The dark valley in the embrace of the mountains is faintly visible. Although the huge black lotus hidden inside is not visible, the whip vines spreading and taking root at the entrance of the valley can be seen even with better eyesight.
"It didn't go so well." Lu Ming clenched his hands and stared at the Jinyu Pavilion.
Not more than five miles away from the Devil's Nest, a dark and dark pass suddenly appeared - two mountains faced dangerous terrain, bunkers were spread out along ramps, and a strong defense line had been established.
Everyone in the coalition army who had some military experience frowned when they saw it: "This area didn't look like this before. It was just a village."
"He was certainly slaughtered."
"Is this possible in a day or two?"
"It is said that the operation can only last a few days, or the mountain can be transformed with magic... In short, Taoist methods can be done by the magicians group in the state..."
It is no longer useful to say this. Breaking through quickly is the current problem. Both the coalition soldiers on the ground and the temporary Taoist soldiers from Jinyu Pavilion are looking at Ye Qing - some can see it, some cannot see it, but there is no doubt that Ye Qing is this
The backbone of the service.
"Master, why do you have to fight?" At this time, Qianqian frowned and asked. She is the person closest to Ye Qing, knows many secrets, and has a deep understanding of Ye Qing's character.
Based on her understanding of Ye Qing, she would not be so hasty.
"Qianqian, I received a letter from Prince Yu a few days ago, saying that in fact the fifth-grade Hanlin has been obtained. I asked him to hold on to it and wait for my news."
"But even if it is a victory, I am a heavenly being. If I don't formally attach myself to the imperial court, my official position will only be the fifth rank of Hanlin. At most, I can add some false titles, and I will still be just a noble."
"Moreover, do you really think that the imperial court is willing to withdraw from the states and enfeoff the country?"
"In other words, now that the catastrophe is approaching, the focus is no longer on the imperial court, but on the heaven. Whoever can seize the opportunity will be included in the list of heaven."
"What feat can be compared to the first kill - especially when these demons are still in an unprecedented period of weakness.
After saying this, Ye Qing immediately gave the order.
A gust of wind and rain blew across, mixed with secret messages from the coach, slight adjustments were made everywhere, and the attack formation was immediately unfolded...
"It's time to take action"
Special fortresses were constructed in more than a dozen directions on the ramp. They were semi-enclosed structures that could avoid, attack, and support each other. The faint tide of spiritual energy formed a formation. Nearly a thousand people watched the formation changes below with cold eyes and tightened their weapons.
In the main formation at the top of the hill, coach He Dongshan asked three real people as usual: "Should we snipe or defend?"
The formation lacks spiritual objects and only uses the spiritual energy lotus seeds produced by the Demon Nest. The ones given by Taoist Mingyang are limited and cannot be activated for a long time. They can only be used at the most critical moments...such as the moment when the enemy Jinyu Pavilion takes action.
"If it doesn't come out, we will force it to show up and test the strength of this group of soldiers first." The spiritual flames of a Demon Sect master rose up, and the first thunderbolt of this battle suddenly fell.
"Enemy attack——"
The center of the coalition army immediately rose up with water light, and a transparent water curtain enveloped the front and rear. The hundreds of people stood faintly in a mysterious formation, and the water spirits swarmed and rotated, which was natural... Someone raised his head, and the red dragon mark shone brightly between his eyebrows.
"Aqua"
At each formation, some well-informed magicians instinctively activated their defenses and shouted...
There is also this kind of race in this domain, which is its own entity and belongs to the jurisdiction of Dragon Lord. It spans the lakes, seas and astronomical winds and rains in all directions, and it is a stormy day right now.
Everyone waited with bated breath, fearing that thunder and fire were about to explode in the formation, and a dragon-shaped condensation suddenly formed on the water curtain.
"Roar——" The spirit dragon withstood the thunder and fire and dissipated, and the team was commotion for a while. There was a kind of clarity in the chaos, and they continued to move forward in the blink of an eye.
"But that's it, there are only a few high-level aquatic tribes." Master Momen said coldly, and the message continued: "Give it to me, kill...delay them."
"Without the Shui Tribe, all that's left are miscellaneous soldiers."
"Divide and destroy"
The Taoists from other areas followed suit and encouraged the bandits and each other. There was only one tacit understanding: "Never break out of the scope of this slope formation. It would be a tragedy to be swept away by the opponent's fairy chariot."
