Nine days later, 8,000 forbidden troops rushed to the south gate of Zhenbei Pass, but did not enter the city, but were only stationed outside the south gate.

Even the defenders of the city didn't know what was going on with this team, and some even thought that they had come to change their guards, and they were secretly happy.

Zhenbei Pass has been closed for several days in a row, and all caravans heading north are not allowed to leave the pass, while those coming from the south can enter the pass.

This was done to prevent the caravan from leaking the movements of the army, but fortunately, there were very few caravans from Yi to Zhou, only three or two per month.

Yi Jiuxiao was in the camp tent outside the south gate at this time, the forbidden army did not bring baggage, and the camp tent was provided by the defenders in the city.

There were eight formation leaders seated in the camp tent, You Yu and Wei Ting were among them, and only Yi Jiuxiao was standing with his hands behind his back.

First of all, Yi Jiuxiao and the eight commanders informed the topography of Guancheng and the situation of the defenders.

After saying this, all the leaders fell into deep thought and stopped talking.

This is the effect that Yi Jiuxiao wants, first tell everyone about the difficulties, and then put them to death and then live.

"Guys, is there any way to siege the city, let's sum it up. Yi Jiuxiao looked at the several commanders and asked.

A few people still kept their heads shut and didn't speak, needless to say, the idea of storming was something that everyone knew.

They couldn't think of other ideas for a while, and the experience of the few people in the audience was not as rich as Yunfei's.

"If you use a brute force, your subordinates, including you, may all die, do you think of it?"

Yi Jiuxiao turned around and carried the eight commanders on his back, giving them some time to think.

Several people glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "Lord Yi, we are willing to die for Yi Guo." ”

"Very well, but there is a way to immortalize, and you are willing to try it. ”

Yi Jiuxiao suddenly turned around and looked at the eight commanders in the camp.

A wave of joy was faintly revealed on the faces of the eight people, who would not want to die without dying?

Although they are not afraid of death, it is not that they do not want to live well. They also have families and have their own practices.

Then Yi Jiuxiao told everyone about the tactics of crossing the mountains on foot, and everyone had no objections, although they were not used to this way of fighting.

If you don't, you'll die, and if you do, you'll die, so why not try?

The forbidden army is different from Yunfei's generals, Yi Jiuxiao has a high prestige in the forbidden army.

Many of their lives were saved by Yi Jiuxiao, and Yi Jiuxiao also led them to create miracles several times.

"I only want to take four formations to this operation, the mountain path, there are too many people but it is inconvenient, so the team needs to be mixed, and select the high repair to form four formations. ”

This is what Yi Jiuxiao has thought about in the past few days, it is useless when there are too many people, it is just a burden.

A sergeant in the late stage of qi refining can fight four or five in the early stage of qi refining, and he can fight two or three in the middle stage of qi refining.

If he said that he was mixed as soon as he entered the camp, several leaders would definitely have ideas in their hearts, who wouldn't want to bring better soldiers?

But now, everyone is not even afraid of death, and they no longer account for these little things, and people's psychology is sometimes very wonderful.

The mixing proceeded quickly, and it didn't take half a day to finish, and the reorganized sergeant cultivation was all at the seventh level of qi refining and above.

Later, Yi Jiuxiao selected four orthodox leaders and four deputy leaders to lead the team, and You Yu and Wei Ting were selected among them.

The rest of the time was to replenish supplies, distribute elixir to the 4,000 sergeants, as well as dry food and water.

Sergeants in the late stage of Qi refining will eat less food, but they still have to eat.

The food and pills were all provided by Yunfei, and the reserves in the border gate were sufficient, so there was no problem in providing these provisions.

In addition to this, Yi Jiuxiao also asked Yunfei to provide each sergeant with a rope and a firewood knife.

Although these two things are ordinary, they are essential for climbing the mountains.

But these two things are not available in Zhenbeiguan, and a few days ago, Yun Fei secretly sent someone to send someone to a mortal residence a hundred miles away to buy them.

The soldiers were quick and ready to set off immediately after stopping, and the 4,000 forbidden troops sank into the mountains west of Zhenbei Pass on foot.

Each had a long rope tied around their waist and a hatchet in their hands.

Climb over mountains and mountains together, chop thorns and stabs, even the commander is no exception.

The various formations took turns to open the way and meandered forward.

Yi Jiuxiao flew in the air for a while, observing the terrain, and then fell, discussing the way forward with the four commanders.

There are no roads at all along the way, and the mountains are full of dense forests and thorns, and cliffs and streams block the way.

Natural risk, really natural risk!

Yi Jiuxiao had never been to Shu Road in his previous life, and it was rumored that the difficulty of Shu Road was difficult to go to the blue sky, but this road definitely surpassed Shu Road.

Fortunately, these 4,000 people are all carefully selected forbidden soldiers, and they are all monks in the late stage of Qi refining.

In other words, it is an army of ordinary monks, and some dangerous places are really difficult to move an inch.

After five or six hours of tossing and turning, the team had traveled ten miles, and all the sergeants were exhausted.

Yi Jiuxiao announced that he would set up camp, and everyone meditated and breathed to recover their vitality.

The straight-line distance between the two gates was fifty miles, but the distance increased more than twice as much as they crossed the mountains.

At the current rate of travel, it will take at least ten days to arrive.

Yi Jiuxiao stood alone on the edge of a cliff five miles away from the camp, full of thoughts.

