Chapter 102: Coping
"This raid by the beast tide is really unheard of, I have been in business in the [Wanjin Chamber of Commerce] for so many years, and I have set foot in the Dongyun Mountains no less than a hundred times, but I have never encountered such a fierce beast tide attack as today. According to the judgment of Zai Xia and the two martial artists, there must be something strange about the attack of the beast tide this time, and from the state of the spirit beast raid, it seems that there is an unknown existence behind it; Otherwise, with the nature of a spirit beast, it would never have attacked us as if it were not going to die after such a tragic casualty! The big man said the dilemma in front of him with a solemn face, and there was a little more helplessness in his eyes.
After hearing such words, Tian Jihong also frowned, and the encounter of being attacked by the Rabbit and Rat King two days ago naturally appeared in his mind, which was exactly the same as the current situation. He also knew in his heart what a terrible impact such a spirit beast that was almost crazy and lost its mind would have when it charged like a tide after gathering.
At present, although the number of spirit beasts in all directions is not as terrifying as that of the Rabbit Mouse before yesterday, the strength of the individual is a lot higher. With Tian Jihong's own strength, it may be reluctant to solve those three or two, but once they fall into the depths of the beast tide and are surrounded, the end may be even more miserable than falling into the rat tide.
At the same time, the big man in front of him also continued to complain to several people like grasping a life-saving straw: "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, in Xia Tongbo, I am the leader of the group." It's a pity that in the caravan, the strength is quite visible, and I am only three people; Now, under the full resistance of the whole team led by us, it is only under the impact of the beast tide at the front end, which will guard this small area in the center of the platform, not to mention the several powerful spirit beasts that are eyeing in the distance. ”
"Therefore, even if we deduce that there is something strange behind the launch of this beast tide, we are distracted from protecting the safety of the caravan and at the same time, we are simply unable to break through the siege and explore the depths of the dense forest. Fortunately, several people arrived in time to help, and on behalf of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, I expressed my gratitude to several Taoist friends. The excitement in Tong Bo's tone was genuine.
"Mr. Tong is polite, when your faction is in trouble, it should be that we should come to help." Before the two Qingluo Sect members standing in the center could speak, Wang Qing, who hurriedly showed half of his head behind him, replied first, "The purpose of our waiting was to go to Dongsheng Town in the south through the teleportation array, but I didn't expect that such a change would happen halfway, and now everyone is a human monk, and it is normal for people to help each other." I wonder if Mr. Tong can tell us more about the current situation? ”
"Well, no problem! At present, with the strength of twenty or thirty people in our caravan, the battle line has been firmly locked on the east, west, and south sides of the surrounding platform, and the north side has not been raided by spirit beasts due to special reasons. Tong Bo also hurriedly used the most concise language to explain the situation of everyone to the newcomers.
"And in addition to the tide of beasts surging up in these three directions, what makes us feel most jealous is that behind them, there are one or two powerful spirit beasts lurking in the dark to deter them, so that we dare not take the initiative to attack in their directions. According to our judgment, most of the four or five spirit beasts hidden in this dense forest have reached the strength of the [Forging Bone Realm] in the same place; If they want to break through from these three directions, they will have to face the problem of how to solve these caretakers. ”
Hearing this, except for the young man with the bow who maintained a cold look all the way, the faces of the others all changed slightly, and even the two girls from the most central Qingluo Sect frowned slightly. Presumably, it is the strength of the latter two, and it will be more difficult to deal with several spirit beasts with such cultivation in a row; As for Tian Jihong, I don't want to mention it, when I face such a spirit beast that is even more powerful than the Purple Electric Eagle before, I'm afraid I don't even have a chance to fight back.
"I wonder what's going on up to the north?" I only heard a voice as crisp as a silver bell, coming from the mouth of one of the Qingluo Sect. Looking at his appearance of cherishing words like gold, it is obvious that he is so reluctant to have too much conversation and contact with outsiders on weekdays.
"Well, it's trickier to the north!" Tong Bo couldn't help but shake his head, a look of fear inadvertently appeared on his face, "With the strength of the two fairies, I guess I can vaguely detect the situation over there through my soul sense, right?" Could it be that he could sense that his soul power was imprisoned by an inexplicable silk-like barrier when he touched the boundary of the dense forest? ”
"Don't hide it, you also know that the north is originally facing the direction of the depths of the Dongyun Mountain, and this beast tide actually started from the north, and then it detoured from the dense forest on the outside to other directions, and then surrounded this place. Even if we analyze, the source of the secret ghost manipulation beast tide is mostly located in this direction. ”
"But the most troublesome thing is not these, there are no spirit beasts guarding the north direction now, the main reason is that there were three demon poison spiders over there half a day ago. I don't need to explain this, most of you probably know how powerful this demon spider is, right? The cobwebs it weaved covered all the trees in a half-mile radius to the north, and there was no possibility of breaking through from this side. ”
When he recalled the area that was entangled in dense black silk threads, Tong Bo couldn't help but feel his scalp tingle; At the beginning, he tried to lead people to try to explore the source of the beast tide from the north, but he was blocked back by the dense cobwebs in the forest, and then he could only retreat in the encirclement and hold his position.
