In the Huanhua Wetland, a captain led ten people to a small willow tree, the captain squatted down, glanced at a sign under the tree, raised his head and pointed in one direction and said, "Over there!" ”

The group chased in that direction, and after a distance of about ten miles, the captain changed directions under the guidance of a sign, and after changing directions three times, the group found the corpse of a Shadow Guard on the road ahead.

The corpse's clothes had been completely torn, even the soft armor inside had been torn to shreds, the entire body had been gnawed to almost a skeleton, and its face had been completely scratched, and it was impossible to make out its true face, but his storage ring had fallen not far away.

"Captain, this person is No. 1, judging from the scars on the corpse, he should have encountered a large group of demon beasts, but he couldn't escape, and was finally eaten by demon beasts." One of the team members inspected the situation and spoke.

"Can you be sure what the monster did?" The captain said in a deep voice.

"Judging from the tooth marks, it should be a demon beast belonging to the category of wolves, and if you look at it from its social habits, it can be determined that it is a demon wolf." The team member said.

Hearing this, the captain smiled lightly and said: "No. 10 is worthy of being a know-it-all among us, just by such a little clue can judge so many things, which clears a lot of obstacles for our actions, since we know that it is a demon wolf, we must know the specific number and strength of its group, if we can, we don't mind destroying this group of demon wolves, first, to reduce some resistance for us, and also to avenge No. 1 by the way, and secondly, to add some income to us, hey, our money is really not enough." ”

Listening to the captain's words, everyone couldn't help laughing, and No. 10 carefully surveyed the surroundings and then spoke: "Judging from the various traces left here, there should be about thirty demon wolves chasing and killing No. 1, and No. 1's own strength is the Yin and Yang Realm, but from the traces of the scene, we can see that No. 1 was killed without any power to fight back, that is to say, there is at least one first-level high-level spirit beast among the demon wolves, and, I'm not sure if their clan is only about thirty heads, Captain, I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to eat this group of demon wolves. ”

Hearing this, the captain also lowered his head and pondered, and after a while, he raised his head and spoke: "Brothers, have you ever thought about what it means to be in any race where there are spirit beasts. ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up, and the captain continued: "That's right, that means that first, there are a lot of eighth- and ninth-level demon beasts in this race, and they are full of treasures, and second, there is a high probability that there are some genius treasures in their lair, or even something of great value, so I think this risk is worth taking!" ”

Everyone whispered when they heard this, obviously moved by the captain's proposal, and only after a moment did one of the team members hesitate: "Captain, but the task assigned by the commander is ••••••"

"Stupid, isn't it our task to open up a road, how do you know that after we kill those demon wolves, we won't open up a road to Tianxuanling?" Another member of the team slapped him on the head.

Suddenly, the other few people couldn't help but laugh, seeing that everyone did not object, the captain waved his hand and said: "Let's go, let's follow these traces to find the past and see how strong those demon wolves are." ”

On the other side, the second captain led his fifteen team members to explore in different directions, this direction seemed to be quite safe, and the group had already traveled more than a hundred miles without encountering the slightest danger or abnormality, which made the group cry out for luck in their hearts.

"Captain, we can't really be lucky and have found the right direction." One of the team members who followed closely behind the captain laughed.

The second captain's eyes were also full of smiles, but he still said: "Don't be careless, anything can happen in this Huanhua Wetland, No. 1, you must be vigilant against the changes around you at any time." ”

No. 1 said confidently: "Don't worry, no one can hide my perception, unless it is those old monsters in the realm of life and death, but how can people at that level be bored and come here to get along with us." ”

At this moment, a figure jumped out from the side, but everyone in the second team was not nervous, the man came to the captain's side and said, "Captain, I have basically investigated, and there is nothing abnormal within a radius of ten miles." ”

Hearing this, the captain nodded and said, "Eight, you have done a good job, continue to expand the scope of exploration, let's move forward!" ”

The group walked all the way, and after nearly thirty miles, suddenly, No. 1 pointed not far in front and shouted: "Look, there is a blue-purple willow tree there, what kind of tree is it, I have never heard of it before!" ”

"There are thousands of strange things in the world, although you have the most extensive knowledge among our group, but there are still countless things you have not seen, and there is nothing strange that you don't know the willow tree in front of you." The captain scoffed.

