205. Reinvigorate the flag and break the formation.
Xiang An soon appeared in the boat. As soon as Duan Wutian saw Xiang An, he shouted: "Isn't your little one seriously injured? How did you recover so quickly? Not to mention the injury, there are also Time to dress up!”
Xiang An did seem to be in good spirits, his injuries were obviously much better, and he was dressed new from head to toe, so he had naturally taken a shower and changed clothes. In contrast, although Qingshi and the other three people washed themselves in the heavy rain before entering the boat last night, their heads and faces were clean, but there were still a lot of mud stains on their clothes. As for their mud-stained shoes, they were thrown away at the end. The corners haven't had time to be scrubbed.
"Hey!" Xiang An said, "Can't I recover quickly?" After saying that, he sat down cross-legged.
The Xiang family is the head of the four major families in Tianlong Continent. In addition to being the best in the world in formation skills, his martial arts background is no less than any other family. It is not unusual for his family's secret healing skills to be outstanding, and Qingshi knows that he can recover. Kuai should also be credited with Xiaopang’s essence and blood.
"Okay," Qingshi said, "Let's talk about that mysterious cannon. Has Xiang An seen it?"
"No," Xiang An said, "It's really weird that there is such a powerful killer weapon on this island."
"Why is it weird?" Duan Wutian asked.
"Like Qingshi, I believe that there are almost no magic formations overseas," Xiang An said. "We didn't find any traces of magic formations on the island before. We didn't expect that such a superb magic formation and massacre were hidden here. Device, isn’t this weird enough?”
"Why is it related to the magic circle?" Duan Wutian said, "Isn't it a cannon?"
"Let's not talk about the cannon first," Xiang An said. "After all, this cannon is only part of the defensive formation. This formation protecting the cannon is no small matter. Qingshi should look familiar."
"That's right," Qingshi said, "The base that houses the cannon is a magic circle. No one on the mainland can set up such a sophisticated magic circle. I have only seen the immortals from thousands of years ago. A magic circle set up can be compared to it."
"Not bad!" Xiang An said, "Only the trial path of the Immortal Sword Sect is so exquisite."
Qingshi and Xiang An both discovered that the circular magic array plate at the base of the cannon was very similar to the golden cloud plate and golden water plate on the Immortal Sword Sect's trial road. According to Qingshi's estimation, this island has been uninhabited for at least a thousand years, and is in an environment where sea winds are raging all year round. If it were not for the protective function of the magic array, all the cannons would be rusty and rotten, and how could they defend so accurately.
Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye had never seen the trial road, so Qingshi briefly explained to them so that they could understand the greatness of this defensive array and array cannon.
Duan Wutian didn't know how to do the formation, and he was confused after listening to it for a long time.
Chen Tianye's formation level was obviously not as good as Qingshi's and Xiang An's, but after Qingshi's explanation, he understood a bit.
"So this array is indeed brilliant," Chen Tianye thought thoughtfully and said, "You said that the golden cloud disk and golden water disk are always taken care of, but this formation disk has not been taken care of for a long time and yet it is still functioning normally. It is really remarkable. .”
"I don't think so," Duan Wutian said. "It is certain that the artillery and the array have not been taken care of for a long time. Otherwise, someone would come to check after we were shot down. But it is not necessarily true that it can still operate normally. Qingshi and I tried it twice before, but it didn't trigger any bombardment, which shows that it works sometimes and doesn't work, and it's probably damaged."
"Bah!" Xiang An sneered, "Ignorance!"
"Brother Qi made a mistake," Qingshi said with a smile. "Our previous two tests did not trigger artillery fire. This reflects the brilliance of this defensive array! This shows that it has an extremely advanced identification system that can identify people. breath."
"It can still recognize people?" Duan Wutian suddenly realized, "The branches and flying guns are dead objects, so they will not trigger the defensive formation. We are living people, so it fires!"
"That's right!" Xiang An said, "At last he's not too stupid!"
"Of course!" Duan Wutian deliberately ignored Xiang An's sarcasm and was actually a little proud. Xiang An was also speechless.
"This defensive formation is so powerful, what should we do?" Chen Tianye frowned.
"If you really can't, don't go in," Xiang An said. "If the spherical airship made of bluestone wasn't extremely defensive, we would all be dead. I don't want to get shot again."
"Coward!" Duan Wutian scolded, "Qingshi asked him to go back to the egg house. Let's go in and explore. With such a powerful array guarding us, the treasure inside must have gone to the sea. Don't give it to him if we get the treasure. "
"I mean give up when there is really no other way!" Xiang An said, "If you want to retreat, then retreat together, and if you want to advance, advance together! Who is afraid?"
"I'm afraid!" Chen Tianye laughed, "I'm afraid that I won't get the baby!"
Several people laughed.
"We can't suffer this cannon in vain!" Qingshi said, "In my opinion, the cannon alone is a priceless treasure. The same goes for the formation disk. When I was in the Immortal Sword Sect, I wanted to dismantle the golden cloud disk for research, but I was too embarrassed to do it. . This time we must get this magic array disk."
