Chapter 81: Attacking the Island
Leshan Castle is a steel city built on Leshan Island.
The huge walls are built around the island, about 40 meters high, and are made of steel and rock. There are arrow towers and horse races on the city wall, and under the city wall are large areas of rubble. They are densely packed on the beach, like an inverted tribulus terrestris.
Around the city wall, there are many defensive facilities such as women's walls, gate walls, and interior walls. From a historical point of view, such a majestic city is worthy of the name of an important town in the world.
Although for the Immortal Family, all the Iron Heroes are only the ultimate mortals, and only the magic circle is the real high-level defense, it is undeniable that this "primitive" defense method can still play a huge role when equipped with the right weapons.
Today, Leshan Island is surrounded by flames and seawater.
Hundreds of Krakens were attacking the city from all sides, and the sky was filled with the shadows of arrows and spells.
To the west of Leshan City, this is the gentlest side of the city. The beach stretches from the sea to the bottom of the city walls, and at the highest point of high tide, the water can approach the walls to within thirty meters.
As the most unfavorable terrain, this is also the most heavily attacked.
At least hundreds of Krakens are attacking the city from the beach.
That doesn't sound like a lot, but when they come together, the power they display is more terrifying than the thousands of troops.
A huge octopus is entrenched in the middle of the sea and the city, and its huge wrists and feet are like steel cables flying in the air, constantly flying towards the city, and occasionally rolling up a person, in that long scream of terror, / Grab the other party, first put it in front of the eyes, and then throw it into the mouth, and the scream gradually disappears in the big mouth.
A huge turtle lay on a corner of the wall, using its huge head as a battering ram, striking the wall again and again, its hard carapace blocking most of the attacks from above, allowing it to carry out the promising work of demolition in an orderly manner.
From time to time, a giant shrimp of the deep sea shoots arrows towards the city. These water arrows seem ordinary, but when they fall on people, they are like high-pressure water guns, and they can shatter people's internal organs with a single blow.
A huge crimson crab that has been boiled in boiling water wields a pair of large pincers and smashes a boulder into pieces with a single blow.
In the center of the battlefield, the big octopus is still wantonly murdering.
In just a moment's effort, this octopus had already captured three Leshan Island guards.
Strike!
A silver crossbow arrow shot out from a bed crossbow on the city wall, flew towards the giant chapter with silver brilliance and sharp roar, and stabbed into the giant chapter with a soft sound, leaving a large hole in the giant chapter's body.
"Shhh
Just as it was about to launch a further attack, two figures flew through the sky, rushing towards the giant chapter and the old turtle that was destroying the city walls.
The sword light that hit the old turtle arrived first, and slashed at the old turtle's neck, but he didn't expect the old turtle to be well-behaved, and he didn't dare to stretch his head again. The figure only stopped for a moment, and countless spells hit him, forcing the man to retreat to the city wall, and secretly hated the old turtle for being cunning, missing a chance to kill, and only found that it was a woman in red when he fell back to the city wall.
At the same time, another figure flew in from the wound of the huge octopus, and the next moment the giant chapter first froze, and then exploded into countless pieces of flesh and blood.
There was a cheer from the top of the city, and the figure had flown out of the rotten flesh, and when it returned to the city, it was a young man with a sword eyebrow.
There were also several young men and women standing beside him, all dressed as cultivators.
"Young Master Shenwei!" Several servants who looked at the clothes were obviously different from the fishermen on the island, but the servants of the Yun family.
The young man's face turned pale suddenly, his body was crooked, and he held on to the city wall to keep himself from falling, and he said in a dry tone: "Why can't these damn krakens be killed?"
After so many days of hard fighting, this young man gradually lost his strength.
The defense of Leshan City originally relied on the cooperation of spirit masters and mortals to exert itself. Mortals relied on the walls to conceal themselves, using specially made bows and crossbows to weaken the Kraken and create weaknesses, while the spirits delivered a fatal blow and used the walls to restore themselves.
