Tianshu Fragments Could Boost Spirit Beasts' Strength
"Orange Fragment has appeared!"
This revelation shocked all the cultivators in Dubian Town who were following the great battle. What did the Orange Fragment represent? There was an announcement in the Wantong Trading Market that one Orange Fragment could be exchanged for one million Spirit Crystal, and five Orange Fragment could be exchanged for one Divine Abilities and Spells.
Orange Fragment represent money, and even magic of immortal level!
Ma Feifei, who was above the clouds, also noticed the Tianshu Fragment on the forehead of the dead spirit beast. He was surprised to find that there was a spirit beast with Tianshu Fragment among them.
"If this continues, will more spirit beasts carrying Tianshu Fragment emerge from the Nine Heavens Mountain?" Ma Feifei flew to the spirit beast that possessed the Tianshu Fragment his hand, and pondered carefully as he looked at it.
Ma Feifei had already suspected something was amiss with the sudden riot and siege by the spirit beasts; otherwise, it would have been impossible for such a situation to suddenly occur in the Nine Heavens Mountain had been peaceful for 30,000 years.
If Ma Feifei's guess was correct, the Qin State and Zhao State, which also border the Nine Heavens Mountain, did not suffer a large-scale attack from spirit beasts. This clearly shows that this was an organized and premeditated spirit beast uprising with a very clear purpose, although Ma Feifei did not yet know what their purpose was.
"Hmm?" Ma Feifei suddenly turned to look at the dead fifth-tier spirit beast and found that its entire body was beginning to shrink, and its final body was only two-thirds of its original size.
"It seems to have lost a lot of power and its level has also dropped." Ma Feifei looked at the spirit beast that had suddenly fallen from the fifth rank to the fourth rank, his eyes filled with suspicion.
"Could it be that the Tianshu Fragment amplified their power?"
Ma Feifei fell into deep thought, increasingly feeling that this beast uprising was inextricably linked to him, or rather, to the Mysterious Bookstore.
But no matter how hard Ma Feifei racked his brains, he couldn't figure out what caused the spirit beasts in Nine Heavens Mountain to frantically attack Dubian Town.
"This is really a headache." Ma Feifei patted his head, put away the Tianshu Fragment in his hand, flew back into the air, and looked down to search for any remaining Tianshu Fragment.
At this moment, the cultivators in Dubian Town rushed out of the town and towards the spirit beasts. Their purpose was very clear: they were attracted by the Tianshu Fragment.
Ma Feifei didn't stop them. The power of hundreds of thousands of cultivators was immense. With their help, Ma Feifei felt that even if tens of thousands of seventh-tier spirit beasts attacked Dubian Town, they could win.
It should be noted that most of the cultivators still remaining in Dubian Town are quite powerful. If they were armed into an army, they could probably wipe out any of the five kingdoms, let alone mere spirit beasts.
However, without the incentive of personal gain, it is clearly impossible to command these people in battle.
For example, before the Tianshu Fragment appeared, even though the army had already breached the defenses, the cultivators in the town did not choose to come out to help. Instead, they stood by and watched, and fled Dubian Town to avoid being affected.
Now that the Tianshu Fragment have appeared, everyone rushed forward to bravely hunt down the spirit beasts, wishing they could kill them all by themselves. Their desperate appearance even made Ma Feifei applaud them.
As the sun set and its rays fell upon the land, nearly a million corpses of spirit beasts and humans lay scattered about, and the air itself seemed to be imbued with a bloody aura.
The spirit beasts within the Nine Heavens Mountain did not surge out again, and the remaining spirit beasts began to retreat with mournful cries, finally bringing the great battle to an end.
"Bang bang bang~" The purple legion also vanished in an instant, turning into wisps of purple smoke.
"Found it! A fragment! A fragment!" A cultivator stood on the corpse of a dead spirit beast, holding up a Tianshu Fragment and shouting excitedly.
"There's one here too!"
"I have some too..."
On the vast battlefield, occasional exclamations rang out, each signifying the birth of a Tianshu Fragment. Of course, there were also those who quietly made a fortune, obtaining Tianshu Fragment and keeping them hidden away without a word.
Ma Feifei glanced around and figured there should be no fewer than ten Tianshu Fragment beneath the nearly one million spirit beast corpses. Adding those who were making a fortune in silence, there should be at least twenty or thirty Tianshu Fragment.
At this rate, with a few more rounds of spirit beast sieges, it's estimated that all ninety-nine Tianshu Fragment will be collected.
But the price...
Looking at the endless sea of corpses, Ma Feifei couldn't help but sigh.
