Chapter 289 A little while and a quarter of an hour passed quietly.
On the huge field outside the city, a large number of monsters stared at the Demon Control City in the distance, roaring angrily.
Tens of thousands of monster beasts came down in unison, and the sound was deafening. Even in the Demon Control City several miles away, you could still hear it clearly.
Such a huge scene and momentum, invisibly, created a lot of pressure on those Qi Refining monks in the Demon Control City who didn't know why.
……
On the walls of the city.
As Chen Jingtian opened his mouth to arouse the fighting spirit of the monks, the monks gathered in a very short time.
At this time, Lin Tianming and Li Xiuyuan came to their senses one after another. After greeting each other, they chatted for a few words.
As the leader of their team, Li Xiuyuan looked slightly solemn on the eve of the upcoming war.
However, he looked at the remaining forty people in the team, and his expression softened a lot.
After the last battle, their team suffered relatively small losses and thus achieved remarkable results.
The situation of some teams is appalling, with more than half of the casualties common. There are also many teams with poor strength, with only a few people left, almost in name only.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuyuan calmed down a lot. He looked at his teammates, cupped his hands and said, "Comrades."
"Uncle Chen also said just now that a war is unavoidable, and what follows is another tough battle. I hope we can unite and cooperate again to achieve rich results!"
"Other than that, you don't have to worry too much. After all, the number of monsters has been greatly reduced. This fight should be easier than the last time."
Hearing this, Lin Tianming and others nodded, and some of the monks in the early stages of foundation building looked much better.
Seeing the changes in the expressions of many monks, Li Xiuyuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his gaze to look at the army of monsters outside the city.
……
At this moment, Lieyan Tianshi looked at the motionless Demon Yu City and seemed to have lost his patience.
It thought that by roaring and clamoring, it could lure the human monks here and fight with them.
As everyone knows, the top leaders of the human monks have plans to challenge them.
In this way, if the monster army does not take the initiative to attack the defensive formation of the Demon Control City, they will not easily go out to fight.
After all, human monks are protected by formations, so there is no need to be so impatient. They can completely use the power of formations to consume the living power of a wave of monsters and reduce the burden on the monk army as much as possible.
Under such circumstances, Chen Jingtian and the others were completely calm and were not affected by the monster's despicable tricks at all.
outside the city.
Monster beasts like the Blazing Heavenly Lion have fiery tempers, their intelligence cannot be compared with that of humans, and they don't have much patience at all.
Seeing that there was no movement in the Demon City for a long time, they roared angrily, no matter how provocative they were, it was useless.
At this time, it roared angrily towards Demon Control City, wanting to vent its dissatisfaction.
However, Yuyao City is still calm, and there is no sign of coming out at all.
Seeing this, the Flame Heavenly Lion turned his head and roared at several third-level monsters not far away, as if they were communicating with each other.
As several third-level monsters roared at each other, they soon reached an agreement.
However, these actions between the third-level monsters were clearly seen by Chen Jingtian in the attic, and he immediately understood that the monsters were about to take action.
At this time, Chen Jingtian's expression was still calm. He looked at his fellow disciples who were still relatively calm, and then began to give instructions.
"Senior Brother Wang, the monsters are probably about to attack. We'll try our old trick again later and use formations to consume them in a wave. Let's kill them again and wait for a while with these beasts!"
"Okay... Junior Brother Chen, don't worry, I'll leave this matter to my brother!"
After Wang Hengqiu replied, he immediately took out the name tag that controlled the formation and prepared for the attack.
"Hoohoho..."
At this moment, a deafening roar rang out again outside the city, accompanied by vibrations caused by bursts of footsteps, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"The monster attack is coming!"
Chen Jingtian muttered to himself, and then looked at the oncoming army of monsters with a fearful expression.
At this time, Lin Tianming and others also looked solemn, and they all opened their eyes wide, staring at every move of the monster army.
Looking around, many monster beasts, led by the Lieyan Tianshi, surged towards the Demon Control City.
Tens of thousands of demonic beasts rushed over. The powerful momentum and scene still made people feel their scalp numb and their breathing could not help but become rapid.
Although many monks have seen such a scene before, it is still shocking to see it again.
