Chapter three hundred and thirty fourth enemy attack
The vegetation in the Wucen River area is particularly dense, and the undulating tree crowns are endless and endless. Looking down from a high place, there are several depressions, exposing large areas of brown land.
Those places are mines.
Team leader Xu is mainly responsible for bringing people over. There is another person who actually directs and arranges them in the mine. Logically speaking, it is Elder Yuanying who should assign tasks to them. However, the elder has too many positions to handle, and there is no time to arrange the sect personally.
Here comes the part-time job.
The elder sat down and Chen Rongxing, one of the four divine beasts, was the one who actually met and arranged for them. He also assigned everyone's tasks.
Chen Rongxing is tall, neither fat nor thin, with a handsome face. There is a long scar on the straight bridge of his nose, which is inserted diagonally into the right side of his face. When his thick lips are pursed, there is a vicious look.
momentum.
Team leader Xu handed the person over to him and left. In the slightly crude square, Chen Rongxing stood on the steps and repeated what he had to say every once in a while.
He warned everyone that they must obey orders here. Those who disobey orders will most likely not get the mission reward, and they are not allowed to steal the spirit stones in the mine without permission. Once discovered, they will be dealt with strictly.
Chen Rongxing's lecture was very concise and straight to the point. It was the result of condensing and summarizing a paragraph after repeating it many times.
After the lecture, it was time to arrange their tasks. There were four pits in the mine. Twelve of the eighteen people were assigned to No. 3 and No. 4, the largest ones. The remaining six people were divided in half and went to No. 1 and No. 2.
As a result of the final arrangement, Xiao Lou Tongyan and four other unknown foundation building disciples were in No. 4, and He Zhan and He Zhaoyu plus another Jindan monk Zhao Qing were in No. 3.
At first, He Zhan was interested in switching with the man from No. 4, but Tong Yan told him that the two mines were not far apart and they would meet each other on patrol, so he reluctantly gave up the idea.
Chen Rongxing did not rush to let them take up their duties. He gave them a night's rest and officially took office at the beginning of the morning tomorrow. It would not be until the end of the afternoon that the original disciples would change their posts.
On the second day, someone led them to location 4 to familiarize themselves with the terrain. In about half an hour, they visited all the locations they were patrolling.
Only then did Tong Yan discover that the position they were responsible for was the outermost part of the mine. If there were infiltrators, they would first find and remove them, but they had no chance to see the ore inside.
In fact, if you think about it for a moment, you can understand Chen Rongxing's intention for such an arrangement. They are zero-hour workers and will leave after a month. There is no need for them to participate in important work content. In the eyes of the people at the mine, they are outsiders.
Not enough for them to trust.
However, even if everyone can think of the reasons, some people still can't help but complain.
"We are placed at the outermost position, and all dirty and life-threatening work is left to us outsiders. They clearly treat us as free thugs!"
Someone silently answered: "But we are just thugs, and we are still paid."
Complainer: "..."
The others looked at the sky and the ground and dispersed in a hurry.
The closer you are to the mine, the richer the spiritual energy is. Unfortunately, it is not conducive to cultivation. It may be beneficial to the vegetation and monsters. For monks, this kind of spiritual energy is difficult to sort out and absorb. Even if there is more here, it is meaningless.
Intruders who want to sneak into the mine are not only the people of the God-killing Hall, but also the monsters attracted by the rich spiritual energy.
In the past few days, Tong Yan dealt with some monsters that were attracted by the spiritual energy, but found nothing else. However, he encountered He Zhaoyu many times while wandering around the patrol area.
Tong Yan doesn't have much feelings about this person. He doesn't hate or like him. When he meets him, he can at most say hello.
After another two days, they finally discovered that a few monks had sneaked in. The highest cultivation level did not even have a golden elixir. They were quickly eliminated by a few people working together. Two of their team members were slightly injured in the battle here, and the rest were not injured at all.
Lossless.
The invasion of these people seemed to have sent some kind of signal, and fighting broke out for several days.
Among the six people in the same period, only Tong Yan was not injured even once. Even Xiao Lou, whom she carefully protected, was slightly injured once.
The other four people, the most serious of whom escaped death, almost lost one of his hands and are still recovering from their injuries in their own rooms.
The grace recovery time in the mine is very short, only three days. If it exceeds three days, part of the reward will be deducted.
The exact number of Tong Yan's deductions is not clear, but seeing as the injured disciple immediately came to patrol after three days, I think a lot will be deducted.
On this day, Chen Rongxing came to inspect the perimeter of No. 4. After learning about the situation in the past few days, he pondered for a moment and told them to be more vigilant. According to past practice, the intruders may launch a large-scale attack.
They didn't know whether Chen Rongxing had fought with people from the God-killing Hall too many times over the years, so he was familiar with their routines, or there were other reasons. Sure enough, a few days later, they discovered that many men in black had infiltrated.
Chen Rongxing told them not to confront the men in black head-on, but to retreat in time and join forces with the guards at the rear to use formations to defend against the enemy.
After they retreated into the defensive formation, the men in black quickly retreated. Apparently they were also familiar with the mine's usual methods of responding to enemies.
The outer perimeter has been occupied by men in black, and Chen Rongxing seems to have no intention of taking back the territory, so he rearranges them to garrison in areas where the protective formation is weak.
No. 4 and No. 3 were next to each other and the formations were connected. Tong Yan and the others had more chances to meet He Zhan.
She had been in Wucenxi for more than half a month. Because she had to stand guard during the day, the three of them could only meet in the morning or evening. But I wonder if there were more infiltrators in Pit No. 3. She rarely saw He at night when she had the most free time.
Zhan.
One night she met him. Under the not particularly bright light, He Zhan's face was a little pale and his body seemed unsteady. She asked if he was injured, and she only got the word "slightly injured, no problem."
A few days later, I saw He Zhan again. He looked much better. At the same time, he also brought some news.
It turns out that the mine will produce a large number of high-quality spiritual stones every once in a while, which can be directly used for cultivation and put into the market. After the people from the God-killing Hall understand the pattern, they will always gather on those days to attack.
One night, Tong Yan had finished washing and was about to go to sleep. Suddenly, there was a sharp knock on the door, and the people outside were talking quickly.
"There is a night attack at positions 3 and 4, go quickly to support!" After he finished speaking, he didn't care whether Tong Yan heard it or not, and quickly ran to the next room to inform.
Tong Yan hurriedly dressed up and went out, just in time to meet Xiao Lou who was coming.
"Did they take action?" Xiao Lou frowned and said.
Tong Yan's heart sank slightly, "Go and take a look first. Bring everything you can use. I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle tonight."
When the two arrived at the front line, the escort was fighting fiercely with the men in black. The house usually used for resting and discussing was covered in fire, and the fire illuminated the nearby open space.
Without delay, Tong Yan drew his sword and jumped up to a disciple, taking two men in black from his hands. The sword light flashed in the light of the fire, and in a moment, the two men in black opposite him fell to the ground.
