Chapter 55: Going Deep 3
Of all the battles Yin Zhan fought, the Earth Demon Dao was the most difficult one.
It is not a road, but a vast dark forest, inhabited by countless monsters, not only ferocious, but also highly intelligent. Among them, the Saint-level Earth Demon Beast was the strongest and the largest, as tall as a small hill, and if it escaped, it could destroy an entire city in an instant.
Therefore, in order to prevent casualties, the underworld has been constantly strengthening the enchantment of the Earth Demon Dao since a thousand years ago, and a total of seven roads have been set up from the inside out.
Their task now is to go to the innermost and re-lay the barrier layer by layer.
Since the day of the accident, four of the ten hall masters of the underworld have been sent to the Earth Demon Path, marching in from different directions.
The hall master of the Fallen Soul Hall was in charge of due south, but during an attack, he encountered two saint-level earth demonic beasts, and finally fell in order to cover the withdrawal of his subordinates. At that time, the other three people couldn't pull out, so the Lord of the Underworld transferred nearby troops to rush over, but the monster probably saw that the south side was weak, and kept rushing here, and the team slowly couldn't withstand it, so Yin Zhan rushed over with people.
After listening to the current situation, Tang You asked, "What if you directly set up an enchantment outside?" โ
"If I could, it would have been laid out a long time ago," Yin Zhan said, "The layers of enchantments inside are all laid out according to the magic circle, and after they are completely repaired, there will be many roads protected by the enchantment, making it easier for people to enter and exit." โ
Tang You asked, "What's the use?" โ
Yin Zhan has always liked to solve his doubts, so he patiently told him that some of the herbs and plants in this forest are very precious, and due to the environment, it is difficult to survive elsewhere, so they can only be placed here, and there are several monsters that have very high use value and cannot be destroyed, so the previous principals have set up a formation, otherwise they can use a more iron-blooded method to dispose of this land.
"Finally," Yin Zhan said, "the periphery of the Earth Demon Road is still a relatively popular tourist attraction, which feeds many families around it, and some newcomers also like to come here for camping on their honeymoon, because of the excitement." โ
Tang You has been exposed to many cultures from other worlds these days, and he understands what a honeymoon is, so he sighed.
Yin Zhan smiled and picked his chin: "Do we want to come here in the future?" โ
Tang You slapped his hand away expressionlessly, ignoring him.
Vice General Wang and several backbones looked at these two with bright eyes, their calm and arrogant boss has become smiling since they fell in love, and now they are even teasing people in public! What a human being is unseemly!
Tang You noticed that the gaze behind him turned back, and saw that most of them were looking at Yin Zhan, with a slightly strange look, silently thinking that if they knew that Yin Zhan would be a hooligan in bed to the point of almost shamelessness, I am afraid that their jaws would drop in shockโof course, this kind of thing, they probably will never know.
The team used the fastest speed to reach the Earth Demon Path day and night.
Yin Zhan is coming as the Lord this time, and both the remnants of the Fallen Soul Hall and the newly transferred troops have to obey his orders. He saw a procession coming up from afar, and he took his men with him.
Now there is an emergency barrier on the periphery of the Earth Demon Path, in order to prevent the people inside from escaping from being overwhelmed by the monsters. Yin Zhan watched them open a gap for the team to pass through and asked, "It is said that this can last for a hundred years?" โ
The person who led the team on this side of the Fallen Soul Hall was named Bai Tongxi, who looked very gentle, and was the most valued strategist of the late hall master, and replied when he heard this: "If it is intact." โ
Yin Zhan nodded, understanding what he meant.
This was left over from thousands of years ago, and now after a violent earthquake, no one knows whether the cornerstone of the formation is broken or not, and it is good enough to operate normally.
The armies of the two teams are now camped on the periphery, with several layers of defensive formations set up around them, and another general has just returned from a round of inspection, and when he saw Yin Zhan, he immediately stepped forward and was relieved: "You are finally here." โ
Yin Zhan was friends with him, patted him on the shoulder, took them into the main tent, quickly understood the current situation, and learned that the other sides had not yet broken through to the innermost layer, and sighed.
