Two hundred and eighty-ninth chapter know ourselves and the enemy
These two armor-faced human-eating demons have been trapped by Jiang Li with the Dragon Prison Lock, although they cannot be killed in a short time.
But wanting to get out of trouble is also fanciful.
Ignoring them for the time being, Jiang Li looked at other places on the battlefield.
Not far away from him, two golden elixir body cultivators from Cihang Temple were besieging an armor-faced troll.
The golden fist, the size of a casserole, hit the troll like raindrops.
The tough scales were cracked, but the troll seemed to be completely unaware and launched the attack without any influence.
And its attack mode is completely different from the previous two trolls.
His body is obviously much larger than other trolls. The head covered with armor has a sharp horn that bends backwards. Every time he pulls away from a certain distance, he will use the horn to move forward and charge unstoppably.
to the enemy.
If it were hit by that horn, even a mountain would have a hole.
Jiang Li discovered that these trolls, except that they all had bone armor on their faces, were completely different in appearance, body shape, fighting methods, and habits.
It's as if they didn't evolve from the same species at all.
You must know that intelligent creatures recognize individual characteristics, 90% of which are for the same kind.
Taking humans as an example, just when communicating across races, it is actually very easy to develop prosopagnosia in which facial features cannot be distinguished.
Not to mention praising the species.
If Jiang Li were to see a hundred scale monsters, he would most likely think that these 100 scale monsters all look almost exactly the same.
Because when humans conduct cross-species identification, they usually recognize racial characteristics first, rather than individual characteristics.
But this group of armored human-eating monsters gave Jiangli a sense of strangeness, as if they had evolved from different ancestors.
You can grow it into any weird shape you want.
Before he could think about it, something happened again.
"Wait, what is this sound?"
When Jiang Li just wanted to quickly get rid of the two trolls in his hand and go to support other companions.
From the distant coastline, there was suddenly a sound of violent surging liquid.
He stepped on the air several times with his feet, and after raising his body for a while, he looked at the coastline in the distance.
In his field of vision, a white line was advancing rapidly in their direction.
"Damn! It's a tsunami! They can actually cause a tsunami!"
"Everyone returns to the city to defend!"
Jiang Li didn't believe that this tsunami was just a coincidence. It was just the first time they met, and these armor-faced transvestites really left a deep impression on him.
He yelled at the bottom. It would be fine if it was just a tsunami, but along with the tsunami came countless ferocious sea beasts.
If we continue to fight outside the city, the lives of the Chongshan League monks will be meaninglessly lost a lot to these damn sea beasts.
This is obviously something Jiang Li cannot accept.
"Stop fighting, the disciples can't defend the city!"
After once again reminding the higher-ups who were chasing the Armored Demon, Jiang Li dragged the prisoner dragon chain ball and landed on the wall of the machine city.
"These damn trolls, no wonder so many sects from the Eastern Region fell into disgrace at their hands. What a group of terrifying monsters!"
If you want to resist such a tsunami of sea beasts, just relying on the monks present will have to exhaust them all to death.
I hope the machine city under my feet can be reliable.
Jiang Li turned his hand, and a white spiritual ball that could not be seen by outsiders appeared in his hand.
Thousand-wit spirit ball, go!
Jiang Li took out Qianluo City's original city core Qianji Spirit Ball, and then drove it directly into the core of the organ city.
The mechanism city that originally required nine thousand Qi Sect monks to control it together to exert its power, after the Qian Ji Spirit Ball entered the core, the entire mechanism city seemed to come alive in an instant.
All defense mechanisms no longer needed human control to activate automatically. After accurately aiming at the white wave, they began to launch fierce long-range attacks.
Every time an attack from Neptune's Fork, Falling Flood Thunder, or Spiritual Energy Bomb falls on the white wave, a large bloody wave will appear at the point of impact. This is because large sea beasts are torn apart by remote mechanisms.
And fifty nautical miles after the tsunami line approached Black Reef Island, a strange mechanism suddenly appeared on the muddy beach.
It is a simple mechanism that looks like a scallop and opens back at a 45-degree angle.
