Chapter 316 A Great Harvest and Unexpected Surprise!
As if stimulated by this scene, Sha Jingjing's eyes changed slightly.
Although she, Feiya and others are all Xia En's subordinates, the relationship between the two parties is not that close, but there are some gaps.
It's like two factions under one company.
Sha Jingjing is from the [Rhine] line, while Fei Ya and others are the orthodox direct lineage of the [Black Swan].
It is definitely not hostile, but it is inevitable that the idea of "not wanting to compare differences" will inevitably arise, which can be regarded as a beneficial competition mode.
So Sha Jingjing took the initiative to speak.
"Lord Holy Son, leave that fire fox to me."
Before she finished speaking, she picked up her long bow.
The dark yellow secret power gradually accumulates on the arrow, giving people the feeling that the arrow will hit it no matter what.
This is an ancient skill mastered by Sha Jingjing, which gives bows and arrows a "sure hit" effect.
At this time, the target she was aiming at was the fire fox that breathed fire at the [Bloodthirsty Thorns].
Compared with the giant white elephant standing still, this fire fox's movements are extremely flexible and agile.
It was like a jumping flame elf, moving around at the front of the beast tide, and it was difficult to catch its figure with the eyes.
Precisely because of its petite size and rapid speed, even Fei Ya and the two of them had difficulty catching up with it in the tide of beasts.
suddenly.
As if aware of the hidden danger, the soft hair on Fire Fox's body exploded instantly.
It spread its legs, its speed surged again, and it dodged crazily in the tide of beasts, trying to avoid the fatal murderous intention.
However, all these actions are in vain!
As Sha Jingjing loosened the bowstring in her hand, the dark yellow arrow flew out suddenly.
Its flight trajectory is completely different from ordinary arrows, as if it flies directly across space.
One second it was near the city wall, and the next second it appeared beside Fire Fox, shooting into the body of the beast king at a tricky angle.
There was a "chi" sound, and blood spattered.
Firefox's body stiffened suddenly, and then let out a sharp cry of pain.
But this arrow obviously can't really kill it.
then……
The second, third...and even the fifth long dark yellow arrow came to the fire fox one after another like chasing the stars and chasing the moon.
It penetrated the Fire Fox's body from all directions and turned it into a little hedgehog.
Immediately, surging secret power erupted from the arrow, destroying the flesh and blood inside the fire fox wantonly.
This strange beast finally couldn't bear the torture and died completely after spitting out a mouthful of blood.
After shooting these five life-threatening arrows in one breath, Sha Jingjing's little face was also white as snow. She couldn't help but breathe heavily, and her hands holding the bow were trembling slightly.
Obviously, this kind of output method also puts a lot of burden on Sha Jingjing.
However, even though Sha Jingjing was so tired, she still looked at Xia En with bright eyes.
The meaning in that look is clearly saying "Come on, praise me! Come on, praise me!"
Xia En saw Sha Jingjing's thoughts at a glance, so he reached out to touch the top of her head and praised her at the same time.
"Well done, you did a great job."
"hey-hey……"
Sha Jingjing smiled with enjoyment, and her tail behind her swung like a propeller.
Her loyal dog nature has become more and more obvious.
However, Xia En's gesture of reaching out and touching his head was just out of habit - just like petting the big dog at home, it had no special meaning.
But at the same time, a slightly resentful look came from behind Xia En.
Who is it if it’s not Joey?
Xia En's arm suddenly stiffened.
But then I thought about it, he didn't do anything bad. He was just petting his own big dog. What was there to panic about?
Even so, Xia En calmly retracted his hand.
Then, Joey spoke.
"Mr. Captain, I'm going to take action too."
After saying that, a serious look appeared on Joey's pretty face, and he began to chant a slightly lengthy spell.
Different from the previous auxiliary spells, this magical spell is particularly obscure and difficult to understand, and the huge secret power gathers around the girl like a storm.
Her long silver-white hair moved automatically without wind, showing a mithril-like texture in the sunlight.
Those ruby-like pupils even flashed with a faint blue halo.
The next moment.
A soft drink came from Joey's mouth.
The surging secret power suddenly poured out.
The target is not the tide of beasts below, but the ground beneath the beasts’ feet.
boom!
