Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 378 Line of Defense
Li Zhen’s identity bracelet automatically connected to Zhongdu City. Zhongdu City is the name of this huge city, which corresponds to Zhongdu City on the other side of the space rift.

He received an order from Zhongdu City, which was issued by a super intelligent computer.

Although there are a group of military staff and high-ranking generals in Zhongdu City, ordinary affairs will be analyzed and handled by the super-intelligent brain, and the staff and generals will only readjust when disagreements arise.

The order given to Li Zhen was to go to the base marked as No. 509 and garrison there.

He opened the map and checked Base 509, and found that the base was located at the border of kilometers and was one of the outermost lines of defense.

He did not hesitate for long. He came to participate in the war as a member of Aoki University, so he had to obey the unified command.

His figure turned into a streak of light and fled into the distance.

It didn't take long to reach one hundred thousand kilometers. The base here was built on the top of the mountain.

The top of the mountain has been flattened and a medium-sized war fortress has been built there, becoming Base No. 509.

After his identity was confirmed, Li Zhen entered Base No. 509.

The medium-sized war fortress is actually the entrance to the base, and the actual base is inside the mountain, which is hollowed out.

"Master Li, my name is Qiu Ning, and I welcome you very much!" Qiu Ning, who was in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, said enthusiastically.

Of course he was enthusiastic. Being at the forefront of the Immortal Country's occupied area, there were no great monks stationed at Base 509. He was a middle-stage Nascent Soul cultivator at the front, so he was also very nervous.

A cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul would be a very powerful existence in the Immortal Kingdom, but in the Demon Kingdom, especially in an invasion war between the two realms, it would be extremely insignificant.

He was still at the front and could be attacked at any time.

"Hello, what's the situation here?" Li Zhen responded with a smile and asked, pointing around.

In the belly of the mountain of the 509 base, robots are working everywhere and the soldiers are busy with something.

"A third-level mineral vein has been discovered here. There is a fourth-level spiritual ore at the core. It is being mined urgently. The fourth-level spiritual ore will be handed over, and the third-level spiritual ore will be used on site to build the base!" Qiu Ning explained.

"There is actually a fourth-level spiritual mine. It seems that the Demon Country really doesn't value spiritual mines!" Li Zhen exclaimed.

In the Immortal Kingdom, let alone the third-level mineral veins, even the first and second-level mineral veins would be taken seriously and carefully developed to ensure the continuation of the mineral veins as much as possible.

Let’s take a look at the Demon Country. A third-level mineral vein, with a fourth-level spiritual mine at its core, is just abandoned here with no one paying attention to it.

Not to mention that the Demon Kingdom is unable to detect the existence of third-level mineral veins, some of the Demon Kingdom's monsters possess olfactory perception and their ability to detect spiritual objects even far exceeds the technology of the Immortal Kingdom. How could they not be able to detect hard-level mineral veins?

It can only be said that the Demon Country does not attach importance to mineral veins. Compared with those spirit stone mines that can be used after mining, this kind of mineral veins that require deep processing before they can be used are relatively less valuable.

"It is said that the fourth-level spiritual plants in the core area of ​​the Demon Country grow in large groups, and the demon beasts can increase their cultivation just by taking the spiritual fruits!" Qiu Ning said enviously.

Li Zhen didn't know whether this statement was propaganda from the Immortal Kingdom or whether it was true. He had not explored the Demon Kingdom very deeply and had no say on this.

"We only have two hours a day to restore our spiritual power. These two hours will change every day. We need to wait and monitor the movements of the Demon Country before making a decision!" Qiu Ning continued to introduce.

"There shouldn't be a fourth-level spiritual vein here, right?" Li Zhen asked in confusion.

If Yuanying Zhenjun wants to restore his spiritual power, he needs at least a fourth-level spiritual vein, but there is no spiritual vein on the mountain here, and even the war fortress uses its own energy.

As soon as he arrived, he felt something was strange. Without spiritual veins, how much combat power could the war fortress exert? It couldn't be said that ordinary low-level monsters also needed cultivators to deal with them.

There are three hundred soldiers in the base, but in his opinion, these soldiers are almost all engineers, not combat soldiers.

The only ones who were truly combatants were Qiu Ning and himself.

Although Yuanying Zhenjun has extremely strong endurance, it is impossible for him to stay awake all the time. No matter how abundant the spiritual power of the Yuanying in his body is, it cannot withstand long-term consumption.