Ye Qing waved his sword, and waved the flag three times in front of the Chinese army. The charge of the coalition forces started, and at the same time a voice sounded in their ears: "Listen to my command, don't charge too far..."
The arc at the bottom of the slope turns into a line. As it goes up and down, the two streams of people suddenly collide.
The military spirit was like smoke, and the swords and arrows were like tides. The front and back of this battle line were covered with blood. With the advantage of the Taoist explosion of the magician group, three Taoists from the outside world led their troops to rush out of the gap almost instantly. Each and every one of them had deep black marks on their foreheads.
, the military spirit was boiling continuously, and the assault became faster.
But green thorny vines rose up in several places, and each one passed through them, impaling these brave master thieves immediately, leaving them hanging in the air bleeding and screaming.
The "new real person" Taoist from the outside world immediately noticed this special-looking girl in green.
Qianqian sprinkled another handful of emerald green thorn seeds to fill the gap, and stared at the killed bandits, watching them bleed and watch them die. The young girl found that she did not feel any discomfort at all. It was as if she realized that she still felt like this for the first time.
The cold side...
"But it is the right thing for traitors of heaven and earth, right?" The girl looked at the gray and dead woods and asked softly to the seeds on the ground.
Emerald green thorns grew rapidly and strangled them in a swaggering manner, responding to her words.
"Damn it, it's a well-guarded wooden vein." The Taoist from the outside world retreated angrily... They are just here to delay, not to take risks, and they cannot face the enemy lightly.
"Leave the task of testing to the people below, and we have to be on guard against the people above." Such a secret consensus was reached instantly in the sound transmission.
All the Taoists from the outside world were secretly cursing. After yesterday's battle, the magicians suffered a lot, especially half of the low-level ones on the first and second levels of the Qi training layer died. Those who still listen to deception at this time are fools.
But strong confidence is still filling their hearts - the devil's nest is behind them, they can quickly run back to replenish the damage, their vitality can continue to be overdrawn, and their Taoist power can be exerted
The thieves and bandits are just cannon fodder and military spirit to protect the souls. The key combat power is still themselves. With the advantages of various Taoist techniques for protection and attack, are they afraid that they can't defeat the ordinary ordinary army?
Only a shadow hangs over them.
Jinyu Pavilion, the war machine of Xianjia Waterline, uses the wind and rain as a bathing pool to swim around, sometimes here, sometimes there, but it just doesn't take action.
Even if the spirit pool at the real person level is empty and the true god shrinks, it is only shrinking, not nothing - this alone is better than a fourth-level qi-training magician. The super-level produces qualitatively changed spiritual consciousness, and the investigative power is not inferior to Ye Qing's spiritual reflection.
The whereabouts of Jinyu Pavilion are clear.
No less prepared than last night after a long battle, when the magic power was temporarily at its peak, if Jinyu Pavilion took action, it would be a momentary impact. The sense of threat of not taking action would put more pressure on the three real people of the Demon Sect. Who knew who would be the first to be attacked?
Which one is attacking with concentrated fire?
"Once the fire is concentrated, there will definitely be a trap for attacking with hidden moves. I won't be the unlucky guy." The three of them thought this almost tacitly.
Real people are especially wary of this, and Taoist priests who are less powerful are even more in danger. They cannot catch the deadly enemies that blend in with the natural wind and rain, and can only judge the direction from the real people's messages. What does this feel like?
They were all on tenterhooks and had to devote most of their energy to defense, and were even always ready to escape and return to the formation.
Being blocked by the Shui Tribe soldiers for a moment, they couldn't help but curse in their hearts: "Damn it, if it weren't for the fact that the strength has not been restored, this little trick of the natives..."
Lu Ming watched the Jinyu Pavilion holding back his sweat. He couldn't help but urge Ye Qing to throw the Jinyu Pavilion's attack several times, but after thinking about it, he held back...
He couldn't stand many things about this younger generation, except for his talent for war. He was calm enough and cruel enough.
Jinyu Pavilion doesn't take action. The Water Tribe's natural talent, Water Veins and Qi Array, is okay against area-of-effect killing spells. Melee combat alone cannot resist magicians of the same level. In the exchange of battle losses, the Taoist group from the outside world clearly has the upper hand. The battle situation is falling.
