Chapter 460: Red Heart Swan Arrow
Various elixirs were poured into their mouths; at this time, every second counted, and both Sun and Ning were trying their best to recover.
Soon, they took action again.
According to Ning Zhuo's plan, they didn't go to steal the magic power pool, but went to the armory.
The stone ball suddenly emerged from the ground of the armory, immediately triggering the alarm and the attack of the defensive formation.
"Hold on!" Ning Zhuo borrowed the stone ball and cast the Earth-Walking Technique!
The surging magic power was consumed rapidly, turning into a majestic earth-yellow halo.
The halo was shallow, but the defense was deep, easily supporting all attacks.
"The armory is under attack!"
"Quick, follow me in to kill the enemy!!"
The cultivators guarding outside the armory heard the movement and immediately broke in.
Then, they saw a round stone ball rolling rapidly in the armory, and wherever it went, suits of armor and long spears disappeared.
"Someone is stealing military armaments!"
"Bad, quick, stop him!"
"Thief, leave your life!"
The Bai Yu Camp cultivators were furious and took action one after another.
They used military strength, and the power of various attacks soared, shaking the earth-yellow halo... and that was it.
If this batch of soldiers could mobilize all their military strength, perhaps they could harm the stone ball, but how is that possible now?
The vast majority of military strength was constantly mobilized to help the commander and deputy commanders besiege Lord Xiang, and occasionally help external cultivators enhance defense and resist long-range spell attacks from other Jin Dan cultivators in Qianfeng Forest.
If there were Jin Dan level cultivators among this batch of soldiers, with the boost of military strength and battle formation, perhaps they could also hurt the stone ball.
But the reality is that the highest cultivation among this batch of soldiers is only at the Foundation Establishment stage.
The timing Ning Zhuo chose was really too good; the Bai Yu Camp was already overwhelmed and difficult to protect comprehensively.
The stone ball resisted various attacks, turned a circle in this armory, and took away almost all the military armaments.
Then, in the eyes of more than a dozen extremely angry people, it drilled into the ground and disappeared again.
Inside the stone ball, inside the Ten Thousand Mile Swimming Dragon.
A large batch of armor and long spears piled up like a small mountain.
Sun Lingtong released the theft technique with all his strength, making them very miniature, otherwise the mechanism swimming dragon really couldn't hold them!
Jade Armor!
Startling Light Spear!
The battle armor was mainly milky white, the surface emitting a layer of jade light, both tough and hard, with outstanding defensive capabilities.
The battle armor as a whole was round, the shoulder armor was smooth, the lines were smooth, the chest armor was like a round mirror, the arc was full, and the whole was simple and elegant.
The long spear was snow-white, the spear tip was sharp, flashing with cold light, the spear body was cold, seven feet long, and the spear tail had a rampart-like ring structure to prevent slipping, and sometimes it could also assist in blocking.
Whether it was the Jade Armor or the Startling Light Spear, they were magic tools, with their own military tactics.
The former brought the technique of "Donning Armor," which could cover the whole body with defense; the latter brought the technique of "Holding Sharpness," which could add the sharpness of the long spear to the fists and feet.
The two military tactics could also be matched to form the technique of "Donning Armor and Holding Sharpness!"
This military tactic could make the soldiers' attack and defense merge into one, becoming a whole; attack is defense, defense is attack.
If the enemy punches the armor, it is like using a fist to smash the spear tip. Similarly, if you smash the thin and sharp spear tip hard, it is no different from hitting solid armor.
The technique of "Donning Armor and Holding Sharpness" is a quite classic military tactic; once cast, attack and defense are balanced, and there are no shortcomings.
Therefore, although these two types of weapons were only at the magic tool level, not magic treasure level, they were still expensive.
The market price of the Jade Armor was 40,000 low-grade spirit stones, and the Startling Light Spear was 70,000 low-grade spirit stones.
There were more than 400 sets of Jade Armor and more than 380 Startling Light Spears.
The total value was about 42.26 million low-grade spirit stones!
Because it was at the magic tool level, Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong sealed them much easier than the magic power pool.
It was just that the quantity was too large.
