The fifth day of Lower Heze.

In other parts of Heze, the sword cultivation disciples led by Changsun Yuan, Huangpu Zhen and Luo Guan all suffered heavy casualties, they all tried to attack a few villages, but the formation that the disciples of the Divine Sect easily broke with a wave of their hands made them suffer enough, not to mention that they could not break it for a long time, and when they were defeated, the sword witch took advantage of the situation to kill, and they suffered heavy casualties.

Coupled with the endless sneak attacks of various swamp poisonous insects along the way, as well as the condescending attacks of Miasma and Sword Witch Riding Optimus Cranes, in just five days, they lost half of their manpower.

In the past, the ambition of the customs was gradually dissipated in front of the fallen companions, and after hesitation and sorrow, they continued to move forward with a trace of fear. As a result, the three teams located in the southwest direction, forced by the form, had to unite together, and under the leadership of Luo Guan, they regrouped and began to brew a new round of attacks on the Sword Witch Walled City.

As a certain envoy of the Divine Sect said, "Heze is the tomb of geniuses." Only those who come out of it alive can be considered a genius. ”

The only team that did not suffer losses was only two, one was the remaining sixty or so Burning Sun Sect sword cultivators led by Hua Hong, who had been trained in Heze for three years, and had enough experience to avoid the sword witch's stockade and patrol, and went deep into the depths of Heze around Baiqi Mountain to hunt Yuan beasts or collect elixirs, the only worry was that they who were exiled by Kaiyang Pass could no longer return to Kaiyang Pass to replenish and cultivate until they raised enough contribution points.

There is also one, which is the two hundred Fuze Temple disciples led by Hongxing, the north they traveled, because it is close to the Qinling Mountains, so the terrain is higher, the swamp wetlands are relatively few, and there are fewer crises, which makes them almost lose any manpower along the way, and they walked smoothly to the edge of Heze, and at the same time, the harvest is naturally no.

"Senior brother, we have learned in Kaiyang Pass, there are very few sword witches in the north of Heze, and even there are very few Yuan Beasts, you see, I ran away in vain. Hongye, who was unhappy, touched his bald head, looked at the straight and steep cliff under his feet, and complained to Hongxing. On the opposite side of this cliff that is thousands of meters wide is the Qinling Mountains.

"Why, you have an opinion, or you will lead the way, Lao Tzu will still be happy. Hongxing's eyes were glaring, like a bully, and the brothers and disciples behind him who were full of resentment like Hongye didn't dare to say more, Hongxing really dared to beat people, not to mention that in Heze, who was far away from Emperor Gao, was in Fuze Temple, he didn't do less, although he was not punished for this, he still did it after the punishment, and over time, among the younger generation of disciples in Fuze Temple, he spoke more effectively than teaching.

Hongxing took out the map that he had forgotten for a long time in his arms, and scolded at a glance, "The dog said to play with me!" I saw that at the end of the black line drawn by the white cat, a pale yellow yellow line extended, obviously, this is the white cat that said that it was drawn with urine that was not stained with mud, and it was not shown when it was wet, but now it is visible as soon as it is dry.

The end of this yellow line points directly to Moyangzhai in the northwest, that is to say, the distance that can be reached in about five days by walking in a straight line, the white cat paints like this, and it takes ten days to half a month for Hongxing to detour, which is not the most important, the most important thing is that each of them only has half a month's ration, that is, even if they rush to Moyangzhai, they may starve to death somewhere.

Hongxing looked back at the group of juniors behind him with a gloomy face, and the disciples of Fuze Temple didn't dare to let go of one of them in Hongxing's eyes when they were about to swallow people.

"From now on, the amount of food per person per day will be halved, otherwise don't blame me for not reminding you if you are hungry when you are finished, if you are really hungry, you will go into the water to touch the locusts to fill your stomach, Lao Tzu is interesting enough to you, allow you to break your vows and dip into meat." ”

All the bald heads looked happy when they heard this, how can there be a man who doesn't want to eat meat, monks are also men, they understand what Hongxing means, it's not that they really want them to eat locusts, but, as long as they can fill their stomachs, from now on, they can get to eat, it doesn't matter where Hongxing wants to take them, as long as he can eat meat.