After the turbulent sea currents rushed through, the angles of the scallop mechanism were forced to close under the strong pressure of the sea currents.
The closed scallops automatically open under the action of the elastic device, and then close again under the action of the sea current.
Within this fifty nautical mile area, there are such mechanisms scattered everywhere. If you look down from a high altitude, you can only see countless scallops that are constantly opening and closing.
These organs have no offensive capabilities and no defensive effects.
But under the influence of these scallops, the speed of the tsunami entering this range slowed down significantly, and the waves became lower and lower. Until it approached the Black Reef Island, the tsunami was only a dozen meters of small waves, which hit the hard rock.
on the reef.
That kind of mechanical scallop is actually called a tidal accumulator. It is a basic device that can borrow the power of tides to accumulate energy for the entire mechanical city.
Between the opening and closing of the scallop, every time the tsunami moves forward one foot, its energy will be absorbed. After crossing these fifty nautical miles, the waves hitting the Black Reef Island no longer pose any threat.
.
This is a magical mechanism created by Mozi, the previous generation of Momen, in a flash of inspiration when he was unable to borrow the power of earth veins in this tidal flat terrain.
It can be used to save energy at ordinary times. In critical moments, it can also be used to withstand tsunamis like now.
As a result, the machine city, which had accumulated a large amount of energy, started roaring fiercely at those who were carried nearby by the wave.
However, there were still too many sea beasts rushing in like a wave. The senior officials of the Chongshan Alliance, who were fighting fiercely in the air, could only put down their opponents and release large-scale destructive spells towards the sea beasts below to reduce the pressure on the organ city.
But this also gave those armor-faced trolls a chance to breathe. They fled into the sea one after another without fighting and escaped without a trace.
Obviously, this time's tsunami beast tide was used by the armor-faced troll hiding in the distance to help his companions escape.
The Chongshan League, which was blocked in the city by the tide of sea beasts, did not dare to pursue it at all. If they were to be transferred away from the mountain again, then their stronghold, which was not yet warm, and the Chongshan League's vanguard would really be doomed.
Fortunately, the A-faced ladyboy's control over the beast tide is not without limits.
After an hour, the sea beast was no longer so determined and fearless of death.
Two hours later, more sea beasts just gathered around the city and watched, and several internal fights broke out from time to time.
After three hours, this group of sea beasts, which could easily devour a country, dispersed on their own.
After a long time, the senior officials of the Chongshan League who had gone out to pursue the enemy finally arrived late.
After learning what happened next, they were also frightened and apologized to Jiang Li and others one after another.
"Don't blame yourself, the armor-faced transvestite is far more difficult than we imagined."
"In the days to come, we must be extremely careful. We must not take it lightly."
"I have moved the urban core of Qianluo City here. The defense capabilities of the government city have been greatly improved. For the time being, we must defend the stronghold first and then move forward."
Now that they have just arrived, they don't know much about the A-faced ladyboy. They don't even know the situation in the surrounding territory. Attacking rashly at this time is simply an act of seeking death.
"Then what should we do next? The armor-faced troll has the ability to control sea beasts on a large scale. No matter how strong the machine city is, we will be consumed by those sea beasts sooner or later."
The attitude of other senior executives is obviously quite negative.
After all, this sudden encounter caused a lot of losses to the Chongshan Alliance, but when it came to the results, in addition to a large amount of smelly and useless sea beast meat, they only killed 17 armor-faced trolls and two captured by Jiang Li.
Troll.
You know, they still need a full 270,000 armor-faced trolls to achieve one million meritorious deeds. If this continues, when will the end be achieved?
At this moment, they also deeply felt the helplessness of other sects struggling on this battlefield.
If the opponent keeps using the method of controlling sea monster attacks to consume them, the situation will fall into a very passive situation.
"Know yourself and your enemy, and you can win a hundred battles. Let's study these monsters first."
For the current plan, they can only find a breakthrough in this group of armor-faced human-eating demons.
