With Ziyang Mountain as the center, those counties are spread over an area of 3,000 miles with a population of more than 2 million. Among these 2 million, more than 1 million people belong to the Lu clan.
After thousands of years of reproduction, the descendants of the Lu family have grown to millions. It is also due to the chaos of monsters and beasts, the chaos of evil cultivators, or other natural disasters and man-made disasters that have led to greater population losses. Otherwise, the number of people with the Lu family name would have been even greater.
many.
As for the remaining one million people, they mainly have foreign surnames and rely on the protection of the Lu family to survive in the world.
It is more difficult for mortals to survive. Without the protection of monks, they may become the blood food of monsters or become the blood sacrifice instruments of demon cultivators.
Those villages and towns without the protection of monks could not exist for more than ten days before they perished.
In towns, there must be Qi practicing monks stationed there;
In the county town, there must be monks in the late stages of Qi training.
In the land of a county, there must be monks from the Zifu stationed there.
Without the existence of powerful monks, there is no way to protect those mortals.
The monks are also willing to protect those mortals. This does not mean that the monks are kind-hearted, but that mortals are the foundation of the monks. The more mortals there are, the more monks will be born.
…
On top of the airship, an airship was flying rapidly, reaching a speed of 100 meters per second. At an altitude of 300 meters, it quickly headed towards a nearby village.
The village is located among the mountains, in a small valley.
The village is built on a small uphill slope.
In the river valley, there are fields one after another, with crops growing lushly green, and some farmers walking among them, clearing weeds with hoes.
At the entrance of the village, there was a group of children playing.
The mountain village looks quiet and peaceful.
When we arrived at this village, the flying boat stopped.
When the flying boat arrived, the entire village was shocked.
Lu Xuanji walked into the village, found the village chief, and greeted the villagers.
But in less than an hour, more than 500 villagers boarded the flying boat. Some people were reluctant to leave their homes.
But under the order of the "immortal chief", the only option was to board the flying boat.
The flying boat moved forward, and about three hours later, it arrived at the foot of Ziyang Mountain, and the villagers came down one after another.
A monk from the Lu family came forward and began to guide and make arrangements.
Driving the flying boat, Lu Xuanji left again.
Go to a certain village and pick up the people.
In just one day, I went back and forth five or six times and transported about 3,000 people.
Back and forth, countless flying boats landed near Ziyang Mountain, transporting ordinary people. Time and time again, many ordinary people gradually gathered near Ziyang Mountain, and the population increased. The Lu family monks were there to guide and maintain them.
With order, there was no big chaos.
Woohoo!
As the flying boat advanced, Lu Xuanji stopped in front of another village and began to greet the people. More people boarded the flying boat.
The flying boat set off and headed towards Lu's house.
The flying boat underfoot is extremely crude.
A regular flying boat has defensive formations, offensive formations, super speed, and terrifying defense power. It can be said to be a weapon of war.
But at this time, the flying boat used by Lu Xuanji to transport the people was an extremely simple flying boat.
Such a flying boat has weak defense and can be split open with a flying sword, making it a living target in the air. Its flying speed is also slow, only a hundred meters per second. Foundation-building monks can fly faster than this with their swords. As for various attack weapons,
, and almost none. For monks, it is almost useless.
But such flying boats are cheap, one costs only ten spirit stones, and they can transport a large number of civilians.
It was busy like this, and in about a month, the task of transporting people was completed.
There are about 2.5 million people, gathered in an area of less than ten square kilometers near Ziyang Mountain. Too many people seem crowded, but under the arrangements of the Lu family monks, they are distributed in an orderly manner.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, looking at the dense crowd of people, Lu Xuanji's heart was tingling.
…………
Lu family, conference hall.
Twenty-three foundation-building monks were each sitting on chairs, with Lu Fuming sitting in the center.
The ancestor of the Zi Mansion said: "The Danyang Sect has issued a summons, and the beast tide is about to attack. Passive defense will only fail everywhere. It is best to take the initiative and intercept the high-level monsters at Tieling Pass. According to the old rules, the family
We need to send half of the monks, that is, the twelve foundation-building monks, and I will go to the front line!"
"As for who to send, it will be decided by drawing lots. Life and death are determined by destiny, and wealth is in heaven!"
The ancestor of Zifu said, took out a cylinder and put twenty-three lots in it.
"Everyone, please check the tube."
All the monks came forward to check and after confirming that there was nothing fishy, some people started to draw lots one after another. Some people got it, and some people didn't.
"Go down and get ready!"
The ancestor of Zifu said.
"Half a day to prepare and set off for Tieling Pass!"
All the monks agreed in unison.
…
But soon, a flying boat appeared in the void.
The flying boat is ten meters long and three meters wide. It doesn't seem to be big overall, but the whole thing is made of black iron and exudes a dark light. Mysterious formations are carved on it, and a layer of faint light emerges.
Outside the flying boat, there are three rune cannons on board.
This is the third-grade flying boat "Jiaolong".
The Jiaolong is a third-grade flying boat that can activate defensive formations and turn into a rune mask to resist attacks from the peak of the Zifu. There are three rune cannons on the boat, and the attacks launched are comparable to the early stages of the Golden Core. It is the fastest.
The moment is comparable to the escape technique in the early stage of Jindan.
On the flying boat, stood Lu Fuming, the ancestor of the Zi family, and twelve foundation-building monks of the Lu family.
brush!
The flying boat flashed, flew out of Ziyang Mountain, and disappeared into the distance.
"Mother, where did ancestor go?"
Lu Xuanji asked.
"A century-old beast tide is coming. Just passive defense and relying on the mountain protection formation of Ziyang Mountain is not enough. If you defend it for a long time, you will lose. Only by taking the initiative can Ziyang Mountain relieve some of the pressure... The Danyang Faction is recruiting major families.
Monks, go to the defense line to resist some big monsters!"
Ye Xinlan said, looking a little worried.
Every time the beast tide strikes, some Zifu monks will fall, and there may even be some Golden Core monks who will fall.
…
Boom, boom, boom!
There was a violent noise, and with the noise, monsters appeared on the distant horizon. There were cat monsters, pig monsters, rat monsters, sheep monsters, wolf monsters, etc., in groups.
.Coming in densely, as if the tide is coming, submerging everything.
The demonic beasts that make up the beast tide are mainly low-level bloodline, mainly first-level demonic beasts. Many have just been born with shallow spiritual intelligence, and are in a state of confusion, but they are the most ferocious.
Looking at this scene, Lu Xuanji felt his scalp numb.
A single monster is very weak.
A monk with a level of Qi training can kill with one sword.
But densely packed, millions, tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, billions of people gather together to form a beast tide that is enough to drown everything.
Not to mention the foundation-building monks, even the Zifu monks will be submerged.
If there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant.
Moreover, among the beast tide, there are still some second-level monsters and third-level monsters hidden, ready to sneak attack on the strong humans at any time.
Wherever the tide of beasts passed, it was like a flood was submerging everything, destroying villages, destroying cities, and damaging spiritual fields. Many elixirs, spiritual rice, etc. that were not harvested in time were looted one after another, and the spiritual fields were destroyed.
Many villages were submerged by the tide of beasts and turned into ruins after a while.
Some human civilians had no time to escape to Ziyang Mountain and were attacked by a tide of beasts. They were submerged in an instant. When they reappeared, there were only skeletons.
There were also some casual cultivators, or those who had no time to hide, but they could only hold on for less than a moment under the attack of the beast tide before losing their vitality.
