Chapter 504 Fighting
The barbarian Jindan led his men and fought with Ning Zhuo's mechanical army for a while, but realizing the latter's strength, he retreated decisively.
Ning Zhuo and Sun Lingtong controlled the mechanical puppets and took the opportunity to attack. After killing and wounding many barbarian monks, they saw their opponents running down the mountain along the mountainside.
Sun Lingtong sent a telepathic thought: "Do you want to continue chasing?"
Ning Zhuo glanced at the battle group at the foot of the mountain. The people in the Three Generals' Camp were far less numerous than the enemy and were almost surrounded.
His mind raced, and he gritted his teeth, "No! Let's destroy this enemy camp first."
Before, the barbarian Jindan spear-wielding monk was arrogant and took the initiative to lead the team to attack, but was defeated by Ning Zhuo.
The enemy camp was still intact, and there were still some barbarian soldiers who kept shooting arrows in Ning Zhuo's direction.
Ning Zhuo led the mechanical puppets to the gate of the enemy camp and suddenly stopped marching.
The advantage of the mechanical puppet being well-behaved and obedient is fully demonstrated at this moment.
If it were a normal army, with insufficient training and difficulty in abiding by military discipline, there would surely be soldiers who would be so excited that they would turn a deaf ear to the sudden order to stop and continue charging forward.
"Xiaozhuo?" Sun Lingtong was confused.
Ning Zhuo withdrew his gaze from the mechanical ring. Just now, his mechanical ring shrank slightly. Although the degree was very slight, it still gave Ning Zhu a warning.
Ning Zhuo mobilized his mind and spiritual awareness to separate fifty mechanical puppets, separate from the main army, and rush into the enemy camp.
There were a few barbarian soldiers in the enemy camp, all of them were old, weak and sick.
In the last moments of their lives, they behaved very bravely, rushed forward shouting, and then were ruthlessly killed by the mechanical puppets.
But as the barbarian soldiers died, a magic circle appeared in the camp and activated rapidly.
Sun Ning and the other person could not identify the origin of this magic array. They saw that its array patterns and talismans were all of ancient and prehistoric style.
The magic circle was subjected to a blood sacrifice, and bursts of purple-black smoke burst out. The smoke surrounded nearly fifty mechanical puppets.
Ning Zhuo tried to control it and found that the difficulty increased dramatically.
At the same time, the purple-black smoke moved without wind and floated towards Ning Zhuo rapidly!
Ning Zhuo didn't dare to be careless. He decisively withdrew his spiritual sense and no longer used the Buddha Heart Demon Seal to sense the mechanical puppets in the camp.
The purple-black smoke suddenly lost its target and spread in the middle of the road.
In order to be cautious, Ning Zhuo quickly ordered the remaining 300 or so mechanical puppets to retreat.
Purple-black smoke enveloped the entire military camp, and then glanced in Ning Zhuo's direction again.
No matter how Ning Zhuo transferred his troops, the purple-black smoke would quickly adjust and always float towards Ning Zhuo.
Sun Lingtong activated his innate spiritual pupil, observed for a moment, and half-guessed: "It may be a communication between the military forces, Xiaozhu!"
The more than 400 mechanical puppets under Ning Zhuo's command are all registered soldiers of the two countries.
They belong to the Red Flower Camp.
At present, the main force of the Red Flower Camp is on another route, and there is only Ning Zhuo's mechanical army here. Therefore, the purple-black smoke captured Ning Zhuo and kept approaching.
"If that's the case, it's easy to fix!"
Ning Zhuo took a deep breath and clapped his palms in front of his chest, making a crisp sound.
He mobilized all his magical power and the military at the same time, and was about to use his most effective Tree World Descent Technique.
But he changed his mind and immediately switched to a fire spell.
Fire Element——Nine Heavens Fire Dragon Technique!
Born from the ninth heaven, the divine fire is blazing, and the fire dragon burns evil!
Ning Zhuo murmured in a low voice and spoke very quickly.
The next moment, most of his magic power and military strength were consumed, and he turned into a three-headed fire dragon, rushing towards the enemy camp shrouded in purple-black smoke.
The dragon roared, and the flames burned fiercely, quickly spreading throughout the enemy camp! The Nine Heavens Fire Dragon Technique is one of the most classic spells in the fire element, and is well-known in the world of cultivation. The spell simulates the Nine Heavens Divine Fire, condenses into a fire dragon form, and controls and burns the enemy.
The number of fire dragons increases according to the cultivator's level of cultivation.
There is only one fire dragon in the Qi Refining Stage, and two in the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although Ning Zhuo is now at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he has the combat power of a Golden Core, so he condensed three.
One of the reasons why the Nine Heavens Fire Dragon Art is a classic of the Fire Path is that it is universally applicable to the early, middle, and late stages of a cultivator's path.
If you practice successfully, it can often be used for a lifetime!
The power of the fire dragon will also change accordingly with the strength of the cultivator.
The purple-black smoke was burned by the flames, which shot up into the sky and turned into a sea of fire.
