The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 151 Arrives, Five-Colored Warriors

With a chuckle, Vajra Sword felt a chill run through his entire body.

Then, all sorts of insects emerged from the ground in an overwhelming manner.

"This is... a Gu Master?"

If we were to name the most despairing and terrifying profession, Gu Master would undoubtedly be among the top contenders.

The sheer number of insects was enough to send chills down anyone's spine.

Jingangjian had no idea how these people could endure the endless swarms of insects crawling around in front of him, and even on his body.

A Gu Master must use their own magical power to nurture the insect eggs in order to make them as easy to control as an extension of their own body.

Just thinking about it fills me with dread.

Despite having such thoughts in mind, the Vajra Sword immediately activated the formation.

The protective shield was opened; it was originally intended to protect the mountain gate.

But Qin Hao has just developed Qinghe Bay and has just built this palace.

The surrounding area has not been officially developed yet; the geomancers have simply leveled the land and straightened out the earth's veins.

Next, it is necessary to fertilize it to nurture the spiritual veins.

Spirit plant masters also need to modify the soil, cultivate spiritual soil, and make the soil more fertile.

After that, whether transplanting spiritual plants or cultivating them from seeds, everything will go much more smoothly.

But at that moment, a swarm of insects attacked.

The Vajra Sword had no choice but to activate the formation.

Those who remained came out of their respective quiet rooms and witnessed this scene.

Cultivators generally have good night vision, and with the presence of luminous pearls for illumination within the palace, they have no problem with seeing objects.

But the disgusting and terrifying scene before them unconsciously reminded them of the day they first entered Fuyu County.

It was the same overwhelming swarm of insects.

However, the insects today seem to have changed; they are no longer the same kind as before.

That's true, the Soul-Devouring Gu isn't very suitable for Qinghe Bay.

Because this place has the most gunpowder weapons.

However, Gu Masters are not limited to the Soul-Devouring Gu.

On the contrary, the Soul-Devouring Gu is actually a relatively basic type of Gu worm, which wins simply by having a large number of them.

"Help me quickly."

Vajra Sword had already used his own spirit sword. As a sword cultivator, besides his spirit sword, he also possessed a few protective magic treasures.

However, the Spirit Sword is very adept at dealing with enemies that are humanoid in size, or even slightly larger.

Dealing with these tiny insects is particularly difficult.

The spirit sword would often spin around several times, killing quite a few insectoids.

However, compared to the vast number of Gu worms before them, it was but a drop in the ocean.

The number killed was less than the number released.

A Gu Master doesn't release all the Gu worms at once; they can't control that many at once.

You also need to keep your cards up your sleeve.

However, they often carry Gu insect bags with spatial properties, and carry a large number of Gu insects with them.

Seeing this, Vajra Sword also became somewhat anxious.

On the contrary, a fire cultivator next to him summoned a fire gourd.

A large amount of flames shot out from the gourd.

This flame was no ordinary fire, but real fire.

These Gu worms are not low-level Gu worms like the Soul-Devouring Gu, but are equivalent to cultivators of the first realm.

Of course, individual Gu worms are relatively weak. However, a cultivator at the first level of cultivation can deal with more than dozens of Gu worms if they are not careless.

The real fire that shoots out of this flaming gourd is even more effective.

Every moment, hundreds, or even thousands, of Gu worms are burned to death.

"Damn it!"

The female Gu master in the shadows was furious; these Gu worms were nothing special.

But each one was nurtured by her with time, effort, and a lot of spirit stones.

Yes, raising them in batches.

Over there, some are using flags to unleash lightning.

Thunder is also a natural enemy of this type of Gu worm.

It was almost like a thunderbolt; the sound alone was enough to kill him.

This is what is meant by "Awakening of Insects".

They also used real water to drown the Gu worms one by one.

The Five Elements, Thunder, Lightning Arrow, Shadow.

They have all kinds of magical items with different attributes, and the effects are quite good.

But it's only good.

The female Gu master in the shadows gritted her teeth, feeling that she had suffered a huge loss this time.

But it's not a big problem.

Compared to the number of Gu worms, this loss is nothing.

Anyway, it's a business trip, and there will be reimbursement.

We can train them again when we get back.

