Monitoring Tower

Time flies, and two years have passed in the blink of an eye!

Xuanli Island.

At the edge of the island to the south, there stands a tower that is a hundred feet tall.

There is another Monitoring Tower with the same appearance to the east, west, and north.

This Monitoring Tower is made entirely of Spirit Bamboo, with a hollow center and a three-zhang-sized bamboo pavilion-like space at the top, with no obstructions on any side.

From a distance, it looks like a poorly constructed building.

at this time.

On the Monitoring Tower, two Qi Refining Stage cultivators sat cross-legged on futons, one on each side, seemingly admiring the vast and boundless blue sea before them!

White clouds drift and roll!

The tide rises and falls!

A young cultivator sitting cross-legged on the left turned his head to look at a young cultivator in a blue robe and said:

"Brother Liu, could you sell me a piece of tortoise shell?"

"I wish to forge a defensive magical Law Artifact."

After speaking, he stared intently at the other person.

Upon hearing this...

Liu Xiang smiled slightly and said:

"Brother Yu, there are still some days left before our deadline for guarding the tower."

"Perhaps the Water Spirit Turtle will come knocking on our door again in the next couple of days, no need to rush."

"If Brother Yu still hasn't found suitable refining Spirit Material after completing the tower defense mission, how about I sell a piece of Water Spirit Turtle shell?"

immediately.

Yu Qi looked grateful and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying:

"Then thank you very much, Brother Liu!"

"However," Liu Xiang said calmly,

"Spirit Stone can't be priced lower than the market price!"

"Of course," Yu Qi said with certainty.

"Brother Liu, I am already very grateful that you would part with this tortoise shell. I will certainly not let you suffer a loss in terms of price."

Because of a transaction.

Their relationship improved significantly, and they gradually became more open and relaxed in their conversations, becoming more intimate.

Immediately.

Yu Qi looked at Liu Xiang and said mysteriously;

"Brother Liu, have you heard about what happened on Manxing Island?"

Seeing that the other person shook their head, he then continued:

"The Manxing Island has been invaded by the Hui Gold Snake Clan. It is said that there are two Second-order High-grade Hui Gold Snake, six or seven Second-order Low-grade and mid-grade ones, and countless first-tier Hui Gold Snake."

"It was absolutely devastating!"

"According to the cultivators who escaped, the island's Garrison Commander all perished in the jaws of snakes. Most of the cultivators in the Manxing Immortal City did not escape; only a very small number managed to get away!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiang frowned and said:

"Could it be the insidious and venomous Hui Gold Snake?"

There are so many kinds of Demon Beast and Desolate Beast in the Endless Sea that many of Demon Beast have similar names or are homophones with different characters.

The name ' Hui Gold Snake ' is most famous for its insidious and venomous Hui Gold Snake, so his first reaction was to confirm whether it was this Demon Beast.

Yu Qi smiled and said:

"Brother Liu, you have great insight!"

"Yes, it is indeed this group of snakes."

immediately.

Liu Xiang was somewhat puzzled and asked:

"How could this monstrous serpent have caused such chaos throughout Star City?"

"Didn't Manxing Island request aid from Huanqiu City?"

Yu Qi to speak:

"Of course there is! The Hui Gold Snake is just too fast."

"In less than a quarter of an hour, they attacked Manxing Island, devoured many cultivators, and then retreated immediately."

"If this continues any longer, even fewer cultivators will be able to escape this island."

"By the time the Golden Core True Person arrives to help, the Hui Gold Snake have already vanished."

"The wisdom of this Hui Gold Snake leader is truly not to be underestimated!"

"I doubt any small island could withstand a surprise attack from the Hui Gold Snake!"

In the end, Yu Qi couldn't help but sigh softly.

Then, as if he had thought of something, Yu Qi spoke up;

"Do you think our Garrison Commander can withstand the attack of these Hui Gold Snake?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiang shook his head and said:

"Although our Garrison Commander is very powerful, having slain quite a few second-tier Demon Beast and Desolate Beast over the years, he'll probably be overwhelmed when facing an attack from so many second-tier Hui Gold Snake at once!"

Then, Liu Xiang paused for a moment, and continued:

"However, with your strength, you should be able to hold out until the Hui Gold Snake retreats, and also until reinforcements arrive from Huanqiu City!"

As he finished speaking, his tone became hesitant.

Then, Liu Xiang thought for a moment and continued:

"Our Xuanli Island isn't too far from Manxing Island. Given the cunning of the Hui Gold Snake, it shouldn't attack our island!"

Upon hearing this...

Yu Qi and said:

"That's right, that's how the Hui Gold Snake usually is; after striking once, it leaves this sea area."

"That does indeed fit the habits of the Hui Gold Snake, so we don't need to worry unnecessarily!"

In the end, the atmosphere relaxed again.

The two then stopped discussing this heavy topic and started chatting about interesting things happening in the Immortal City!

Time slipped by little by little.

Golden Crow sets in the west, the sky gradually darkens.

Night falls!

suddenly.

A piercing sound rang out from the top of the Monitoring Tower, accompanied by flashes of red light that illuminated the small space at the top of the tower in a bright red glow.

The two people sitting cross-legged at the top of the tower were initially delighted when they heard the alarm.

This means that Demon Beast or Desolate Beast are attacking, and the two of them can make a fortune from it.

But upon seeing such a rich red light, the joy I had felt earlier vanished completely.

Neither of them had ever seen such a dense display of alarm light before, and they immediately looked up in the direction of the sound.

Above the pavilion, there floated something resembling Jade Ruler ruler.

The upright Jade Ruler had markings on it.

At this moment, only the top section of the Jade Ruler's markings remained unchanged, as if the jade color had not changed, while the markings below were filled with a rich red light.

Those bursts of red light originated from this place!

See here.

The two of them exclaimed in surprise at the same time:

"The markings on the Warning Ruler are almost at the highest level of combat readiness!"

"At least Second-order High-grade Demon Beast or Desolate Beast is attacking."

"Quickly, activate the alarm signal."

The two then simultaneously channeled their magical power into the Warning Ruler.

A short while later.

A beam of red light pierced through the Monitoring Tower and appeared in the sky above Xuanli Island, lingering for a long time.

Then, the two of them harnessed their Law Artifact and fled towards Xuanli City for their lives.

At the same time, a bright red beam of light appeared from the direction of the other three Monitoring Tower, and then six beams of spiritual light shot out from the direction of the three Monitoring Tower and flew towards Xuanli City.

Outside Xuanli City, in the Canyon and jungles, streaks of spiritual light rose up and flew towards Xuanli City.

If it were any other small island, these spiritual lights would probably not be flying towards the city, but rather heading outwards.

It is precisely because Cheng Buzheng has killed so many Demon Beast and Desolate Beast over the years that the cultivators living in this city have great confidence in Cheng Buzheng.

certainly.

There are always exceptions; occasionally, streaks of light would fly out of the island.

However, it's rare.
