Chapter 194, breaking through the siege and facing Wang Yang
In the small courtyard, the four people ignored the officers and soldiers outside the courtyard and went their own way.
Duan Wutian pulled Chen Tianye and said that he had not seen each other for half a month and missed him so much that it was better to practice. Chen Tianye was not willing to do anything. He said that he wanted to take care of the formation and would not accompany him.
The two have been fighting for decades. In the past, Chen Tianye would win eight out of ten times, but this year, he was beaten by Duan Wutian more than ten times in a row.
Chen Tianye knew that if he couldn't break through to the Golden Core realm like Duan Wutian, he would never be able to beat him again. Unless...unless you use the Five Elements True Qi passed down by your master to awaken the fire attribute Qi seeds given by Qingshi, and achieve the complete Five Elements Qi, in that case, Duan Tu may never think about surpassing him again in this life. .
Qingshi ignored them and asked Xiaopang to connect himself and Xiang An to the egg house. Recently, Qingshi had to enter the egg house from time to time, so he gave the egg house to Chen Tianye for safekeeping.
In the egg house, Qingshi took out the Miyun silk that Duan Wutian and Xiang An had snatched, and laid it out on the wide grass. As expected, there were three hundred pieces. Including the fabrics originally collected from various places, the total was close to four hundred pieces.
Qingshi looked at the confused Xiang An and said with a smile: "Old Xiang, don't you want to know what I want so much Miyun silk for? I'll tell you now..."
Miyun silk is a kind of fabric woven with ebony, a specialty of the island. The ebony fiber is long, slender, and very tough. It is an excellent material for island fishermen to weave fishing nets and fishing ropes.
Miyun silk made of ebony as the main material is light and thin, not afraid of rain, airtight and not easy to burn. It is a dual-use material with wide applications, such as making sails for sea ships and marching tents. The bluestone is to be used to make an airship filled with Qi.
With Xiang An's intelligence, it didn't take much effort for Qingshi to let him understand the principles of the Qi airship. Next, the two began to make according to the bluestone hand-drawn design drawings. For them, this was not too difficult.
The most important thing about the Qi airship designed by Qingshi is the airbag, which is a large cylindrical bag twenty-five feet long and eight feet in diameter, thicker in the middle and slightly smaller at both ends. In fact, this big bag is composed of hundreds of small bags.
The fabric is cut first, and then a thick steel needle is used to pierce the black linen fishing line for sewing. After sewing, the stitches are sealed with isinglass. Then use a cloth strip to smear isinglass, stick it to the needle line from the inside, and seal the stitches again. This creates a huge, airtight air bag.
Then, use long ropes cut and twisted from ebony rope and cloth to weave a large net covering the entire airbag, and then use eighteen large ropes to tie the net cover to a pod. The pod is a converted airship.
Each of these pieces of cloth is eight feet wide and five feet long, so cutting it is not very troublesome. The only thing is the sewing workload is huge. However, although the workload is large, the technology is simple. Qingshi took out a dozen puppets and adjusted them one by one. After a while, they soon became skilled sewing workers.
As for the tasks of weaving the netting, tying the ropes, and gluing and sealing the stitches, it was not too difficult for the two of them to operate with a few other puppets. The puppets neither slacked off nor needed rest when working. Qingshi and Xiang An checked and improved from time to time. In just three days, they completed the production of the Qi airship.
Seeing that it was done, Qingshi was filled with joy and was about to try inflating it, when he received an urgent message from Chen Tianye outside.
Qingshi said to Xiang An, "Check again carefully, and I'll go out and have a look. Is it possible that these barbarians can still break through my magic circle?" After saying this, he suddenly appeared in the small courtyard.
Seeing Qingshi appear, Chen Tianye breathed a sigh of relief, and Duan Wutian shouted: "Qingshi is terrible! These island barbarians are serious about it!"
Qingshi activated the Xuanyuan Armor and flew five feet high. Looking around, he couldn't help but gasp. I saw that the surrounding streets and rooftops were densely packed with leather-armored sergeants. There were thousands of them, completely swarming their small courtyard.
Twenty feet away from the front door, a large wooden platform three feet high and five feet wide was erected, but it was erected in the courtyard of the house opposite. The gate and walls of that house had already been demolished by these soldiers. At this moment, a group of people were playing with two energy cannons on the wooden platform. It looked like they would be set up soon.
The defensive array arranged by Qingshi using the earth-level magic weapon Golden Jian Array Stick is not a battleship defensive array like the Xuanwei. Moreover, this is a big island, and the spiritual energy is relatively abundant, unlike the sea where the spiritual energy is thin. The battleship's defensive array was greatly reduced.
Therefore, no matter how many spears and arrows are thrown, none can be shot.
Secondly, it is impossible for ordinary monks to rely on their own strength to push through the barriers of the defensive array and squeeze in, unless they are at the Immortal Pill level or above.
In the past few days, the troops outside have been attacking day and night, trying to exhaust the energy source of the magic circle. Although this move is relatively stupid, it still has some effect. By this morning, seeing that the energy of the magic circle was about to be exhausted, the magic circle began to become unstable. The sergeants outside became excited when they saw it, shouting and clamoring to intensify the attack.
Chen Tianye didn't care, thinking that it would only take a thousand years for you to use up all our spiritual stones, so he took out the spiritual stones to charge the magic circle. Duan Wutian showed off proudly and took out five dragon balls for Chen Tianye to use, but he wanted to annoy the sergeants.
