Chapter 329: Heavy losses
"City Lord!"
Lai Hao strode in from the outside, and said after clasping his fists at Chen Xi, "In the past two days, small groups of abyss beasts have appeared more and more frequently, and the surrounding small cities and villages have almost been destroyed, and the scope of our scouts' activities is getting smaller and smaller, they seem to be consciously destroying the surrounding areas of Blue Star City, making us a lonely city." ”
Chen Xi snorted, looking at the map and frowning deeply. Meow had already brought back the news, and he knew that it was an extraordinary army of abyssal beasts. Therefore, he has not agreed to the plan proposed by Lai Hao and others to raid like last time. This time the opponent is different from the last time, not only is the number larger, but also the combat effectiveness is obviously not to be underestimated.
"What shall we do?"
Lai Hao asked a little impatiently.
He was a little anxious in his heart, if the abyssal beast continued like this, he would destroy all the supplies that Blue Star City could find, and then besiege Blue Star City, maybe Blue Star City would not be able to hold out for half a month, and those people would run out of food. For cultivators, it can be persistent, but for ordinary people, it is a disaster. If you don't take the initiative, the situation will get worse when the Abyssal Beast completes the encirclement. He had studied the art of war since he was a child, and knew that it was a bit dangerous to do so, but in his opinion, it was the right choice for now.
"City Lord, although from the point of view of intelligence, it seems that the opponent this time is more powerful. But it's not that we don't have the experience to take the initiative, and the Abyssal Beasts think that we haven't discovered the location of their army yet. And they probably wouldn't have guessed that we would be able to go out of the city and raid. The subordinates are willing to lead a team to the battle, as long as the enemy's deployment is disrupted, the abyssal beast may not dare to attack rashly. ”
"Lai Hao. ”
Chen Xi raised his head and looked at him: "What is our advantage? Our strongest weapon can't attack the abyss beast of Cuiping Mountain, and without the strongest weapon, what can we use to fight hard with the enemy's powerful army? The success of the last night's raid does not mean that we can succeed every time. ”
"Why did the Abyssal Beast send so many small teams to attack the surroundings of Blue Star City, instead of the large army pressing? Yes, you could say that it was because they wanted to destroy all the supplies in Blue Star City, but did you ever think that the Abyssal Beast might have another purpose in doing so?"
Lai Hao said: "Did the city lord overestimate the wisdom of the abyssal beasts? These days, the abyssal beasts have indeed shown their wisdom, but compared to people, their wisdom is like that of a six- or seven-year-old child. ”
"You go out first, and prepare for battle. ”
Chen Xi shook his head: "Don't mention the matter of the raid out of the city for the time being, let me think about it." ”
Lai Hao opened his mouth, but finally retreated silently.
After leaving Chen Xi's room, Lai Hao returned to the city wall to set up defenses. One of the Spirit Mountain Realm cultivators who took turns on duty today was brought by Gao Qingshu and Chen Dingdang, and his name was Lei Meng. He originally practiced on Hutuo Mountain in Qingzhou by himself and didn't ask about the world, so his temper was a little weird. After arriving in Blue Star City, because they were directly assigned to Lai Hao's side, the two of them communicated more, so the relationship was good.
Seeing that Lai Hao's face was a little disappointed, Raymond came over and asked, "The city lord doesn't agree to the raid?"
Lai Hao nodded: "Actually, what the city lord said is right, our strongest point lies in defense. Once you leave Blue Star City, the power of the [Xuanwu Tower] is meaningless. Moreover, only within a certain range, the city lord can get the power of the [Xuanwu Tower] to be promoted to the Cave Realm. Leaving this range, the strength of the city lord is not as good as that of the king of the abyssal beasts. ”
Because it involved secrets, Chen Xi didn't tell everyone that his power actually came from the [Dragon Vein Spirit]. He told everyone that the [Xuanwu Trident] was an artifact brought back from Kunlun Mountain, called [Xuanwu Tower]. His power was also obtained from the [Xuanwu Pagoda]. Chen Xi's refusal to tell them the truth was also for the sake of safety, and there might not be people who coveted the power of the [Dragon Vein Spirit].
Raymond snorted: "It's just a coward, I killed all the way from Qingzhou, what kind of abyss beast haven't I seen? The abyss beast that died in my hands is not eight hundred, but also five hundred, that kid is a little unsuitable to be the city lord." I thought that the young man would be the leader, at least he would have determination and momentum, but I didn't expect Chen Xi to be a timid person. Actually, there is no need to wait for his orders, if you think it is the right thing to do, then do it. ”
Lai Hao hesitated for a while, but finally shook his head: "You must follow the orders of the city lord, the city lord is the only leader, and his words cannot be disobeyed." ”
Raymond sighed: "It seems that I am still not suitable for being with many people, and I am still more comfortable fighting alone." You can do whatever you want, and in a while you go and help me talk to the city lord, and say that I, Raymond, are leaving. ”
Lai Hao was stunned for a moment: "The city lord is actually a very good person, and he is far calmer than us, why should you bother?"
Raymond said: "You don't need to persuade me anymore, you can go and help me." After all, my father and I knew each other, and it would be a bit too much for me to say it myself. ”
Lai Hao saw that Lei Meng had made up his mind, and persuaded him a few more words, but he had no choice but to go to see Chen Xi again
"Oh no!"
Just as Chen Xi and Lai Hao were talking while walking, someone shouted loudly from outside. At this time, Chen Xi was instructing those elites to plant spirit grass in the space, and when Lai Hao found him, he was developing how to improve the healing effect of spirit grass, and then made it into pills and distributed it. Gao Qingshu was making zuò spirit thunder from a distance, and he was also choosing something that could be used. Chen Xi and the others brought back a lot of treasures from Kunlun Mountain, and Gao Qingshu was like a treasure after seeing it.
