Chapter 274 Test
I don’t know how much time passed, but the movement weakened significantly, but the smoke and dust were too large and thick to completely dissipate in a short time.
In this way, even with Li Xiuyuan's level of cultivation, he still cannot see clearly the specific situation of the monster.
However, Lin Tianming was not affected. He had already observed the changes in Chen Jingtian's expression and already had some guesses in his mind.
Curious, he opened his colorful eyes one step earlier and stared at every move in the smoke.
Through the observation of the colorful eyes, tens of thousands of monsters have gathered here at this time, occupying a very huge area, and the end cannot be seen at a glance.
In addition, at the forefront of the monster army, the auras of nine third-level monster beasts are very powerful and can be easily spotted.
They stood side by side, each monster staring at the light screen in front of them, seeming to be sizing up something.
Among this group of ferocious monsters, the leader, the Flame Heavenly Lion, is huge in size, with flaming flames covering his hundred-foot-tall body. The powerful strength of the late third level is undoubtedly revealed.
Except for the only late third-order monster, the remaining third-order monsters are equally powerful, including two in the middle third-order and six in the early third-order.
The terrifying strength of these nine third-level monsters is enough to make a foundation-building monk tremble and unable to think of a confrontation.
In addition to these third-order monsters, the number of second-order monsters is equally terrifying. It is conservatively estimated to be no less than three thousand. Many of them have powerful auras, which are not weaker than those of Li Xiuyuan, a ninth-level foundation builder. The presence of monks.
With such a powerful lineup of monsters, it’s no wonder that even a powerful being like Chen Jingtian couldn’t help but look fearful.
Finally calmed down a little, and then he paid attention to the situation on the monk's side.
At this time, it is estimated that except for a few Jindan monks and himself, no one present knew the shocking scene in the smoke.
"After a while, the smoke and dust will dissipate, and the expressions of the monks will be wonderful!" Lin Tianming thought to himself.
Qin Xi on the side saw the change in Lin Tianming's face, staring at the smoke and dust in front of him with a pair of beautiful eyes, showing a curious expression.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, what did you find? Why does your face suddenly look so ugly?" Qin Xi said through a message.
Lin Tianming couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then told Qin Xi what he saw through sound transmission.
He only mentioned the situation of a few third-level monsters, but Qin Xi was shocked beyond measure, and his face could not help but turn blue and white.
Originally, she thought that four or five third-level monsters in this monster army would be enough to cause a headache for the human race.
From what Lin Tianming said, there were a total of nine third-order monsters, and one late-stage powerful being. This level of strength was completely beyond her expectation.
Such shocking news shocked her for a long time. It was not until Lin Tianming reminded her that she came back to her senses.
At this time, Lin Tianming's face gradually calmed down, and the shock in his heart also calmed down, because he knew that although the human monks seemed to be at an absolute disadvantage, they were protected by a third-level defense formation, and the human monks also Not without resistance.
After coming back to his senses, he glanced at the many foundation-building monks on the city wall and found that it was indeed as he expected. Everyone's face was wonderful, with different expressions, including calm and fear. , there are also those with strong fighting spirit.
In this way, everyone with complicated moods and expressions kept staring at Yanchen, waiting for the instructions of the Golden Pill cultivator.
I don’t know how much time has passed, but Chen Jingtian made up his mind high in the sky.
He looked at the third-order monster beast Raging Heavenly Lion on the opposite side, and then shouted loudly: "Launch the formation attack immediately, and the rest are waiting for orders!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw The originally light golden formation light curtain suddenly shone with light, and a powerful momentum broke through the sky. The air within a few miles outside the Demon Control City began to vibrate violently inexplicably.
At the same time, countless light pillars and fireballs suddenly erupted from the light curtain. Each one was as thick as a bucket and exuded a terrifying temperature, attacking indiscriminately into the smoke.
At this time, everyone's eyes were wide open, feeling the terrifying light beam and fireball, and everyone showed an expression of disbelief.
It is said that formations of level three and above basically have attack capabilities, but I don’t know how powerful they are.
