Chapter 399 There is a reason for the monster attack
The identity of the Xuanjing Talisman Seal Master made Jin Ruofeng instantly become a guest of Soaring Eagle City, not because of his strong strength, but because Soaring Eagle City has a large number of talismans that need to be repaired, and there are currently very few talisman masters in the city.
Not to mention the talisman seal master
Now, the only thing Zhao Yuanhun can rely on is the three fifth-grade seal masters standing in front of Jin Ruofeng. Even though the fifth-grade seal masters are nothing to the major forces at present, they are still the mainstay in the army.
like existence.
After Zhao Yuanhun's brief introduction, Jin Ruofeng finally understood why Soaring Eagle City needed to be closed down.
Soaring Eagle City has been standing for thousands of years and is extremely strong. Naturally, no one with short eyes would provoke them. However, there was an accident that Zhao Yuanhun did not expect, that is, their duties conflicted with some powerful creatures.
There is a spiritual stone vein one hundred and twenty miles outside Soaring Eagle City. This is a very common thing in Soaring Eagle City. According to statistics, within the jurisdiction of Soaring Eagle City, such large and small mineral veins,
There are hundreds of mines, and after years of mining, this mineral vein has been nearly exhausted. According to Soaring Eagle City's previous practice, this mineral vein will be sold to major chambers of commerce in an overall auction.
Team.
Although the value of this kind of mineral vein aura stone is no longer high, the aura within it is still very strong. Many chambers of commerce will transform it into planting weapons or storing some equipment that requires aura to be imbued, and the purpose of the hunting team is even more
It's very straightforward, just like the Lingyun Hall of Zhenyun Academy, which was a first-class place for cultivation.
However, something strange happened to this Lingyun Stone Mine after it was sold, which was unexpected by everyone.
When this vein was auctioned, there were three mines in the shape of a Chinese character and a large mine. The mines were one large and two small. The middle mine was the largest and was where the entire main vein was located. According to records, this mine was
The final length of the mine is twelve miles, and it contains more than thirty branch tunnels. The other two smaller mines are also similar in size.
It was not one chamber of commerce that won the mine, but several chambers of commerce who jointly won it. After all, the value of this mine was very high, and it was difficult for a single company to withstand such great economic pressure. After the mine was obtained, several companies
The Chamber of Commerce was discussing how to transform the mineral veins. Some of them proposed to build a passage with three mines about ten miles away from the entrance. On the one hand, it can increase the area of the mines, and on the other hand, it can also disperse the traffic in the main cave.
pressure.
This kind of connecting hole is also very common in many mineral vein reconstructions, but this time something unexpected happened.
The connection hole was dug relatively smoothly at the beginning, but when the main cave was dug more than 300 feet to the passage on the right, a huge space suddenly appeared, which was 40 feet wide and not deep.
After all, it was very common to find such caves in mountains. At that time, they sent people down to check the situation. Some people even decided to use this place as a dumping ground for slag.
It also reduces shipping costs.
However, after eliminating several waves of people, there was no movement. Faced with this situation, the Chamber of Commerce immediately dispatched its own escort team, a group of more than 20 warriors, led by a low-level warrior.
After the convoy descended into the cave, news soon came that they had found the workers who had gone down earlier, but all of these workers had turned into bones and seemed to have been attacked by something.
When the Chamber of Commerce saw this situation, it immediately reported to Soaring Eagle City and asked Soaring Eagle City to send personnel to help deal with the matter. However, before Soaring Eagle City's team set off, the Chamber of Commerce's escort team sent an emergency signal, except for a fourth-level warrior.
Except for this, all the other personnel were killed, even the low-level warriors were not spared.
What made Soaring Eagle City uneasy was that there was no news from the Chamber of Commerce. When the men sent by Soaring Eagle City arrived at the mine, a bloody scene appeared on the scene, and everyone in the mine was killed.
It was obviously done by a monster, but no one at the scene found any trace of the monster.
After receiving the news, Zhao Yuanhun immediately sent a capable team to the mine to support him. Unexpectedly, he was attacked halfway. Half of the team of more than 100 people were killed. The team that survived asked for help from Soaring Eagle City and quickly returned.
Withdrawing, this team was eventually wiped out before waiting for the rescue team.
Then Soaring Eagle City came under a full-scale attack. Zhao Yuanhun immediately ordered the city to be sealed off. He relied on the tall walls of Soaring Eagle City to resist the opponent's attack. Who would have expected that these monsters found Soaring Eagle City's life gate, which was this passage.