No. 1 was stunned, and the rest of the people also laughed, and No. 1 said angrily: "What are you laughing at, captain, I mean there may be something wrong with the willow tree, we must be careful, and besides, the willow tree is also worth exploring, in case it ••••••"

Although he didn't finish his words, everyone understood what he meant, and the captain thought about it for a while and nodded: "Four, you are the best at this, you go, we will follow the old rules if you get the benefits." ”

No. 4 smiled and said lightly, "You can just look at me." ”

With that, like a civet cat, he gently and slowly approached the willow tree, and everyone held their breath, and little by little, Number Four got closer and closer to the willow tree, and at last he came to the willow tree, but still nothing happened.

Number Four took out a mask and put it on his face, although his even was covered by a face towel, the mask was similar to the current gas mask, even the eyes were protected by a layer of transparent crystal, and then took out a metal rod that had been tested by the number two and three of the previous team, this thing was called the test stick, and carefully probed towards the willow tree inch by inch.

After a while, the color of the test stick did not change at all, and the fourth breathed a sigh of relief, put away the things, came to the willow tree again, took out a syringe-like thing, pierced it into the willow tree, and pulled out a small amount of willow sap, these juices are also blue-purple, and after probing with the poison test needle, it was determined that it was not toxic, and then took it to the front and carefully observed, after a while, the fourth seemed to enter an extremely excited state, and even his body trembled slightly.

"Haha, hahaha, captain, we have picked up a treasure, we really have found a treasure, the sap of this willow tree actually contains an extremely pure aura, and it is non-toxic, according to my preliminary estimate, its value is definitely not under some seventh-level or even eighth-level medicinal materials, the value of this willow tree is simply immeasurable, it can be said to be a priceless treasure, haha~~~" No. 4 shouted excitedly.

Everyone was also excited when they heard this, however, at this time, a blue and blue "vine man" suddenly hung down from the top of No. Four's head, and just before he could react, he wrapped his neck, just in a flash, No. Four's figure disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, and then he heard his terrified scream, which was just a breath or two, and the cry stopped abruptly, as if it had never appeared at all.

"Captain of the team, he is finished like this on the fourth, he is the strength of the Yin and Yang Realm, what was it just now, the speed was too fast, I didn't see it clearly at all." Number One swallowed hard.

"I don't know, I was infected by No. 4's emotions just now, and I relaxed my vigilance, it seems that we are going to have trouble here, everyone be careful." The captain said.

"Why don't we go around?" Someone suggested.

"Stupid, didn't you see the excitement of No. 4 just now, that willow tree must be some kind of incredible treasure, otherwise No. 4 wouldn't be instantly confused, otherwise that thing wouldn't be so easy to get, let's just be careful, after killing that thing, that treasure is ours!" Number One scolded.

The captain raised his hand and said: "No. 1 is right, the treasure is ahead, we must not miss it, lean over slowly, pay attention to vigilance, as long as we are not careless, there should be no problem!" ”

The group held their breath and walked in the direction of the willow tree step by step, and after a while, everyone came to the covered area of the willow tree, at this time, they were more careful, however, at this moment, the previous "vineman" blew down at lightning speed, appeared behind the last team member, and wrapped around his neck with a flick.

As soon as "Fujiman" appeared, everyone had already reacted, and the person who was attacked immediately dodged to dodge the blow, and at the same time, the rest of the people attacked.

However, after all, the person who was attacked only cultivated to the entrance to the Yanyan realm, and he didn't seem to be good at speed, and he was entangled before the movements were finished, but because of his movements, he also avoided the end of being entangled in the neck, but the arm didn't run away, and then he was pulled up by the "Fujiman" and quickly disappeared between the dense branches, and for the previous attacks, "Fujiman" didn't dodge, and the recent attacks hit it, just made a jingling sound, But it didn't do any damage, and the subsequent attack missed.

Just when everyone's hearts were awe-inspiring, the man's frightened cry came from the tree: "No, no, it's a snake, it's a strange snake, ah~~~!" ”

"Hurry up, get out of the area covered by this willow tree, I'm afraid that beast will not be easy to deal with!" The captain immediately made a decision and ordered loudly.

