Chapter 22.30 War between humans and demons. Grave digging in Qingqiu
As the commander-in-chief of the Longxiang Legion, the elite force of the Daliang Dynasty, Princess Youheng was sure from the beginning that there was an unknown demon blocking the road ahead, and she thought of bypassing Jiehengling.
However, an order from the courtiers in the temple required Long Xiang's army to face the demon head-on, so You Heng had no choice but to implement the next strategy.
Although this army of spirit boats is majestic now, even the transformed monster dares to fight with it, but it relies on a massive supply of spirit stones. Once the spirit stones are cut off, the power of the spirit boat will stagnate and the shield will be reduced.
If it is cut off, even the ballistae that can penetrate the mountain will not be able to fire a single shot.
Once the army loses and begins to retreat, an army composed of a large number of low-level monks cannot retreat flexibly compared to high-level monks.
Therefore, the powerful officials in the dynasty restrained the military resources and ordered that they must pass directly through Jiehengling. Even if the general knew that he couldn't do it, he still had to do it.
Princess Youheng stood on the bow of the floating dragon boat, looking at the demonic aura in front of her and frowning. The aura building sand table in front of her was filled with a large number of shadows and dark areas. The scouts had tried their best to send back the information about the densely forested Jiehengling in front of her.
.
Youheng returned to the cabin and began to decide on tactics.
…How can you try to give yourself to others and be loyal to others?…
From Wei Keng's perspective, he saw the fleet forming a defensive formation, stopping, and then making signs of retreat! The huge spiritual sails of the spiritual boats began to deflect.
Wei Keng, who has experienced many battles, immediately saw that there was something abnormal in this.
Wei Keng was especially concerned about the fact that some teleportation arrays were quietly opened above the ship, linking with each other to transmit some weapons and equipment, and he was even more sure that at this time, "rejection is welcomed".
Such simple military tactics are difficult for a "middleman" like Wei Keng to see through at a glance, but they are very effective for uneducated monsters.
When the little monsters lurking in the mountains saw this situation, they suddenly became violent.
When the human fleet pretended to retreat, the group of monsters ambushing the cliff suddenly couldn't hold back their cries and began to pounce on the departing ships. The original ambush turned into a strong attack. Black clouds poured out of the mountains.
At this time, the human ships began to collide with each other, and the various swords, guns, swords and halberds on the spirit boats popped out like puffer fish.
In this regard, Wei Keng, who is experienced in fighting, commented: "A monster. It is still a monster."
The clouds composed of black turbulent monsters rushed towards the fleet battle formation waiting for the golden "reef"! Soon, blood and evil energy appeared on the "spray" of the monster tide!
A large number of vines hung down from mid-air, and densely packed demons swarmed towards the human race's spirit boat warship like a swarm of flies.
The golden spirit clouds around the Lingzhou warship unfolded with the waving of the flag, forming layers of defensive formations, and golden light emerged from the ship's gun window. After these golden lights left the muzzle a hundred feet away, they transformed into dragon shapes, stimulating
Shoot towards the airspace where the demonic mountains are located.
The giant dragon entrenched itself in the sky, causing thunder to rise in the sky. Thunderbolts fell one after another like rain. A large number of little demons emerged, like flies swatted by electric mosquitoes, and smoked and fell down one after another.
The demons in the Core Formation stage were extremely angry when they saw this. They were angry and powerless towards these subordinates who were not intelligent enough. They were as big as icebergs. Not to mention them, even the Nascent Soul Stage could not shake it. And the humans standing in the spiritual light of the ship's hull
Monks, they are like roaring tigers outside the iron bus, unable to do anything.
In order to reduce the losses of the monster soldiers and coordinate the attacks of different types of monsters, these big monsters did not care about being exposed and had to use their spiritual pressure to restrain their subordinates.
At this moment, some high-level monks on the ship unfolded their auras, sprinted with all their strength, and attacked the hilltop where these big demons were located.
…Dense auras and demonic energy erupted between the mountain top and the giant boat.…
In Wei Keng's view, such spirit boat battles in the world of cultivation are similar to gang-hopping battles in the Great Voyage. Of course, both in terms of the size of the personnel and the brilliance of the techniques, it is countless times more exciting than in the Great Voyage with muskets and swords.
The human guardsmen holding golden spears formed a battle formation of ten and used sharp golden energy to assassinate monsters several feet tall. Blood and fallen armor pieces continued to slide from the edge of the ship.
The group of demons besieged them in chaos, finally giving the demon masters in the transformation stage a chance to take action.
In the center of the mountain, a stream of hot demon energy burst out. The blood of these little demons infected by the spiritual light immediately expanded, began to grow further, and their vitality burned. This was similar to the human blood essence burning spell.
The spell that was originally capable of killing hundreds of little demons in a large area at once was now less lethal.