For many years, the Yun family has used guò to resist the invasion of the kraken.
But this time, things are no longer the same.
The loss of the spirit master's severity caused the Yun family to lose its most important backbone strength, and the kraken's love for it made this battle unprecedentedly miserable.
Now that the Kraken has been attacking the city for many days, there are nearly 1,000 Krakens killed on Leshan Island alone, but they just can't kill them all, they still come from all directions, and there is no intention of stopping at all.
The spirit master of the Yun family, including the young master of the Yun family and the friends he invited to help in the war, can be said to have worked hard to protect Leshan Island, but even so, the situation has not improved in the slightest.
A huge sea snake is replacing the previous octopus in the center of the battlefield, the super long body is erected, the height of tens of meters makes it completely parallel to the city, a pair of copper bells staring at the city head, Rao is city head soldiers have already been baptized by this shemale battle countless times, and they are still scared.
As soon as one of the soldiers took a step back, the sea serpent poked its head out and bit the soldier in its mouth, and several of the arrows fell on it, only the painless white marks were scratched, but the special crossbow arrows from the ballista pierced its carapace, but could not pierce deeper, and hung out of the body like a needle.
Enraged, the serpent probed its head again, and with a single blow smashed the ballista to pieces, before retracting and coiling in front of the city gate, chewing on the humans from before.
But that's not the scariest part.
In the sea water 500 meters away from the beach, a super long giant snake with a length of more than 300 meters is coiling on the sea, setting off an astonishing momentum.
The distance of more than 500 meters seems to be a long distance, but for this giant snake, it is only a distance of a pounce.
The most amazing thing is that this snake has no face, and the triangular head is empty, only a hole is cracked in the blank face, which is considered a mouth, and it looks extremely weird.
The overlord of this sea, the faceless Jiao!
――――――――――
The boat gradually approached the island.
Tang Zheng looked at the battle on the island, his mood was not wavering, he just lowered his head and thought about something.
After a while, he said, "The Ten Thousand Beasts Garden's promotion effect on demon beasts, isn't it fast?"
"What?" The rabbit demon next to him paused for a moment, first looked left and right, and then realized that Tang Zheng was asking himself, and hurriedly replied: "Oh, this is not easy to say, some are fast, some are slow." ”
"What do you mean?"
The rabbit demon scratched his head in annoyance: "I haven't been in either, but I've heard Chang Mingxin say that there are two main ways to improve the demon beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden." One is the demonic aura that pervades there, which can slowly increase the strength of demon beasts. One is the treasure that is produced there. ”
"Treasures, there are other treasures in the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts?"
The rabbit demon nodded: "It should be said that it is self-generated in the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, but it needs to have a monster or essence to die in it, and its spirit will not be extinguished and turned into a treasure of heaven and earth, which is only effective for demons or essences." That's what really improves the strength of demon beasts, generally speaking, put the demon beasts in the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden, even if they don't come out for a lifetime, it's just a fifty percent increase in strength, but if you get a treasure to eat, there is no limit to the strength you can improve, anyway, the more you get, the stronger your strength will be. Therefore, putting the demon beast into the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden also depends on the opportunity. However, this kind of opportunity is rare, and it requires the death of a large number of demon beasts. Even the Beast Refining Sect was reluctant to make such a huge investment. ”
"I see. Tang Zheng looked at the battle on the sea stall: "Then what do you think the death of these krakens will bring to the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden?"
"Huh?" the rabbit demon paused, "Do you think someone is driving these krakens to die in order to add genius treasures to the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden?"
Tang Zheng said lightly: "I don't know, but I know that most of the previous Kraken attacks on the island are the process of the Kraken relying on their strength to ask for resources from the land, which is a process of plundering, and it is also a process of reducing the population of the Demon Clan through wars, avoiding insufficient resources, and rebalancing the quantity, so most of the Kraken's invasions are not long." But this time, a month has passed since the time when the old man told me, and the attack on the island is still continuing. Such a long attack...... This doesn't make sense. ”
"Then what do you mean......" The rabbit demon obviously didn't understand the mystery of this.
