"Yang'er, it looks like we can't defend Fangshi here. Once the formation is broken, we will immediately disperse and break out. If we can escape, one by one. If you can escape with your life, find a place to hide on the oasis.
Get up and wait until Grandpa and the others come back before looking for him. Don’t go to Baituoling alone!"
On Jinxia Mountain, when Zhou Yang, like everyone else, was shocked and stunned by the news revealed by the bandit leader, the voice of his adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu's spiritual consciousness suddenly sounded in his ears.
He was shocked when he heard the rumor and recovered from his daze in an instant.
After he came back to his senses, he glanced at his adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu, and quietly sent a message back: "Godmother, since we have decided to break out and escape, I suggest that we find a place to bury the extra storage bags to avoid escaping."
I was always being targeted as a fat sheep!"
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Zhou Xuanyu's beautiful eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed to Zhou Yang's suggestion without any hesitation.
Compared with life, money is really an extraneous thing. Moreover, if they really die in the hands of bandits, the contents in the storage bag will still not be brought back to the family.
However, in order not to attract the attention of the three foundation-building monks of the Chen family, these matters could only be carried out quietly and secretly, and they did not dare to expose their true intentions.
After this confrontation for more than half a day, the Qi-training stage bandits, also masked in black robes, finally surrounded them from all directions in Jinxia Mountain. Along with them, there were four Foundation-building stage bandits who were flying with swords.
.
At this point, the number of sand bandits in the foundation building stage alone who besieged Jinxia Mountain reached fourteen, and the number of bandits in the Qi training stage was ten times that.
Zhou Yang noticed that almost all of these new bandits had multiple storage bags hanging on their waists. Some of the storage bags were still stained with fresh blood. They had obviously just been ripped off from the dead.
.
This made his heart sink, knowing that the prophecy of his adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu had come true. Most of the casual cultivators who went down the mountain first, thinking they could escape, died in the hands of these bandits who had been prepared for it.
"Sure enough, bandits are bandits. With their greedy character who wants to extract oil from every stone, how could they easily let go of those casual cultivators who fled in all directions?"
Zhou Yang felt awe-struck in his heart, and once again deeply felt the evil of the bandits.
Except for the different cultivation methods, these people's behavior is no different from the legendary demonic monks. It cannot be said that they are demonic cultivators.
"Come on, use your most powerful spells and most powerful magic weapons, and throw them all at that turtle shell. I want to see how long this turtle shell can last!"
Boom!
Following the order from the bandit leader at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, all the bandits, including those in the Foundation Establishment stage, all released their magical weapons, and their spells blasted towards the formation shield guarding Jinxia Mountain.
The colorful magic light instantly dyed the sky above Jinxia Mountain into a beautiful rainbow color.
However, in the eyes of the monks defending Jinxia Mountain, this beautiful scenery is extremely deadly and dangerous.
Because under the concentrated attack of many sand bandits, the formation shield guarding Jinxia Mountain had begun to shake slightly, although the shaking was not large.
But everyone knows that once the formation shield shakes, it means that the attack of the bandits outside has indeed had an effect. As long as this attack continues, when the spiritual energy that maintains the formation shield cannot keep up with the supply, the formation will
Must be broken.
"Kill, while the formation can still hold on, fellow Taoists, whatever means you have, just use them. If you can kill one, it's enough. If you kill one, you'll be enough. If you kill two, you'll make a profit!"
On Jinxia Mountain, the three Chen family foundation-building monks shouted gloomily and released their flying swords to kill the bandits who were attacking outside the formation.
For high-level formations like the "Huntian Earth Dragon Formation", the defensive shields are basically open to the outside but not inward. The monks outside the formation need to break the formation shield to hurt the people inside the formation, but the people inside the formation
The attack can easily penetrate the shield and attack enemies outside the array.
Therefore, unless they have an absolute advantage in strength, immortal cultivators will never attack the enemy's mountain gate or city that is protected by high-level formations.
Now the Sand Bandits have an absolute advantage in terms of strength. Their total number is much smaller than the people in Fang City, but the number of monks in the foundation-building period is four to five times more than that of Fang City.
The three foundation-building monks of the Chen family had just released their flying swords to kill a few sand bandits in the Qi training stage. They were immediately blocked by the flying swords of the three foundation-building bandits. After that, even if they used other magic weapons to attack, they would be attacked by other
If the foundation-building bandits block it, it will be difficult to achieve success again.
On the contrary, Zhou Yang and other ninth-level qi-training monks were too numerous and their attacks were scattered. Even if the foundation-building stage bandits tried to intercept them, they could not intercept them all. Instead, they took the opportunity to kill some qi-training stage bandits.
Seeing this, the leader of the bandits on the ninth floor of the foundation immediately issued an order to make the bandits in the Qi training stage retreat tens of meters, exit the attack range of the magic weapons of the Qi training monks in the formation, and then use spells from a distance.
Long range bombardment.
This makes the monks in Xiafang City feel uncomfortable. Basically, the attack range of the magic weapon of the monks during the Qi training period is the range of the spiritual consciousness. Once the magic weapon flies out of this distance, it can no longer be controlled by the spiritual consciousness. When the magic weapon is released,
If you go out but can't get it back, won't you give the enemy an advantage in vain?
