[Three-Star Secret Realm: Shenlu Forest (Vassal Secret Realm)]

[Characteristics: The growth of the elixir is accelerated; the cultivation speed of the wood attribute is two and a half times that of the normal third-order spirit vein; it is suitable for the survival of the demon race.] 】

......

Lu Qing was in the system and saw the information about the Shenlu Forest.

He smiled.

Although, when Wen En communicated with Lu Man, he was called an 'ally', but in essence, when the relationship between the two sides is built, where is this ordinary alliance relationship?

The Shenlu Forest Demon Clan's living materials and all communication with the outside world are said to be free, and the Lu family will not interfere in any way, but even the entrance is in the hands of the Lu family, what else is this?

Of course, the Lu family will not do anything to go back on its word, and reputation is still very important to a force.

What's more, if you kill all these demon clans and strip them into materials, where can you enslave them and make more money? And use the demon clan as slaves, where is it more effective to control them by means of trade?

Coming from a modern world where the degree of social organization is completely different from that of the immortal cultivation world, Lu Qing knows that the productivity of slavery is several generations worse than that of the capitalist society.

Treating the demon clan as a slave, it is necessary to spend energy and invest manpower and material resources to suppress their resistance, and it is difficult for them to produce well wholeheartedly under this kind of resistance. After all, being oppressed and forced to do things, where is the motivation to fight for a better tomorrow for yourself?

On the contrary, through trade control, the timeline is stretched even longer, and the demon clan in the Shenlu Forest will definitely become a force that the Lu family can drive at will after a few years.

It is not only a market, but also a labor force, and if necessary, you can also hire demon clans to fight......

As for the secret realm itself, the Divine Deer Forest doesn't have much specialty. This characteristic of the elixir growth speed blessing is still a little worse than the ancient relics secret realm that the Lu family had mastered before and was later promoted by Lu Qing;

In short, they didn't pay any price, and they set up a secret realm with empty words, and they didn't lose money by blood.

......

Four months later, North Aramori, on the outskirts of Eagle Valley.

The siege of Eagle Valley by the human monks has been going on for almost three months.

At this time, it has also entered winter.

The snow fell, and five array-breaking cannons lined up in front of the formation, under heavy protection, let out a roar.

Artillery fire roared, stirring up a thousand layers of snow.

In front of him, the large array covering the periphery of Eagle Valley produced a violent fluctuation at one point.

But it was not breached.

The array cannon was pulled down.

Today's shelling is over. The monks who used the human charger for the Array Breaker Cannon were all tired when they retreated.

It's been four shots today, and everyone is a little out of energy. In the past, it was common to shoot only one or two shots a day.

The Array Breaker can allow the monk to supply energy, or it can be filled with spirit stones to bombard, the effect of the two is similar, but it is obviously cheaper to choose the former. Of course, the price is the monk who supplies energy, there is almost no way to cultivate well, and the daily routine is to try to restore the aura, and then supply energy to the array cannon, and then work hard to restore the aura after being drained.

Moreover, the cultivation of monks also requires flower spirit stones, but it is cheaper than directly burning spirit stones. After all, it also includes the aura that the monks absorbed from heaven and earth when they regained their spiritual power.

However, this kind of thing can't last long. Otherwise, the monks who supply energy to the Array Breaking Cannon will have the risk of a decline in the realm of cultivation.

But outside of this Eagle Valley, the war has become this war of attrition.

Ever since the Northern Route Army left the Shenlu Forest four months ago, they had begun to advance towards Eagle Valley.

After the threat of the Divine Deer Forest was removed, there were not many worries about attacking Eagle Valley.

Halfway through, there were some other demon strongholds, but none of them were as strong as Shenlu Linqiang. Even the Divine Deer Forest was taken down, and they didn't dare to try the edge of the human cultivators in person.

As a result, their advance to the north was very smooth, and the resistance they encountered was negligible.

And a small number of these demon clans who fled fled into the deeper part of the Northern Wilderness. And most of the rest, either spontaneously gathered or were intentionally guided, went to Gleneagles.