We can also take this opportunity to eliminate some low-level Gu worms and cultivate more high-level Gu worms that we didn't dare to cultivate before or didn't have the money to cultivate.

Vajra Sword was also getting anxious, just in time to see a number of geomancers coming out.

Vajra Sword's eyes lit up: "All the geomancers, come here, and the spirit plant masters too. You don't need to go out and attack the enemy. But I remember Brother Song once said that the people from your Futong Money House can all use the power of money to communicate with the gods, right?"

The geomancers had never experienced such a scenario before.

In the past, who would dare to offend Fortis Bank?
Moreover, geomancers are not combat professionals, and they do not need to face direct combat.

But look at these insects that have almost spread to the entire defensive shield.

It even blocked out the starlight in the sky.

If it weren't for the luminous pearls illuminating the palace, they wouldn't even be able to see what was happening outside.

Yes, there is.

Although I was worried and scared, there was no chance to regret it.

Before they arrived, Fortis Bank had already explained their situation.

They were all willing to take on these dangers for the high rewards.

But at this moment, both sides were trembling.

"Alright, you all join the fight. These low-level Gu worms aren't difficult to deal with. You can team up and use Great Xia Tongbao to directly convert them into fire attacks. Form a team and attack in the same direction."

Because the geomancers were not very strong, their magical power was relatively impure, and their numbers were not large.

However, with many people working together, they quickly inflicted enormous damage on the Gu worms.

Upon seeing this, Vajra Sword nodded slightly.

But he knew the danger was far from over.

It's impossible for the other side to send only one Gu Master.

A chilling sound rang out all around, and even the protective shield seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

"Another one has joined, is it a wizard?"

Within the Ten Thousand Mountains, the most abundant creatures are various kinds of Gu insects.

Besides Gu Masters, there are also Gu Warriors who modify their bodies with various Gu insects.

And wizards.

Wizards do not specialize in the art of poisons and insects, but rather in the art of the soul.

Hearing these sounds, it was like hearing ghosts howling and wolves wailing.

Even the Vajra Sword frowned, feeling somewhat disgusted.

Some of the geomancers and plant cultivators even vomited blood, a consequence of the backlash.

In this situation, even the Vajra Sword couldn't help.

The figure from the shadows frowned, thought for a moment, and then took out an ancient zither.

He reached out and rested his hand on the zither, and the five notes of the pentatonic scale flashed by.

A song to ward off evil.

It was like a clear spring washing over the soul, giving the Vajra Sword a jolt.

This is?

Although he didn't know what it was, Vajra Sword's mind raced, and he laughed loudly: "Don't worry, how could the Dragon King not leave behind some trump cards before he left? The Dragon King arranged for experts in his palace, but this is just child's play. We can handle it ourselves, we don't need any experts."

Although he didn't know who was playing the music, he was certain it wasn't them.

Since that's the case, let's just push the blame onto Qin Hao.

As expected, everyone assumed that Vajra Sword had been appointed as the person in charge of the palace after Qin Hao's departure.

What's arranged in the palace is unknown to others, but Vajra Sword always knows.

Little did they know that Qin Hao had left behind methods to train everyone, but he hadn't told anyone about them.

"The wizard's methods don't seem to be working."

A loud sound rang out, and then a burly man walked over.

He was about three meters tall, with bulging muscles all over his body, and the ground seemed to shake every time he walked.

This person has extremely high muscle density. Although he is only three meters tall, he probably weighs at least several hundred kilograms, or even a thousand kilograms.

With such a heavy weight, it's no wonder there's such vibration as it only has two feet on the ground.

The low-level Gu worms have been almost completely burned.

However, at the same time, the protective shield released by the Six Doors' grand formation was also in grave danger.

Fortunately, there were other formations inside this palace.

"As expected, how could the Dragon King not have thought of this?"

If they relied solely on the formation of the Six Doors, they wouldn't have survived at all.

Another large formation rose up.

The starlight fell upon everyone, and the geomancers and plant masters felt their almost depleted magical power gradually recovering.

With another wave of his hand, Vajra Sword released a large amount of spiritual liquid, which was collected into bottles and tossed to everyone present.

"Don't be stingy, there's plenty of spiritual liquid."

After this, everyone deserves credit.