Seeing that Chen Xi was busy, Lai Hao was not embarrassed to immediately tell Raymond that he was leaving. After waiting for a while, I saw that Chen Xi was busy and was about to mention it, when I heard someone shouting outside. Chen Xi looked back and saw that it was Ao Qianfei who came.
"What's going on?"
Chen Xi saw that Ao Qian's face was very urgent, and immediately asked.
"The Lingshan Realm powerhouse Lei Meng brought by Mr. Gao took advantage of General Lai's absence, faked the city lord's military order, and rushed towards Cuiping Mountain with three hundred armor soldiers and more than two hundred cultivators. ”
"What!"
Lai Hao's face changed immediately, and there was no blood on his face for a moment.
"What's going on?"
Chen Xi looked at him and asked.
"That's right"
Lai Hao hurriedly explained: "My subordinates really didn't expect that he would be able to fake the city lord's military orders. Although his subordinates also agreed to go out of the city to raid, his subordinates knew that a soldier should obey orders, so he didn't give the order to go out of the city at all. ”
Chen Xi said: "I can trust you." ”
After he said this, the phoenix divine wings behind him immediately spread out and quickly flew out of the space. Raymond took away all the elite armor soldiers, as well as more than two hundred cultivators who had cultivated well, more than a hundred miles was nothing to them, and they had already walked for more than half an hour.
Chen Xi increased his speed to the extreme, hoping to stop those people back. After the success of the last raid, in fact, many people in Blue Star City began to despise the Abyssal Beast. They thought that the Abyssal Beast just looked powerful, but its brain was too stupid.
This kind of thinking is not uncommon in Blue Star City. When Raymond took people away before, no one suspected that he had faked military orders. So they walked for a long time, and the armor guards did not report the news. If it weren't for Ao Qian's discovery, people might still think that it was really Chen Xi's order.
After Chen Xi came out of the space, he flew all the way. His phoenix divine wings were extremely fast, but after all, it was too late to leave the city, and after flying for a while without seeing Lei Meng and the team, Chen Xi's heart had already begun to sink.
Cuiping Mountain is one hundred and fifty miles away, and Chen Xi's speed can be reached quickly. When he saw the team, it was as if he had been stabbed by something sharp.
The people of Blue Star City have been besieged by the Abyssal Beasts. It seemed that they had just arrived at the foot of Cuiping Mountain when they were ambushed, and at least tens of thousands of abyssal beasts surrounded those hundreds of people. The abyssal beast dug a pit, and Raymond literally jumped in with the man. The reason why those armor soldiers and cultivators didn't doubt Raymond's words was actually related to the information they had obtained before.
According to the intelligence, the small team of the Abyssal Beasts destroyed small towns and villages, and all the food that could be taken away was taken away, and all that could not be taken was burned. They all knew that there was not much food and grass in the city, and this raid was to rush to grab food. Those cultivators have a bag, and it is not a problem to bring back a batch of food. Speaking of which, I still underestimated the Abyss Beast.
When Chen Xi saw them, the cultivators in Blue Star City were already surrounded by water. They formed a circular formation, desperately resisting the abyssal beasts constantly compressing.
In fact, Chen Xi did not agree to the raid precisely because he felt that the Abyssal Beast's actions were wrong. The Abyssal Beast sent out so many small teams, it was very likely that they were luring the enemy. And the cultivators in the city, seven or eight times out of ten, did not believe that the abyssal beast had such intelligence.
Such a technique of luring the enemy, if the opponent is replaced by the army of another country, maybe the people in Blue Star City will not be fooled, after all, this technique of luring the enemy is a little rough and a little contrived. But because they were facing the Abyssal Beast, they didn't even think about whether it was a trap or not.
Coupled with the recent string of victories, each of them is starting to feel a little fluttering.
When Chen Xi arrived, there were less than 200 people left in the team of more than 500 people. So many elite armor warriors, so many hot-blooded cultivators, were ruthlessly slaughtered by the abyss beasts. They fought to the death, but the difference in strength was too great. The circle they formed was still shrinking little by little, and the people on the periphery were killed layer by layer, and the blood had already stained the earth red.
Chen Xi didn't have time to think about it, and immediately swooped down from the air.
With a shake of his hand, he shot out three [Thunder Suppression] on the periphery of the Abyss Beast army, and at this time, how many could be saved, where could he take care of the others.
The three [Suppression Thunder] immediately took effect, and the abyssal beasts on the periphery were cleaned up in an instant. Chen Xi swooped down, his body turning into a black-armored warrior, ready to make a cut to save those remaining cultivators.
On Cuiping Mountain, Yue Zhao sat on a beautiful and luxurious chair and looked at Chen Xi who suddenly appeared, and his eyes immediately lit up: "I thought it was just attracting some small characters, but it seems that the effect is surprisingly good." Human beings just have too many weaknesses for sane people to risk coming out to the rescue of those idiots. Since there is a one that seems to be on the table, it has not failed my little plan. ”
He waved his hand: "Go and bring that man back to me, you want to live." ”
Several powerful fourth-rank abyssal beasts rushed towards the bottom of the mountain, and the fourth-level abyssal beasts were called Min beasts, not only did they have a lot of wisdom, but their strength was second only to the abyssal beast kings.
Yue Zhao pointed to the bottom of the mountain and looked at Ding Mei and Ye Jiaoxi, who were tied not far from him: "See, your human arrogance will always bring difficulties to yourself, and you will also affect others. ”
At this time, when I saw Ding Mei who was vaguely in the distance, his eyes were full of tears. R1058
