The atmosphere suddenly became a little solemn. The faces of Zheng Kaixuan, Cao Hong, Wan Cangsheng and others were all uncertain at this time, and they could not make up their minds for a while.
If this had been during the Battle of the Mountain, these people would have followed Li Erdan directly without any reason.
But now this is a land of evil spirits, and I am facing a group of ferocious evil spirits. If one of them fails, I will lose my life in it.
This solemn atmosphere did not last for a long time, that is, within a dozen breaths, a very decisive look appeared on Zheng Kaixuan's face.
"I don't believe that Captain Erdan will lead us to death. Since Captain Erdan has decided to fight the enemy head-on, then I, Zheng Kaixuan, will risk my life to accompany you."
"Thank you, Master Zheng, for trusting me, Li Erdan. I believe we will become good friends in the future."
Li Erdan replied with a smile.
"Hahaha, since you are not afraid of death, I would be a joke to you if I were as timid as a mouse, so I will follow Captain Erdan."
"Including me, Zhang Hongliang, I will also follow Captain Erdan."
"Old man, I've already bought half of the people. If I kill a few more demon cubs in my lifetime, it won't be a loss in this lifetime."
In the blink of an eye, these hesitant people basically expressed their willingness to follow Li Erdan's command.
Li Erdan was very satisfied with this result.
This time, the main reason why Li Erdan was so strong was to establish prestige.
Li Erdan is not the kind of arrogant person who can't listen to other people's advice and is arbitrary.
But in this temporary team, one must establish absolute majesty.
When leading a team, the captain does not have absolute authority and everyone expresses their own opinions. This will not only affect morale, but also lead to chaos.
Normally, it's okay to say that once you fall into a dangerous situation and one person has his own doctrine, it will definitely be fatal to the entire team.
Tong Jian, Gundilong and others have been dating him for such a long time, and it is easy to say that they have become friends with each other.
But for people like Zheng Kaixuan, Cao Hong, and Wan Cangsheng, it's hard to say.
If in a crisis, these people give themselves up on the spot and escape before the battle, it will be a disaster for the entire team.
There is a saying to describe the defeated deserters: one deserter can lead away ten, and ten deserters can lead away a hundred.
The morale and morale of a team are simply too important to a team.
Due to various considerations, Li Erdan had to cut through the mess quickly.
"Captain Erdan, it has always been a pleasure to work with you for such a long time. Mr. Cao also admires Captain Erdan. He is a leader among the younger generation. Mr. Cao is impressed by Captain Erdan's strength and personal ability.
Deeply admired.
But this time, I, Cao Hong, really cannot agree with Captain Erdan’s decision. I, Cao Hong, would not regret his death. I have been in the martial arts world for so many years, but I must be responsible for the children of our Cao family. They are the members of our Cao family.
Hope for the future, Captain Erdan, please don’t blame me.”
Cao Hong, the head of the Hermit family, said with an apologetic expression.
"Brother Cao, you..." Zheng Kaixuan suddenly became anxious.
Cao Hong and Wan Cangsheng were both brought here by Zheng Kaixuan at the beginning of the battle to seize the mountain. Now seeing that Cao Hong actually wanted to abandon everyone, Zheng Kaixuan suddenly became a little anxious.
"Brother Kaixuan, I'm really sorry that I can't fight side by side with you. But brother Kaixuan, there is no need to persuade me, I have made up my mind."
Cao Hong said with a very serious look.
"I can understand Patriarch Cao. Don't feel ashamed, Patriarch Cao. Since Patriarch Cao has decided, we will meet again later. Patriarch Cao, please be careful."
Li Erdan didn't show the slightest hint of anger and bowed his hand to Cao Hong.
"Is there anyone else who has the same idea as Patriarch Cao Hong and wants to break through the opening? If so, you can stay now and be with Patriarch Cao Hong. If not, we can still make preparations while there is still some time.
"
After Li Erdan finished speaking, he looked around with bright eyes.
When Li Erdan glanced at several family heads and sect masters, and saw that no one wanted to leave, he opened his mouth and spoke.
"Without further delay, the evil spirit is coming soon. Come with me immediately to prepare."
After Li Erdan finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Seeing Li Erdan leaving, Tong Jian, Gundilong, Chang Xiaoqian, and Gong Waner, these people turned around and followed Li Erdan without any hesitation.
Time was short, and only Cao Hong and nine other people were left in the open space where everyone was discussing.
These nine people are all members of the Cao family, direct descendants and elders of the Cao family.
"Dad, I think it would be safer if we follow the large army."
Next to Cao Hong, a middle-aged man in his thirties said cautiously.
The middle-aged man's name is Cao Lijia, who is Cao Hong's eldest son.
"Hmph! You know nothing.
Follow the big army, what do you know?
This kid Li Erdan just leads people to die.
He, a member of the evil demon clan, is a soft persimmon that can be easily manipulated?
It is recorded in our Cao family's classics that all the members of the evil clan are bloodthirsty people. Not only are they cruel in nature, but they are also made of steel and are extremely ferocious. All of them are ruthless characters who are not afraid of death.
Even if it is an earth-level evil spirit, three or five people can entangle a heaven-level master.
What's more, the forces controlled by the demons are more than ten times ours.
Moreover, the most important thing is that those demons must be more familiar with the surrounding terrain than we are. It can be said that the right time, location, people and all are occupied by the demons. Li Erdan wants to break through with just a few people. It is simply a dream.
."
Cao Hong snorted coldly.
"But, father, have you forgotten that they can use battle formations? It's not like you don't know the power of battle formations."
After being scolded by his father, Cao Lijia replied somewhat unconvinced.
"Battle formation?"
Cao Hong's originally contemptuous face revealed a hint of awe.
"Perhaps Li Erdan's greatest reliance is that miraculous battle formation.
However, even if they have a battle formation, facing so many demons, and meeting the enemy head-on, the chance of successfully breaking out of the encirclement is not more than 40%.
The probability of this is too small, and my father will not take risks with that kid."
"But father, there are only so many people in our family. Once those evil spirits find out, wouldn't it be difficult for us to escape?"
Cao Lijia said worriedly.
"Hehe! My child, you are still a little young. This is where you should learn more from me, your father.
You are right. With our family's small manpower, once those evil spirits target us, we will definitely face a near-death situation.
But don't worry, kid, we can just sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and wait for that guy Li Erdan to help us attract the enemy's firepower.
Once their three hundred or so people start fighting with the demon clan, all the demons' attention will definitely be focused on them, and we can take the opportunity to escape."
