Since Zhang Changkong killed two more Sand Scorpion clan leaders, the Sand Scorpion clan's actions in the Dongtang Oasis have suddenly decreased a lot. Except for occasionally sending some cannon fodder to attack the city to show their presence, the advanced Sand Scorpions The clan never showed up again.
From the information that was captured and interrogated by the Sand Scorpion Tribe, we learned that the Sand Scorpion Tribe has divided into war zones. Three commander-level sand scorpions were lost in the Dongtang Oasis. The overall strength of this war zone was... It has been greatly affected, so unless there are special circumstances, the Sand Scorpion Tribe will basically not attack the Dongtang Oasis on a large scale.
After hearing the news, Zhang Changkong put down his worries slightly, stopped asking about the situation in the city, and focused on cultivation.
Time passed slowly for four years.
In the training room, Zhang Changkong opened his eyes. At this time, the mana in the Qi Mansion had reached eighty-five. Although there was a middle-grade vitality stone, the vitality here in the Dusk Desert was even thinner than that in the Sanhe Rainforest. After a decrease, the cultivation level did not increase very fast.
Fortunately, Zhang Changkong is not in a hurry. He currently lacks the essence of heaven and earth. Even if his magic power is full, he will not be promoted to a mage, so he has plenty of time.
Zhang Changkong released his consciousness and discovered that an attendant sent by the city lord's palace was waiting outside his courtyard.
"Looks like today is the day."
The messenger from the main city of Dusk Desert comes once a year, and it is estimated that this year's visit will last only half a month.
In the newly built city lord's palace, Zhang Changkong saw two monks, one who looked like an old man and the other who looked like a middle-aged man.
"Oh, Senior Brother Tian, are you coming again this year?" Zhang Changkong greeted lightly.
"Sigh, senior brother runs around in this desert at dusk all year round. From time to time he encounters the sand scorpion tribe and has to work hard. He is not as leisurely and content as junior brother Zhang here." The old man sighed in a pretentious manner.
Zhang Changkong didn't answer. He didn't believe what Old Man Tian said. This man's merit points were only as high as those of Zhang Changkong who had been guarding this place for four years.
The old man saw that Zhang Changkong was silent and not angry. He pointed to the box on the table and said, "The vitality stone is here."
Zhang Changkong nodded, took the box and was about to say goodbye.
"Wait a minute, Junior Brother Zhang, a new mission has come down. You need to report to the main city within a month at the latest," Old Man Tian said seriously.
Um?
Upon hearing this, Zhang Changkong paused and said, "I understand."
"Then let's say goodbye first, we still have to go to a few places," Old Man Tian said with a smile. After that, he took the middle-aged man away.
After Zhang Changkong returned to the yard, he sat and thought about something.
Zhang Changkong guessed that this time when he returned to the main city, it might be time for the decisive battle between the Xiangshan Sect and the Sand Scorpion Clan.
The reason why he didn't ask for information from that old man Tian just now was because the two of them didn't have much friendship, so old man Tian would definitely not tell any key information.
"However, this decisive battle will decide the battle at the level of the mage realm. We warlocks may not have to fight."
Over the years, Zhang Changkong learned either from prisoners in the city or from unknown sources obtained by Wu Yu that there were many king-level sand scorpion clans in the sand scorpion clan that corresponded to the mage realm.
If the mages of the Xiangshan Sect defeat the kings of the Sand Scorpion Clan, Zhang Changkong and his warlocks will naturally clean up the remnants of the Sand Scorpion Clan in the dusk desert. However, if they are defeated, they may need to retreat to the main city or even directly withdraw to the Xiangshan Sect. .
"In this war, the most casualties are mortals, and we warlocks are the ones fighting most frequently, but we are not the protagonists," Zhang Changkong thought silently, "This is the reason for the lack of strength."
In the next half month, the vitality stone Zhang Changkong asked the Golden Needle Wasp to eat was no longer a low-grade vitality stone, but was replaced by a middle-grade vitality stone. After four years, there were not many middle-grade vitality stones left, and the low-grade vitality stones had long been Finished for the wasps.
"Senior Brother Zhang, are you leaving today?" Xu Ying asked.
Xu Ying and the two arrived half a month ago, and they also received the same order as Zhang Changkong.
"Well, let's go." Zhang Changkong nodded and took Rong Lu away on the Golden Needle Wasp.
Zhang Changkong left the two Centipede Bugs at the Dongtang Oasis. If the Xiangshan Sect wins this war, he will naturally come back here to take them away. If he loses, the loss of the two Centipede Bugs will not be counted. On what.
"Brother, do you think our Xiangshan Sect can win?" If it were four years ago, Wu Yu would definitely not have doubts, but in the past four years, all the monks who pay a little attention to this information in the Dusk Desert know that this sand The strength shown by the Scorpion Clan far exceeds many people's imagination.
"Whether we win or not is not something we can decide. However, although the Sand Scorpions have suppressed us in numbers at the warlock and mortal levels, the same cannot be said for the mage level," Zhang Changkong said.
"I think so too," Xu Ying nodded, "We warlocks are all better than the sand scorpions at the command level, and the monks at the mage level are definitely better than their kings."
Zhang Changkong said nothing more after that. Although this war was related to the survival of millions of people in the dusk desert, Zhang Changkong himself did not have the ability to make a big change in this matter, so he just decided to do He should do what he should do, so that even if he loses the war, he has nothing to regret.
Maybe his state of mind was slightly different from Wu Yu's, so he didn't join in their discussion.
Dongtang Oasis is located near the edge of the Dusk Desert, but the main city is in the center of the Dusk Desert. In the desert, the sense of direction is not strong, and the Golden Needle Wasp flew for eight days before arriving at the main city of the Dusk Desert.
In a palace in the main city, after Zhang Changkong reported for duty, he met Senior Brother Li again. At this time, Senior Brother Li's temperament had changed a lot compared to four years ago, and he looked much colder.
"Is this the treatment of a genius? I don't know how many battles he has experienced in the past four years and how many resources he has used. Four years ago, his aura was similar to mine and now he has surpassed me." Zhang Changkong discovered that not only Senior Brother Li, but also many warlocks The feeling he gave him was very different from when he met by chance in the sect.
"Could it be that fighting can increase the speed of cultivation?" The "Secret Record of the Stone Heart" that Zhang Changkong practiced by himself is not a sect secret. He has experienced a lot of battles and has not felt any changes in his technique. It may be one step behind his technique. It has to do with reaching the stage of true meaning. It is not clear whether fighting really helps to understand the skills or improve the efficiency of cultivation.
However, Zhang Changkong walked around the main city and heard a lot of news. He knew that in the past four years, at least two hundred warlocks had fallen in the Dusk Desert. He heard that the Dusk Desert had summoned about 800 warlocks, and now there are still There were only about 600 people there.
"In just one hour, three powerful spiritual consciousnesses swept across. How many mages are here?" Zhang Changkong looked towards the direction of the city lord's palace. Basically, all the mages from the Xiangshan Sect were there.
To be honest, Zhang Changkong still hopes that the Xiangshan Sect can win. His cultivation path has been planned for a long time, and he does not want to change it because of an unexpected battle.
Zhang Changkong returned to the house assigned to him, practiced silently, and quietly waited for the outcome of this war.
