Ximen Changqing followed the planned route and explored the treasures step by step. In three months, he explored more than fifty places in total.
Among them, there were six exploration sites that were visited by other monks first, so it was a wasted trip. However, most of the treasure hunting sites contained good treasures.
Harvesting a large amount of treasures made Ximen Changqing's family richer and stronger, and his mood became better and better. As for the losses, they were not worth mentioning.
The monks of other sects did not have such good luck. Including the three major forces, all disciples died, and even more were injured.
In order to deal with the increasingly dangerous situation, many forces began to gather together, and finally they all came together to form an army of more than 500 monks.
In addition to the three major forces, the remaining combined forces are also their affiliated forces, and it is appropriate to assist them in treasure hunting together.
In a valley, more than five hundred monks were resting. They had just experienced a fight, and many monks were injured.
If they hadn't gathered together to form a Taoist formation and had six-level trump cards to protect them, the losses would have been even greater.
Of course, their results were also quite brilliant, as they killed more than a dozen fifth-level demonic beasts, plus a sixth-level demon king.
They wiped out half of a huge group of monster beasts, and the remaining half fled and probably don't dare to come back.
The monks who had won the victory did not feel the slightest sense of excitement. Everyone was exhausted and closed their eyes to regain their strength.
"Fellow Daoist Xie Bao, in this fight just now, we used a lot of trump cards. The next battle will probably be more intense, and the trump cards we have may not be enough!"
Zhang Hu looked at Xie Bao with a worried look.
Law Spiritual Liquid must be obtained. If you are not strong enough and cannot defeat the nearby Demon King, you will not be able to obtain Law Spiritual Liquid.
Once they return empty-handed, the sect's senior officials will be furious, which will be very detrimental to their development, and they may even be deprived of the qualification to be promoted to Void Refining.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang Hu, don't worry too much. We have more than 500 people. As long as the strategy is right, we can annihilate the surrounding monster groups one by one.
As long as these groups of monsters don't appear together, we have a 100% chance of winning."
Xie Bao had an idea in his mind, but he was not absolutely sure. Every time he went to get the spirit liquid, he would experience a bloody storm. Even if he succeeded in getting the spirit liquid, the losses would be heavy.
And for the benefit of the sect's top boss, it is worth sacrificing more disciples.
"Fellow Daoist Xie Bao is right. As long as we have the right strategy, we can annihilate the monster groups one by one. We will definitely win a complete victory."
Baan opened his mouth and puffed up.
Next, they will start to capture the spiritual liquid of the law. In order to prevent it from being too late, they have set aside three months. As long as everything goes well, they will be able to successfully capture the spiritual liquid.
"Fellow Taoist Ba'an said it well. Heroes have the same views. Next, let's discuss how to defeat the monsters one by one."
Xie Bao took out a map, pointed to a mountain on the map, and said: "The legal spirit liquid is here, and there is a forbidden air formation nearby. We can't fly there directly, we can only pass through the territory of the monster group.
There is a monster group on each of the three entry roads, and there are neighboring groups of monsters hundreds of miles away.
If there is too much movement, it is possible to attract more than ten groups of monsters. The most dangerous groups of monsters are the three groups closest to the legal liquid. They have the greatest chance of supporting each other.
Therefore, we must contain the two ethnic groups and concentrate our main force to annihilate one ethnic group first. As long as three ethnic groups are eliminated one after another, we will completely win."
"Fellow Daoist Xie Bao, isn't it too dangerous to divide the troops to contain them? Isn't it very dangerous for the fellow Taoist responsible for the containment? If you are not careful, the whole army will be destroyed!"
Zhang Hu frowned, worried that the divided troops responsible for containment would not be able to complete the task well.
"I think what Fellow Daoist Xie Bao said makes sense. Dividing the troops to contain them is the best way. They don't need to win, they just need to contain the monsters. Even if the entire army is annihilated, it's still worth it."
Baan made a very cold-blooded statement. Anyway, the disciples of the Ba Dao Sect will not do the diversionary task. This diversionary task will definitely fall on the subordinate forces.
"Okay, since both of you think so, then I don't have any objections, just do it like this!"
Zhang Hu is not a kind person, and he also doesn't care much about the life and death of the monks from the affiliated forces, as long as the disciples of the Tianwei Sect are not allowed to die.
Soon, Xie Bao and the other three summoned all the affiliated forces to discuss the situation.
He plans to select six combined forces to be responsible for containing the other two monsters. Each of the three major forces will choose two affiliated forces.
