Long, long ago, when the rabbits first arrived at the Damo Realm to participate in the first beast siege battle, they witnessed the power of the city defense formation and developed a strong interest in defensive arrays.
After all, external shields have always been a highly debatable topic, a staple in sci-fi movies where you wouldn't even think of meeting aliens without carrying one or two of these.
Currently, there is a certain degree of attention and some research achievements on this subject in our homeland — although the latter achievements are quite superficial.
One relatively mature research direction is achieving the effect of an external shield through the attenuation of electromagnetic arc shockwaves.
This is a patent applied by Boeing — at that time, the news even sparked a wave of thinking whether 'if my voice is louder than the bomb, can it offset the bomb's shockwave'.
There is also the fusion reactor's tokamak that uses magnetic fields to confine the fusion reaction to a certain area, without needing a solid outer shell.
In terms of cosmic fields, Earth's magnetic field resisting the solar wind has a similar concept.
However, no matter which of the above examples, there is still a certain distance from the energy shields in our traditional science fiction that can block kinetic weapons.
But the situation in the Damo Realm is different.
Their talismans or arrays form shields that can block both kinetic and energy weapons!
Faced with such objects surpassing existing cognition, yet not totally unreachable in principle, the physics research team led by Zeng Gu Cheng began studying the city defense formation almost the day they moved into Chixian City.
Later, when Hua Jun's team deciphered the Tier One Body Protection Talisman, the research group similarly conducted a systematic analysis of spiritual energy shields.
Don't think this is unrealistic.
Whether it's the arrays or shields in the Damo Realm, their essence relies on spiritual energy — no doubt about that, but their manifestation is definitely a kind of material — just like the sand and smoke mouths formed by the beast at Xiaolianzi Mountain, they need 'sand' as a carrier.
Even if the shields' structures are eventually broken down as crystalline forms composed of solid spiritual energy or purely some kind of particle waves, those are still in the category of manifesting material.
Because under the existing Planck system, it is impossible to allow Damo Realm to have memes independent of manifesting material, this is the basic rule of the universe's operation, and in fantasy novel terms, it's called the "Heavenly Dao's will".
Thus, Zeng Gu Cheng and his team, upholding this concept, conducted long-term research on array shields and eventually found a core element:
Tritium!
Tritium, also known as super-heavy hydrogen.
It is one of the isotopes of hydrogen; its nucleus consists of one proton and two neutrons, and it is radioactive, undergoing β decay.
In nature, tritium is formed when high-energy neutrons in cosmic rays bombard deuterium nuclei, causing the deuterium to combine with a neutron to form tritium.
Industrially, neutrons from reactors are used, employing lithium-6 compounds as targets to produce tritium.
According to Zeng Gu Cheng's team's research, most low-tier spiritual energy shields in the Damo Realm contain tritium, but strangely, these spiritual energy shields are not radioactive.
The precise reasons behind this are still being researched by the physics team; after all, progress needs to be made step by step.
In short, after determining the presence of tritium in the shields, a brand new hypothesis emerged:
If liquid nitrogen is used for instant freezing on the shield, is it possible to disrupt its molecular structure, rendering it ineffective?
This is a hypothesis completely in line with chemical theory, and the final experimental result naturally proved to be...
Possible!
Based on the above experimental results.
The rabbits specially equipped the Wuzhi-10s with large amounts of liquid nitrogen pods, scattering them at low altitude over Sheepback City's city defense formations.
This resulted in the instantaneous evaporation of the city defense formations— according to Zeng Gu Cheng's team's experimental results, such a destructive effect of liquid nitrogen would consume a large amount of the array's core spiritual energy, while principles of instability would suppress subsequent formation generation, making it difficult for city defense formations to recover quickly in a short period.
Returning to the battlefield scene.
The fragmented city defense array vaporized instantly, leaving no impact on the people on the walls.
However, Mo Daolin felt those fragments cutting across his face and heart like knives.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that the exclamations from the walls pulled his attention back to reality.
The walls were already in chaos, with panicked defenders and even cultivators fleeing everywhere.
Even a fool could imagine what would happen after the city defense array was breached.
Meanwhile, the three Wuzhi-10s also began their attack.
Considering the numerous innocent mortal soldiers among the city's defenders.
The Wuzhi-10s did not directly fire onboard missiles, but instead used machine guns to target obviously cultivator targets with focused shots, regardless of life or death.
According to the Mo Clan's family regulations, after reaching the Fourth-Layer Qi Cultivation, all cultivation resources must be exchanged through family contribution points, and recruiting one refugee to the iron mine could only exchange for one point.
Therefore, any Mo Clan member who qualified to come to the wall, from iron mining to now, indirectly bore at least dozens of refugees' lives on their hands.
Hence the Wuzhi-10 pilot had no scruples in attacking, this was justice descending.
"Ah——!!"
A scream sounded in his ears, and Mo Daolin instinctively looked in the direction.
Not far from him, a Mo Clan cultivator of the Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer holding a bow lay in pain on the ground, with a conspicuous wound at his abdomen's inner sea.
