"My benefactor, this is not right. The battlefield is dangerous; weapons can strike without mercy. This woman..."
Huanlong's heart stirred slightly. She really wanted to observe and experience the power of the Dragon God up close, but she still had to maintain the persona of Tingyun and put on a resistant posture of being afraid of being accidentally hurt.
"My greatsword is itching for a fight!"
Ignoring the dedicated performance of Huanlong, Qiong rubbed the Sword King's Sword on his arm.
Xing followed the sky's gaze and saw the bountiful spirit beast that was surrounded by more than a dozen cloud riders but was still difficult to subdue.
"Holy crap, ape!"
"Roar~!"
A deafening roar, resembling a giant ape, standing eight or nine meters tall, with bulging muscles and wing-like mane, an ancient war beast recreated through the abundant power of the Jianmu tree, with a long right arm.
boom!
With a series of wild and unrestrained moves, he unleashed a brutal and violent aesthetic, sending the Cloud Cavalry warriors surrounding him flying.
If it weren't for the Cloud Cavalry's armor providing considerable defense, this attack would have surely turned them into Cloud Cavalry mincemeat.
"It's the Demon God Mech!"
"Reinforcements have arrived!"
The remaining Cloud Rider warriors' expressions darkened, but their worries turned to joy the moment they saw the black and gold mech.
"Ape God, prepare to die!"
The eight- or nine-meter-tall ape-like behemoth is a giant compared to the Cloud Riders. It has high attack, high health, and strong recovery, making it the worst of the worst monsters.
But compared to the 37-meter-tall Dragon God, it's just a miniature monkey; two swords from the 40-meter-tall Sword King, and it's four pieces.
The Ape God Changyou was already considered an elite force in the battle between the Medicine King's Secret Teachings and the Cloud Cavalry.
The already declining Medicine King's Secret Sect suffered a crushing defeat after the Dragon God and War God joined the attack.
……
"Have Qingju retreat and shift the battlefield to the direction of Yaoge or Qingnangge."
Inside the cave, there is the Guanyi Terrace, which is the highest point of the Dan Ding Si (丹鼎司) area. From there, one can have a panoramic view of the entire Dan Ding Si cave.
Watching her followers retreat in defeat and the abundant spirit beasts being wiped out, she was filled with rage and ordered her subordinates to make a strategic retreat.
The Medicine Pavilion is where the Pill Cauldron Department stores pills and medicinal herbs. The Cloud Cavalry will not use weapons of mass destruction unless absolutely necessary.
The Qingnang Pavilion is surrounded by numerous buildings and narrow alleyways with complex terrain, which can limit the width of the battle line. Even if the number of Cloud Cavalry is large, only a few vanguard can fight.
Despite numerous countermeasures, the pace of defeat could only be slightly slowed, not reversed. Dan Shu slammed his fist on the railing.
"hateful!"
Who is it!?
"Who did this?!"
The Medicine King's secret teachings have been dormant for a thousand years, but it is still impossible for them to confront the Cloud Cavalry Army head-on. What evil cult could secretly develop to the level of a national army?
Even with the secretly prepared abundant spirit beasts, it's still not enough!
The Ascension Pills accumulated over the years are the true secret weapon passed down by the Medicine King, used to fight against the hounds under the command of the Demon Bow Ancestor.
However, most of the Immortal Ascension Pills were soaked and destroyed by the waters of the ancient sea, or their medicinal effects were greatly reduced.
Upon receiving the report from her confidante, Dan Shu immediately returned to the secret cave. After inspecting the scene, she was certain that the problem was not with the cave itself.
Someone has broken through the cave!
Let the waters of the ancient sea flow back into it!
When Dan Shu came to this conclusion, his heart was filled with shock and disbelief.
As a veteran of the Immortal Ship, Dan Shu naturally knew the true value of the Immortal Ship's cave-heaven technology; only a powerful being approaching the level of an Envoy could destroy the cave-heaven.
Moreover, it involves destruction; to precisely break a point requires more than just strength!
The high-ranking members of the Medicine King's faction who remained in the secret cave reacted quickly, immediately organizing people to try to salvage the Ascension Pill, but they couldn't stop the flood at all.
Left with no other choice, they opened one secret passage after another to the outside world.
The scene reminded many people of the classic question from the school of physics: If a swimming pool is filled with water while it is being drained, when will it be full?
In short, at the cost of many brothers' lives, the Medicine King's Secret Technique barely managed to preserve some of the Ascension Pills.
It's impossible to fight against the Immortal Ship Cloud Cavalry with the remaining small amount of pill powder!
Dan Shu's composure crumbled!
She even considered stopping the plan.
But that's impossible.
With the power of the Medicine King's secret teachings alone, it's impossible to completely conceal the whereabouts of the 'seed'.
The chief physician of Dan Ding Si was not qualified. The reason why Dan Shu felt confident of victory was because there were traitors within Luo Fu.
The elder of the Vidyadhara clan was determined to make the Vidyadhara clan great again and regain its former glory.
The assistance of the Vidyadhara clan is another reliance for Dan Shu, besides the Extinction King.
At that time, only one step remained before the curtain was raised: the seed... the star core had been handed over to Junqi Dragon Master of the Chiming Clan, who would send someone to put the star core into the root of the Jianmu tree, which was sealed in the Lin Yuan Ancient Sea.
