"Second team, get ready!"
The crossbowmen on the city wall were in an orderly manner. After the first team finished shooting, they immediately reloaded their crossbows while the second team raised their crossbows and walked to the front. As long as the demonic beasts were within a kilometer radius, they would have to fire their crossbows without any delay.
"Fire!"
It was another round of crazy shooting. This time, Du Feng didn't intervene. He was already immersed in studying the True Essence Cannon. The more he studied this thing, the more he was shocked. It actually contained so many functions. Firstly, it had the function of melting crystals. It had to melt all 50 blue crystals into pure elemental energy. Secondly, it had to have the function of compression. 50 blue crystals could produce a lot of elemental energy. To fit it into the cannon barrel, it had to be compressed.
Lastly, it had to have the ability to fire. With so much compressed True Essence, it was equivalent to installing a super bomb inside. If it wasn't fired properly and exploded on the spot, who would dare to use it? Most importantly, it had to be the sturdiness of the cannon body. It had to withstand such a strong recoil and not be exposed from the back.
Wow, the more I look at it, the more I like it. Du Feng looked at the True Essence Cannon and touched the inside and outside of the cannon body.
Eh? In the depths of the cannon barrel, there were actually a few inscriptions that couldn't be seen with the naked eye. Fortunately, his arms could lengthen and he touched the innermost part. When his fingertips touched the innermost part, he could feel the three inscriptions. According to the feeling, Du Feng memorized the three inscriptions.
As for the other runes, he knew all of them. They were the high-grade Spirit Gathering Talisman, Strengthening Talisman, and Suppression Talisman. These runes were all at the sixth level. Du Feng could understand them but didn't know how to draw them. He had to go to the Array Master Alliance to get a book.
Oh right, he had to observe the operation of the True Essence Cannon a few more times. He wanted to see how the various runes worked together. Understanding the principle was one thing, but actually operating it was another. Without practical experience, it was easy to fail by just talking on paper.
"Boom!"
Just when everyone thought that Du Feng wouldn't fire the cannon on his own, another cannon was fired from the watchtower. This blast was very far away, and a group of Demonic Beasts that were not within a kilometer of it were blasted into minced meat.
This … Captain Duan was speechless. He had yet to fire a single shot and was waiting for the order from the City Lord's Mansion. Du Feng had already fired three shots, but no one had criticized or punished him. This was too unfair.
"Look, it's that watchtower again. It must be the same person who fired the cannon."
The wandering martial artists had also learned their lesson. This time, they observed a phenomenon. Three consecutive True Essence Cannons had been fired from the same location. In other words, he was the only one who dared to fire the cannons recklessly.
"I've heard that the True Origin Cannon consumes fifty blue crystals each time, and we have to wait for the City Lord's Mansion's order before we can supply it. This person has fired continuously; I'm afraid he'll have to pay for it himself."
Finally, there was someone who understood the situation and got it right. It was true that the True Origin Cannons had been transferred over by the City Lord's Mansion, but the supply of blue crystals was not unlimited. If it was an unlimited supply, why didn't the other guard towers open fire?
"Paying for it himself? I think he's out of his mind."
The wandering martial artist who had been discussing where there were beautiful girls in Shiyuan City widened his eyes when he heard this. Paying for it himself and spending 50 blue crystals every time to fire the cannon. If this wasn't out of his mind, then what was? Firing three shots would cost 150 blue crystals. With this money, he could eat and drink well and do anything with beautiful girls. Why would he waste it on such a place?
"That's right. If it were me …"
A few wandering martial artists who were of the same ilk gathered together and started to analyze how they should spend the 150 blue crystals.
"I think you guys are out of your minds. If the Demonic Beasts really charged over, would you still be alive to spend the money?"
The old man from before was so angry that he coughed a few times. If it wasn't for his weak body, he really wanted to be a city guard. Although the treatment wasn't high, at least he didn't have to stay in the tent area outside. Martial artists weren't immortal. When they got older, their bodies would still be weak and they would still fall sick. His aptitude was ordinary, so he couldn't improve his Cultivation. Now, he was stuck in the outskirts of the city. He probably wouldn't be able to avoid the Beast Tide this time.
"Pfft. You old thing, what do you know? Do you think those officials would be willing to let the Demonic Beasts in?"
The young wandering martial artists, especially the male dancers, thought they could see it clearly. The reason why they hid under the city wall was that they knew the officials of Stony Plain City didn't allow the Demonic Beasts to get close to the city wall. Because once the city wall was destroyed, the houses inside would also be in trouble. It should be noted that more than half of the houses in Stony Plain City were public rentals of the mayor's mansion. They relied on that to make money.
The rest of the private mansions were even more powerful. All of them were residences of rich people. They would definitely prevent the Demonic Beasts from getting close.
"That's right. Let's just hide here and enjoy the view."
"Look, look. The new wild elephant is so big."
To be honest, the wandering martial artists were quite scared when they saw so many Demonic Beasts at first. But after a few rounds, the Demonic Beasts still couldn't get within a kilometer. They were relieved. Anyway, the city guards were in charge of everything. It had nothing to do with the poor people. Those rich people and officials were more afraid of death. We can just stay at the foot of the city wall.
"Roar …"
The Yellow River Elephant let out a roar, which was particularly abrupt among the Demonic Beasts. Large wild boars were actually very big. Each of them was as big as a house. But compared with the Yellow River Elephant, they were almost like small mice. The height of this elephant was already as high as the city wall. If it rushed over, it didn't need to hit the thick city wall. It could directly attack the city guards standing on the city wall with its trunk.
"Wow, how could the Yellow River Elephant come so fast?" As a heavy weapon, the Yellow River Elephant usually appeared after a few days. "What's going on? How could it rush over with the wild boars?"
"Boom!"
Captain Duan was thinking about who the mayor's mansion would order to shoot. A big guy like the Yellow River Elephant couldn't break its defense at all if it was shot with a strong crossbow. Even a huge city defense crossbow would need more than five arrows to kill it, and it had to be shot in the head every time.
At this moment, there was a loud noise. As expected, it was Du Feng who fired the cannon again. It was still so accurate. The cannon hit the head of the Yellow River Elephant and blew up its entire head. The remaining body was still running forward due to inertia. After running for a distance, it fell to the side with a loud bang.
Good power. Even if Du Feng were to personally kill the Yellow River Elephant of that size, it would be difficult to kill it. He could only use the method of wandering to slowly wear it down. But with the True Essence Cannon, it was different. One shot could kill it directly. If this thing was used to sneak attack Void Sea Realm cultivators, the effect should be good.
