Chapter 265: Difficult to Walk
The road is difficult, the mountain road is doubtful, and the mountains and rivers are exhausted and bends. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Although Li Jingxuan had been mentally prepared for a long time and knew that Xing Longshan's road was not easy to walk, he never thought that this difficult road would be so difficult to walk. This is still the avenue of caravan traffic, but a long section of it is a nest dug out of the cliff by some means, its height is no more than a zhang, and the width is not more than five feet, and it looks like a caterpillar coiling on the mountain wall, as if it was split by some great master.
However, this is already a relatively easy walk. Even more difficult is the plank road built on the mountain wall, made of sticks and planks nailed to the cliff. Although the materials in this world are very good, and the solidity of the wooden sticks and planks is completely comparable to the strength of the steel that Li Jingxuan knows, but looking at the wood grains all over the ground, feeling the danger of the abyss on one side of the steep wall, even with Li Jingxuan's boldness, he can't help but feel a little scared when he walks on it.
"Is this the so-called road? It's really bad to walk, and I'm a little worried about whether I'm going to fall into the air just like that. Li Jingxuan shook his body and said with emotion.
"Ann ...... The wood here is all ironwood that has been grown for half a year. Although some of them are not used for the trunk, as long as you don't play crazy on it, just walk on it normally, then there is no problem at all. Qu Ying said with a chuckle.
"That's right...... But I'm still a little scared when I look at this. Li Jingxuan frowned, feeling a little distressed.
"Well, that's up to you to adjust your mood. Qu Ying sighed, but she was very helpless. For this kind of psychological problem, no one can help Li Jingxuan. At the moment, he turned his conversation to something else: "Be careful, the atmosphere today is very depressing, and I am worried that I will be attacked by demon beasts again." ”
"Here, on this kind of plank road?" Li Jingxuan believed Qu Ying's admonition a little, but after believing it, he frowned at the situation Qu Ying said: "In this kind of place where there is no village in front and no store in the back, how can there be demon beasts attacking? Are they demon beasts living on the cliff?"
"Well, that's pretty much what you can say!" Qu Ying nodded vaguely.
Li Jingxuan wanted to continue to ask, but was stopped by him lightly: "Don't worry, when you meet, you will know what we may encounter." It's good to be calm, not too aggressive, not too fearful. After all, this is the Xinglong Mountain Avenue run by us. There will be some dangers, but they won't be too dangerous. The strength of the enemy is not very strong, haven't you encountered it yourself? As long as you don't mess up, you generally won't have any problem with your life. Qu Ying said lightly, in his opinion, the situation in front of him was this gang - he was an old man walking in the Xinglong Mountain Range, he had seen a lot about the Xinglong Mountain Range, and naturally he didn't have any unexpected thoughts.
"Uh...... That's right. Li Jingxuan listened to Qu Ying's admonition slightly, but did not say anything more.
It had been more than ten days since he entered the Xinglong Mountain Range, and he had been attacked by the beast tide several times. With his own strong strength, he has made a name for himself, and he also has a certain understanding of these crazy "beasts". He naturally understood that the strength of these beasts was originally considered "ordinary", most of them were only beasts of the Forging Body Realm, and it was difficult for them to pose a threat to the people of the caravan except for their huge numbers. Everything is just as Qu Ying said, as long as you are not greedy, keep in the formation, and are not annihilated by the beast tide, you can indeed survive under the attack of the beast tide wave after wave.
It's hard work, but it's not difficult.
Many of the Xinglong Mountains are inaccessible places, and there is only one trade road, which is the Xinglong Trade Road that connects Mucheng and Zhencheng. This trade road was jointly opened by the ancient monks, and after many maintenances and tens of thousands of years of wind and rain, it can be said that the road is about to be rushed.
Because there is only one straight road, there is no branch in the middle, and every spring the road will encounter waves of monsters and beasts, so in order to ensure the safety of pedestrians on the trade road, people at that time opened up a wide camp camp at intervals on the trade road for the caravan to rest.
It is precisely because of the existence of such camps that the caravans that walk on the trade routes walk roughly the same distance every day - they are not quite equal and cannot be successful, because if they go too slow or too fast and miss the camp, what awaits them is the miserable scene of hitting the narrow trade routes. If in this case, in the encounter with an inexplicable beast tide, the miserable effect is simply too happy to look at directly.
Some caravans used to do just that, and it goes without saying what happened to them. If someone has enough rope to fall down from here and take a closer look, they will understand where they end up. In the abyss, which is hundreds of feet deep, there are countless white bones looking up to the sky and speechless, silently telling the fate of violating this law with their black hole hole eye sockets.
After so much negative education, the caravans walking on the trade road naturally silently obeyed such rules.
The caravan's camping ground was fixed, and even on such a narrow boardwalk, there were campsites carved out.
After walking leisurely for a long time, Boss Luo led everyone to finally come to the location of the campsite on the plank road.
This is a mountain nest completely artificially carved out, with more than four miles of vertical and horizontal from east to west, and two miles from north to south, but it is a fairly wide existence.
When Boss Luo led everyone into here, there were already two caravans staying here in this mountain nest.
On the one hand, Boss Luo asked people to find a spacious place to camp here, and on the other hand, he led people to visit the campsite opposite, greeted them, and discussed some problems.
"Tonight...... There's a good chance that the monster will attack. Even Qu Ying can see this, and Boss Luo, who is also very experienced, doesn't understand. He consulted with the people in the camp opposite, mainly about the defense of the camp.
If a caravan walking in the Xinglong Mountains meets in a campsite, there is no monstrous enmity between each other, and they are attacked by demon beasts, then they must watch and help each other to jointly resist the attack of demon beasts - this is an unwritten rule about the caravans coming and going in the Xinglong Mountain Range, and it is also an unspoken rule. This rule does not require everyone to follow it, but if you do not follow such rules, then you and your caravan will not end up very well.