The pill-forming monks must condense it into a precise spear to kill with one strike. This pair of pill-forming mana and spiritual consciousness are consumed dozens of times.
Some knowledgeable alchemy monks on the dragon boat opened their eyes wide and shouted to the group fighting behind them: "Blood-burning technique, this is blood-burning technique."
As the demons became bloodthirsty, the fleet's outer protective shield began to fail. One by one, the demons rushed up with a red light. Even if they could not smash the protective shield of the spirit boat, the bloody blood exploded after the demons died, making the aura's light begin to dim.
On both sides of the ship, countless magic auras were blasting at the suicidal attack demons. The density of the spells was comparable to grape bullets.
However, thousands of little demons were beaten down in one wave, and then waves rushed up around them, and then used their protruding tongues and fangs to eat the protective formation, just like mosquitoes squeezing through the soap bubble film with difficulty.
The first batch of little monsters penetrated this transparent barrier and were all taken away by the sharp golden spell. However, more little monsters got in through the dense protective shield, just like they got in through the small holes in the screen window in summer.
flower mosquito.
The automatic thunder spell of the barrier will soon be unable to kill these little monsters that jump up to help.
Even if the group damage spell can kill all the monsters on the barrier, the barrier will also be destroyed, and the monsters in the pill formation stage can break in.
Princess Youheng's flagship is in the center of the fleet. It belongs to the center of the entire fleet. There are currently no little monsters. They broke into the layers of protection systems and came to the center of the army, but the atmosphere was not at all leisurely.
A messenger in the Foundation Establishment stage brought orders and entered from each fleet teleportation array, bringing a large number of monks with him to support the tight fleets.
At the same time, let those ships whose protective formations are contaminated by too many little demons retreat into the formations and wait a moment.
Within half an hour, despite the dangers, the entire fleet gradually overwhelmed the monsters, but not a single ship fell.
This kind of dispatching ability made the military mages in the Nascent Soul stage admire Princess Youheng's ability to command the army.
Within the dynasty, those who command large armies often do not have high levels of cultivation. Military strategists, like formations, can only exert their power under suitable conditions. The more monks a military strategist commands, the more capable they are of leapfrogging challenges to a certain extent.
There are specialties in the arts, and the generals of the dynasty need to be involved in spells and spells. At the same time, they must also have the charisma to command in front of hundreds of thousands of Qi-training and foundation-building monks.
Most people in the Nascent Soul stage tend to be solitary and do not like such chores. That is to say, they are often disciples of some military families within the dynasty and will be in charge of military affairs during the Dan Formation stage.
...But how can the war go smoothly? The demons have more tricks than this...
Before his eyes, the Lingzhou ship had already slaughtered less than half of the demons.
And the methods of the demons really showed up. First, the dead demons fell to the ground and turned into bones directly in the valley. This speed was the same as the ginseng fruit disappearing into the ground. As the mountain devoured a large amount of flesh and blood, the mountains were
Vines that looked like giant pythons began to grow.
Lingzhou's fleet has been attacking from a high position. At first, only the little demons with wings attacked.
Now after passing the mountain peak, those thick vines began to eject, and then the giant monsters, which were stocky and similar to rhinos and elephants, began to jump onto the human spirit boat.
Two hours later, when the spirit boat passed through a canyon and mountain stream several kilometers wide and stretching for thousands of kilometers.
As the ambush earth line magic circle was activated, a hook thrown out from a huge rusty iron chain as thick as a bus hit the spirit boat, and suddenly pulled the spacecraft down several hundred feet. The huge spirit boat
The boat crashed into the cliff,
The great masters of the Nascent Soul stage in the flying boat looked at the magic circle hidden by the demonic mist in the mountain stream, and couldn't help but frown, because the demonic mist here can obscure the consciousness of the Nascent Soul stage.
Two hours later, when a huge spiritual boat fell and broke open the demonic mist, the Nascent Soul stagers saw the densely packed little demons below.
These little monsters, which were obviously much larger in size, rushed toward the fallen spirit boat like ants rushing toward candy bars.
After a while, the protective formation was broken through, and the miserable howls of humans echoed in the mountain streams.
Princess Youheng's face was solemn but not intolerable, and she was kind but not in charge of the troops. She ordered all the spirit boats to speed up through the mountain stream, and at the same time asked the guardian mages to send the fallen spirit boats on their last journey.
Nascent Soul Qi sighed, took out the talisman from the storage bag, and turned it into a powerful spell at the level of a tactical nuclear bomb and bombarded the mountain stream, destroying the spirit boat and the demon formations that pulled the spirit boat down.
.
In the end, the fleet passed through the Monster Mountains at the cost of losing sixty-seven ships.
