Chapter 1713: Soldiers coming to stop them
No matter how powerful the immortal is, without the spiritual energy, he is like a fish on the shore. How long can he jump? By then, the Heavenly Palace will take the spiritual energy for itself and slowly waste the immortals. The scales of victory will eventually lean towards the Heavenly Palace.
However, Bai Ziqi did not show any relief on his face. Instead, he issued several orders in succession, set up formations, deployed manpower, and guarded the enemy strictly.
"Qian Huan is a veteran ancient true immortal and the administrator of Lingshan. He is different from the ordinary immortals that the Heavenly Palace has employed before. On the contrary, the Tiangang Array has been running for more than 150 years, and no one can tell how much spiritual energy and mysterious crystals he has stored." The suction of the Xiandu Array can only increase the consumption of Qian Huan and the Huan Sect. As for whether they can reduce their inventory to the bottom, it is hard to say.
"So another important goal of ours is to destroy the forces under Qian Huan." Qian Huan's retreat provided a golden opportunity. "The illusion also needs spiritual power to maintain it, and the illusion also has laws to abide by. Otherwise, why did the previous great magical attack stop?"
"Is it because the Illusion Sect has discovered us and can't do anything to us?" Bai Shiqi walked over with a pale face.
Bai Ziqi asked him, "How is your lamp spirit?"
Just now, two lamp spirits went into the water and barely managed to pull Bai Shiqi's lamp spirit back, but the price was that all three were injured to varying degrees.
Those underwater monsters are very powerful.
Bai Shiqi took out a platinum candle from his arms and whispered, "This is all I have left."
There was only a tiny flame on the candle, flickering and about to go out.
Bai Shiqi himself also had a sallow complexion and black forehead. He was also promoted from the lamp bearer, and was connected to the lamp spirit. The lamp spirit was severely injured, and he also suffered a backlash. Now he felt very uncomfortable.
Bai Ziqi took out his pale platinum candle and blew on it.
With a "whoosh", it lit up.
He directed the candlelight to Bai Shiqi's candle, and the latter's flame suddenly rose higher, no longer looking sickly as before.
Bai Shiqi knew that he had given the power of the Great Lamp Spirit to himself, and he could not help but feel grateful: "Thank you, Lord Dushi!"
Bai Ziqi waved his hand: "Tell me about the situation underwater."
"My lamp spirit couldn't illuminate anything after entering the water. The surrounding seawater was still pitch black. I could only rely on finding the right direction before entering the water to drive away the Yakshas under the boat." Bai Shiqi raised his head and swallowed a pill. "But just after repelling a dozen Yakshas, something rushed towards my lamp spirit in the darkness. It was a few monsters that looked like sea eels or giant pythons. The lamp spirit couldn't illuminate the darkness, but I could feel that there was an even greater threat hidden in the depths of the lake."
Bai Ziqi looked back at the lake. This was Upside-Down Lake, a dark place that even the Eternal Lamp Spirit could not illuminate, and many strange things were hidden in it.
As soon as Bai Shiqi finished speaking, the fleet moored at the shore suddenly shook violently.
The Yakshas roared and dragged one large ship after another to the bottom of the lake, as if venting their previous anger.
The Tiangong army could only stand on the shore and watch. There was nothing they could do. They could only be thankful that everyone had reached the shore. It was unwise to fight these guys in the water.
But this feeling of powerlessness caused the army's morale to be a little low.
Bai Ziqi just said: "Don't worry, we will take the Huanzong's ship on the way back."
On this trip to the Upside-Down Sea, the only option is victory, not defeat. If you win, you will certainly take everything from Qian Huan.
At this time, some flying Yakshas appeared in the sky and tried to attack the Xiandu formation, but were repelled by the arrows shot by the Tiangong team. In addition, the Xiandu formation itself had excellent defensive capabilities, and Bai Wei set up six or seven defensive formations for it. The two Yakshas were not even able to get close to the Xiandu formation and were smashed into pieces.
Bai Shiqi looked at the huge lotus array in the sky and said admiringly, "Master, you are so good at predicting things. The enemy really didn't resort to the trick of moving mountains and seas!"
"It's not that we don't need it, it's that we can't use it for the time being." Bai Ziqi was very calm. "The Illusion Sect first summoned a tsunami, then three black fish, and then lifted the mountain to retreat the sea. These magical powers not only consume huge amounts of energy, but also have a significant feature, which is 'creating something out of nothing'. They shouldn't appear in the order of this illusion! No matter what power they borrowed to achieve it, there is a price to pay."
"This price is not only the consumption of a huge amount of spiritual energy, but also the destruction of the illusion itself!" Bai Ziqi deeply understood Miao Zhantian's reasoning just now, "So this time, they summoned Yaksha from the Upside-Down Lake to attack us, which is a downgrade of the attack method."
Bai Shiqi subconsciously looked at the candle in his hand: "This?"
Huan Zong's attack was downgraded, but he was still seriously injured by it?
"The bodies of these Yakshas are made of water shells, but their souls are real. They can't be considered as 'creating something out of nothing', so their attack power is also weaker." In this illusion, the "real" attack power is actually weaker, which is interesting. "This confirms what the goddess just said. If the Illusion Sect can really do whatever it wants here without any scruples, why would they attack and downgrade?"
