Chapter 228 Ambush and Containment
The carriage moved forward slowly, and I don't know how long it took.
"Whoosh." A figure rose into the air from the mountain on the left side behind the carriage and flew in the other direction.
An hour later, he fell into a forest on a hilltop.
"Master, this old slave thinks that it is best to set up an ambush in this valley. This is the only place they must pass on their way back to Tiandou City. It will take more than half a day to go around, so I don't think they will choose it. "
"In addition, there are rocky mountains on both sides here, and there are no mountains and forests around it. This can prevent the girls from using the terrain to escape. And we can be condescending and hide in the rock crevices or on the top of the mountain. They will definitely not be able to see them when they look up. In addition, we are moving now. , we will definitely arrive before they enter the valley." After hearing the report from the disciples of the Min clan, Tai Tan's eyes suddenly brightened, he looked down at the map on the stone and pointed at a red cross mark.
"Well, let's start the transfer."
Tang Hao responded calmly.
Soon, figures jumped up or flew away, quickly running in one direction.
After everyone left, "chirp." A magpie flew out from the tree above the head and flew in the other direction.
After a long flight, we finally arrived above a carriage.
It slowly fell on the palm of Lin Manshan, who was waiting in the car.
After a while, he spread his wings and flew high again.
"Fight!" shouted softly, and the carriage started running again.
It wasn't until the sun set in the west and the mountains could be glimpsed in the sky ahead that the carriage slowly stopped in the shade of the forest on one side.
In the car, Zhu Zhuyun, Zhu Zhuyu, and Shui Yue'er simultaneously stretched out their hands and placed them on Lin Manshan's back and shoulders.
It wasn't until his face gradually turned pale as time passed that he withdrew.
Lin Manshan turned his head slightly and said softly: "Zhuyun, Zhuyu, Yue'er, the three of you will wait here."
"Well, be more careful." The three of them nodded and told them as they got up and followed Lin Manshan out of the carriage. Shui Ziliu and Bai Xue followed them out at the same time. As soon as their feet landed on the ground, they spread their wings behind them and flew away on one side.
Lin Manshan was sitting in the driver's seat, watching the three women walk into the forest, then reined in the horse, drove back to the road, and continued to move forward.
After about half an hour, I looked up and saw a valley surrounded by mountains. The entrance was dozens of meters wide, and the hills on both sides were fairly low.
But as the sight continues to deepen, the mountains gradually rise and the roads begin to become narrower.
Moreover, the forest-covered earth mountains gradually turned into bare stone mountains.
Looking from a distance, you can only vaguely see a few knotted pines and cypresses and a large number of low shrubs and weeds growing between the rocks.
"Ha, it is indeed a natural ambush site." Feeling the dozen souls on the mountain tops on both sides in front of him, Lin Manshan sneered in his heart, but his expression was calm, and he kept the carriage moving at a constant speed. Gradually, the road became narrower, less than twenty meters at its widest point, and the mountains on both sides became extremely steep. The gentle breeze in the valley echoed through the cracks in the mountain.
"Xilululu" The horse seemed frightened by the sound, raised its head in panic and neighed.
At this moment, a horrifying aura erupted above his head. Lin Manshan looked up and saw Tang Hao suspended in the air directly above him, as well as a dark giant hammer with a handle of more than ten meters long above his head. The moment he caught a glimpse, it turned into a stream of light and crashed down.
Even Haotian Jiujue was used. He wanted to kill me directly with one blow. Lin Manshan frowned slightly.
"Tang Hao, you are so brave!" There was a sharp shout, the curtains slightly raised, and Dugu Bo jumped out of the carriage. "Martial spirit true form!" In an instant, he transformed into a giant green dragon and soared up. His palms were instantly dyed with jade, with lines like dragon scales. His waist twisted, and he punched the giant in the air in a strange posture. hammer.
Lin Manshan has already integrated Haotian's Jiujue power skills into the Dragon Capturing Technique, and he has also learned it.
Used in conjunction with Lian Yushou, both defense and strength will be greatly enhanced.
"The eighth soul skill, time freezing."
During the flight, a semicircular light curtain spread out, covering all the hammer shadows above his head, and Tang Hao's figure froze for an instant. Immediately, the dragon head arrived, fist and hammer met, "Bang!" There was an explosion in the air, and a powerful wave of air swayed, instantly shattering the mountains on both sides, rocks flying, and Tang Hao was also in the air with his hammer. was repulsed.
"Dugu Bo has actually broken through to level 94!?" Tang Hao looked surprised.
If he didn't use Ring Explosion, level 94 Dugu Bo's eighth soul skill would be enough to control him briefly.
In the midst of his thoughts, the horse on the ground, which had been frightened by the power of Dugu Bo's martial spirit and dared not move, was frightened by the sudden loud noise and kicked up its legs on the spot.
Amidst the sharp neighing sound, in just the blink of an eye, he passed through the area of falling rocks and ran wildly forward.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo immediately flew to follow him, spreading poisonous mist as he flew, blocking Tang Hao's sight.