"Okay!" Xiang An also figured it out and said with bright eyes, "Let's find a way."
"Yes," Qingshi said, "No matter how powerful this cannon is, there is no one to control it now. I don't believe there is nothing we can do."
"You like formations and cannons," Duan Wutian said, "but I like other treasures. I think no matter what secrets there are, good treasures are indispensable! I must go in!"
"Of course!" Chen Tianye said, "We must get the baby!"
It is a good thing to have unified thinking, but several people feel that they have no idea how to break through the level. The array of cannons is too powerful. It is obviously impossible to enter from the air, and to enter from the ground, you need to face Hai Lingbiao. Qingshi, who is full of clever tricks, and Xiang An, who is full of cunning ideas, are also at a loss.
The weather was very good, and the moisture in the forest quickly dissipated under the sunlight. Qingshi and others had been worried that the bone-spurred demon wolves and ghost bats would come to search and attack them when the weather improved, but until The sun was about to set, and no demon wolf or ghost bat was seen coming. It seemed that they would not cross the defense line of their lair and go deeper.
Soon night fell, but the moon and stars were sparse on this day. After the semicircular bright moon rose, the forest was filled with mottled clear light, and the sparkling river looked particularly bright. Qingshi and Chen Tianye had already bathed, changed clothes, and washed themselves. They were sitting on the edge of the boat, watching the forest under the moonlight, drinking. Xiang An had already returned to the egg house, but Duan Wutian climbed up another big tree to practice martial arts.
"Amano," Qingshi suddenly said, "Have you noticed that there seem to be fewer Hai Lingbiao in the river!"
"That's right," Chen Tianye said, "I've been calculating the quantity. I'm afraid Hai Lingbiao tonight is not even one-tenth of last night's."
"Maybe..." Qingshi thought for a moment, "Maybe it's like this: when the weather is fine, the ghost bats and magic wolves can guard and defend, and Hai Lingbiao doesn't need to put in much effort. On stormy nights, the ghost bats can As the defense of He Molang decreases, Hai Lingbiao will defend more closely."
"It makes sense," Chen Tianye said, "but these Hai Lingbiao should still be lurking in the river. Although there are few patrols, they will definitely be dispatched in full once there is a situation."
"That's not necessarily true," Qingshi said, thinking of the dense sea lingbiao on the beach that day, "I guess this river is connected to the sea, and there should be water channels connecting it underneath. When the weather is fine, most of the sea lingbiao They all go to the beach, and they come here to avoid the huge waves during storms. Yes, that must be the case, because they still need to go to the sea to find food, otherwise how could such a river support so many sea lingbia?"
"That's right!" Chen Tianye slapped his thigh, "So, the best time for us to break through the Bone Spur Demon Wolf and Ghost Bat defense is in stormy weather, and the best time to break through the Hai Lingbiao defense is on a clear night!"
"Yes!" Qingshi said, "We can test it out first."
The two did what they said and immediately got up and headed to the river. Since no ghost bats and magic wolves came and Hai Lingbiao would not come ashore to pursue them, Qingshi and Chen Tianye unscrupulously cut down a big tree and threw it into the river. . Sure enough, the big tree received much fewer attacks than the previous night. The number and power of the water arrows were less than one-tenth of yesterday. It seemed that Hai Lingbiao who was left behind was mostly old, weak, sick and young.
"That's great," Qingshi said, "You don't need a spherical airship made of black iron and fine steel. An ordinary airship can withstand it. At most, the bottom of the boat can be reinforced."
"That's true!" Chen Tianye said, "But the biggest danger is the array of cannons. This problem still cannot be solved."
Qingshi was very excited at the moment and felt that his mind was spinning very fast. He muttered slightly, "Amano, tell me, what is the biggest weakness of this mysterious defensive array?"
"Weakness?" Chen Tianye said, "It's...no one is looking after him."
"That's right!" Qingshi said with a smile, "Since there is no one to look after it, then we will consume it! Consume all its energy!"
Chen Tianye was stunned. This idea was not very clever, but it was effective. Judging from the current situation, all signs indicate that this array of cannons operates on its own. In this case, no one has added spiritual sources to it, and it can completely consume all its spiritual sources, unless it can use earth veins and the like. There is an endless supply of spiritual energy, but such technology is very complicated and the possibility is low.
Having made up his mind, Qingshi immediately called Xiang An and Duan Wutian and told them his idea. Naturally, both Duan and Xiang were delighted, and everyone was gearing up to get started immediately.
According to Qingshi's plan, a few people quickly cut down about fifty trees as thick as a bowl of sea and removed the branches to make logs several feet long. Qingshi took off the roof of the small airship that was originally used to shelter from the wind and rain, and then flew it to hover under the canopy of an ancient tree less than ten feet away from the river.
On the boat, Qingshi took out a log from the storage container and handed it to Duan Wutian and said, "Brother Qi, come on, you are our cannon."
Duan Wutian laughed and said: "Okay! This is a bait cannon." After speaking, he raised his arm and bent down to help, and used his flying gun martial arts to throw the log out.
