Yang Zhicheng, as a member of the Yang family and in the late stage of foundation building, naturally became the leader of the defense of Crouching Tiger Mountain.
Wang Daoyuan and others followed Yang Zhicheng to Crouching Tiger Mountain. They saw a solitary peak of Crouching Tiger Mountain. The top of the mountain was shaped like a crouching tiger staring down the mountain. Hence the name of Crouching Tiger Mountain.
The south, west and north sides of this mountain are relatively steep, and only the east side has a gentle slope.
The spiritual veins of Crouching Tiger Mountain are metallic spiritual veins and metallic aura, which are most suitable for attacks.
There is only one first-level high-grade defensive formation on the mountain. This formation is usually enough to prevent harassment by monsters.
At this time, it is not enough to guard against the beast tide.
Yang Yong had already prepared. When everyone set off from Qinglifang City, he handed Yang Zhiyuan several formations.
The formation that Yang Zhicheng brought to Crouching Tiger Mountain is called the Golden Evil Soul Formation.
This is a second-level high-grade attack formation. One person sits at the core of the formation and controls the formation to attack enemies entering the formation. The attack method is a second-level metallic spell.
These metallic spells, after being enhanced by formations, have evil spirits. After hurting the enemy, they will corrode the wound and affect the mind.
The spiritual veins of Crouching Tiger Mountain are only second-order low-grade ones. They are used to activate second-order high-grade formations, which is somewhat insufficient.
However, formations arranged with formation plates all have energy storage functions that can accumulate spiritual power when not in use.
In addition, Yang Zhiyuan also brought hundreds of mid-grade spiritual stones.
Once the spiritual power stored in the array plate is insufficient, it can be replenished with medium-grade spiritual stones.
Yang Zhiyuan took out more than twenty array disks. As long as they are placed in a certain order and equipped with spiritual stones, people who do not understand the formation can easily arrange them.
However, if you want to use the power of spiritual veins, it is difficult. You need to draw out the spiritual energy in the spiritual veins and merge it into the array.
However, among the ten Netherworld Sect foundation-building monks sent by Yang Yong, there are some who know the formation.
At this time, this formation master also came to Crouching Tiger Mountain to help set up the formation.
Connecting the array disk to the spiritual veins is a very troublesome task and takes several days to complete.
However, there is no need to rush.
According to the information that came back, the group of monster beasts on the south bank of Baichuan Lake has just started fighting.
After the winner is decided, it will take at least ten days and a half to march this way, which is plenty of time to set up the formation.
Two days later, three flying warships, one large, two small, came from the northwest and landed on Huangshi Peak.
The captain is more than twenty feet long and seven to eight feet wide.
The little captain is just over ten feet tall and about three feet wide.
Three flying warships landed at Huangshi Peak. Soon after, two small warships left Huangshi Peak directly and flew south.
The remaining large warship stayed at Huangshi Peak for a while, flew to Yuzhu Peak in the northwest, and stayed for a while again.
Finally, we flew to Crouching Tiger Mountain.
I saw fifty peak Qi-training monks and a foundation-building monk stepping out of the warship.
The foundation-building monk raised his hands to Yang Zhicheng and said, "Fellow Daoist Yang, there are also gatherings of beasts in Wanchuanfang City, and even third-level monsters are involved.
We have to rush to support, and we can only leave these fifty qi-training monks to help out."
After that, he ordered the fifty Qi Practitioners to obey Yang Zhiyuan's orders.
Then, he left on a large warship.
Yang Zhiyuan looked at the fifty Qi Practitioners and asked, "What are you good at?"
An old qi-training monk stood up and replied: "To return to my predecessors, we specialize in operating demon-slaying crossbows. Everyone brings a demon-slaying crossbow."
The Demon-Destroying Crossbow is the huge crossbow that made a big splash in the battle of Guiyan Valley.
The use of mid-grade spiritual stones can pose a fatal threat to second-level monsters, so it is perfect for use against herds of beasts.
Yang Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Then you choose the position of the demon-killing crossbow. If it can have a big effect, I will report it to Elder Yang and ask for credit for you."
The old monk waved his hand, and the Qi-training monks dispersed, each looking for a suitable position to place their crossbows.
Finally, twenty were placed due east of Crouching Tiger Mountain, and ten were placed on each of the other three sides.
Three days later, the formation was set up. Yang Zhiyuan tried to manipulate the formation, and there was no problem at all.