"Leave me to stay." Tang Hao's eyes were bright and his tone was indifferent.
No matter how fast the carriage is, how can it pass the Titled Douluo faster?
In the midst of his thoughts, he stepped forward, speeding up again, bypassing the poisonous fog, and heading straight towards the direction of the carriage.
The carriage was no faster than Tang Hao. Of course Dugu Bo knew that, and he also knew that Tang Hao was making an attack in the east. The real purpose was to force him to intercept and delay him from catching up with the carriage, so as to create a distance between Bai He and Tai Tan.
"Damn it!" He pretended to be angry, shouted lowly, turned around and struck the dragon to swing its tail.
Tang Hao, who had already flown to one side, struck with a swing of his hand.
"Bang!" There was another explosion in the air, and the horse in front ran faster.
After all, the Clear Sky Hammer is a weapon spirit. Tang Hao himself does not have the ability to fly, but relies on his powerful cultivation to move in the air. After forcefully catching the dragon's tail that Dugu Bo had drawn with all his strength, the soul power under his feet that kept him in the air was suddenly a little confused, and his body became unstable and was inevitably shaken back by the aftermath. On the other side, Dugu Bo was also shaken by the Clear Sky Hammer and moved a certain distance to one side.
"Dugu Bo, you will definitely die today." Tang Hao snorted, and with a glance from the corner of his eye, he saw that the carriage had run away, and the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand was suddenly raised.
"Explode the rings!" As he finished speaking, one, two, and three soul rings under his feet were broken one after another, and his whole body's aura suddenly surged.
"In this state, your control has no effect on me." His tone was stern and confident.
"Indeed, my soul skill control is indeed difficult to take effect on you now. However, my life is extremely poisonous, do you dare to force it?" Dugu Bo responded coldly.
"The battle that year left some hidden wounds in your body. Don't think I can't see it."
"If you were the one who took that crystal blood dragon ginseng, maybe I would be a little more afraid of you. But now you are still injured, so why should I be afraid!"
"With the intensity of my poison, if I inhale it casually, the hidden wounds in your body may explode."
"Tang Hao, do you dare to gamble with your life?"
"Then it depends on whether your poison is faster or my Clear Sky Hammer is faster!" Tang Hao's eyes flickered.
Then it turned into black light and rushed straight towards Dugu Bo.
"Hahaha, that's good." Dugu Bo was not afraid to laugh back, "Tang Hao, I just want to lend you a hand to test the results of my two years of cultivation. I also learned a few tricks from my grandson-in-law." After that, he held up his hands. With a sudden movement, the originally huge Wuhun avatar was instantly compressed, shrinking back to the same size as Dugu Bo in just the blink of an eye. The next moment, the entire dragon body was submerged into Dugu Bo's body.
"Drink!" There was a loud shout, and the clothes all over his body burst.
"Is this?!" Tang Hao frowned immediately.
Within sight, Dugu Bo had dragon horns on his head, his eyes had vertical pupils, his exposed upper body including his arms were covered with dragon scales, and his hands and exposed toes had turned into dragon claws. And behind it is a long dragon tail. The body was surrounded by a faint blue mist, and the whole body was suspended in the air, like a light cloud.
"Dragon transformation of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex family?"
My mind immediately started to guess.
"Tang Hao, from now on, all my attacks will have poison attributes. I want to see how much you can dodge?" Dugu Bo said coldly again.
His current form is the second stage of his martial spirit true body, the dragon form.
The name he gave himself.
After Lin Manshan learned that the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Dragon Soul had the talent of dragon transformation, he had observed the effects of Zhu Zhuyun, Dugu Yan, Shui Bing'er, and other soul masters with beast martial souls after they used their martial souls to possess them.
After a soul master who possesses a beast martial spirit activates the spirit's possession, his body will exhibit animalistic characteristics to a certain extent. For example, with a cat martial spirit, his eyes will change into vertical pupils and a cat tail will grow. Rabbit Wuhun, grows rabbit ears, etc.
Some soul masters even transform their bodies after awakening their martial souls, displaying animalistic characteristics.
And it is an irreversible transformation.
In the Tiandou City auction house, there were records of auctions of Catwoman and Snake Woman, all of which were in this situation.
In Lin Manshan's view, these are all manifestations of some kind of fusion between the soul master himself and the martial soul.
Later, Lin Manshan found him and asked him to use his martial soul avatar, and then asked a question.
Why is it that after a soul master with a beast martial soul turns on the possession of a martial soul, his body will show the characteristics of a beast, but the impact will be very small, and the main form will still be human.
But once the martial spirit true form is used, the body must transform more into the beast form?
For example, when Xiong Wuhun uses his martial soul avatar, his body will expand several times, and the hair on his body will grow greatly, making him almost the same as a real giant bear. In this way, although the physical attributes have been enhanced, isn't the excessive size a flaw?
During combat, not only will the body's attack surface be greatly increased, but the flexibility of a human being will also be greatly reduced.