Meanwhile, small objects kept falling from the sky, either momentarily blinding or causing tears to flow uncontrollably upon exploding.
Gulp——
Mo Daolin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, suddenly thinking of something:
"That's right, the main residence, the main residence has several killing arrays!"
The main residence of the Mo Family has been passed down for over two hundred years, and besides defensive arrays, it also contains multiple attack and kill arrays, and even some secret tunnels leading outside the city!
If they could escape back to the main residence, there might still be a chance of survival.
At this point, Mo Daolin also understood that the opponents were clearly well-prepared.
With the city's defense formation broken, even if there was only one Foundation Establishment cultivator among the attackers, that would be enough to crush any cultivator currently in Sheepback City one-on-one.
It cannot be said that Mo Lisen and the others were too careless, without leaving strong enough forces or related preparation plans within the city.
After all, from Mo Lisen's perspective, this was a secure situation that couldn't be more secure.
The city defense formation handed down from Sheepback City's ancestors could withstand an attack from the Third-Layer Core Formation Realm for several hours. Within a thousand-mile radius, there were at most five cities capable of breaking the formation, all of which were beyond three hundred miles from Sheepback City.
In this situation, whether those left behind were at the Foundation Establishment Realm or Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer made no difference. It was better to deploy such combat power to the frontline battlefield.
But who would have thought that not only was Mo Lisen's side tricked, but also that Sheepback City's defense formation capable of resisting Core Formation Realm was inexplicably broken?
After all, in the Damo Realm, there was no precedent of using liquid nitrogen to break shields; some ice magic at most could only reach minus fifty or sixty degrees Celsius.
Regardless of how events transpired from the start to the finish, at least now Sheepback City was certainly indefensible—yet similarly, in Mo Daolin's view, the people from Chixian City could not hold Sheepback City either.
No matter what kind of powerful reinforcements the Wei Mansion pulled in on the Chixian City side, their only sending one Foundation Establishment cultivator to Sheepback City was enough to show that their high-level combat power was limited.
Therefore, there's a high probability that Mo Lisen and the six Foundation Establishment cultivators were merely restrained, perhaps one or two may fall, but there's absolutely no way they would all be wiped out. Once they return, they will certainly organize a counterattack.
Thus, as long as Mo Daolin can hide until Mo Lisen returns, given his status as an elder of the clan, even if he were to be punished, it would definitely be limited.
At most, he might be sent to watch over a mine for a few years, but under no circumstances would he be executed.
Thinking of this, Mo Daolin immediately turned around, preparing to escape towards the main residence.
However, after only a few steps, a figure jumped down from above, landing in front of him with a wide stance.
"Old man, where are you going?"
As the current clan leader of the Wei Mansion, Wei Fan naturally recognized this elder of the Mo Family, after all, Chixian City and Sheepback City were merely a hundred miles apart, considered close neighbors in a standard sense.
Thus, the high-ranking members of both sides would somewhat know about each other's Foundation Establishment cultivators, clan leaders, and elders.
Looking at Wei Fan blocking the way, Mo Daolin didn't speak. Instead, he raised his fist cautiously, his entire body exuding an overwhelming aura.
He was a master of the Mo Family's secret technique, Thunderbolt Fist, and his realm was also at the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer, so he didn't fear Wei Fan.
Once his aura was fully mobilized, he charged fiercely at Wei Fan!
Just as Wei Fan recognized him, he also knew Wei Fan's identity, aware that this current clan leader of the Wei Mansion had a giant cauldron.
It was an extremely powerful magical artifact that, once unleashed on the current battlefield, would make it difficult for him to escape back to the main residence.
Thus, only through close combat could he maximize the restriction of the giant cauldron's capabilities.
When paths cross... the brave wins!
However, as Mo Daolin charged forward, he suddenly realized that Wei Fan showed no sign of summoning a magical artifact but was instead lifting a black, thick tube.
Seeing this, Mo Daolin's lips curled into a slight sneer:
"A hidden weapon? Or a crossbow? Haven't you heard that within seven steps, fists..."
Yet before he could finish his thought, Wei Fan made his move.
Bang bang bang——
A string of specially crafted bullets, containing a tiny amount of demon beast crystals, flew out, instantly piercing through Mo Daolin's external defenses, turning his internal sea into a sieve in less than half a second.
Afterwards, Wei Fan walked up to him, shaking his head:
"These bullets were exchanged for the merits of the battle at Xiaolianzi Mountain, old-timer. The times have changed."
He was just about to capture Mo Daolin when he suddenly remembered Mo Lisen's recent act of refining his own eyes into a magical artifact for a sneak attack.
"You old thing, you won't have any tricks up your sleeve too, will you?"
Wei Fan glanced around at the battlefield on the city wall, now gradually concluding, pondered for a few seconds, and then delivered a hand chop.
Physical hypnosis, JPG.
Meanwhile, in the Fire Camp.
Hua Xiaomo, bouncing around in front of Mr. Yuan, suddenly had a start, inexplicably covering the back of her neck, as if recalling some unpleasant memory...
