Chapter 184: Fall from the Sky
Looking down from an altitude of 3,000 meters, the entire city is surrounded by layers of sand crystal scorpions. There are countless tens of thousands of them. The dense group of sand crystal scorpions are mixed with thousands of advanced sand crystal scorpions. Among them, the median of the first level is nine.
There are more than a hundred of them, close to a hundred at the first level. The last one at the first level should be the Sand Crystal Scorpion King. Standing far away on the sand dunes several miles away from the city, he looks like a general commanding thousands of troops.
It is as big as a millstone, one size bigger than Big Gray. Among the sand crystal scorpions, there are more than thirty yellow jade earth dragons interspersed among them. There are three advanced monsters, two second-level lower commanders, and one second-level dragon.
The middle topaz earth dragon king.
Faced with so many low- and mid-level monsters, the city's defenders seemed extremely weak. More than 10,000 people were scattered on the long city wall defense line. They were all sword-raising level spirit sword masters with varying levels of cultivation, 60%
The above are all the lowest level spirit sword masters who have less than the fourth level of sword raising, the third level reaches the middle level of sword raising, and the spirit sword masters who have less than one level reach the upper level of sword raising. Naturally, these spirit sword masters do not have the strength to kill the Sand Crystal Scorpion alone.
Even the weakest sand crystal scorpion can kill them all, so most of these people are on the city wall, using the defensive sword formation guarding the city as cover. A group of four people controls a huge crossbow bed similar to the secular "demon-shooting crossbow".
After shooting out the six-foot-long crossbow arrows made of yellow spar, the remaining slightly stronger spirit swordsmen, wearing earthy yellow spirit armor, formed a team of ten as a mobile force to break through the sword formation defense and climb up.
The deserted Sand Crystal Scorpions surrounded them and killed them or pushed them off the city wall. There were more than two hundred spirit sword masters hunting monsters outside the city, all of whom were at the Sword Vein Stage or above, and the leading three were sword masters.
In the early days of Gang, these people were still pale and helpless in front of the surging beast tide. Although each of the three Gang Spirit Sword Masters could clear a blank area dozens of feet long with each sword, more sand crystal scorpions would soon
Filling this empty space only stirs up a wave of waves.
These spirit sword masters are not safe in the sky. There is a golden spike growing on the tail of the sand crystal scorpion, which can easily penetrate any target within a hundred feet. Among them, there are several spirit sword masters in the sword vein stage.
Bu Zha was stabbed into a sieve by dozens of tails. Even more terrifying was the Topaz Earth Dragon. This kind of monster could sneak under the sand layer, quietly lurking under the spirit sword master, and suddenly emerged from the sand layer, holding it in its huge mouth.
The falling sand and gravel are spit out, and can hit the spirit sword master hundreds of feet high in the air. After being hit, he is directly smashed into a pulp by the sand pillar. Even if he survives, he will fall to the dust and be eaten by countless sand crystal scorpions below.
Not a scrap of bone remains.
"Sir, we don't have enough topaz armor-piercing arrows. I'm afraid we won't be able to support the sky!"
A blood-stained spirit sword master led a team of yellow-armored spirit sword masters and hurriedly walked up to a middle-aged man with a handsome face. The middle-aged man wore a set of emerald-colored spirit armor, among the common khaki-colored spirit armor.
It is particularly conspicuous in the middle, which also indicates its different identity.
Li Yi split a sand crystal scorpion in half and glanced at the seemingly endless sea of scorpions below. A sense of powerlessness deeply filled his heart. A large beast tide that was rare in three hundred years actually appeared.
He met him! I don’t know whether it was luck or sorrow. He had just taken over as the city lord for twenty years and was ready to use his fists and kicks to open up a huge business. Unexpectedly, God gave him a blow in the head.
"How long can we last?" Li Yi asked in a hoarse voice.
Li Zhong touched the blood spattered on General's face: "One hour, if you use it sparingly, you can probably last half an hour longer."
Li Yi looked pale and looked at the sky with some despair. There were still at least two hours before dark, which meant that they had to hold on for at least two hours. Topaz armor-piercing arrows were their only effective means to fight against the beast tide.
, once the city-protecting sword formation is exhausted, it will probably collapse immediately.
"Is it because God wants to destroy our West Wind City?"
Li Yi raised his head and asked Qingtian, hoarsely: "There is no news from Liusha City and Tianhuang City yet?"
Li Zhong shook his head, with an angry look on his face: "No, these two old men were favored by the old city lord in the early years, but now that Xifeng City is in trouble, they are indifferent!"
grumble--
A sharp cry spread throughout the battlefield, and could be clearly heard even on the city wall. The largest sand crystal scorpion king could be seen standing up, opening its mouthparts full of fine teeth, and the sound waves were emitted from its mouth.
.
Below the city wall, the group of sand crystal scorpions that were desperately attacking suddenly paused, and then separated to both sides. Hundreds of sand crystal scorpions as big as millstones were seen neatly lined up, and the scorpion tails as thick as human arms were raised and sharp.
The sharp edge was facing the light shield covering the city wall.
Above the city wall, Li Yi and Li Zhong's faces instantly turned pale.
"First-order mid-level sand crystal scorpion! Attack! All demon-hunting spirit crossbows fire! Target sand crystal scorpion phalanx!" Li Yi roared at the top of his lungs.
On the city wall, hundreds of demon-hunting spirit crossbows all around changed directions at the same time. Although the spirit crossbows farther away also heard the order, they were too far away and beyond the attack range of the spirit crossbows, so they could only watch.