"The Garden of Beasts may be on the island. It enhances the strength of the surrounding monsters, turning mortal objects into demons, allowing monsters to advance to the next level, and at the same time attracting them to move closer to itself, and in the process of continuous death and injury, it further prospers the Ten Thousand Beasts Park...... Kill three birds with one stone, good tricks. ”
The rabbit demon's eyes were about to pop out: "Could it be that the loss of the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden was deliberately caused?"
Tang Zheng asked rhetorically: "Could it be that you still don't understand this?"
He ignored the rabbit demon and said, "To confirm the suspicion, we will finally have to go to the island to have a look." ”
He was about to set up the boat when he suddenly noticed something, and his eyes narrowed, and he looked into the distance of the sky.
The light in the center of the eyebrows is fleeting.
Tang Zheng snorted, suddenly reached out and grabbed the rabbit, stuffed it into the beast refining card, and lowered his head at the same time, and when he looked up again, the person had changed into a yellow-faced middle-aged man.
Standing on the boat, Tang Zheng waved his sleeves, and the boat was already rushing towards Leshan Island.
When he was less than five miles away from the island, he saw a figure suddenly fly out of the city tower in the distance, but it was a purple-faced monk with long hair.
The man flew straight towards Tang Zheng, and at the same time shouted in his mouth: "I don't know which way the master is coming?"
Tang Zheng replied loudly: "Qiu Zheng of the Lower Eight Extremes Sect, passing by here, I don't know what happened to Zun stopping me?"
When the man heard this, his face was visibly disappointed.
The Eight Extremes Sect is a third-rate small sect in the Yahai Realm, and its head is the peak of the Extraordinary Sect, and it may not be as good as the Yun family in terms of strength.
Most of the disciples from such a sect have limited strength.
However, he still forced a smile and said: "In Xia Shen Ningming, I have seen Brother Qiu." Senior Brother Qiu must have also seen it, and now that the Kraken is attacking the island, Ning Ming is not talented, and he wants to ask Senior Brother for a hand. ”
Tang Zheng looked at the scene of shouting and killing on the island, and said unhurriedly: "Isn't Leshan Island from the Yun family? How can with the strength of the Yun family, it can't stop the mere krakens? I think most of those krakens are very ordinary." ”
Shen Ningming's face turned red and said, "Brother Qiu doesn't know ......?"
Only then did he roughly explain the tragic incident that the Yun family had encountered before, and then said: "This Kraken attack lasted for a long time, and it is rare for a thousand years. However, many of the most powerful Krakens have been killed by us, and some have escaped back to the bottom of the sea after being wounded. Now my Yun family and the kraken are both at the end of the crossbow, but I don't know why, those krakens have never been in love. If Brother Qiu is willing to make a move, he will definitely be able to attack it in one fell swoop, and then my Yun family will give it a generous gift!"
The meaning of his words is already very clear, it is nothing more than that my Yun family and the Kraken have already lost both sides, so now I will ask you to pick up a bargain. As long as the Kraken is repulsed, it will be a pattern of fame and fortune.
If this is said to others, it is probably really useful.
It's just that Tang Zheng can't see it?
The old idea that the Krakens would retreat as long as they were injured to a certain extent no longer worked here, and as long as the demons were not dead, they would keep attacking, because there were probably treasures on the island that they coveted, and they were treasures that could help them advance to greater power.
For this reason alone, they will not retreat even if they die in battle.
And the radiation ability of the Ten Thousand Beasts Park makes the sea area constantly produce some new demon beasts, and the speed at which they appear is far faster than what the rabbit demon said, it is very likely that the town seal monument is not there.
That is, unless the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts leaves, it is destined to become a place of endless killing.
