Chapter 47: Spirit Stone Crossbow
Translator: 549690339
“Patriarch, are you alright?”
Seeing that Yang Chen had returned, Chen Xuan quickly supported Yang Chen and said with a worried expression.
“I’m fine.” Yang Chen shook off the blood on his hand and took a Grade 9 Blood Coagulation Pill. Then, he let the doctor bandage him.
While the doctor was treating the wound on his hand, Yang Chen ordered,””Grand Elder, we have repelled the demon horde this time, but we cannot slack off.”
“I wonder where the next demon wave will come from.”
“The western and eastern regions are likely to become targets for demonic beasts. Even North City, although far away from the Endless Mountains, could still be attacked.”
“I suspect that this demon wave will sweep through the entire Nanyang County. At that time, even the hinterland of Nanyang County will not be safe, let alone our north wall.”
“Yes, Patriarch, don’t worry. There are people guarding the other three walls. They will definitely inform us the moment they discover a demon beast.”Chen Xuan said.
Chen Yang nodded.” That’s good. However, there’s no need to be too anxious, First Elder.” Our Southwall is the closest to the Endless Mountain Range, so the possibility of demonic beasts attacking the Southwall is still very high.”
“Now plus the demon tide, another wave of attack will come to the south wall. Those beasts don’t want to give up halfway. I guess the next demon tide will still attack the south wall.””
“Next time, this group of demon beasts won’t have it easy!”
Chen Xuan sneered.” The Spirit Stone Crossbows in our Chen City are about to be assembled. They are sharp weapons that can threaten Demon Venerables. It’s enough to defend the city.””
Speaking of the spirit stone crossbow, Yang Chen’s pale face also revealed a smile.
Although the Great Gan Lord Dynasty had the various aristocratic families guard the city, it was not as if they had left nothing behind.
Otherwise, when the aristocratic families started to cause trouble, wouldn’t there be no countermeasures at all?
This spirit stone crossbow was the last resort of every city. Not even Venerable Core Condensation could withstand its power.
Because the game was more expensive, it was usually taken apart for maintenance. When it was time to use it, he would assemble it and use it.
It was also because of the spirit stone crossbow that Chen Yang was confident in defending Chen City.
While Chen Yang and Chen Xuan were chatting, a large group of doctors rushed up the city wall to treat the injuries of the martial artists guarding the city.
The citizens of Chen City in the city also spontaneously demolished their own houses and moved the pillars onto the city wall to serve as rolling wood.
As for the other materials, they were used to strengthen the city walls.
As for the masons, they risked their lives to leave the city. Reinforce the cracks caused by the demon beast’s attack.
In this time of crisis, due to the example of the Chen family, the people of Chen City were united and guarded their homeland together.
Seeing the houses being demolished by their owners, Yang Chen was silent for a moment before saying,””Pass down the order. My Chen family will remember your friendship. After the demon wave passes, their houses will be contracted by my Chen family.”
“Yes, sir! The patriarch is benevolent!”
The eyes of the family members who were listening to his instructions flashed with admiration. It was not a loss to be able to follow such a righteous family head.
After resting for a while, Yang Chen glanced at the endless demon tide again.” No, I have to figure out how big this demon tide is.””
“Otherwise, we don’t even have a target, so how can we persist?”
“Patriarch, do you mean to send someone to investigate the situation outside?”Chen Xuan said from the side.
“That’s right.” Chen Yang nodded and looked at the Second Elder.” Second Elder, go and call Chen Xuan over.””
“Yes.”
Not long after, Chen Yang jogged to Chen Yang and knelt on one knee.” Greetings, Family Head!””
“There’s no need to be so polite.” Chen Yang helped Chen Xuan up.” I have an extremely dangerous task for you. Are you willing?””
“This subordinate is willing to die for the family head!”As he spoke, Chen Xuan was about to kneel down again. Fortunately, Chen Yang was quick enough to stop him.
“Don’t be in a hurry to agree. This mission isn’t simple. Now that the demon wave is attacking, the most difficult thing is not to defend the city, but that we don’t know the situation outside.”
“I plan to send you out to investigate if the demon horde has affected Nanyang County.”
“You have a strange bloodline that allows you to gather information about the surroundings and avoid demon beasts. Therefore, this mission can only be handed over to you.”Chen Yang patted Chen Xuan’s shoulder.
In the current situation, even if they sent out a Meridian Opening expert, they might not be able to do better than Chen Xuan.
After all, his bloodline ability allowed him to hear sounds within a ten-mile radius. It was easy for him to avoid the demon wave.
Chen Xuan thought for a moment and nodded.” Don’t worry, Family Head. I’ll definitely complete the mission.””
As he spoke, Chen Xuan planned to leave the city.
“Stop!”
After Chen Xuan had walked a dozen meters, Chen Yang suddenly called out to him,” Remember, your life is more important than the information. The only prerequisite for this mission is to keep you alive.”
When Chen Xuan heard this, he remained silent. Then, he nodded heavily.” Understood!””
Following Chen Xuan’s departure, Chen Yang’s thoughts also drifted into the distance.
God bless us, this operation must go smoothly…
Two hours after the truce, the county magistrate of Chen City came to the city wall with the completed spirit stone crossbow.
Seeing the arrival of the county magistrate, Yang Chen strode to the county magistrate’s side. After casually cupping his hands at the county magistrate, he walked towards the spirit stone crossbow with bright eyes.
Although this spirit stone crossbow was called a crossbow bolt, it looked completely like a cannon.
The county magistrate walked to Chen Yang’s side and introduced the situation of the Spirit Stone Crossbow to him.” Lord Chen, the shooting range of this Spirit Stone Crossbow can reach ten miles.”
“As for its power, it can be divided into three levels. One of them is the full power attack of a third level Meridian Unsealing expert, which costs 100 spirit stones.”
“The second level is the full power attack of a seventh level Meridian Unsealing expert.”
“As for the final grade, it’s equivalent to a full-power attack from a first-stage Core Formation expert. The cost is 10,000 spirit stones.”
“I still have 3,000 spirit stones in my county office. I’ve brought all of them here. I hope the Chen clan leader won’t mind.”
“Magistrate, I, Yang Chen, am extremely grateful for your kindness. How could I dislike you?”Yang Chen smiled.
Yang Chen had thought that it would be good enough for the magistrate to take out the spirit stone crossbow, but he didn’t expect that the magistrate would give him three thousand spirit stones as a bonus.
These 3,000 spirit stones were enough to unleash the full power of an expert at the seventh level of Meridian Unsealing three times.
If he used it well, it would not be a problem for him to survive three demon hordes.
As time passed, the night gradually fell. Seeing that the demon tide did not show any signs of attacking, Chen Yang was slightly relieved and arranged for everyone to rest.
The current time should be the safest. Even if the demon horde attacked again, they would attack at night and not in the evening.
The warriors guarding the city were also exhausted. They fell asleep on the city wall and slept until late at night.
At midnight, the second wave of demon wave attack officially arrived, accompanied by a series of wolf howls..