Hundreds of spirit crossbows did not dare to delay for a moment, and simultaneously released topaz armor-piercing arrows. The thick crossbow arrows gathered into a rain of arrows, falling towards the phalanx of hundreds of sand crystal scorpions below.
The sand crystal scorpion below also shot out the spikes on its tail at the same time. The rain of arrows and thorns passed by each other. Hundreds of topaz armor-piercing arrows first landed in the square array of hundreds of sand crabs, directly hitting a group of sand crabs.
More than a hundred sand crystal scorpions were nailed to death on the sand. Then the sting rain shot out by the sand crystal scorpions also fell on the light shield of the defensive sword formation, and it fell in a small area of several feet in radius.
Bo! Bo! Bo!
Under intensive shooting, the second-level defensive sword array was directly torn open, and a gap several feet long appeared.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
The sand crystal scorpions on the outside rushed into the gap crazily. In just a few breaths, hundreds of sand crystal scorpions rushed in and climbed up quickly against the city wall.
After the defensive sword array was broken open again, its spiritual power automatically operated to repair the gap, and the cracked hole slowly closed. But at this moment, the nearby sand suddenly exploded, and a yellow jade earth dragon as thick as a water tank ran out.
It came out, and its huge body formed an arch and was directly supported on the gap. This was one of the two second-level lower-level topaz earth dragons. It didn't know when it sneaked over from the ground and launched a fatal blow.
With the support of this second-level topaz earth dragon, the second-level defensive sword formation could only and could not repair the gap in a short time. Therefore, the sand crystal scorpions quickly poured in from the gap opened by the topaz earth dragon.
The bloody killings on the city wall have begun. If only one or a few sand crystal scorpions rush up, these city-defending spirit swordsmen at the sword-raising level can kill or push them down with human sea tactics, but now there are hundreds of them.
With thousands of sand crystal scorpions, the entire defense line collapsed instantly.
A famous spirit swordsman was cut off by the sand crystal scorpion's huge pliers, and the demon hunting spirit crossbows were destroyed. The sand crystal scorpion was like water flowing into a canal, flowing rapidly along the city wall to both sides, and more
The sand crystal scorpion climbed up from under the city wall.
"Sound the horn as a warning! Recall the three sect masters immediately!"
Li Yi roared at the top of his lungs and chopped at the sand crystal scorpions that were coming towards him. His cultivation in the middle stage of the sword vein was pushed to the extreme.
The desolate horn sounded from above the city wall and spread throughout the battlefield. Three spiritual sword masters in the early stage of Jian Gang were besieging a second-level low-grade yellow jade earth dragon. When they heard the horn, their faces changed wildly, and they no longer cared about being attacked by them together.
The scarred yellow jade earth dragon swooped towards the city wall. Other spirit sword masters also used flying swords to return to the rescue.
"Lord City Lord! We can't stop it! Please return to the inner city immediately to defend!" Li Zhong fought hard to kill among the sand crystal scorpions. His cultivation level was at the early stage of sword vein, but in the face of the surging sand crystal scorpion beasts, he could only forcefully fight.
To protect himself, the khaki armor on his body was in tatters, a piece of his breastplate was completely missing, and a piece of flesh and blood was removed from his thigh.
The helmet on Li Yi's head has been lost, his hair is disheveled, and he looks like a madman. He laughs desolately: "Retreat? Is there any way to retreat? If the outer city can't be defended, what's the use of the inner city? The foundation of my Li family will be ruined.
It’s in my hands!”
Most of the entire city wall has collapsed, and hundreds of sand crystal scorpions have rushed down the city wall and headed into the city. Screams and howls occurred one after another, staged a horrific tragedy. The entire West Wind City has a population of 500,000, and the outer city
Occupying 400,000 people, it will be impossible for these people to survive once the beast tide pours into the city. It will be a one-sided massacre!
"Sword Ancestor! What evil have I, Li Yi, done? Do you want me, Xifeng City, to suffer this calamity?" Li Yi looked up to the sky and screamed, questioning the sky.
As if in response to Li Yi's question, a small white dot appeared in the sky, and then quickly grew in size. After a few breaths, it became the size of a steamed bun, followed by a sea bowl. The shape of the white dot could be seen below, and a divine horse.
There is a silver demonic beast with wings on its back, and there seems to be a figure sitting on the demonic beast's back.
"What is that?" Many spirit sword masters noticed the mysterious monster, and then watched in surprise as it fell straight towards the tide of beasts.
Mo Wen stood up from Da Hui's back and tapped Da Hui's back with his foot: "Catch the biggest scorpion."
Da Hui let out an excited howl. His huge eyes stared at the Sand Crystal Scorpion King who was standing on a dune giving orders. His wings fluttered and he flew away. Mo Wen had already jumped off Da Hui's back and was about to
Below is the second-level middle-ranked Topaz Earth Dragon King.
This topaz earth dragon king has gone through two transformations, evolving from the first-level super-grade to the second-level mid-level. Its body is similar to the ordinary topaz earth dragon, but the color of its body is darker, completely turning into a deep yellow color, and its lower jaw
Two slender tendrils also grew out, adding a bit of etherealness.
hold head high--
The Yellow Jade Earth Dragon discovered Mo Wen, raised his head and let out a low and deep cry. He opened his huge mouth and aimed it at the ground and sucked in. Countless grains of sand rushed into the huge mouth, then raised the snake's head and aimed it at the ground.
He hit Mo Wen who was falling, then sprayed hard, and a thick pillar of sand hit Mo Wen head-on.
Mo Wen raised his left arm, and a white sword light shot out, easily breaking through the sand pillar, and then hit the snake's head with all its strength.