"Kick...kick..."
As the army of monsters got closer and closer, Wang Hengqiu pinched the spell in his hand, and a stream of spiritual light bombarded the prepared token.
In an instant, a spiritual light suddenly flashed on the invisible and colorless formation light screen, and the color became obviously brighter.
At the same time, the spiritual energy in the area covered by the formation suddenly became chaotic, blowing and roaring out with gusts of wind.
"Rumble..."
The monster army was very fast, and the powerful body of the Flame Heavenly Lion collided with the light screen of the defensive formation.
At the same time, it was closely followed by tens of thousands of monsters, all of which were incapable of long-range attacks.
And those monsters with long-range attacks, under the leadership of the blood dragon, launched a large number of attacks and smashed towards the formation light screen.
Such a huge number of monsters attacked indiscriminately from all angles, flying all over the sky for a while, covering the sky, causing the world with clear skies to suddenly become dark.
"Bang bang bang..."
A loud bang was heard, and the powerful impact of the monster shook the entire land.
As the round of attacks ended, the defensive formation shook slightly and quickly returned to its original state.
The formation has been tested before, and it is really unrealistic for these monster beasts, whose number has decreased, to break through the formation in a short time.
However, before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, the attacks of the monster beasts came again, as if they would not stop until they achieved their goals.
Seeing this situation, Wang Hengqiu snorted coldly, and the token in his hand glowed brightly, directly activating the formation.
"Rumble..." A thunderous sound sounded in the sky.
Immediately afterwards, the light on the array light screen continued to flicker, and the pale golden beam formed a sharp contrast with the slightly gloomy sky.
Looking around, in the dark sky, a large number of fireball beams were overwhelming, pouring down towards the army of monsters below.
At this time, several third-order monster beasts of the Raging Flame Heavenly Lion remained unmoved and continued to attack the formation light curtain.
Although these attacks are not weak, they do not have much effect on them, and there is no need to dodge at all.
However, the first- and second-order monsters behind the third-order monsters cannot be ignored. They hit the formation light screen while moving quickly to avoid the attacks prompted by the , the number and density of the monster beast army were too great. Even if some monster beasts were able to escape, many monster beasts were still killed by the attacks triggered by the formation.
For a moment, there were bursts of screams on the battlefield, and a large number of monsters were buried here.
At this moment, the Fiery Sky Lion, as the leader of the monster army, was completely unmoved in the face of such changes.
After all, the monster army has already experienced it once, and he is very clear about the attack power of the formation.
Under such circumstances, the Fiery Sky Lion still took the initiative to launch an attack. Naturally, it wanted to anger the human monks and was also prepared to sacrifice some of the monsters.
In the attic on the city wall, Chen Jingtian stared at the scene below and couldn't help but sigh.
With the end of the first round of attacks, the results achieved were obviously inferior to any previous ones.
Obviously, the number of besieging monsters has been reduced, and the space for movement is larger, making it easier for the monsters to evade.
In addition to this, the bigger reason is that the monster army knows a lot about the attack of the formation. It is really unrealistic to achieve the first effect after being prepared.
Look at the colors on the array light screen gradually fading, and the power becomes more and more limited as time passes. If this continues for a long time, the energy will be exhausted sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Chen Jingtian and others felt helpless, but there was nothing they could do to change the situation.
After regaining his composure, Chen Jingtian sighed, and then said, "Senior Brother Wang, if you insist on attacking for a few rounds, prepare for the monk army to launch an attack!"
"Well……"
Wang Hengqiu nodded in response, then controlled the formation and launched another attack.
……
A cup of tea is over.
After several rounds of formation attacks, the size of the monster army was reduced by part, and a large number of first-order monsters died outside the city.
However, although the number of monster beasts has been significantly reduced, the losses of the second-level monster beasts, which are the backbone of the monster beast army, are not too large, with only more than three hundred animals.
As for the top-level third-level monsters, they were not affected at all.
On the city wall, everyone's eyes were wide open, staring at every move of the monsters outside the city.
Looking around, the corpses and remains of monster beasts all over the ground, as well as the blood-stained land, still looked shocking.