••••••

In the inner disciple room of the Linghua Sect, Yin Old Ancestor, Shang Taijun and others all gathered here in Pei Shan, and Old Ghost Yin said impatiently: "Old Ancestor, we have been here for more than ten days, we have not done anything, but we have to be careful all day long, how long will we have to live like this, I can't stand it anymore!" ”

"Old ghost Yin, you are so impatient, how can you complete the task, you might as well go to the army to sit in the army, that will save us a big deal." Long Yuzhen said.

"What do you say, if you have the courage to say it again, I promise to beat you all over the ground to find your teeth!" Old Ghost Yin said angrily.

Long Yuzhen said disdainfully: "As far as your little Taoism can take me, hmph, you may not be able to gain the upper hand if you make three moves." ”

"You ••••••" Old Ghost Yin's eyes were as big as bells, and he was about to have a seizure, but at this time, Old Ancestor Yin opened his mouth to stop their farce, and snorted angrily: "Hmph, when is this, you two are still in the mood to fight here, you all calm down for me, don't bother others to find a way if you can't think of a way!" ”

Both of them stopped when they heard this, but Old Ghost Yin glared at Long Yuzhen angrily, but at this time, Shang Taijun said: "We really can't wait so endlessly, the old body is getting more and more uneasy these days, I'm afraid it won't be long before their real powerhouse can return, and that is the time to do it to us." ”

Mei Qi was surprised: "Aren't they afraid of destroying their sect?" ”

Yin Lao Zu sighed and said: "Hey, Meiqi, you don't know the real powerhouse, if we are just facing a strong man who knows the slightest bit of life and death, we can still fight, at least we can destroy this place, but if we are facing two, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us people to even find a chance to do it." ”

Mei Qi was shocked when she heard this, but she didn't say anything more, after all, she was just a pure spirit array master, Shang Taijun said: "Let's go to the Scripture Pavilion and the Zongku again, if there is really no chance, we have to find a way to leave, Lu Yuan and Liu Yi, the two little guys have not shown up for several days, I am afraid that they have been controlled, or they have suffered accidents." ”

However, at this moment, a chuckle came into the ears of everyone present, and everyone was so shocked that everyone almost jumped up: "Hehe, everyone, is there anything wrong with my Linghua Sect's hospitality, why don't you stay for a few days, you are going to be ready to leave, my sect master is very hospitable, if he comes back, he will definitely blame the old man for not keeping the guests." ”

Yin Lao Zu got up instantly and shouted: "What kind of person, sneaky, come out to the old man!" ”

Although he roared majestically, he was extremely nervous in his heart, you know, the soundproofing ban was laid by him, but people can completely ignore it, this is definitely not something that people at this level of life and death realm can do, and even the general point of life and death realm is impossible to do to such a degree, at least not to hide his perception.

In an instant, the eight people in the room all thought of the same question, all their actions were completely under the monitoring of others, and all the people in the opposing camp were not seven life and death realm powerhouses at all, but eight or even more, and the strongest one was not in their intelligence at all!

Just when several people were shocked in their hearts, an old man slowly appeared in front of them, and at the same time, a bewitching figure also appeared in the other direction of them, looking at them with a smile, and there was a faint mockery in those seductive eyes.

This hand shocked these eight people again and again, if they hadn't clearly seen the two people in front of them, they would have thought that there was no one else here, that is, they couldn't feel the existence of these two people at all, what kind of cultivation were these two people!?

At this moment, the bewitching woman spoke, and her voice was crisp and glutinous, as if a pair of warm and greasy little hands caressed her heart: "Everyone, don't try to resist, the slave family is a third-level peak spirit beast, and this one is many, much stronger than the slave family, if you mess around, you will die a miserable death." ”

These words are as if a heavy hammer has struck the hearts of eight people, and a spirit beast with a complete transformation means that it is the kind of demon beast with a very noble and pure bloodline, with the strength of eight people, it is a question whether it can last three rounds in the hands of others, and if you want to destroy this place, it is simply impossible, and that old man gave them an unfathomable feeling.