Bai Tongxi and the generals couldn't help but look at the red-clothed young man beside him.
In fact, they noticed this person at first sight, but they had something to talk about, so they didn't ask much, and then they looked carefully, only to feel that the impact of seeing it up close was greater, and the most important thing was that this young man had the dragon breath of the evil dragon clan on his body, and his identity was obviously very special.
Bai Tongxi was suddenly surprised, he knew that Yin Zhan was very valued by the Lord of the Underworld, and he had set too many brilliant records, if nothing else, Yin Zhan would be their next hall master, so he had known about his team long before Yin Zhan came, and he had never heard of such a number one person.
The general was more familiar with Yin Zhan, and asked directly: "Who is this?" โ
"His name is Le Zhenghong, a new member of my elite squad," Yin Zhan said seriously, "and he is also my lady." โ
Bai Tongxi: "......"
General: "......"
Tang You: "......"
The main tent was silent for a while, and Vice Admiral Wang secretly said You are really calm, and I caught a glimpse of the young man rubbing the hilt of the sword, as if he wanted to beat the general, and the little heart mentioned it, and before he could think of a solution, he only heard the sentry report, saying that the monster was going to rush this way again.
As soon as the words fell, several people suddenly forgot what had just happened and looked at Yin Zhan.
Yin Zhan said, "How to fight in normal times, how to fight today, hold on for a while and then retreat," he tapped at a location on the map, "Retreat this way." โ
Bai Tongxi then understood that he wanted to set up a trap, because the monsters didn't know that their reinforcements were coming, and they happened to be able to catch each other off guard, so he said yes and immediately left with the generals next to him.
Yin Xianyi, the deputy general of the king, picked someone to follow him to ambush, and glanced at Tang You: "Are you going?" โ
Tang You naturally wanted to go, so he hummed without hesitation. Yin Zhan rubbed his head, told him not to be too far away from him, and led him out of the main tent and into the forest.
The Earth Demon Path is very quiet, the trees cover the sky and the sun, like a high mountain, you can't see the top from the ground at all, and each big tree has to be hugged by dozens of people, although it is a forest, but there are mountains and lakes.
Tang You felt spectacular when he came, and when he looked at it carefully, he felt more and more that they were lined with very small, but thinking about the earth demon beast he had met in Kunlun Mountain, he was not surprised, after all, the forest that can accommodate that kind of monster should be so big, so for the earth demon beast, it is the existence of a small mound, and for them it is a hillside.
He was suddenly a little surprised: "I heard that you once caught a king-level earth demonic beast that escaped, there is an enchantment here, how did it escape?" โ
Yin Zhan said: "At that time, the hall master of Guanghe Hall was looking for something, temporarily opened a little enchantment, and then split a space inside, but it was exploited by the earth demon beast hiding in the shadows and crashed into it. โ
Tang You understood, and asked again: "I also heard that a team of people from your team captured it?" โ
Yin Zhan nodded, imagining the picture of his daughter-in-law looking for someone to inquire about his news and deeds in the years after she separated from him, and smiled a little playfully: "If you still want to know anything about me, just ask, don't listen to anyone in the future, I will sue you in person, it is definitely better than what you heard, huh?" โ
Tang You: "......"
Vice General Wang silently followed behind him, secretly saying that they were going to war, don't flirt!
There was basically no suspense in this battle, and everyone easily repelled this wave of monsters. Yin Zhan understood that this was just a temporary fluke, and the next time the monster would definitely be more careful, so it would not be so easy to fight.
It was soon dark, and he simply finished his deployment, told them to rest, and began to advance inward tomorrow. Bai Tongxi and the generals answered, and both left, leaving only Yin Zhan, Tang You and Vice General Wang in the main account for a while.