Sure enough, when the soldiers saw that the thief was actually using dragon balls to maintain the energy of the array, they knew that if they continued to attack like this for ten or eight years, there would be no chance of breaking the array, they immediately became discouraged and stopped attacking.
Duan Wutian was proud of himself, but unexpectedly he was self-defeating. When the leading general saw Longzhu, his eyes suddenly glowed green, and he immediately turned around and ran away. Duan Wutian thought he had retreated in the face of difficulty, but unexpectedly, this guy actually went back to mobilize the energy himself. cannon.
Qingshi saw that these barbarians had obtained energy cannons, and knew that the magic circle could no longer defend themselves. Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian launched their flying armors and came to Qingshi, and asked together: "What should we do?"
"You dare to play with cannons with me?" Qingshi cursed lightly, "If I don't kill you island barbarians, Amano will close his formation and prepare for war!"
After saying that, Qingshi put away all the formation sticks with a wave of his hand. Chen Tianye's formation was set up according to the situation of the courtyard. He did not use the formation magic weapon. He only waved his hand and put all the spirit stones and dragon beads used as energy sources into the storage container. .
These officers and soldiers were waiting to set up cannons at this time and did not attack. Therefore, they did not realize that the magic circle had been collected.
Of course, even if they noticed it, they wouldn't have time to react. Because after Qingshi collected the magic circle, he immediately waved his hand and released the huge Xuanhu.
Seeing a dark battleship more than 40 feet long suddenly appeared in the sky, the officers and soldiers on the ground were immediately stunned. The huge hull of the battleship brought a sense of coercion covering the world, which frightened all these officers and soldiers for a moment. They stared at the behemoth that appeared out of thin air, all stunned and dumbfounded.
The largest airship in the Qisha Sea is only about ten feet long, and its body is slender and its plank is thin. They have never seen such a huge and powerful warship.
Qingshi dodged and flew onto the bow of the ship, aimed the main gun that had been charged with spiritual power at the fort, and immediately fired a shot. With a loud bang, a blue energy cannon column hit the wooden turret, smashing it to pieces.
Amidst the debris and gunpowder smoke flying all over the sky, the surviving soldiers cried for their fathers and mothers and ran away with their heads in their hands. The two energy cannons were also blasted into several pieces. After Qingshi fired one shot, he immediately turned the ship's bow and flew towards the east. While turning around, he fired two more shots from the left side gun, causing the sergeants to flip over and make a mess of porridge.
By the time the shocked sergeants realized what was happening, the Xuanhu had already swept a hundred feet away from the ground.
For the Xuanhu, which is more than forty feet long and nearly eight feet high, flying less than ten feet above the ground is indeed considered a flyby close to the ground. Above the island with thin spiritual energy, this is already the limit of the Xuanhu. Fortunately, with the full power of Qingshi, the speed is not too slow.
Looking at the warship flying away, the leading general came back to his senses and shouted: "No matter how powerful this warship is, it can't fly away from the land. Chase me right away!"
The officers and soldiers quickly organized and chased in the direction where the Xuanhu escaped. In addition to hundreds of infantrymen galloping in formation, hundreds of cavalrymen riding spiritual beasts came from behind, and even seven Eight light airships with guns mounted on them also came from behind.
The Xuanhu flew very fast, and it was not easy for the chasing officers and soldiers to catch up. The two sides always maintained a distance of more than a hundred feet. Soon, they saw the sea in the distance, and all the officers and soldiers gathered their energy and rushed over.
Qingshi piloted the Xuanhu to fly rapidly, and soon saw the Cape of Sighs and the sea. He neither slowed down nor turned, and the Xuanhu flew past the Cape of Sighs and flew straight to the east, instantly entering the sky above the vast sea.
Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian looked at each other, and then looked at Qingshi together, only to see Qingshi's eyes were firm and without fear.
Duan Wutian gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, it's better to be buried in the sea than to die by the swords of these barbarians."
Chen Tianye said: "Duan Tu has no brains. Is Qingshi such a reckless person? I think he probably already has a magic weapon that can cross the ocean. Right Qingshi?"
Qingshi laughed and said: "You two, please be patient, the mountain people have their own clever ideas, hahaha..."
As the Xuanhu flew away from Zhuolang Island, the aura in the air slowly decreased, and the huge battleship began to slowly descend. The officers and soldiers who had chased them to Cape Sighing all laughed happily as they watched the Xuanhu slowly fall towards the sea.
Not long after, the Black Tiger slowly descended to the sea, and it was only twenty miles away from Cape Sigh. The weather has been rare these days and the sea is calm, which is very suitable for sailing.
After landing on the water, the Xuanhu remained in the same direction and sailed towards the east, leaving only a track on the water. The officers and soldiers on the Cape of Sighs watched the Xuanhu go further and further away and gradually disappear into the sky. They couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief.
It should be noted that on the sea, such good weather can only last for seven or eight days at most. No matter how fast a ship is, it cannot sail two thousand miles. By then, strong winds will hit and huge waves will surge into the sky. No matter how big or strong your ship is, it will only be left behind. The fate of being broken into pieces, not to mention that there are fish monsters in the sea.
The leading general sneered and said: "These barbarians from the mainland don't know the power of the sea. They dare to go east because of the size of the ship. This voyage will definitely lead to death."
After the general finished speaking, he immediately withdrew his troops, but left a partial general to station down with dozens of sergeants to prevent these barbarians from escaping back.