Mei Niang grinned and said: "That's right, don't worry, your life is quite valuable, we are reluctant to kill it like this, so you don't have to worry about it at all." ”

Speaking of this, she sighed again and said: "Hey, it's a pity, if you were so quiet, we wouldn't have come to embarrass you, but who told you to think about running, there is no way, so I have to let you go to the prison for a few days." ”

Yin Laozu's eyes changed, he arched his hand towards Dongfang Liyi, and said: "This senior, it is indeed wrong for us to offend this time, but we have not brought any losses to your sect, the younger generation still has a bit of a status in the royal family of the Shang Kingdom, I can be a guarantee, so that the Shang Kingdom and your sect can live in harmony and never invade, what do the seniors think?" ”

Dongfang Li smiled contemptuously and said: "The junior who has forgotten about the realm of life and death is not qualified to negotiate terms with the old man, if you know each other, you will obediently let us ban the cultivation, otherwise, die!" ”

"Hmph, I still don't believe it, how powerful you are, even if we are defeated, but it is not a big problem to destroy this place with a desperate death!" Old Ghost Yin roared angrily.

Dongfang Li's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand towards the void of Yin Lao Ghost, Yin Lao Ghost immediately felt that his true yuan was completely frozen in an instant, and the whole person flew towards Dongfang Li uncontrollably, and even Long Yuzhen, who wanted to rescue next to him, didn't have time to make a move, his whole person was already carried by Dongfang Li in his hand, and with a slight force, Yin Lao Ghost rolled his eyes and fainted.

The other seven people were shocked when they saw this, and the three martial artists of the reincarnation realm couldn't help but tremble, and at this moment, another scream sounded, and the old man in the green robe didn't know what to be caught by Mei Niang, and he was also banned from cultivation without any resistance, and he fainted.

A helpless sigh came from Yin Laozu's mouth: "Hey, miscalculated, miscalculated, I'm afraid the empire is going to lose a lot of ransom this time, it's really a matter of stealing chickens and rice." ”

••••••

In the camp of the foreign merchant army in Fengming Pass, Long Tianyue was studying the map of Dingfeng City in the tent, and at this moment, the soldiers came in and reported: "Marshal, the backup of our army has arrived." ”

Long Tianyue's spirit was shocked when he heard this, and he laughed and walked out of the camp with his own soldiers, and came to the outside of the camp, where a middle-aged man dressed as a general was standing there like a javelin, and when he saw Long Tianyue coming, he immediately stepped forward and saluted: "The last general has seen the marshal!" ”

"Haha, General Meng Sheng, I guessed that it should be you, but let me wait, hehe." Long Tianyue laughed and stepped forward to grab Meng Sheng's hand, and pulled him into the handsome tent as he spoke.

Meng Sheng also smiled and said: "The batch of things that the marshal applied for is also a very rare treasure for the imperial court, so, you know, those guys are also a little noisy, if it weren't for the news from the Yeyue Empire later, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been able to come by now, haha." ”

"Hmph, those Ziwenchen know that they are crooked, and they have the ability to ask them to try it on the battlefield, I'm afraid they don't need others to attack, they themselves will be scared by that formation first." Long Tianyue vented the dissatisfaction in her heart.

Meng Sheng also laughed and said, "Okay, let's not talk about them, let's talk about the current battle situation." ”

Coming to the handsome case, Long Tianyue sighed and said, "Hey, it's not good, we launched a large-scale siege ten days ago, but the boss of the other party is too cunning, and besides, Ling Huazong also has a weapon that can directly threaten us reincarnation realm powerhouses, making us fall short, and we have huge losses." ”

"Then what is the specific situation of our army now?" Meng Sheng continued to ask.

However, Long Tianyue was not at all annoyed by this extremely faceless behavior, and said directly: "Now our army is 1.8 million, hey, in the last siege battle, our army lost 400,000, these are all my faults." Immediately after, Long Tianyue explained the entire battle process in detail.

After hearing this, Meng Sheng's brows furrowed deeply, and he pondered for a long moment before he spoke: "Judging from the performance of the other party, they should be dragging us here to death, and wait for the troops of the Yeyue Empire on their side to withdraw and then turn their hands and deal with us with all their might, if Fang Lin really leads the army here, our trouble will be big, and the Yeyue Empire is also in a hurry, otherwise, those guys will not be so happy to let me bring those treasures." ”

Long Tianyue nodded and said: "Therefore, we must finish our efforts in one battle, take down Dingfeng City, and also destroy their living forces here as much as possible, so as to lay a solid foundation for the battle of the next few cities." ”

At the same time, in the city lord's mansion of Dingfeng City, Dongfang Tianxiao and others were gathering together to discuss the next tactical arrangements, Li Qing said: "General, at present, our total strength is still one million, our losses last time can be said to be very large, the lives of nearly 200,000 soldiers remained in the city, I really don't understand, even if you want to lure the enemy deeper, you don't have to sacrifice so many low-level soldiers in vain, if we let our elite soldiers or strong people take action earlier, our losses will definitely be reduced a lot, After all, it's not easy for us to train qualified soldiers. ”