This is the most simple mind of the monks who have not left the monastery with six impure roots.

"I swear, I've never been so devout to the Buddha, but why should I listen to that bastard?" Hongxing led everyone along the cliff straight to the west, while thinking in his heart, but the truth is, he really wanted to do this, he knew that Yunchen would never let him sneak attack a heavily guarded Moyang Village, then there was only one possibility, Yunchen would lure most of the sword witches of Moyang Village away for him.

But a new question arises again, "Why does that bastard do good things that harm himself and others, is he influenced by the Buddha surname on Lao Tzu, fart, does he seem to be a master who is willing to suffer?" With such a question, Hongxing took more than two hundred disciples of Fuze Temple, day and night, except for encountering the beasts sent to the door to hunt and occasionally eat meat, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, no matter what Yunchen's plan was, but it was certain that Yunchen was about to arrive in Moyang Village, and even had already faced the sword witch of Moyang Village, because today was already the fifth day......

"Before coming here, I had prepared for any worst-case scenario, including confronting the Sword Witch of Moyang Village in advance. Yun Chenru said to the Six Dao Emperor Pu Jin beside him.

It was noon on the fifth day, it was still raining, and after a night and half a day's trek, Yunchen and his group of more than 500 people finally found a suitable place to hide, at least Yunchen thought this place was good.

It's a canyon. In other words, this is a gap between two hills next to each other that is no more than five or six meters long and a thousand meters long, such a narrow space, even if the sword witch finds them, they dare not fly in with a crane, the mountains on both sides are uneven and sixty or seventy meters high, all kinds of shrubs and thorns and vines are intertwined above their heads, and the top of the mountain is covered by tall pine trees, which makes it difficult for the thunder and fire cast by the sword witch to fall, and the sword witch also has a distance limit when he casts a spell, and it will automatically dissipate if it exceeds fifty meters.

A small stream flowed from the bottom of the canyon, and everyone leaned against the stone wall by the stream, enduring the discomfort of the jagged and sharp leaves of the ginkgo that grew on the hard rock at the bottom, and the atmosphere did not dare to make a sound.

"What are your plans?" asked Huang Pujin to Yunchen, who was holding the map.

"Consume!" Yun Chen calmly spat out a word.

Huang Pujin looked up at the surroundings and reminded: "Although this place is hidden enough, but sooner or later the sword witch will find it, maybe they can't do anything with us for a while, as long as they are willing to spend their strength, even if they level these two mountains, they can also force us out." ”

"So, the heaviest battle may be here, but the key to winning or losing this battle is not here. ”

"Where?"

Yunchen lightly pointed his finger at Moyang Village on the map. said to the puzzled Huangpujin Liudao: "At the beginning, I asked Hongxing to take the disciples of Fuze Temple, turn to the north and take a long way, and sneak attack Moyang Village from the side. ”

Looking at the two of them who suddenly realized in an instant, Yunchen continued: "Now, we have brought out almost forty Qingtian cranes, if Hongxing goes, there is a great possibility to take Moyang Village. ”

"What if he doesn't go, it's too far for them to carry enough supplies. Liudao said worriedly, and there was one sentence that Liudao didn't say, Hongxing, it wasn't that he and Huangpujin didn't have a deep friendship with Yunchen at all, why did he listen to Yunchen's arrangement, and he was so risky.

"I don't have the ability to accurately grasp everything, especially the human heart, and while we are looking forward to the special surprise that this special monk of Hongxing can bring us, we can't wait. Yunchen said and looked sideways out of the valley, where there were a few faint crane chirpings in the distance, "Since there are so many Optimus cranes, I didn't think about letting them all go back, now, it's our hunting time." ”

When the Six Dao Emperor Pu Jin heard this, he suddenly came to his senses, and they knew that Yunchen was going to fight back.

Yun Chen clapped his hands and called Yun Rong and them, "You guys hide here and don't move, take care of the injury, I'll go out and find a way to deal with the sword witch." ”

"What can you do, there are so many sword witches. When Yun Rong heard that Yun Chen was going to leave them behind to go on an adventure alone, he suddenly became anxious.