"The spiritual energy is provided by Zhongdu City. Today's spiritual energy will be restored in three hours. You will know then!" Qiu Ning explained. Li Zhen became interested and wanted to see how the Immortal Kingdom did it.

Just as I was thinking about it, a shrill alarm sounded in my ears.

"The beast tide is coming!" Qiu Ning said calmly.

He opened a light curtain, which displayed the scene outside.

Groups of monsters are rushing towards the defense line, which is still some distance away.

"I'll go out and take care of them!" Li Zhen said in a deep voice.

Although the levels of the monsters in the beast tide were not high, there were too many of them. The energy of the war fortress was limited. When the energy of the war fortress was exhausted and the monsters got close to it, the steel defense of the war fortress could not stop the monsters' sharp claws.

"We don't need to take action. We only need to deal with it when a fourth-level monster appears!" Qiu Ning spoke out to stop them.

As he spoke, Li Zhen felt a strong energy reaction occurring in the base, and he released his spiritual sense.

He suddenly realized that he had underestimated the Immortal Kingdom. The Immortal Kingdom was able to list science and cultivation as parallel research directions, and naturally had corresponding results.

With his spiritual sense, he saw a super large formation with Zhongdu City as the center and bases in various places as the core of the formation.

The spiritual energy of Zhongdu City is transported to various bases through the energy channels of the super-large formation. The war fortresses in the bases then have sufficient energy supply, which allows them to not only launch continuous attacks but also form a strong defense.

At this moment, Li Zhen also understood the origin of the spiritual energy needed to restore spiritual power for two hours every day. As long as the super-large formation was activated, the spiritual energy of Zhongdu City could be transported to each base, and the Yuanying Zhenjun of each base would have fourth-level spiritual energy available.

Base No. 509 did not need the command of Li Zhen and Qiu Ning. The war fortress opened small flight channels and hundreds of unmanned aerial vehicles flew out.

After leaving the base, the unmanned aerial vehicles did not fly randomly, but instead hovered side by side in the energy channel of the super-large formation and merged into the formation.

Unmanned aerial vehicles have sufficient energy supply and no longer need to worry about energy issues.

The rune cannon on the unmanned aerial vehicle started attacking. The rune cannon's attack was not random. It was launched according to the battlefield analysis by the war fortress's intelligent brain and the formulated battle plan.

The rune shells accurately hit each monster. There seemed to be a lot of monsters in the beast tide, but under the accurate attack of the rune cannon, a large number of monsters fell on the way to charge.

Some of the stronger monsters in the beast tide will be given special attention by the main guns of the war fortress.

When the main gun was fired, not only the stronger monster suffered, but even the area near the monster was blasted into rubble by the main gun.

Li Zhen sensed the existence of a third-order monster at this time. Although the third-order monster had a low cultivation level, this was only in a large-scale war. In the eyes of ordinary cultivators, the third-order monster was an extremely terrifying existence. Even a Jindan Zhenren needed to be extremely cautious when facing a third-order monster.

According to what Qiu Ning said before, only when a fourth-level demon king appears will Yuanying Zhenjun need to take action. In that case, can this third-level monster be dealt with by the base?

Li Zhen did not look down on the base. This war fortress did have a strong attack power, but its strongest main gun was only of the third level. Coupled with the inflexibility of the main gun, it was somewhat difficult to kill a third-level monster.

If you encounter a third-level monster that is good at being flexible, the main gun will not be able to keep up with the reaction speed of the third-level monster, so there is no way to attack.

Just as he was thinking about it, a column of energy was emitted from the sky in the direction of Zhongdu City, crossing a distance of 100,000 kilometers and sweeping across the area where the third-level monster was located.

This energy column is a range attack. Unless a third-level monster possesses spatial abilities and can use them to escape immediately, it will be impossible for it to dodge the attack of the energy column.

An energy column attack from a distance of 100,000 kilometers only requires a slight adjustment of direction to sweep an area on the 100,000-kilometer defense line.

Li Zhen had witnessed the super weapon of the Immortal Kingdom without having to consider energy supply. Even if a large number of third-level monsters attacked, they could be easily dealt with.

It’s a pity that due to the energy limit, this kind of attack method can only kill a third-order monster at best, and the energy requirement is too high to be used on a large scale.
