Chapter five hundred and sixteen heavy casualties
As countless low-level monsters rushed into the defensive phalanx, the Chen family's late-stage Qi training tribe members in the phalanx quickly died one after another at the demon's mouth.
Seeing the tribe members in the defensive formation, Chen Zimu and other foundation-building monks who established a simple defense line were determined to rescue them, but the actual situation did not allow them to do so.
Behind them, there are still many Qi training tribe members who have not entered the mountain protection formation. They must maintain their formation and block the group of monsters in front of them.
After a moment, the defensive formation consisting of forty late Qi training tribe members, and in the end only four people walked behind the temporary defense line established by the foundation-building monks, and all the others were buried at the demon's mouth.
Two of the four surviving people were seriously injured, and the remaining two were also seriously injured.
With the support of the three square tribes in the rear, the four of them were quickly sent to Qingyan Mountain.
Looking at the mess ahead, despite the grief in his heart, the simple defense line established by Chen Zimu and fifteen foundation-building monks, the Golden Moon Ape and the Ghost Zombie, a total of seventeen "people", also retreated immediately.
Chen Zimu and the others slowly retreated, and at the same time began to shrink the defense line in the middle to enhance the defense line's defense.
However, the group of monsters rushing towards them was not a fool. All the second-level monsters scattered around, and dozens of monsters composed of third-level monsters rushed towards them.
At this moment, everyone who formed this line of defense looked at the third-level monsters ahead with a sense of death, ready to face the impact of the third-level monster group.
After a few breaths, Chen Zimu and others fought with the third-level monster rushing in front, and the melee began.
The third-level monster rushing in the front was blocked by Chen Zimu and others, but the third-level monster behind quickly rushed up again.
As for the current situation, if Chen Zichu and the others do not want to be torn apart by the next third-level monster, they must give up their existing defense line and allow the third-level monsters to kill the tribe members who have not yet entered the mountain protection formation.
At this moment, none of the Chen Foundation Establishment Cultivators retreated and all stood in their original position.
Although they knew that doing so would have a great chance of falling here, they still chose to stick to it.
As for why no one retreated, what to say is that they all had the surname Chen, and they were the foundation-building monks of the Qingyan Chen clan.
This is their duty, their responsibility as family deacons, and their passion for repaying the family.
Just as all the foundation-building monks were ready to fall in battle, a sharp black spirit arrow flew out from Qingyan Mountain, and the second group of third-level monsters rushed towards Chen Zimu and others.
Under this arrow, all the third-level monsters turned into ashes. Chen Zimu, who were not too far away from the arrow, were blown away by the aura wave generated by the arrow for a distance.
The third-level monsters in the battle helped them block most of the impact airflow. With the protection Tian Rou put on them, Chen Zimu and others were not injured, but were just a little dizzy.
Compared to the dizziness of Chen Zimu and others, the third-level monster that was facing the impact airflow on the front was injured and fell to the ground, with almost no combat power.
Everyone who came to their senses first killed the third-level monster he had fought with before, and then observed the situation around them.
The arrow not far ahead of them was recognized by the Chen clan who had been to Tianhen Fortress. It was not a third-level demon-killing arrow, but a fourth-level demon-killing arrow that could shoot a fourth-level demon-killing arrow.
As a result, everyone figured it out. If it were just a third-level demon-destroying arrow, it would not have such great power.
The huge lethality of the fourth-level demon-destroying arrow not only killed a large group of monsters around, but also made all the monsters behind stop and dared not rush forward rashly.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Zimu and others quickly closed and retreated together.
The original seventeen "people" are now only thirteen "people" gathered together, and two of them did not come.
At first glance, Chen Zichu saw two corpses not far away. They were two members of the Tianzi clan who had built foundations in Tianhen Fortress before, and their strength was still very weak.
After looking at the monster in front of him who did not dare to move forward, Chen Zichu then burst out as fast as possible, and took the corpses of the two people back under the gaze of the others.
As an elder, Chen Zichu failed to protect the two of them in the battle. Now, when he had the chance, he could not let them corpses go wild and be eaten by monsters.
After putting the bodies of the two people into the storage bag, Chen Zimu and others continued to maintain the formation and retreat, while watching the monsters in the distance.
During this period, the Chen Qi training clan members in the three square formations in the rear had all entered the mountain protection formation, and they were the only ones left.
After a while, the monsters who were deeply shocked by the fourth-level demon-destroying arrow had recovered to their previous state, and then rushed towards Chen Zimu and others in front.
Chen Zimu is still a distance away from the mountain protection formation at this time. If he retreats regardless of the care, he will definitely be caught up by the third-level monster behind him.
There was no way, just as Chen Zimu and others were preparing to continue the strategy of retreating and resisting the monsters.
A wave of arrows flew out from Qingyan Mountain, and at the same time, Chen Zihui's voice sounded in everyone's ears.
"Don't worry about the rear, quickly return to the mountain protection array."
Hearing this sentence, Chen Zimu and others did not hesitate and quickly turned their heads and ran towards Qingyan Mountain behind.
The ghost zombie and the Jinyue Ape naturally understood Chen Zihui's words, followed closely behind Chen Zimu and Chen Zichu, and fled towards Qingyan Mountain.
Dozens of third-level demon-destroying arrows descended from the sky, not only killing a group of monsters in front of them, but also delaying their progress.
After the Demon-Destroying Arrow, another huge wave of magic bombardment flew towards the monsters.
Thunder, fireballs, water arrows, wooden thorns and other attacks fell from the sky and landed near the monsters chasing Chen Zimu and others.
After the spell bombing, not only were there a large number of monster corpses left behind, but there were also many traces of spell bombing. In addition, it also bought enough time for Chen Zimu and others.
When the monster came back to its senses from the spell bombardment, the last Golden Moon Ape who entered the mountain protection formation just stepped into the range of the mountain protection formation with both legs.
Except for Chen Zimo and Chen Changyi, the other living Chen clan members were all on Qingyan Mountain, under the protection of the mountain protection formation.
More than ten miles in front of Qingyan Mountain, Chen Zimo in the air looked at the poisonous centipede below, with no emotion in his eyes.
Although Chen Zimo's previous shot failed to send away the poisonous centipede, he opened two holes in its demon body.
After the poisonous centipede rolls into a ball, the hardest scales are on the outermost layer, and the keys are protected by it. They must break through the layers of protection outside.
The previous purple thunder gun just broke through the two layers of the poisonous centipede's defense and opened two holes near the tail, causing considerable damage to it.