A large area of soil collapsed with a crash, and the beasts' bodies fell uncontrollably into the pit.
Just one fall caused many beasts to be seriously injured, making it difficult for them to get up again.
Not only that, the soil in the pit quickly softened into something like a swamp.
The beasts lost most of their ability to move just by stepping on it.
The more you struggle, the deeper you sink.
This is the chain magic of [Subterranean Spell] plus [Swamp Spell].
Simply speaking, these two spells themselves are not particularly high-level magic.
But when used together, especially on the battlefield where the beast tide is attacking at this time, it has an unexpected effect.
And the scene was extremely spectacular, as almost one-third of the beast tide was affected by these two magics.
The roars and wails of the ferocious beasts suddenly echoed through the sky.
The speed of the entire beast wave slowed down instantly.
In fact, with Joey's current ability, it is not impossible to cast more lethal magic.
But the girl knew very well that at the moment, it was more important to control the pace of the beasts than to kill them, so as not to cause an impact on [Rhine City].
Obviously, Joey's strategy was successful!
However, the range of these two spells was so wide that it was also a great burden for her.
So, after the spell was finished, Joey's face immediately turned pale, and his body swayed for a while, and he was about to fall backwards.
Fortunately, Shane was quick-witted and immediately stepped forward to support Joey.
Joey fell into Shane's arms, still on his shoulders, and looked at Sha Jingjing next to him provocatively.
Sha Jingjing was a little worried about her, but when she saw her provocative eyes, she immediately realized it.
Well, it turns out that she had calculated it all!
Deliberately exhausted her magic power, so weakly fell into the arms of the Holy Son!
‘Damn! Despicable stranger! ! ’
Sha Jingjing widened her eyes. She was just a little loyal, but she was not stupid!
However, Sha Jingjing couldn't think of a way to expose Joey for a while.
Moreover, no matter what Joey thought in her heart, judging from the results, she did use up her secret power, which in return restricted the movements of many beasts and protected [Rhine City] in disguise.
If I really want to say it, Sha Jingjing has to thank her!
Because of this, Sha Jingjing could only stare at Joey angrily, but couldn't say a word.
Of course, Xia En didn't know the potential intrigue between the two women, but just praised sincerely.
"Joey, you did a good job, thank you for your hard work."
But at this time, Joey whispered: "That, I want it too..."
"What do you want?"
Xia En was stunned, and didn't quite understand the girl's intention.
But after Joey pointed to the top of his head, he suddenly realized.
It turned out to be a pat on the head!
Thinking about this clearly, Xia En couldn't help but smile bitterly.
You are not a big dog of the [Yongyue Clan], why do you have an obsession with patting the head?
However, although Joey's request was tricky, it was actually very easy to satisfy.
Shane stroked Joey's little head while looking at the bottom of the city wall.
In fact, with the chain reaction of this [ground sinking technique] and [swamp technique], the situation was basically settled.
Although the beasts' resistance was still fierce, they were now like stranded whales and tigers in cages.
The threat had been greatly reduced.
It was only necessary to patiently remove their claws and teeth and destroy their living forces bit by bit, and [Rhine City] could completely swallow this beast tide.
Shane knew from the beginning that this beast tide was not only a crisis, but also a great opportunity.
I don't know how much flesh and blood, bones and scales can be cut off from the corpse of such a strange beast.
The former is an important food reserve, and the latter are all good materials.
Whether it is for personal use or to sell on the Seven Seas, it can bring great benefits to [Rhine City].
And in the beast tide, there must be many beasts that can survive.
Shane plans to exchange some of the alien species for merit in the Federation, and the rest can be kept in [Rhine City] first.
Use contracts, magic and other means to make them a helper of [Rhine City].
After that, whether it is to give them the organization of [Rhine City], formally become regular, or domesticate them into livestock that lay eggs and produce milk, all are things that can be considered.
It just happens to solve the problem of insufficient high-end combat power in [Rhine Secret Realm].
It can be said that as long as this wave of beasts is eaten, [Rhine City] will definitely usher in a rapid development period.
To make an inappropriate analogy.
In fantasy novels, the beast tide is like a natural disaster brought down by [Rhine Secret Realm].
