Chapter 648 Every Second Counted!
Tick—tick—
The blood dripped down the corners of his clothes on the stone brick surface. The scout’s face was covered with blood. He looked at the chubby old man blankly. He usually spoke with determination, but now, he choked with sobs,
“It’s over, Chief… It’s over!!”
“What happened?”
The chubby old man got up and shouted in a deep voice, “Calm down. What did you see?!”
It seemed the chubby old man’s calm face cooled the scout off. The scout said in a voice with grief and anger,
“We found a large number of shadows of giant corpses in the black mist. There are no less than twenty… In order to find out the specific number of giant corpses, all the warriors in the scout camp were sent out, and they were all killed. I was the only one left!”
As soon as this remark came out, they fell silent.
The chubby old man was petrified.
Twenty giant corpses?!
He gasped, supported the city wall with one hand and turned his head abruptly. He stared at the depths of the black mist, as if he could hear the familiar and arrogant cry of the corpse demon in the black mist.
One corpse demon could command twenty giant corpses to fight?!
This number was far beyond that of the giant corpses encountered by Li Camp back then. They couldn’t bear such a terrifying number.
“How could it be…?”
The King Warrior in red was also shocked.
It was too hard to survive!
If the strong Ma Camp was destroyed by the corpse demon, their camp would be ruined as well.
Ding Zhang’s face fell, “Twenty giant corpses. Everyone should kill one of them. Are you kidding me?”
“Chief!”
Li Hong soon received the news, and he pulled a long face, “Is the scout’s news true?”
The chubby old man looked at the black mist that was tumbling outside the city wall and sighed, “Let’s announce that it is no longer a disaster we can stop. The ma.s.ses have the right to know that.”
Li Hong was shocked. He clenched his fists with red eyes and gritted his teeth, “Uncle Ma, are you going to give up?”
The chubby old man remained silent. The green jade tripod in his sleeves flew out again, gradually rising. Facing the storm, it turned into a phantom of a big bowl and covered the whole Ma Camp.
The old man in red looked up at the double light curtains, one blue and one black. He was speechless.
With this kind of protection level, it might take a long time for the giant corpses to break through.
The chubby old man turned around and looked at Li Hong and other King Warriors. He said in an old and firm voice.
“It’s impossible for us to give up. But who can guarantee that we can really persist until the Master of the circle arrives? Tell them because I want them to be psychologically prepared. This tripod is the remnant of the treasured. Although I can’t control it, it’s hard enough. Recover your pneuma and blood as soon as possible… Don’t give up!”
All the King Warriors stood up and bowed their heads to the chubby old man.
“Yes!”
Inside the courtyard—
In the dim room, Su Li slowly opened her eyes. Deep understanding appeared in her eyes. She looked up and seemed to see the phantom of the green jade tripod outside through the roof.
“A hint of the pneuma of Tianhe. Could it be the treasure of Tianhe Sect that shattered back then?”
Su Li’s eyes flashed doubts, and the treasure of Tianhe Sect should actually flow into Chimo Circle.
“Fortunately, Ma Camp sent out this object. Otherwise, my breakthrough would not go smoothly…”
At this moment, she finally understood the true meaning of Suiyu Tactics.
Suiyu, Suiyu.
What was needed to practice this method was not nimbus, but a special kind of energy called “jade energy”, which was completely different from nimbus.
If the entire cultivation circle was a group built on the basis of nimbus, then…she had every reason to imagine that there was a place under this starry sky that was based on jade energy for cultivation.
Suiyu Tactics was a practice method in another circle, and its power was beyond doubt! Su Li had seen its essence. As long as she had enough jade energy, she could achieve perfection in a short time, let alone breaking through the third hurdle. It would be so easy for her to master the practice method in a short time.
“Chimo Circle is full of death energy, and black lotus stones are everywhere. There is lifeless and no jade. Although the difficulty of practicing Suiyu Tactics is reduced, I can’t make bricks without straw. Fortunately…”
Su Li looked at the greenish sky with a smile on her calm face.
“The timing is perfect….”
Among Ma Camp which was shrouded in green, no one noticed the green sky above Li Qingling’s courtyard was a bit greener than that of other places.
The news that twenty giant corpses attacked the city quickly spread throughout the entire Ma camp. After the silence, panic and madness instantly permeated every corner of the Ma camp.
Even the warriors couldn’t help feeling desperate at this moment.
To wait here was to die and to go out is to die faster. They had lost the right to choose to be alive or to be dead!
In such chaos, six hours pa.s.sed—
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of familiar deafening sounds rang from the gate of the city. After the hustle and bustle, the mountain city fell silent for a moment, and large crowds flocked to the gate.
Surprisingly, no one was pus.h.i.+ng and shoving, and even warriors needn’t to maintain the order.
“Go! Cheer for King Warriors!”
“The mighty King Warriors are saving our lives. We shouldn’t cause trouble to the Chief and others!”