Given the efficiency of communication between the two parties, even if Dan Shu wanted to urgently halt the plan, it would be too late.
Even without his most crucial trump card, Dan Shu had no choice but to grit his teeth and carry out the plan.
Only by burning our bridges can we have a glimmer of hope!
Dan Shu was still unwilling to accept it!
Why is this happening?
For the first time, they had the support of the Great King of Extinction and the Vidyadhara Clan as their internal allies.
The convergence of two exciting events provided even more opportunities to bring the secret teachings of the Medicine King.
What we received should have been a bright future, like a dream... But why did it turn out like this?!
Centuries of painstaking planning and effort vanished inexplicably.
She didn't even know who the mysterious person who broke through the cave was.
The birth of the Abundant Black Deer gave Dan Shu some psychological comfort; things are getting better, things are getting better!
As a result, a Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
The nameless passenger on the Starry Sky Train summoned a strange mech that actually uprooted both the Xuanlu and the Jianmu tree branches of the Construction Bureau!
"Put all the remaining Ascension Pill powder into the Tai Zhen Pill Chamber and the surrounding pill furnaces."
Dan Shu gritted his teeth. He was surrounded by enemies and had nowhere to turn, but even a cornered beast will fight.
"Yes!"
As soon as the order was given, the cultivators who had been preparing by the alchemy furnace threw their medicines into it.
Wisps of mist drifted out from the imposing, enormous alchemy furnace, swirling and forming clouds.
"That should buy us some time."
Dan Shu watched as the smoke spread outwards.
As long as the alchemy furnace remains burning and the clouds and mist swirl around it, the cloud riders will find it impossible to get any closer.
But what happens next?
The remaining pills are few and won't last long. Once the clouds dissipate, we'll likely face the Cloud Cavalry's purge.
Dan Shu paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, frowning, his mind racing, gradually becoming agitated.
No, even if it's a desperate gamble, we must leave a new sprout!
She took out a special communicator and made a call to Gin.
At this moment, Dan Shu was very fortunate to have met Gin before the plan began and even gave him the leader's token.
Given their relatively short acquaintance, and to avoid any unforeseen complications, Dan Shu did not invite Qin Jiu to participate in the plans of the Dan Ding Division.
Given the current situation, Gin is well-suited to be the backup option.
The two sides are not close, and their contact has just begun. It is impossible for Yunqi to trace the other party by following the clues.
Moreover, the other party must have unique secret methods or channels to be able to hide in the immortal ship for such a long time.
The communication rang three times before the other party answered.
"Mr. Gin, I have prepared some core followers. If the plan fails, they will be the seeds for the revival of the Medicine King's secret teachings. Could you please..."
The Dan Shu began to entrust the orphan with the task of managing the elixir.
The regenerative roots, a secret technique passed down by the Medicine King, were entrusted to Gin, a senior figure in the Path of Abundance.
PS:
301
Chapter 301 Difficult for Her?
"……I see."
Dan Shu succinctly explained the current situation.
She needs Gin, a devout follower of the apothecaries, to receive some of the core cultivators who have been transferred from the secret cave.
"Afterwards, I will completely destroy the cave below the Pill Cauldron Division to prevent the Demon Bow's lackeys from tracking down their whereabouts."
As the saying goes, always prepare for the worst.
When the underground secret cave was being built, Dan Shu instructed the craftsmen of the Bureau of Works to use a structure that could never be used in a normal cave.
In special emergency situations, the folded structure can be deconstructed and collapsed, actively destroying the entire cave space.
It will cause a massive earthquake of a spatial and temporal nature, perhaps what could be called a 'space earthquake,' destroying everything inside, including the eight roads connecting it to the outside.
"Hopefully, Mr. Gin can lead them to lie low and wait for the next opportunity to capsize the celestial ship."
Dan Shu lowered his stance and made a request as a junior follower of the pharmacist.
With the lifespan of an immortal being, as long as they wait, they will surely find a suitable opportunity again one day!
"how about you?"
Mr. Gin's cold yet dignified voice came from the other end of the communication line.
"I……"
Just as Dan Shu was about to answer, he heard hurried footsteps behind him.
A farmer came running in a panic:
"My lord, it's terrible! Two more demonic mechs have joined the Cloud Cavalry battle line. All the war beasts have been annihilated, and our brothers have suffered heavy losses."
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Dan Shu's expression hardened, and he turned around to stand in front of the observation equipment on the Guanyi Terrace to search for it.
She soon saw two mechs, a samurai mech with red, black and gold paint, wielding two swords, easily slaying the secretly bred war beasts.
Another mecha, painted in black and gold, exuding the majestic and imposing aura of a sword-wielding dragon god, was so imposing that even the members of the Medicine King's Secret Sect dared not launch an attack simply by standing there.
"Demon God Mech..."
Dan Shu could feel the power of the Sword King, and his right hand clenched into a fist.
"My Lord, what should we do?"
The farmer asked anxiously.
"Pass on my order: shrink the defensive line to within the Immortal Mist!"
Dan Shu did not lose his composure.
"Yes!"
The clerk turned and went to relay the order.
