Cultivation Begins From The Desert

v3 Chapter 158: insufficiency

Whoosh whoosh!

On the head of Zhenyue Xiancheng, a thousand arrows were fired.

The "Demon Hunting Crossbows" shone with aura, and under the control of the monks in the city, they shot arrows of death one after another.

Although the power of the "Demon Hunting Crossbow" can hit even the third-tier high-grade monsters, in fact, not many monks will target it at the third-tier high-grade monsters in battle.

Because the third-order high-grade monsters are not only faster, but also more difficult to hit, they are shot. As long as the arrows are not hit in the vital parts of the head and heart, they can continue to attack with their injuries, and this kind of injured monsters When the beast attacked, the threat posed to the monks who defended the city was even greater than those who were in good condition.

Therefore, all the manipulators of the crossbow machine, including Zhou Yang, shot the crossbow arrows at the huge third-tier low-grade monsters or second-tier high-grade monsters in sight.

These monsters, which are huge in size and not particularly strong in cultivation, will not be inferior to some third-tier high-grade monsters in their ability to destroy city walls, but they do not have the defensive ability and survivability of those third-tier high-grade monsters. If you kill them, they will fall to the ground and die or be seriously injured.

And with the current density of the "beast tide" under the city wall, once a monster falls to the ground, it will not die on the spot, and it will easily be trampled to death by the monsters coming from behind.

But there are too many monsters!

The monsters that Zhou Yang and the others shot to death were like the few splashes that splashed when the tide came, and they couldn't affect the overall situation at all.

What can really cause massive attrition to the hundreds of thousands of "beast hordes" still depends on the spells and instruments of the cultivators.

"Prepare for the first round of spells!"

"put!"

"Second round of spell preparations!"

……

Zhou Yang's body shone with golden light, and the body protection spell "Golden Light of Ganyang" had been released, and he had temporarily given up controlling the shooting of the "Demon Hunting Crossbow", and instead commanded his team to release the spell.

The "beast tide" will not end in a single wave. Those high-level monsters who command the "beast tide" behind the scenes will continue to use the low-level monsters to consume the swordsman's bolts until the city guards run out of bolts. After that, the main force of the real "beast tide" will appear.

Therefore, a big killer like the "Demon Hunting Crossbow" must not be used up in the first round of attacks, otherwise the follow-up will definitely not be able to withstand the real main attack of the "Beast Tide".

With a hundred-zhang-high city wall blocking it, most of the second-order monsters could not climb the city wall of Zhenyue Xiancheng, but as long as these monsters rushed under the city, they could attack the cultivators with their spells on the city wall.

Therefore, while Zhou Yang and the others were releasing spells and magical weapons downwards, a series of colorful spells also fell to the city wall from bottom to top, and fell on them.

Fortunately, the city wall of Zhenyue Xiancheng is made of fine iron and "black steel stone" with the characteristics of anti-law. On the other hand, there is no need to worry that the city wall will be smashed down by the monster spell and buried alive.

Moreover, the city wall is more than 30 feet wide, and there is enough space for them to move and change positions, so as to avoid being set on fire by the monsters below.

However, even so, when the spells of some third-order monsters fell on the city, it was inevitable that some monks during the Qi training period could not escape and be killed on the spot.

In less than a quarter of an hour after the battle, Zhou Yang's team lost two people, and several others were injured and needed treatment.

However, Zhou Yang has no time to take care of these at this time, because as more and more monsters come to the city, some third-order monsters and some second-order high-grade monsters who are good at climbing and jumping have successively passed through various kinds of monsters. Means to climb up the walls.

Although they didn't receive an order that no monsters were allowed to enter the city, Zhou Yang and the cultivators who guarded the city wall instinctively wanted to kill all monsters that climbed the city wall.

Besides, even if they don't kill these monsters, it's impossible for these monsters to let them go.

Zhou Yang did not intend to expose the supernatural powers of "Dianyang True Fire" to the public, so he could only use magic weapons to attack those monsters who were on the top of the city.

It's just that if he doesn't use the three trump cards of "Qianyang True Fire", "Qianyang Tianjian", and "Destroyer Needle", his attack methods are completely unworthy of his status as a fourth-layer foundation-building cultivator.

Whether it is "Red Profound Golden Light Sword", "Vermilion Bird Ring", or "Poison Fire Flying Fork", they are only third-order low-end products. If they are fighting alone, it is no problem to use these magic weapons to cooperate with his few trump cards.

But now that the hole cards can't be moved lightly, the attack effects of these magic weapons are completely underwhelming.

If it was Dong Jianping, a foundation-building cultivator who had built foundations for many years, the algorithm attack was not effective, and he could rely on spells to make up for this disadvantage.

However, although Zhou Yang has been building a foundation for more than 20 years, he has not really learned the third-order spells that can be used in battle. Most of his time is spent on improving cultivation and refining techniques. In terms of things, there is simply no time to slowly practice those third-order spells that can be used in battle.