This is the strongest of the entire large area in the northeastern part of Kitaaramori. The three Divine Eagle brothers here not only have a strong bloodline, they are the direct bloodline of the fourth-order demon king 'Heavenly Spirit Blood Eagle', but their own strength is also very strong. The second of the three brothers is already the peak of the third order, and the third is also the top of the third order. The eldest of them is a little weaker, but he also has the strength level of the third-order middle grade.

If you compare the combat power of the Qiming Period and the third-order level, the five Northern Route Army together may not be able to defeat the three brothers.

After all, to put it bluntly, the five of them are three in the middle of enlightenment and two in the early stage of enlightenment.

But Li Yanling, a Jindan monk, gave them a lot of pressure.

Vaguely, they also figured out how the Divine Deer Forest was conquered by humans. Although it was a surrender in the end, Lao Lu Xiaolu died and was seriously injured before the humans officially besieged Shenlu Forest, which was also the key to Shenlu Lin not being able to hold out for too long and surrendering as soon as it was surrounded by others.

After learning this lesson, the three Condor brothers implemented the turtle tactics, no matter what happened outside the Eagle Valley, the three of them themselves would not take half a step out of the old nest.

Not to mention themselves, even those second-order demon beasts under their command resolutely refused to send them out.

On the way to Eagle Valley, the human monks also thought of some ways to try to lure the enemy out.

But there is no doubt that they all failed.

There's no way, if you run into the old turtle, you can only honestly besiege it, and then put out the broken array cannon and start bombing.

Eagle Valley has been completely cut off from the outside world. This means that they will not be able to harvest any resources from the outside.

On the side of the human monks, considering the loss of spirit stones, they did not let the Array Breaking Cannon run at full power, but only fired one cannon without a cannon.

But despite this, after this siege lasted for a long time, Eagle Valley could not withstand it, and the protective array would be broken sooner or later.

It's not that they don't realize it. A month and a half ago, the three Condor brothers had tried to come out with their men and horses, wanting to destroy the five array-breaking cannons.

It's definitely not realistic to come out and fight that directly, with this ability, they won't be trapped in Eagle Valley for so long. They also came up with a trick, but to no avail.

The Western Route Army, which is in charge of the family, has suffered a loss, and the relevant news has also been transmitted, how can the Lu family suffer again?

What's more, there is also Lu Qing, the ancestor.

Where is it true and where is false, whether it is the sound of the east hitting the west or the sound of the west hitting the east, Lu Qing knows the door.

At that time, when they were doing this, the Lu family was still under the instructions of the ancestor, and the whole plan was planned, ready to wipe out the three third-order demon eagles, wouldn't this Eagle Valley be captured?

As a result, the three demon eagles were also very cautious, and they didn't get a chance, so they ran away immediately.

There was no head-to-head confrontation, so it was difficult to judge their combat strength, but looking at the way they withdrew, the speed was really fast.

The three demon eagles finally ran away, and only the weakest boss among them was bumped by Li Yanling's Yunlong when he was leaving, and he should have been injured, but it was definitely not to the point of being very serious.

The human monks have some regrets on their side, they all know that this is a very good opportunity, but it's a pity that their side is still a little less prepared, and more importantly, the three divine eagles are indeed running a little too fast, and when the human monks react, only Li Yanling can rely on his cultivation to reach a high level, and it will be all over from afar.

But it doesn't hurt.

If you fail to catch it, at most, there is no way to solve the battle faster and at a lower cost, and it will not have much impact on the final outcome.

In the third month of the siege of Eagle Valley, I saw that Eagle Valley was about to be broken.

The big array here is already in tatters, and if it hits down like this, I'm afraid it will be broken if it doesn't take three days at most.

Even Lu Qing judged it this way.

The basis of his judgment is not only to observe the situation of this great array from the outside world, but he can also observe the specific situation from the inside, from the position of the core of the large array.

