Chapter 277 Soul-Seeking and Wind-Chasing Formation
"A hoarse, lung-breaking scream?" Wang Jingrong muttered, then turned to Xing Ling and said: "It seems that they were attacked, but I and I wondered what kind of attack they encountered, so they sent out a distress signal. Don’t have any time?” Wang Jingrong said with a frown.
"You're right, that's a large team of a thousand people. Even if they encounter several times the number of zombies, they can still resist it for a while!" Xing Ling also looked gloomy.
"In this case, let's send the Griffin Knights to investigate and see if we can find any clues." Wang Jingrong suggested.
"Okay, let's send the Griffin Knight over." Xing Ling agreed.
Soon, the griffin scouts were dispatched, but not long after, the griffin came back.
"How's it going? Have you found any clues about the lost troops?" Wang Jingrong asked the scout anxiously.
"Reporting to Commander Wang, the entire Jiayuguan Pass is now shrouded in sandstorms and is inaccessible at all!" the scout reported.
"What? Sandstorms, don't they only exist deep in the desert? How come this thing appears in Jiayuguan?" Xing Ling next to him asked very differently.
"Reporting to Commander Xing, we don't know the specific reason, but I can feel magical energy from this sandstorm." The scout continued.
"Is there magic energy? I asked Commander Xing, could this be the fault of the Western Region Empire?" Wang Jingrong said with a frown.
"Is it really possible? How else could such an unnatural thing happen by such a coincidence?"
"Then what should we do next?" Wang Jingrong was also helpless about this situation.
"It seems that we can only ask for help." Xing Ling said.
"Please ask for help? Who?"
"The dean of the Magic Academy, he should know the secret of this."
"Dean of the Magic Academy?" Wang Jingrong had never been to a magic academy for training, so he had no idea about this. Therefore, he had no idea who the dean of the Magic Academy was.
"The dean of the Magic Academy has very deep attainments in magic. Sources say that he has reached the top level of master. If there is an opportunity, he will be promoted to the saint level. Even many of the magic weapons we use now are his participation. Designed." Xing Ling rarely showed admiration. He was abused by the old magician in the magic academy.
"Okay, then what are we waiting for? Send a letter to Brother Li quickly and ask him to invite the dean!" Wang Jingrong said anxiously.
"Okay, I'll send the message right away!" Xing Ling didn't hesitate and quickly sent the message to Li Yuanhong.
When Li Yuanhong received the message, he was freezing in the wasteland. Due to the attack of zombies, Li Yuanhong was forced to repair in the wasteland. However, the wasteland was not only dry and cold, but also lacked supplies. If he wanted to continue moving forward, he did not have sufficient supplies. It can be said that It is difficult to move even an inch. Moreover, if you want to enter Xinjiang Province, you have to cross the Altyn Mountains, which is a place with a more severe climate. Not only is the climate unpredictable, but there are also many dangerous terrains. If zombies set up an ambush inside, it will be even more terrifying. .
However, just when Li Yuanhong was worried, he suddenly received a message from Xing Ling, which made Li Yuanhong even more headache. He originally thought that the progress on the northern line would be smoother, but he didn't know that the difficulties there were no worse than his own, so Li Yuanhong immediately sent a message to Sakhalin Information, let the old magician come to help.
Two days later, the magician brought a group of half-grown children to the Jiuquan base. When Wang Jingrong saw these children, he was shocked: "Principal Magician, you...how did you lead these half-grown children to the battlefield?!"
It turned out that these children were the apprentices from the magic school, Huang Xiaopeng and the others, and as soon as these little guys arrived on the battlefield, they were eager to try, without any sense of nervousness at all, as if they had arrived not at the battlefield, but at an amusement park.
"It's nothing. The holiday is not far away now. I will bring them here to practice. They can't just study in school all the time. According to what you people on earth say, practice is called true knowledge!" the magic principal said nonchalantly.
"Practice? This is a battlefield, and people can die at any time. They are still half-grown children!" Did Wang Jingrong know that among these children, there are Li Luoxia's younger brothers and sisters. If something goes wrong with them, he is responsible for it. That’s big!
"Who said we are children? We are all adults!" Huang Xiaopeng pouted and retorted. Although two years have passed since the end of the world and he is already fifteen years old, in Wang Jingrong's eyes, they are still Children, but Huang Xiaopeng is always worried about this.
"They said you are not a child. Have you grown hair on your chin?" Wang Jingrong's eyes widened and he gave a reason that Huang Xiaopeng could not refute.
"You're a tall man. Besides, Uncle Wang, you have so much hair on your chin, why are you beaten so hard by zombies that you can't move forward!" Huang Xiaopeng asked Wang Jingrong with a playful smile.
"You..." Wang Jingrong was speechless when asked this question.
"Okay, Xiaopeng, don't make trouble here." The magic principal stopped Huang Xiaopeng from making trouble, then turned back to Wang Jingrong and said, "What problem did you encounter?"
"That's it. Two days ago, we sent a frontline unit to Jiayuguan to investigate the situation. Suddenly they lost contact. Then I sent a scout to see the situation and found that Jiayuguan was surrounded by a sandstorm. Our forward troops may also be I was trapped in a sandstorm, and the sandstorm was full of energy. I suspect that the sandstorm was not naturally formed." Wang Jingrong introduced the situation.
"Oh, there is another situation. Let's go to the sandstorm area and have a look." The old magician said with interest.
