Chapter 1646 Getting Closer
Ding Qingshan, one of Qingyang's Qing Guards, who was originally going to compete with He Lingchuan at the Yaowang Birthday Ceremony, is proficient in many kinds of weapons. The magic weapon he sacrificed at this time was a few thin silver threads. The stone beast that was sticking to the pillar pounced on him, and he pulled the silver threads into a coil and put it forward. With extremely fast movements, he caught the beast's neck.
This time it was like a wild dog being tied up with a rope, no matter how hard it struggled, it was useless. The pillar beast was small, and Ding Qingshan only needed to lift its four legs off the ground, and it would be unable to attack the enemy.
He used this method to catch two pillar beasts.
Seeing this, another green guard nearby picked up a sledgehammer and hit the pillar beast on the forehead.
The hammer head was emitting a black glow, and it was obvious that it was not an ordinary item.
"Stop!" Ding Qingshan was unable to stop it, and with two bangs, the pillar beast's head was smashed into pieces.
His strength was so great that ordinary palace guards couldn't even chip away at the copper skin of the pillar beasts.
However, even though the pillar-sticking beast was chopped open, it did not fall down on the spot. The stones on the ground quickly rolled together, re-forming its head, and then found its body to fit in.
Ding ding ding, the refurbished pillar beast returns again!
"Sure enough!" Ding Qingshan cursed fiercely.
This thing is not only made of iron, but it can also regenerate even after being blown up. When others saw this, they felt hopeless:
How is this played?
How can a flesh and blood body defeat this thing? It knows no fatigue or pain, and it can wear you out to death!
Qing Yang suddenly pointed at the pillar-sticking beast that was rushing towards him and said to the strong man, "Hit its backside!"
Even when fighting against stone beasts, people are accustomed to attacking their heads, necks, and limbs, just like attacking a live beast. However, the hips and shoulders are highly defensive parts and are usually ignored.
The strongman obeyed the order, dodged the attack twice, and found the right opportunity to strike back with two heavy hammers, which really smashed the back half of the pillar beast into seven or eight pieces.
The stones on the ground rolled over and fit together on their own, and soon they would be restored.
Qingyang's gaze lingered among the rubble, and suddenly he raised his wooden stick and knocked on one of the stones.
Click.
Her movements were not large, and they did not seem to have much killing power, but the rock was broken into two pieces. Then, Qingyang leaned over and picked up a round, white ball the size of an olive from the rock.
As soon as this thing was taken out, the pillar beast immediately stopped moving, and even the rubble on the ground stopped reorganizing.
Sure enough, this thing is the core of the pillar beast. It receives the command from the Yao King and attacks the enemy identified by the Yao King.
Qingyang pinched the small white bead and found it was quite elastic. When he held it up to the light, he could see a faint black dot in the middle of the bead.
This black spot can actually move.
It's a living thing.
Looks like... eggs? Qingyang frowned. What kind of creature's eggs would look like this?
At this moment, torches were blazing not far away, and another group of people arrived -
Tu Han and Shan Zezhong arrived and joined the battlefield shouting.
They were blocked outside the south gate by Bai Tan and had to make a detour and enter from the west gate. They were the ones who rang the bell on the city wall just now.
The Yao Palace is not small, they were delayed on the way and the rescue was late.
The refugees in Tianshui City rioted, and the government was short of manpower. King Yao sent out palace guards to support them, leaving only a thousand people in the palace. This arrangement was fine at ordinary times, but Qingyang and Bai Tan suddenly rebelled tonight. The thousand people in the palace were arranged by Bai Hengbo, and more than 400 of them followed them to rebel. The rest wanted to come to rescue the emperor, but because they were not large enough, they were repelled several times.
It was not until Tu Han and his companions received a secret order from King Yao that they led their troops into the palace, picking up the scattered palace guards along the way, and finally rushed to the Frost Fairy Palace.
With this calculation, the number of people on both sides became closer, and the royalist faction was no longer supported by Zhao Song and the imperial guards.
King Yao was overjoyed, and then he saw that the formation of the Baitan army outside the Frost Fairy Palace was disrupted by the stone beasts, so he once again shouted in a stern voice: "Drop your weapons, kneel down and hold your heads, and I will spare your lives!"
Seeing a large number of enemy reinforcements suddenly arriving and the stone beasts in the Frost Fairy Palace killing people crazily again, many of Bai Tan's Tianshui City patrol soldiers were shaken. They had originally mustered up the courage to kill the king and rebel, but now that the enemy was stronger, they became discouraged, so they withdrew from the battlefield and knelt down secretly.
Sure enough, after they dropped their weapons and knelt, the stone beasts rushed past them without even looking at them.
In just a few dozen breaths, more than a hundred people knelt outside the courtyard. Bai Tan was furious and rushed over to chop off several heads: "Stand up. This old man is untrustworthy. If I die, you will also be tortured to death!"
At the same time, he glanced at Qingyang again, feeling anxious in his heart, wondering why this regent didn't make any effort yet?
At this moment, the only ones still fighting stubbornly were his trusted troops and the temple soldiers lent to him by the temple.
These temple soldiers were not supposed to have Yuanli, but Bai Tan secretly registered them as city patrol soldiers a few days ago. At that time, he was the Minister of Justice, and the Tianshui City Patrol was under the jurisdiction of his subordinates, so the order was valid.
Facts proved the brilliance of this move, as in the end only these temple soldiers were the most determined.
Seeing the situation reversed, King Yao finally felt relieved. He pointed at Bai Tan and sneered, "Your family has been given high positions and generous salaries, and you enjoy endless wealth, but you are still not satisfied and want to rebel with this old hag? How can there be such a traitorous and heartless person like you in this world!"
Upon learning that Bai Tan was Qingyang's partner in the rebellion, King Yao was puzzled. Yao State had been very kind to the Bai family over the past two hundred years, so what was this guy trying to achieve by plotting rebellion?
Bai Tan swung his sword to fend off a pillar-sticking beast and said sternly, "Yao State is in power with traitors, corruption is rampant, and the country is in decline. It would have been fine if you had turned a blind eye to this, but you are actually demanding bribes from the people and digging into the national warehouse to fill your own treasury, harming the public and enriching yourself!"
He chuckled, "People are complaining, but you are blind and ignorant, thinking that the present is still a peaceful and prosperous time. You don't know that Yao Country is in decline, and now it can't even suppress the ragtag allied forces! People like you who are ambitious, greedy, and incompetent will bring disaster to Yao Country as long as you are in power! I will bring you down to benefit the people of Yao Country!"
"You want to rebel and become king, yet you still use morality as an excuse?" King Yao spat on the ground and said sinisterly, "Kill him and make him watch himself being torn apart!"
He pointed, and nearly half of the stone beasts attacked Baitan, more than those besieging Qingyang.
Traitors are always the most hated.
Although Qingyang found the flaws of the stone beasts, not everyone could smash their hard bodies and find the white eggs in the stone under the dim light. Therefore, Bai Tan's elite troops were caught in a dilemma under the siege of the stone beasts, which was extremely difficult.
All their previous training was for killing living things, not for dealing with this kind of immortal monster.
Qingyang finally raised his staff: "I'll lend you a hand."
She blew at the wooden staff, and the leaves on the staff were blown up and pressed towards the stone beasts as if guided.
