Chapter Ninety-Eight: Hints of the Nine Rank Demon Beasts

The matter of revenge, you can slow it down now, and the matter of finding a gathering place can also be slowed down, after all, revenge is not in a hurry, Fang Chang Linhai and they are having a good time in Qingxu Cave for the time being, and there is no need to worry, what they have to do now is to maintain their advantage on the annual list, kill more demon beasts, earn more spirit stones, and wait for the innate Gengjin essence to arrive.

It seemed that Fang Rui didn't need to do much else during this time, he just needed to wait for the time to come, and then get the innate Gengjin essence that was already in his pocket, and that would be fine......

With Zhao Wushuang's withdrawal, Fang Rui's first advantage has been completely no one can resist, in fact, the points he has obtained now have exceeded Zhao Wushuang's points, originally thought that it would take four months to catch up with the gap, with the growth of Fang Rui's strength, began to be filled faster, and now Cui Yan, who is ranked second, is far from being able to compare with Fang Rui in terms of points.

However, recently, Ji Renfeng and Tian Dan's life does not seem to be too easy.

I don't know what's wrong.,The demon beasts that emerged in the Demon Beast Forest,The number has increased a lot compared to before.,Almost every day, there are more than before.,Stronger demon beasts are willing to hit the defense line guarded by the local garrison.,Interestingly,The ability they showed,It's not enough to break through the defense line guarded by the garrison.,But it's causing more pressure on the garrison.。

In the past, it was quite easy, but now, every batch of monks who have withdrawn are tired to death, and basically after they come back, they will fall asleep and recover their lost energy, so the effect of the trial seems to be much worse.

Ji Renfeng and Tian Dan are naturally very dissatisfied with this, the army is stationed here, the main effect is to exercise their courage and ability to see blood, if it continues like this, the sergeants will not only not get exercised, but will become more and more tired, although it is only a small matter, but it may have an impact on the overall military movement of the Eastern Qi State.

So after discussing with the Fangzi battalion led by Ji Qingfeng, Ji Renfeng and Tian Dan decided to do an experiment.

On this day, the number of monks guarding one of the intersections increased from one battalion to two.

The first battalion of people under the command of Ji Renfeng, plus the Fangzi battalion, has a thousand monks who have cultivated to the highest level of the fifth rank and the lowest to the second rank, which is twice the strength of the previous one-mile defense area.

However, after six hours, the two battalions of men and horses were still tired to death, as if they knew that the defensive strength in this direction had doubled, and the number of demon beasts attacking this direction had also doubled!

"This situation is very strange, it seems that the demon beasts don't want to tear their faces with us, but what good can they do by dragging us like this?"

Ji Renfeng sat on a wooden mound covered in blood, and said with a puzzled face, the offensive force has become stronger and stronger in the past few days, and the monks don't even have the strength to retreat, and every time they rely on him to take his relatives to break off, although this is nothing to him, but it is too complicated.

Tian Dan is not much better than him, but he is calm by nature, and his thinking is much deeper than Ji Renfeng, and he has been bowing his head and pondering.

"What's wrong, do you have anything in mind?"

Hetian Dan is used to partnering, and Ji Renfeng is too lazy to think about it himself.

"I'm thinking...... Is this a signal from the demon beasts?" Tian Dan said with his head tilted.

"Aren't demon beasts without thinking and organization?" Ji Qingfeng, who was listening, was stunned, and Tian Xingjian and Kedi, who were following her, also nodded at the same time.

"There are none of the eight products, but the nine products are different. Ji Renfeng said with a smile.

"There are some things you don't know...... But it's okay to know. In fact, the demon beasts that have reached the ninth rank can already be said to be beyond the category of demon beasts, they have sanity, can communicate with people, and are very rational...... So a long time ago, the Nine Rank Demon Beasts had an agreement with the powerhouses of various countries, that is, humans could hunt demon beasts at will, but they couldn't attack any Nine Rank Demon Beasts, if there was a demand, they could use the unique elixir of human beings to find the Nine Rank Demon Beasts to exchange the materials they needed, because many of the materials that only exist on the Nine Rank Demon Beasts can be taken down at will, and they are of little use to them, or some of the top medicinal materials in the territory of the Nine Rank Demon Beasts, they will not refine them themselves...... Under such circumstances, we monks and the Nine Rank Demon Beasts are generally peaceful, each taking what he needs, and everyone is just trying to live a better life, and there is no need to fight to the death. ”

Listening to Tian Dan's words, several young people showed expressions at the same time.

"Why would the Nine Rank Demon Beasts agree to such a condition, after all, so many of their kind die under our hands every day......" Ji Qingfeng suddenly asked.

"Little sister, don't forget jì, demon beasts are different from us humans, they have many types...... We monks can live peacefully with those mortals because we were human beings before we became monks, and as human beings, we have feelings...... What about demon beasts? Demon beasts may also have feelings, but they will not be too strong, for those nine-rank demon beasts who have spiritual intelligence and have transcended the body of demon beasts, those demon beasts without divine intelligence cannot be regarded as their kind, so use these demon beasts to exchange their own safety, and at the same time trade with us humans, which is a condition that they can accept. We don't want to kill those demon beasts, but the materials we need, will the demon beasts know how to exchange with us? No, they don't understand, so only we can get them ourselves, this is the difference between the Nine Rank Demon Beasts and other demon beasts. Ji Renfeng explained.