“Go to the city gate, but don’t say anything! If anyone dares to disturb the thinking of the King Warriors and Chiefs, I won’t forgive him!”
“…”
The power of King Warriors was equivalent to that in the nature’s test. They had keen ears. They were excited when they heard the conversation in the city. They got a shot in the arm.
“Let’s go, bros.”
The King Warrior in red got up, staring at the more than twenty giant corpses that had already appeared and were attacking the tactical matrix. His face was filled with a strong sense of warfare.
“Disturb them. Even if we die, we should hold on until Master of the circle arrives!”
“Fight!”
Li Hong took a step forward, and his eyes glinted with murderous intent, “Remember to retreat when in danger. The Young Lord of my camp has already rushed to the temple in advance, and in five days, Master of the circle will definitely come!”
“Just five days!”
Ding Gang was fearless, “Bros, bring your weapons! Kill them!”
In the next instant, twenty-one figures all turned into afterimages and shot out!
The inhabitants of the city saw this scene with hope in their eyes. Only the chubby old man lost in thought.
Death would be unavoidable.
…
“What, twenty giant corpses?!”
Li Qingling, who had just regained some energy, heard the news from Wu Rong. She stood up suddenly and walked to Su Li’s house. She was about to knock on the door.
But she was restored to reason. She took a deep breath and then sat down on the steps in front of Su Li’s house with a serious face.
She still remembered Su Li’s exhortation that Su Li had only told her before Su Li practiced in isolation.
“Don’t wake me up until the last moment.”
At the last moment…
Li Qingling looked up at the two light curtains which was strong as usual with determined eyes. She took out a pile of materials from the universe ring, and began to depict the rune tactical matrix on the ground. This tactical matrix was taught to her by a wandering warrior. and the last rune tactical matrix was also a rare one that was nearly lost.
Rune Communication Tactical Matrix!
The wandering warrior gave her only one set of materials, and time was limited, but she must succeed!
Only in this way could she guarantee that she could wake up Su Li at the real last moment!
Every second counted!
Li Qingling took a deep breath, “I can! Master…”
—
Puff!
The skin of the giant corpse was glowing in purple, and suddenly its head revolved around its head once. Then it opened its huge mouth. Ding Gang, who was about to attack, changed his face in an instant. He twisted his body and backed away a few inches.
“Ahhh!”
An arm was eaten by the giant corpse. Ding Gang screamed, but he still remained sober and quickly fled into the tactical matrix. The giant corpse opened its mouth and bit on the black light curtain. After shaking a little bit, the light curtain did not move. The giant corpse suddenly raised its head and roared in rage, turning its head and rus.h.i.+ng towards the nearest King Warrior.
When Li Hong saw this, he could only give up helping the weaker King Warrior and turned to fight against this giant corpse.
Ding Gang’s face was pale. He held the shoulder which lost its arm, and jumped onto the city wall. Then he transmitted the sound, “Be careful! This giant corpse is a special one.”
“I see.”
Li Hong lifted his knife to block the giant corpse’s fist and stepped back, transmitting the sound to everyone, “Others should also pay attention to this giant corpse with purple skin. It can rotate its head at will. Don’t be bitten by it.”
As soon as these words came out, two or three King Warriors shouted,
“The one near me is also glowing purple.”
“Me too!”
“Don’t worry. The purple-skinned giant corpse is just a little more flexible. Dodge it! Keep hara.s.sing! Run into the light curtain when you encounter danger!”
The King Warrior in red transmitted the sound to appease everyone, but he was sighing inwardly.
If this continued, they wouldn’t hold on for half a day, let alone six days!
The chubby old man walked to Ding Gang’s side. He sighed, and made a finger gesture with both hands. Blue light appeared out of thin air, pouring into Ding Gang’s b.l.o.o.d.y wound.
Ding Gang suddenly felt that his pain relieved a lot. He was shocked. He raised his head and couldn’t help asking, “Spell? Is this a spell? You are not…”
“It doesn’t matter to which circle I belong now!”
The chubby old man tore off Ding Gang’s clothes and began to wrap his hand up, while saying, “It’s a pity that I’m not good at learning skills. If I had learnt how to use the treasure Tianhe Tripod, you wouldn’t have been so pa.s.sive today.”
Ding Gang was relieved, “You work hard at Ma Camp. We don’t have to inquire so much. I now finally understand that you lived for three thousand years as rumored?!”
The chubby old man smiled, “In Qingshui Cultivation Circle, three thousand years are too little. The death energy in Chimo Circle consumed too much vitality. Otherwise, you can all live much longer than me.”
“I don’t expect it.”
Ding Gang scratched his head with one hand, looking at his fighting companions with blood on their body. He stood up abruptly, “As long as I can survive this test, I am willing to die!”
After saying this, he didn’t wait for the chubby old man to reply. He jumped out of the light curtain to resolve the crisis for the weakest King Warrior. He replaced this warrior to fight against the giant corpse.
