Chapter 209: Diverting the Tiger from the Mountain

Ye Yan's approach was the opposite of the suzerain's suggestion, and he was using defensive tactics to stall for time.

Use the defense of the iron wall of soldiers and ghosts to block the ghost tide, and then use the super spell of the Yaksha ghost to bombard, this is the most efficient tactic to kill the ghost tide, and it can also control the loss of the ghost sea to a minimum, if Ye Yan and the ghost tide start a confrontation, the loss of the ghost sea will definitely soar!

Besides, Ye Yan's purpose is to use the ghost tide to ward off the ghosts, and the longer the battle drags on, the stronger the effect of the ghost resists! He can't wait to fight for a year and a half, and raise the level of the ghost sea to enough for him to break through the Jindan stage.

The opportunity is rare, now he has 160,000 ghost servants, and only a large-scale ghost tide can meet his needs for ghost herding. How easy is it to find a large-scale ghost tide? It's hard to say whether the sea of death sand will hit a second wave. Even if he was allowed to encounter it, if it weren't for the high-level monks who helped him clear the powerful existence in the ghost tide, it would be difficult for him to shepherd the ghosts so easily, and he would inevitably suffer heavy losses if he reluctantly did it.

Therefore, Ye Yan seized the rare opportunity to delay the battle as much as possible, and when it was dawn, he was able to get a glimpse of the scale of the ghost tide, and when he looked around, he saw the overwhelming ghost tide, which seemed to be endless, and this scale made him very satisfied. Ready to fight a protracted battle, Yeyan fought unhurriedly with the controllers, and at the same time informed those high-level monks that they didn't have to waste mana to deal with the ghost guards, just defeat the ghost generals in the ghost tide.

Ye Yan's practice is definitely worth it, with the blessing of the ghost husbandry, the level of the ghost servant has increased rapidly, and the rich ghost qi is equivalent to the elixir used by the monk for the ghost servant.

In addition to the perverted existence of yaksha ghosts, the vast majority of ghosts are melee and do not consume much mana, and the blessing of ghost husbandry and the nourishment of ghost qi make the mana of ghost servants recover quickly. Until now, the mana of the ghost servant has not only not decreased, but has skyrocketed again and again, just like a monk who has used the Heavenly Ascending Pill.

I don't know when, a ghost guard appeared in the sea of ghosts!

As the body of the spirit emperor, Ye Yan's own cultivation will not restrict the promotion of the ghost servant, and it is not surprising that the ghost servant has advanced to the ghost guard equivalent to the Jindan monk one step ahead of him, and with the first one, there will be a second one.

The level of the ghost not only determines what kind of realm it finally advances to, but also affects the speed of the promotion of the ghost servant, the first to advance to the ghost guard is the best ghost, followed by the high-grade ghost servant, and then the middle-grade ghost.

A week later, the number of ghost guards in the sea of ghosts has exceeded five hundred, of course, this change can't escape Lian Wushuang's discerning eyes, she silently looked at Ye Yan, a pair of beautiful eyes flickered, secretly wondering how many secrets this kid is hiding?

It is impossible for Lian Wushuang to reuse and cultivate a disciple who she does not know the details, she tries to find out the details of Ye Yan, but every time she snoops on one of Ye Yan's secrets, she will find that this kid has a bigger secret.

Lian Wushuang has seen the monks who use the Ghost Sea Yang Wei, those so-called Ghost Seas are purely won by numbers, and use the terrifying number of the Ghost Sea to fight a war of attrition. But Yeyan's ghost sea is different, this ghost sea is composed of special ghosts, each ghost is the existence of ghost pawns, and the soldiers are unstoppable! If the ghost sea can still be promoted...... , this kid is really going against the sky!

Ye Yan is paying close attention to the promotion of ghost servants, and ghost servants above the middle grade can have been promoted to ghost guards, and it is normal for them to successfully advance to ghost guards under the catalysis of ghost herding. But the frenzied promotion didn't last long, and it soon stopped.

The current situation is that all the ghost servants above the middle grade have been promoted to the ghost guard, and all the ghost servants who stay in the ghost pawn stage are the ghost servants of the lower grade, and it is obvious that the promotion to the ghost pawn has reached the limit of the lower grade ghost servant, and they are at the peak of the ghost pawn, but they cannot break through to the ghost guard.