If the fatal weakness of this race can be discovered, or if the gathering place of their race can be obtained through severe torture, it can be regarded as a major breakthrough.
In the alliance, a rare ice attribute monk used magic to freeze a piece of sea mud shoal next to Black Reef Island, turning it into a flat and solid piece of frozen soil.
They first moved out the seventeen armored monster corpses and placed them on the ground, arranging them neatly.
Just like Jiang Li discovered before, these trolls all have their own personalities, with different shapes and characteristics.
The dissections carried out by animal control monks who specialized in raising spiritual beasts revealed that there were considerable differences in the organs in their bodies.
From the perspective of organ and physiological structure, some of these dozen trolls have the characteristics of carnivores, some have the characteristics of herbivores, and some simply have the characteristics of aquatic animals.
If that armor were removed, no one would think that they are the same species. It would be an exaggeration to say that they are incomparable.
It's really hard to imagine that they could be the same species.
Use a sharp rune knife to cut around the joint below their visors. It took a lot of effort to remove this piece of visor that represents the characteristics of the troll.
Jiang Li took the visor in his hand and squeezed it. It was unexpectedly thick and hard.
He held the mask with his right hand, and held the mask owner's head with his left hand, and slowly increased the force with both hands.
A moment later, there was a bang, and the head could no longer bear it. After a few breaths, cracks finally appeared on the mask.
This mask is actually much harder and thicker than the skull.
Humans can only be thick-skinned at best, but these armor-faced trolls have actually evolved their faces into the hardest part of their bodies.
No wonder this race is so powerful. Isn't this just in line with the old saying. "If a person is shameless, then the world..."
"How did you feel when you were fighting these armored monsters?"
Jiang Li observed the injuries on the armor-faced demons on the ground, and then asked the senior officials next to him.
"These monsters are very durable and not easy to kill."
A senior executive came to this conclusion after pondering for a moment.
"Yes, the ability is very strange, and the speed of recovery from injuries is extremely fast, making it very difficult to deal with."
Other senior executives almost feel the same way.
Jiang Li sighed and nodded, as expected.
He noticed that these troll corpses often had more than 20 wounds, and the body damage rate exceeded 50%.
These monsters seem to have no vital points and will only die after more than half of their bodies are broken.
In this case, if a human monk of the same rank collides with the opponent, the disadvantage will be too great.
"A snake has seven inches and a dragon has reverse scales. Everything must have its weaknesses. This is a law of nature. I don't believe these armor-faced monsters are exceptions."
But how to effectively deal with the armored troll?
In this regard, Si Shen Shen, who has been fighting with it for thousands of years, must have done a lot of research.
However, the situation of the war is changing rapidly, and the opposite side is also a powerful race with high intelligence. They will try their best to make up for any shortcomings.
If you are really superstitious about "special effects methods", the only result will be to send yourself into the abyss. Therefore, Si Shen Shen does not teach this kind of knowledge on paper.
The Chongshan League can only slowly explore on its own.
Leader Jiang raised his hand and a black chain ball, which had shrunk to only about two feet in diameter, flew over.
Due to the shrinking space, the two trolls inside were forced to hunched over, looking more like two beasts.
Jiang Li controlled the prison dragon lock, enlarging a gap in one of the chains, and waved to the sharp-clawed armored monster inside.
"Come out and have a one-on-one fight. If you can beat me, I will let you go."
After listening to Jiang Li's words, the sharp-clawed armor-faced demon remained indifferent, but the other armor-faced demon with barrier ability obviously had some reaction.
The two completely dark eyes under the mask turned, made a strange sound, and actually translated to their companions.
This obviously spiritual armor-faced troll understands human speech.
After listening to his translation, the mouth under the mask of the Talon Armor opened in a slender arc, revealing a row of fangs that were curved like eagle claws.
If in the world of armor-faced demons, this upward arc also represents laughter, this clawed armor-faced demon is laughing at Jiang Li's overestimation of his abilities.
He jumped out from the gap opened by Jiang Li,
He stretched his burly body wantonly, how could a short and thin human being no bigger than his own claws be his opponent?