Vice General Wang almost didn't need to open his mouth, and took the initiative to go out. Tang You reacted: "What about me? โ
"Of course you sleep with me," Yin Zhan saw him take a step back after speaking, smiled and pulled him into his arms and kissed him, "What are you afraid of, there are so many people around, I won't eat you." โ
Tang You stared at him suspiciously.
Yin Zhan asked, "Then you want to sleep in a tent with others?" โ
Tang You was silent for a moment.
Yin Zhan then hugged his daughter-in-law with a victorious smile, and turned around and went to the couch. Tang You didn't believe him at first, but after observing for a while, he found that this person was really honest, and he only occasionally ate some tofu, and he was down-to-earth. Seeing that he was slowly forming a habit, Yin Zhan began to take the initiative to shrink into his arms, and rubbed it with a smile.
The battle of the Earth Demon Dao, as Yin Zhan had predicted in advance, was not easy to fight.
The formation base is in the forest, and they have to put the dragon stones they brought into it one by one, but the monsters are not stupid, so they will naturally guard them heavily to prevent them from succeeding. To complete the task, either come up with a good idea to touch it, or rely on manpower to force the monsters to take care of the people who set up the formation, but the saint-level earth demonic beasts are too terrifying, and they can kill a large number of people with one palm, and if they are really strong, they will definitely suffer heavy losses.
As for touching in...... The monsters' sense of smell is very sensitive, even if they can find a good way to cover their breath, the moment they put down the dragon stone, they will still be discovered, the same is death, and there is also a problem that the further they go, the more difficult it is to set up camp, and before they can set up their tents, a large number of monsters will rush over and surround them and swallow them.
In the past few months, the distance they advanced was less than one-tenth of the whole journey, which made even Yin Zhan a little irritable.
Tang You glanced at him, walked over to him and stood.
Yin Zhan hugged him and teased, and his mood quickly improved.
Tang You calmed his breath: "How long will we fight?" โ
"At this rate, a few years," Yin Zhan said, "but we have to speed up, there must be some monsters going to hit the outer layer of the emergency barrier now, in case the barrier can't hold on, then it will be in trouble." โ
Tang You was puzzled: "Why do you put the formation base inside?" โ
"Because the barrier created in this way is relatively strong," Yin Zhan said, "and no one could have imagined that this catastrophe would happen in the future at that time." โ
Tang You saw him staring at the map, so he didn't speak again. Yin Zhan was still holding him, holding his hand and playing slowly. Tang You looked at him for a while and asked, "Are the monsters united?" If we let the monsters guarding the base fight on their own, can we take advantage of the chaos to get in? โ
"They are highly hierarchical, respected by the strong, and the saint-level earth demon beasts will definitely listen to what they say, unless they ......" Yin Zhan groaned and knocked on the table, "unless they lose their minds." โ
Tang You asked, "Is there any way to make them chaotic?" โ
Yin Zhan said: "Drugged." โ
Tang You subconsciously wanted to ask if there was such a medicine, but after thinking about it, even if he took the medicine, he had to touch it, so he was silent, and then he felt a softness on his lips, and then a familiar warmth rolled in and gently wrapped around his tongue, took a breath, and took the initiative to raise his head.
Yin Zhan only kissed a few times before letting go, motioning for him to go to sleep first, continued to study the map for a while, and went out for a walk.
Bai Tongxi happened to be outside, and when he saw him staring up at the big tree, he passed: "General." โ
Yin Zhan snorted: "In the Earth Demon Dao, the level of the demon bird doesn't seem to be very high?" โ
Bai Tongxi understood a little: "You want to bypass from above?" But it's too dangerous. โ
The trees in the Earth Demon Path are too high, and doing so is tantamount to jumping between the mountains, and if you are unfortunate enough to be discovered by the Demon Bird, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"You don't have to go up all of them, just a few," Yin Zhan said, "usually pay attention to concealment, the speed is basically the same as the team below, and then accelerate when you are about to get close to the center, and give them some medicine from above." โ
Bai Tong was stunned: "Drugged? โ
Yin Zhan was very proud: "My lady came up with the idea." โ
Bai Tongxi: "......"
