Chapter 797 Come as You Say

The appearance of the wild beast was quite sudden. Originally, the city wall was very peaceful, but suddenly, a small black spot appeared in the yellow sand.

The small black dot is enlarging at a speed visible to the naked eye, extremely fast.

Immediately afterwards, seven or eight more black dots appeared behind the black dot, chasing the black dot in front.

There was a sudden commotion on the city wall, and then someone shouted loudly, "The scouts are back, prepare to respond!"

The black spot approached the city wall at an extremely fast speed. Only then did Feng Jun realize, "It's actually a sword cultivator?"

It goes without saying that sword cultivators have fighting prowess. The key is that they can also fly with swords, but as scouts... I always feel that the style is a bit wrong.

This sword cultivator was a high-level Qi refiner, and his flying speed was not to mention. Behind him were four black-headed sand swallows and two storm gulls.

Behind them is a huge red flame vulture. This thing is one of the overlords in the desert, a real wild beast.

The sword cultivator flew extremely fast, but the Black-headed Sand Swallow was not slow either. Occasionally it would open its mouth and spit out sand and gravel, which was extremely fast.

Both Sand Swallow and Storm Gull are spiritual beasts. The sand and gravel they emit can cause a certain probability of damage to practitioners in the Qi refining stage. It is especially useful against sword cultivators - although sword cultivators are powerful in combat, they can't resist being brittle. , the defense is too poor.

Fortunately, despite his poor defense, the sword cultivator's movements are extremely flexible. When flying with his sword, he moves left, right, up and down, and can dodge attacks dexterously.

However, if he dodged like this, he would definitely not be able to fly in a straight line, so he was bitten by them.

Seeing the city wall in sight, the sword cultivator suddenly increased his speed. At this moment, the Red Flame Vulture let out a loud cry that shook hundreds of miles.

The accelerating sword cultivator was the first to bear the brunt, his body visibly stagnated, and then he fell to the ground.

Four sand swallows and two storm gulls also chirped, and all sped towards the sword cultivator.

"How dare you, you evil beast!" A roar came from the city wall, and two figures shot out, but they were both cultivators in the worldly stage.

One of the Chuchen Intermediate Steps went straight towards the Red Flame Vulture, raised his hand and pointed, two golden lights flashed, pointing directly at the wild beast.

Another cultivator who was at the beginning of the worldly realm went straight to the sword cultivator who was at the advanced level of Qi Refining.

Unfortunately, these two masters were not sword cultivators, and their speed was a bit slow. In the end, they managed to snatch the sword cultivator back, but the sword cultivator seemed to be seriously injured.

Here, two cultivators in the worldly stage stepped forward to assist the people. The seven spiritual beasts and wild beasts refused to retreat and wanted to confront the two masters.

The two cultivators in the renunciation stage slowly retreated, trying to draw each other closer to the city wall.

But these seven birds were not stupid. They confronted each other and wanted to delay the arrival of their own reinforcements. When they saw that their opponents were not willing to fight, but wanted to lure them closer to the city wall, they gave up the pursuit.

Then, they circled triumphantly outside the city wall, as if they had won a battle.

In fact, although they did not kill the sword cultivator, they also seriously injured the opponent.

The sword cultivator returned from wielding the sword all the way back. He was already exhausted and exhausted. Not to mention that Sha Yan's long-range attack also caused some damage to him.

Not long after, the news brought back by the sword cultivator was spread. This time the wild beasts invaded, there were at least 40,000 to 50,000 wild beasts and spiritual beasts, and they had unified command. They were only more than a hundred miles away from the city wall.

After Ji Ping'an heard the news, he couldn't help but slurp the seeds and said, "Hey, it's another fierce battle."

What Feng Jun was thinking about was another question, "Are there many birds among these wild beasts and spiritual beasts?"

He felt that in a face-to-face fight, cultivators would have a higher winning rate, but if there were too many birds in the opponent's camp, the battle would be difficult - the air force had a huge advantage over the army.

"Birds probably account for about 30%," captain Ji Ping'an replied in a deep voice, "but many birds don't have the ability to attack from a distance, so don't worry too much."

About half a day later, the yellow sand was rolling in the distance, but the coalition of spiritual beasts and wild beasts arrived.

At the front of the line was a large, densely packed yellow-brown ant, more than ten centimeters long.

When Feng Jun saw this, he suddenly took a breath of cold air, "The number of these iron-loving ants alone must be more than four to five million."

Xia Pingan knew that he didn't know much about this, so he answered with a smile, "There are very few spiritual beasts among iron-loving ants. They are just one of a thousand. Generally speaking, one hundred thousand iron-loving ants can be regarded as ten thousand spiritual beasts."

The queen ant of iron-loving ants is just a spiritual beast. One queen ant can command one hundred thousand iron-loving ants, which means that one queen ant is equal to about ten thousand spiritual beasts.

However, these iron-loving ants must not be underestimated. When they were rampant in the desert, except for the birds, the wild beasts on the land could only flee in confusion when they saw them.

In fact, even among birds, only sand swallows, storm gulls or peregrine falcons can restrain them and feed on them. Those birds that fly slower will accidentally encounter iron-loving ants and hatch flying ants. , and will also encounter fierce battles.