However, for Tang Zheng, this kind of intense attack is quite in line with his needs - fighting monsters is the way to make a fortune.
Hearing Shen Ningming say this at this moment, Tang Zheng smiled and said, "Since Brother Shen is warmly invited, I might as well be respectful." ”
Saying that, he abandoned the boat and flew towards Leshan City with Shen Ningming.
While flying, Shen Ningming introduced the current battle situation on Leshan Island to Tang Zheng.
The entire Leshan City is currently the most dangerous to the west, and Yun Danqi, the young master of the Yun family, is personally commanding here. This person is a disciple of the Tianya Sea Pavilion, and after the Yun family was in trouble, he invited several colleagues to help him in his private capacity and spent a lot of money.
In order to fight against the Kraken, the Yun family can be said to have done their best to invite spirit masters, and it is precisely because of this that they have made up for the vacancy of the Yun family's spirit masters, so that Leshan Island can support until now. However, because this time the Kraken's attack was surprisingly long, even they gradually couldn't resist it.
When Tang Zheng came here, an iron-blooded battle was being staged on the city tower.
"Barracuda, watch out for barracudas!" a school of silver barracuda flew through the sky in a huge and terrible howl, piercing the body of a soldier like a sharp arrow, and the blood-stained silver scales glittered in the sunlight.
These barracudas have always been the source of wealth for the Yun family, but now they have become the fatal wound of the Yun family.
They flew freely in the sky, each impact like a sharp blade unsheathed, like an arrow with eyes, sharp, powerful, and free to change direction in the air, invincible.
A cultivator was caught off guard, and was swept through by more than a dozen barracudas, and a stream of blood immediately shot out from his body. The cultivator fell on his back, only trembling a few times, and finally didn't say anything, just closed his eyes and went away.
"Master!" the young master of the Yun family cried out in pain.
Looking at his expression, it can be seen that the cultivator should be the Yun family's own spirit master, who has fought hard so far, but he still failed to save his life after all.
He was crying out to himself in pain, when a streamer suddenly flew in the sky, but it was a black sharp thorn, which went straight to the back of the Yundan Banner.
"Be careful!" shouted in unison from all the people of the Heavenly End Pavilion of the Heavenly End of the Sea, and the woman in red was even more anxious, but she was still a step too late.
Seeing that this blow was about to hit the back of the Yundan Banner, a hand in the oblique thorn suddenly stretched out, pinching the black thorn, the long thorn was like an arrow, and it still trembled spontaneously in his hand.
This scene saw that the disciples of the Tianya Pavilion were also stunned, and they who had been fighting with the Kraken for a long time already knew what it was, and they knew even more about its power, but they didn't expect that someone would catch it at once.
Looking at the hand, the other party was obviously a raw face, a ginger face, and at this moment he was grabbing the long black thorn and sniffing it, and said to himself: "What is this? Arrowtail fish? Or porcupine? There shouldn't be a porcupine here." ”
"It's a sea urchin!" replied the woman in red from earlier.
Tang Zheng was slightly stunned and looked at the woman in red.
Yun Danqi has already bowed his hand and said: "Thank you Mr. for saving me, I don't know if Mr. is ......"
Shen Ningming next to him had already said: "This is Senior Brother Qiu Zheng of the Eight Extremes Sect, passing through Leshan Island, seeing righteousness and courage, and helping out." ”
That's when everyone understood.
But when I knew that he was the only one, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
The power of this one person alone cannot change the overall situation.
While he was talking, there was a sudden whistling, and there was a lot of shouting from the castle tower.
A loud voice suddenly sounded: "The Faceless Jiao is here again!"
Huo Ran looked back, and saw the behemoth on the sea in the distance, the faceless Jiao had erected a long body, standing on the sea like an optimus pillar, and then the Jiaotou poked out violently and crashed into the direction of the city tower, just like the pillar of the sky, surging and unstoppable!
