Jixiang had been sleeping soundly in a backpack on Lin Xi's back. Even when Lin Xi was talking to Changsun Wujiang, it didn't wake up. But suddenly, it became slightly uneasy while practicing in its deep sleep, and it seemed a little faint.
A dangerous smell came from the distant mountains and forests, and it couldn't help but wake up.
Lin Xi also stopped suddenly.
Gao Yanan, Bian Linghan and everyone else were immediately alert and nervously gathered around the stretcher.
It was the last dark hour before sunrise, and the world was silent. Even some nocturnal insects seemed to have disappeared. Only the sound of fish splashing in the Jingtian Lake in the distance could be heard from time to time.
"how?"
Gao Yanan looked at everything around him carefully, but didn't notice anything. He couldn't help lowering his voice and asked.
Lin Xi made a silent gesture, but her brows furrowed.
He felt Jixiang wake up in his backpack, and at the same time that Jixiang woke up, he also felt a strange uneasy feeling.
Just for a moment, this uneasy feeling seemed to disappear again.
Could it be that he is being targeted by Jingtian Mermaid?
Lin Xi knew that Ji Xiang's perception was stronger than his own, so he patted the backpack gently with his backhand.
Jixiang quickly got out of the backpack, grabbed his clothes with four claws, turned it over his shoulders, and hung it on his chest. Looking at Lin Xi's inquiring eyes, it shook its head in confusion.
Its perception is indeed much sharper than Lin Xi's, but it should be far away, and it can't sense where the faint dangerous aura comes from. At this moment, the faint dangerous aura seems to have completely disappeared.
, just like an illusion.
"Plop!"
At this moment, there was a sound of water entering the lake.
This sound is much louder than the sound of ordinary fish splashing in the water. Just my first instinctive imagination is that it is a large ball of water splash, which should be a large thing falling into the water.
The atmosphere became a little weirder.
Lin Xi's brows furrowed even more tightly.
Just a few breaths later, Ji Xiang's four paws grabbing his clothes suddenly tightened, and then he immediately released one of his paws and stretched out toward the mountain forest ahead. A flash of light flashed in his dark eyes.
Some nervous looks.
At this moment, it has felt the dangerous aura again, but this dangerous aura is different from the very faint, illusion-like aura just now. It is the murderous intention of many cold gold and iron moving.
Lin Xi and others have not yet sensed these more obvious qi for Ji Xiang, but he, Gao Yanan and others knew from Ji Xiang's movements that there must be some danger approaching. Without any hesitation, Lin Xi
Standing it up, Bian Linghan silently climbed up a large tree with dense leaves next to it.
In just five or six breaths, a huge swishing sound came from the mountains and forests ahead, giving the impression that it was like a city wall walking through the woods.
There seemed to be a vague appearance of huge black shadows.
At this time, the first ray of dawn shone on the distant sky.
Almost at the same time, both sides saw each other clearly.
Heavy armor of soul soldiers!
Coming out of the mountain forest almost directly opposite, were a total of twelve heavy armored soul soldiers.
The heavy armor of this soul soldier is all black. The armor on the body is segmented like a centipede. It is completely closed and only exposes the eyes. The helmet is spindle-shaped, and there are dark blue water-weed-like runes all over the body.
This makes the first impression of these heavy soul armors look like shiny, huge black fish standing upright covered with water plants.
In the hands of the "giant black fish", there is a heavy black spear and a thick, sharp-edged pot lid-like round shield.
The heavy armor of the Yunqin Empire's soul soldiers has always been something that shocked the world. However, all the standard armors of the Yunqin Empire have been tested by many years of actual combat and improved by countless skilled craftsmen. They have strict requirements on practicality and appearance.
According to the requirements, this kind of weird, black fish-like armor definitely does not show the military power of the Yunqin Empire. Therefore, any practitioner can be sure that this is definitely not the standard armor of the Yunqin Empire, but comes from
Which large folk workshop in Yunqin privately forged soul weapon heavy armor.
However, whether it is the empire's standard soul weapon heavy armor or the privately forged soul weapon heavy armor from Yunqin's large private workshop, each one consumes a large amount of rare metals and other materials, and some materials used to make runes cannot be
With repeated use, even mature standard armors, such as the Qingwang and Qinglang heavy armors that are most common among the frontier armies, can be refined into ten pieces, but only six to seven will be the final product.
Therefore, the value of each heavy soul armor is astonishing. Generally, a regular army in Yunqin Plain, which is a strong offensive type, is equipped with only thirty to forty heavy armors.
Existence is reasonable... Behind the amazing value, it represents amazing combat power. Thirty heavy soul armors can turn into a huge steel millstone when combined with ordinary heavy armor troops on the battlefield.
The soul weapon armor itself is used to allow low-level practitioners to cross levels and kill high-level practitioners.
Lin Xi understands this best...because every soul armor is like an "Iron Man" in his concept.
Everyone knows that Wen Ren Cang Yue has many private armies and has accumulated a lot of powerful non-standard ordnance.
