Chapter 201: Smoke Rises
After leaving Liuyun City, everyone galloped all the way north, concentrating on the surroundings while hurrying at all.
Along the way, all you can see is a mess, the earth is full of ravines and cracks, and the huge and deep footprints of demon beasts are densely packed, shocking.
Tens of thousands of demon beasts poured in like the tide of the sea, and the places they passed were really messy and broken, and they were miserable.
Although Du Feiyun is now leading eight hundred disciples, all of whom are above the strength of the Qi Refining Period, if they encounter the impact of tens of thousands of demon beasts, they will definitely not be able to hold out for even a quarter of an hour, and they will inevitably all die in the belly of the beast.
Therefore, while Du Feiyun led the eight hundred disciples to hurry, he also arranged three groups of scouts to explore the area dozens of miles away from the team. Mo Depressed volunteered to take on the responsibility of scouting, and rushed to the front with two inner disciples to investigate.
The other two True Disciples, both with two inner disciples, were scattered on the left and right sides of the team, keeping a distance of dozens of miles from the team.
In this way, even if they encountered a large-scale group of demon beasts on the way, the scouts could find out the news in advance and send a message to the spirit crane to inform Du Feiyun to avoid the eight hundred disciples being besieged by the group of demon beasts.
At the same time, where the team passed, Du Feiyun also laid a secret mark in a secret way, which was the secret contact mark of the Liuyun Sect. Many of the disciples who later arrived in Liuyun City would follow the imprint he left behind and leave Liuyun City all the way into the Hongze Mountain Range.
The Hongze Mountain Range is the most extensive mountain range in the Baichuan Territory, stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles, almost covering nearly 30% of the Baichuan Territory. At the same time, this Hongze Mountain Range is located in the center of the Baichuan Territory, and countless cities and monk sects are scattered around the Hongze Mountain Range
Eight hours later, Du Feiyun marched into the Hongze Mountains with eight hundred servants.
It's just that if you want to enter the hinterland of the Hongze Mountain Range and reach the area where the mission elder is now, you will need to travel for at least a few days.
Moreover, now that there are many demon beasts in the Hongze Mountain Range, there are many dangers, and everyone will definitely not dare to rush with all their strength, and they will always maintain at least fifty percent of their strength. Otherwise, if you encounter an unexpected situation, I am afraid that you will not have the power to resist.
Fortunately, everyone has been cautious on the way, although they have encountered many demon beasts along the way, but they are all scattered demon beast groups, at most, dozens or hundreds of them, and the eight hundred disciples have fired a few flying sword salvos, and they have basically saved the day.
While hurrying, Du Feiyun also often sent a message to the Spirit Crane to contact the mission elders, asking him about the latest news and the dynamics of the demon beast group.
The mission elder went deep alone, sneaked into the hinterland of the Hongze Mountains alone, and relied on his strong ** skills, wandering around to investigate the situation and explore the movements of the demon beast group.
Now, Du Feiyun and the others have been on the road for two days in a row, and the signs of demon beast activity around the Hongze Mountains for thousands of miles are becoming more and more frequent, and the more demon beasts they have encountered, the strength of the demon beasts is getting stronger and stronger.
Now, a few days have passed since the outbreak of the beast tide, and news has also come from many cities in the Baichuan Territory, and many shocking bad news have been coming one by one. Since hundreds of thousands of people in the entire city of Guyu City were slaughtered by fierce beasts, three weaker cities were slaughtered by tens of thousands of demon beasts, and nearly one million people died in the belly of the beasts.
These cities that were slaughtered by the demon beast group were all close to the periphery of the Hongze Mountain Range, and the strength of the guardian sects was also weak, and they were all medium or small sects. After the outbreak of the beast tide, in the face of the slaughter of the demon beast group, the disciples of these small sects all swore to defend the city to the death, and lived and died with the people in the city.
In addition to the three cities that were slaughtered, other cities in the tens of thousands of miles around the Hongze Mountain Range were also impacted, but most of the cities were guarded by sects, desperately resisting the impact of the beast tide. ...,
The news of the outbreak of the beast tide quickly spread in the Baichuan Territory, and countless Xuanmen sects had learned about it, and at the same time, arrangements had been made. It's just that those small sects are weak, and they only dare to send disciples to guard the city, and they don't dare to go deep into the Hongze Mountains to investigate the situation.
Only the other three major sects dared to be like the Liuyun Sect, while sending disciples to guard the city, they also sent masters into the interior of the Hongze Mountain Range to explore the movements of the demon beast group.
The four major sects are the leaders of the righteous path of the Xuanmen within the Baichuan Territory, and this time the Baichuan Territory was attacked by the beast tide, they naturally wanted to come forward, as an example, and unite countless Xuanmen monks to fight against the demon beasts together.
Therefore, the deputy heads of the four major sects all joined forces to send out an edict, calling on Baichuan to lead dozens of Xuanmen sects, all of whom sent elite disciples from the sect to unite to form an alliance of monks, and marched towards the interior of the Hongze Mountain Range together to explore the movements of the demon beast group.
For a time, the entire Baichuan territory was full of smoke, banners were waving, and all the monks were indignant and marched together towards the Hongze Mountain Range.
