The mountains in the Black Mountain Territory are continuous and layer upon layer, and many places are covered in mist. It is unknown how many secrets are hidden there.
At this moment, a large army is walking through the ancient forest.
This is the bamboo army led by Liang Yan. There are 100,000 people and countless masters. They have successively attacked Taoyun Pass, Lingshe Pass and Yunya City within half a month. It can be described as a rainbow of momentum.
Calculating the time, five days have passed since they left Yunya City. During these five days, the army has not stopped for a moment, attacking and killing all the way from north to south.
He is also a tough alien race. Even if he knows that there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, he will still sneak attack on the road.
In order to reduce the sacrifice of monk Nanxuan, Liang Yan could only kill all the invading enemies and leave their bodies on the road as a warning to those aliens who were plotting evil intentions.
In fact, Liang Yan didn't like meaningless killings. Everything he did was to protect these Nanxuan soldiers who accompanied him on the expedition. Fortunately, the number of casualties among Nanxuan monks along the way was not many.
So far, only a few thousand of the 100,000-strong army have been killed.
"Li Tiannan?" Liang Yan pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Bring him here."
"yes!"
Huangli took the order and left. Not long after, two escaping lights came speeding close to the ground and were outside the car in a blink of an eye.
"General Li Tiannan, please see the commander-in-chief!" Li Tiannan said respectfully outside the car.
"General Li, there is no need to be polite. Although you are a surrendered general of Beiming, as long as you join our Zhu Army, you are an ally. Liang will treat you equally."
"Thank you, Commander!"
Li Tiannan thanked him but still lowered his head. Instead of relaxing, he showed even more respect.
"I wonder what General Li wants from me?" Liang Yan's voice came from inside the car.
"Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, not far ahead is the end of the forest, and beyond that there is a narrow valley called Hulukou. There is a city gate in it called 'Huluguan'."
"Huluguan?" Liang Yan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
You must know that this place is not far from Yunya City. How could Dan Yangsheng set up two checkpoints at such a close distance? If he had done the layout himself, he would have combined the forces of the two cities into one place. If they were so dispersed, there would be
The risk of being defeated one by one.
Although Liang Yan had never met Dan Yangsheng, he knew that this man was very resourceful and would never make such a stupid mistake.
After thinking about it, he said: "Danyang Sheng did not hesitate to disperse his troops and also set up a city gate at Hulukou. There is a reason, right? You used to be Beiming General, so you must know something. You might as well tell me in detail."
Li Tiannan quickly said: "I was about to tell the commander that the topography of Hulukou is special. It is located between two important cities, Tianmu City in the south and Yunya City in the north. It is an important transportation route for transporting poisonous people. And nearby
In the mountainous area, one of the eight major divine races, the 'Insect Control Tribe', lurks. They often come to harass the Beiming monks who transport poisonous people. Danyang Sheng has no choice but to build a city gate at Hulukou and divide the troops to guard it to ensure transportation.
The path of the poisonous man is clear."
"I see." After hearing Li Tiannan's explanation, Liang Yan nodded slightly, "I wonder who the guard of Huluguan is and how strong he is?"
"The guard of Huluguan is named Zhou Tong. He was originally a casual cultivator in Xiling Mountain. He only has the ability to overcome three difficulties and his magical power is not strong. As for his two lieutenants, they are also mediocre in strength. One of them is named Luo Xin.
, who has the ability to overcome difficult situations and practices Confucian magical powers; the other person, Fei Dao, also has the ability to overcome difficult situations and is good at controlling ghosts."
After hearing this, Liang Yan couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"That's it? The general guarding a city has not even survived the first disaster, and there are no capable people or strangers under his command. This Huluguan is simply the weakest defense, right?"
"This is also helpless."
Li Tiannan smiled awkwardly and said: "After the battle at Huntian Ridge, Beiming is no longer what it used to be. In order to deal with Nanxuan's frontal attack, Dan Yangsheng had to take most of his people to the front line, so he was basically divided.
Otherwise, how could he let a casual cultivator like Zhou Tong, who has no foundation, be the city lord?"
"That makes sense." Liang Yan nodded and said, "Besides, the topography of Huluguan is special and it is located between two major cities. We only need to guard against the harassment of the insect control tribe, and we don't need to worry about the other seven races."
attack, this is probably one of the reasons."
"Commander Mingjian!" Li Tiannan said respectfully.
Liang Yan smiled slightly: "Since the defense of Huluguan is so weak, our army does not need any conspiracy and tricks. It can directly crush the pass, save time, and pass through the Black Mountain Territory as soon as possible."