The Dragon King is not a stingy person; he bestows rewards upon everyone.

The way Vajra Sword was used, and his movements, shocked everyone.

Yes, Qin Hao is really generous.

Previously, when bestowing magical treasures, everyone except those who followed Qin Hao received four or five magical treasures.

Otherwise, the battle today wouldn't have lasted this long.

These geomancers and plant masters, strictly speaking, were all employees of Futong Money Shop, and they received considerable rewards.

The momentum is building here.

The Vajra Sword then saw that behind the Gu Warrior was a large group of Gu Warriors.

It seems that the leader is either the captain or an instructor.

The mountain people in the Ten Thousand Mountains also learned some of the rules of the Great Xia Dynasty, but not much.

Even the Vajra Sword can only be used to deploy troops, but everyone else has someone to deal with them.

"I'll deal with that wizard."

But there are still a large number of Gu warrior squads that no one is dealing with.

If they rely on formations, they can hold out for a long time.

Should we call for help?

How can we call the Dragon King back from Falling Star Lake?

That would be so embarrassing.

This is the first task the Dragon King gave me.

If I can't even get past this first hurdle, how can I demonstrate my strength and get trained?
As a rogue cultivator, he needs a platform and opportunities.

But in reality, his performance was already quite good.

All I can say is that we have too many enemies.

Qin Hao didn't have enough manpower left behind.

The stalemate has lasted for several hours now, since the beginning.

It was only about two hours until dawn.

"Hesitation when a decision should be made will inevitably lead to chaos."

Having made up his mind, Vajra Sword took out a whistle and blew it.

At that very moment, a large number of aquatic creatures emerged from the nearby Qinghe River.

Mainly composed of shrimp and crab species.

This is the main melee unit of the Dragon Palace.

In addition, there are some fish demons and clam demons, who mainly use water-based magic.

This was clearly unexpected by the other party.

"Damn it, when did these aquatic creatures of Pengze Lake arrive?"

Although Pengze Lake is not too far from here, it is not close enough to provide support at any time.

Moreover, they had been keeping an eye on things all along, but never noticed any aquatic creatures leaving Pengze Lake.

As for whether to attack Pengze Lake or to conduct reconnaissance at close range.

They don't dare yet.

Even the Gu worms dared not approach.

It seems there are natural enemies and great threats over there.

"Haha, friends from the Ten Thousand Mountains, do you need any help?"

In the north, there is a group of shirtless "savages" whose muscles are no less impressive than those of Gu warriors, and who wield various bone and even stone weapons.

Their speed was by no means slow, or rather, even faster than the previous group of Gu warriors.

"Northern barbarians? Damn them!"

Vajra Sword was at a loss for what to do.

He has just made his move and is already engaged in combat with the opposing wizard.

But he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

The next moment, five five-colored warriors rose from the ground, each four zhang tall, no shorter than the group of barbarians. They held clubs in their hands and charged towards the barbarians.

"this?"

They all knew of the existence of the Five-Colored Warriors.

Previously, the Five-Colored Warriors were only used to assist geomancers in construction.

At this moment, these five-colored warriors were actually fighting against the barbarian.

That martial arts skill looked quite formidable.

"No, you're telling me these five-colored warriors are for building houses?"

Okay, I know that the Taoist sect uses five-colored warriors as menial tasks.

But this kind of force?
Indeed, they rarely saw the Five-Colored Warriors anyway.

These are talismans that only direct descendants of the Taoist lineage can learn; unorthodox Taoists and those from minor sects are not even qualified to learn them.

It's true that they don't understand.

Just as Vajra Sword breathed a sigh of relief, a large number of demons surged in from another direction.

This?
Five more five-colored warriors appeared.

Yes, I seem to remember that the Dragon King summoned ten five-colored warriors before.

These five powerful warriors, when combined, can put up a fight even in the third realm.

But that's probably not enough?

There are too many demons.

The person below had a smirk.

"Since five are not enough, let's have five more."

Then, five more five-colored warriors rose from the ground and headed towards the demon race.

"What the hell! This isn't how you summon the Five-Colored Warriors, is it?"

Although it is said that the Five-Colored Warrior is a high-level talisman that only direct disciples of the Taoist sect can cultivate.

But this thing also needs to draw power from the mother talisman.