If you don't show affection for a day, you will be uncomfortable, right?
Yin Zhan ignored his look, patted him on the shoulder and told him that he would discuss the specific details tomorrow, went back and hugged his daughter-in-law to sleep, and the next morning he called them for a meeting and finalized the plan.
The large army still had to advance from below, walking more cautiously, and as the distance shortened, Yin Zhan simply gave up the camp, and told them to blast a hole directly in the tree, and sprinkle a circle of powder to eliminate the breath outside, so that they advanced a little more.
Halfway through, they had encountered a saint-level earth demonic beast, Yin Zhan didn't want to be tough, so he first set up a trap for the other party, and then took the elite team to cut it off, which made Bai Tongxi and the others dumbfounded, thinking that the legendary team really lived up to its reputation, and their morale soared for a while.
In the battle of the Earth Demon Dao, Yin Zhan fought for a year and a half.
In the end, the battle between the demons was very fierce, the earth kept shaking, and everyone was shocked for several seconds when they came out of the bunker, and then followed Yin Zhan to harvest the heads and put down the dragon stone.
In the past year and a half, Tang You and Yin Zhan have been almost inseparable.
Probably because the relationship was determined, as long as he was by Yin Zhan's side, Tang You felt down-to-earth and his mood would be very happy. Yin Zhan took the opportunity to continue to educate his daughter-in-law, so that he could slowly feel the sophistication of human feelings, and no longer use force to solve problems at every turn. Tang You listened to his persuasion very much, and his breath became more and more peaceful.
Vice General Wang and the others could clearly feel the changes in the young man, and secretly said that the power of love is really great, by the way...... It's so blinding for these two to be together.
Yin Zhan ignored them, and after completing the task, he left the Earth Demon Dao with the team, preparing to enjoy the long-lost vacation, but as soon as he went out, he received a new order, because the Lord of the Guanghe Hall was not going well, and the Lord of the Meditation wanted them to go over to help, he was immediately unhappy, and whispered: "It's those two goods again." โ
Tang You glanced at him: "What's wrong?" โ
Yin Zhan explained the matter again, and rushed to the west with the team to meet the master of the Guanghe Palace. When they arrived, those people were encountering a king-level earth demonic beast, and it seemed that they had suffered an impact, and they were all wounded.
The master of the Guanghe Hall carried a big knife in his hand, took the initiative to meet the front, and blocked most of the attacks of the earth demon beasts, at this time when he saw Yin Zhan, he was simply in tears, and before he could speak, he saw a gorgeous red shadow falling from the sky, and he pulled out his sword and โกโก with the king-level earth demons. Yin Zhan followed closely behind, cooperating with him tacitly, and in the blink of an eye, he solved the already injured Earth Demon Beast.
Guanghe Hall of Others: "......"
Tang You put away his sword and stood still, then looked at them.
Guanghe Diandian asserted that he opened his mouth: "...... Thank you Shaoxia. โ
Tang You smiled and asked, "What about the thank you?" โ
The hall master of Guanghe Hall immediately looked at Yin Zhan: "...... Which of your subordinates? โ
Yin Zhan said: "My mother." โ
The lord of the Guanghe Hall said, "...... Just kidding! โ
Yin Zhan said: "Of course not. โ
The hall master of Guanghe Hall looked at someone again, and felt that it was quite beautiful, especially so powerful, and he was immediately envious and jealous. Yin Zhan had become friends with him since he personally dealt with the Earth Demon Beast incident he had made a few years ago, and knew that he was very good, so he motioned for him to get down to business first. The lord of the Guanghe Hall then returned to his senses, took them back to the camp, and after entering the main tent, he vomited bitterness.
"Brother, this is not human work, as long as we get closer, they will chase us and bite, you look at the scratch for me!" He rolled up his sleeves and showed them one after another cat's claw-like wounds, "How ferocious!" โ
Yin Zhan: "......"
