Chapter 142: The War Is Deadlocked
Hearing Huai Wei's denial so resolutely, Yixin dispelled his doubts, and couldn't help but wonder: "What kind of interests can make the Di people take such a risk?" β
"I don't know, I'm afraid you'll have to ask him." Huai Wei glanced in the direction of the Immortal Emperor who was sitting on the white jade chair of the Xiangyun Qilin.
"Emperor Ben has promised the quota of the three of them immortal clans." The Immortal Emperor didn't have to ask, as soon as Huai Wei's words fell, he said the answer.
"When a dogleg is exchanged for a chance to join the immortal clan, this transaction is indeed a good deal." Huai Wei commented in a weird manner, and then said to Long Yu, "You continue." β
Lord Xiangxue saw that something was wrong with the shade of the tree, so he immediately made a decision, and the long tail swept over there, and slapped several sneaky ghost clans away. This move stunned those ghost clans who thought they were hiding hidden, and the next moment, Lord Xiangxue's tail flung into the water, and many Di people lurking in the water flew away. These two attacks easily broke the layout of the enemy army and disrupted their plans, and those ghost and Di people were discovered, and they were still stunned when they showed their shape, and they couldn't react for a long time, and they were unilaterally beaten by us, and we won the battle. β
He also asked anxiously: "According to what you say, the enemy army has been completely suppressed by you, and there is no power to resist, obviously the situation is very good, how can it finally become like that?" What happened next? How did you get besieged? Did something happen that even Xiangxue couldn't have predicted? β
Interrupted by Yixin like this, Long Yu didn't know where to start, he suddenly stopped, stunned in embarrassment, Huaiwei immediately relieved the siege and said: "Yixin, listen honestly, no matter what you want to say, hold it back for me first, and then there will be time for you to ask questions." Xiaoyu, ignore him, you continue. β
At this time, the minibus had recovered from the blow of bad news, and was listening quietly, and Yixin, who had been reprimanded, was honest.
Long Yu went on to recount what happened next: "Seeing that we were about to annihilate them all, we thought we saw victory beckoning to us, but at this moment, one of my companions let out a terrible cry. When we looked back at him, we saw a terrible scene. His head had taken the form of a demon, maintaining the strange state of the demon head's human body, and his entire face had melted, barely recognizable, his nose, eyes, and mouth were glued together, exactly like a clay statue blurred after encountering water. He endured the pain and remained close to us and stayed in formation with us. We didn't see him become like this, and we thought it was some kind of evil spell, so Lord Xiangxue told us to watch the spell caster and pay attention to dodging the spell. But the partner who had been battered in the face reminded us in a hoarse voice, shouting the word 'water' incessantly. β
"Abyssal river water." Huai Wei pointed out bitterly that the so-called "water" is the water of the Yuanhe River that can melt all things, and then thought that she had sent the little demon to report the news, and they had no reason to be defenseless, so she frowned and asked Long Yu, "Didn't I let the demon tell you to be careful of the Yuanhe River and let you retreat in time?" Why do you seem to be completely unaware of this, and you are careless and succeed in a sneak attack? Could it be that the little demon didn't catch up and went too late? β
"No, the demon friend of the message has caught up, and he came at the right time." Long Yu responded depressedly, "Luo Luo, that is, when the demon who reported the news came, we were killing hard, and that was when we first thought that the chances of winning were very great. Rollo brought instructions from the gods, but Lord Soyuki decided that we should not just leave, but at least drive the enemy forces away from the central island, so he told Rollo that we would hold on to the tree and ask him to bring the message back to the gods. As for the water of the deep river that the gods are talking about, we don't know what it is, and by the time we realize it, it's too late. β
"It's too late to make amends." The Immortal Emperor was not salty and said cool words on the side.
"Now that you're aware of the danger, why don't you come back? Didn't I let Rollo go again? Huaiwei asked them bitterly why they didn't obey the order.