The tents, weapons, chariots, etc. in the enemy camp were quickly reduced to ashes in the sea of fire, and even the ground was burned into a red glassy solid.
The entire enemy camp seemed to have become a huge furnace, with raging flames rising into the sky, illuminating the night sky red.
The heat waves rolled in, and the air was distorted, and the mountains, rocks, and trees in the distance were blurred, as if they would melt at any time.
Boom! Suddenly, there was a violent explosion in the enemy camp.
The retreating barbarian spear-wielding Jindan monk had a gloomy face. The double trap he had carefully set up in the military camp had not succeeded.
"Damn it! I happened to run into a mechanical army." Jindan holding the spear was extremely angry.
The Jindan cultivator fixed his eyes on Ning Zhuo, wanting to imprint the image of this enemy deeply in the deepest part of his heart.
At this moment, Ning Zhuo controlled the sea of fire and only let it burn the enemy camp instead of spreading to the mountains and forests and causing harm to the entire Tianzhu Giant Tree Mountain.
He was wearing white clothes and had black hair. He was standing on the mountainside, overlooking the foot of the mountain.
In the reflection of the sea of fire, his shadow was stretched out and projected on the distant mountain wall, like a dark giant spirit.
Seeing Ning Zhuo's graceful demeanor, Jindan, who was holding the spear, was also moved.
He was full of bitterness, thinking: "The other party is just a foundation-building cultivator, while I am a golden elixir cultivator."
"The reason for our defeat in this battle is that the military systems of the two countries are too strong. We have already recruited the local barbarian tribes from various hilltops in advance and put them through hard training."
"But the tribes don't work well together and have too many conflicts. How can they perform like two great nations in battle?"
"However, this mechanical army is a great idea. It also has great practical effects. Qianfenglin should also produce a few of them."
After Ning Zhuo took down the enemy camp on the mountainside, he quickly inspected his own army.
There were originally more than 400 mechanical puppets, but after the battle just now, nearly 100 of them were lost, leaving more than 300.
"I lost at least over 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones." Ning Zhuo assessed his losses.
For an ordinary Jindan-level cultivator, such a loss would be equivalent to his income for half a year.
"I spent more than 200,000 mid-grade spirit stones to gain my current golden elixir combat power."
“That’s actually quite a bargain!”
At this moment, Ning Zhuo suddenly had a new understanding.
The essence of the so-called hundred arts of cultivation is actually to seek cost-effectiveness - to use resources in a more clever way to achieve greater results.
The hundred arts of cultivation are like a lever. The more advanced and mysterious the skills are, the more powerful power can be leveraged with fewer and cheaper resources.
Ning Zhuo glanced at the battlefield.
Sun Lingtong's reconnaissance and Wanli Youlong's reconnaissance both told him that there were no other ambushes around.
Ning Zhuo had an expressionless face as he led the army to the foot of the mountain.
The machine army was like a long river, rushing down.
The spear-wielding Jindan monk led a part of the remaining troops and launched a long-range attack on Ning Zhuo.
With the help of the Light Body and Swift Wind Formation, Ning Zhuo's mechanical army moved lightly and quickly, dodged many attacks, and arrived at the Three Generals' Camp.
The Double Axe Jindan, who was besieging the Three Generals' Camp, was so angry that he started cursing.
The spear-wielding Jindan monk performed poorly and failed to stop Ning Zhuo, allowing him to attack from behind. This resulted in a situation where Ning Zhuo's mechanical army and the three generals' camps attacked him from both inside and outside.
"Come and support!" The double-axe Jindan shouted to the spear-wielding Jindan.
The reason why Jindan, holding the spear, retreated was that he wanted to protect the tribesmen around him.
His tribe is not large in number, and those around him now are the source of the tribe's continuation, which must not be lost.
That's why he issued the order to retreat.
But in the current battle situation, if Ning Zhuo and the three generals were to win by attacking from both inside and outside the camp, that would be something that Spear Wielding Golden Dan did not want to see.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Jindan, holding the spear, gritted his teeth and led his men to rush to the rescue.
The Double Axe Barbarian Jindan shouted to boost morale: "Guys, hold on! Hold on!!"
Shuangfu Jindan was also cheering himself up in his heart: "It's okay, we can hold on. We have the Wasteland Hunting Formation!"
The barbarians are not without mobile formations.
It’s just that these battle formations have a long history and have been passed down to this day.
The wilderness hunting array is a typical example.
This kind of formation was gradually created by the barbarian monks in the wilderness during their daily hunting, with close cooperation between them, after reaching a certain level.
As the name suggests, it is biased towards hunting and attack rather than defense.
Ning Zhuo did not hesitate or stop, and led the mechanical army to charge into the enemy's formation.
After the barbarian battle formation resisted for dozens of breaths, it was difficult to resist and was pushed and crushed by the mechanical army, killing a large number of barbarians, breaking through the front line, and killing their way in! Ning Zhuo's frequent casting of spells was one of the main reasons for the killing.
He doesn't care about the life or death of the mechanical puppets at all. Oh, the life or death of mechanical puppets doesn't matter, but the barbarian monks are different, they are all flesh and blood.