"Listen to my command." Ye Qing's consciousness spans the entire battlefield, commanding each team to avoid, support, counterattack, retreat, magicians attack or heal, and water tribe soldiers move forward to establish support nodes...
The adjustment seemed very trivial, but it was a coincidence that it allowed the two fronts to maintain a fluctuating balance, and even maintained the speed at which the entire army moved forward bit by bit.
Step by step, towards the pass ramp, towards the devil's nest
This kind of wave advance has been explained before the war, but it is too thrilling for most soldiers who have been at peace for too long. Ye Qing has been required to make emergency adjustments several times. At this time, the veterans of the Ye family have shown their mainstay role.
And the high-level water tribes on the third and fourth levels of Qi training are the fire brigade at the most critical moment. As for the guys from Youshui Gate,
The disciples of Youshui Sect, contrary to their efforts in defending the county town last night, were almost using their identity as guest soldiers of the Immortal Sect to make a fool of themselves.
The Chinese army huddled up to attack some bandits from a distance, and wisely did not provoke the magicians. It was more than enough to protect themselves. Many eyes even fell on the beautiful and beautiful girl... She had not seen him for a night, and she was already a real person.
The shock of the first meeting has long passed. In addition to being amazed and admiring, out of some subtle mentality, everyone secretly slandered the coach Ye Qing: "This fluctuation is too big. The enemy has rushed into the Chinese army several times, and it is all senior brothers."
Lu Xiuping pressed back, if it weren't for my disciples from the Immortal Sect..."
Lu Xiuping fought with a demon sect master and then retreated, frowning and suppressing his objection: "They have just come out of the demon nest, and their bodies are in peak condition after repair. The master is equivalent to the temporary recovery of most of the spirit pool, even if they don't burn desperately.
It is also an advantage in terms of high-end combat power.”
The real person didn't say anything, but his words were prestigious, and all the disciples immediately fell silent. They understood that he meant that they were not allowed to cause trouble at this time...
They marched hard and fell into a hard battle across the board. Casualties began to appear, and the thieves who were hedging were also casualties. Taking advantage of the superior protection of various Taoist techniques, even low-level Taoists from the outside world were surrounded and killed by the Shui Tribe group. This suddenly made everyone begin to realize
, this may only intercept... rather than annihilate
"Mr. Bang Second is right. After losing the advantage of last night's surprise attack, the enemy is not as powerful as imagined." Many family heads looked down in the invisible Jinyu Pavilion. They all looked at each other and had some consensus on what was going to happen next.
All the Taoists from the outside world suddenly took action together, releasing large-scale spells and causing mist to rise on the battlefield.
Because there was an indifferent voice coming from the devil's nest, which touched the bottom of their hearts: "That's enough, retreat to the slope to defend."
"Yes." The Taoists were all overjoyed and looked up at the sky. Finally, they no longer had to endure the fatal threat from Jinyu Pavilion.
Master Momen even asked more: "Master Mingyang, have you done it there?"
"Almost." At the bottom of the Demon Nest, there was a pavilion-upright lotus platform in the center of a hot spring. Mingyang stared closely at the scale on the lotus heart, which was marked with exotic-style patterns and calligraphy.
If Ye Qing were here, he would definitely recognize the meaning of these words: The depth of drilling into the ground is three thousand feet.
Five real people joined forces to surround the lotus platform, forming a five-element upside-down array, causing the center of the lotus platform to spin backwards and collapse, forming a deep tunnel.
Three thousand and one feet... The inscription jumped again, glowing with a fiery red color, carrying the smell of magma and sulfur.
"Take back the rest of the root system and strengthen the main root." Ming Yang looked happy. Fortunately, the headmaster gave Yingzhou detailed information, so he had to choose this place.
Three thousand and nine feet...beating again, but stopped.
The first senior brother shook his head: "This is not possible. There is not much power left in the remaining root systems. Due to the loss and recovery on the battlefield outside, Black Lotus's resources have dropped to the bottom line..."
Mingyang frowned, looked back outside the valley, and relaxed again.
These wastes can be used for a while. In reality, even Taoist Mingyang himself now doubts that these casual cultivators who obviously have the core idea of running away are not worth it even if they are sent here to be cannon fodder, right?
Moreover, his recent attempt to massacre the county was scolded by his superiors, which made Mingyang even more suspicious. What was the intention of the headmaster, or the saint from above, in sending these large-scale casual cultivators, whose actual combat effectiveness was equal to five?