Due to the ghost guards who couldn't be promoted, it would be a waste for these low-grade ghost servants to absorb more ghost energy!, but it was impossible for Ye Yan to put away these low-grade ghost servants. Although the top-grade and top-grade ghost servants have more potential for cultivation, they are too precious, and the main force is always these inconspicuous low-grade ghost servants when playing ghost sea tactics.

The battle did not end because of Ye Yan's stunned spirit, and the killing never stopped for a moment, and the ghosts that turned into ghosts became thicker and thicker after they hung up, as if a layer of dark fog shrouded the ghosts of both sides.

The terrifying scale of the ghost tide is destined to be a protracted battle, Ye Yan did not adjust his tactics, but was trying his best to control the loss of the ghost sea, those ghost servants who advanced to the ghost guard did not stop upgrading, after they broke through to the stage of the ghost guard, they moved to a higher level.

Those low-grade ghost servants made Ye Yan depressed, they stayed at the peak of the ghost pawns, it was obviously impossible to advance to the ghost guard, but they were still greedily absorbing the ghost qi. The ghost pawns couldn't contain too much mana, they absorbed too much ghost energy, and those ghost qi were automatically converted into mana, and the mana gathered in their bodies to a terrifying level.

This kind of saturation beyond the limit will immediately explode on the monk's body, but the ghost servants will not, because they don't have the body in the first place, so they can be in this super saturated state for a long time. This kind of saturation beyond the limit is the best state to urge the ghost servant to advance, which is equivalent to the human monk using an elixir that exceeds his own limit, but he does not have to worry about the risk of exploding.

Suddenly, another ghost servant broke through to the ghost guard stage.

Ye Yan stared at it with round eyes, and he could be 100% sure that this guy who had just been promoted to the Ghost Guard was just a low-grade ghost servant.

This unexpected promotion is very significant, far more than the first promotion. You must know that it is natural for the best ghost servant to be promoted to the ghost guard, and this low-grade ghost servant can also be promoted to the ghost guard, which represents endless opportunities. Ye Yan has 160,000 low-grade ghost servants, as long as he wants to catch more, low-grade ghost servants are the main force of the ghost sea!

It's the same as before, it didn't take long for Ye Yan to wait for the second to advance to the lower grade ghost servants of the ghost guard, the third, and the fourth, admiring the ghost guards that kept appearing in the sea of ghosts, Ye Yan's heart blossomed. There is also a new understanding of the use of ghost herding.

According to the records of Hades, ghost shepherdism can improve the quality of ghost servants and help them advance. For a long time, Ye Yan mistakenly believed that the ghost herding technique was to train the ghost servants, and finally achieve the purpose of sharpening the ghost servants. Now it seems that his method is too gentle, it is simply a mistake! The method of using ghost herding is to push the ghost servant to the limit when the ghost servant reaches a bottleneck!

It was not difficult for the onlookers to judge that Ye Yan was using the battle with the ghost tide to improve the ghost sea. Originally, she thought that Ye Yan really didn't need to come to the Death Sand Sea, this kind of hunting was not only dangerous, but also delayed her cultivation time. But from the analysis of the current situation, Ye Yan's coming to the Sea of Death Sand is targeted, and it is definitely not a whim!

Once she was sure that Ye Yan was a person with a plan, she could easily deduce that Ye Yan had gone to the Endless Sea for a reason, not for fun, or to hide from anyone.

The mood of looking forward to the upgrade of the ghost servants made the battle no longer boring, however, the ghost herding technique was not a panacea! When the number of ghost guards was about to break through the 60,000 mark, the promotion of the ghost sea stopped again. This time it was different from the previous time, but the real limit, Ye Yan waited for three more days, and still couldn't wait for a ghost servant to advance, thus confirming his judgment.

According to Hades' record of ghost husbandry, only some ghosts can be promoted, and more than one-third of the lower-grade ghost servants have broken through to the ghost guard stage, this result has made Ye Yan very satisfied, especially the three thousand Yaksha ghosts he cherishes the most have all been successfully promoted to the ghost guard without exception, which simply makes him happy!

Yeyan has always believed that you can't be too greedy, you must know how to accept what you see. Also, the spell of Hades guards it, and it must not be used again in the future!

Of course, the battle is not meaningless, and those ghost servants who have successfully broken through to the ghost guard stage are already using the rich ghost qi to attack the higher stage.

The battle lasted for another week, and it is not difficult to imagine that if it weren't for the help of the Ghost Sea, these high-level monks, this flying boat, would never have been able to support it until now under the attack of the Ghost Tide. And now, the hunting party miraculously survived to the end of this war.