They died under Ning Zhuo's rounds of five elements magic, and their end was miserable.
It was the first time that Ning Zhuo fully experienced the military combat.
This was the first time for him, and the feeling was very new, unique and exciting.
Just now, when he collided with the army of spear-wielding monks, the pressure he felt was like a bowl of thin porridge.
The pressure of fighting with the Double Axe Jindan's subordinates became much greater, but that was it. It was like going from porridge to rice.
Although the opponent formed a battle formation, it was still normal.
"They lack training, their officers and soldiers have complicated backgrounds and old grudges, making it difficult for them to unite. This results in a large number of troops but insufficient military strength."
"On the other hand, our three general battalions are far more well-trained than him, not to mention that our mechanical army has reached the level of strict compliance with orders."
"What's more critical is the gap in national strength."
Ning Zhuo's mechanical army and the three generals' camps of Liu, Guan and Zhang are all backed by national strength.
Qianfenglin has not established a country, so the army only has military strength but no national strength to support it.
It's not that the Shenxu Dragon King is unwilling to establish a country, but it is very difficult to establish a country. Even the God Transformation level doesn't dare to try it easily.
To establish a country, at least three standards must be met: national destiny, national resources and monarch.
Normally, a monarch must have a royal decree. This alone has stopped too many ambitious people.
The barbarian army was in danger, attacked from both inside and outside.
Even if Jindan, holding a spear, led his army to rush to the rescue, it was too late.
Shuangfu Jindan was furious. He abandoned the three generals' camps and turned around to attack Ning Zhuo.
Seeing this, the three generals immediately seized the opportunity and changed their formation urgently! The results of their hard training day and night in the past were fully demonstrated at this moment.
They quickly changed from a triangular arrow formation to an iron barrel formation.
That’s right, during the time of rest and recuperation back in Canglin Fairy City, the three generals’ camps trained frantically, allowing the soldiers to master another battle formation.
Moreover, this battle formation is a classic defensive formation.
Liu, Guan, and Zhang were thus freed. Originally, the triangular arrow formation required the three of them to always occupy the center and the center of the formation.
Now the iron bucket formation only needs one person to be the main formation for a long time.
Zhang Hei and Guan Hong were freed from their restraints and rushed out like a black tiger out of its cage or a red dragon out of its chains.
Of course, there were more than two Jindan in the barbarian army, and there were other Jindan cultivators as well. Seeing Guan and Zhang rushing out, they immediately took action and intercepted them halfway.
Zhang Hei displayed the Black Waves Skill, with his natural wild python tendons inside and the black snake spear outside. The more he fought, the stronger he became, and the more fierce his attacks became.
Guan Hong activated the Red-faced Blood Robbery Sutra, holding the Blood Dragon Sword, and suddenly used a military strategy - going straight in with a single sword!
The blood surged and turned into sword light, directly piercing through the barbarian army.
The barbarian Jindan roared and pounced on Guan Hong.
Guan Hong did not dodge or evade, his long beard moved without wind. His beard was eight feet long and suddenly reflected a bloody light.
Talent—Thousands of whiskers reflecting blood!
The blood light was both offensive and defensive. Under the shining light, it was like a long blood river, surging out and sweeping up a barbarian's golden elixir.
The barbarian's golden elixir screamed in horror, but after a few breaths, it turned into a pool of blood.
A large amount of essence in the blood was immediately absorbed by Guan Hong's blood light.
This is exactly the characteristic of magic skills, using other cultivators as resources for cultivation! Guan Hongsu killed a barbarian Jindan, and Ning Zhuo's five elements magic also injured one.
During this time, Jindan, holding a spear, wanted to launch a surprise attack, but was forced back by Ning Zhuo's gold magic.
The spear-wielding Jindan retreated all the way, his eyelids twitching. This was because Ning Zhuo's ferociousness was really frightening.
All kinds of spells were cast down indiscriminately, killing and injuring many of his own mechanical puppets.
Even Liu Er, a friendly soldier, couldn't help but sigh when he saw Ning Zhuo's fighting method: "He is indeed a descendant of a wealthy family. How many puppets must have been destroyed and how much money must have been lost!"
Liu Er held the Xuanhuang sword and presided over the iron bucket formation, without taking the initiative to attack.
"Die!" The two sides continued to fight fiercely. Zhang Hei suddenly roared, causing his Jindan opponent to fall into a brief dizziness.
Immediately, the Black Snake Spear pierced the enemy's heart. Zhang Hei stretched out his hand and grabbed the Jindan cultivator's head in his palm, then exerted great force and crushed it like a watermelon.
The second Barbarian Jindan monk fell! The Barbarians' battle formation had already collapsed and suffered a backlash. Seeing Zhang Hei and Guan Hong so fierce and brave, their fighting spirit dropped again and again.
Feeling that their own military strength had declined sharply, several barbarian Jindan discussed it and decided to admit defeat and retreat to the mountain.
Ning, Guan and Zhang took the opportunity to attack and killed countless people.
