Chapter 115: Going to the South
Seven days later, the war situation of the Cold Stream Valley started going downhill for the residents of the valley.
Twelve hundreds of zhangs tall black stonemen had joined the enemies’ team. The entire bodies of these stonemen were made from black moonstones, and each of them had a red slave-mark branded on their foreheads; obviously, they were all slaves under someone’s control.
“Ho!”
Accompanied with mad roars, one of the black stonemen smashed hard on the ground with both hands; instantly, a hundreds of zhang high hill shrank quickly, and condensed into a round stone ball that had a radius of one zhang. The stoneman then waved his arm furiously in the air and threw the stone ball towards the fence wall. His movements were surprisingly fast, his arms even left a few afterimages in the air, and the stone ball darted towards the fence wall at a speed, which even Ji Hao couldn’t see clearly, then hit on the fence wall along with a thunderous bang.
Bang!!
The fence wall shook violently.
The stoneman’s power was incredibly great, combined with those weird spell-symbols, which were shining on the surface of the stone ball, it had a great effect on the fence-magic-formation that had been supporting the fence wall; only with one shot, the power of the fence-magic-formation had largely been lowered.
Mining slaves were running fast, carrying large amounts of fire essence crystals and jade pieces into the fence-magic-formation. Countless spell symbols were shining around those fire essence crystals and jade pieces, which had piled up into a small hill, continuously turning into great power and replenishing the fence wall’s power.
However, everyone could clearly see a human-head-sized pit on the fence wall, which was left by the impact from the stone ball that was thrown over by the black stoneman; although this was only a small pit, it proved that the enemies already possessed the power necesary to break into the Cold Stream Valley.
“The Black Water Serpent Clan could never have enough power to enslave powerful creatures like these!” said Ji Zhuo while gnashing his teeth, looking at the twelve stonemen outside the fence wall, and the few weird stonemen manipulators, who were standing behind those stonemen, wearing black cloaks, their entire bodies wrapped in a layer of faint black mist, and continued, “We, the Fire Crow Clan and the Black Water Serpent Clan, know each other too well...they could never have enslaved these creatures, neither could they afford to feed these gigantic stonemen.”
While Ji Zhuo was speaking, all twelve stonemen launched their attacks simultaneously. They gathered large amounts of sands and stones from the ground, condensed them into stone balls, and threw them towards the fence wall.
Muffled swooshing sounds never stopped. Fire sparks were sent towards all directions when those stone balls hit against the fence wall; the fence wall was shaking intensely, and fragments of all sizes were falling from the fence wall, now and then.
Even though the Cold Stream Valley had enough jade and fire essence to replenish the power of the fence wall, with the speed these black stonemen were attacking, the fence would only be able to last for a month tops, after which, it would be completely shattered by these stonemen.
Stone and his friends were roaring in rage behind the fence wall; they were beating their own chests and shouting provokingly towards those black stonemen outside the fence wall. Accompanied with their deep roars, simple and ancient, natural-formed spell symbols emerged from the bodies of Stone and his friends. Soon, large amounts of mud started gushing out of the ground, up to the wall, and covering the entire fence wall.
After the surface of the fence wall was covered with mud, it turned into layers of hard rock. But these layers of rock were not as firm as the original body of the wall; tens of zhangs long pieces of rocks would instantly shatter into ashes after a stone ball had hit against the fence wall; Stone and his friends were ceaselessly mustering mud gushing out of the ground, and piling up into new layers of rock; while on one side the black stonemen were madly throwing stone balls towards the fence wall, the rock layers on the fence wall were continuously becoming thicker as well; as such, the rock layer and the black stonemen’s attack had achieved somewhat of a rough equilibrium.
Ji Zhuo and Ji Xia smiled simultaneously. Although these balck stonemen were still a great threat to the Cold Stream Valley, with the help of Stone and his friends they were atleast not an imminent threat. With the continuous addition of rock layers, those black stonemen would need at least three months to break into the Cold Stream Valley.
“Hao, come with me!” said Ji Zhuo while dragging Ji Hao’s arm, and leading Ji Hao and Ji Xia deeper into the valley.
A loud shouting sound that seemingly even shook the sky, came from outside the valley, causing tens of thousands of enemies to launch their attacks towards the fence wall, while shouting.