Sun and Ning were busy with their hands flying, and after completing all the temporary seals, they were so tired that they lay on the floor, motionless.
"I don't want to move anymore." Ning Zhuo's face was pale, bloodless, and his eyes were full of bloodshot.
His cultivation was only at the early Foundation Establishment stage, much lower than Sun Lingtong.
Sun Lingtong struggled to support himself, sat up with his upper body, and encouraged Ning Zhuo: "Little Zhuo, get up quickly. This is an excellent opportunity, don't miss it. Think about us before, when we were worried about cultivation resources."
Ning Zhuo's face changed immediately, and the memories of the past and the painful emotions whipped him fiercely like a whip.
"Continue! Let's continue!!"
Bai Yu Camp.
Lord Xiang's palms danced, accompanied by bursts of dragon roaring sounds, hitting the Jin Dan deputy commanders and sending them flying one after another.
Shuang Jing fought with tied hands and feet.
Because he was not a body cultivator, specializing in the gas sea, it was difficult to resist Lord Xiang head-on.
This had a great disadvantage in actual combat!
Shuang Jing could only rely on the Bai Hu Sky-Tearing Sword Qi to constantly attack Lord Xiang, and the Jin Dan deputy commanders tried their best to act as meat shields, fighting for time and space for Shuang Jing to move.
The Jin Dan deputy commanders were getting worse and worse, difficult to support.
"What's going on? Military strength has dropped so much!" Shuang Jing felt something was wrong and hurriedly questioned.
The subordinate had long wanted to report, but just didn't have time before.
Seeing Shuang Jing interrupt the attack for a rare inquiry, the subordinate hurriedly clasped his fists: "Report to the commander, the No. 6 armory is empty, the elixirs inside have all been robbed by the stone monster!"
"What?!" Shuang Jing frowned immediately, "Round stone monster? Could it be... the Old Monster in the Stone of Qianfeng Forest?"
He was a commander of an army and a disciple of a high-ranking family, so he naturally mastered detailed enemy intelligence.
The military strength formed by an army comes from many sources. In addition to the soldiers themselves, there are external factors such as military armaments, weather, and geography.
This is why military armaments must be placed outside and stored in the armory.
Putting them in storage equipment will not increase military strength, and if the key point of centralized storage is destroyed, the loss will be even greater.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
There are too many unexpected factors in war, so for the sake of stability, placing military armaments in batches is the best strategy.
Of course, there will also be a batch of military armaments stored in storage treasures.
However, the more magic tools and magic treasures stored, the more high-end they are, and the magic power required to maintain storage increases accordingly.
For an individual cultivator, it is possible to store almost all their family wealth in an excellent storage treasure, with room to spare.
But for an army, there are too many things. It is very difficult to meet the huge needs of logistics just by using storage treasures. Or rather, the cost-effectiveness is very low.
Hearing that the Old Monster in the Stone had also slipped in, Shuang Jing's heart sank to the bottom.
At this moment, they were going all out to deal with Lord Xiang, and they were already stretched thin and on the verge of collapse.
"If the Old Monster in the Stone and Lord Xiang join forces..." Shuang Jing thought of this and took a cold breath.
Then the next moment, he saw a towering Tower of Virtue and Light suddenly disappear.
Subsequently, the stone ball monster that succeeded in stealing quickly drilled into the ground.
Shuang Jing's eyeballs widened at this moment!
He hurriedly scanned the circle and found that of the original seven Towers of Virtue and Light, only four remained now.
When he didn't notice, three Towers of Virtue and Light had been stolen.
Even though Shuang Jing came from a high-ranking family, he felt incomparably distressed at this moment.
Each Tower of Virtue and Light contained top-grade spirit stones and was a magic treasure level, with a market price of 3.6 million mid-grade spirit stones.
Three Towers of Virtue and Light in a row, that was a loss of 10.8 million mid-grade spirit stones.
"This damn Old Monster in the Stone!!!" Shuang Jing wished he could pull the Old Monster in the Stone out and beat him up right now!
Lord Xiang also wished he could pull the Old Monster in the Stone out and beat him up!!