After saying that, he handed down the order, still appointing Zhao Yi and Fu Hu as the vanguard generals, and also ordered Li Tiannan as the side generals to assist them in attacking the city.
The vast army marched hundreds of miles forward and finally walked out of this ancient forest.
A piece of sand appeared in front of it, surrounded by black forest. Only the middle was empty. It looked like a gourd, and a city gate stood at the mouth of the gourd.
There is a plaque on the tall city gate with the three characters "Huluguan" written on it.
Zhao Yi came riding on a spiritual horse riding on the clouds, and Fuhu came riding on a golden lotus.
Both of them reached the front of the army and looked intently. They saw rolling yellow sand in the distance and strong winds. It was obvious that the power of the formation blocked their spiritual consciousness, making it difficult to see clearly.
"There must be a formation in the yellow sand, but we can't see it clearly. Why don't we take a closer look?"
"I think so too."
Zhao Yi and Fu Hu hit it off immediately, and each of them used their body-protecting spiritual light, then left the army and flew deep into the yellow sand.
After flying forward for more than thirty miles, the surrounding wind suddenly became biting, as if sharp blades were flying around him. Fortunately, he had a protective aura, so he would not be hurt by the strong wind.
The expressions of the two people gradually turned from calm at first to serious.
"Does Fellow Taoist Fuhu know this formation?" Zhao Yi secretly asked via voice transmission.
"weird!"
Venerable Fuhu frowned and stared at the yellow sand in the distance, with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Although I am not a master of formations, I pride myself on being well-read. Based on what I have seen and heard in my life, I actually
There is no other formation similar to this one."
"Well, I also find it strange. I can't see the origin of this formation."
Zhao Yi nodded and was about to say something else when he suddenly heard a muffled sound and saw the strong wind roaring in front of him, and the yellow sand flying all over the sky turned into a huge palm.
This palm was a thousand feet long, covering the sky and the sun, and it was so majestic that it struck towards the location of the two of them!
"not good!"
Both of them were aware of the power of this yellow sand palm, and did not dare to neglect it at all, and each used their magical powers.
But when the dragon roared and the Buddha's voice filled the sky, the gold and silver dragons appeared in mid-air with the Buddha's Dharma, and together they resisted the big hand of yellow sand.
Rumble!
There was a loud noise in the air, and the huge yellow sand palm was punched with a hole by the two people's combined efforts.
However, Zhao Yi and Venerable Fu Hu did not take much advantage. The yellow sand in the air quickly spread, like a python, following Zhao Yi's gold and silver dragons and Venerable Fu Hu's Buddha image.
Both of them felt their whole bodies tense up, and hurriedly used their magical powers and exerted all their magic power, but found that they could not break free no matter what.
"Not good!"
Zhao Yi and Fu Hu looked at each other and immediately understood that this formation was extraordinary. Perhaps the information was wrong, and the Hulukou was not as unbearable as Li Tiannan had said before.
"Withdraw from the formation first and consider the long term!" Zhao Yi said secretly.
Venerable Fuhu nodded, and neither of them hesitated. They each withdrew their magical powers, used all their strength to display the body-protecting spiritual light, and flew back.
At this moment, there was a sudden thunderbolt above the head, followed by lightning and thunder, and colorful rays of light burst out in the air, piercing Zhao Yi and Venerable Fuhu like sharp swords.
The two of them had been prepared for a long time and did not hold anything back at this time. One used the "Flying Dragon True Body" and the other activated the golden light to subdue the demon.
The surging true energy and Buddhist spiritual power swept across all directions, knocking down the various colors of rays of light flying towards them one by one. Among them, Venerable Fuhu raised his hand and threw his rosary beads into the air.
Boom!
Another thunderbolt struck, but it was resisted by the light emitted by the rosary beads and could not fall even a bit.
"Walk!"
Venerable Fuhu's body swayed, and he hurriedly grabbed Zhao Yi, dodged his body, and ran out of the formation!
Zhao Yi was puzzled at first, how could Venerable Fuhu leave in such a hurry with his calm character? But when he took a closer look, he couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Fellow Taoist, you are injured!"
At this time, Venerable Fuhu's face was pale, with a line of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, and he looked extremely miserable.
It turns out that the thunderbolt just now actually injured this eminent Buddhist monk!
Venerable Fuhu had no energy to answer. While he was running for his life, his right thumb was also fiddling rapidly, as if he was turning a string of invisible beads.
At the same time, the Buddhist beads in the sky continued to rotate, and bright golden light burst out, helping the two people resist the surging formation's killing moves.
Suddenly, a white glow appeared without warning!
This ray of light fell on the Buddha beads, and when it brushed down, the beads were swept away without leaving any breath behind.
