Beidou Continent

After a whole night of practice, although Qingniao and Hua Qing did not refine all the spiritual energy absorbed into their bodies, their cultivation levels have stabilized in the God Servant Realm, and there is no longer the risk of falling at any time.

Just when they wanted to continue meditating, they heard the bells ringing loudly outside the inn. At the same time, Huang Ping's voice came from a little further away,"Prince Qi, Princess Protector, and Prince Yuheng have sent urgent news. Tiankui's army is attacking the city gate again. Please help us."

So. Attack again soon? Qingniao sighed slightly in his heart. It always remembers that its mission is to resolve the dispute between humans and beasts. Fighting with humans is not what it wants, let alone what it is good at.

However, this member of the demon sect is neither a human nor an orc, but he likes to drive the human and animal tribes to be pawns. Yesterday, he really should have taken advantage of the weak spiritual power to kill a few culprits of the demon tribe as a deterrent. , now it is a missed opportunity, it is too late to say anything.

Wasn’t the battering ram built by Roost destroyed by the blue bird? It had only been a day, but what trick did Tiankui's army come up with to attack the city? The military situation was urgent, and everyone in color had no intention of delaying and quickly rushed to the gate of the old capital.

Approaching the city gate, the dark clouds in the sky outside the city cast the shadow of war in everyone's eyes, and everyone's heart felt heavy, as if a big stone was weighing on them.

When they reached the top of the city, everyone realized that the dark clouds were not clouds, but swarms of insects. To be precise, they were ant clouds composed of large swarms of flying ants. In mid-air, black ants the size of sesame seeds flapped their two pairs of transparent wings and landed on the city gate in groups.

"not good! They are wood-eating fire ants that feed on wood and attack with fire!"Li Li's thoughts came out eagerly. Seeing that everyone was still confused, he could only continue to explain:"This kind of wood-eating fire ants feed on wood. It is said that within half a year, a thousand wood-eating fire ants will reproduce with them. The offspring that come out can turn a forest into sawdust; if they are in danger, they can even breathe fire. Have you ever seen the barren land in the northeast corner of the Weighing Forest? It was originally caused by wood-eating fire ants."

At this time, Yu Zongheng also saw Wei Zi and the others, and walked over accompanied by Qing and Xuan. Wei Zi glanced at the two elders. Xuan was fine, but Qing's face was haggard and blue. , completely different from the radiant and proud appearance before. Looking at Yu Zongheng again, the most promising crown prince in the Sun Piao Alliance also had an anxious look on his face. It was obvious that Tiankui's army came to the city and gave him It's a lot of pressure.

After yesterday's short battle, the prince didn't dare to show off anymore and asked directly:"Xiao Zi, Bai Yang, do you have any way to kill these wood-eating fire ants? Before Wei

Zi could answer, Bai Yang asked instead,"Your Highness, has the gate of the old capital been protected against fire and moths in advance?""

Yu Zongheng nodded,"Of course there is protection. Otherwise, wouldn't the enemy be able to easily defeat the city by attacking with fire or eating insects? The city gate here is made of complete iron wood, and the outside is painted with seven layers of tung oil to prevent fire, water, and insect erosion."

He said it proudly, but everyone's expressions changed, especially Li Li. Wei Zi asked anxiously:"There is no alloy coating outside the city gate?"

Yu Zongheng was stunned for a moment, then showed a wry smile,"Xiao Zi, you really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are when you don't belong to the family. The mineral deposits on the Beidou Continent are not abundant, and the sources of mineral veins and crystals are mostly distributed in the foothills of Wuxian Mountain.

Not to mention anything else, Beidou coins made of fine steel have been outnumbered by one against ten for a long time, and their prices have soared since the road closure. Not to mention alloy, even if it is just fine steel, it is equivalent to putting money on the city gate. Look at this city gate that is dozens of feet high. Can we, Yuheng Kingdom, afford it?"