...There are many bones. At the bottom of the cliff, those who fell into the ruined spirit boats are found. Some little monsters search for the injured human monks and chew them. The screams are endless. The heads of the defeated are sucked and turned into skeletons, and their helmets are turned into beads.
Hanging on the demon's neck...
On this side of the mountain, the great demon in the middle stage of transformation, Huo Zhi, oh, Ran Yuan, leaned on his feather seat, crossed his legs in yellow stockings, and elegantly put his hand on his cheek. The soul boy looked at the passing
Human Corps.
At this time, the other transformed demons beside her were silent. An upright rhinoceros demon asked: "Your Highness Ranyuan, why did you let the human race go?"
Ran Yuan ignored him: "During this interception, my clan tried our best."
The rhinoceros demon stuttered and wanted to continue talking. At this moment, a wisp of red fire floated out from the colorful clouds above the mountain. The hot temperature made the rhinoceros demon hold his breath and stopped talking.
Humans have factions, and demons are not united. Each has its own agenda.
For example, at the moment, it is confirmed that there are eight Nascent Soul monks in the human race ship, and it is confirmed that this is the main force of the human race, and the monsters here do not want to fight to the death.
...Ran Yuan looked at Lingyun in the distance with doubtful eyes, because she just felt a familiar breath...
A thousand kilometers away, at another pass in the Guanyuan Land, another demon group also began to gather. The demons came from all over the mountains and fields, gathered together, and the black energy on their bodies intertwined with each other, forming a terrifying torrent.
This demon is preparing to fight against another army of the human dynasty, General Zhaowu's Zhennan Army.
The war is imminent, and the monks began to flee Guanyuan. However, the monks can escape. What about the mortals?
Mortals may be like leeks in the eyes of the monks. When the war is over, even though the mortal world is empty, there will always be survivors. The mortals in one place are really wiped out. Some old Qi practitioners from other regions,
Foundation-building monks will bring their concubines here to take care of themselves. There will always be descendants without spiritual roots. After generations of reproduction, this area will eventually be filled.
Only Wei Keng from the earth can understand the despair of these worthless mortals when they are killed, even if there is a little hope, a little hope.
Hide somewhere where the monsters can't see you, or use tunnel buildings that only humans can pass through to counterattack.
Over the years when I was doing business here, I gave many towns a better life and made a lot of details. When the catastrophe broke out, these places were regarded as hide-and-seek places by children and became facilities for children to avoid the ravages of monsters.
.
…On a land where monsters are dancing wildly, some mountain villages are trying to save themselves in a limited way…
In the tunnel, some children were hiding here, looking at the monsters outside with fear.
Suddenly they saw some numbers engraved on a stone tablet, which indicated that life would appear at a certain time, and life would appear in the tunnel.
The children paused for a moment. One of them was brave and decided to escape according to the description in the inscription. He could not wait here. These children looked back at their companions.
Wei Keng: When we were children, everyone was timid. When adults and children were told, "Don't do it," it was difficult to take this step. However, those who took this step had a foundation of confidence.
As a martial artist, Master Wei is very concerned about this ray of "authenticity".
In the tunnel, when the smelly monsters were chasing after them, some of these children ran wildly, while others used ropes to make trip wires, unwilling to sit still and wait for death!
Usually in this escape, he can still take the initiative and kill him. Perhaps it is the wild and unruly in the eyes of Confucianism.
But in Wei Keng's eyes: This is an excellent character. As long as he is taught to understand the truth, know the interests and harms, and understand justice, he will be a chivalrous person!
Cultivation, make everything about yourself true. Instead of sitting on a futon and grinding your nature. If you only believe in foreign words, it will be difficult to keep the truth in your heart.
In each small town, as the teleportation array rotated, batches of children who had just escaped suddenly appeared on the coffin platform. Their bodies were still covered with the soil in the tunnel. Looking at the stone platform as clean as white jade,
They all looked around.
Wei Keng secretly divided the temperament of these children into different grades.
Martial arts practice may not rely on spiritual roots, but character is particularly important.
Because when refining the true nature of Samadhi, one must clearly distinguish one's "subjective will" before "consciousness" and "energy" can be in harmony.
If you don't have your own worldview, are indecisive, and can't distinguish your own opinions, then everything will be ruined.
Of course, Wei Keng has determined his qualifications for martial arts in his heart, but on the surface he treats everyone equally. Because children of this age are still very fragile at all, and any improper guidance, such as flattery and killing, will lead to damage to their character.
In the tunnel, Wei Keng, who was dressed in a purple robe, asked the children: "There is a great calamity in the world and your home has been destroyed. Can you follow me back to the mountain?"
The disciples Wei Keng accepted were all independent in character, so naturally they were not submissive people.
When these children saw the immortals they met, they were pleasantly surprised on the one hand, but on the other hand, after they knelt down, they unconsciously showed that they were "unfinished".
