Time flies and one day passes in the blink of an eye.
The fighting in Black Wind Ridge continues, but Linghu Canyon slowly stabilizes.
In the early morning of the next day, as the power of the black wind had weakened to a controllable level, a group of monks from Longmen Mountain finally re-fixed the formation, leaving only a gap for the black wind, and the size of the gap was also limited.
On the scale of twenty feet.
After a group of powerful monks from Longmen Mountain freed up their hands to join the suppression team, the escaped soul beasts were quickly blocked. Coupled with the powerful siege of several other Dan Yuan realm experts and a group of True Yuan realm monks, the escaped soul beasts
There were fewer and fewer soul beasts, and the situation quickly stabilized.
However, before everyone had time to cheer and celebrate, news came that the situation in Black Wind Ridge was still chaotic. Soon the order from Zhenjun Xuanchen also arrived, leaving two Danyuan realm and a hundred monks to continue to guard Linghu Canyon, and the rest
People went to Heifeng Ridge for reinforcements.
So Xu Chen followed the large army to Heifeng Ridge again.
After arriving at Heifeng Ridge, everyone knew that what they said was true. The scale and speed of the black wind in Heifeng Ridge were more than ten times greater than that of Linghu Canyon, and the number of spirit beasts that appeared was also more than ten times greater, and
Among them are a large number of soul beasts whose strength is no less powerful than those in the late stage of the True Yuan Realm, and there are even many soul beasts that specialize in invading souls.
However, in just over a day, more than forty monks died in Heifeng Ridge, and nearly a hundred were injured.
Including all the monks in the Danyuan Realm, they were all in an extremely embarrassed state. Their vitality was almost completely exhausted, and they could only rely on continuous tapping of Dan to hold on.
However, since True Lord Xuanchen made a shocking blow that consumed all his spiritual energy, and the first wave of soul beasts that rushed out of the cave were all cleaned up, the number of soul beasts that came out later has been much smaller, although it is still as big as crossing the river.
There is a constant stream of crucian carp, but at least to the extent that they can be identified, they are several times rarer.
Therefore, with the addition of more than a hundred monks from the Spirit Fox Canyon, the situation gradually stabilized. Although it was impossible to break into the central core area to clean up, the number of soul beasts in the edge areas of the Five Elements Formation had been reduced a lot, and all the monks began to
I had enough energy to take the elixir and refine it, and my depleted vitality began to recover.
After a day and night of melee fighting and heavy casualties, the overall cooperation of the monks participating in the battle gradually became smoother, and they all carried out the orders of the leader of the Danyuan Realm powerhouse more seriously.
Don’t be serious. The strong ones in the Danyuan realm are the mainstays in killing the soul beasts this time. Each of them has the Ruodinghai Shenzhen to control the defensive range of dozens of miles in radius.
Although their spiritual consciousness has been compressed from a hundred miles to ten miles, and the spell attack range has been compressed to about one mile, under their powerful spiritual scanning, they can capture the movements of almost all soul beasts within the defensive range, so
It is possible to make accurate judgments based on the scope of activity of the spirit beasts and coordinate a clearing campaign.
And those who liked to work alone or did not obey orders, or even left the team without authorization in order to snatch the soul beads, basically died.
Those who suffered heavy casualties were basically small-scale immortal sects or family cultivators with little reputation.
Therefore, although the Black Wind Ridge monks suffered heavy casualties, in fact, the large and medium-sized immortal sects were not greatly affected. Even if there were damage, it was only a few people, and it was not worth mentioning at all.
Relative to casualties, large and medium-sized sects have gained more.
The large amount of soul beads harvested alone is enough to make up for all expenses and losses.
Xu Chen has a deep understanding of this matter.
He had entered the depths of the Black Wind Ridge Fissure Cave twice before, and only got two soul beads the first time.
The second time I bet with Lan You and I went in and got nearly a hundred.
But this time he watched the excitement and took action, and at this time he had harvested at least two hundred pills in his storage bag.
This was due to his lack of cultivation and being ordered not to enter the center of the formation, and had to wait in the outside to hunt in the grass.
Those monks waiting in the formation have gained even more.
Especially the four leaders of the Danyuan Realm, every time they cast a large-scale spell, they can harvest at least seven or eight pieces, sometimes even dozens, by raising their hands and grabbing them.
Moreover, Xu Chen also discovered that the soul beasts that came out this time had a surprisingly large number of soul beads. Almost 70% to 80% of them had soul beads in their bodies. Therefore, these mysterious monsters were not only a source of terror, but they were also flying one after another.
Wealth, there is a big word "WEALTH" floating on each head, which makes people fearful and jealous.
As time went by, the situation in Heifeng Ridge, which received reinforcements, completely stabilized after half a day.
A group of powerful men from the Danyuan Realm began to lead each team to clear out the core area.
Xu Chen, because of his strong spiritual consciousness and fighting ability that was not weaker than the monks in the middle stage of Zhenyuan, followed a group of Yuqing Palace troops into the formation. Soon he was suddenly surprised to find that Lan You, whom he had not seen for several months, was also there.
in.
However, her cultivation level is now in the middle stage of the True Yuan Realm. Among a large group of True Yuan Realm monks in the Yuqing Palace, the aura fluctuations are very obvious. At this time, she is following a group of fellow disciples who are surrounding and slaying the soul beasts. A flying sword dances in the air like gold.