In this battle, not only did nearly a million spirit beasts die, but even the 250,000-strong human army was almost wiped out, with less than 50,000 surviving. Nearly 200,000 soldiers perished in this war between humans and beasts, making life seem so insignificant.
The cruelty of the fantasy world was vividly displayed at this moment.
"Shopkeeper!" At this moment, the Yuanfang City and Zhou Wuji arrived. Both of them looked exhausted. As the main generals, they had naturally participated in this battle, but after all, they were both cultivators who had just entered the Spirit Saint realm. They were unable to defeat all of the millions of spirit beasts with their own cultivation and were quite powerless.
"Thank you for your help, shopkeeper!" The two bowed in gratitude. The spirit beast attack came too suddenly, leaving them little time to deploy more troops for defense. If it weren't for Ma Feifei's skill of Scattering Beans into Soldiers, it would have been impossible for millions of spirit beasts to invade Dubian Town, but they would have been exhausted, and none of the 250,000 troops would have survived.
Ma Feifei waved his hand and said, "Dubian Town is also my home, so it's my duty to help. However, I think the spirit beasts will attack the city again tomorrow, and their level will probably be even higher than today. You should prepare countermeasures as soon as possible."
Ma Feifei wasn't exaggerating. If things went according to his previous plan, today's attack by the spirit beasts was just the beginning. Next, there would definitely be sixth-tier, seventh-tier, and even eighth-tier and ninth-tier spirit beasts attacking Dubian Town.
Although the Scattering Beans into Soldiers" technique is Divine Abilities and Spells, its actual effect is not very significant. If it weren't for Ma Feifei's Innate Purple Qi and the amplification of his combat power by the Luan Feng, his ordinary " Scattering Beans into Soldiers" technique would only be able to contend with third-tier spirit beasts. As for higher-level spirit beasts, forget about it; they would be nothing more than experience points.
"Rest assured, shopkeeper, we have already sent people to the capital to inform His Your Majesty of the news of the spirit beasts attacking the city. The 500,000 heavily armored warriors of Yuanfang City will also arrive at Dubian Town tonight to defend against the spirit beasts' attack tomorrow," the city lord of Yuanfang City said in a deep voice, clasping his hands in a fist salute. However, his tone lacked confidence, clearly indicating his concern about whether his 500,000 heavily armored warriors could withstand the attack of the spirit beasts from Nine Heavens Mountain.
The Heavy Armor Warriors are one of the four major legions of the Chu Kingdom. They have been stationed in Yuanfang City to protect the northern border of the Chu Kingdom. There are 500,000 Heavy Armor Warriors, but every soldier is Spirit Master or above. The generals who are slightly higher in rank are Spirit Ancestor, Spirit King, or Spirit Venerable.
Heavy armor warriors are among the top-ranked legions in all five kingdoms.
If this kind of force were sent to patrol the borders of other countries, even the Qin State would have to be on high alert and not be careless.
However, when faced with the siege of the spirit beasts from Nine Heavens Mountain, there's really no guarantee of victory.
In terms of numbers, millions of spirit beasts are more than ten times their size.
In terms of cultivation level, fifth-tier spirit beasts have appeared today. If sixth-tier and seventh-tier spirit beasts also come out in full force, they won't gain any advantage at all.
Therefore, it is understandable that the city lord of the Yuanfang City is not confident.
However, Ma Feifei comforted him, saying, "Don't worry, the situation isn't that bad. Tomorrow, not only will there be 500,000 heavily armored warriors, but all the cultivators in Dubian Town will also be there to help."
"They'll help too?" The city lord of Yuanfang City asked with some doubt. He glanced at the cultivators flying around. Some of them were cutting off the fur, teeth, and inner cores of spirit beasts, taking everything useful from them. Other cultivators were constantly turning over the bodies of spirit beasts, looking for any Tianshu Fragment.
Upon seeing this, the city lord of the Yuanfang City suddenly realized the truth.
The appearance of the Tianshu Fragment meant that the cultivators who were watching could no longer remain bystanders. Moreover, if the level of the spirit beasts continued to increase tomorrow, then the value of these spirit beasts would naturally increase as well.
Even powerful figures with high cultivation levels cannot ignore the treasures possessed by a high-level spirit beast, including its teeth, fur, and inner core.
With the help of 500,000 heavily armored warriors and cultivators from Dubian Town, Protect Dubian Town from being captured should not be a problem. After all, the higher the level of the spirit beast, the fewer the number. It is impossible for there to be millions of eighth and ninth-level spirit beasts. If that were the case, the spirit beasts would have unified the Azure Dragon Continent long ago, and humans would still be playing with snake skins.
