The weather is getting colder.
The outdoor temperature had dropped to about 50 degrees below zero, so Zhang Yang temporarily activated two boilers and ordered all residents to light their fire pits, so that the fireplaces could maintain the indoor temperature.
Ordinary villagers are no longer allowed to leave their homes, and soldiers with lower strength have also retreated to the warm fortress. Only captain-level soldiers and heroes are left to patrol and be responsible for daily affairs.
"Sir, it seems that the Ghost Queen really wants to fight with us. There are still five days left and winter is about to end. However, it is still so cold here. I think the temperature will continue to drop in the next few days. "
Wu Yuan wore a bearskin cloak and carried a hero's spear, patrolling the outer city wall with Zhang Yang. He was a four-star hero with three extraordinary attributes. The low temperature was nothing.
Of course, what is even more inhumane are Wang Mumu, Duan Kuan, Song Dachui and Zhou Datou, four guys with ice talents. They can all bathe in the snow with no shirt on. This is definitely a show off for Chi Guoguo.
It is precisely because of the four of them that a lot of the dirty work in the village is taken care of for them.
For example, burning boilers, delivering firewood to residents, delivering water, etc., because the lower the temperature, the more difficult those seemingly ordinary daily chores become.
"It doesn't matter, I'm just afraid that the ghost queen won't come."
Zhang Yang was also wrapped like a furry bear. He wore three layers of boots, three layers of animal skin jackets, and a huge bearskin cloak. From a distance, he looked like a furry ball of thread.
This venerable appearance often made those bastards laugh, but there was nothing Zhang Yang could do about it. Of course he was not afraid of the cold. Isn't that a joke? After all, he was also a quasi-immortal cultivator who had taken the first-grade Foundation Establishment Pill and opened his meridians. It is possible to reserve approximately 0.1 unit of mana in the meridians of the body.
But after Zhang Yang came back, he had an extra thought. He was not busy practicing, and all the magic power in his body was exhausted by him, and he looked very useless.
This is not to protect others, but to paralyze the ghost queen.
Although this sounds a bit fanciful, we are not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case. Zhang Yang doesn't want to have any chance. If the ghost queen becomes afraid and doesn't come this winter, it will be tragic if she waits until next winter to appear again. .
Wu Yuan didn't try to figure out Zhang Yang's thoughts. He was not Wang Shen, so he continued:
"Sir, after winter is over, are you really not going to rebuild the mountain temple? I still want to build a statue for my second brother."
"Whatever, you can shape it as much as you want."
It doesn't matter to Zhang Yang, the mountain god Zhao Xianyu is really just the mountain god Zhao Xianyu who was formed because of his faith, not the dead Zhao Xiaoer. But Wu Yuan looked sad for spring and autumn, so naturally he had to ask for help. Peace of mind.
And this also made Zhang Yang realize that most people like Wu Yuan can only live for 20 years, just like himself.
"If there is another life, will you still be willing to follow me?"
Zhang Yang suddenly asked half-jokingly.
"Next life? Why did you say this? I was just sighing for a moment. If there is a next life, I hope to be a farmer. I work at sunrise and return at sunset. The days of killing will always make people tired." Wu Yuan sighed.
"Tired, you've only been with me for less than a year, how can you be so old-fashioned?" Zhang Yang was curious.
Wu Yuan smiled and said nothing.
"Sir, if there is a next life, we are still willing to follow you around and smash holes in the sky and the earth!" It was the four violent bears, and their ears were very pointed.
Zhang Yang laughed and gave up the idea of exploring Wu Yuan's inner world.
After several rounds of patrolling along the outer city wall, there was basically nothing unusual. As the group was about to walk down the city wall, Sun Goudan, who had the best eyesight, suddenly shouted.
"Sir, the clouds have changed!"
Zhang Yang and others looked in the direction he pointed, but found nothing, because the sky was still the same as it was a few months ago, with a clear sky above and a circle of black clouds hundreds of kilometers away, like a bald monster.
"Sir, there has been a change. I have been observing it every day for the past few months. Yes, the clouds there are rising. Well, you will be able to see it clearly in about a moment."
Sun Goudan quickly explained.
"Light the fire and prepare for battle!"
Zhang Yang immediately issued the order, and the day finally came.
"Wang Mumu, you are responsible for the first line of defense! Wu Yuan, you are responsible for the second line of defense. Renn, you go to the castle. Make sure to protect the things I gave you before, and then ignite them and release them at the critical moment!"
The decoration in the castle was made by Zhang Yang during this period. It is something like a Sky-Drilling Monkey. Well, a rocket. He named it a Sky-Drilling Rocket. It is used to break the Yin Qi blockade. It uses magic power on it. The seal, with the fourth closed-circuit circle as the core, and some other means, can quickly spiral upward, and the effect - he doesn't know what it will be like
As for Zhang Yang himself, he was going to prepare to fight the ghost queen personally in order to capture or kill her in one fell swoop.
Everything was ready, and the changes in the clouds on the horizon could finally be seen with the naked eye. They were not murderous, but moved slowly like a turtle, but this movement was extremely terrifying.
Because all the clouds of Yin Qi from all directions are squeezing together towards the center, like a huge mountain, the overwhelming pressure can be felt even from hundreds of kilometers away.
And this is more terrifying than ordinary dark clouds. As a special existence, Yin Qi clouds can cut off the air. As long as they are closed and squeezed, just a suffocation crisis will make people helpless.
What's more, there is a terrifying low-temperature cyclone, and the temperature may drop to 80 or 90 degrees below zero.