Thinking that it would take such a long time, I was a little anxious, and I wished that everyone would fly over this lofty mountain with wings on their backs.

At that moment, he sensed something rushing towards him from above.

When he looked up, he saw a big bird, only a hundred feet away from him.

This bird is very large, with its wings spread out to five feet, and its shape looks like a harrier eagle.

With such a big harrier eagle, there is no doubt that it is a demon beast.

It's a good time! In a flash, the spear through the mountain reached Yi Jiuxiao's hand.

By this time it was too close for him to shoot with his bow and arrows.

In an instant, the big bird reached the top of Yi Jiuxiao's head, and opened its five-foot-long claws to grab Yi Jiuxiao.

Yi Jiuxiao couldn't be caught by it, and his body flew out more than ten zhang sideways in a flash, just avoiding the catch of the big bird.

The big bird seemed to be stunned, in its senses, this prey was obviously a mortal breath, just like those mortals who went into the mountains to collect medicine and treasure hunting, how could it suddenly fly.

But the big bird didn't want to give up, a wing swooped towards Yi Jiuxiao again, how could the prey in hand give up.

The big bird moves, and Yi Jiuxiao is also moving. His figure suddenly rose twenty feet tall on the spot, and it could fall on the back of the big bird that flew towards him.

This move is the Feiyan soaring into the sky in Qingyan Boxing, the swallow has a petite body, flexible movements, and is light and fast when it flies up and down.

As the saying goes, art is not pressing!

Yi Jiuxiao's martial arts that he had practiced hard in his previous life and in this life really came in handy at this moment.

This big bird was originally a bird of prey, how could it make people stand on its back and be furious for a while.

So he flew up and down, intending to throw Yi Jiuxiao.

But everything was in vain, and after tossing for a quarter of an hour, Yi Jiuxiao still stood firmly on his back, not moving.

Suddenly, Yi Jiuxiao slapped the big bird on the neck with the spear in his hand and said, "It's enough to toss, don't stop, I'll blow your head with one shot!"

This big bird seemed to be able to understand human speech, and when it saw Yi Jiuxiao say this, it stopped, not daring to fly and flutter anymore.

"Can you understand me? If you do, nod your head. ”

Yi Jiuxiao stood on the back of the big bird, holding the spear with one hand and asking at the big bird's head.

"The little beast has inadvertently offended the adult, please spare the little beast's life. ”

This big bird can actually speak, it seems that it is a demon beast.

Yi Jiuxiao laughed and said, "Spare your life! You almost killed me just now, do you know?"

"The little beast should die, please atone for your sins! The little beast is a clan of green harriers, and it has cultivated to the early stage of Jindan, which is equivalent to that of humans. ”

Oh~ As soon as Yi Jiuxiao heard that it was the early stage of Jindan, he became interested, and remembered the thousand-year-old turtle who built the foundation and cultivated in Lost Dream Ze back then.

"Listen, green harrier, let me spare you, but you have to help me. On that day, I met the Turtle Clan in Lost Dreams, and they helped me survive Lost Dreams, so I gave Lost Dreams to their clan. If you help me today, I can also give you this mountain and wilderness, so that you can cultivate and reproduce here. ”

"I've heard of Lost Dreams, what the adults said is true, and you are not the lord of this country. ”

Seeing that the green harrier didn't seem to believe his words, Yi Jiuxiao laughed and took out a token from the ring.

This token is the crown prince token that Li Rong once gave him, so that he can enter and leave the palace freely.

He took the token and shook it at the green harrier and said, "Do you know this thing?"

The token is impressively written with the two golden characters of the prince, how can the green harrier not know it, and the Jindan demon beast can also know the words of the human being.

"It turned out to be the prince, the little beast is polite, I am willing to help the adult. ”

"I, Yi Jiuxiao, am no longer the crown prince now, but in Yi Country, I can count when I speak, if you can help me, I will definitely divide it!"

"Thank you, my lord, the little beast swears here, I am willing to obey the call of my lord, otherwise I will be doomed!" said the blue harrier's sharp voice with joy.

The demon beast also cultivates the Heavenly Dao, just like the human cultivators.

However, cultivation is much more difficult than that of humans, and many demon beasts have fallen in the Heavenly Tribulation.

If you can get the seal of the human emperor, it is to conform to the way of heaven, and the risk of falling in the tribulation will be much reduced.

In fact, what the blue harrier wants is not this mountain, this mountain is originally its world, its hunting ground.

"I'm very strange, since you are already a Jindan cultivator, why do you still prey on flesh and blood and eat us mortals. ”

Yi Jiuxiao suddenly asked, in his impression, when the cultivator arrived at the foundation building, he no longer ate fireworks and flesh, but only absorbed the aura of heaven and earth, or ate some pills.

"My lord, our demon clan is a little different from human cultivation, and humans can eat pills. And we don't know how to make alchemy, we can only rely on tonic heaven and earth treasures, and it is said that eating human beings is the most supplement. ”

"You've arrived at Jindan, you should be able to transform into a human form, right?"

Yi Jiuxiao stood on the back of the green harrier and asked, but he no longer pointed his spear at its head.

"The little beast can't yet, our Qing Harrier clan can only transform after reaching the Yuan Infant, which has something to do with the bloodline. ”

Yi Jiuxiao nodded, thinking to himself that the higher the bloodline, the later the demon beast would transform, and the demon clan was a little interesting.
