Although the three-eyed stone ape was repelled again, this victory could not cover up the tragic casualties of the team that broke into the mountain.
Everyone quickly fell silent.
Hundreds of purple mansions plus more high-level Qi practitioners, and ten ferrymen with profound cultivation and rich experience led the team. When they first entered the Jade Dragon Mountains, many monks were full of confidence.
With such a powerful team and the existence of the Jade Dragon Oath, why worry about not being able to break through this natural chasm?
The trip over the past few days went as smoothly as they imagined.
Ordinary monsters would not dare to be provoked.
However, everyone's confidence was completely shattered today.
The unknown monster's attack cost the team that broke into the mountain thirty-nine people dead and hundreds more wounded!
More than half of the casualties!
Among the dead in the war were three ferrymen from the Zi Mansion, and three others suffered injuries of varying severity.
No amount of killing three-eyed stone apes can make up for such a loss!
The morale in the team was extremely low.
Some injured monks stared at the ferryman leading the team with resentful eyes, making the atmosphere tense again.
"I'm sorry, we don't want such an accident to happen."
The ferryman leading the team, whose surname is Xu, is a high-level cultivator in Zifu. He said expressionlessly: "For the rest of the trip, it is up to you to decide whether to continue walking or return the same way."
In fact, the monk surnamed Xu was far from as calm as he appeared on the surface.
His heart was bleeding too.
The monk surnamed Xu has led the team back and forth on this road many times, and it has always been safe and without incident.
But the dangers in Yulong Mountain are not predictable.
Just like the terrifyingly powerful demon before, who would have thought that we would bump into such a being?
The losses suffered by the Mountain Crossing Club were also heavy!
But the monk named Xu has a clear conscience.
Because before entering the mountain, he had made the risks clear to everyone.
If you encounter it, you can only consider yourself unlucky!
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.
A monk gritted his teeth and asked: "Master Xu, if we continue walking, will we encounter such a big monster again?"
"I can not guarantee."
The monk surnamed Xu said calmly: "The Jade Dragon Oath can restrain the great demon and the demon king, but it cannot guarantee that we will not be attacked by high-level demons."
The big demon and the demon king don't talk about benevolence, justice and morality. Although the Jade Dragon Oath has a strong binding effect, as long as they are shameless enough, they can always find reasons to bypass it.
Such as accidental injury and accidental hit.
It is impossible for the Nascent Soul True Immortals of the four major sects to go to the demon kings for such a "trivial matter".
So I can only consider myself unlucky!
Everyone actually understood this truth, but they were unwilling to do so and fell into silence again.
The monk surnamed Xu sighed and continued: "Let's rest for three days. Three days should be enough for you to make a decision. I have no objection whether you continue to move forward or return the same way."
There are many injured monks, and it is not a wise choice to continue on the journey or return now.
No one disputed this.
Although the people's hearts in the team inevitably collapsed, in the face of the cruel reality, everyone could still maintain a superficial unity.
Clean the battlefield to save the dead souls, reorganize the team, and then find a place to camp and rest.
Night falls once again on the Yulong Mountains.
Darkness enveloped the land silently, flooding the temporary camp in the valley.
Wang Chen hung the obsidian lamp on the tent.
It was already past meal time, but he didn't have the slightest appetite, and I believe the other monks were the same.
Although they just met by chance, they gathered together for the same purpose, and there was no friendship between them.
Maybe it's the rabbit's death and the fox's sorrow.
Seeing so many dead and injured monks of the same level, Wang Chen's mind could not help but be severely impacted.
Underneath the golden elixir are all ants!
This encounter during the day made him deeply understand the true meaning of this sentence.
Wang Chen took out a jar of spiritual wine from his storage bag and drank it slowly.
Suddenly his tent moved, and a graceful figure flashed in.
Wang Chen was stunned for a moment.
This uninvited guest is naturally Li Yian, and only she would break into Wang Chen's tent directly like this.
The problem is that tonight Li Yian actually changed into a plain white dress!
As the saying goes, if you want to be pretty, be filial.
This female cultivator originally had a stunning appearance. Now she has changed out of men's clothing and put on a white dress. Her entire figure, temperament and even appearance have improved by a whole level!
She sat down next to Wang Chen, with bright eyes: "Fellow Taoist Wang, it's not good to drink alone."
Although the battle during the day was brutal, Li Yian only suffered minor injuries and his face was slightly pale.
Wang Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
What he drank was not boring wine.
It's just that humans are not grass and trees, so no one can be ruthless. Even the Immortal Nascent Soul cannot cut off love and nature.
His heart was touched and the road ahead was uncertain, which made Wang Chen wonder whether his original choice was correct.
Even if he goes through all kinds of hardships and risks his life through the Yulong Mountains, will he definitely be able to find the master Chang Chun mentioned in the West Sea Spiritual Domain and embark on the road to heaven?
Wang Chen has no confidence at all!
The catastrophe of heaven and earth does not mean the extinction of all living beings. There is a great possibility of surviving the catastrophe if you stay in the world of mountains and seas.
Maybe staying in Wanxiu City was the best choice.
"I'll drink with you."
Li Yian reached for the wine jar and took a few sips.
He handed it back to Wang Chen.
Wang Chen took it and drank heavily like her.
Just like this, one sip and one sip, the two of them drank the whole jar of spiritual wine.
"Come!"
Li Yian took out a jar of Baihua Brew from his storage bag: "We'll stay drunk tonight!"
Wang Chen did not refuse.
The jar of Baihua Brewing that Li Yian took out was obviously more mellow in taste than the previous one. It was unknown how many years it had been stored in the cellar.
The stamina is much stronger.
Wang Chen felt something in his heart, so he didn't deliberately suppress the alcohol, and he became a little drunk without knowing it.
Suddenly, a faint and dark fragrance filled my heart and spleen.
A ball of warm fragrant nephrite leaned into his arms.
Before Wang Chen could react, Li Yian raised his head and pressed his red lips, Lilac secretly drank the wine.
This wine is as sweet as honey, ecstasy!
Wang Chen was a little drunk again.
He only heard the beauty in his arms smile softly, and breathed softly into his ear: "Do you know my heart?"
Wang Chen doesn't know.
Wondering.
In a daze, a chant came to his ears.
"This is the secret method of the harmony between pure yin and true nature taught by our sect. Only pure yang and pure yin bodies can practice it."
As he spoke, Li Yian shook his hands and punched out four talismans, which he pasted on the four corners of the tent.
These talismans emit a faint light, blocking out sounds and breaths from inside and outside!
The next moment, Wang Chen was pushed down on the carpet.
There was only one thought in his mind.
I was actually pushed back!——
Here is the first update, I wish you all a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, family reunion, happiness and good health!