Tian Jihong, who was still young, didn't know much about the demonic spider described by this Tong Bo, so he had to ask Wang Qing on the side in a low voice. Although the latter was not as nervous as the others around him at this time, the solemnity in his face was also undisguised, and it was obvious that he understood the power of this demonic spider.
Seeing that Tian Jihong asked at this moment, Wang Qing had nothing to hide, and explained in a low voice: "Little brother doesn't know yet?" The Demon Poison Spider is a terrifying species that is hated by all living beings, and in terms of its strength, it can only barely be regarded as just stepping into cultivation, even if the Demon Poison Spider has a lifespan of hundreds of years, it is only the cultivation of the Kaiyuan Realm. ”
"And what really makes the demon spider notorious is its terrible poison. In addition to the venom in his body that was enough to threaten the Bone Forging Realm, or even stronger cultivators, since the spiritual power absorbed by the Demon Poison Spider for many years could not be used to improve his strength, it was expelled from his body through the spider silk it spit out. And this leads to the spider web formed by the demon poisonous spider, with gray and black two colors, of which the black spider silk is particularly deadly, with extremely terrifying corrosiveness, like with the strength of you and me, with the flesh touch, it can only be melted in an instant. ”
"And the demon poison spider is often manipulated as a puppet by humans or other spirit beasts due to its lack of strength and weak soul power, and many cult sects that have cultivated their divine consciousness will raise such vicious spirit beasts as a means of fighting the enemy. When dealing with such creatures, most monks are reluctant to fight with their physical bodies in close quarters, and often use long-range soul sense suppression to make them submit. Wang Qing said.
"I didn't expect this thing to be so difficult to deal with." Tian Jihong also muttered. According to what Wang Qing said, he himself did not cultivate his soul power, and with the physical fitness that he was better at on weekdays, he was basically restrained when facing these demonic spiders. Therefore, he will never take the initiative to deal with the heavy responsibility of these demon poison spiders.
"yes, and that's not all. According to what Tong Bo said, the source of the beast tide of manipulation comes from this direction, you must know that in the martial arts world, the monk or soul beast who can have the ability to manipulate alien creatures through soul consciousness can be said to be one in ten thousand, and the secret method used to manipulate it is all a huge consumption of its caster, so generally speaking, the strength of the manipulator is often far greater than that of the manipulated spirit beast. Wang Qing continued.
"That is to say, at its source, whether it is a human or a beast, its strength is probably far higher than that of the Bone Forging Realm. Such a terrible person, even if all the people present go up together, I am afraid that they will hit the stone with an egg. Wang Qing's voice gradually deepened, and it sounded like he was not too optimistic about the current situation.
Tian Jihong also shook his head slightly, returning to the silent appearance he had been at the beginning. He knew that in such a crisis, all he could do was to be like Wang Qing and be content to save his life as much as possible. As for how to complete the follow-up deployment, it is up to a few people in the central government who are highly cultivated, and what they have to consider is how to use the follow-up plan to get out as soon as possible, so as not to be abandoned as cannon fodder by their companions because they are too weak.
"In this way, there are not many options to choose from!" The other person from the Qingluo Sect also spoke, and by the way, the soft sword in his hand easily pierced a badger-like spirit beast that flew over on his side.
Tong Bo also nodded and said, "That's right, in the case that there is no way to break through in the north, there are only two ways to do this: one is to find a way to defeat the guardian spirit beasts on the other three sides and look for possible opportunities to break through; It's just that even with the help of a few people, you have to take a lot of risks if you want to implement it. After all, the spirit beasts hidden in several places are not too far apart, and once they realize that we are preparing for a forced breakthrough, they are likely to gather together and attack us. ”
"The second way is naturally to continue to hold the position like now, I looked at it now, and now that the teleportation array behind me is opened, it should not be more than half a day. As long as we can continue to hold out until this hour, we can use this method to get rid of these pursuers, and the risk is relatively small. ”
"It's just that the disadvantage of this is that I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to find a way to Dongsheng Town, so you have to choose a detour; Second, I'm not sure if the guy who manipulated the beast tide will come up with new tricks during this time, once the other party reacts and forcibly manipulates all the spirit beasts to launch a desperate fight, I'm afraid that if we are trapped here to defend, the casualties will not be small. ”
