Chapter 222: A Tragic Battle
The monsters were very fast, and soon surrounded the monks.
Although Lingmo and Mo Xiaoxiao showed the appearance of this monster as a warning, the monks still rushed to kill it, and the eight-legged monster was much more ferocious than they expected.
Each monster was more than three feet tall, and its eight thick legs moved sideways rapidly, making it look very flexible. And at the top, directly in front of the not-so-big head, are a pair of black lacquer-like eyes, lined with a blood-red skin, which is even more terrifying.
"What the hell is this?!" The monks were almost frightened.
A sword that was enough to split mountains and rocks with the power of a sword, as if it had been slashed on steel, not only did it not leave the slightest wound on the monsters, but it also clearly angered them, and countless eight-legged monsters tore at these intruders with red eyes.
Their chelica and long legs were their sharpest weapons, and almost every huge blood-red claw that unfolded would bring up a monk's stump, and each blood-red leg with hooks could pierce a monk's chest.
In a flash, the monks were killed, and in the blink of an eye, countless monks had fallen, and they were quickly devoured by monsters. Compared to ordinary demon beasts and monks, the bodies of these monsters are really tough.
The monks were all red-eyed, this group of young disciples, some of them had participated in the beast hunting competition twenty years ago, and some had broken into the Longtan Tiger's Den during the experience, they could be said to have experienced a hundred battles, but at this moment, they were terrified in front of this group of seemingly invincible monsters.
Monks with fire systems released raging fire, and it stands to reason that demon beasts are very afraid of fire. Sure enough, the monsters seemed to be very unfamiliar with flames and stepped back a bit.
The monks also regained some of their senses after being frightened, and the sight of the corpses of their fellow sects and clans all over the ground aroused a raging rage, and for a while, more violent spells with multicolored light. Throwing at the monsters one after another.
But in the next moment, as if they had adjusted to the temperature of the flames, the blood-colored demons pounced on them again with fierce spirits, and opened their claws towards the monks......
Mo Xiaoxiao stood at the outermost edge of the squad, a squad of 20,000 people, forming a circle of about fifty zhang to prevent the invasion of monsters from all angles. Around them, many monks had fallen.
At this time, they had only entered the gate for about fifty miles, and they were actually attacked by such a big attack. Such losses were incurred.
Mo Xiaoxiao opened the bow left and right with the rain blade sword and the sky star rain stick in his hand. After killing hundreds of monsters, she gradually figured out some patterns. Therefore, it is much more convenient to focus on the monster's thin waist than to hit its head, arms, and legs.
The people next to him saw that the effect was good, and the other monks also discovered this rule, and soon all the monks discovered that the monster's waist was their weakness. So they all concentrated on attacking their relatively slender waists, and the monsters roared in pain and madness, while the corpses fell in pieces, and only then did the monks gradually take control of the situation.
The monks and the blood-colored monsters didn't know how long they had been fighting, and finally, as if they felt that this group of intruders was not as weak as they thought, the blood-colored monsters let out a strange chirping sound. Then the tide faded and soon disappeared into the darkness.
The red-eyed monks gasped for breath, sweating profusely and covered in blood, as if they had just returned from the blood pool of hell.
Naturally, the monks who came to the secret realm were completely prepared. But I don't know how long I will stay in the secret realm, so all the resources have become extremely precious. The monks were soft-hitting, but they were afraid that those monsters would attack again, so they had to take a large amount of tonic elixirs to improve their physical strength.
After some counting, in this first battle, more than 8,000 monks were killed, more than 20,000 were seriously injured, and 70,000 or 80,000 monks had minor injuries of varying degrees.
The monks' eyes were a little red, and when they were in the outside world, they might have attacked each other and plotted against each other, but at this time, after the catastrophe, they saw countless of their fellow clans fall in this purgatory like this, and they couldn't help but feel a feeling called hatred and hatred.
Mo Xiaoxiao and Ling Ge took a quick break back to back, although neither of them was injured, but the monster's body was too stiff, even if they found their weakness, almost every blow they hit was with all their strength, and now they stopped, their arms trembling slightly.
After a short rest, the monks raised their alertness again, and there was no time to be sad, fearing that the things would summon more companions, and the monks unanimously decided to move quickly and find a safe place to stay.
After setting fire to the bodies of their fellow citizens, the monks quickly picked themselves up and left the scene as quickly as possible.
Since the third squad had suffered the heaviest casualties before, there were now less than 10,000 of the 20,000 remaining, so it was dismantled again and added to the other teams with casualties.