"When Rollo went to the central island again, the tree was in a life-or-death situation." Long Yu suppressed the turbulent grief in his heart and responded in a calm voice as much as possible, "Frog, it was the partner whose face was burned that after saying 'water' a few times in a row, Lord Xiangxue remembered the words of the god Pairoro and realized that what the frog said was probably the water of the deep river. After Lady Xiangxue told us his guess, we were all afraid of being the next target to be attacked by the lethal and terrifying water of the deep river, and we watched vigilantly like frightened birds, all the grass and trees. β
"The water of the deep river that can be brought out of the ghost realm is limited, and the ghost clan will not all use it to attack you." Huai Wei's words to break the ghost clan are not here.
Due to the fact that there were no healing wounds on his body, Long Yu grinned and took a deep breath, and responded in a poignant voice: "As the gods said, the ghost clan is more cunning than we imagined, and their main purpose in going to the central island is not at all our group of later blockers, they have been running for the begonia tree from the beginning, and those deep rivers are also prepared to destroy the begonia tree, and the grub is just their experiment. Seeing that the damage of the Yuanhe River to the Tangtang Tree was about to be caused by a bucket of water, a figure teleported to the side of the Tangtang Tree with lightning speed, blocking the Yuanhe Water, and replacing the Tangtang Tree with the damage, and the whole body was seriously burned. β
"Who did such a stupid thing? Why use your body to block it? If the group of miscellaneous members of the ghost clan want to destroy the begonia tree, just let them destroy it, why would they rather die to keep that tree? Huai Wei felt both sad and self-reproachful, Xiangxue and they guarded the begonia tree one after another, just for her safety.
Long Yu didn't know what to say to comfort Huaiwei, and he confessed his heart for his sacrificial companions: "For the sake of the gods, there is no regret until death." β
"Who is this hero who blocked the water of the deep river with his body?" Yixin asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.
"Camel, this hero who sacrificed himself to fulfill the righteousness is called Camel, a member of the White Horse Clan." Long Yu solemnly announced the name of the victim and bowed deeply to the camel tribe as a sign of respect, and all the monsters followed suit, paying the highest respect to the White Horse tribe.
At this time, the Immortal Emperor sat calmly, arrogantly looking at the pain and sorrow of the monsters in Pangu Mountain, as if he was sitting at the celebration of the victory of the war, and was in the position of the head, listening to the bottom of the boast of his great achievements as much as possible, and his expression and posture were all full of pride.
"I should let Rollo go again, so that he can report your plight in time, I can make a decision, and you will not lose much." Reflecting on her mistakes, Huaiwei regretted herself for not holding out for a while, thinking that if she tried harder, there would be no sacrifice.
Long Yu comforted Huaiwei: "Shenhu, it's not your fault, you don't need to blame yourself." No matter how many times you ask Rollo to come over, the result will be the same, we will not obey the order to evacuate, hold on to the central island, and protect the begonia tree is our mission, and we are willing to shed blood and sacrifice for it until we die. Moreover, at that time, Rollo could no longer enter, he could not pass on the message at all, and after he left for the second time, the central island was all shrouded in the barrier. β
"What's going on? Who set the barrier? Is it Xiangxue? In order to block the invasion of the deep river? Huaiwei asked impatiently.
"Yes and no." Long Yu gave an answer that no one could understand, and then began to explain under the puzzled eyes of the monsters, "The original barrier was set by Lord Xiangxue, but it was not big enough to envelop the entire central island. After the camel was injured, Lord Xiangxue suddenly realized that the true purpose of the ghost clan was the begonia tree, and he set up an enchantment around the begonia tree as fast as he could, so as to block the extremely corrosive water of the abyssal river. However, Lord Xiangxue's seemingly unbreakable barrier only resisted three attacks from the Abyssal River before falling apart and completely losing its effectiveness. And at this time, the attacks of those ghost clans continued. β
"How is that possible? Lord Xiangxue's enchantment technique is the best in Pangu Mountain, and the enchantment he set up is impossible for even the most powerful demon in the world to break through easily. "The messenger demon named Luo Luo has not seen the destructive power of the Abyss River with his own eyes, and he does not believe that it can easily break the barrier of Xiangxue.
