Chapter 29 Weird Battle
The herd and the caravan were only about two miles apart. Even the monsters who lead the battle are rough-skinned and thick-skinned, and they are not good at speed, but after all, they all have cultivation bases in them.
Motivating the spiritual force to run wildly, with such a short distance, you can rush to the range of the spiritual crossbow within 20 breaths.
The caravan monks all held spirit crossbows, aiming at the rushing beasts, ready to go. More than ten breaths passed, and the herd was only a hundred meters away from the car formation.
The gray-robed monk shouted, "Let it go!"
More than eighty cultivators simultaneously activated the spirit crossbow. The spirit stone placed on the spirit crossbow flashed, and a spirit arrow shot out.
More than 80 arrows of spiritual energy have been shot into hundreds of monsters, which is really not enough to see. What's more, these monsters are rough-skinned and thick-skinned.
The first wave of salvos only brought down five or six monsters, and all of them were only injured, and no monsters died.
However, these spirit crossbows can be fired in bursts. After the first wave of arrow rain, half a breath of time, the second wave of arrow rain fell again. This time, the monster was not in a hurry to dodge, and more injuries were suffered, but still no monster died.
The third wave, the fourth wave, as the distance between the two sides gets closer, the power of the arrow rain is also getting bigger and bigger.
The fifth wave of arrows fell, more than 20 monsters fell down, and a black bear happened to be hit in the eye by an arrow. The spiritual arrow went down the eye socket and plunged into the back of its head, and the black bear died on the spot.
In the sixth wave of arrow rain, more than 30 monsters fell and five died.
At this time, some monsters who had understood the innate spells also began to fight back with spells, but when their spells hit the car array, they could hear a sound, and they didn't have any effect at all.
And using spells will slow down the speed of the charge, which is really not cost-effective. The monsters stopped their magic attacks and rushed forward.
Another three waves of arrow rain passed, and more than 100 monsters fell on the battlefield, of which more than 30 died. The more than 300 monsters that can continue to charge are also injured.
This group of monster beasts in the front line has no intention of fighting, and they all hugged their heads and ran away.
The tenth wave of arrows rained down, because the monsters ran in a disorderly manner, only knocking down more than fifty heads.
After the tenth wave of arrow rain, the spiritual power of the spiritual stone on the crossbow was exhausted, and a new spiritual stone needed to be replaced. It takes three breaths to replace the spirit stone and reactivate the spirit crossbow.
The monster made full use of this short period of time, ran out of the killing range of the spirit crossbow at a faster speed than when charging, and also rescued some of the injured and fell to the ground.
After the caravan monk replaced the spirit stone, he continued to shoot arrows to kill the monster that was seriously injured and fell to the ground. After the three waves of arrow rain, all the monsters that were seriously injured and fell to the ground were all dealt with.
Of the five or six hundred monsters, less than half of them could go back.
Four second-order monsters were furious, and they sent more than 300 leopards, wolves, etc., monsters known for their speed.
This attack learned the lessons of the previous failure. Instead of rushing up, it spread out and attacked from multiple directions.
As a result, the spirit crossbows of the caravan monks could no longer fire in salvos, and could only be spread out to deal with different enemies.
Although this group of monsters are nimble and unable to fire salvos with spiritual crossbows, very few monsters were shot, but they lacked scales and tough fur.
As soon as the monsters entered the range of the spirit crossbow, casualties began to appear, but only a few monsters lost their combat effectiveness.
Can not salvo, seriously weakened the lethality of the crossbow. After ten breaths, the monster rushed to the front of the car formation, with a loss of less than one hundred.
The monster with agile speed easily jumped over the carriages on the periphery and entered the group of monks.
All the monsters roared excitedly. There were more than 200 monsters rushing into the car formation, and there were only about 80 monks in the caravan.
The space in the car array is small, and there is no room to dodge and move, so you can only rely on hand-to-hand combat.
The physical body of the monster is far more powerful than the human monks of the same rank, and the number has an absolute advantage. Under normal circumstances, it does not take a quarter of an hour, and the human monks will be wiped out.
The family cultivator who was ambushing near the small hill couldn't sit still, and Wang Daoxing even prepared to shout and rush out to help.
However, Jiang was still old and hot, Wang Shouye was already prepared, and he held him down. There was a huge gap between the two's cultivation base and actual combat ability, and Wang Daoxing couldn't even move.
Wang Daoyuan also immediately covered his mouth to prevent him from shouting.
Yang Zhiyuan saw that everyone had changed, and once again said, "Those who move rashly will die!"
At this time, in the car formation in the valley, a burst of sound and spells collided one after another; colorful flashes continued one after another.
The dust and smoke covered the sky, and everyone outside the car array could not see the situation inside the array at all. The base-building cultivators in the air also kept attacking the monsters, but unfortunately they had little success.
A quarter of an hour passed, and the battle continued, but monsters kept running away from the formation.
Another half quarter of an hour passed, the battle was basically over, the dust and smoke dissipated, and everyone finally saw the battle situation.
In the small car formation, the corpses of monsters covered the ground, and at a glance, there must be more than a hundred of them.
The caravan was not feeling well either. Thirty of the more than eighty cultivators were killed and twenty were injured, ten of whom were seriously injured and had no strength to fight again.
Whether it was the monsters or the people in ambush, none of them expected this result.
Wang Daoyuan understood a little, the ground near the car formation was covered with scraps of paper. From his professional perspective, these should all be broken talismans. Some cultivators are still wearing golden armor talismans, and they have golden armor phantoms on their bodies.
It is conservatively estimated that in the battle just now, more than 5,000 spirit talismans were consumed. On average, each cultivator used more than sixty charms.
More than sixty charms were nothing to Wang Daoyuan. But he is a talisman master, and it is normal to have many talismans on his body. The monks who can't make talismans generally don't have more than 20 talismans on their bodies.
First there was a spirit crossbow, then thousands of spirit talismans, and a specially reinforced and indestructible carriage. The configuration of this caravan was too luxurious.
Wang Daoyuan is a little strange, and the battle in front of him is full of strangeness:
This caravan in the valley is obviously a bait to attract monsters. The role of the bait is just to fish, the fish is hooked, and the bait has no value.
Why did the Nether Sect spend such a high price to arm this bait? The Nether Sect is an evil sect, not a shantang, so it is impossible to spend such a huge price to protect the bait that has no use value.
In addition, the behavior of these monsters is extremely strange. First, the monsters used the black gust to hide their spells and increase the killing distance of the spells; then they dispatched rough-skinned monsters to launch a tentative attack; after the trial failed, they accurately judged the shortcomings of the spirit crossbow salvo, changed their tactics, and successfully attacked The battle turned into a melee.
This series of operations completely exceeded the intelligence level of monsters, and even reached the level of an excellent human commander.
The monsters above the second rank have innate spells, or strengthen the body, or long-range attacks, and so on. But this black gust of wind is so powerful and far away that it can increase the killing distance of spells. It is definitely not something that ordinary monsters can have.
