Chapter 302: Division of Troops
After the failure of the first tentative attack, Qingjiao immediately retreated with many demon beasts. When leaving, Qingjiao also took away the bones of the dead demon beasts to serve as food and grass for the demon beast army.
There were more than three hundred corpses of these dead demon beasts, and although most of them were not of high rank, their flesh and bones, fur and minions were all very valuable treasures for monks.
Except for the hundreds of low-level demon beasts that Han Yan had killed using the Dark Cloud Peach Miasma, the Black Mountain Monks had barely gained any loot in this battle.
The low-level demon beasts killed by the dark cloud peach blossom miasma, the poison has penetrated into the flesh and blood of the demon beasts, and even the fur spirit bones need special treatment to be able to remove the toxin.
Without the flesh and blood of the beast, the value of the demon beast materials has been reduced by half, but for the besieged Montenegrin monks, mosquito legs are also meat in a small way, and these low-level demon beast materials were cleaned up by Zhang Zhixuan and stored in the Black Mountain Mansion.
After the failure of the attack on Montenegro, Qingjiao did not continue to probe, and the demon beasts besieging Montenegro calmed down for three or four days.
Suddenly, one day, a group of demon wolves and a group of demon tigers left the demon beast army and went to kill in the direction of Taicheng County.
Zhang Zhixuan saw with his own eyes that the two demon beasts led by a wolf and a tiger had reached the fourth order, and this level of demon beasts was also very tricky for Zhang Zhixuan. Although there are still some people left in Taicheng County, except for Chaoyin Mountain, there are no Purple Mansion Stage monks stationed there, once these two fourth-order demon beasts enter Taicheng County, it will be difficult for the local Immortal Cultivation Family to keep them.
Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhixuan's face changed, he didn't expect Qingjiao to have this hand, and he didn't know what method this Jiaolong used to control the demon beasts under his command, so that the various demon beasts would not break out into conflict.
Qingjiao's hand immediately made the Black Mountain Monk fall into passivity, compared to the huge number of demon beasts and the large number of high-level demon beasts, the strength of the Black Mountain Monk was seriously insufficient.
The demon beasts went north to plague Taicheng County, and immediately made the reinforced monks of the three southeastern counties confused, their relatives and friends are all in the north, once the demon beasts invade, these people will definitely kill and injure countless people.
Soon, the monks of the three southeastern counties took the initiative to ask for help, hoping that Zhang Zhixuan would lead people to fight with Qingjiao, win the demon beast army under the Black Mountain, and then rescue Taicheng County from the crisis.
When people are in turmoil, when they are under pressure, the monks will often abandon their duties, and even if the defensive formation is strong, it will be useless at all.
Zhang Zhixuan quickly sensed the turmoil in the hearts of the people, and immediately summoned the monks of the three southeastern counties to the top of the mountain, hoping to stabilize the morale of the army and continue to hold on and wait for the opportunity.
When everyone arrived, Zhang Zhixuan saw that most of the monks looked sad, as if the sky had fallen. Being besieged by demon beasts in Montenegro, the family will soon encounter a catastrophe, and I don't know how many people will survive the war, and their morale will naturally not be high.
Zhang Zhixuan waved his hand to make everyone quiet down and said: "Recently, many people have proposed to me that they hope to fight with the demon beasts, and if they can win, they will naturally be able to catch up with the two demon beasts in the north and save the fathers and relatives in their hometown." If you can't win, give up Montenegro and then go north to withdraw, and then return to your hometown to protect some of your relatives. ”
Zhang Zhixuan paused, and saw that everyone's attention was already focused, so he continued: "I think this is a bad idea, there are many demon beasts outside, almost more than double us. There are still five fourth-order demon beasts, not counting frogs, and there are flying demon beasts in the late fourth-order period, this force is outside the Black Mountain, we can neither win nor be sure to escape. ”
"So what? You can't watch your family being killed by all the monsters! A foundation-building monk turned dark and muttered.
Zhang Zhixuan smiled contemptuously and said: "That kid of the Sun family, don't be unconvinced, your third uncle, Sun Yulong, built the ninth layer of the foundation, and he died in the mouth of the fourth-order black Jiao for a while, and you only built the cultivation of the fifth layer of the foundation, and the frog Jiao outside can send you back to the west with a breath." If you want to grasp the initiative, if you want to fight with the demon beasts, you have to practice hard and strive to go further on the path, if you are a Jindan monk, you can take us out to fight the demon beasts. ”
The middle-aged Zhuji's face changed, he inadvertently complained just now, but he didn't expect to be heard by Zhang Zhixuan, he instantly remembered that the monk of the Purple Mansion had great sense, and I am afraid that Zhang Zhixuan's every move of the monk below was clear.
Seeing the middle-aged Zhuji's pale face, Zhang Zhixuan smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, I, Zhang Zhixuan, am not a stingy person, your third uncle, Sun Yulong, also fought side by side with me back then, and besieged the Black Mountain Jiaolong of Shuangjiao Mountain together." In that battle back then, I just gave him a hand, but unfortunately he was unlucky and died carelessly in the mouth of the dragon. We also have a relationship, so don't worry that I will find your account in the future. ”
Seeing that everyone no longer spoke, Zhang Zhixuan knew that they were already aware of the relationship, but it was still difficult for them to accept the harsh reality.
The most important thing now is to boost morale and hold on for a while and wait for the follow-up changes.
After all, Qingxuanzong still has a large number of people in the three northern counties, and now it has reached a critical juncture, Qingxuanzong's two fifth-order spiritual veins are in the Southern Wilderness, compared to the three northern counties, the territory of the Southern Wilderness is more important to Qingxuanzong, they will definitely have a trade-off, and send monks from the north to resist the army of demon beasts.
"Don't think nonsense, there is a psychic jade book on the Black Mountain, which can send a transmission note to Qingxuanzong, and there is also a psychic jade book on Chaoyin Mountain. Relying on the Psychic Jade Book, we were able to preemptively inform the family of Taicheng County of the information about the demon beast's southward movement. ”
The Psychic Jade Book is a unique artifact of the Qingxuan Sect that is capable of storing three third-order high-grade transmission talismans so that the monks can communicate with each other.
The Zhang family informed Qing Xuanzong of the news that the frog was recuperating in the Black Python Mountain, and in order to grasp the dynamics of the frog, Qing Xuanzong once gave a third-order high-grade transmission talisman that connected to the psychic jade book.
This transmission talisman has not been used by the Zhang family, and finally waited for today's critical time, as soon as the demon beasts divided their troops, Zhang Zhixuan used the teleportation talisman to transmit the news of the two fourth-order demon beasts going north to Qingyang Mountain, and handed over the right to choose to the monks of Qingyang Mountain.
But how the Qingxuanzong monks choose, it is not Zhang Zhixuan's turn to decide.
If the monks of Qingxuanzong are unwilling to give up the interests of the three northern counties and sit back and watch Taicheng County be ravaged by demon beasts, I am afraid that the monks of the three southeastern counties will be separated from morality, and the monks of Qingxuanzong such as Wu Sixuan and Zhang Hanyan will also be resentful, and may not be willing to continue to contribute to Qingxuanzong.
The sect is unwilling to protect the interests of the vassal family, and the vassal family will naturally not do their best for the sect, and then Qingxuanzong will lose the centripetal force of the sect, and the monks who were born in the three southeastern counties and were plagued by demon beasts will never agree with the leader of Qingxuanzong, and once they encounter a crisis, they will not contribute to the sect, but will each find a way to find a way back.