After several resistances at the passage to Ju Fengjiang, Xiangying City finally stabilized the situation.
However, this stability is not based on the advantages of Soaring Eagle City, but these monsters seem to have stopped attacking in a rhythmic manner. The key is that until now, Zhao Yuanhun still does not know the origin of these monsters and their ultimate purpose.
What is.
After listening to Zhao Yuanhun's introduction, Jin Ruofeng was also confused, because since he entered this passage, apart from the blood stains, he had not seen any corpses of monsters or humans at all.
Regarding this, Zhao Yuanhun was even more helpless. All the corpse heads were dragged away by monsters and their whereabouts were unknown. They also wanted to snatch the corpses of their colleagues back at first, but the price was too high.
Not to mention the corpse of the monster.
"General Zhao, so to speak, your Soaring Eagle Army has not obtained a corpse of a monster until now?" The Soaring Eagle Army has been fighting monsters for some time, and Jin Ruofeng was extremely surprised that it was beaten to such an extent.
, you must know that the Soaring Eagle Army is not as weak as the Su Wei Army. It is a well-known combat force in Zhongzhou. It is even said that their ability in mountain warfare is not comparable to that of the Tiger Guard.
Zhao Yuanhun sighed and said nothing more. It was obvious that he was also a little depressed.
"But when we came in, we didn't see any monsters. What's going on?" Jin Ruofeng immediately raised his doubts. Ever since they came out of Jiudao Bay and arrived here, they hadn't seen any monsters along the way.
Any signs of monsters.
At this time, Jin Ruofeng suddenly thought of something else: "General Zhao, I want to ask you something else!"
"Mr. Jin, please speak!" Zhao Yuanhun still respected Jin Ruofeng.
"There is a very powerful monster in Jiudaowan. Do you know about this?" Jin Ruofeng asked.
"A very powerful monster?" Zhao Yuanhun shook his head slightly and said, "As far as I know, although there are monsters in Jiudao Bay, they are not too strong. It's just that these monsters are more cunning. In addition,
The terrain of Jiudao Bay is complex, so the monsters have never been eliminated. A few months ago, a team claiming to be the Teal Army came to ask for Xiang
I did not agree to the mission of the Eagle Army to escort the fleet at the time, but they promised to split the escort fee 30-70 with us. The Eagle Army could get 30% of the revenue without any effort. Naturally, I would not give up such a good thing! So I added
Regarding the monsters in the mine, I have no control over the situation at Jiudao Bay in recent months!"
At this point, Zhao Yuanhun suddenly looked at Jin Ruofeng with wide eyes: "You wouldn't say that the monsters in Jiudao Bay are related to the monsters in the mine, right?"
"I don't know this, because I have never seen the monsters that attacked Soaring Eagle City, but the monsters in Jiudao Bay are indeed not that easy to deal with!"
"Have you seen the monster in Jiudao Bay? What is it?"
"Nine-clawed phantom ice beast!" Jin Ruofeng glanced at the crowd around him and seemed to see the confused expressions on their faces. Jin Ruofeng said again, "Ancient monster!"
Zhao Yuanhun is naturally aware of the power of ancient monsters, but he has only heard about it and has never really seen it. Ancient monsters have appeared in Jiudao Bay. If this news spreads, Soaring Eagle City will
It became a dead city because no one dared to cross Jiudao Bay anymore, but the current Soaring Eagle City is almost like a dead city. If there were not a large number of spiritual stones in the city, it would be difficult to send supplies in.
Of course, Zhao Yuanhun also knew that when Jin Ruofeng said this, he was not talking about the power of this ancient monster, but why it appeared in Jiudao Bay, a place hundreds of miles away from Soaring Eagle City?
"Mr. Jin means that the ancient monsters in Jiudao Bay are the same as the monsters that attacked Soaring Eagle City?"
If this is the case, it can be understood why Soaring Eagle City has to pay such a heavy price to resist the opponent's attack. Not everyone can withstand the ancient monsters.
"I have never seen the monsters in Soaring Eagle City, so I can't say this." Jin Ruofeng spoke very cautiously. His current mission is to go to Changfeng City. It is estimated that there will not be any big changes in Soaring Eagle City, although
The emperor died, if Xiang Xiang
When the news about the attack on Eagle City spreads, it is estimated that many teams will come to reinforce it. After all, Zhongzhou is a famous "money bag". Even fighting for the position of emperor these days requires huge financial support, and Soaring Eagle
The city is the best backing.