"The reason why the battle against Yaksha was so thrilling was because we didn't use any killing weapons." Bai Ziqi looked at the array symbol of the Xiandu array, "The Huan Sect also knows this, and they keep attacking in succession just to expose our trump card."
In this war, whoever loses control and reveals his cards first will be put in a passive position.
"Yes." Of course, Bai Shiqi also knew that in order to protect the fleet from being overturned by the tsunami, the gods had just consumed a huge amount of divine power. This kind of power was used up as it was used. It should have been saved to deal with Qianhuan Zhenren, but it was wasted in the illusion, which was not worth it.
Unless the Tiangong team faces life and death again, the gods will not take action again.
The lakeside is upside down and the waves are calm for fifty breaths.
During these fifty breaths, even the wind blowing through the treetops stopped, and only the talisman of the Xiandu formation flashed an increasingly bright light in the air. The gods also estimated that it would only take ten hours for this formation to devour the spiritual energy of the entire small world!
As long as we hold on until that time, the trend of one rising while the other falling will be achieved!
Just as Bai Ziqi made this conclusion, the originally calm lake began to become turbulent again, with waves hitting the shore in circles.
The sentry shouted a warning: "Something is coming from the water, and it's very large!"
Bai Ziqi's order was simple and clear: "The whole army should respond to the attack."
I knew that the Huan Zong would not sit idly by and watch them absorb all the spiritual energy.
Soon, the things in the lake began to show their hideous appearance. Huge black shadows emerged from the water and moved towards the shore step by step.
Yaksha is here again.
However, the Yaksha walking in the front row was huge, five or six times larger than the previous one. In addition to his ferocious appearance, his body was full of muscles, and he exuded a violent aura.
They came onto land, holding halberds or spears with seaweed hanging on the tips, and the ground shook with every step they took.
When Bai Shiqi saw one of the giant Yakshas, he couldn't help but clench his fists, because this guy was shaped like a Hydra, with only one tail but nine heads, each of which looked like a nightmare.
Nightmare at the bottom of the lake.
This is the guy who just ambushed and severely injured the lamp spirit in the Dark Lake, right?
These big guys were not alone either, for they were followed by groups of little Yakshas, which also densely covered the entire stone beach, as if there were endless them in the lake.
The Xiandu formation was at a critical juncture where every second counted. If they changed locations and restarted, it would waste a lot of time. So for the next two quarters of an hour, the Tiangong team had to hold on no matter what.
"Cheer up and take revenge!"
"For the goddess' sake, drive these ghosts back into the lake!"
Generals such as Luo Dian and Ka Ye were all cheering up their own soldiers. They were indeed the elite troops brought by Miao Zhantian. If it were the troops from other places in the Golden Plains, they would have been trembling and losing all their fighting spirit in the face of this series of events tonight. However, this team was roaring and shouting, and their bodies were glowing with a hazy light.
“God of people and women!”
This is the Yuanli activated.
The three teams came from three different countries, and this trip was a military expedition. Although their Yuan Power was not as strong as when they were at home, the generals were all there, the number of people in the team was also there, and they still condensed Yuan Power.
Bai Ziqi brought them all the way to the sea. In addition to being impressed by their martial arts, he also wanted to learn the magical power of their Yuanli.
Apart from anything else, the army's energy has a natural suppressive effect against monsters like Yaksha that have human souls and water bodies.
In a blink of an eye, the two sides started fighting and a melee broke out.
The giant Yakshas were not only large in size, but some of them were also skilled in magic! For example, one of the giant Yakshas with green skin, red hair, and a skull necklace around its neck could summon a wave to crash against the shore every time it raised its three-pronged fork. A wave more than ten feet high would surge behind it and smash into the Heavenly Palace team.
The spell itself has limited killing power, which is greatly reduced by the elemental force, but it can knock a living person to the ground, and their formation and position will be ruined.
The other Yakshas took the opportunity to rush forward.
The soul-shaking drum sounded again in Bai Ziqi's camp. It was the same sound that defeated the Yaksha who boarded the boat the last time. But this time, the water monsters tightly surrounded the giant Yaksha, and when the drum sounded, a black halo appeared around each giant Yaksha. The water monsters surrounded by it took firm steps and were no longer afraid of the soul-shaking drum sound.
These Yakshas are improving so quickly.
The Tiangong team was not afraid at all. As long as they left the lake and stepped onto the ground, they would have the courage to resist the enemy.
Bai Ziqi waved his hand and said, "Release the golden armor."
A few breaths later, three golden-armored generals rushed out from the Heavenly Palace camp.
Although it is called "Golden Armor", it looks like brass in the night, and it is not accurate to call it "God General" because only one of them is human-shaped, and the other two, one is in the shape of a giant bear, and the other does not even look like a living creature. It is just a huge ball divided into two circles, the outer circle can roll freely, and the inner circle can accommodate at least fifty or sixty people.
The jargon for this ball is called a free kick. It can move as its owner wishes, but no matter how the outer circle rolls, the inner circle is almost completely still. The soldiers inside will only feel slight bumps and will never be upside down with the big golden ball.
When the golden ball rolls past the enemy, it slows down and they can shoot arrows or stab with spears and halberds, and the attacks will pass through the surface of the golden ball and hit the enemy without any obstacles.
Sitting in this mobile fortress, their combat power increased greatly.