"Old Monster in the Stone, what are you doing secretly?"
"Quickly join forces with me to defeat this Bai Yu Camp!!"
Lord Xiang's spiritual sense was vast, transmitted to Sun and Ning.
Sun and Ning turned a deaf ear, both eyes shining, only staring at the good things in the Bai Yu Camp to take action.
They broke into another armory and saw more than 500 war horses.
White Feather Light Dust!
Horses, slender in body and elegant in posture.
Their hair was as white as snow, covering their whole body, like the most exquisite white jade carving.
What is peculiar is that their horse manes are like bird feathers, slender and soft. Silver-white feathers extend from the horse's head and neck, floating like a waterfall, giving people a feeling of being incomparably light and full of fairy spirit.
Their tails were also replaced by slender white feathers; when the horse's tail hung down, the feathers floated lightly like feathers, shining with ice-like luster.
The military equipment of the Bai Yu Camp was very luxurious!
They all had mounts, but they couldn't be counted as cavalry because they hadn't trained the corresponding battle formation.
This time they were attacked, the Bai Yu Camp was behind the Barbarian Demon Camp and received the alarm in advance.
They dismounted in advance, put the horses that had been exhausted by marching into the horse pen, and then formed a formation on the spot to conduct a defensive battle.
Training their own riding battle formation was the plan of Shuang Jing and others.
Ning Zhuo punched his palm and sighed: "Good horses, all good horses. It's a pity, they are harder to steal than weapons."
Sun Lingtong said: "Little Zhuo, don't regret it, I have a way!"
He took out incense, lit it directly, wrapped up a large group of smoke, and placed it in front of him.
Sun Lingtong urged the theft technique; whenever a White Feather Light Dust horse appeared in the mechanism swimming dragon, it was first covered by the smoke.
The White Feather Light Dust horse was originally restrained and couldn't move, and after quickly inhaling the smoke, it was immediately fainted.
"What a powerful smoke, boss, how do you have this?" Ning Zhuo was quite surprised.
Sun Lingtong said: "It's not mine, I asked Yang Chanyu for it."
Ning Zhuo then realized.
Yang Chanyu also came from the Unoccupied Gate, and compared to Sun Lingtong, she was very good at poison techniques.
After the White Feather Light Dust horses were fainted, Ning Zhuo stacked them one by one and filled the cabins.
Objects with life, unlike dead objects, are not easy to shrink in physique.
Therefore, transformation methods have always had thresholds, requiring cultivators to practice diligently to gradually master them.
The stone ball rolled a few times, stole the horse herd, and turned to the next place.
"Our horses!" The Jin Dan deputy commanders were grief-stricken.
When they bought this horse herd, they paid a huge price, begging their grandfathers and grandmothers, and with the support of the family, they managed to raise them with difficulty.
But now, they are all gone!
"Old Monster in the Stone, I curse you!!"
"I didn't expect you to be such a Nascent Soul, not wanting any face at all!!"
"A dignified Nascent Soul, acting like this, the theft technique is so skilled, you are a shame to Nascent Soul cultivators."
Shuang Jing was calm: "Let him steal, let him rob!"
"If he joined forces with Lord Xiang, we might have collapsed long ago."
"Now, the loss of wealth is indeed heartbreaking, but at least we have stabilized the enemy's second Nascent Soul cultivator."
"Generals, we must fight to the end, first defeat Lord Xiang, then retreat the old monster!"
Shuang Jing transmitted with spiritual sense, boosting morale.
Morale was really boosted a bit by him.
The Jin Dan deputy commanders thought about it along Shuang Jing's line of thought and felt lucky.
"Go take out the military armaments in the storage bags, replenish them, and lure the Old Monster in the Stone to continue stealing, to delay time for us!" Shuang Jing ordered decisively.
Money and life compared, how insignificant it seems!
Without life, what is the use of more money?!
Shuang Jing knew that his move was wise, but the emotions of grief and hatred were still difficult to resolve, accumulating more and more.
Bai Hu Sky-Tearing Sword Qi!
With the boost of military strength, the sharp sword qi caused a wound on Lord Xiang's back again.