Gao Xuan glared at her when he heard this, and was about to say something but was interrupted by Dongfang Tianxiao, and said: "On the battlefield, in order to achieve the final victory, sometimes you have to pay some costs, and these costs will even make you break your muscles and bones, but you must not have the slightest hesitation, otherwise, when your purpose is discovered by the enemy, everything you have done before will be in vain, okay, this is the last time General Ben will explain this problem, if you still have doubts, either hold it in your stomach, or return to the sect by yourself!" ”

Although Dongfang Tianxiao's voice was not loud, the sternness in his tone could be heard by anyone, after all, repeatedly questioning the decision of his superiors in person was taboo in the army, although Li Qing was dissatisfied with Manchester United, but she did not say anything, but she was always angry about the "vain sacrifice" of those soldiers.

Dongfang Tianxiao continued: "According to the report of our spies, the Shang Imperial Court received a stern urging from the Yeyue Empire, and sent 400,000 reinforcements to come, in this way, the total strength of the Shang Kingdom in this war has reached 2.8 million, deducting those troops that were wiped out by us before, the Shang Kingdom now has 2.2 million left, so far, it is impossible for the Shang Army to have any more reinforcements." ”

When the people below heard this, instead of panicking, they all showed excitement on their faces, and immediately one of the generals said with bright eyes: "General, does this mean that we don't need to continue to pretend, we can give them a go!" ”

The other generals also immediately spoke, saying that they wanted to do a big job, Gao Xuan said: "Yes, general, we are all too aggrieved these days, and we obviously have strong strength." But he wanted to hide and tell those low-level soldiers to fight hard, and we all looked uncomfortable. ”

"Well, now we don't need to hide anymore, when they attack the city, we will go all out to destroy them!" Dongfang Tianxiao said.

When everyone heard this, their emotions became excited, and at this time, Dongfang Tianxiao continued to speak: "However, they brought a treasure that is said to have been sent to the Yeyue Empire a year ago, according to the guess of our spies, this should be a very powerful siege weapon, but what it is, he did not investigate, but according to some vague descriptions of these things, I have a certain conjecture." ”

This aroused everyone's interest, but Dongfang Tianxiao didn't give everyone a chance to ask questions, and changed the conversation and said: "Those things we have laid out underground should also be effective." ”

Time passed quickly, the next day, the Shang army has been arrayed under the city, a large number of troops will be the entire Dingfeng City surrounded by water, the rumbling war drums seem to be about to collapse the solid and heavy city wall, the neat pace made a very rhythmic rumble, it seems that every step is on the human heart, so that the defenders' heartbeats are changing with the change of their pace, and the momentum of the Shang army is unprecedentedly high.

Gradually, the merchant army came to a range of five miles from the city wall, knowing that at this time, the formation of the merchant army looked normal on the surface, exactly the same as the formation of the last attack.

The next offensive process was also the same as before, a large number of catapults attacked, consuming Ling Huazong's talisman array, the death squad rushed forward, probing whether there were any traps and ambushes on the road ahead, the follow-up troops followed, entering a range of two or three miles, towers and rushing chariots followed, ramming the city chariots rushed forward brazenly, attacking the city gate, a large number of soldiers climbed on the city wall like ants, and launched a fierce charge••••••

All this looks no different from before, if there is any difference, that is, the attack efficiency of the merchant army is not as high as before, and their mortality rate is rising rapidly, even the elite archers on the tower of the frontal battlefield are shooting against the Ling Hua army, there are many people who have been shot, due to the threat of the Ling Hua Sect's Fu array cannon, the strong men of the Shang army did not show up, but fortunately, Ling Hua Zong's city defense crossbow arrows seem to have run out, and they have not launched any effective attacks on the tower.

In a blink of an eye, the battle went on for nearly two hours, and the casualties on both sides were rising sharply, at this moment, the formation of the merchant army on the frontal battlefield suddenly changed, and a row of twelve big guys about three zhang high, one zhang wide, and about ten zhang long were pushed out, looking at these things, Dongfang Tianxiao's eyes flashed, and he muttered: "It's finally here." ”