"There is a more important reason. Tian Dan laughed slightly: "The fertility of demon beasts is much stronger than that of us humans...... If some of them are not killed by us, after there are too many of them, they will also kill each other, and those nine-rank demon beasts also understand this...... Instead of killing each other to seize resources, it is better to sacrifice some demon beasts and let other demon beasts have room to survive, so as to evolve into more nine-grade demon beasts, and their partners will also become more. ”

The three young people were speechless at the same time, it turned out that there was such an factor......

But it's no wonder that the resources consumed by a one-grade demon beast are much larger than a hundred or a thousand mortals, and mortals can be self-sufficient, and the things that grow out of a piece of land are enough for them to consume for many years, what about demon beasts? The Eastern Qi military and monks kill so many demon beasts every year, which invisibly adds more living space to other demon beasts.

"Far from it. ”

Tian Dan waved his hand: "The Nine Rank Demon Beasts are able to command demon beasts that are much lower than their own level, for so many years, the number of each batch of demon beasts that rushed out of the Demon Beast Forest has been in a situation where we can just deal with it, and it is also an agreement between the Nine Rank Demon Beasts and us, and this time, they suddenly changed this agreement, but it was just enough for the demon beasts not to break through our defense line, and even after we strengthened our military strength accordingly, they also strengthened their impact accordingly...... This should not be accidental, but they are intentional. ”

"Then what's the point of them doing this?" Ji Renfeng said with a frown, which was also something he couldn't figure out.

"The Nine Rank Demon Beasts all live in the deepest part of the Hengduan Mountain Range, and they can't cross the blockade between the Third Mountain Range and the Second Mountain Range. ”

Tian Dan casually drew a few strokes on the ground, drawing a route map of the entire Hengduan Mountain Range, the Demon Beast Forest is not big, behind the Demon Beast Forest, it is the first mountain range that occupies more than a hundred times the area of the Demon Beast Forest, then the second mountain range, the third mountain range, except for most of the first mountain range and a small part of the second mountain range bordering the Demon Beast Forest, the third mountain range is firmly blocked by the front two mountain ranges, and it is impossible to approach the Demon Beast Forest.

"This kind of seal is to ensure that the demon beasts that rush out of the demon beast forest are only six grades at the highest, and the demon beasts that are higher than the sixth rank will either be killed by us in the process of transformation, or return to the third mountain range to survive, and the nine rank demon beasts are all active in the third mountain range, and they will often drive the demon beasts below the seventh rank out of the third mountain range to ensure that their activity space and resources are sufficient. ”

"Therefore, if the Nine Rank Demon Beasts want to communicate with us about something, they will not be able to come to us directly, because the seal of the Third Mountain Range is very powerful, and it is all a seal laid by the monks of the Escape Period, even if it is a Nine Rank Demon Beast, it will not be able to break such a seal without alarming others, once it is broken, the bosses of the Escape Period will be alarmed, and when they make a move, even the Nine Rank Demon Beasts will not be able to please them. ”

"In such a situation, if the Nine Rank Demon Beast wants to communicate with us, then it can only use this method...... Increase the number of monsters that come at us, let us sense that something is wrong, and then wait for us to meet them. ”

After saying so much in a row, Tian Dan's thinking is becoming clearer and clearer, although this qiē is all speculation, but it is the only truth that can make sense at this moment.

"Damn, you actually want us to go to the third mountain range to see them? To be honest, Lao Tian, I am sure to defeat an eight-rank demon beast, and it will be very difficult for me to come to two, as for the nine-grade demon beast...... I definitely can't handle it. Ji Renfeng said with some surprise.

"I can't deal with it, but we have to go, because we have a duty to defend the land...... Now it's not that the line of defense is going to be breached, and even if we report it, it will only prove our incompetence...... The Nine Rank Demon Beasts definitely want to talk to us about something, and if they want to discuss it with the monks of the Escape Period, they can directly break the seal and alarm those people. Tian Dan said flatly: "I'll take a group of strong people to go, you stay here, if I can't come back...... You report upwards. ”

"Shut up. Ji Renfeng unceremoniously pointed at Tian Dan's nose: "Don't forget jì, Lao Tian, you are only bringing a private army, and Lao Tzu is bringing a regular border army...... The supreme commander here is me, and if I want to go, I have to go. ”

"Okay, you go, your personal combat power is higher than mine, and it's easier to escape. Tian Dan agreed.

"You kid didn't set me up, did you......"

Ji Renfeng scolded with a smile, and then looked at Ji Qingfeng.

"I'll go with you, brother. Ji Qingfeng said.

"Forget it, if you hurt a single hair, my mother will probably kill me. Ji Renfeng shook his head: "I think I'll take my four personal soldiers and your two men...... Tian Xingjian, defeat the enemy, you two boys are making rapid progress now, they are both at the peak of the fourth grade, this time follow Lao Tzu to meet the world, maybe you can break through to the fifth grade. ”

Tian Xingjian and Ke Wei glanced at each other, and agreed with a wry smile, but they also knew that Ji Renfeng asked them to go, and if something happened, they must have to go first, they have rich experience in defeating the enemy, and Tian Xingjian has rich experience in escaping, as long as they see the opportunity to act a little, there will be no danger.

"Actually...... I can call one more person, Fang Rui, that kid. Ji Renfeng touched his chin and said deliberately.

Ji Qingfeng's eyes immediately lit up.
