Chapter 146: The Witch Clan's Counterattack
The young wizard clansmen, for many years they have been stuck in the mountains, and the only enemies they can encounter are other wizard tribes, their combat is single, and their combat ideas have long been solidified.
Such a result is difficult for many wizards to accept, but they have to face the reality, even the Great Chief is mixed at the moment, and such a result has made him feel a huge pressure.
Since Zhu Li returned from the ruins of the Crazy Lion Clan, he had already seen such a result, they had too little knowledge of the spirit masters in the outside world, and their traditional prejudices had caused a huge gap between them and the outside world.
Then the big chief signaled to all the clansmen to disperse, and he personally received Shi Xuan and his party, and in the hall, several elders of the Wu clan no longer had the arrogance they had before, and they no longer dared to underestimate them.
"I really can't imagine that the old man hasn't walked the continent for twenty years, and the outside world has undergone earth-shaking changes, is it really difficult for my people to be vulnerable?" the Great Chief sighed.
"In fact, it's not that wizards are vulnerable, it's that the enemies that your wizard clan has faced over the years are only branches of your witch clan, lacking temporary communication with the mainland, and they don't know anything about the combat skills of our spirit masters, and their lack of actual combat experience has led to their defeat," Han Yunyi said.
"Yes, in fact, every cultivation system has its flaws, and we spirit masters naturally have huge flaws, but we can find and make corresponding improvements in time through continuous learning with other spirit masters, and we can always make up for our own shortcomings after a long time, you may want to go out of the mountains and travel to the outside world, maybe you will have different gains," Shi Xuan explained.
"It's not that we Wu Clan don't want to go out of the mountains, but the current situation is really dangerous for us, and your vast number of spirit masters have an extremely deep rejection of our Wu Clan, and it is difficult for us to enter your world," said the Witch Clan's elder.
"It may have been so at first, but now that the times have changed, every race must adapt to a new environment, and now that all the races in the world have fully awakened, even those ancient races that disappeared ten thousand years ago have returned to the mainland, why don't you dare to give it a try?" Zhao Zhuo asked.
The Great Chief and several elders fell into deep thought, they had also walked out of the mountains when they were young, at that time, the aura on the continent had not yet recovered, and the aura outside was not as strong as in their secret realm, and most of the evil spirits they encountered when they traveled were extremely weak, and they were full of rejection of their Wu clan, which made them also have a lot of prejudice against spirit masters, and for many years they never let the younger generation of disciples go to the mainland.
"Great Chief, the times have changed, maybe this is not our era anymore, the current younger generation of disciples have taken charge of themselves, they should let them hone their skills on the Dao Continent, how to grow without going through the wind and rain, stick to their homeland for the rest of their lives, and sooner or later they will be destroyed", and the far-sighted elder spoke.
After hearing his words, the Great Chief looked at the other elders, who were also hesitant.
"But now, we are threatened by other tribes within our clan, and if all the young disciples go out, won't we face great danger?" the Great Chief worried.
"Actually, there is no need to panic, we have the ancestral inheritance of the sect protection formation, even if they come out, they don't want to cross the thunder pool by half a step, we old things, as long as we stick to our homeland, their young disciples let them go out of the deep mountains and go to the mainland to explore, maybe there will be great achievements in the future?" the elder said again.
"It's fine, but at least after the matter here is dealt with, it's time to teach those bastards of the Witch Gu tribe some lessons, and when it's over, you can let the talented disciples go out and practice," the Great Chief said.
"A few spirit master friends, I have to take care of my clansmen these days, your combat experience may be able to help them?" the Great Chief said to Shi Xuan and the others.
"Of course we would like to learn from each other, and we can learn a lot from your sorcery," Shi Xuan said.
Shi Xuan and they finally used their strong strength to win the respect of these wizard disciples, and many times if you want others to convince you, strength is often the most critical.
These days, Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo often appear in the ring and engage in ultra-high-intensity exchanges with many wizards to help them train their actual combat ability.
They had also gained a lot of friendship among the Wu Clan, and even the few Wu Clan youths who fought with them were full of curiosity about them, and they no longer dared to despise their spirit master as much as before.
Shi Xuan and they can also move around freely among the Wu Clan, Shi Xuan has also been secretly investigating the location of their ancient secret realm, if you want to help them open the secret realm, you must understand the environment here, but Shi Xuan and the others have not found the shadow of the ancient secret realm for many days, there are many forbidden places here that they can't enter, and they need to get the consent of the big chief, and it is indeed difficult for them to open the secret realm.
"I've searched almost all the places I can get in the past few days, but I can't sense the legendary Ancient Secret Realm at all, I guess it must be within their forbidden land, but how can we outsiders get close to it?" Shi Xuan said.