This was also the first time that Lin Tianming saw a formation taking the initiative to attack. The Lin family's Clan Protection Formation was only a second-level high-grade formation that only had defensive functions and did not have such a powerful ability at all.
But even so, the family's formation defense is extremely good and has helped the family survive crises many times.
Such an outstanding formation is extremely rare among many foundation-building families, making many families covet it.
The third-level formation is even more rare. Only the Zhenyang Sect, a force that has been passed down for thousands of years, or those family forces that have been passed down for a long time can have a small number of third-level formations.
Previously, the Wei Kingdom had been peaceful, with few fights between major forces. In addition, there were too few forces with third-level formations. If there was no genocide war, there would be no third-level formation attacks.
Under such circumstances, he was secretly thinking about the effectiveness of this formation and whether it could cause fatal damage to the second-level monster.
However, it can be expected that although the attack launched by this formation is not weak, the impact on the third-level monsters will definitely be minimal.
After all, monsters are rough-skinned and fleshy, and their defense capabilities are extremely strong. Ordinary attacks either cannot keep up with the speed and are easily dodged, or they are not powerful enough to cause fatal damage.
Just as he was thinking, the attack launched by the formation came as promised.
In the smoke, the third-order monsters immediately reacted, and the leading Flame Heavenly Lion roared, seemingly giving orders.
As the roar spread across the earth, the huge groups of monster beasts behind the Flame Heavenly Lion moved one after another, trying to avoid the attacks of light beams and fireballs.
On the city wall, Lin Tianming opened his colorful eyes and carefully observed every move in the smoke, refusing to let go of any movement.
Under his gaze, he saw those third-level monsters easily dodge the light beams and fireballs, and shuttled through them with ease.
However, the third-level monster can easily dodge, and even directly block part of the attack with its body.
And those first-level monsters will die if they touch them. If ordinary second-level monsters are directly attacked, they will be seriously injured at least, and they will die at worst.
Only those late second-level monsters can withstand some attacks, but a few times will not affect them. If they are attacked too much, they will still be injured or even die.
At this moment, as those stronger monsters escaped the attack, some of the weaker monsters behind them did not have such good luck.
As long as they were attacked by light beams and fireballs, a scream would immediately be heard, and for a while, the entire Demon Yu City was screaming again and again. Even the human monks couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts when they heard it.
Soon, the first round of attacks ended, the smoke and dust in the sky dispersed a lot, and the outline of the entire monster army was revealed.
Looking around, the ground at this time is covered with corpses of monsters, at least no less than three thousand. Many second-level monsters also died tragically under the light beams and fireballs bombarded by the formation. .
It can be seen that the first round of attacks has a good effect. Although the second-level monsters killed are very limited, the overall number is amazing.
If the attack continues for several rounds, even a large group of monsters cannot afford such losses. But I can only think about such things, after all, the monsters are not just standing still.
The first round of attacks was completely unexpected. When the monsters were prepared, the effectiveness of the array attacks would be greatly reduced. It was very unrealistic to achieve such results.
Sure enough, while he was thinking, the second round of attacks of the formation had already been launched.
The prepared monster army is no longer panicking. The leading third-level monsters have no intention of dodge. Instead, they stand side by side at the front, forming a barrier with their powerful bodies like hills. Block the attack of the monster behind you.
Obviously, their intelligence is not low, and they know very well that the effects of these attacks can be almost ignored, so they are too lazy to pay attention, and even have to block some of the monsters behind them.
“Bang bang bang…”
Violent sounds were heard one after another, and beams of light and fireballs attacked the body of the third-level monster, and soon dissipated between the sky and the earth.
These seemingly terrifying light beams and fireballs are really just scratching an itch for the third-level monster.
In the smoke, because the battle line of the monster group is too long, the body of the third-level monster can only block a small part of the position.
In this way, a large area was still exposed to the formation attack. Under the second round of attack, nearly a thousand monsters were killed by light beams and fireballs.
As the two rounds of attacks ended, the originally tens of thousands of monsters lost one-tenth of their strength.
At this time, the demonic beast had also separated from the formation light screen for some distance, and was pushed back several miles.