Huai Wei explained Luo Luo's confusion and said: "The water of the Yuanhe River can melt all things, and ordinary enchantments can only withstand it once, and Xiangxue's enchantment is considered to be the best." β
Seeing that the barrier was broken, Lord Xiangxue reacted extremely quickly, and he quickly cast a spell, and in an instant, another barrier was formed. And the ghost clan repeated its old tricks, and continued to pour water from the abyss river on the barrier, breaking the barrier again. While facing the enemy, Lord Xiangxue arranged the enchantment in an orderly manner, and it can be said that he was able to play it with ease without delay on both sides. Those ghost clans and Di people are not our opponents at all, they are suppressed by us to death, and they have no power to resist. Lady Soyuki asked us to break through the enemy's defenses in one go, and his thoughts, like the gods, thought that the amount of water carried by the Oni Clan was not much. Lord Xiangxue felt that as long as the recalcitrant Oni and Di Clans were wiped out, this battle to defend the Begonia Tree could be easily won and the enemy army was driven away from the central island. β
"Since the ghost clan has brought out the deep river from the ghost realm, they must have made complete preparations, their combat power will definitely not be as vulnerable as you described, and the powerful leader of the ghost clan must be hiding behind, they have always preferred this kind of sneaky behavior." Huai Wei shook her head and said that Xiang Xue's idea was too naΓ―ve.
"It is worthy of being a god who has dealt with the ghost clan several times, and you don't need to be there to know their secret arrangements in person." The Immortal Emperor suddenly made a sound and brushed his sense of existence.
Not wanting to deal with the Immortal Emperor at all, Huai Wei didn't even give him a look, but said to Long Yu in a deep voice: "The best thing the ghost clan is at is the word 'drag', they first use the weaker low-level ghost clan to consume your spiritual power, and then dispatch the high-level ghost clan when you are tired and exhausted, and break it in one fell swoop." β
Lowering his head in shame, Long Yu said with deep resentment: "The gods did not expect it badly, we did fall for it." The ghost clan used wheel tactics to drain our combat power, and when we were exhausted, several ghost clans with extraordinary strength joined the battle. They are different from the previous ghost clans, ordinary spells can't hurt them at all, even if they are cut into two pieces, they can still automatically put the broken parts together unharmed, which is very difficult. β
"The high-level ghost clan is afraid of fire and thunder spells." The Immortal Emperor interjected, sounding as if he was making a plan.
Disdainful of talking to the Immortal Emperor, an afterthought, Long Yu continued the above experience and continued: "Lord Xiangxue and we are both the first time we have encountered this kind of powerful and difficult opponent, and we don't know how to deal with it for a while. The Pangu Mountain monsters are basically good at water and wood spells, and only two of our companions have dabbled in thunder and fire spells, which made it take us some time to figure out the doorways inside and explore the weaknesses of these unkillable ghosts. After the harvest, we covered the two companions to cast the spell with all their might, and although the subsequent defense was difficult, it achieved good results, successfully curbing the crazy counterattack of the ghost clan, eliminating their main combat power, and finally living up to the expectations of the gods and protecting the begonia tree. β
"It's me, I didn't tell you in advance of the usual tricks of the ghost clan, which made you tired of coping, it's all my fault, it's my lack of consideration. How could I not have thought of that? I've fought with the Oni Clan several times, but I didn't notify you in time, damn it! Huai Wei scolded herself harshly.
"God, the cunning of the invaders is far beyond our imagination, and we are in the midst of it that we are not able to deal with it, how can you anticipate their every move?" Long Yu comforted Huaiwei not to blame herself too much, but instead gritted his teeth and glared, and said hatefully, "It is difficult to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, and you don't know the face but not the heart." It is said that the heart of the snake and the scorpion, the heart of some self-righteous immortals is much more vicious than that of demons, and its degree cannot be measured with ordinary hearts. β
"The Immortals have joined the fray." As soon as Huai Wei saw Long Yu's resentment towards the immortal clan present, she guessed the meaning of his words, turned her head to look at the Immortal Emperor, narrowed her eyes and asked him, "You have played a big game of chess, aren't you afraid that when the bamboo basket will be empty, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment?" β
"Just wait and see, this is where to go, the emperor's plan is only the tip of the iceberg. After that, there are bigger and more surprises waiting for the gods to discover, and this emperor will definitely not disappoint the gods. Seeing that Huai Wei was finally looking at him, the Immortal Emperor showed a smile like spring breeze and rain, and raised his eyebrows in response.
