"Princess, what should we do? That demon beast is too powerful. Even the Immortals of Maple Valley don't seem to be its match. "On the plain, there were several square formations of soldiers in bright armor.
In the middle of the formation, an old general on horseback looked worriedly at the woman next to him, who also had a sword by her side.
"What else can we do? We can't afford to lose this battle. Titanic Crescent City took decades of the Grand Yuan Kingdom's national resources and countless citizens to build. Now, under the supervision of some Immortals, we're building a giant Mountain Shattering Crossbow specifically to deal with the demon beast. Titanic Crescent City has just been repaired, but the Mountain Shattering Crossbows haven't been able to keep up. Even if we all die, we can't let the demon beast destroy Titanic Crescent City ahead of time. "
The old general took a deep breath and said, "We only have three Mountain Shattering Crossbows. Let's hope we can injure the Black Mammoth in one fell swoop and scare it away."
Further away, hundreds of domesticated elephants were pulling a huge wooden cart. Beside the wooden cart were two rows of thick wheels. The cart was covered with a thick layer of linen.
Although over a hundred elephants were not spirit beasts and were just ordinary wild elephants, the combined strength of over a hundred elephants was still extremely terrifying. Even Foundation Establishment cultivators could easily kill over a hundred elephants with their cultivator abilities, but in terms of pure strength, they would be much weaker than the combined strength of over a hundred elephants.
Beside the wooden carriage was a group of black-armored cavalry, protecting it from both sides.
The wooden cart stopped, and a large group of strong and powerful soldiers came forward. These soldiers were all muscular. They were all made up of first-rate warriors.
These martial artists took off the linen cloth covering the wooden cart, revealing a giant crossbow that was alternating between gold and black. It was several hundred feet wide and had seven slots on it. Each slot could hold a giant crossbow bolt that was as thick as an adult's arm around it.
Just the giant crossbow bolts alone required dozens of Qi Refining cultivators, hundreds of First Rated Martial Artists, and some elephants to help. With the help of a hanging rope, the giant crossbow bolts were placed in the crossbow's arrow nest.
The giant crossbow also needed to be anchored to the ground with fine stakes. The scene was bustling with activity.
Even Lu Xiaotian, who was high up in the sky, felt his scalp go numb when he saw the incomparably huge crossbow. There was no need to doubt the offensive power of this giant crossbow. Even he would find it difficult to block the arrow head on. Regardless of whether it was the giant crossbow or the giant crossbow bolts, they all carried the spiritual energy fluctuations of a metal type magical item. They were not ordinary items. The mortals of the secular world had no way of activating this enormous killing machine, but they had a clumsy method of activating it. Facing the invading demonic beasts, they had no other choice.
However, even though the giant crossbow was extremely lethal, it was not very effective against the high flying cultivators. After all, no one would be willing to stand in front of the crossbow and be shot to death. For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, there were too many ways to avoid the crossbow. However, Lu Xiaotian also understood that the giant crossbow was specially used to deal with demonic beasts like the Black Abyss Elephant that were large in size, extremely destructive, and unable to fly.
Everything had its counter, and the refiner who refined this giant crossbow was not simple. Lu Xiaotian was sizing up the three Mountain Breaking Crossbows with powerful auras. All of a sudden, another loud elephant's cry was heard. Its power was actually not much inferior to the Black Abyss Elephant that the woman with the wooden hairpin and the other Foundation Establishment cultivators were facing.
Lu Xiaotian looked over and saw that in the dense forest, a slightly smaller Black Abyss Elephant had unexpectedly rushed out.
"Not good, why is there another one?"
The woman with the wooden hairpin and the others' expressions changed greatly. Even with the seven Foundation Establishment cultivators working together, they were barely able to entangle one of them and were unable to cause too much damage to it. They did not expect that at this time, another Black Abyss Elephant would rush out, undoubtedly making the already extremely dangerous situation even worse.
"Master, what do we do?" The middle-aged scholar's expression changed greatly.
"What can we do? Lure the Black Abyss Elephants towards the Mountain Breaking Crossbows, use the Mountain Breaking Crossbows to heavily injure one of them, and think of a way to hold the other one back." The woman with the wooden hairpin said in shock and anger.
"Alright!" Everyone thought about it and could not think of a better way.
The seven of them definitely could not stop two extremely powerful Black Abyss Elephants, and it was definitely impossible for them to stay and fight to the death with the Black Abyss Elephants. In fact, it was already good that they had not retreated at all.
The seven of them fought as they retreated. The Black Abyss Elephants were huge in size, but they did not know that there was a trap in front of them.
On Princess Fengyang's side, there were also cultivators nervously sizing up the situation on the battlefield.
"Not good, there's another Black Abyss Elephant. The immortals can't hold on much longer."
"Prepare the Mountain Breaking Crossbows!" Princess Fengyang sternly shouted.
Incomparably thick crossbow bolts were hoisted up and placed in the trough.
"Shoot!" The woman with the wooden hairpin retreated very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, she was only three kilometers away from the Mountain Breaking Crossbows. The Black Abyss Elephant was also relentlessly chasing after her.
The woman with the wooden hairpin suddenly raised her body and shouted. Her voice reverberated, ensuring that the people behind her who had loaded the crossbows and were ready to shoot could hear her.
"Release the arrows!" Princess Fengyang immediately shouted after hearing the order.
Buzz!
The huge Mountain Breaking Crossbow was shot by hundreds of elephants, hundreds of Aura Refining cultivators, and First Rate Martial Artists. The huge crossbow string was made of a large amount of demonic beast tendons and skin, and it had an astonishing elasticity. When it was pulled to its limit, it suddenly shot out, and seven bolts were shot out. It was like a huge bolt of lightning piercing through the sky. This kind of crossbow bolt was not activated by magic power, and it relied solely on the hardness of the bolt itself, as well as its super strong impact to cause damage to the enemy.
The two Black Abyss Elephants felt the astonishing momentum of the huge crossbow bolts, and the long black hair on their bodies suddenly exploded, fluttering in the strong wind. The ferocious aura grew stronger.
The Black Abyss Elephants felt the powerful threat of the crossbow bolts, and a large number of icicles smashed down from the sky. The largest icicle was about three meters in radius, and it fell down like a meteor from outer space.
"Not good, retreat quickly!" The woman with the wooden hairpin cried out in alarm. The two Black Abyss Elephants attacked together, and the scene was like a disaster of hailstorm. At this time, the orderly army formation also suffered a devastating blow. The soldiers and officers who didn't have time to dodge were all injured or killed by the huge icicles. As for the three huge Mountain Breaking Crossbows, only two of them were able to shoot their bolts in time. Before the last one was pulled back, the storm of icicles had already swept over like a mountain. The Mountain Breaking Crossbows were made of solid materials, and although they were hit by countless icicles, they weren't completely destroyed. However, the hundreds of elephants, war horses, and martial artists all suffered heavy casualties.
