Chapter 71 Thunder
The next day, after Lin Changqing completed his training, he saw that there was still some time before he had to change guard on the city wall, so he summoned Babai and began to communicate with it.

Lin Changqing could clearly feel that Babai had made a lot of progress and now had the intelligence of an eight or nine-year-old child. The two of them could communicate very smoothly.

But now, Babai is becoming more and more dependent on and close to Lin Changqing. He has learned to act like a spoiled child, a bit like the tone of children hoping to be praised by their parents.

Lin Changqing was really puzzled. He had never taught this to anyone. Could it be that the ability to act like a spoiled child was something that could be innate?
And now we still don’t know how to help Babai improve his strength, or how to help Babai advance from a spiritual weapon to a magic weapon.

This may require asking a second-level or even third-level weapon refiner, but there is no rush now. This matter can be dealt with after Lin Changqing has established his foundation!

Lin Changqing is just enough to use the current strength of Eight Hundred. If he increases his strength further, he won't be able to use it!
Seeing that it was almost time, he went out to meet up with his father and second uncle, and walked towards the defense area that the family was responsible for. He soon arrived at the location and replaced the previous group of clan members on duty.

Lin Changqing and his team began the task of defending the city for a day and a night. It was a bit novel at the beginning, but it became boring after a while.

But they did not dare to neglect their duties, after all, the safety of so many people was at stake, so the three of them discussed and decided that each of them would watch for two hours, and the other two would rest, so that they would not be too tired.

This is a good idea. Having so many people stationed on the city wall is actually because they are afraid of being attacked by monsters. If the guarding force on the city wall is not enough, it will be easy for a surprise attack to succeed.

Just like this, about ten days passed. Lin Changqing happened to be resting today and was working hard in his residence to open the fifth thunder acupoint.

Suddenly, a female voice sounded above the fortress, "A large group of beasts is thirty miles away, rushing towards the Red Maple Fortress. Everyone return to the defense area you are responsible for immediately."

Lin Changqing had to stop, then packed up a little, and immediately went out to meet up with his father and second uncle. The three of them joined forces to rush towards the defense area because there were too many people on the street, and they were all running towards the areas they were responsible for.

After reporting to the clan leader, the three of them immediately returned to their original positions and began preparations for the battle, such as pasting defensive talismans, preparing offensive and defensive magic tools, placing elixir talismans in convenient locations, etc.

Lin Changqing also released the Amethyst Scorpions in advance, and placed them in stealth around the three people. If any monsters dared to approach, they would definitely be given a big surprise.

Everyone looked quietly outside the city wall. Everything was ready, just waiting for the monster to come.

However, the wait is always long, and the atmosphere around is a bit depressing. It feels like we have been waiting for a very long time. Finally, a large wave of beasts like a tide rushed towards the fortress. This time, there are many more monsters than last time.

They came in an overwhelming manner, rushing directly towards the transparent shield, then adhering to it and starting to attack the defensive formation. The monks defending inside then released spells, magic weapons, attack talismans, etc. all at once; they could hit the target with their eyes closed.

The battle between the two sides became intense as soon as they came into contact. Lin Changqing's fireballs always hit the weaker defensive parts of the first-stage late-stage monsters, such as the abdomen or waist, in an effort to kill these monsters as effectively as possible.

My father and second uncle did the same thing. Perhaps to reduce the pressure on the defensive formation, small holes began to appear on the shield, letting in a small number of monsters.

The real test began. Monsters kept climbing up the city walls, forcing the defending monks to divide their energy to deal with them.

The tribesmen have also begun to organize themselves in groups of three or four to support and cover each other, which can greatly reduce casualties.

Of course, there were also three of them here, but any monster that dared to come over would scream miserably as soon as it approached, twitching violently and falling to the ground, and then one of the three would pierce his brain with a flying sword and die. Lin Changqing also discovered that because of the purple crystal scorpions, his side had too much defense, and there was no need to arrange the purple crystal scorpions so densely.

They began to intentionally disperse the amethyst scorpions. The 124 amethyst scorpions were steadily distributed within a range of more than meters, trying to protect more tribesmen, such as Uncle Ben and Uncle Feng, who were relatively close to the three of them.

Of course, there were still 24 left with the three of them. Lin Changqing had a clear distinction between the primary and the secondary. Only when a few of them were safe could he better protect the tribe.

The high-intensity battle has been going on. Lin Changqing has started taking recovery pills. He dare not let the spiritual energy reserves in his body be too low. When it drops to about 50%, Lin Changqing starts taking recovery pills.

Anyway, we have prepared enough in advance. As long as people are safe, other personal belongings are secondary.

Lin Changqing felt that he had killed at least fifty or sixty monsters, and the beast tide outside did not seem to be decreasing. It seemed that he didn't know how many monsters were outside, so he could only muster up his strength and hold on.

Now Lin Changqing is a little worried about his grandfather. After all, the number of beasts this time is several times that of the last time. Theoretically, the number of second-level monsters will also increase. He doesn't know if the three foundation-building cultivators in the family can withstand it, especially his grandfather and fourteenth uncle!
Lin Changqing began to pay some attention and consciously searched for their figures to see if he could help when necessary. After all, he still had the powerful trump card of Eight Hundred in his hand, so he was confident that he could severely damage the second-level monster with one blow.

The Qi Refining cultivators and first-level monsters automatically avoid the combat range of the Foundation Establishment cultivators for fear of being affected, so it is easy to find them.

I happened to see the clan leader fighting against two second-level monsters alone, one was a wolf-like creature, and the other was a monster that looked like a pangolin that had been magnified several times.

They are all in the middle stage of the second stage, and it seems that they can maintain a balance between offense and defense. There shouldn't be any problems in the short term. It seems that there is no need to worry about the clan leader for the time being.

On the other side, Grandpa, Fourteenth Uncle and the Bloodthirsty Thorn Vine were dealing with three second-level monsters, one of which was the Wind Wolf King, who had the cultivation level of a mid-second level.

A monster that looks like a giant rat. It's hard to tell what species it is, but it's at the early second stage of cultivation.

The other one is a fox-like monster with the cultivation level of the middle stage of the second stage. It is mainly dealt with by Uncle Fourteen, but now his arm has been scratched and the situation looks a bit bad.

Fortunately, Grandpa and the bloodthirsty thorn vines are there to support each other, otherwise Uncle Fourteen would be in danger. We can’t wait any longer!
Lin Changqing told his father and second uncle to take care of themselves, stuffed a recovery pill into his mouth, then took out the Thunder Horn and began to input spiritual energy into it. Babai also tried his best to mobilize the Thunder Horn to form the Gengjin Divine Thunder.

After inputting about nine levels of spiritual energy, the Gengjin Divine Thunder finally took shape. It immediately locked onto the fox demon and was fired without hesitation.

After a short flight, with a loud "boom", the Gengjin Divine Thunder hit the fox demon's head, causing it to let out a shrill scream, and then it fell to the ground, covered in blood and motionless.

Fourteenth Uncle was also startled, but he reacted immediately and quickly controlled his magic sword to pierce through the fox demon's head through the eyes, completing the strike to prevent the fox demon from recovering later.

He glanced at Lin Changqing, then hurried over to help Uncle Jiu Lin Fandao share the pressure and take over to deal with the rat monster. This way, Uncle Jiu's pressure was much less.