Zhang Hu of Tianqimen looked at the more than ten affiliated forces and said seriously: "For the sake of the overall situation, someone must make sacrifices. Let's draw lots! The selected forces will carry out the task of containment."
Hearing this, more than ten combined forces were quite nervous, but they did not dare to object and could only draw lots honestly.
"Why us?"
The two selected combined forces were very depressed. Both of them only had eight monks left, and their strength was greatly reduced. If they went to carry out the containment mission, they were almost certain to go away and never come back.
The Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts and the Ba Dao Sect also each selected two affiliated forces and six affiliated forces. The smallest number only had six monks, and the largest number had fifteen monks.
Xie Bao and the other two divided the monks from the six factions into two groups, with each group consisting of about thirty monks. Their strength was indeed relatively weak.
It is very dangerous for thirty monks to face a group of monster beasts with the presence of the Demon King. They have a high chance of falling.
However, in order to complete their mission, the three major forces did not care about the life and death of these monks. They wanted to concentrate their main forces and annihilate them all the way, so as to successfully seize the spiritual fluid of law.
They repaired it for three full days to restore all the monks to their peak condition.
"Senior Brother, I personally conducted some investigation. The weakest monster group is the Golden Horn Sheep group, which has only one sixth-level Golden Horn Sheep. The other two monster groups have at least two sixth-level Demon Emperors."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xie Jin returned to the valley and reported his investigation to Xie Bao.
He has a treasure on his body that blocks the detection of spiritual consciousness. As long as the Demon King doesn't search for it, it will be difficult to find him.
"Oh, then our main force will first destroy the Golden Horn Sheep tribe."
Hearing that the golden-horned sheep group was the weakest, Xie Bao chose the golden-horned sheep group without hesitation in order to reduce the difficulty of performing the task. As for the monk responsible for containing it, it didn't matter if he died.
He told Zhang Hu and Ba'an about Xie Jin's investigation. They both had the same opinions as him and expressed their intention to assemble the main force to eliminate the Golden Horn Sheep tribe.
"Okay, all fellow Taoists have almost recovered. Now you are ready to take action. I will lay out the specific tasks now..."
Xie Bao found the senior brothers from various factions and told them the mission.
With great sadness, the six monks responsible for containment set off early. They could only pray that the monster was not as strong as they thought and that they could survive.
Xie Bao and three others, with the main army of monks, directly attacked the Golden Horn Sheep tribe.
In order to prevent the noise from being too loud and attracting support from other ethnic groups, the three major forces sent elite disciples to sneak into the vicinity of the Golden Horn Sheep ethnic group and set up a large number of soundproof formations to block the spread of the movement as much as possible.
Of course, in order to reduce casualties, offensive and defensive formations are also deployed. Once a fight breaks out, they can pretend to retreat, introduce the monster group into the formation area, and use the formation to trap the monsters, making it easier to kill them.
However, the monks would never have imagined that the Golden Horn Sheep clan would have a highly intelligent clan member whose intelligence level was no less than that of human monks.
It can even hide its aura and disguise itself as a first-level demon.
At this moment, in the underground cave of the Golden Horn Sheep clan, this wise man was receiving guests, and the guests were two demon emperors.
Since the secret room has the function of blocking spiritual consciousness, Xie Jin could not find it during his investigation.
The Golden Horned Sheep clan discovered a demon king, but there were actually four demon kings, two of whom were helpers invited by the Golden Horned Sheep clan.
After fighting with humans for a long time, this wise man has long discovered the pattern. Every five hundred years, human monks will enter their territory and massacre their people.
Therefore, this time it wanted to take revenge. It guessed that the human monks would attack its tribe. In order to inflict heavy damage on the human monks, it specially invited two helpers.
Based on its understanding of the human monks who attack the tribe every time, the combat power of four demon kings is enough to deal with them.
As long as they can hold on, reinforcements from the surrounding areas will arrive soon, and in time, they will be enough to surround and annihilate all the human monks.
He had done this kind of thing before and surrounded and annihilated six hundred human monks, causing the human monks to suffer heavy losses.
Unfortunately, there is a strong demon-killing ban near the treasure that the human race wants to seize, and the monsters cannot get close at all. Therefore, even if the human race monks are surrounded and annihilated, it will be difficult to obtain the treasure.
"Brother Niu, Brother Tiger, thank you both for your hard work this time. Don't worry, as long as you kill the human monk, you will each get 40% of the spoils. Sheep will only need 20%."