Since there had been no monster attacks for a long time, Zhao Yuanhun invited Jin Ruofeng and others to his residence. Of course, before leaving, he did not leave Jin Ruofeng idle. In order to verify Jin Ruofeng's strength, Zhao Yuanhun asked Jin Ruofeng to repair it for him.
Two talismans.
These two talismans are located on the mountain wall not far from the main position. They are two wooden talismans used to block the team of monsters. Jin Ruofeng checked carefully and found that the grades of these two talismans can be
Reaching around the fifth level is obviously a more important level in the passage of Soaring Eagle City. Due to the strong damage from external forces, many runes were destroyed and the entire rune lost its function.
The production method of this kind of talisman engraved on the mountain wall is different from what Jin Ruofeng has seen before. Not only does it need to use special materials to draw the runes, but it also needs to connect these runes with the spiritual power in the mountain wall.
, enabling it to continuously absorb the spiritual power from the Lingyun Stone veins, thereby forming a large defensive sigil.
Fortunately, the biggest advantage of these talismans is that most of the runes are there, and you only need to add the appropriate runes. However, this kind of addition requires extremely skilled techniques and proficient runes. The key is these
Sigils are generally multi-attribute sigils, unless they are talismans
Seal masters, seal masters who can repair fifth-grade and above seals are almost all dual-attribute or even single-attribute characters, which makes these seals unable to be repaired at all. What makes it even more difficult for these seal masters to do is that among these runes
Quite a few of them are ancient runes, and they are even more helpless.
Jin Ruofeng looked at these runes carefully, turned the materials that Zhao Yuanhun had prepared long ago into countless spiritual powers, lifted up the void, and turned these spiritual powers into ancient runes one by one and settled on the original ones.
In just a matter of seconds, the damaged fifth-grade talisman regained its vitality, giving the soldiers at the main position valuable defense time.
The two talisman Jin Ruofeng found that it took less than a stick of incense to repair. This not only surprised Zhao Yuanhun, but the talisman masters were even more amazed. Based on their experience, even if they knew how to draw the runes
, it also requires countless practices, no one dares to be like Jin Ruofeng
In this way, you can draw it directly on the sigil. If something goes wrong, the damage to your spiritual roots will be minimal. Many people may even die as a result. Therefore, among sigil masters, there are those who would rather draw the sigil than repair it.
According to the talisman, this involves risking one's life.
The purpose of Zhao Yuanhun inviting Jin Ruofeng to the mansion was very simple. He wanted Jin Ruofeng to help figure out the origin of these monsters. Judging from the battle between the Soaring Eagle Army and the monsters during this period, although the Soaring Eagle Army suffered a lot of losses,
However, the monster beast is not unscathed.
In the power of the talisman that has been carefully maintained for hundreds of years, the loss of monsters is also huge, and Zhao Yuanhun also discovered a phenomenon. As long as more than half of the monsters are lost, the attack will be suspended for a period of time. This is why Soaring Eagle City did not
There is no lockdown.
It's just that in recent times, the attacks of the monsters have become more and more intense, and they have even been able to drive straight into the last line of defense of the passage, and then go down to the main passage into Soaring Eagle City. Once the main passage is lost, the entire Soaring Eagle City will be completely destroyed.
Occupied by monsters, in order to prevent accidents, Zhao Yuanhun ordered the city to be sealed off and concentrated all his efforts to protect the safety of the water passage.
After hearing the news, Jin Ruofeng immediately thought of what the nine-clawed phantom ice beast said at the time. They were summoned. Is there an unknown summoning talisman or inn over there in the mine?
"Brother Jin! You once talked about King Junhae. How do you think King Junhae contacted the Demon Realm?"
Karufi's words immediately attracted Jin Ruofeng's attention. This matter once made him a little puzzled. Now it seems that King Junhai either has a post station leading to the Demon Realm, or there is some kind of summoning talisman. It seems that the former
It may be the largest. This inn is most likely built on his treasury island, and there may also be an inn here, but where this inn leads to is still unknown.
If it were just a post station, this matter would be easy to deal with. Just dismantle it. However, Jin Ruofeng also knew how precious this kind of post station was. Once it was demolished, the losses would be huge.