If it weren't for the "Soul Soul Bell" magic weapon and the "Xuanshui Shield" magic weapon on his body, both of which are excellent defensive magic tools, now that he is facing multiple monster attacks at the same time, I am afraid that his own life will be difficult to save.

It's just that Dong Jianping doesn't know about his current embarrassment. What Dong Jianping sees is that even though his defensive magic weapons are third-order high-grade and third-rank middle-grade magic weapons, he has always used several third-order low-grade magic weapons to attack. He didn't even release a third-order spell, which made him very annoyed who was desperately fighting against monsters.

Under his anger, he couldn't help but shouted in an angry voice: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, monsters attacking the city can't tolerate the slightest negligence, and now is not the time to hide your secrets. If you keep covering up and refuse to use real means, don't blame Dong for not being able to. Keep the promise!"

According to the agreement of the two, the monsters killed by the two in the battle will be divided into six and four, he six and Zhou Yang four.

But now in this situation, there are already two third-order low-grade monsters who have died under his hands, and Zhou Yang is not counting the monsters that he used to kill with the "Monster Hunting Crossbow", but he was able to deal with one. How can you not be angry?

"Fellow Daoist Dong, forgive me, it's not long before Zhou broke through the fourth floor of the foundation building, and the magic weapon in his hand has not yet been replaced. The previous agreement can be not implemented for the time being.

Zhou Yang took a deep breath, took the initiative to transmit the voice to explain the reason, and gave up the previous agreement on the distribution of spoils.

He couldn't really use those trump cards that couldn't be moved lightly because of Dong Jianping's urging. For him, being able to survive the "beast tide" siege and survive until he left Zhenyue Xiancheng was the most important thing.

Seeing this, even though Dong Jianping was depressed and unlucky in his heart, he couldn't say anything more. He could only continue to keep up his spirits and fight fiercely with the monsters on the city wall.

Gradually, with the passage of time, a large number of corpses of monsters and monks gradually accumulated on the city head of Zhenyue Xiancheng, and the originally spacious city head became crowded due to the accumulation of these corpses.

At this time, Zhou Yang had no time to worry about what happened to his subordinates. He just desperately attacked the monsters that had climbed to the top of the city, trying his best to contribute to defending the city.

The fierce battle caused his mana consumption to be more than double that of normal fighting with others. In just one hour, his mana was less than half left, and the meridians in his body were faintly transmitted due to the excessive output of mana. Painful feeling.

And in this hour, he killed as many as three low-rank third-rank monsters, and two other third-rank middle-rank monsters were severely injured by him, then escaped from his defense zone and beheaded by other monks.

"Everyone be careful, the flying monsters are here!"

Suddenly, an icy loud shout suddenly sounded from the city wall. It was the voice of Jia Yunzhen, the commander of the third brigade of the city wall garrison.

After Zhou Yang heard the icy shout like a knife, his mind was clear, and he quickly turned his head to look outside the city.

I saw that in the wilderness outside the city wall, all kinds of colorful birds and monsters were turning into streamers of various colors and rushed towards the city wall.

Zhenyue Xiancheng has a forbidden space magic circle, not to mention these birds and monsters that are only the third-order high-grade, even the fifth-order birds and monsters can't fly in the fairy city, but these monsters can easily fall to the city and attack. The garrison monk on the top of the city.

According to the previous experience in dealing with the "beast tide", when the flying monsters attack, it is the last resort of the first wave of the "beast tide"~lightnovelpub.net~ At the same time, this is also the most dangerous for the cultivators of the city. time.

quack!

Tweet!

The piercing bird chirping resounded through the sky. After the birds and monsters in the sky flew over Zhenyue Xiancheng, they were suppressed by the air-forbidding magic circle and fell to the ground like dumplings.

At this time, Zhou Yang and other cultivators who were still alive in the city seized this opportunity to beat down the water birds.

Zhou Yang threw the "Vermilion Bird Ring" in his hand, and just put it on the mouth of a third-order mid-rank monster "Jianzuhe", and then his consciousness moved, and the "Red Profound Golden Light Sword" disappeared in a flash. The "Jianzui Crane" slashed across the long neck, beheading the monster on the spot.

But this is the only chance to kill a monster of the same rank easily like this. If it wasn't for the "Jianzuhe" being suppressed by the forbidden space and falling into a panic, his "Vermilion Bird Ring" was shot out. Immediately, he will be pecked by the other side, so that he can steal the chicken without losing the rice.

However, when he had just dealt with the "Jianzui Crane" and was about to deal with another Tier 3 monster, a cry for help suddenly came into his ears.

"Ask Daoyou Zhou to help Dong, and Dong will have a great reward!"

He followed the voice and saw that Dong Jianping was being crushed and beaten by a third-order high-grade monster "Gripen Beast", and behind him were his two children who were practicing Qi.

"Fellow Daoist Dong, don't worry, Zhou is here too!"

Zhou Yang cheered up, and even turned the flying sword to attack the "Gripen Beast", and at the same time threw the soul-suppressing bell, covering the two descendants of Dong Jianping, so that he could face the enemy without any worries.