The wound was bleeding like a fountain!
Although Lord Xiang had a spirit treasure, it was only a right shoulder armor, and the defense was not comprehensive—the defense at the right shoulder armor was the strongest.
After a long battle, the Bai Yu Camp paid the death and injury of hundreds of people, and also let Shuang Jing figure out Lord Xiang's details.
Lord Xiang retreated a step, intending to open the distance to facilitate healing.
But he was already in the army formation, surrounded by enemies on all sides.
The next moment, the Jin Dan deputy commanders swarmed in, more than a dozen fists and feet added together, hitting Lord Xiang until his posture staggered.
"Old Monster in the Stone, don't steal treasures anymore!"
"Defeat them, I promise you these spoils, five percent are yours!"
Lord Xiang transmitted with spiritual sense, full of threats: "Have you forgotten, you have a divine decree on you!"
In Lord Xiang's view, the Old Monster in the Stone had never exerted his full strength.
But for the two of Sun and Ning, they were more than going all out; when they were exhausted and dying, they also recalled the horror of poverty, using this to whip themselves to break through the limit again.
And for the stone ball, it was even more so.
The stone ball itself could not move, and just rolling continuously had already exceeded its limit.
Therefore, the divine decree for the three of them had already satisfied the terms long ago and was no longer any constraint.
Lord Xiang called out dozens of times without getting a response from the Old Monster in the Stone, and he was furious, shouting to the outside of the formation: "Red Bi Bi Teng Yi, what are you dawdling for? Come and help me quickly!"
The Nascent Soul level cultivator Red Bi Bi Teng Yi of the Ancient Vine tribe, and her husband, the Jin Dan cultivator Cang Vine King, had already participated in the war.
But they and several other Jin Dan cultivators were intercepted by the Red Flower Camp and trapped in the Red Flower dharma image.
The Red Flower dharma image could trap Ma Feitui, and naturally could trap this group of cultivators.
Red Bi Bi Teng Yi was not a demon cultivator, her physique was not strong, and she could not impact with great force.
However, she and the other Jin Dan cultivators assisted, constantly casting spells, and the wear and tear on the dharma image was far greater than Ma Feitui.
Military Tactics—Reward the Three Armies!
Mu Lan's face was pale, holding the General's order, and had been maintaining this military tactic.
The power of the military tactic was simple and straightforward, which was to consume spirit stones and increase military strength!
"If this continues, it's not a way!"
"Our army's military expenditure was already stretched thin, and this battle has caused great loss; if it continues for a while, it will be difficult to pay next month's military pay."
War is like this; once it falls into a stalemate, it is a terrifying consumption of resources.
A decisive light flashed in Mu Lan's eyes.
She took out a long bow and bent the bow and set the arrow within one breath.
Magic treasure level weapon, or called military treasure—Red Phoenix Bow, Fierce Heart Arrow!
Evolved supernatural power with top-grade talent—Red Heart Swan Arrow!
Perfect boost of military strength, battle formation, and national power!
Mu Lan let go.
The bowstring rang, like a phoenix ringing!
An arrow shot out, the long sky vibrated, and the sky cracked.
The arrow light was brilliant, like a giant pillar of flame, shooting straight into the nine heavens, the brilliance like a rainbow, all phenomena lost color!
When Lord Xiang reacted, it was already too late.
He lowered his head and looked at his heart, where the muscles were scorched black, a hole, and the heart was burned out in an instant.
For a time, the whole scene was silent.
Mu Lan lowered her head dejectedly, her hands powerless, the long bow in her hand fell to the ground, her body staggered, almost falling, but fortunately was supported by Zhang Zhongyi in time.
"Niece, no, General Mu... divine power!" Zhang Zhongyi was extremely excited.
He never expected that Mu Lan, only at the Jin Dan level, would develop her own talent into a supernatural power.
Red Heart Swan Arrow!
An arrow of certainty, drawn with almost all heart's blood, regardless of one's own safety!! ===== CHAPTER 461 =====
An arrow that must hit, fired with almost all one's heart's blood, regardless of personal safety!!