Without the obstruction of the Buddha beads, the formation's killing moves came from all directions. For a moment, the rays of light flew around, the thunder roared, and the strong wind became solid, blocking all the escape routes of the two!
"My 'Prajna Bead'!"
Venerable Fuhu yelled, his mind was shaken, and finally he couldn't suppress the injuries in his body, he lowered his head and spit out a mouthful of blood.
Zhao Yi was also shocked.
With his profound cultivation, he naturally saw that the magic weapon used by Master Fuhu was extraordinary, but such a powerful magic weapon was so easily brushed away by a white light, without leaving even the slightest trace!
"What exactly is this formation?"
Zhao Yi's heart was beating wildly, and he did not dare to neglect. He activated the "Dragon Holy Qi" to the extreme, and pieces of dragon scales appeared on his body, using the "Flying Dragon True Body" to resist the power of the formation.
He covered the injured Lord Fuhu and ran all the way, but looking around, the wind was roaring, the sky was filled with yellow sand, and the strange power obscured his consciousness, and he could only see clearly a range of about a hundred feet.
After all this chaos, I even lost my direction!
Just when I was anxious, I suddenly heard someone shouting in the strong wind: "General Zhao, Fellow Taoist Fuhu, and Mr. Li are here to pick you up!"
Both of them were overjoyed and hurriedly flew in the direction of the source of the sound.
Within ten miles, I saw a team of a thousand people, led by Li Tiannan, holding various magical weapons and magic weapons, resisting the wind and sand while approaching the formation.
"General Li, thank you for showing us the way. Don't go any further and turn around quickly!" Venerable Fuhu shouted loudly.
Li Tiannan saw the two people's embarrassment from a distance and knew that the situation was not good. He hurriedly ordered his monks to stop and at the same time cast another spell.
I saw a green glow in the air, blowing slowly like a gentle spring breeze. Although it was not violent, it dispersed a lot of the strong wind in the formation.
Zhao Yi and Master Fu Hu seized the opportunity and hurriedly activated the escape light. They dodged again and again, and finally escaped from the formation with the help of Li Tiannan's cover.
After escaping from the formation, both of them felt a sense of exhaustion. Looking back at the long yellow sand at the mouth of the gourd, they no longer looked as calm and calm as before, and their expressions were extremely serious.
At this moment, a Luan chariot flew from behind, followed by a dozen powerful auras, and in an instant it was at the front of the army.
The Luan chariot fell down, Liang Yan quickly walked out, Nanyouyue, Hongyun, Guiwuji, Wang Chonghua and others were behind him.
"What's going on?" Liang Yan asked with concern.
"Zhao is not strong enough and suffered a big loss in the formation, which has disgraced Liang Shuai's reputation." Zhao Yi lowered his head and sighed.
"General Zhao is joking. You are the mainstay of our army, how can you belittle yourself?" Liang Yan patted Zhao Yi on the shoulder and comforted him softly. Then he looked at Venerable Fuhu and asked, "Fellow Taoist Fuhu,
How's your injury?"
"It's okay."
Venerable Fuhu swallowed a pill and his face improved a lot, but he was unwilling to do so and said bitterly: "It's a pity that my string of 'Prajna beads' took hundreds of years to refine, day and night.
Soaked in Buddhism, I didn’t expect it to be folded here today.”
After hearing this, Liang Yan's face became solemn and he asked in a deep voice: "With your two cultivation levels, you both suffered great losses in the formation. This formation should have a lot of history, right?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yi and Venerable Fuhu looked at each other, both a little embarrassed. Finally, Zhao Yi replied: "Commander Qizhen, I am ashamed to say that the two of us were killed by the power of this formation.
I ran away, but in the end I didn’t recognize what the formation was.”
"You don't even know Fellow Taoist Fuhu?"
Liang Yan's face was even more surprised.
You must know that although Zhao Yi has not been practicing for a long time, Venerable Fuhu has been practicing for a full two thousand years. He is experienced and knowledgeable. Although there are many formations in Antarctic Immortal Continent, there are few that he does not recognize.
"Didn't you say that the Hulu Pass guard can only overcome three difficulties? Where did such a powerful formation come from?" Liang Yan said and looked at Li Tiannan.
Cold sweat broke out on Li Tiannan's forehead. He hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Commander Mingjian, Li doesn't dare to hide anything. What he said before is true. It's just that I don't know where this formation came from.
I know."
Liang Yan looked at this man's innocent expression, his mind was racing, and his expression gradually softened.
At this moment, in the yellow sand at Hulukou, someone suddenly laughed and said: "All you thieves of Nanxuan, listen up! I am General Zhou Tong, who dares to fight with me?"