The boat is about fifteen feet high from the ground. The log is thrown out and immediately penetrates the tree canopy, flying across the river towards the other side. With Duan Wutian's magical power, it is not a problem for the log to fly two hundred feet, and it can fly over fifty feet. Of course, rivers are not a problem.
Under the moonlight, the logs were seen flying past like javelins. A dozen water arrows were shot from the river, but none of them hit the logs. The log flew across the river and continued flying for about a hundred feet before falling into the forest. It made a faint sound of breaking tree branches and leaves. Although it was far away, Qingshi and others could hear it clearly.
When Duan Wutian saw that there was no cannon fired, he couldn't help but slap his forehead and said: "Oh Qingshi, although this log is thicker than the flying gun, it still can't trigger the cannon. This requires a living creature."
"That's right!" Qingshi said with a smile, "Let's test it first, this time I'll hang a live bait." After saying that, he took out a log again and handed it to Duan Wutian, and then gestured to Xiang An, who immediately left He fished out a small fish more than three inches long from a small bucket at the end of the cabin. He passed a thin black hemp rope through the fish's gills, and then tied it to the log.
"Brother Seven is here again!" Qingshi said.
"Such a small fish can trigger a cannon?" Duan Wutian wondered.
"Let's try it," Qingshi said with a smile, "Our iron bird cage almost blocked all our breath, and it triggered the array of cannons. This little fish can probably do it too." Naturally, this little fish is looking for Xiaopang again. Yes, to be precise, they exchanged it. Qingshi and the others exchanged ten roasted sheep for Xiaopang and dozens of small fish.
"Okay!" Duan Wutian didn't hesitate and threw the log out again.
The log dodged the water arrows and flew across the river, flying straight into the sky above the forest on the other side. At this moment, a bright blue-black light suddenly lit up in the forest on the other side, accompanied by the sound of a cannon. A black cannonball shot out of the forest. It flew out and accurately hit the log, instantly breaking it into pieces.
Seeing that the plan was successful, several people couldn't help but cheer.
Qingshi drove the airship fifty feet south, and let Duan Wutian launch another shot. As expected, the bombardment was still triggered, and the gun position remained the same as before.
Qingshi moved another hundred feet to the north, and the situation was the same. It seemed that within a few hundred feet, this formation cannon was being defended. Qingshi didn't care how many formation cannons there were, he thought to himself: As long as there is only one formation cannon in this area, , then use up this cannon. As for the array cannons in other directions, you will naturally have time to slowly clean up after crossing the river.
Qingshi then asked Duan Wutian to throw the log bait in the direction of the cannon, but after triggering thirty cannons in a row, there was no sign of weakness in the cannons. Qingshi thought for a while and said: "Lao Xiang, you can try throwing one too. You two throw it together. I want to see how awesome this array of cannons can be!"
This time, Xiang An and Duan Wutian launched two logs at the same time. After the two logs flew into the range of the cannon, they were destroyed one after another. There was only a few breaths of time between them. Judging from the flash, It's still in the same position, which shows that this array cannon can fire continuously in a very short period of time, and the interval between them is staggeringly short.
The next time, Qingshi also threw a log, that is to say, three logs were thrown at the same time. As a result, the cannon actually fired three shots in more than ten seconds. The first two logs were destroyed in the air, and the third log was destroyed in the air. When the log was destroyed, it had actually fallen to the ground.
"This is too fucking awesome!" Duan Wutian shouted, "How can we do this?"
"Brother Seven is wrong again!" Qingshi laughed and said, "This just shows its weakness. If someone controls it, it will definitely not let it launch so densely, and it will never hit the target that has fallen to the ground. Come on. , I don’t believe it can hold up!”
The three of them threw more logs one after another, and more than fifty logs were quickly used up.
Duan Wutian and Xiang An were holding the last two logs and preparing to throw them, but there were no more logs in Qingshi. Xiang An said: "It seems that we still underestimated this mysterious cannon!"
Duan Wutian said: "Yes, do you still need to launch it?" He had almost used up all his strength.
"Shoot!" Qingshi gritted his teeth and said, "This damn array cannon, it charges so fast and lasts so long, it seems that it really uses underground spiritual veins. If it doesn't work, I will use the Xuanhu cannon to blast it." Qingshi is really I plan to do this. Anyway, the approximate location of the array of cannons has been figured out. If it doesn't work, I will use the cannon to blast it to pieces.
"Go!" Duan Wutian shouted and threw the log. Xiang An also threw the last one.
The two logs each received two water arrows and flew across the river, triggering another artillery bombardment, but this time the sound of the bombardment seemed a little different. A dark cannonball flew out of the canopy but did not hit any round logs. Wood, and the cannonball seemed to have insufficient power, and it actually drew a low arc and fell into the river. A few breaths later, there was another loud bang. This time, the sound was obviously not the roar of a launch but the blast of an explosion.
Then there was no more sound.
"Haha, overloaded launch," Qingshi laughed and said, "It probably exploded!"