"Don't ask why, I said it. After Yunchen finished speaking, he was about to go back out of the valley, but Yun Jing Nishang followed left and right, and did not speak, just looked at him pitifully.

Yun Chen had no choice but to nod, and when he remembered something, he suddenly turned around, shook his head slightly in the direction where Yun Xue was, and motioned for her not to follow.

In this way, Yunchen walked out of the canyon where he was hiding with the six emperors Pujin Ni clothes Yunjing, and it rained heavily for a day and a night to connect the swamps under the hills, and in order to save time, they waded through the water from the foot of the mountain.

"Ni Shang, let's talk about it, how should we deal with the sword witch flying in the air?" On the way, Yunchen saw that Ni Sheng wanted to speak several times, and in order to prevent Ni Shang from making a mess, Yunchen simply asked her to say her idea first.

The miasma had completely recovered, but because of the loss of the red rope, her whole person still looked unenergetic, she put down the white cat in her arms, let it swim in the knee-high rain under their feet, got up and said: "Although the Optimus Crane has a strong stamina, but there will be a moment of fatigue, if the Sword Witch wants to carefully search such a large swamp mountain forest, at least a zero-hour camp will be set up here, and Da Ling'er will help us find this camp." ”

Liudao Emperor Pu Jin nodded in approval, saying that he could give it a try, you must know that the spell of the sword witch looks like the burning river and boiling the sea, which is more powerful than the sword qi of the sword cultivator, but there must be a short, the flexible surname of the sword witch and the tenacity of the body are not as good as the sword cultivator, although they can also perform light skills, but they are far worse than the light skills of sword cultivation, so they need to use formations and birds to assist. It is difficult for a Sword Sect to defeat a Sword Venerable with a protective vitality, but if a Sword Witch Venerable is close to a Sword Cultivator, it is very likely that he will be killed by a sneak attack by the Sword Master. Moreover, the Sword Witch successfully cast a spell, which was far slower than the Sword Cultivator's sword energy, if they could find a temporary camp without the protection of the formation, it would indeed be feasible to sneak attack.

Yunchen looked up at the gray sky with the rain flying through the lush branches and leaves, and prayed in his heart: "May this rain not stop." Then he lowered his head and asked, "Yun Jing, if you have any thoughts, say them too." ”

"Ahh ”

Huang Pujin shrunk his neck and snickered, Liudao was smiling but not smiling, but Yunchen was dumbfounded, he turned around and directly rejected Ni Shang's idea, "If Sword Witch wants to set up a temporary camp, he will only set up this camp in a relatively open swamp wetland, not a swampy mountain forest like the high mountains and dense forests here. ”

Everyone was right to think about it, in the place where they were attacked yesterday, the swampy wetland with relatively sparse trees and hills was the best choice for the Sword Witch, and in that place, as long as they appeared, it would be difficult for them to escape the eyes of the Sky Patrolling Sword Witch.

"It's hard for the Sword Witch to leave us any chance to sneak attack, so we need to create such opportunities ourselves. Yunchen said and looked at Ni Shang, "If you want to say that the light skill is the fastest, I'm afraid that you are the only one among us, and there is Da Ling'er following, and the crane can't catch up with the crane when he runs, so I don't need to ask for an explanation." ”

Nishang nodded knowingly, "But this place is too close to where we are hiding, and I'm afraid I'll expose them." ”

Yunchen shook his head, "Most smart people like to think about simple things as complicated, and Sword Witch couldn't think of it for a while, and we would attack them next to our own team. ”

Ni Shang stopped talking nonsense, and rode on the transformed Da Ling'er and ran towards the northeast edge of the swampy mountain forest, because where most of the cranes came from.

On a rainy day in Heze, there is no wind, and the rain curtain that fills the entire sky from afar is like a silk thread, dripping vertically like a bead curtain, giving people a strange beauty.

Ni Shang held Da Ling'er and lurked on a hill at the edge of the mountain forest, her face was full of water droplets, not only rain, but also tears, whenever she thought of the tragic death of Hua Hong, she was like a person who cried a lot, but only from the moment Hua Hong choked once, she never cried in front of everyone again, she couldn't affect the morale of the whole team to the extreme.