"You just arrived, do you want to take a rest?" Wang Jingrong was afraid that the old magician would be tired, so he wanted the old magician to rest before talking.
"No, it's just a practical lesson for these little guys. In this case, you can just send someone to escort us there." The old magician said.
"Okay, I'll take you there." Wang Jingrong said.
"Commander Xing, you are here to look after the house. If anything happens, I will contact you in time." Wang Jingrong said to Xing Ling.
"Okay, bring more people and pay more attention to safety!" Xing Ling said with concern.
"Okay, I'll take the special guards there." Wang Jingrong thought for a moment and said.
In the afternoon of that day, Wang Jingrong led the special guards to protect the teachers and students of the Magic Academy and arrived ten kilometers outside Jiayuguan. At this time, Jiayuguan was no longer visible. In front of them, there was a wind wall spanning dozens of miles. , inside the wind wall, there was a lot of yellow sand, and no one could be seen on the opposite side. Moreover, the wind wall went straight through the sky and was hundreds of meters high. The naughty Huang Xiaopeng picked up a stone and threw it into the wind wall. As a result, the stone hit the wind wall. , was directly ejected, and at the moment the stone was ejected, a small ripple appeared on the surface of the wind wall.
The old magician stroked his long white beard and squinted his eyes slightly. After looking at it for a long time, he turned back to his academy and said: "Children, I have a question for you today. What kind of magic does this wind wall consist of? "
"Teacher, this is not simple. This wind wall must have wind elements, and this is a desert. The wind will gather sand and dust, and naturally there will be earth elements." Huang Xiaopeng answered quickly.
"Well, is there anything else?" The old magician stroked his beard, nodded and asked.
"And...and..." Huang Xiaopeng scratched the back of his head with his hand and stared blankly at the huge wind wall. He really didn't know what else was there.
The old magician looked at the others, and the other students also had expressions of ignorance. Obviously they did not have a better answer. Only Li Hongyun's eyes were slightly thoughtful, so the old magician asked Li Hongyun: "Hongyun, you What do you think?"
"Teacher, I feel that there are waves of cold air in this wind wall. Although it is winter now, this cold air makes people feel like they are deep in the bone marrow, so I always feel that there is something in this wind wall. The power of darkness is there." Li Yuanhong replied.
"Well, Xiao Hongyun is still very observant. Yes, this wind wall contains the cold power of darkness. This magic array is an intermediate magic array of the Necrons. The soul-seeking wind array, look at this wind wall. In terms of scale, this magic array should be no less than a hundred miles in diameter. It would consume a lot of living sacrifices, and at least one hundred thousand creatures would have to be killed to complete this array. What a sin!" the old magician sighed.
"What, you want to kill a hundred thousand creatures?" Wang Jingrong who was on the side was very shocked. Now a hundred thousand people can be considered a large gathering place. The Western Empire, in order to create such a wind wall, actually caused such a murder.
"Well, a hundred thousand souls are nothing. I once encountered their master-level formation that created millions of souls for sacrifice. The killing energy of that formation is the most powerful. As long as a living person touches that formation, human life will be lost." The firepower will be sucked away instantly. If several saint-level light mages hadn't jointly used the light magic circle later, that big array would have killed so many people!" The old magician sighed with emotion.
Wang Jingrong was stunned for a moment after hearing what the old magician said, but in order to save his troops inside the wind wall, he asked: "Principal, do you have a way to break this magic circle?"
"It's relatively easy to break this formation. Their formation has just started, and the undead energy extracted from nature is not heavy inside. Therefore, the weak points of the formation are easy to break through. You let your kind of planes and spaceships fly to this wind In the center of the formation, there is the eye of the wind. The eye of the current wind formation should be very wide. If you let the plane drop powerful bombs down the eye of the wind, it will explode the eye of the formation. This wind formation will not The attack has been defeated!" the old magician said easily.
"Ah? So simple?" Wang Jingrong didn't expect that such a powerful wind formation could be broken so easily.
"Easy? Do you know how many people would have to die to break through this formation without your kind of bombs that can be thrown vertically? The eye of the storm is not that big, as long as the thing thrown is a little bit deflected, it will be swept up by the storm. Go, including magic attacks and other objects. Fortunately, you have invented bombs that can be thrown vertically and missiles that can be controlled by yourself, which makes the weakness of this wind array so obvious. Okay, hurry up and arrange to drop the bombs. The time is If you delay, the diameter of the eye of the storm will become even smaller." The old magician waved his hand impatiently and chased Wang Jingrong away like a fly.
Wang Jingrong quickly went to arrange to break the formation. The old magician turned around and explained to the students the principles and functions of this formation, as well as related knowledge of formations. The old magician really regarded this place as on-site teaching.
Half an hour later, the two planes flew straight towards the wind wall. The 100-meter-high wind wall could not stop the planes at all. The height of 100 meters could only be regarded as the minimum safe height for planes to fly, so the planes easily It flew directly above the wind wall, and then at the eye of the wind wall, and then four artificially guided micro missiles plunged straight into the eye of the wind. After a few seconds, there was a violent explosion in the eye of the wind. The explosion caused an even louder explosion, and a strong flame shot out from the entire eye of the storm, rushing straight towards the aircraft several hundred meters high. It almost knocked down the two aircraft. Fortunately, the two aircraft were able to survive. Wonderful, quickly raised the altitude and evacuated urgently.