"There is really no chance now, maybe we still have to wait for the opportunity, after winning more trust from them, let them take us into the forbidden place to investigate, and we will take the opportunity to open the secret realm," Han Yunyi said.
"Yes, the conflict between them and the people of the Wu Gu tribe is becoming more and more obvious, if we help, we will definitely gain greater trust, even if we enter the forbidden land, we can get their forgiveness," Zhao Zhuo said.
Shi Xuan and the others decided to help Zhu Li and them deal with those people of the Wu Gu tribe and win their trust and friendship.
A few days later, Zhu Li found them, "A few friends, we have encountered some tricky troubles outside this time, I hope you can help", Zhu Li said to Shi Xuan and the others.
"What's going on?" Han Yunyi asked.
"Our clan has a mine outside, where many precious spiritual materials are produced, and it has been an important base for us for many years, but in the past few days, it has been attacked by people from the Wu Gu tribe, killing and injuring several clansmen, we have led people to encircle and suppress them, but they are strong, we are not their opponents, I hope a few can help us", Zhu Li said.
"Okay, let's go and prepare, and when the time comes, you can call us," Shi Xuan said.
"Thank you, if you lack any spiritual materials at that time, just ask, as long as we have something in our clan, we will satisfy you," Zhu Li said.
Shi Xuan and the others made a little preparation, and then two days later followed Zhu Li and them out of the secret realm, preparing to go to a spirit mine in the distance, where many cherished spirit mines were produced, and many tribes were very greedy there.
"Are all the people who raided you this time from the Witch Gu Tribe?" Han Yunyi asked.
"Yes, since Su He's death, they felt very shameless and dealt with us many times, this time they actually remembered our mine and suddenly launched an attack at night, and several of our guards died tragically under their Gu worms", Zhu Li said angrily.
"People who can't even deal with Brother Zhu must not be under Su He's strength," Zhao Zhuo said.
"Their leading foot Su Qing can also be regarded as the top five masters of their younger generation of Wu clan, and there are many other masters, our number is not as large as theirs, and the overall strength gap is too big to beat them at all", Zhu Li said.
"Where is the mine?" Shi Xuan asked, opening the map.
"Here, it's more than two hundred miles away from our Wu Clan," Zhu Li said, pointing to a large mountain on the map.
"The terrain here is steep, it is very suitable for setting up ambushes, let's make good use of the terrain here, we will definitely be able to hit them hard", Shi Xuan had a good idea.
Shi Xuan and they have walked through a lot of mountains, the environment of the Wu clan here is all continuous 100,000 mountains, the terrain is precipitous, there are many powerful spirit beasts everywhere along the way, even the sky is not safe at all, many strange fierce birds dominate the world, Shi Xuan They dare not fly casually.
Two hundred miles was not a long distance for their spirit master, but they arrived there after a day, and the mine was surrounded by towering mountains, and the places in and out were narrow canyons, which were perfect for setting up ambushes.
When Shi Xuan and the others came to the entrance of the mineral, Shi Xuan carefully observed the terrain here, "Brother Han, maybe you can make good use of it here, and when the time comes, I will bury the arcane ** here, and I will be able to blow up this boulder in one fell swoop, as long as they escape from here, they will definitely die without a corpse", Shi Xuan looked at the narrow canyon here and said.
"Yes, when the time comes, we will block the exits of other places and deliberately let go of this way out, they will inevitably be fooled," Zhao Zhuo said.
"Arcane, what is that?" Zhu Li was confused.
"Then you will understand, we have set up an ambush here in the past two days, and you can just watch the play when the time comes," Shi Xuan said.
"What kind of spiritual ore does your mine produce?" Zhao Zhuo asked.
"They are all spiritual mines for forging weapons, and there are all kinds of first-order Dao and fifth-order mines, which can be said to be the best mine in the surrounding area, and have provided a large number of weapons for our clan over the years," Zhu Li said.
"It's better for me to choose some spirit ore, my spirit armor has been dissolved by the power of shadows, and it's time to reforge a pair," Shi Xuan said.
When Shi Xuan and his party arrived at the mine, many ordinary miners of the Wu Clan were busy in the mine, and Shi Xuan also regretted that there were very few of them left in the arcane **, otherwise if they used the arcane ** to mine, the efficiency would be very high.
Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo, as spirit forging masters, were very interested in some spirit mines, so they went directly to the mine to find high-grade spirit materials.
"Shi Xuan, come and see, this is the Phantom Martial Golden Stone, I didn't expect such a rare ore on the continent, but there are so many here", Zhao Zhuo said.
