Chapter 364, Rescue and Conspiracy
After modifying the formation, Li Xiao began to guide his subordinates in cultivation. In order to be able to quickly cultivate these soldiers, Li Xiao spent almost all of his time instructing them in cultivation and some combat skills except for evening cultivation.
For Li Xiao's selfless teaching, those soldiers also respected him more and more, and their strength also improved by leaps and bounds.
It's just that theory and self-cultivation alone still can't work, and you need opponents of the same level to test the effect. Originally, Li Xiao wanted to find other centurions, wanting his soldiers to have a discussion with their soldiers. However, another opportunity was offered to him.
As a soldier defending a city, in addition to defending the city, it is also necessary to maintain the stability of the surrounding jurisdiction. Just as Li Xiao was about to go to the other centurions to discuss the matter, a messenger flew in front of him. When I opened it, there was a command inside. After reading the order, Li Xiao frowned slightly. Then he sneered and turned to gather everyone, and then left the school field in a big way, flying towards the east of the city.
Nightshade is a small and medium-sized city with a small population, named for its proximity to the Nightshade Mountains. There is only one mountain range with dense vegetation and abundant products, especially the orchid fungus is a major specialty of this mountain range. As one of the main materials of the Magic Pill, the demand for Orchid is always in short supply. Most of the villagers around Yeqi Mountain, who rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the mountains to collect orchid mushrooms as their main source of livelihood and even make a fortune.
With the large number of picking, there are fewer and fewer orchids in the periphery, so most people have to venture into the mountains to pick. Although most of the demonic beasts in the Nightshade Mountain Range are low-level demonic beasts, there are very few high-level ones even in the deep mountains. So even if someone goes deeper, there will only be one or two times when they can't come back.
But I don't know when it started, and anyone who entered the night mountain a little deeper never came back. This incident also attracted the attention of Yeqi City, and three teams of men and horses were sent into the depths of Yeqi Mountain, but the result was also no news. At this moment, the city lord of Yeqi City couldn't sit still, and even sent his own sacrifice, a demon monk in the middle of the Yuan Infant to investigate. As a result, not long after entering, the contractual connection between him and the city lord was directly broken, and it can basically be concluded that he is dead.
At this time, the city lord was anxious, and finally knew the seriousness of the situation, so he immediately sent a message to Nanyu City in the distance asking for rescue, explaining the situation. And Li Xiao received an order to come and investigate the matter. When Li Xiao arrived at Night Castle, it was already the third day.
When he saw the Lord of Yeqi City and saw Li Xiao and the others coming, he obviously showed a trace of hesitation. At this moment, he even wondered if the people in Nanyu City were deliberately perfunctory. Obviously, he has already said it, and even the sacrifice of his middle infancy has not been heard of. If it was done by a demonic beast, the strength would have reached at least level ten or above, and it was even likely to be an eleventh level demonic beast. Otherwise, his sacrifice would not have even been able to escape. But the people sent by Nanyu City didn't even have a mid-Yuan infant stage, except for the one who took the lead, all the Jindan stage monks.
But he didn't dare to say anything, after all, the other party still came to help. It's just that he still cared politely, and explained the situation to Li Xiao in detail by the way. Li Xiao didn't say anything about this, just let the other party lead the way.
When he arrived outside the Yeqi Mountain Range, Li Xiao asked the other party to go back first and wait for news. If Li Xiao hasn't come back after five days, let him inform Nanyu City. After speaking, he directly led people into Yeqi Mountain.
Not long after entering Yeqi Mountain, the captain who thought that his surname Zuo couldn't help but lean over and ask: "Head, is there any reason behind this attendance? According to the usual practice, how can such a thing not be the turn of our newly formed hundred-person team? If I hadn't heard the Yeqi City Lord say something, I wouldn't have thought so." It's clear that it was unwise to send us here. If we didn't form a battle formation, even a late Yuan Infant monk would pay a lot of price, not to mention that this opponent was likely to be more than this strength. ”
Li Xiao didn't answer him directly, but turned his head to look at the people behind him and asked, "Do you all think so?"
Several other captains who had also listened to the city lord's story nodded their heads.
Seeing this, Li Xiao smiled and said, "All of you can easily see the problem in this, which is enough to show how obvious the revenge calculation is this time." You guessed it right, this time we were cheated. But the other party's target is me, and you can be considered to be affected by me. But don't worry, there is really an irresistible situation, and I will not let you hurt you after I come to the pad. ”
Hearing Li Xiao say this, several squad leaders immediately reacted, and the squad leader surnamed Zuo immediately said: "Head, don't say that, we know that you offended Yuan Cheng, but I didn't expect the other party to actually reach out to the military." But no matter what happens, our brother will not leave you alone. The other squad leaders all nodded.