The leader of the Golden Horn Sheep laughed.
"Hahaha! That's such a good feeling! Let's do it this way. As long as human monks dare to come over, I guarantee that they will never come back."
The bull demon made a ferocious expression.
"Ho ho ho..."
The tiger demon roared, acknowledging the bull demon's statement. Both of them were sixth-level demon emperors with extraordinary strength, and they never looked down upon human god-transforming monks.
Only when there are too many human cultivators can we be able to intimidate them and prevent them from being too arrogant.
"Brother Ox, Brother Tiger, are here, the human boys are here, and they are here to die."
The leader of the Golden Horn Sheep received the spies' report and told the two demon kings with a smile.
"Haha! You're good to go. Mr. Hu's hands have been itchy for a long time. He must kill as many as he can this time."
The tiger smiled and showed its ferocious face.
"Let's go, let's fight out together and destroy these human descendants."
The bull demon and the tiger demon teamed up, left the underground secret room, and appeared on the battlefield, followed closely by the golden-horned sheep leader.
"Chief, two brothers, you are here! There are quite a few human monks, nearly five hundred of them, so we should not underestimate them!"
The second leader of the Golden Horn Sheep frowned and looked at the army of human monks.
"Oh, there are so many Terran boys, it's really a bit tricky!"
Looking at the large number of human monks, the four demon emperors did not dare to be too careless. They knew that when the human monks gathered together, they would use the so-called Taoist formation, which was enough to withstand their attacks.
Among the army of human monks, Xie Bao and others were also shocked.
"Xie Jin, how did you investigate? Didn't you say there was only one sixth-order Demon King? Why are there four of them? These are tricky."
Ba'an looked at Xie Jin and accused him.
"Junior brother, why didn't you notice? This is a disaster for us."
Xie Bao was also dissatisfied and frowned deeply.
"Brother, I didn't mean it. I really didn't notice it. They must have hidden it on purpose. They are plotting against us!"
Xie Jin thought of a possibility, his eyes were full of shock, the monsters had learned to calculate, it was amazing.
"Forget it, if we find four demon kings, we can stop carrying out the mission. As long as we work together, we still have a chance of winning.
Anyway, there are no more treasures that need to be captured next. The legal liquid is the last treasure we capture. If we take out all our trump cards, we can kill the four demon kings."
Zhang Hu stared at the four demon emperors with murderous intent.
If he were the only monk, he would run away immediately, but with an army of nearly five hundred monks around him, facing the enemy with a Taoist formation, even four Demon Emperors could fight.
"Okay, fellow Taoist Zhang Hu is generous. In order to complete the mission assigned by the sect, we must fight hard. All monks are listening to orders and preparing for a bloody battle."
Xie Bao knew that there was no way out at this moment, he could only strengthen his faith and fight the four demon emperors to the end.
"Everyone uses the sect as a unit to form a Taoist formation and fight all the way through."
Baan loudly encouraged morale and sacrificed the sixth-level puppet beast.
Faced with the threat of the four demon kings, the monks knew that escaping alone would be a dead end, so it was better to gather together and fight to the death, as there might be a glimmer of hope.
"If you don't overestimate your ability, kill!"
The four demon kings were also angry and killed them directly. All the lower-level members of the Golden Horn Sheep clan moved away, leaving only more than forty fifth-level demon kings in the clan.
The combat power of the fifth-level demon king is no longer a threat to the army of five hundred human monks. It only needs an army of forty monks to contain them.
There are only four sixth-order demon kings that can pose a threat to the monk army. Even if there are a hundred times more people, the monks will feel a sense of powerlessness in the face of the powerful demon king.
The battle was very fierce and caused a lot of commotion. Even if the human monks formed a Taoist formation, they would inevitably fall one by one.
Of course, the four sixth-level demon kings were also injured. The sixth-level trump card in the hands of the disciples of the big forces was no joke. It was enough to hurt the sixth-level demon king.
The battle lasted for a day and a night, and twenty fifth-level golden-horned sheep were killed, eighteen human monks were killed, and more than thirty people were seriously injured.
The fight ended in a lose-lose situation for both sides, with no one taking advantage.
"Oh, the fight was so intense, it seems I'm late!"
Just when both sides were exhausted, Ximen Changqing quietly arrived on the battlefield. He hid in the Nine Heavens Space, out of everyone's sight. The Void Doll was responsible for carrying the Nine Heavens Beads.