"Yes, if they talk about these ores and take them to the mainland to exchange for other spirit armor and spirit materials, the strength of their Wu clan will definitely be able to raise a notch," Shi Xuan said.
"Their forging is very rough, how powerful are the weapons made in this way?" Zhao Zhuo said regretfully.
Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo searched everywhere for forging spirit armor, and soon found a lot of them, plus the ones they found from the Earth Temple, it was enough.
"When the time comes, let our Tianhua Sect start a deal with them, and we will exchange our spirit pills and spirit armor for these spirit ores of theirs, this may be a good choice," Shi Xuan said suddenly.
"It's a pity that you don't go to be a businessman, such a good idea, they must be happy, let's go ask Zhu Li, see what he says?" Zhao Zhuo said.
Shi Xuan and the others found Zhu Li, "Brother Zhu, how do you usually deal with these spirit ores?"
"Our forging skills can't be compared to your spirit forging masters, we can only roughly forge some weapons, and these spirit ores are better than ordinary copper and iron," Zhu Li said.
"I suddenly had a good idea, our Tianhua Sect also needs these ores very much, and we can exchange forged spirit armor and weapons for spirit ore, so that you can get excellent spirit armor, and we can get spirit ore, and we can be regarded as mutually beneficial," Shi Xuan said.
"However, we are thousands of miles away from your Tianhua Sect here, how can we say that these ores will be sent to you?" Zhu Li thought of the problem.
"Our sect will find a way, our forging master can forge Na Ling, and with Na Ling, we can carry a large amount of spirit ore, and we can regularly send disciples to collect spirit ore and give you the spirit armor and weapons you need," Shi Xuan said.
"Spirit ore is related to the future of my clan, I need to discuss this matter with my father, as long as he agrees, this matter is easy to say," Zhu Li said.
"Okay, we'll wait for your reply, as long as you establish a good trade relationship with our Tianhua Sect, maybe we can become allies in the future," Shi Xuan said.
"I will tell my father about this and let him think about it carefully," Zhu Li promised.
"The Wu Gu tribe may attack at any time, you had better send your disciples to secretly investigate, once there is a presence of them, we will immediately launch an encirclement and suppression operation," Shi Xuan said.
"Okay, I'll immediately let my people spy on their movements, and I'll tell you as soon as I have any news," Zhu Li said.
Shi Xuan and the others immediately rushed to the place they had seen before, Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo quickly launched the burial of the arcane **, as long as the time was ripe, they could instantly hit the attacking enemy.
After completing the ambush, Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo started the forging of the spirit armor, the two cooperated tacitly, the fourth-order spirit armor forging had already been familiar with the car, as long as the spirit material was enough, there would be no problem for them.
When Zhu Li finished deploying and came back, Shi Xuan had already completed the forging work, and a powerful fourth-order top-grade battle armor was worn on his body, and Zhu Li saw it at a glance.
"I didn't expect that the forging level of the Shi Xuan brothers is so exquisite, it seems that your spirit master's use of these spiritual materials far exceeds that of our Wu clan, our forging level is in front of you, and we can't take it at all, I must discuss with my father and persuade him to start trading with you, which can be regarded as taking what they need, with a powerful battle armor, we will have a greater certainty in the face of other tribes", Zhu Li said.
"In the past few days, since we want to ambush them, you need to remove some patrol personnel and let them hide, once they observe that our defenses are weak, they will inevitably come to raid, how can we just plan and completely eradicate them," Shi Xuan said.
"Okay, I trust you, I'll let them do it, then can we trade you for a powerful arcane **?" Zhu Li asked.
"It's a pity that the mine that made the arcane** has been completely blown up by us, and we won't have any more arcane** in the future, if you want to refine the arcane**, you can only go to other places to find a mine," Shi Xuan said.
"I see, then I won't force it", Zhu Li went to start the deployment, and Shi Xuan and the others in the camp were also preparing to start hunting the raiders of the Witch Gu Tribe.
The mine was still operating as usual, but many of their patrols were hiding, creating an empty garrison for the enemy, and Shi Xuan and the others were also secretly observing the movements of the Wu Gu tribe.
In a camp around the Wu Clan's mine, Su Qing from the Wu Gu tribe led a group of wizards, who learned that the Wu Clan had killed Su and that they had been unhindered in their surrounding activities to launch a surprise attack on them and retaliate.
Later, they thought of this mine, if they could help the Wu Gu tribe to win this mine, they would definitely be even stronger in the future. Su Qing successfully launched several attacks before, killing a lot of Wu clan guardians, but Zhu Li quickly brought people to help, and they retreated, but they still had the intention of giving up the mine.
"Senior Brother Su Qing, the spies we sent out are back, the few people brought by Zhu Li are gone, maybe they have returned, there are only a few wizards guarding the mine, we can launch an attack", a wizard said.