Li Xiao looked at them with a smile, and his heart was warm. He didn't say anything more, turned around and continued to fly forward.
As soon as he entered the Yeqi Mountain Range, Li Xiao scattered his divine consciousness in all directions, and with his current divine consciousness in the middle stage of the god transformation realm, a radius of thirty miles was within the scope of his divine consciousness. At first, no mountain anomalies were found around. However, after they had been flying forward for more than an hour, Li Xiao noticed something strange in front of him.
Soon everyone came to the place where Li Xiao found something unusual, and right in front of them, a faint cloud shrouded a large area in front of them. The enveloping range far exceeded the range of Li Xiao's divine sense, and the further inside, the higher the concentration of the fog. In this cloud and mist, even Li Xiao's divine sense was more or less disturbed, not to mention the others.
Li Xiao didn't rush in, but asked everyone to recover outside the fog first, and then go in when the state was adjusted to the best. After the time of a stick of incense, Li Xiao gathered everyone again, maintained the formation, and slowed down. When they felt the unusualness of this fog, everyone had already cheered up the twelve spirits, even if Li Xiao didn't remind them, they would be cautious.
As we moved forward, the fog became more and more dense, and the disturbance of the divine consciousness became more and more large. After only half an hour of walking, those weakest Jindan early stage monks were surprised to find that their divine consciousness could barely leave their bodies at this time. In other words, they can no longer perceive outside things except to see with their eyes and hear with their ears. This made them feel faintly uneasy, especially now that they could only see a distance of thirty feet with their eyesight.
By the time another half an hour had passed, even the divine consciousness of those squad leaders had lost their effect, and the visibility had been shortened to twenty zhang at this time. At this distance, if they are raided, there is hardly much reaction time.
At this moment, Li Xiao suddenly asked everyone to quickly start the battle formation. Hearing Li Xiao's roar, the hundred monks who were ready at all times immediately pinched their hands, and in just a few breaths, the battle array was activated.
As soon as the protective shield of their formation was opened, two powerful attacks hit the protective shield directly, and there was a violent shaking on the protective shield immediately. Feeling the power of these two attacks, the faces of the monks changed in a flash. Hurry up and summon the shield and ten broadswords.
It turned out that just now, in Li Xiao's divine sense, there were suddenly two very faint strange aura. Weak does not mean that the owner of the breath is weak, but that it is well hidden. If Li Xiao's divine consciousness hadn't reached the middle stage of god transformation, he wouldn't be able to feel it here at all. And even with Li Xiao's current divine sense, if they didn't move just now, Li Xiao still didn't feel it, which shows how deeply the other party is hiding.
Seeing that the blow he was bound to hit did not get the desired effect, the owner of the two breaths was obviously a little surprised. However, they had no intention of stopping, and changed their angles and attacked again, and they attacked in succession wave after wave.
The shield was constantly attacked by these attacks, but the monks in the battle array couldn't feel where the other party was, so they didn't know how to attack. Fortunately, Li Xiao's constant reminders allowed them to barely block some of the attacks with their shields.
But this is not the way to go. Judging from the feedback from the protective shield and shield, there are obviously two eleventh-level demonic beasts or demon beasts on the opposite side. Although this battle array claimed to be able to withstand the attacks of the early stage cultivators, on the opposite side were two demonic beasts equivalent to the early stage monks of the gods, and they couldn't see each other at all, and their divine senses couldn't play a role. If you continue to be beaten passively like this, you won't be able to last long at all. And once the shield is broken, they can only be slaughtered.
Li Xiao had already discovered this, so he was heartbroken, and directly ordered them to block one direction with a shield, let the other direction attack on the shield, and then attack the other direction with all his might. I saw that ten big knives suddenly slashed in a certain direction in unison.
The ten swords shrouded the ten zhang range in the direction of the split, and at the same time barely split the clouds and mist in the place where they passed. Soon, a white figure with a length of two zhang appeared in front of the direction of the sword qi.
The white figure who had just launched an attack, and the moving white figure obviously did not expect the other party to catch him and launch an attack. And at the same time, he blocked all his directions, so that he couldn't dodge at all. In desperation, he could only choose to swing a wind blade to resist one of the sword qis, and then rushed through that gap.