There is no such problem with spells. Although spells also require the cultivator's spiritual consciousness to lock onto the target in order to launch a precise attack on the enemy, the current array shield outside Jinxia Mountain has a target as large as a target that can be released hundreds of meters away with eyes closed.
There is no chance of a spell being missed.
Of course, Zhou Yang and others can also release spells to attack the sand bandits from a distance, but without their spiritual consciousness to lock the target, their spells are impossible to have any effect on the agile cultivators, unless they have a huge coverage area.
Third level or even fourth level spells.
Not to mention that it is impossible for them to release such a high-level spell, even if someone is willing to consume extremely precious third-level talismans to release a spell, will the foundation-building bandits outside watch?
Only then did Zhou Yang understand why the Chen family's foundation-building monks were willing to let the casual cultivators leave even though they knew that a large number of bandits were coming.
It was expected that even if those people stayed, they wouldn't be able to help much. Instead, they would offend the entire city's casual cultivators and bring notoriety to the Chen family.
But now, no one who knows the inside story will criticize the Chen family. They will only say that the casual cultivators are short-sighted. If they stay in Fangshi, they might be able to save their lives.
Time passed slowly, and the attacks by the sand bandits outside Jinxia Mountain never stopped. Many of the bandits were holding spiritual stones in their hands to absorb spiritual energy to replenish their mana while continuing to cast spells to attack the formation shield.
After these people continued to attack for several hours, the khaki formation shield guarding Jinxia Mountain had become much thinner, and the shaking of the shield was several times stronger than before. It was obviously
The defense is no longer what it used to be.
Seeing this, the three Chen family foundation-building monks on Jinxia Mountain had to order Zhou Yang and other Qi-training monks to input their own mana to maintain the formation's operation and consumption.
Seeing that it was only a matter of time before the protective formation was broken, non-Chen family monks like Zhou Yang were secretly thinking about their retreat and how they were willing to devote their magic power wholeheartedly.
On the surface, they all hold spiritual stones in one hand to absorb spiritual energy to replenish their own mana, and place their other hand on the base of the "Huntian Earth Dragon Formation" to input mana. They all seem to be obeying the orders.
But the actual situation is that everyone has reservations and only inputs a certain amount of mana into the formation, hoping to save the mana and use it to break through.
In this case, the formation shield has not been strengthened much because of the mana provided by the monks. At most, it can delay it for a while.
The bandits outside Jinxia Mountain apparently also discovered this situation, so they intensified their attack intensity.
"These bastards!"
When the three Chen family foundation-building monks on Jinxia Mountain saw this scene, they were really shocked, angry, and extremely angry.
But they were so angry that they were very wise, or helpless, in not exposing the matter, let alone punishing anyone.
As the saying goes: the law does not blame everyone.
When one person or a few people do this, they can decisively kill these people to scare the monkeys.
But when everyone does this, if they dare to use violent methods, they will only force those people to give up providing mana for the formation, allowing the bandits outside to take advantage.
"Yang'er, I've made all the arrangements. When it comes time to take action, you don't have to worry about anyone, just run for your life."
"Remember, you are the hope for the rise of our Zhou family. Your life is more precious than the people here. As long as you are alive, grandpa and their hard work will not be in vain. As long as you can succeed in building the foundation, we people
Even if everyone dies, it’s still worth it!”
At the formation node where the monks of the Zhou family were stationed, Zhou Yang put his hand on the black iron formation base to input mana into the formation, and the voice of his adoptive mother Zhou Xuanyu rang in his ears again.
After hearing the message, he glanced around and found that Zhou Yu, Zhou Xiong, Zhou Yuanchun, Zhou Yuanzhen and other brothers and sisters were all looking at him, with indescribably complicated expressions in their eyes.
Obviously, these people also received a message from Zhou Xuanyu, and perhaps Zhou Xuanyu had specifically asked them to cover his escape.
"I...I understand." He nodded with a heavy face, his heart filled with panic.
First it was Zhou Quan and other elders of the "Light" generation, and now it is these brothers and sisters of the same age. These people have paid so much for the Zhou family to have one more foundation-building monk, and for him, Zhou Yang, to be able to build the foundation!
He wants to live, he must live!
Only by living, living to build the foundation, living to open up the Zifu... living to lead the Zhou family into a strong and powerful cultivating family, can he be worthy of the sacrifices of these people and worthy of those who have placed high hopes on him.
At this moment, the white-haired old monk among the three Chen family foundation-building monks suddenly moved his lips, and secretly transmitted a message to Zhou Yang and Zhou Xuanyu: "Two Taoist friends from the Zhou family, I will be waiting for you in half an hour.
We will join forces to activate the [Huntian Earth Dragon Formation]’s ultimate move to counterattack later. If you want to break through, you must seize the opportunity.”
"Thank you for your kindness, senior."
Zhou Yang and Zhou Xuanyu looked at each other and saw deep joy in each other's eyes.
Just these words from the Chen family's foundation-building monk increased their chances of successfully escaping by more than half.
It seems that their previous choice to abide by the covenant was correct. The three foundation-building monks of the Chen family said nothing on the surface, but secretly saw everything with their eyes, which is why they are now secretly reminding them.