After entering the interior of the Hongze Mountain Range, Du Feiyun slowed down his march with eight hundred disciples, and carefully walked along the way.
A few days later, the group marched more than 10,000 miles again, deep into the hinterland of the Hongze Mountain Range, and finally successfully joined the mission elders who were waiting here. Experienced many dangerous battles along the way, and in the past ten days, although every time they were in danger, they were able to turn danger into a disaster, but the eight hundred disciples also lost nearly 100 people, all of whom died while fighting with demon beasts.
The mission elder has been searching around the hinterland of the Hongze Mountain Range for ten days, exploring the area within a radius of more than 20,000 miles, and has a general understanding of the information of the demon beast group.
After the two sides converged, the mission elder led the group to a cave on the mountainside, where they could hide from the detection and tracking of demon beasts.
In the cave, the mission elder told Du Feiyun in detail about the general situation here, so that Du Feiyun also had a general understanding of the movements of the demon beast group.
This time the beast tide broke out, and there were nearly 300,000 demon beasts gathered together, of which seventy percent of the demon beasts were the strength of the body refining period, two percent of the demon beasts were the strength of the qi refining period, and one percent of the demon beasts were the strength of the innate stage.
Even, the mission elder also detected a powerful aura that made people palpitate, it was the breath of the demon beast of the Yudan Realm, although the aura was hidden only by him to detect a trace, but it was also shocking.
These 300,000 demon beasts are basically all gathered in the area within a radius of 10,000 miles, and the periphery is the weakest demon beast, as for the demon beasts that have never shown up in the strength of the Dan Realm, they are located in the very central area, around a mountain peak called Hongze Peak.
The Hongze Peak is the main peak of the Hongze Mountain Range, with an area of thousands of miles in a square circle, more than 5,000 zhang high, towering into the sky. Hongze Peak is not only the main peak of the Hongze Mountains, but also the place where the earth's spiritual energy is the richest, which implies the potential of hidden wind and water, which is very suitable for monks to live and cultivate.
It made Du Feiyun and the others frown, and their hearts were full of news about the demon beasts of the Dan Realm, but these demon beasts actually had a high level of wisdom, and the army of the Buddha was organized and orderly, with the innate stage demon beasts as the commander, leading a small number of Qi refining stage demon beasts and most of the body refining stage demon beasts, acting separately and attacking the cities around the mountain range.
Although the demon beast is powerful, it is because its heart is fierce and bloodthirsty, it only knows killing, and it does not have profound wisdom, so even if it can stir up the wind and rain, it is not afraid. However, now this group of demon beasts not only has reached a terrifying level, but also has the wisdom of a human monk, which makes countless people worried.
Not only Du Feiyun and the other eight True Inheritance disciples, but even the mission elders were frowning, and Zhidao was in big trouble this time. However, it is useless for everyone to worry and speculate in the cave, and they can only wait for reinforcements to arrive. ...,
Eight hundred disciples of the strength of the Qi Refining Stage, plus eight true disciples of the late innate realm, and a great cultivator of the Silver Pill Realm, this power is an absolutely strong force no matter where it is placed.
However, in the hinterland of the Hongze Mountain Range, where demon beasts are rampant, the slightest mistake will be devoured by a large number of demon beasts, so everyone has nothing to do for the time being, so they can only stand still and wait until a large number of disciples and strong men of the Liuyun Sect arrive before they can make plans.
During this period of time, everyone moved around the cave in a small area, probing the area around the cave to make sure that there were no demon beasts lurking around, and it was very safe, so they notified the disciples of the Liuyun Sect to meet here.
At this stage, everyone can only move in the peripheral areas, and dare not approach the Hongzefeng area, otherwise there will be unpredictable dangers. Because, even the mission elder himself only roughly explored the periphery of the Hongze Peak, and did not dare to enter the area of the Hongze Peak at all.
In the area of Hong Zefeng, which is thousands of miles away, there are twenty or thirty thousand demon beasts of innate stage strength, and there are at least two or so demon beasts of the strength of the Dan Realm, which can be described as extremely dangerous.
Through this period of time, observing the movements of the demon beast group, the mission elder noticed that there were two demon beasts with the strength of the Dan Realm hidden in that Hongze Peak, and those two powerful demon beasts must be the leaders of this group of demon beasts, and there must be a huge unknown secret hidden in them.
He believed that as long as he entered Hongze Peak and captured the two powerful demon beasts, he would be able to solve the mystery of this beast tide outbreak, and maybe he would be able to resolve this catastrophic beast tide.
It's a pity that he himself is weak and weak, and he doesn't dare to enter the Hongzefeng area at all. Now, only when the army of the Monk Alliance arrives, tens of thousands of monks advance together, and several great monks of the Jiedan Realm join forces, can they enter the Hongze Peak area safely.
The mission elder sent the movements of the demon beast group that he observed, as well as his own judgments and thoughts, back to the Liuyun Sect by sending a message to the Spirit Crane.
The Flowing Cloud Sect presided over the affairs this time, and the one who ordered thousands of disciples was the deputy head of the Heavenly Evil Boy, and after receiving the message from the mission elder, he said that he would definitely bring someone to hurry up...... ,
