Lin An didn’t want him to pay too much attention to the people outside, so he simply locked the attic and didn’t let him approach the windows.
“I said, leave them alone.”
Lin An’s expression was very bad. Seeing that Xi Ning was silent after he spoke, he softened a little, “As long as they don’t get close to the magic tower, they won’t be attacked unless they dig their own grave.”
The people outside disturbed the black mist, and it began to call Lin An again and again. Lin An didn’t want to go to the basement, and his mood became more and more unstable while fighting against its calling.
Xi Ning was also afraid that the tower would not be able to withstand many attacks, so he asked worriedly, “There are so many of them, if they attack……”
“Don’t be afraid, it won’t happen.”
Lin An repeated it again in a low voice, as if talking to himself, “No, it would be fine if…… I killed them.”
Xi Ning didn’t hear clearly what he said in the last sentence, Lin An added a layer of barrier to isolate outside noises, and took Xi Ning downstairs to cook him food like usual.
When Xi Ning took a nap after eating, Lin An went to the basement alone.
The state of the black mist was insane, and it kept muttering angrily, “Let me out, kill all these intruders……”
“Even without you, I can still deal with these people.” Lin An was quite calm, and remained indifferent looking at the lock on the cage.
“Are you sure?” The black mist laughed strangely, “But what if? There are quite a few of them, right? If the tower was breached, it’s okay if they killed you. But what about the person you hid?”
Sensing that Lin An’s mood had changed, the black mist became even more excited, “They came here to take away everything from you, including this tower, and your people. If he falls into the hands of others, a quick death is an extravagant wish , he may be tortured, hang upside down on a tree and slowly bleed to death…..”
The cage scraped the ground with a harsh sound, Lin An reached into the cage and pinched the black mist tightly, “Shut up.”
The black mist immediately gave up, trembling in Lin An’s hands, but when he was not paying attention, a wisp of mist quietly slipped out along Lin An’s arm and penetrated into his body.
Lin An felt a pricking pain on his right cheek. He withdrew his hand and touched his face. The pain disappeared quickly, and the blue meridians on his face seemed to be thinner.
The black mist stopped talking, Lin An closed his eyes, calmed down the chaotic thoughts in his mind, turned and left the basement.
When he returned to the bedroom, Xi Ning was still asleep soundly, and the movement outside the tower fell silent at this moment. It was unsure that those people gave up and left, or they just stopped temporarily to find other ways.
Lin An stood by the window and watched for a while, then quickly closed the window tightly.
When the sky darkened, Qiu Nian ordered his men to take action.
The canons on the magic tower are dense, and it will be activated according to the number of people detected. When it stops still, the protective barrier outside the tower will cover the entire tower. It is simply impossible to attack the canons from outside.
Qiu Nian thought of another way. He let a mercenary walk out of the woods, and he took a gun and stood on the edge of the woods. When the cannon is activated, he will fire an arrow with spiritual power to the cannon muzzle.
If more than one person steps inside the range, it will affect the direction of the cannons, and only such a lightweight gun can have a longer range. Qiu Nian has tried weapons with stronger firepower before, but they can’t get close to the cannons.
The mercenary couldn’t resist the magic tower’s attack, he fell to the ground while vomiting blood and passed out. A companion quickly pulled him back. At the same time, he shot accurately at one of the cannons. There was smoke coming from the cannon muzzle.
Qiu Nian excitedly said, “I did it!”
As long as he destroys the cannons on this side, he will have a chance to get close to the magic tower. He waved his hand to signal the next mercenary to come out.
The head of the mercenary group was tied to a tree trunk beside him, with a poisoned dagger pointed at his neck. Qiu Nian’s people cast a spell on him so that he could not move or speak. He could only use his eyes to signal his subordinates to leave him alone.
The mercenary appointed by Qiu Nian looked at the head of the mercenary group, gritted his teeth and walked out holding the shield.
This time Qiu Nian missed the shot. Fortunately, the mercenary came back quickly and was not seriously injured.
Qiu Nian gave a “tsk” regretfully, then turned his head and said softly, “Go, try again.”
Using this method, he successively destroyed a small half of the cannons on the right side of the magic tower, and most of the mercenary group members were either getting killed and wounded. The head of the mercenary group wanted to resist forcefully, but was knocked unconscious by Qiu Nian’s men.
Xi Ning was still sleeping soundly in the tower. Lin An that was beside him opened his eyes in the dark and sat up.