Another example is the Dragon Soul, if it really transforms into the form of a giant dragon, doesn't that mean it becomes a target? Moreover, the soul power consumption for maintenance will also increase greatly, which is obviously not a good thing.
Therefore, why can't we maintain the increase brought by the martial spirit avatar, but the form is mainly human?
So Lin Manshan speculated that perhaps this was a sign that the soul master and the martial soul had not yet been perfectly integrated.
The real body of the martial spirit may have a spirit master that has achieved a high degree of integration with the martial spirit, and is even connected to its own bloodline, achieving a form of returning to its original nature and its true self. The dragon transformation talent of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus family may be a manifestation of the soul master himself, who has expanded his bloodline, is highly compatible with the martial soul, and achieved fusion. Although the martial soul avatar has not been used, the effect has already appeared.
If the first stage of the martial soul's true form is the external appearance, then the second stage is the inner Na.
No matter what animal form a beast spirit master manifests after he displays his martial spirit form, ultimately, it is the spirit master's own energy that is at work.
Wouldn't it be a waste to leave this energy exposed and rapidly consumed without restraint in the battle?
Wouldn't it be more beneficial to put this energy back into the body and only use it when needed?
The increase brought by the martial spirit avatar has not changed, the attack intensity is even higher, but the consumption is smaller, the body is more flexible, etc.
When Lin Manshan proposed these ideas, he was shocked for a long time. However, Lin Manshan did not have a beast spirit, so he could not experiment. But he kept trying. Later, Dugu Yan and Shui Bing'er used the martial soul fusion skill to display the martial soul avatar in advance, and then used it to realize the ability to fly, which once again confirmed this possibility. So he stepped up his research efforts.
And after the poisonous core in his body was successfully condensed, his soul power control also achieved another breakthrough.
After returning to the academy, I just gave it a small try and it became a success.
In those days, he felt that the toilet smelled good.
In the midst of his thoughts, he glanced at Tang Hao from the corner of his eye and said secretly: Tang Hao, this form of me can last much longer than the ordinary martial spirit true body. Next, let’s have fun
At this moment, Tang Hao waved the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.
Dugu Bo stepped in the air with his toes, used the force under his feet, and floated away to avoid it.
Borrowing force in the air is still worse than stepping on the ground. With this thought, he quickly turned around and flew to the top of the mountain. As he flew, he thought, "The Clear Sky Hammer is a weapon spirit after all, and its attack range is limited. Moreover, It is relatively bulky, with purple rosy pupils, and the attack trajectory can be easily identified. If I perform Jinghong Step on the ground, my speed will be faster than flying in the air, so it is not difficult to dodge."
"Unless Tang Hao blows up the 100,000-year-old soul ring, it is almost impossible to catch up with me."
"Oh, you are restraining me, so why am I not restraining you?"
"Head-on, I'm not a fool. Once Bai He and Tai Tai are dealt with, see if we can surround you and beat you up."
On Bai He's side, he should be about to take action. Tang Hao glanced into the distance with his peripheral vision while chasing.
Then he turned around, feeling inexplicably aggrieved in his heart. He felt that Dugu Bo was now like a loach, saying all kinds of things, but not hitting him head-on.
After changing form, the flexibility is indeed higher, and the whole person feels light and airy.
There should be poisonous mist lingering around his body, and he really didn't dare to get too close. And the blow he dodged just now gave him a very weird feeling.
It was as if Dugu Bo had predicted his attack in advance and dodged it just in time.
"If I hadn't been injured secretly, I wouldn't be able to use my full strength, and I wouldn't be sure to kill with one strike." He gritted his teeth, "Exploding three soul rings in a row would be enough to keep me in check on Dugu Bo at this speed. And with this, With the strength of Tai Tan and Bai He, they should be able to easily defeat Lin Manshan and others. When they come with their men, I will be able to find an opportunity and explode with strength to resolve the battle."
And at this moment, "Boom!" Violent soul power fluctuations suddenly broke out in another section of the valley.
As soon as his feet landed on the stone wall, Dugu Bo's expression suddenly changed and he hurried over.
"The fourth soul ring, explode!" As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao's figure suddenly appeared on the stone wall in front of him.
"Dugu Bo, your speed is indeed amazing, but it's not enough to get around me." He said with an indifferent expression.
"The majestic Haotian Douluo actually intercepted and killed, and also sent people to bully the small, which is really despicable!" Dugu Bo yelled.
"It's useless to talk more." Tang Hao's tone was calm, and he attacked with his hammer at an extremely fast speed.
This time, Dugu Bo barely escaped and continued running.
Tang Hao accelerated and struck from behind, but was dodged again, but Dugu Bo was also restrained and could only dodge.
One is acting, and the other is really worried that if he explodes too much strength at once, the energy returned to him after the ring explosion will be quickly consumed, and at the same time, the speed increase will be weakened, and the body may even fall into weakness or cause hidden injuries.
The key is, you can't hit it with one hit.
The two sides immediately entered a slow rhythm of chasing each other.
PS: Damn, the more I write, the more I write. I'll keep my attendance intact first, and I'll continue coding tonight and try to finish writing this battle.