"Sure enough, those who come are not good, and those who are good will not come. This ghost lady has advanced to the ghost queen. With the favorable timing and location of this cloud of Yin Qi, her combat power may exceed that of a foundation-building immortal cultivator."
Zhang Yang's expression was serious, his scalp was numb, and his heart was no longer as relaxed as before.
"Mom, if I had known better, I wouldn't have wasted that legendary mountain talisman. This formation would have bankrupted me!"
At this moment, Zhang Yang didn't dare to hide his clumsiness. He was so arrogant that he dared to look down on the Ghost Queen!
If this battle doesn't go well, he will have to go home early to eat!
"God of hurricanes, listen to my orders!"
Zhang Yang shouted, and like magic, a piece of the God of Hurricane God appeared in his hand.
This was something he had left over from the Mountain God Trial before. He was not stupid. He knew that he had given Zhao Xianyu freedom, so why should he still think of him perfectly
They received a total of 15 pieces of pseudo-god status, and Zhang Yang left ten pieces for Zhao Xianyu, which was necessary to stabilize the situation.
The remaining five false god tablets were kept by Zhang Yang.
They are the hurricane false god, the sowing false god, the fertility false god, the love false god, and the forest false god.
After these gods were separated from the nourishment of the faith of their respective believers, their remaining powers were pitifully weak, but they could still be used as special props.
In addition, Zhang Yang does not plan to activate them in the fantasy village building mission, because even if these pseudo-gods are rubbish, the faith that needs to be enshrined must be calculated in terms of 100,000 believers. If they are used here, they will only be drained. His little village.
No need.
If he hadn't discovered today that the ghost queen might have overturned his table, Zhang Yang wouldn't have wanted to use it, because it would consume the durability of the god's throne.
The hurricane false god's throne only has a total durability of 100 points. At this time, Zhang Yang forcibly injected 30 units of divinity. This effect was equivalent to the Overlord's Great Bow, which directly erased 30 points of durability, because there is no god to preside over, and there is no buffer.
"boom!"
Thirty units of divinity instantly caused the hurricane pseudo-god to erupt with a shocking aura. A yellow tornado erupted and soared into the sky. In a few breaths, this yellow tornado was generated for thousands of meters and hundreds of diameters. Mi, like a yellow dragon, rushes towards the east direction.
Zhang Yang wants to use this method to break the ghost queen's iron wall.
No matter what, we cannot let the clouds of gloomy energy from all directions close together. Once the terrifying low-temperature cyclone takes shape, it will be too late.
"God of hurricanes, listen to my orders! Come again!"
Zhang Yang showed no mercy, injecting another thirty units of divine power, and sent out a second tornado, heading straight to the west.
"Come again!"
A third tornado appeared and headed due south.
"Come again!"
The fourth tornado appeared, and the god of the hurricane false god whined and shattered into dust.
Zhang Yang doesn't care, he brought this thing back just to ward off disasters, not to mention it's not a non-renewable resource, it's just a false god.
The appearance of the four tornadoes immediately caused the surrounding Yin Qi clouds to change, and more Yin Qi clouds could be seen quickly pouring out, as if to prevent the four tornadoes from splitting.
It's a pity that this is not an ordinary tornado. Before the divinity injected into it disappears, the tornado will only become more and more violent.
As for whether there is a way to crack this divinity, of course there is, but you have to go to the third sequence of battlefields to find a way.
It would be strange for a mere ghost queen to have a way to crack it.
So what we saw next was an extremely spectacular scene. The tornado soaring into the sky collided with the overwhelming clouds of Yin Qi. In an instant, it was like an electric drill drilled into the wood, and countless tiny pieces of Yin Qi were thrown out and splashed. Dozens of hundreds of kilometers, even covering the sky.
But such sky shading has little power.
Without saying a word, Zhang Yang took this opportunity to collect flames on the fire, build a second closed circle, throw fireballs into the sky, and explode the clouds of Yin Qi. Every time one hits, he can harvest dozens of units of ghosts. crystallization.
This is a good thing for Taifa.
In just ten minutes, four tornadoes tore through the thick clouds of Yin Qi, and successfully defeated the Ghost Queen's first ultimate attack.
If you want to play cryogenic asphyxia, just dream!
At this time, the ghost queen must either retreat when the opportunity arises and come back again with renewed strength, or she must use new methods.
Because in a short period of time, not even the Ghost Queen would be able to reunite the completely shattered cloud of Yin Qi.
But there is no doubt that the Ghost Queen chose the latter.
"Ah!"
An extremely sharp cry that penetrated the sky suddenly sounded, and then an unknown number of ghost assassins, ghost priests, and evil ghosts rushed out densely from the broken clouds of yin energy.
With the addition of the Yin Qi clouds, these things' combat power is doubled, and they can also incite part of the Yin Qi to charge. From a distance, they look like they are rolling up a huge ice and sand storm.
Ghost sea tactics
"Everyone, hold the line!"
"The bonfires are all lit!"
"Open the trench and light the fire!"
Orders were issued one after another, and there was no need for Zhang Yang to worry about it. Wu Yuan, Wang Mumu, Wang Shen, Sun Goudan, Duan Kuan, Ren En and others each had their own tasks. They had rehearsed countless times. All captain-level soldiers were ready. , cooperated with the flames of the three-layer defense line, and started fighting with the charging ghost soldiers.
The core point of this battle is to protect people's homes. No matter what, no evil spirit can be allowed to enter people's homes.
Dozens of captain-level archers, led by Sun Goudan, occupied a favorable position, with a brazier in front of each of them. Whenever an evil spirit came from the sky, they would be greeted by rockets.
In addition, protective talismans and reconnaissance talismans were thrown out for free.
This battle has been intense from the beginning!