People looked at the fifth team where Tianjimen was located, hoping that they could point out a relatively safe path.
Mo Xiaoxiao quickly rehearsed the eleven true stars in the sea, and shook his head helplessly: "It can be said that there are crises everywhere, and no one side is safe." ”
The monks were a little afraid, what kind of place had they come?
The lone Xiangyue at the front said: "In this case, we should not stay for a long time, everyone be careful, the secret realm has not been born for a long time, our appearance will definitely alarm the monsters here soon, there is nothing to rely on, only rely on ourselves!" ”
The monks all let out a low roar, but the voice was still a little dejected.
The leading team of the Immortal Sword Sect soon came to a fork in the road, and at this time, the monks raised some objections: "There are so many of us, wouldn't it be more concentrated to attract monsters?" When more and more monsters besiege us, what should we do? ”
Of course, most of the monks still didn't want to divide the troops, so they retorted: "We are not familiar with the people here, and we don't know how big the space is here, and how many monsters there are in it. ”
The monk who advocated the division of troops disagreed: "Even then, it is better for only a part of the monsters to besiege than we are now, like a target waiting for the monsters to rise up and attack!" ”
After this fork in the road, the monks tried to restrain their breath as much as possible, and walked cautiously, and the road was safe for a while.
After another hour or so, the monks came to the entrance of a black cavern, and around it, there were several dense roads stretching. After a closer look, it's safe.
The first team at the front stopped and rested in place. After all, in the previous battle, the monks were caught off guard, there were too many casualties, although they took the tonic elixir and healing pill, but they still couldn't recover their strength immediately, and the monks knew very well that although it was not necessarily safe to stay in place, they would only die faster if they were tired.
Here, too, the monks decided to discuss the strategy of dealing with the enemy. Before getting started, the arrangement of Lonely Xiangyue was just a basic strategy, but now that the situation is different, it is natural to make corresponding adjustments.
These more than 200,000 monks come from thousands of large and small families and sects, and it is naturally difficult for the monks to unify their wishes.
Eventually, according to the monk's wishes, the four teams that were willing to join together would be together, while the other five teams who were willing to split would choose to leave alone.
A monk comforted: "The monster came by smelling us, and everyone is separated, and the temperature is more dispersed, which is also conducive to paralyzing the monster." The mountains are high and the waters are long, and everyone cherishes them. ”
Mo Xiaoxiao's fifth team was also the one who was willing to leave alone, and after a short break, the monks cherished each other and found a direction to leave.
According to the strength, everyone also agreed to nominate Senior Brother Lingjin, who has the highest cultivation in this team, as the captain. In the middle of Jindan, he is the undisputed strongest of this team.
In addition, Dao Danli, who is well-known and powerful, serves as the vice captain.
Mo Xiaoxiao noticed that when everyone's proposal came out, he frowned slightly, but he also nodded in agreement.
Their luck was not too good, and less than two hours after they left the main army, they encountered a batch of monsters again.
Compared to the previous prediction, this time they were sneak attacked.
Mo Xiaoxiao performed deduction twice in a row, and his consciousness was already exhausted, so he relaxed his vigilance and concentrated on cultivation.
And just as they were about to take a break and spend the night here, suddenly dense black unknown creatures appeared from everywhere.
A scream rang out, and the monks noticed the dark creatures.
It was a swarthy, half-meter-tall creature with a head the size of a human head, its dark eyes completely submerged in darkness, its thick neck held high, ready to strike a fatal blow at its enemies, its soft belly clinging to the ground, crawling out of top of their head and around them with barely a sound.
The monks hid cautiously for a long time before they relaxed a little and were immediately surrounded. In the blink of an eye, dozens of screams rang out, already devoured by the black creature.
The monks reacted immediately, took up their weapons, and fought the monster again.
Ye Xiaoling had already returned to the squad where their sect was located before, so the monks were not too attached to the formation at this time, after all, the most important thing was to be able to survive and kill the enemy the most.
Mo Xiaoxiao's body was also covered in blood like everyone else. Fortunately, except for some fatigue in her consciousness, she was not injured.
At the critical juncture, Mo Xiaoxiao didn't dare to hide her secrets, on the green rain Qingfeng sword in her right hand, a goose yellow willow green sword rain continued to spill out, in front of her, the sky star fell rain stick automatically swept, and her left hand, it exuded a layer of blue light, whenever a large number of monsters approached, Mo Xiaoxiao threw out an ice blue fireball, burning the monster to death.
The Netherfire that is invincible in the monk's body can only burn the monster to death without burning it to ashes, which shows how hard their skin is.