Ni Shang silently shed tears and looked at the Sky Cranes flying in front of him from time to time, and did not dare to show up for a long time, looking at the Sky Cranes were at least five in a formation, flying to the north, and then five more Sky Cranes immediately flew over the mountains and forests, Ni Shang knew that Yunchen was right, the Sword Witch set up camp on the swamp and wetland in the north, so that they did not have the slightest possibility of sneak attack.

Lurking from noon to evening, Ni Shang finally found an opportunity, these are two optimus cranes returning to the camp from the southeast, I don't know why, they should have been in a formation of five, but at this moment, only two of them are out of Nishang's field of vision.

Ni Shang no longer hesitated, decisively got up from the hidden hills, and trot all the way along the edge of the mountain forest to this relatively empty swamp wetland, soon, with a crane roar, the sword witch riding the sky crane had already seen in the heavy rain in the swamp full of water towards the mountain forest, they slightly changed the direction of the crane's flight, and rushed straight to the head-on, if they can stop this sword cultivator outside the mountain forest, it can make them spend a lot less time, Chu Ning has already explained, when he encounters a lone sword cultivator, if the other party's strength is not very strong, be sure to catch the mouth, and ask the whereabouts of the large group of sword cultivators。

Just as the two sword cultivators were approaching and preparing to perform the thundering technique and stun the embarrassed-looking Ni Shang below, Ni Shang suddenly grew long, like a brisk swift, flying into the mountain forest more than ten meters away.

"Chase!" The two sword witches immediately turned around and chased the neon clothes all the way in the air, although the mountains and forests were very obsessed with their view, but the slightest sound of the neon clothes moving below could be perceived by the Optimus Crane under them.

It wasn't until Ni Shang disappeared for a while that the white cat emerged from the place where Ni Shang had been hiding, squinted at the sky around him with its petite head, and saw that there were no other cranes rushing to help, so he jumped lightly down the hill and chased after Ni Shang in the swamp water, like a fish.

Yun Chen's four people still stayed in place, Yun Chen began to interrupt his cultivation for a long time, he knew how difficult it would be for Ni Shang to attract a lone Optimus Crane, but he had to be careful, the current Yuan Li was only enough to support the four Allure Cranes, and if he wanted to kill the Optimus Crane at a high altitude, he could only do it by using the lower part of the Allure City to double the killing distance after gathering sword qi into a point, plus he had to guard against emergencies, so this required that the number of Optimus Cranes attracted by Nishang should not exceed three.

Yun Jing loves to sleep more and more, even on such a rainy day. She sat on a rocky hill and dozed off with her hands on her knees, the raindrops dripping down the branches on her smooth back, splashing one after another, but they couldn't disturb her dreams.

Huang Pujin learned to cultivate like Yunchen, but he opened his eyes from time to time and glanced around, obviously his cultivation was just a show. There are only six ways, as time goes by, the worry on his face becomes heavier and heavier, and he wants to tell Yunchen several times that he is going to see Ni Shang, but the words come to his mouth and swallow again, because he knows that the weight of Ni Shang in Yun Chen's heart is not lighter than him, and just when he was about to say the words that came to his mouth for the fifth time, he suddenly heard a strange sound from the dense forest in front of him.

Liudao immediately nudged Yunchen, Yunchen didn't ask what was wrong when he opened his eyes, he turned over and floated directly towards a tall dark pine beside him, and after Huangpujin and Liudao hid their bodies, they found that Yun Jing was still sleeping there... Liudao just wanted to run over and shake the sleeping Yunjing awake, Yunchen on the tree suddenly made a "don't" gesture, and then, in the dense forest in front of her, there was a flying figure of Ni Yi, her face was still full of water droplets, there were no tears, but there were sweat beads in the raindrops.

On the top of Ni Shang's head, the two Optimus Cranes kept a height of more than ten meters from the top of the tree and stared at the Ni Shang below, they wanted to exhaust the prey below and then make plans, but they never thought that they would become prey riding on the top of the Optimus Crane.