"This time, we are going to completely occupy this mine, without the support of the mine, I think their witch clan can survive for a long time?" said the young witch master named Su Qing.
Su Qing arrived here, and their witch master quickly walked through the mountains, rushing to the Wu Clan's mine overnight to prepare for a surprise attack.
At one of the entrances to the mine, they observed the mine from a distance, only to see two patrolling wizards wandering around the mine, and the rest of the place was empty.
"You rush over with me, kill those two pairs of centaurs quickly, and then kill all their absenteeism," Su Qing said to the other wizards around him.
Around the mine, Zhu Li had already let his people ambush in the dark, just waiting for their arrival.
"They're here, go and inform Shi Xuan that they're ready," Zhu Li said.
Soon, a wizard passed the news of Su Qing's arrival to Shi Xuan and the others.
"It's time for us to do our part and push them into our trap together," Shi Xuan said.
Shi Xuan and the others quickly ran towards the mine, and sure enough, Su Qing led a large number of witch masters to kill the patrol officers, and the men and horses on both sides fought.
At this time, Shi Xuan and the others quickly killed them, and Su Qing and his witch master knew at once, "So you set a trap and waited for us to come?" Su Qing said to the patrol officers.
"It seems a little late to know now?" Shi Xuan said.
"You don't look like wizards, who are you?" Su Qing said as he looked at Shi Xuan and the others.
"Dead people don't need to know so much, you can go on the road", Shi Xuan was not ready to talk to him, he started directly, Han Yunyi and Zhao Zhuo also shot one after another, and everyone fought with each other.
Zhu Li led his other wizards to block other roads, leaving only the intersection of ambushes, Shi Xuan and them launched an encirclement and suppression, and they were not afraid at all with the advantage of numbers.
"Big brother, are they spirit masters, not wizards at all?" someone discovered the spirit magic they cast.
"Damn, how could the Wu Clan have anything to do with the Spirit Master?" Su Qing was puzzled.
"There are a lot of them today, we will suffer if we continue to fight, shall we go first?" someone advised.
Su Qing looked at the menacing Shi Xuan and a group of them, now that Shi Xuan and they are prepared, it is unrealistic for them to complete the occupation task, so they can only prepare to withdraw, but Shi Xuan and they are in hot pursuit.
"Release the Gu worms and stop them", Su Qing asked his people to release many dirty Gu worms to fight.
Shi Xuan and Zhao Zhuo each used a powerful fire spirit technique, and for a while, the flames on the field were monstrous, and the night was illuminated by the flames.
However, the Gu worms released by Su Qing and them successfully stopped Shi Xuan's pursuit, and they prepared to return to the mountain in the same way.
But when they arrived at the intersection, there was a sudden killing sound in front of them, and a sorcerer blocked the way to retreat, "Damn, there is an ambush, let's go another way", Su Qing led his people to quickly break through in other directions.
Zhu Li chased them a little and forced them into the ambush circle set up by Shi Xuan, Shi Xuan and the others quickly cleaned up a large area of Gu worms, "Let's go, let's go directly to the ambush circle and wait for them", Shi Xuan said.
Su Qing took the wizard Gu Master to several intersections and was blocked by the wizard, so he could only choose the last way, "If the last road is also blocked, we will rush out", Su Qing led people to throw Shi Xuan and their trap.
"They're coming, let's get ready to detonate," Shi Xuan said.
"Let's go, get out of here, let's go into the mountains, they can't do anything about us", Su Qing and his group quickly escaped. When they reach the narrowest part of the canyon.
All of a sudden, there was no huge explosion to startle, the huge explosion blew up many boulders on the mountain wall, countless rolling stones fell and fell down, his sorcerers were difficult to dodge in the dark night, many people were stoned to death on the spot, Zhu Li led people to quickly chase and kill in the rear, and saw a terrifying scene, after the huge fire, countless boulders rolled down, and most of Su Qing's people were buried directly.
Su Qing's strength was strong, he flew into the air, and looked at the chaotic scene on the field, and suddenly fell into panic.
"What is this?"
"How do you know that you're scared now?" Shi Xuan and the others flew into the air and had already stared at him.
Su Qing looked at Shi Xuan and the others, "Why are you helping them?"
"Because you can't get used to the dirty methods of your witch tribe, you should be prepared to die before you come here, and now you can die?" Shi Xuan was possessed by flames all over his body, and a giant sword was pointed at him.
Zhao Zhuo and Han Yunyi also drew their weapons and surrounded him from three sides.
Zhu Li led the other wizards to quickly strangle the other surviving wizards and clean up the battlefield.
