While Qin Hai was still observing the Shang family's mountain-protecting formation, Shenlong's voice rang in his mind, "It turned out to be a spirit turtle shell. No wonder it always feels familiar."
Qin Hai took the opportunity to ask Shenlong for advice, and Shenlong explained, "Spirit turtles generally refer to turtles that have lived for more than a thousand years. Such turtles are usually psychic. After death, their shells are a very good material for refining weapons. Usually
It can enhance defense capabilities. For example, their formation structure is actually very simple, but after using the turtle shell, the defense power is increased by at least ten times."
"What kind of material are those jade stones made of?" Qin Hai continued to ask.
"They are just some ordinary spirit stones. This kind of spirit stone is usually naturally long. Because it stores a large amount of heaven and earth energy, it is very useful to practitioners. It seems that there are not many in your place anymore. The place where I used to be
Spirit stones are relatively common in the world. In addition to being used for cultivation, practitioners can also use them to exchange various materials with others and serve as currency."
After listening to Shenlong's explanation, Qin Hai felt a little overwhelmed. According to Shenlong, this was the first time he had seen a spirit stone after coming to Earth for so long.
In other words, there are very few spiritual stones on the earth that are difficult to see, or they have completely disappeared. However, the Shang family’s mountain-protecting formation needs spiritual stones to support it. If the spiritual stones are exhausted and cannot be sustained, then their
The mountain-protecting formation will also be ineffective, and then those people outside can drive straight in, and the Shang family will be completely doomed.
"Master, how long do you think the remaining spiritual stones can last?"
Shenlong said: "If those people outside stop attacking the formation, there is no problem in supporting it for another three or four hours. If they continue to attack the formation, I am afraid they can only support it for two hours at most."
"This is going to be difficult!" Qin Hai frowned. Those people outside seemed to have expert guidance, so they have been attacking the formation. Since they have persisted for so long, they will definitely not stop here.
Shang Dajun and others on the other side also had sad faces. Seeing that there was only a little bit of spiritual stone left, they all didn't know what to do.
This mountain-protecting formation, as well as these spiritual stones, which they call formation stones, are all passed down by the ancestors of the Shang family. Shang Dajun and the others do not have any extra spiritual stones at all, so if the spiritual stones are used up, then the mountain-protecting formation will be destroyed.
The array will also disappear.
For a time, the atmosphere in the secret room was extremely depressed, and everyone's faces were filled with sadness.
In the end, as the current head of the family, Shang Dajun still took the decision of the head of the family. He announced several measures on the spot. On the one hand, he arranged manpower to negotiate with those outside, trying to get the other party to stop attacking the formation and delay it for a while.'
On the other hand, Shang Dajun ordered all the remaining people to be prepared. Once the formation was broken and the negotiation failed, everyone would take up arms and fight to the death with those outside.
No one objects to Shang Dajun's opinion, and this is the only way to do it under the current circumstances.
The people gathered in the secret room quickly dispersed and began to go their separate ways. Shang Dajun did not leave. He looked at the turtle shell suspended in the air, with a look of loneliness written on his old face.
This spirit turtle shell has been passed down in the Shang family for hundreds of years. According to records, this is the third time the Shang family has used this treasure, and it is also the third time the Shang family has faced a life-or-death crisis.
But the previous two times passed smoothly, but this time, it seems that there is no hope.
As the head of the Shang family, Shang Dajun is in a very bitter mood at this time. He is a very courageous person, and his lifelong pursuit is to make the Shang family bigger and stronger under his own hands and become the leading top family. However, his dream is still
If it is not realized, the Shang family will face the crisis of extinction, and it will be extinct in his hands.
This was hard for Shang Dajun to accept, but he had to face reality.
If the Shang family was really wiped out by his hands, how could he have the dignity to meet the ancestors of the Shang family after his death?
In fact, in addition to the two choices just now, there is a third choice, which is to choose to surrender, but from now on, the Shang family will become vassals and slaves of others.
For Shang Dajun, this is also unacceptable. If he chooses this path, he will have no face to meet the ancestors of the Shang family after his death.
However, it is better than the Shang family becoming extinct from now on. As long as the Qingshan family remains, there will be no fear that the Shang family will not be able to regain its strength in the future. If the ancestors really want to blame, then blame him alone.
Thinking of this, Shang Dajun's heart, which had always been as solid as a rock, finally began to waver, and he began to consider the pros and cons of surrendering to that lord.
At the same time, news spread like wildfire that the formation stones were about to be exhausted, and the entire Shang family's old house was soon filled with an atmosphere of anxiety and despair, and even the sound of crying could be heard from time to time.
This is normal. The mountain-protecting formation is already the last support in the hearts of many people in the Shang family, but now they think that the rock-solid mountain-protecting formation is about to disappear. What awaits them is most likely destruction and complete disappearance from this world.
, this makes the Shang family, who have always lived in peace and contentment, at a loss as to what to do and unable to accept it.
The fear of death has never been as strong as it is now. Many of them are even facing death for the first time, especially some of them are still very young, only ten or twenty years old.
In the backyard of the Shang family's old house, a middle-aged woman was giving orders to prepare luggage, and at the same time, someone put some heavy armor on Shang Qiushan and Shang Tianxin, brother and sister.
"Xiaoshan, if the big formation disappears later, don't worry about anything. Take your sister and run as far as you can. Don't look back. Do you understand?"
The middle-aged woman is the mother of Shang Qiushan's brother and sister and the wife of Shang Xing. At this critical moment of life and death, she thinks of her own children and hopes that they can escape safely.
Shang Qiushan didn't take it seriously. He didn't even bother to put on those armors. He ate melon seeds and said, "Mom, it's okay. Don't worry. My dad and the others will definitely have something to do, not to mention that my eldest brother is here. Even if the formation is gone,
, those people outside are no match for us."
"Don't talk nonsense. There are several human kings among those people. How can our family deal with them? Put on this armor quickly. Although it is a bit heavy, it can save lives in critical moments."
Unexpectedly, Shang Qiushan ran out in a flash, shouting at the same time: "Give Tiantian something to wear, I'll go find big brother."
"This child!" The middle-aged woman was so angry that she kept stamping her feet, her face full of anxiety.
"Mom, I'm going to call brother back." Shang Tianxin put on the armor obediently. The woman finally showed a look of relief after hearing this. After giving some instructions, she urged Shang Tianxin to call Shang Qiushan back.
Unexpectedly, after going out, Shang Tianxin didn't go to Shang Qiushan at all. Instead, she asked Erya beside her: "Do you know where brother Qin Hai is? He will definitely fight with those people later. I have to hurry up."