You can't summon as many as you want.

To put it simply, the essence of these five-colored warriors is the power of the Mother Talisman.

Generally speaking, a direct descendant is responsible for training five warriors of five colors.

That is, one of each of the five elements.

Those who are more talented are the ten most powerful.

But there are fifteen of them here?

That's a bit freakish.

It should be noted that when the Five-Colored Warriors are released individually, they are no different from ordinary cultivators.

But that's already strong enough.

Looking at these five-colored warriors, they are all a level above ordinary cultivators, truly elites.

When the five elements are combined, it can even fight elite cultivators.

Fifteen at once is already extremely astonishing.

They can do this without waiting for their own people to react, or for the other side to escalate the situation.

Five more five five-colored warriors joined the battle.

"Damn it, why are you still here?"

Even if you're using a piecemeal approach, this isn't how you do it.

What puzzled the mountain people of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the northern barbarians, and the demon race was what happened next.

The Five-Colored Warriors were practically free.

Five figures rose from the ground and joined the battle.

Even the Vajra Sword almost forgot that it was still in battle.

The other party was completely at a loss.

Only the Five-Colored Warriors remembered the battle, and in an instant, they killed a large number of enemies.

"How to do?"

"Let's call for help."

"Where are the experts in the clan?"

At this point, the experts from the three races, including Wu Gu, were also somewhat exhausted from running around.

"How is this going?"

"Didn't they say that the fourth realm cultivators had all left?"

"The departure of the Fourth Realm does not mean the absence of the Third Realm."

"You're telling me this is the third realm?"

"Witchbone, how did you gather your intelligence?"

Wu Gu was also extremely annoyed. Those guys in charge of intelligence in the shadows should all be arrested and hanged.

But what exactly is this thing that looks so much like a living being, yet doesn't resemble a flesh and blood creature?
puppet?
Are there such anthropomorphic puppets?

If it's a human being, why doesn't the Blood Curse work?
In a moment of distraction, Wu Gu knew something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next moment, his opponent seized the opportunity and ripped off one of his arms.

The witch bone turned into black smoke and disappeared. When it reappeared, it was already ten feet away.

But this did not bring him any sense of security.

As for the barbarians and demons, he couldn't care less.

He didn't even care about the Gu warriors anymore.

In the distance, those little guys in the second realm are being slaughtered.

This place is really eerie.

Why is it that a mere second-realm cultivator can summon more than thirty five-colored warriors?

These five colored warriors together, five of them, are equivalent to a cultivator approaching the third realm.

These people in the third realm seem to pose no threat whatsoever.

The opponent's strength is clearly superior...

The sense of threat returned, and Wugu could no longer care about his companions.

He fell to the ground and turned into a piece of black bone.

The person has vanished without a trace.

"Damn you, Wugu!"

Then, like a domino that had fallen, a chain reaction ensued.

The experts at the third realm here collapsed much earlier than the younger generation over there.

Then, even the experts of the third realm couldn't hold on any longer.

"run."

"Let's see who uses the most methods."

The demon race either cuts off its tail to survive or cuts off its wings to die in its place.

The Gu Warrior secretly stirred up the various Gu worms within his body, causing them to devour his own flesh and blood.

Then, a giant Gu worm burst out of its body.

But the giant Gu worm didn't dare to linger; it found a direction and quickly fled.

Seeing this, the barbarians had no other choice.

He pounded his chest with both hands, and his heart pounded even harder.

A spray of blood mist was emitted, attempting to contaminate the approaching puppet.

Before the puppets could come forward.

The barbarian's flesh and blood scattered everywhere, and one of his hearts disappeared into the ground.

At this moment, the final expert of the third realm, before even making an appearance, had already fled in defeat.

Meanwhile, the battlefield in the second realm is also reaching its breaking point.

The Gu Master looked at the battlefield, and there were still experts from the third realm who had not yet shown up.

With a determined effort, she threw open the bag of Gu worms, and a large number of Gu worms surged in all directions.

"what are you doing?"

Before the Vajra Sword could speak, it was the barbarian who spoke first.

But the Gu worms did not respond, and the Gu Master transformed into black smoke and merged into the Gu worms.

"retreat."

The sound of the Vajra Sword came, and he ordered his men to retreat first.