Boss Luo is a person who pays attention to harmony and wealth, and he is very discerning, so he naturally will not do those things that he thinks are mavericks like those reckless people who are fledgling and don't know the height of the sky. He brought people over to visit and discuss, and soon received a kind response from those on the other side.
Today's wrongness is in everyone's hearts, and if you want to deal with this troublesome night, you naturally need everyone's collective efforts.
Boss Luo, who returned from the camp of those people on the other side, in addition to working harder to prepare everyone, asked everyone to prepare more stones.
"Why are you preparing these?" Li Jingxuan was a little puzzled by this, and he asked his old brother Qu Ying in a low voice.
"For the enemy we are facing tonight is from heaven. Qu Ying said with a wry smile.
"From the sky, is it a bird?" Seeing Qu Ying say this, Li Jingxuan quickly thought of this.
"Is it an eagle?" asked Li Jingxuan.
"It's a more terrifying being than an eagle. Qu Ying nodded, and shook his head gently: "It's the Cold Mountain Vulture! It is two feet high, with a wingspan of four feet, with a sharp pecking and hard claws, and it survives on the snowy mountain for thousands of years." They are undoubtedly the most powerful birds in the region. It is said that the cold mountain eagle is the offspring of the Thunderbird and the Wind Hawk, and although their bloodlines are very thin, some of them are powerful, and they also have more or less the ability of one or two ancestors - simply put, some of their mutated characters can use thunder and wind. This has almost reached the level of a demon, but it is not a character who completely relies on his body to speak. We have to be careful with them. ”
"The Eagle of the Cold Mountain? But...... Since they want to fight our minds, let us use our swords to harvest their lives. Li Jingxuan's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and the raging battle intent rose from the sky, making others a little frightened.
And so, it was nightfall.
At this time, it was the middle of February, and the moon in the sky was round and bright. Li Jingxuan didn't count the days, and I don't know if today is fifteen or sixteen, in short, it is a very bright night.
It's just that this bright moonlit night feels a little inexplicably bad.
Maybe it's because of Qu Ying's reminder, maybe this is the depression before the danger comes, Li Jingxuan felt the scenery of heaven and earth after a simple dinner, but he always felt a little depressed. He looked up at the sky, and vaguely felt that the moon was a little strange tonight, the bright moonlight was not as white as frost, but it was covered with a layer of red veil, revealing a little bloody smell.
"Looks like there's going to be a good fight tonight. Watching the moon in the sky move to the position of Zhongtian little by little, the uneasiness in Li Jingxuan's heart became more and more intense.
Although everything was still calm so far, Li Jingxuan's intuition told him that this calm was only temporary, and it was just to brew a deeper storm.
When the storm broke out, Li Jingxuan did not know. It's just that he understands that as time goes by, the likelihood of this storm coming is getting bigger and bigger.
"Do you want to discuss it with Boss Luo? It seems that it is time for everyone to get up. The apprehension in his heart made Li Jingxuan feel very bad, and he was about to turn around to look for Boss Luo, but suddenly heard a sharp and high-pitched eagle chirping in the northeast sky. This was a cry full of crazy killing intent, Li Jingxuan didn't know where this madness came from, but he understood that with the startle of this tweet, his enemy would soon come here. This is a battle with its own right and wrong, and it is also a battle full of blood. In such a battle, everyone has to be careful and have to give it their all, because they all know that to retreat carelessly is to give up their lives.
Life is precious, and everyone only has one time. Therefore, in order to live longer, everyone must do what they are told.
"Formation...... Formation!" After discovering that the enemy had appeared, Boss Luo in the caravan shouted out the order. He shouted loudly, asking his team to assemble, and Bu Cheng had already cooperated with the circle formation several times.
The Circle Formation is one of the military formations that came from the Aurora Continent, and it is different from the formations within the sect that are designed to exert the strength of a few dozen people. As a military formation, the circle is most suitable for the formation of a large number of people - a hundred people is not too much for a round formation, and a thousand people is not a small number. If you have the ability to form a circle of 10,000 people, or tens of thousands of people, then the circle can also exert its due characteristics and protect yourself.
That's right, the most powerful thing about the circle is the defense that has no dead ends. This formation can be said to be a pure turtle shrinking formation.
Because the people who set up the formation are monks and have a very fast speed, and because the people who set up the formation have a certain amount of cooperation experience with each other, the formation of the circle is very fast. This is not only the case on Boss Luo's side, but also the other two caravans. The monks on both sides quickly lined up under their old orders.
And almost as soon as they were arrayed, their enemies arrived. These flying eagles in the air move in a fairly regular manner in a large area of weight. They flew here overwhelmingly, arrogantly spreading their wings, connecting into a black cloud in the air, and this black cloud flew above the heads of Li Jingxuan and others, but it completely covered the moonlight in the sky, so that a large shadow was cast on everyone's heads.
"Attention, guys, they're coming down quickly. Everybody, hold your ground, and when they pounce on us within three feet of our heads, they're attacking. Be careful, these guys are monsters with powerful bodies. If you want to attack them, you have to find the right spot and deliver a killing blow to them. Therefore, everyone must wait until they are sure before they shoot to kill the enemy, if they are not sure of being killed. Ladies and gentlemen, let's be patient and wait for the next opportunity that the heavenly enemy leaves us. Seeing that the enemy was flying down and getting closer and closer to him, Boss Luo, as the principal of the caravan, had to announce such an order loudly.
This is an order, and it is also a reminder that Boss Luo doesn't want his team to lose too much at this juncture. (To be continued.) )