Tang You: "......"
The hall master of Guanghe Hall threw the medicine to the deputy general, motioned for him to take the medicine, and said: "Now that you are here, I finally see hope, and the position of this main general will be given to you." โ
Yin Zhan waved his hand: "I'm just here to help, nothing else." โ
"Don't, we've been friends for so many years," the hall master of Guanghe Hall said and looked at the beauty next to him, "Little lady, you persuade you to be a father-in-law, if he doesn't do well in this battle, he will be promoted to the hall master, don't you want to be the hall master's wife?" Very majestic! โ
"Really?" Tang You asked curiously, "Can this battle be fought at the level of the hall master?" โ
"That's right," said the hall master of Guanghe Palace, "This shows that your Xianggong already has the strength to be the hall master!" โ
Tang You said: "It means that the hall masters are very, very powerful, and things like this can be solved?" โ
The hall master of Guanghe Hall immediately raised his head proudly: "Yes, our hall master is very strong!" โ
Tang You looked at the people around him: "I heard it, he can actually fight, let's go home." โ
The Lord of the Guanghe Palace: "=Mouth="
Everyone: ".................."
Yin Zhan laughed and pulled his daughter-in-law out.
The hall master of Guanghe Hall hurriedly returned to his senses: "Go back to ...... Come back! โ
The two turned a deaf ear and continued walking.
The hall master of Guanghe Hall said: "You can only help!" โ
Yin Zhan reluctantly stopped, and turned to discuss the current situation with him. The daughter-in-law that Yin Zhan was looking for by the lord of Guanghe Hall secretly said that it was as difficult to deal with as him, and when he glanced at someone, he was a little resentful.
Tang You said: "I remember that the book said that it is better to ask people for help with a good attitude, and it is better to smile. โ
"......" The hall master of Guanghe Hall forced out a smile.
Tang Yu nodded reservedly and satisfied.
The Lord of the Guanghe Palace: "......"
Dead boy!
Yin Zhan had previous experience, and the monster's movements began to be limited after the dragon stone in the south was put down, so it was relatively easy to fight, and the initial distance was directly pushed over.
Guanghedian and the others were stunned when they saw the speed of their elite squad slaughtering monsters, and then their morale was great, and they also joined the battle with weapons. As the days passed, they gradually developed the same consensus as Vice General Wang: Yin Zhan in black and Le Zhenghong in red, as long as one is there, the other will definitely be nearby, and they will basically not be separated.
The two of them are strong, good-looking, and have good personalities, they are simply a match made in heaven, even the master of the Guanghe Palace, who has itchy teeth for someone, thinks they are a good match - this is even more certain after being rectified by someone every time.
He looked at Yin Zhan: "Take care of your daughter-in-law, how can you eavesdrop on others!" โ
Tang You stood on the tree above his head, looking innocent: "I didn't." โ
The hall master of Guanghe Hall said: "Obviously! โ
Tang You said: "Then tell me what I heard?" โ
The hall master of Guanghe Hall said: "You must have heard me say that Bai Tongxi is good-looking and can be a daughter-in-law......" He suddenly realized the upper set and immediately shut up.
Tang You squatted down against the tree and laughed so badly: "Hahahaha......"
The hall master of Guanghe Hall was furious: "Yin Zhan! โ
"Well, I'll teach him a good lesson," Yin Zhan stepped forward and stretched out his arms, "Come, come down." โ
Tang You jumped into his arms with a smile, was hugged by Yin Zhan, turned around and left, leaving the hall master of Guanghe Hall and gritting his teeth in place.
The mission in the west took less than a year to complete, and they could finally return to the city, Le Zhengxiao had been looking forward to his younger brother for a long time, so he ran over to take a look, and when he saw that he was greeting himself with a smile, he couldn't help but be shocked, staring at him left and right.
Tang You asked, "What?" โ
"It's fine." Le Zhengxiao said, looked at it for a while, and was completely sure that his younger brother had finally passed the awakening period.