Lin Tianming looked at the bloody battlefield, frowned, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
"The traces of the previous war have finally been purified. It has only been so long before it looks like this again."
Fortunately, no one knew about his thoughts, otherwise others would have been surprised. After all, at this critical moment, who would care about such insignificant things.
After coming back to his senses, he looked at the changes on the formation's light screen, thinking that the effect of the formation's attack would no longer have much effect.
Under such circumstances, the army of monks should be almost ready to dispatch.
With his own prediction, he turned to look at Chen Jingtian and others in the attic, and secretly made preparations.
At this moment, Chen Jingtian, who had not expressed anything for a long time, his loud voice spread throughout the Demon Yu City.
"Everyone, you can get ready. After the next round of attacks, follow me and the others to fight out of the city!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the monks took out their weapons and gathered with their respective team members to prepare for the next battle.
At this moment, Lin Tianming and Li Xiuyuan looked at each other, and then nodded to each other.
Li Xiuyuan has already said what needs to be said. All the team members have gone through a run-in and achieved remarkable results. They are also mentally prepared for the upcoming battle.
Soon, as the formation's light curtain cracked a huge hole, the smell of blood on the battlefield, mixed with smoke and dust, poured into the formation.
Chen Jingtian and several Jindan cultivators were the first to bear the brunt and immediately rushed out of the area covered by the formation's light curtain.
As the Golden Core cultivators fought their way out, the foundation-building cultivators on the city wall were not to be left behind, and followed in the footsteps of Chen Jingtian and others.
Lin Tianming closely followed the steps of Li Xiuyuan and Hu Yuan, and took Qin Xi out of the formation together.
Behind them, the Qi Refining monks poured out from the wide opening like a flood.
Soon, the army of monks walked out of the formation in a very short period of time and lined up in the open space outside the formation.
At this time, the monster army retreated several miles as soon as the formation light curtain opened.
A huge group of monster beasts were waiting in place in groups. The leader, the Flame Heavenly Lion, cautiously stared at Chen Jingtian at the front with a fearful expression.
The power of spiritual arts performed by Chen Jingtian and others still lingered in their minds.
Even the late third-level Fiery Heavenly Lion felt the breath of death under the spiritual skills activated by Chen Jingtian.
In this way, even if it is powerful, it still dare not take it lightly, lest it die on this battlefield.
Looking at the extremely fearful Lieyan Tianshi, Chen Jingtian also looked solemn.
The third-level monsters probably didn't know that they wouldn't be able to activate that spiritual technique in a short period of time.
Otherwise, these safe distances will not be retreated at all.
Only a few of them are aware of this hidden danger. Without this trump card, the next battle will definitely not be easy.
Just when he was distracted, the monster beast group also did not dare to take action easily.
At this time, the two tribes of humans and beasts were waiting in place, sizing up and testing each other. The atmosphere seemed quite strange, and the scene reached a deadlock for a while.
Lin Tianming looked at the tense confrontation and knew that this was just the calm before the war.
With the violent character of late-level third-level monsters, they will never be frightened by the momentum of human monks. It is only a matter of time before they take the lead.
Sure enough, after a moment of silence, with the roar of the Flame Heavenly Lion, the huge group of monster beasts began to move forward, as if they were about to launch an attack.
The leading Fiery Sky Lion immediately launched an attack, directly targeting Chen Jingtian.
Seeing this situation, Chen Jingtian shouted angrily: "Do it!"
Before he finished speaking, he jumped up, fired the spell in his hand, and rays of light came out of his hand.
Behind him, Wang Hengqiu and others immediately followed his footsteps and still adopted the same strategy as the first battle.
During the first battle, four people formed a battle formation with two third-level spirit beasts, taking into account each other's combined efforts, and then they were able to defeat the more numerous and stronger third-level monsters.
The same is true now. The four of them formed a battle formation that took care of each other and tried to maximize the team's advantages.
As Chen Jingtian and others took action, they were fighting with the monster beasts led by the Flame Sky Lion in the higher sky.
Lin Tianming and other foundation-building monks, together with the team members, fought together with the group of second-level monsters.
At this time, the battlefield was extremely chaotic, and there were sounds of fighting between the two sides in the huge area.