If you can't resist it, everything will end naturally.
But if you can survive it, you can get a lot of benefits from it.
At this time, the battle between Feiya and An is still going on in the field.
A fierce beast covered in armor lowered its head and rushed towards the two fiercely.
Feiya flew up into the air like the wind, and the gloves in his hand turned into a long sword. With a light thrust, he stabbed into the vitals of the armored beast, so deep that the handle disappeared.
He ran with the armored beast for a while, and then jumped to another beast.
The armored beast ran for hundreds of meters, and suddenly its legs softened and it fell to the ground.
Feiya's fighting style is very different from before, and it is more agile and agile.
All the beasts that have come into contact with him will fall to the ground after a while - this is another kind of [Holy Blood] talent he has awakened.
Watching Feiya's battle is like watching a song and dance, which is indescribably pleasing to the eye.
An on the other side took another route.
Open and close, simple and rough.
The big sword swung horizontally in the beast tide, sweeping down a piece, and then swung horizontally, sweeping down another piece...
Seeing the swamps all over the ground and the results of the battle between Feiya and the two, Xia En felt quite moved and relieved.
It turned out that before he knew it, his crew had grown to such a level that everyone had become a powerful person.
He didn't even need to take action himself, and he could basically survive this beast tide crisis.
However, at this moment.
A shocking roar suddenly sounded in the beast tide.
"Roar!!!"
A giant creature that looked like a wild boar stood out in the chaotic beast tide.
Although this wild boar looked like a creature, it was very different from other beasts.
Its body was silver-white, and both its hair and skin gave people a texture that was closer to stone than flesh and blood.
It's like a strange creature made of silver and white stones.
Moreover, as the stone pig moved, the mud under its feet miraculously returned to its normal state.
There seemed to be an invisible area surrounding the silver-white stone pig, and it was still expanding as it moved.
It’s like a special field!
The appearance of this stone pig allowed the ferocious beasts trapped in the quagmire to regain a certain degree of mobility and have a tendency to charge again.
Seeing this scene, Xia En's expression changed slightly.
"Wait...what is that?"
Although he had never seen a similar creature in the [Rhine Secret Realm], he noticed a very familiar aura of mysterious power from the silver-white stone pig.
After carefully sensing it for a moment, Xia En showed a surprised expression.
"Is this breath [Rhinestone]?"
To be more precise, it is the breath of [Rhinestone Essence]!
In other words, this entire silver-white stone pig is made of [Rhinestone Essence]?
Thinking of this, Xia En's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a bit of passion in his eyes.
Good guy, there is such a treasure in [Rhine Secret Realm]?
You know, the current sales volume of [Rhinestone] in the Federation is so good that even Xia En is amazed.
In particular, the higher quality [Rhinestone Essence] has become a hot commodity that is in short supply and is extremely popular in both the Federal Navy and the [Chamber of Commerce Alliance].
Ms. Sophie, who was in charge of the contact, urged me several times to ask if there was more inventory.
If Xia En hadn't been blinded by greed, he might have wanted to sell the stone essence used to build [Rhine City].
It can also be seen from this.
Even in the [Rhine Secret Realm], [Rhinestone Essence] is a relatively scarce resource.
And now, there is actually such a huge stone pig made entirely of [Rhinestone Essence]. How can this not make Xia En excited?
On the side, Sha Jingjing suddenly realized.
"I remember that some time ago, there were traces of animal activity in the mine where [rhinestone] was excavated."
"So it turns out that this [Rhinestone Essence] is a naturally formed magical creature?"
"[Rhine Secret Realm] is really magical..."
at the same time.
A line of text flashed across Shane's panel.
[Exploration degree +0.8%! 】
An understanding arose in Xia En's heart. It was like discovering some important and unique species, which caused a change in the [Exploration Degree].
Thinking of this, Xia En no longer hesitated, stepped on the ground hard, jumped up high, and headed straight for the silver-white stone pig.
In mid-air, he activated the effect of [Giant Wristwheel].
Amidst the roar of Qi and blood, Xia En's body continued to expand and expand.
boom--
With the earth-shattering vibration, a majestic giant fell in front of the stone pig.