The formation masters of Netherworld Sect also returned to Huangshi Peak.
In the next few days, Wang Daoyuan rode Yunyi every day to inspect the situation of the monster beasts, and then reported to Yang Zhicheng.
Ten days later, he rode Yunyi and flew to Cuiyu Peak.
I saw that the monster beast group had crossed the outer boundary of Tianzhan Mountain Range and entered Qingli County.
Moreover, the size of the herd has exceeded a thousand.
He immediately ordered Yunyi to fly towards Crouching Tiger Mountain with all his strength.
Fortunately, this herd was blocked by Baichuan Lake and was forced to form.
Baichuan Lake can only stop terrestrial monsters, but not monster birds.
Therefore, since there are no demonic birds in the beast herd, it is much easier for the foundation-building monks to deal with the beast herd.
Return to Crouching Tiger Mountain and report the situation to Yang Zhicheng.
Half a day passed, and a group of monster beasts appeared more than three hundred miles away.
Standing on a high mountain, everyone could still see the huge herd of beasts clearly.
The monster beast did not divide its forces and rushed directly towards Huangshi Peak.
Half an hour later, the beasts arrived at the foot of Huangshi Peak and surrounded it.
The thick earth array on Huangshi Peak has also been opened, and the entire mountain peak glows with an earthy yellow light.
The distance was too far, and Wang Daoyuan couldn't see clearly how the monks on Huangshi Peak dealt with the monsters.
I only saw the monster charging a few times, but was beaten down every time.
The monster beast group no longer attacked Huangshi Peak, but divided into two small groups, running towards the southwest and northwest respectively.
This small group of monsters running to the northwest is heading towards Crouching Tiger Mountain.
A quarter of an hour later, a small group of monsters arrived at the foot of Crouching Tiger Mountain.
There are more than 200 monsters in this small group.
When we reached the bottom of the mountain, the monsters did not surround the entire mountain.
Instead, it starts from the gentle slope due east of Wohu Mountain and rushes upward directly.
The Golden Fiend Soul Formation on Crouching Tiger Mountain has long been activated, but it does not display a defensive light shield.
Just being in the battle, there is always a feeling of murderous intent.
The area covered by the Jinsha Juehun Formation is not large, and it only covers the top part of the mountain that is a hundred feet high.
The monster quickly rushed halfway up the mountain, only about a mile away from the top of the mountain.
This has already entered the killing range of the Demon Slayer Crossbow, but the Demon Slayer Crossbow did not launch an attack.
Soon, the monster beast entered the coverage area of the Golden Evil Soul Array.
Yang Zhicheng shouted: "Flying Sword."
Nineteen flying swords rushed towards the beasts, and Wang Daoyuan also used the Pingbo Sword.
However, the power of the Pingbo Sword was too weak. He aimed at a second-level low-grade leopard and slashed at it with one sword, but the leopard dodged it.
The Pingbo Sword hit a second-level mid-level wild boar nearby, only cutting off a few of the wild boar's manes.
Several monks nearby also chuckled disdainfully.
It was really embarrassing, so he withdrew his flying sword, waited for the monsters to get closer, and whipped them with the Five Dragon Soul-Chasing Whip.
At this time, without Yang Zhicheng's command, twenty demon-killing crossbows placed on the east side of the mountain fired a salvo, and twenty beams of light penetrated the group of demonic beasts.
Unfortunately, the monsters reacted too quickly, and most of the monsters evaded the attack. Only seven slower-moving monsters were killed, and a dozen monsters were injured.
After the volley is fired, the demon-killing crossbow needs three breaths to replace the medium-grade spiritual stone.
The demonic beast took the opportunity to rush upwards quickly, and the leopard that had dodged the Pingbo Sword rushed the most vigorously.
It relied on its body flexibility to evade several flying sword attacks and rushed to a place less than fifty feet away from the top of the mountain.
Wang Daoyuan had already put away the Pingbo Sword and held the Five Dragon Soul Chasing Whip in his hand.
As soon as the leopard came within fifty feet, he whipped out his whip and pointed it directly at the leopard's head.
The leopard quickly dodged and barely managed to dodge the blow.
Before it even hit the ground, the energy from the second whip had already fallen on it, and the leopard died immediately.
Seeing Wang Daoyuan cleanly kill a monster of the same level, the face of the monk who had just laughed at him changed.