Pi Lian roared across a space of hundreds of feet, killing with a black light that shot into the sky, and soul beasts were crushed to pieces by the light of the sword in the air.
However, although Xu Chen didn't hate this cold and indifferent woman, he didn't like her either.
So I didn't think about it and didn't come up to say hello.
In fact, there was no deep grudge between him and Lan You. After the two were trapped in the cave for nearly a month and spent time together day and night, all the grudges had disappeared.
It's just that ever since Master Yulong threatened the three of them, he has been inexplicably disgusted with the people of Yuqing Palace. Now that a large group of people from Yuqing Palace are together, this displeasure has become obvious.
Therefore, in order to avoid the awkward meeting, Xu Chen decided to change the direction.
"Let's go over there!"
Xu Chen told several senior brothers and sisters, as well as a group of casual cultivators such as Song Qingshi and Zhou Ding who were following him to help pick up the leaks.
The third senior brother said: "Little junior brother, we are just coming in to watch the fun and help out. There are people from Yuqing Palace in front of us. It is much safer to follow them."
Song Qingshi and a group of other casual cultivators all nodded vigorously.
The strength of Yuqing Palace is very strong. There are elders from the Danyuan realm in front of them to open the way. Basically, all the powerful soul beasts are killed, leaving some weaker or even injured soul beasts. Then they pass by a group of True Yuan realms such as Lan You.
After the monks slaughtered them, those who escaped were left with deep scars, which happened to be missed.
Along the way, they fought their way into the formation. In just a moment, a group of people each harvested several soul beads.
This kind of thing of following a strong man to pick up the slack and drink soup to make a fortune is the favorite thing of all casual cultivators, and it is basically not dangerous at all.
Xu Chen curled his lips and said with a smile: "Following their butts, you can only eat scraps. If you want to make a fortune, you have to find a better place."
Everyone thought it was reasonable when they heard it. After all, the desire to make a fortune outweighed safety considerations.
Especially now that more than six strong men of the Dan Yuan Realm and hundreds of True Yuan Realm monks have entered the formation with all their strength and begun to fight back forcefully. Once this clearing mission is over and the formation is re-sealed, there will never be anything like this again.
It's a good chance to kill the soul beast and collect the soul beads.
So a group of people followed Xu Chen and turned around, rushing sideways into the rolling black mist.
In the large formation, the thick black mist is no longer as thick as the area one or two miles deep in the fissure of Heifeng Ridge. Basically, those in the Kaiyuan realm can no longer move independently. Even the consciousness of the True Yuan realm is compressed to about ten feet.
When encountering a tyrannical spirit beast, you can only barely protect yourself.
But for Xu Chen, his consciousness was very little affected. After entering the formation, he could easily see about a mile. If it was fuzzy induction, he could see most of the core area of the Five Elements Formation.
Take a vague look at it.
This is almost the range that only a strong person in the early stage of Dan Yuan Realm can discern.
Therefore, for Xu Chen, there is actually not much danger in entering the formation. A weak soul beast cannot defeat him, but a strong one can easily avoid it.
But just as Xu Chen and others were leaving, Lan You, who was struggling to kill the soul beast in front, suddenly stopped and turned around with surprise on his face. In his consciousness, he only saw a group of people disappearing into the black mist.
He left in the middle, and a vague young figure among them was the person she thought about day and night.
"He doesn't want to see me..."
For an instant, Lan You stayed in the air, letting the flying sword lose its brilliance and whizzing down, feeling so sad that tears rolled down her thin and pale cheeks.
Seven or eight soul beasts roared out from the churning black mist and arrived in an instant.
"Junior sister, be careful!"
"Sister Lan, be careful!"
A group of Yuqing Palace disciples screamed and rushed forward from all directions. More than a dozen flying swords and magic weapons met the soul beast. Amidst the roaring explosions, colorful thunder and fire auras exploded all over the sky. Seven or eight soul beasts were chopped into pieces in an instant.
The fragments exploded into fly ash.
Lan You seemed to be deaf to the impacts and explosions around her.
She stared blankly at the direction in which Xu Chen disappeared. Her clothes were shattered by the aura of the explosion, but her muscles, bones, skin and flesh were as tough as a magic weapon, and she was not injured at all.
"Junior Sister Lan You, what are you doing?" Xu Wen yelled not far away, and everyone's faces turned pale.
She shuddered and came to her senses. She raised her hand and made a move. The flying sword that fell to the ground flew up again from the rocky hillside, then turned into a stream of light and headed towards the direction where Xu Chen disappeared without looking back. At the same time,
A voice sounded in the ears of a group of classmates:
"I want to act alone, don't follow me!"
"Sister!"
"Junior sister!"
Amidst the calls of a group of Yuqing Temple monks, Lan You disappeared in an instant.
Xu Wen said helplessly: "You continue to follow the elders in front, and don't fall behind. I'll go find Junior Sister Lanyou."
After saying that, Xu Wenye chased Lan You's direction with his sword, but soon his sense of consciousness was blocked by the vast black mist rolling around, completely losing Lan You's aura, so he could only follow the light and shadow of some magic weapons.
The direction of the flickering fight continues to be pursued.