Suddenly, the flying boat, which had been struggling in the ghost tide for weeks, was overturned, and the huge flying boat smashed to the ground with a loud bang, and the dust kicked up covered the sky.

"Be careful, there's a big guy showing up. Elder Mei immediately raised the alarm, because Zhang Yuan wanted to control the flying boat, and Ye Yan, the commander, had been appreciating his ghost servant promotion from beginning to end, the person who actually commanded this battle was Elder Mei, and with his order, more than a dozen high-ranking monks quickly got out of the battle, and Ye Yan was protected from the wind and rain.

This kind of measure is not only because Ye Yan's cultivation is too low, but also out of strategic considerations, the ghost sea is the key to victory, and the Ye Yan who controls the ghost sea has naturally become the target of key protection!

In the wild sand flying in the sky, a powerful existence was surrounded by twelve ghost generals, killing violently.

"It's a ghost! Elder Mei spat out a mouthful of sand, and his voice suddenly raised by three points.

The ghost handsome is comparable to the existence of the god stage monk, and it is one order higher than the monk of the hunting team, and the gap of this level is enough for the ghost handsome to kill the Yuan infant stage monk in seconds! Not to mention that this ghost handsome is not alone, it has the help of the ghost tide, and there are twelve ghost generals who will cooperate with him.

At the moment when the ghost shuai appeared, the fighting spirit of the ghost tide seemed to be ignited in an instant! At first, they just slapped towards the embankment like waves, wave after wave, but at this moment, it was like a terrifying tsunami driven by a hurricane.

Don't look at the ghost handsome's body is only slightly larger than the ghost general, but the momentum is completely different! Its armor is obviously different from ordinary soldiers and ghosts, even if it is now made of ghost energy, it is not difficult for people to imagine how gorgeous the armor it wore before its death.

The ghost sea can barely hold the ghost general, but the loss is greater, and for the existence of the ghost handsome, the ghost sea's blocking is useless.

The ghost handsome raged unhindered in the sea of ghosts, and where it passed, the sea of ghosts was annihilated in pieces. Although the twelve ghost generals who followed it did not have the ability to shuttle through the sea of ghosts themselves, they could follow its steps like bamboos!

The advantage of the ghost sea lies in consumption, once it encounters an unstoppable opponent, this advantage is gone, and the ghost handsome is this kind of irresistible existence! This is also the reason why Ye Yan does not dare to argue with the sect master, he can conclude that the sect master who seems to be full of charms must be even stronger than this ghost handsome! And it is also very cunning!

At this moment, Ye Yan still did not forget to reduce his losses, and all the ghost servants who were promoted to the ghost guard were all withdrawn, leaving only about 100,000 ghost pawns as cannon fodder. It's not that Ye Yan picks the door, it's really that under the powerful offensive of the ghost handsome, there is not much difference between the ghost guard and the ghost pawn, but for Ye Yan, the difference is too big.

"Do you want this seat to help?" Lian Wushuang witnessed the ghost handsome rampant, and finally couldn't bear it, she didn't make a move at first to observe Ye Yan's ability, and at the moment of life and death, she would not see death without help. It is very obvious that the hunting team is powerless to deal with the ghost handsome, at least it is not easy to deal with.

"No, I don't. Ye Yan didn't want to refuse.

"Do you want to die for the sake of face, let the brother who was born and die take the risk?" Lian Wushuang was quite surprised by his refusal, in her impression, Ye Yan was by no means a person who wanted to save face. It seems that when the flame monitor lizard unleashed a flame storm, this kid hid behind her without even thinking about it.

"Since we are going to move this large-scale ghost tide, we have prepared a plan to deal with the ghost commander in advance. What is a hunt that is not adventurous? We are capable of coping with it. "When Yeyan was hunting fish monsters in the Endless Sea, only one-third of the monks who returned to the harbor alive were left, and an average of one out of three monks survived. This is real hunting! Hunting kills, and the high monks of hunting are willing to accept this price. A group of battle-hardened high-ranking monks, under the protection of a woman, what are you kidding?

In contrast, the hunting of the sect is like playing at home, when hunting, there must be more than ten warships to escort it, and there must be a master in charge, once something happens, the master in charge rushes over and slaps the prey to death. That's not called hunting, that's called an outing!