Even, at some necessary times, he could give up a large amount of karma and forcibly exchange a few high-level battle exchange items to smash them at the core inside the big array. What kind of sword runes, thunder runes, fire runes, etc., just take the three-star ones. Taking advantage of the salvo of the array breaking cannon outside, he smashed these battle exchange items in a row, and if he didn't do well, he would be able to directly smash this large array.

However, Lu Qing was reluctant.

If two or three can take effect, then the hundreds of karma will be spent, but he estimates that if he wants to achieve the effect of destroying the great array in an instant, it is estimated that two or three are a little hanging, and he has to get five or six to be more stable.

When the conquest mode was opened, Lu Qing did spend karma to refresh some battle exchange items and put them on his body in case of emergency. The exchange is sufficient, but it costs thousands of karma...... It's a little reluctant.

Slow boom, it's the same, it's just that the time takes a little longer, and now the battle situation doesn't matter, and it doesn't matter if it drags on for a while.

However, Lu Qing has always felt a little restless recently.

He thought about it carefully, this kind of restlessness may have come from the abnormal behavior of the three brothers in Eagle Valley.

Their abnormality lies in their stubbornness.

This kind of stubbornness is obviously meaningless. Lu Qing didn't believe that they couldn't see it themselves, under the human monks' breaking cannons, they would definitely not be able to hold it, and Eagle Valley would be conquered sooner or later. And with Li Yanling outside, they didn't have the ability to kill and destroy the broken array cannon.

So why hold on?

Five months ago, Shenlu Lin chose to defend to the death, counting on Eagle Valley as a reinforcement. At that time, the two of them gathered together with five third-order demon beasts, and among them, there were two third-order peak existences, backed by the protective array of the Divine Deer Forest, which would have the capital to defend for a long time.

But now, the Shenlu Forest has perished, and there is no strong reinforcement outside the Eagle Valley, so what are you guarding?

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that they just can't think of a situation where they want to defend to the death, but in Lu Qing's opinion, the three brothers of the Condor are obviously not the kind of demons with bad brains.

Moreover, what about the frontal combat power of the three of them, let's not mention it first, the racial talent is here, and the speed must be one of the best in the same level.

For them, the optimal solution is to find a way to break through and run.

But these three guys ...... At least in Lu Qing's opinion, once there is no meaning in this regard.

Not only that, but they also run the interior of Eagle Valley as well.

In addition to the outermost protective array, inside, more than 2,000 demon clans in Eagle Valley have built the interior into a fortress, and all kinds of small and independent formations are engraved on it.

This is obviously done, and after the protective array is broken, they will continue to fight against the human monks to the end in the Eagle Valley, taking advantage of the geographical advantage, and fight in the streets.

Moreover, according to Lu Qing infiltrating it and eavesdropping on the conversation between the three brothers, most of what he heard was that the three of them were discussing how to defend it.

Lu Qing always felt that their stubbornness was for some purpose.

He had searched a few times before, but he couldn't find any clues. He also tried to crouch down on the three brothers, trying to find more information from their conversation, but to no avail.

To be reasonable, there are also Lu Qing's own problems in this.

In the past three months, he has watched the siege battle be very boring, and from time to time he will cut back to the Jade Smoky Mountain and enter a normal cultivation state.

Not to mention, during this time, he was basically familiar with the spiritual power attributes of the Creation and Ascension Star Technique, and he could probably use this new power system to fight, and he would not be too rusty and cause him to lag behind.

But it is precisely because he has not been on the battlefield for a long time that this also makes him not as strong as before in terms of battlefield information collection.

Now, Eagle Valley is about to be conquered, and if this matter is not clarified, Lu Qing always feels uneasy.

He decided that in the next three days, he would plunge into it and look for it.

And this time, he had a catch.

On the third day, that is, when it was expected that the protective array of Eagle Valley would not be able to withstand it, Lu Qing heard a conversation between the three Condor brothers.

"In half a year, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold ......"

"If you keep going, there are still two months to go. The valley has been made into an impregnable wall by us, let those human monks attack inch by inch, we will fill it with our lives, and we will also entangle them in the Eagle Valley for two months. ”

"In just two months, they're all going to be finished!"