Behind the iron-loving ants are a huge group of spiritual beasts, including half-human-sized scorpions, venomous snakes that can fly for a short period of time, extremely powerful gold-breaking blue sheep, and extremely powerful dry fire turtles...

Spiritual beasts such as jackals, tigers and leopards can also be seen everywhere. Feng Jun even discovered seven or eight spirit hedgehogs.

There are relatively few desolate beasts, only about twenty. As for how to identify desolate beasts from a distance? That's very simple. Those who stay there alone are usually wild beasts.

Desolate beasts have hierarchical suppression on spiritual beasts. Generally speaking, few spiritual beasts are willing to stay with desolate beasts.

However, the same race is an exception. A fire turtle is surrounded by nearly a thousand fire turtles of various sizes. This turtle is more than three times larger than the other turtles. It is obviously a desolate beast. Dry Fire Turtle King.

This invasion of the wild beasts was quite organized. They stopped ten miles away from the city wall. They were not in a hurry to attack. Instead, they seemed to be... to restore order?

At dawn the next day, the wild beasts began to attack, but it was not a mindless all-out attack. Instead, they selected twelve points and began to attack fiercely.

At the level of wild beasts, they are somewhat smart. They have fought here more than once or twice. They know that the human cultivators on the opposite side are also divided into twelve teams for management. They choose a point to attack each team without bias. Not leaning.

Previous experience has proven that such an attack is very effective. If every thousand-man team is under attack, they will not actively consider supporting friendly forces - it is easier to support others. What if my place is attacked?

Among these twelve attack points, four are relatively powerful, four are average, and four are slightly less powerful.

On the sections of the city wall where they were not attacking, the spirit beasts also put on an attack stance, with the obvious purpose of containing the human cultivators.

On the first day, there were not many attack locations, but some places were quite brutal. The number of dead cultivators exceeded 70, and the number of injured was as high as 200.

The casualties of 300 people accounted for 3% of the more than 10,000 cultivators. It can be said that the wild beasts came prepared.

The casualties continued to increase on the second day. Although the cultivators learned a lot of lessons, some methods were really difficult to prevent when fighting wild beasts.

For example, some spirit beasts use poison, some spirit beasts can hide, and some spirit beasts... there are too many of them, just like iron-loving ants. When these things swarm, it is difficult for anyone to carry them. People with trypophobia can faint immediately.

On this day, sporadic battles also broke out in some non-main fighting areas, because the areas that were hit by key attacks suffered heavy casualties, while the cultivators in other areas were basically in a state of soy sauce. This kind of inequality It's easy to cause trouble.

The spirit beasts have to beware of idlers to support them, and occasionally launch some sneak attacks. The idle cultivators, seeing the spirit beasts preparing to attack in the distance, can't help but launch some long-range attacks.

The two sides were originally trying to fight, but they couldn't control themselves. So the next day, there were as many as 17 places where the fighting was fierce. The number of cultivators died exceeded 80, and the number of injured was as many as 300. people.

Adding up to two days, the death toll was close to 160, and the casualties were close to 700.

The earthly world's statement that the morale of the army will collapse if the number of casualties exceeds 30% does not apply to the immortal world - the army will collapse if the casualties exceed 30%. That is because the army does not know why it is fighting.

Whether they are fighting for honor, fighting for faith, or even fighting for spoils - as long as the distribution is relatively fair, there are many armies that will fight to the death with more than 50% casualties.

For cultivators pursuing self-breakthrough, sixty-seven percent casualties are really nothing. However, if they only fought for two days and suffered such huge battle losses, then if the battle lasts for twenty days, wouldn’t the battle losses be huge? Up to sixty or seventy percent?

It’s hard to say how long the spiritual beast invasion can last, but it’s roughly half a month to two months.

The longest invasion lasted was one year.

However, something happened within the world of immortality at that time. There were not many cultivators responsible for defense, the reinforcements were not in place, and the material losses were not well replenished. The wild beasts thought they had an opportunity and attacked desperately, so the battle dragged on. More than a year.

The shortest period was only six days, but there was still nothing to learn from. At that time, Nascent Soul Immortal passed by and felt that the desolate beasts here were a bit arrogant. When the pressure was released, the desolate beasts retreated crawling on the ground. .

Now the number of wild beasts outside the city wall has increased a lot, almost reaching 80,000. In order to find out this news, three more scouts died outside the city wall.

So the defenders discussed it and formulated a counterattack plan - just being beaten is not enough.

So starting from the third day, an elite team began to protrude from the city wall and kill directly into the hinterland of the spirit beasts.

This kind of operation is quite dangerous. If you rush too far, there will be no deterrence, but it will be easily regarded as a provocation by wild beasts. But if you rush too far, the city wall may not be able to respond - take a look at the sword cultivator who responded You will know the process.

Such a team of cultivators is called the vanguard team, and it is composed of cultivators who have made mistakes.

Because of this decision, the number of deaths of cultivators on the third day increased greatly, reaching more than 120 people.

Among them, more than 60 cultivators died in the vanguard team. You must know that the total number of cultivators in the vanguard team that attacked was only 200.

However, during these three days, there was almost no damage to the protruding part where Feng Jun and the five men were. ()
