Chapter 40: Playing with Fools
The giant lizards were not born with high IQ, but they would gradually become smarter as their cultivation increased. The shadow leader also understood the tone of his people and quickly asked them what had happened.
The big lizard who loved to hide behind the stone continued to scratch his head: "You are missing a lizard, didn't you notice? The body appeared at the city gate."
leader:……
Only then did they realize that Shadow One had not returned yet. "Did he kill that brat?"
"I don't know!" The big lizard shook his head: "Anyway, we didn't see any corpses of the cubs."
The shadow leader had no choice but to point to Shadow No. 2 and ask him to go over and check the situation. He also specifically reminded him: "Don't go into the wild area."
Black Shadow No. 2 nodded firmly, turned around and galloped towards the direction of his own city. The two big lizards who came to report the news were a beat slower, and then they hurriedly followed, but they couldn't even see their backs.
Halfway through the race, Black Shadow No. 2 spotted a young man holding a sledgehammer blocking the road. He looked at him arrogantly and even shouted, "You, come here!"
Black Shadow No. 2 prided himself on being a wise man. He felt that a kid at the peak of the foundation building stage dared to stand here so blatantly. There must be some conspiracy behind it. He might fall into their trap if he went over there.
He looked carefully and found that there were indeed many large and small stones on the ground, and those stones were arranged into strange shapes.
After thinking for two seconds, he decisively released a skill to the sky and asked for help from his companions. After all, No. 1 was already dead, which meant that the other party had the ability to kill Yuanying across levels.
He has already possessed another body once, if he dies again he will be really dead, so he'd better cherish his life.
As soon as the distress signal was sent out, the leader of the black shadows took it very seriously and rushed over with the other black shadows. Seeing this, Song Kuang pretended to stick a spiritual stone on the ground and then hid in the wild area.
A black shadow galloping over saw Song Kuang's back and subconsciously wanted to chase him, but was stopped by Black Shadow No. 2: "Be careful, there is a trap."
As he spoke, he pointed to the half-exposed spirit stone on the ground.
"Their human formations and mechanisms are still very powerful, and their lethality is extremely strong," the black shadow leader nodded in approval, "It's better to be careful."
So a group of black shadows stood in a stalemate with the half-exposed spirit stone, and for a while no one took another step forward.
Until two big lizards arrived late, they saw the glittering spirit stones on the road at a glance: "Hehehe, we can pick up spirit stones while walking!" As they said that, they pulled out the spirit stones directly.
"Wait..." The shadow leader was still a beat too late to stop him.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, the big lizard was smart and quickly hid the spirit stone in the space inside his body: "Haha, just now you just watched and didn't pick it up, you probably don't think highly of this small spirit stone!"
"Are you okay?" Shadow No. 2 looked at the big lizard that was unharmed in surprise.
"It's okay!" I just got a top-grade spirit stone for nothing, what could go wrong.
"Then throw these rocks to the side of the road."
The big lizard was very happy to get the spiritual stone and didn't mind being ordered around. It just swept all the stones to the side of the road with its long tail. It also swung its tail back and forth a few more times to make sure there was not even a small stone on the road.
Shadow No. 2: ...This is very embarrassing!
"Oh no, another attempt to lure the tiger away from the mountain." The leader of the black shadows reacted quickly and rushed to the city defense area of Yuanwu Star.
From a distance, I could see that the guards of Yuanwu Star had lined up outside the city. They formed a strange formation, and the people in the formation were gaining momentum, and they were almost at the peak of the Golden Core stage.
If they had not noticed something was wrong in time and rushed back, they might have had to face a group of Nascent Soul cultivators, and their advantage would have been gone.
So this is what they were planning!
"Attack with all your strength." The black shadow no longer held back and commanded other black shadows to attack the opposing camp with all their strength.
"Boom boom boom~" A large wave of skills came down mercilessly, but unfortunately it was blocked by a protective shield.
After the shield withstood three more full-strength attacks, it was finally broken. However, at the moment the shield was broken, the figures in the formation also twisted, and finally broke into small pieces like the shield and dissipated into the air.
The shadows were dumbfounded again: "Another fake?"
The black shadow leader also calmed down now. Their race had strong bodies and could withstand the possession of bodies by Nascent Soul cultivators, but there was a limit and they could not always maintain their peak state.
After several rounds of full-strength attacks, their tendons and veins were already aching, and even the dark shadows around them had faded a lot, and the outline of the giant lizard could be vaguely seen.
"Time is running out. We might as well try our best to break through the protective shield, otherwise our plan will fail." The shadow leader made the decision helplessly.
Attacking with all their strength would put a great burden on their bodies, and even damage their foundation, affecting their future cultivation. That was why they chose to wait and see, waiting for their spirit stones to run out and the formation to dissipate on its own.
However, now they can no longer afford to delay.
After the leader spoke, the other shadows naturally chose to cooperate and used their spiritual power to attack the protective shield guarding the city.
However, just as they launched the attack, the battle horn sounded from the city defense at the other end of the front line.
"Kill~"
"rush……"
A huge roar was heard, and even the people here could hear the earth-shaking shouts.
"Why did they start fighting again?"
"Don't worry about it!" The black shadow leader gritted his teeth and said, "It's just a little kid. The city guards can handle it."
He would never fall for that damned trick again.
However, after they launched two more rounds of attacks, the shouting and screaming did not stop, but became even more intense.
From the sound of the battle horn, we can roughly analyze the current battle situation and find that half of the soldiers defending the city have already been dispatched.
Is it really that serious to send half the people to fight a little kid?
Or did something else happen while defending the city?
"Their people are trapped in the city. It is impossible for them to send a large number of people to attack our city defenses." The shadow leader comforted him: "As long as we break the protective shield, the initiative will be in our hands."
That being said, the shadows' movements obviously slowed down, and most of their attention was diverted to the sound of war drums in the distance. They fought somewhat absent-mindedly, and even their skills lost their accuracy.
"Forget it, let's go back and take a look." No matter what time, one's own crystal is the most important.
However, just as they turned around to leave, the city's protective shield dissipated on its own.
"Hahaha, God help me, they have run out of spirit stones."
Unfortunately, before the laughter ended, a devastating spell was brewed and hit them directly.
