Chapter 2858 There's a Second Way
Pi Litian is still desperately undermining the city's defenses, and the Mountain and River Solidification Formation is probably about to collapse. Once the formation is broken, Pi Litian can alter the terrain beneath Panlong City, making the city's defenses a joke.
Zhong Shengguang's gaze swept over the enemy troops, and unsurprisingly, he met Bi Litian's gaze.
This powerful demon was incredibly skilled. When the situation in Panlong City was very favorable, he used a single formation to send General Huyi and many powerful figures three hundred miles away, directly causing the situation in the Mingsha Forest battlefield to collapse.
It's nothing more than turning one's hand to make clouds or rain.
Pi Litian smiled at Zhong Shengguang and made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand:
Just wait, it'll be here soon.
Zhong Shengguang smiled slightly and ignored him.
The only good news is that the Qi beast "Panyu," which is good at burrowing, was killed by the Panlong army when it attacked the walls of Mingshalin Village. Otherwise, if they were to use the same trick again to burrow into the underground passages of Panlong City, how could they possibly withstand it?
Just then, Xu Shichu strode up the city gate tower and whispered a few words to Zhong Shengguang.
Zhong Shengguang's expression shifted slightly as he followed him into the hidden compartment in the south city wall. There was a secret room there, which also served as the central control station for the city wall.
"Your Majesty, look!"
Xu Shichu pointed to the protruding dragon head stone carving on the wall.
The dragon holds a round pearl in its mouth, smooth and lustrous, with a pearly sheen.
The Great Evolution Dzi Bead.
The barrier of Panlong City, the hardness and regenerative ability of the city walls, the combat energy of the Black Dragon Stone Carving, and the strength of the mountain and river solidification array in the southwest corner of Chipa Plateau all originate from the Dayan Heavenly Pearl.
But now, two cracks have appeared on the originally smooth surface of the bead!
Zhong Shengguang was not surprised at all, but his expression became even more grave: "The appearance of cracks means that the Dayan Heavenly Pearl is also about to collapse."
Xu Shichu asked anxiously, "Can't we hold out until dawn?"
Dawn was breaking when General Hong returned with his troops!
Zhong Shengguang shook his head: "Far from it. We'd be lucky if we could have another quarter of an hour."
Xu Shichu was greatly alarmed.
“The natural bridge is about to fall.” Zhong Shengguang said realistically, “The soldiers are holding the bridgehead to the death, but their energy is exhausted, and their advantage in terrain is being leveled.”
Panlong's Yuan Power was depleted. Not only did the soldiers not receive any buffs during battle, they also felt exhausted, as if their hands and feet were filled with lead, and they were also frustrated.
The only motivation for everyone to continue fighting right now is the expectation that reinforcements will arrive after dawn.
When resources are scarce, "hope" can also be a powerful driving force.
But human strength has its limits. After the Panlong soldiers held out for an hour, the Bega army's pressure grew stronger and stronger.
Before Zhong Shengguang went down the city wall, he saw dozens more Panlong warriors lying on the bridge.
Holding this place has become a matter of life and death.
Even though the Panlong soldiers fought bravely and relentlessly, there were signs that the Tiansheng Bridge was about to fall. Gao Huaiyuan and the Heavenly Demons were equally aware that once General Hong arrived at dawn, the battlefield situation would inevitably change.
They couldn't afford to lose, so they had to launch a furious attack.
Before dawn, this place will be the line between life and death for both sides!
Zhong Shengguang's understanding of this matter is both clear-headed and heartbreaking.
Xu Shichu remained silent for a few moments, then said, "Let's prepare to retreat. If we go to the Chipa Plateau, we can hold out against Beka for a while longer, at least until after sunrise."
"Once Panlong City is breached, both the military and civilians will collapse." The south gate is not only a physical defense line, but also the last psychological defense line for all the people of Panlong. If it is breached, the people's faith will also be lost, "not to mention that there are many elderly, weak, women and children in the city who cannot go far at all."
Without the protection of high walls and fortified city, the city's inhabitants, unable to run fast or hide far, could only be slaughtered by Bega's army.
The Heavenly Demon hates Panlong City to the core and will surely exterminate it completely.
Even if General Red can return by dawn, he'll still be facing this mess. Without the help of Panlong City, is General Red really confident in defeating Bega and the Great Demon?
Xu Shichu said in a low voice, "We have no other way out."
The city will eventually fall, and then what?
Then there will be widespread death and destruction. This will be the outcome regardless of whether they evacuate or not.
"some."
Is there a second way? Xu Shichu's eyes lit up.
“Borrowing power!” Zhong Shengguang said, “After I obtained the Great Square Pot, I signed a contract with the Black Dragon God’s soul, which allowed me to borrow the power of the Great Square Pot… once! I think it’s time to use it.”
"The power of the Great Square Pot!" Xu Shichu was overjoyed. But he was no longer naive, and upon further reflection, he realized something was amiss:
If the power of the Great Pot is so useful, why didn't the King use it earlier when the Battle of Mingsha Forest was so fierce?
"Are there any restrictions?"
“The power of the Dragon God is not so easy to borrow. But fortunately, the energy of the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl has not been exhausted and can still be used by me.” Zhong Shengguang reached out and touched the head of the black dragon stone sculpture.
"The city walls and the power of the black dragon stone carvings are the last line of defense protecting the soldiers and civilians in the city, but these stone dragons are not quick enough in their movements and reactions. That's because the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl has not been tainted by the mortal world for long enough and has not yet truly condensed its own spirit."
"If we can truly bring the Black Dragon Totem to life, our time to defend Panlong City will be greatly extended." Zhong Shengguang's thinking was very clear.
But Xu Shichu sensed something was amiss. He quickly asked, "How can the black dragon totem truly come to life?"
“The most convenient way is to infuse it with a spirit.” Zhong Shengguang took a deep breath. “I might even be able to transfer a small portion of the Great Square Pot’s power to the Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl, which would be the only way to restrain Pi Litian on the main battlefield!”
Xu Shichu asked cautiously, "What do you plan to use as its spirit?"
The Great Evolution Heavenly Pearl is a divine object; can its new spirit be infused at will?
"Myself."
At this point, Zhong Shengguang still felt a sense of emptiness. His opponent was simply too powerful. What if he played his last card but still failed? Then the entire city's residents would truly miss their final escape window and perish along with Panlong City!
Xu Shichu was shocked: "Absolutely not, you..."
Just then, Zhong Shengguang suddenly sensed something, abruptly raised his head, and interrupted him with a hiss.
"General Tiger Wing!"
He uttered those four words and then gently brushed his hand across the wall. Ripples appeared on the wall, and when they subsided, it became a clear mirror.
A person appeared in the picture.
The familiar faces and armor filled Xu Shichu with immense joy.
"General Tiger Wing, you're finally back!"
The kid finally showed up; they'd been waiting for ages!
He knew, of course, that He Lingchuan's ability to contact them meant he was not far from Mingsha Forest or Panlong City.
Zhong Shengguang stared intently at He Lingchuan, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