The twelve strange-looking soul soldiers and heavy armors that appeared here can naturally only be Wen Ren Cang Yue's subordinates.
Lin Xi and others did not expect to encounter a rare soul-armored force here, and their bodies were slightly stiff for a moment.
The opponent's heavy-armored soul soldiers didn't seem to expect to meet anyone here. When they suddenly saw Lin Xi's team, they were all stunned.
…
"I'm so lucky, I happened to bump into a heavily armored team of soul soldiers."
However, the two sides were in a stasis for a moment before Lin Xi reacted and sighed secretly.
Obviously the other party did not intend to intercept and kill them, but was going to perform some mission. The two sides just happened to bump into each other accidentally.
"Who are you?"
Lin Xi didn't hesitate and spoke calmly first.
After making such a sound, he immediately asked in a voice that only Gao Yanan and others could hear, "Do you know what kind of soul weapon heavy armor this is?"
Jiang Xiaoyi and others were silent and did not answer.
Silence means not knowing.
Gao Yanan shook her head slightly. She knew more than the average practitioner, but she had never recorded such a privately forged soul weapon heavy armor.
Lin Xi raised her eyebrows slightly.
The reason why he secretly asked about the style of the soul weapon's heavy armor was because he knew that the possibility of Wenren Cangyue's private army betraying Wenren Cangyue was extremely small, and a battle would be inevitable. On the way to the Lost Forest
, I am afraid that there are always dangers, and he wants to keep his unique abilities as much as possible, so if he really wants to fight, he will try first to see if he can win. And since he understood the principles of cultivation, he will not
He consciously has a mind like a cultivator like Li Ku. The stronger the opponent he encounters and the more intense the pressure on his mind, the more he can't help but want to try to fight with him.
impulse.
Because he has the ability to do it again, this impulse in him will be more obvious.
However, any spiritual idiot will not be a true idiot and will have his own rational judgment. Lin Xi knows very well that only practitioners at the level of a great national master can directly defeat the heavy armor of the soul soldier with the majestic soul power. He and himself
If a practitioner of Gao Yanan's level wants to kill a practitioner in the heavy soul armor, he can only attack the weakest point of the heavy armor.
Almost all privately forged soul weapon heavy armors will have more flaws than the Yunqin standard heavy armors, because although some large workshops will also produce amazingly talented master craftsmen, after all, they cannot match the number of those in the imperial court.
Compared with the number of craftsmen in the hall, one person's wisdom can sometimes be transformed into something special about a soul weapon armor, such as a particularly fast sprint speed, a particularly amazing weapon, or a more flexible movement, but it is often impossible for one person to
Every aspect has been considered so perfectly. It is impossible to compare with decades of continuous improvement. Privately forged soul weapon heavy armor cannot have countless actual combat tests. Even if some kind of flaw is discovered, it will not be affected by the ability of the craftsman and the workshop.
Due to limitations, it is difficult to make effective improvements.
Therefore, for some privately made heavy armors that are spread out, their famous points and weaknesses will basically be known to practitioners.
However, these privately crafted heavy armors in front of us seem to be rarely circulated outside. As a result, we can only find the attack points of these heavy armors in fierce battles... and the power of these heavy armors' swing weapons,
It is completely unknown how much soul power is consumed and how long a soul master-level practitioner can sustain it for wearing it. These data are completely unknown. It is naturally more difficult to deal with such heavy soul armor.
…
It was almost exactly the same as Lin Xi expected.
After hearing Lin Xi's inquiry, he felt like the twelve upright "black fish generals" in the heavy armor of soul soldiers did not show the slightest friendliness. The heavy armor of soul soldiers in the forefront was extremely cold and forbidding.
made a voice: "You don't need to ask who we are...because you certainly don't seem to be loyal to General Wenren, so we must be enemies."
"What if I told you that this person is the current prince?"
Lin Xi calmly reached out and tapped Changsun Wujiang behind him, "As long as you save him, you will not only atone for your previous sins, but also achieve great achievements. Are you really willing to follow Wenren Cangyue on the road of no return?"
The twelve heavy armored soul soldiers looked at each other at the same time, and Senhan's eyes almost showed surprise and teasing at the same time.
"You are too childish."
The leader of the heavily armored soul soldier looked at Lin Xi mockingly, "We were originally ordered to rush to cooperate with the assassination of the prince."
Du Zhanye's body trembled again. Generally speaking, practitioners who need to use the Soul Weapon Heavy Armor to increase their strength cannot be high-level practitioners, because the runes of the Soul Weapon Heavy Armor can only hold a certain level of soul power.
, the strongest power of the entire soul weapon heavy armor is constant, but even the most ordinary soul soldier heavy armor, its power will roughly reach the level of a great soul master, but its armor defense is even higher.
No other level of practitioners can compare with it.
In her opinion, they could not be the opponents of these twelve heavily armored soul soldiers.
"It seems to be such a coincidence." However, Lin Xi's voice was still very calm, and even a little hopeful.