Moreover, the current situation is not so dangerous, he has encountered it in the Endless Sea, and with the skill of speaking, Elder Mei has already led more than a dozen high-level monks to fight their way out of the encirclement, and they fled on flying horses. The flying boat also stumbled into the air under Zhang Yuan's control, and chased after Elder Mei under the siege of the ghost tide.

The two groups of men and horses broke through at this time not to escape, but out of consideration for diverting the tiger from the mountain and minimizing casualties.

As long as the cultivation of Elder Mei and the others is not on the ghost handsome, it is still more than enough to protect themselves, so the flying boat controlled by Zhang Yuan is postponed, although the ghost handsome is strong, but it cannot break through the defensive cover of the flying boat. With proper coordination, they will not be in danger for a short time.

More than a dozen monks and the bait of a flying boat were enough to lure the ghost handsome away. When the threat of the ghost commander disappeared, Ye Yan decisively gave an order to the remaining monks to fight quickly!

Every second from now on was exchanged for the lives of the brothers, and the high-ranking monks who stayed behind understood this truth, and when they killed the ghosts, they were like mad beasts.

Ye Yan first released the retracted ghost guard again, and then he also killed the ghost tide.

The undead barrier is no longer erected to protect the body, but replaced by a straight arrangement, like a high-speed rotating blade, those ghost tides that flock to Yeyan have not yet approached Yeyan, they are being stirred into a mass of ghost qi, even if it is some ghost pawns, the existence of the ghost guard escapes with the help of ghost flash, it is not a threat to him.

The undead barrier is an offensive and defensive spiritual weapon, this is its attack form, the defensive effect of the undead barrier in the attack form is minimized, but the killing efficiency is not lost to the attacking spirit weapon.

Ye Yan adopted such an unrestrained style of play on the one hand because of the urgency of time, and on the other hand, it was also because those high-level monks knew that most of the ghost guards had been lost. With his current cultivation, he is not afraid of one or two ghost guards who occasionally break in.

When Yeyan has the ability not to be killed in seconds, it is natural to think that attack is the best defense. Although the undead barrier gave up defense, it turned defense into strangulation. His ghost slash is also constantly releasing strangulation, under this double strangulation, there are very few ghost tides that can break into his side, there is nothing to worry about, even if there are ghosts who break into the defense line formed by the double strangulation, he still has a ghost shield to protect himself. How long can those intruding ghosts last in the strangulation?

However, he didn't know how shocking the scene of a foundation-building monk controlling two top-grade spiritual weapons to release attacks at the same time! Even the mana of a monk in the Yuan Infant Stage was not enough to squander it like this.

Lian Wushuang frowned, as if trying to think of something, she had discovered enough secrets in Ye Yan, and she was trying to connect them. What's more, she recognized Ye Yan's strategy, as long as Ye Yan was still in control of the situation, she didn't have to make a move.

Although the number of ghost tides was numerous, after a long time of fighting, it had become the end of a strong crossbow, and under the full encirclement of everyone, it took only one night to clean up. Before Ye Yan and a group of high-ranking monks who had finished the battle had time to catch their breath, Zhang Yuan's flying boat turned back in a hurry.

Zhang Yuan's standard battleship is not as good as a top-level battleship, although it is protected by a defensive cover, but being chased and beaten by a ghost commander and twelve ghost generals is really unbearable, and if it continues to hold on, it will be shot apart. Later, more than a dozen high-ranking monks led by Elder Mei also returned in disgrace.

The ghost handsome who lost the ghost tide as his support was like a tiger with his teeth removed, Zhang Yuan also led the monks on the flying boat to help in the battle, plus the men led by Elder Mei and Ye Yan, the three people and horses could easily be contained in one place.

After the high-ranking monk was replaced by Zhang Yuan's command, the battle suddenly became orderly.

Zhang Yuan first divided the people into two teams, one team was led by him to entangle the ghost handsome, and the other team was led by Elder Mei, looking for an opportunity to kill the twelve ghost generals who followed the ghost handsome.

Waiting for Elder Mei to eliminate the twelve ghost generals, the battle became easier. It is not difficult for eighty infancy monks to fight against a ghost handsome, not to mention that these monks are all experienced figures, and they cooperate with each other tacitly.

Fighting until the early morning of the next day, the lonely ghost commander was easily defeated.

Yeyan's ghost sea still stayed outside, continuing to absorb the remnants of the battlefield's ghost energy, although the battle was over, it would take at least a few days for these ghost qi to completely dissipate, it would be a pity to waste it. On the other side, Zhang Yuan and Elder Mei were counting the results.