Eighty percent of them ask for revenge from the immortals, while some of them ask to save their friends.
Regarding those who want revenge, Wei Keng scolded: "It is better to rely on yourself than rely on heaven and earth. Don't use your own will to drag irrelevant people into the water."
Regarding saving his comrades, Wei Keng showed a "greedy" face: "I don't have enough skills and need a human elixir. Can you put it into the furnace? If you are willing to put yourself into the furnace, I can consider it."
If these children who ask for rescue hesitate at this time, Wei Keng will also help these teenagers save people, but will take the opportunity to teach them: "If you have something to ask for in the future, don't bet that others are good people! Regardless of whether your thoughts are good or evil,
They may all be taken advantage of by some guys who talk about etiquette and morals but are actually secretly committing male thieves and female prostitutes!"
But if you choose to enter the furnace fearlessly, then Wei Keng will regard it as the true biography, and the focus of the teaching is to "distinguish right from wrong", and when maintaining your own edge, don't waste your passion.
...Wei Keng himself now feels that he likes young heroes very much, and his system is lonely: Maybe I am too dank and long for fire...
Wei Keng returned to Taihe Mountain again, and this time six thousand children appeared at the mountain gate.
Shanmen is as lively as a small town.
Wei Keng came to the observatory and started the star gang adjustment, abandoning many nearby orbits. Instead, he focused on aligning a few orbits with the power of the star gang.
The system yawned: "When we adjust the trajectory, do we give up on ascending to the spirit world this time?" (The system knew that doing so would be costly, but it did not show much excitement. Instead, it used a cynical attitude to support all its natural choices.
)
Wei Keng: "Ascension? The spirit world, the fairy world, and the final quasar energy restricted area are integrated into each other (becoming a true spirit-level existence). But just like them (those children), I am not done with the world. Now, I have to first
Promise I'm telling the truth."
Wei Keng raised his hands and felt the firmness of the "Star Cable". This star-gang governance constituted another cultivation area that the "Star Cable" was currently connecting to. The orbit of that Cultivation Continent had undergone significant changes.
...Wei Keng temporarily postponed his ascension and began to select the location where the star fell...
Wei Keng came to Qingqiu again, checked, and started walking after the final coordinate system.
The scenery of Qingqiu is not beautiful. The entire hill is lush with vegetation, but there are no flowers.
Based on this, Wei Keng took out the token he had taken from Qiu Surong. Oh, it was the strand of hair that he had pulled out of her tail before leaving last time. The vixen himself was not even aware of this hair pulling behavior.
.
Until now, after Wei Keng took out the hair, he caught a monster (foundation stage) little fox monster and asked him to bring it in. The Qingqiu magic array opened, and the fox fairy Qiu Surong in the transformation stage put on the queen phoenix costume and left.
He came out and said with a very cold expression: "Your Excellency, when you come here, you will miss the welcome from afar."
Wei Keng looked at this fox demon and suddenly realized that although this guy still looked like Qiu Surong, his temperament was much colder. But when he saw that the number of tails behind him was six instead of the previous three, he understood that this guy was also killed by an incarnation.
Love, how could this thousand-year-old fox really fall into it?
Wei Keng Xin Yi Shan secretly retorted, "It's all false love." However, when facing the fox demon, she looked sincere and said slowly: "When I followed my friend into the sky, we made an agreement, and he let me
The people are governed, but I am able to respond to people's needs and meet their needs."
The fox demon had a ruthless look on his face: "Hua Ming Tianjun has returned to his throne, what do you want from me?" The deep affection in the past is like a stranger today.
Wei Keng heard Taifu's name for the first time, but he didn't care and continued to nod: "Da Jie, I want to tell you something."
Wei Keng unfolded the large map of Qiongdi and drew a circle on the entire Qiongdi, locking Qingqiu.
Wei Keng also rudely reprimanded in a cold voice: "In this war, you are not allowed to cross this circle!"
Qiu Surong stared at Wei Keng, her originally pretty face showing her canine teeth: "Who do you represent now, Wanjuan Academy? Or..."
Wei Keng raised his palm to her: "I represent humanity."
When Qiu Surong saw Wei Keng reaching out to her in the air, she felt a sudden chill, but then she was shocked, but her whole body was locked. This feeling was just like when it was a little fox demon and fell into the hands of a hunter.
Same as in the trap
An hour later, Wei Keng left. Qiu Surong's eyes flashed with blue hatred and fear.
One of the tails in her skirt was bald. Oh, it was pulled out by someone, and this guy still had a tail to pluck out.
Wei Keng: "When I first learned to draw talisman, I knew that the best talisman pen was made of Tianhu fur. I have always wanted it. Now thank you for making my dream come true. I received the gift as a five-star praise and my children like it very much."