At this moment, the army of monsters was no longer advancing, and there was no movement. There were only a few third-level monsters staring at the formation light screen and roaring, looking quite angry.
High above the city wall, Chen Jingtian frowned. There was no emotion or anger on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking.
He glanced at the army of monsters in front of him, then looked at the obviously weakened power on the formation light screen, and gave an order to Wang Hengqiu beside him.
"Pause the formation attack first, and then launch the attack if the monster advances several miles, otherwise don't waste the energy of the formation!"
"Okay!" Wang Hengqiu nodded in response.
Wang Hengqiu strongly agrees with Chen Jingtian's decision. This formation attack also requires energy.
If there is no energy limit and the attack continues, even if the third-level monsters can be ignored, they will not be able to effectively attack the Demon City.
If this is the case, wouldn’t it mean that if we can’t stand firm and launch array attacks all the time, the Demon Control City will not fall?
Obviously, this is unrealistic.
The third-level formation is not invincible. Whether it is defense or attack, the energy stored in the formation consumes a lot. Once the stored energy is used up, the power will be weakened only by the support of high-grade spiritual stones, and it cannot be sustained for too long.
The number and overall strength of the human monks are not as good as the monster beasts. Under the current situation, the third-order formation is what they rely on.
Under such restrictions, they must control energy consumption, exert the maximum power of the formation as much as possible, and cause maximum damage, thereby reducing the losses of human monks.
Thinking of this, Wang Hengqiu took out the token to control the third-level formation and immediately turned off the formation attack temporarily.
As the power of attack is turned off, the aura on the formation light screen seems to have increased, and the defensive ability has been strengthened.
Such changes were seen by all the monks, and they felt a little lucky in their hearts. Fortunately, they were protected by the formation. If they fought head-on, the losses on the human side would be unimaginable.
At this time, the formation attack stopped, and the monster army retreated for several miles, and fell into a brief calm. The two sides looked at each other, and were thinking about the next countermeasures.
The silent time passed slowly, and only the smell of blood was still lingering in the air.
It seems to be a warning to both parties that the scene with Chanyeol just now is real and will continue to happen.
Half a quarter of an hour later, a deafening roar came out, once again breaking the brief tranquility.
Looking around, nine third-level monsters took the lead in attacking.
There were several third-level monsters spitting out spheres of various colors, and some second-level monsters with long-range attacks. They spit out all kinds of strange attack methods and bombarded the formation light curtain in front of them. Come.
At the same time, several third-level monsters led a large number of second-order monsters to attack head-on, using their thick and powerful bodies to hit the formation light curtain.
The first-order monsters stayed in place and did not move a step, as if they did not intend to participate in the attack.
Obviously, these late-level third-level flaming heavenly lions are very intelligent. The strength of those monsters is too weak. Under the defense and attack of the formation, it is difficult to have much effect. If they step forward, they will sacrifice their lives in vain. That’s all.
It would be better to leave these huge number of first-order monsters. If the human monks later step out of the formation and launch them to attack, they will be able to achieve greater results.
"Rumble..."
The attacks of various monster beasts pierced the void, and those monster beasts that relied on their bodies collided with the formation light screen, making an earth-shattering sound.
At this time, the earth shook violently, and the light screen flashed with the firelight produced by countless explosions.
Lin Tianming stood on the city wall, staring straight ahead, his heart in doubt in his throat.
This first round of attacks is very critical. If the monster attack is too powerful and the attack continues, the formation may not last long.
In this way, persistence is not a long-term solution. They must make changes and find ways to survive the crisis.
There are many people who think like him, and everyone is paying attention to the fierce reaction coming from the formation light screen.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The explosions continued one after another, the light on the light screen continued to flash, and the firelight illuminated the entire sky.
Under the attack of the monster beasts, the formation light curtain shook, and the air in the Demon Control City became extremely chaotic.
A few breaths of time passed, and the first round of attacks by the monsters temporarily stopped.
Seeing that the ground was no longer shaking and the formation was still operating smoothly, most people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the faces of Chen Jingtian, several Jindan monks, and those with unique vision, including Lin Tianming, became a little solemn.