Hung up two high-ranking monks and wounded seven people. Considering that this battle was fought with eighty monks to challenge a large ghost tide, this level of price was simply a miracle! Therefore, those high-ranking monks did not feel very depressed, but only toasted three bowls of wine for the dead monks and healed the wounded high-ranking monks, they were obviously used to this step.

Compared to the small price, the gains of this battle are absolutely shocking!

The results of the ghost hunt are easy to count, all the gains are ghosts, and the high-level monks will hand over all the ghosts they have collected and put them into the ten thousand ghost flags vacant in Yeyan for identification, and the quality of the ghosts can be distinguished from the color, which is clear at a glance.

The work of counting the number of ghosts was carried out by Elder Mei, upholding the principles of fairness, justice, and openness, and monks who were not at ease could count them again on their own. It's just that Elder Mei is notoriously upright and has a fiery temper, if anyone questions his fairness, it is purely unpleasant, even Ye Yan, who has always been suspicious, is too lazy to count, Boss Mei is as much as he says.

"The last ghost to kill was a top-grade ghost, and there were seventy-three top-grade ghosts. "Elder Mei's letter was not in vain, knowing that no one would question his integrity, he still counted it twice very carefully.

The high-ranking monks present would not question the amount reported by Elder Mei, but they were secretly calculating that a top-grade ghost could be exchanged for an attack-type high-grade spirit weapon, and if the top-grade ghost was added, the harvest of this battle was quite good, of course, the benefits distributed to them were not so much, and the owner of the flying boat would have to share half of the benefits.

"In addition, there are four thousand three hundred and twenty-two medium-grade ghosts. "Because there were too many mid-grade ghosts, Elder Mei counted for a long time, and he counted incorrectly twice halfway, so he could only count them again. I have to admit his serious attitude, the medium-grade ghost is not worth much, and it is not easy to get rid of it, but he still has to calculate it clearly.

"How many low-grade ghosts are there?" Ye Yan asked very unscrupulously, doesn't the old man like to count, the master let you count enough!

"Is this?" "Elder Mei has a limit even if he is serious, genuine ghosts are worth some spirit stones, he spent his effort to count them clearly, and it is reasonable, the number of low-grade ghosts is too much, and besides, they can't be sold at all, what's the use of counting clearly?

At this time, it is easy to see a person's quality clearly from his personal performance, Zhang Yuan is a strong evil smile, and he also urges Elder Mei to make a few clear, and those high-level monks are also similar to Zhang Yuan's performance.

The sect master and the little goblin don't echo someone's bad taste, and they all glanced at Ye Yan in unison, is there such a bully of you kid to be honest?

Although Elder Mei's surname is Gengzhi, he has a fiery temper, and his cultivation is also the highest among everyone.

Except for Ye Yan on this flying boat, the others really didn't dare to make fun of him. However, he recognized Ye Yan's ability and character very much, and said seriously to Ye Yan's concession: "These inferior ghosts are not worth any spirit stones, and it is not easy to get rid of them. ”

It was useless for these low-grade ghosts to be distributed to other monks, but they were very useful for Yeyan. He saw that he was about to enter the ranks of the Jindan period, and he was worried that the ghosts were not enough, how could he let those high-level monks divide the low-grade ghosts, and immediately proposed, "If I only see it, don't divide it, I will buy all the ghosts harvested from this hunt at the market price, and how about a hundred high-grade spirit stones for the high-grade ghosts?"

"We have caught a total of seventy-three top-grade ghosts, and if we buy them at the price of one hundred top-grade spirit stones, it will be seven thousand three hundred top-grade spirit stones. Elder Mei reminded him in time, and calculated the spirit stones needed for Ye Yan, which was not a small amount! Not to mention that Ye Yan would not be able to buy more than eighty top-grade ghosts.

"You think I can't count?" Ye Yan asked rhetorically, as if she had been insulted.

Nalan Cai was still rolling her eyes at first, but in a blink of an eye, she couldn't help laughing, with her understanding of Ye Yan, Ye Yan must have taken down all the ghosts she captured, not only the high-grade ghosts, but also the middle-grade and low-grade ghosts. The only thing that surprised her was that Ye Yan's price was very fair, and the high-grade ghosts were almost at this price, perhaps, this was Ye Yan's attitude towards her friends.

(To be continued)