Starlight fell from above, protecting them.

This is a protective formation on the Star Guide Ship; the Gu worms couldn't break through it at all.

So, by decisively abandoning the plan, they ended up enveloping a group of barbarians.

Ah!
The screams had barely begun when the curtain fell.

The Gu worms continued to move at high speed. The Vajra Sword thought for a moment, and then star rays kept falling from above its head.

Each time, it was able to eliminate a large number of Gu worms.

But within that plume of black smoke, there seemed to be an endless number of Gu worms.

Moreover, as the barbarians were devoured, bloodstains appeared on the outer perimeter.

Each time a stellar ray falls, it pierces through the crimson hue.

The air was filled with the unpleasant smell of blood.

It had a fishy, ​​foul odor.

Everyone else, seeing this, also hid away.

Some enemies failed to dodge in time and were killed by our own side.

Seeing this, the battlefield of the second realm had also collapsed.

"Gather together, then follow up and kill!"

There's no such thing as "don't pursue a cornered enemy."

The area has been protected by arrays, preventing these enemies from getting close before.

The first to enter the array's range were the Gu worms.

This gave the diamond sword enough time to react.

At this moment, although the formation was not fully activated, it was still holding back some of its power.

This is to protect our own side, and also to reserve some strength.

They can surprise us again next time.

Within the protection of the formation, the danger of being followed and pursued is not significant.

Before long, they reached the edge of the formation.

Vajra Sword promptly gave the order: "Stop, everyone come back."

Next came the stage of cleaning up the battlefield and tallying casualties.

Fortunately, on the human side, apart from a few who were seriously injured...

But he was rescued in time, given some medicine, and after a few more days of rest, he should be fine.

On the aquatic side, there were some casualties.

But not many; only seven or eight shrimp and crab soldiers died.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

There have been quite a few battles like this already.

The current result is already a huge victory.

Just as Vajra Sword was about to visit Qin Hao's palace, he heard Qin Hao's voice in his ear.

"You handled it quite well. You'll be in charge from now on. Don't tell anyone else; just say it was a method I prepared beforehand."

Qin Hao does not intend to reveal his past or future self for the time being.

Qinghe Bay is not completely safe yet.

As for the other side sending a fourth-realm expert to attack.

It's unlikely for the time being.

You can do it, and so can I.

Below the fourth realm, there is still room for maneuver.

The fourth realm is like nuclear weapons in the age of firearms.

If it is used, the consequences will be unimaginable.

If it were a fight between people at the fourth level, then that would be fine.

Do you really think I wouldn't bully the weak?

Before despair sets in, everyone still shares this tacit understanding.

At this moment, Qin Hao was meditating with his eyes closed in the Dragon Palace of Falling Star Lake.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, frowned, and then relaxed them.

The same applies to the future self who is receiving visitors outside.

However, he only paused for a moment.

A female sword cultivator beside him smiled and asked, "Brother Qin, what's wrong?"

Qin Hao smiled and waved his hand: "I just remembered something, it's nothing. By the way, Junior Sister Miao, tell me more about Nanzhao. I'm quite interested in Nanzhao. Oh, right, I heard that there are descendants of Nuwa in Nanzhao?"

Indeed, this female sword cultivator is a rising star of the Miao family, one of the four great families known for its Absolute Life Sword technique.

Although she is a woman, her swordsmanship is in no way inferior to that of a man.

What intrigued Qin Hao even more was that the Miao people actually came from the Nanzhao Kingdom.

Nanzhao was one of the small kingdoms in the south, but it was very powerful.

The Miao people, who possess the "Sword of Absolute Life" from the Four Swords of Life-Slaying, were not the only ones in Nanzhao who held sway over the country.

Furthermore, the descendants of Nuwa are not to be underestimated.

In addition, there are a large number of Gu Masters.

Some people even wonder if the Nanzhao Kingdom and the Shiwan Mountains were connected.

They are all used to cultivate Gu worms.

Previously, Qin Hao had found it somewhat strange that Miao Xinwei from the Nanzhao Kingdom had visited.

They even thought the other party was there to provoke them.

After all, the Soul-Devouring Gu is also a major weapon of Nanzhao.

But the other party remained extremely friendly, even a little too friendly.
