Chapter 10: Preparing for War
The area where Lingshan is located is a vast mountain range, with 76 peaks, 15 canyons, 37 forests and 8 rivers, and the terrain and landform are very complex. As a result, it has also become a paradise for all kinds of magical beasts. At the same time, on the edge of Lingshan, there are also many explorers and demon hunters from all over the world, mainly immortals.
To the north of Lingshan is a barren and inhabited swampland, known as the Great Wilderness. To the south of Lingshan, there are three immortal townships in turn: Tongyun Immortal Township, Lingshan Immortal Township, and Broken Sea Immortal Township. The three immortal towns are all under the jurisdiction of Lingtong Immortal City. To the south of these three immortal towns, there is this big city, Lingtong Immortal City.
Due to the border with Lingshan, the immortals of Lingtong City used Lingshan as a treasure place to hunt demonic beasts and obtain immortal crystals, various minerals, medicinal herbs, etc. And the demonic beasts in Lingshan are also fierce and abnormal, often killing and injuring innocent people and animals, and devouring flesh and blood. Large-scale battles have broken out on both sides many times in history, each with its own injuries. Among them, the first war 3,000 years ago was the most tragic. At that time, Lingtong City poured out the power of a city of immortals, plus a few high-level immortals who helped the fist, and finally killed the Lingshan Beast King at that time, a seventh-order blood lizard, at an extremely heavy price.
To this day, the huge body of the blood lizard, like a giant dragon, is still displayed outside the Lingtong City Lord's Mansion, declaring the glory of mankind.
After that, the power of the human race and the Lingshan demonic beast slowly balanced, and the fight was tied, and they held each other for thousands of years. There were no more large-scale battles. Although the individual strength of the Warcraft is strong, there is no new unified beast king, and they are fighting separately, and the threat is not great. Even in most places, humans and Warcraft have reached a tacit agreement of mutual non-aggression.
But in recent years, the situation has changed, and Warcraft has frequently attacked humans, disemboweling their hearts. This strange approach made the immortals of Lingtong Immortal City speculate that on the Lingshan Mountain, it is very likely that a new beast king will appear soon, and the demonic beasts are eager to present a gift to the new beast king.
As for the appearance of powerful demonic beasts such as the Vajra Demon Ape in Fan Village, it shows that this situation has become unprecedentedly tense.
At present, the Lingtong City Lord already knows about this and will take countermeasures in the near future.
Feng Yuandao, the township lord of Lingshan Xianxiang, first convened the village owners of the fourteen Xiancun under his command to report and discuss the relevant situation. At the same time, he sent a liaison person to each immortal village from the immortals in the township lord's mansion, who was responsible for coordinating and dispatching in the center, guiding training, etc. The one stationed in Shuangshixian Village was Yang Pu.
Maybe it's because he's a double stone man himself.
A few friends finally got together again, but everyone has matured a lot and is not as noisy as before.
Shuangshi Immortal Village's preparations are tight. The immortals finally began to patrol the entire immortal village, and the two teams of immortals went to the subordinate villages every day to inspect them. The fortifications of Xiancun were reinforced, and a large amount of supplies began to be stored.
The immortals of the Immortal Village Juying Building have stepped up all kinds of preparation training, mainly in terms of physical fitness and immortal power cultivation.
A few days later, there was a bombshell news from the Juying Building of the village lord's mansion that all the immortals would be assessed. The assessment form is in the form of promotion battles, and the top five are rewarded. It is said that the village lord's mansion will pass the assessment, circle some core powerhouses, and reorganize the demon hunting team with them as the main force.
In the entire Shuangshi Immortal Village, including the village Zhou Yi, there are currently a total of forty-six immortals on the register. Among them, thirty are junior immortals, fifteen are intermediate immortals, and only Zhou Yi is a senior immortal. There are quite a few nominally, but there are nearly twenty of them, who are junior immortals who have just opened the immortal and successfully stepped into the realm of immortals this year.
The really strong ones are only five or six people.
And Yang Pu, although he is a high-level immortal and a person in Xiancun, he is not a subordinate of Xiancun.
Although Jin Ling is still only a junior immortal, his immortal power is strong, his understanding of martial arts, his use of immortal power, his reaction and speed are far beyond the average level, and even an intermediate immortal is also considered one of the powerhouses of the immortal village.
"As the saying goes, a thousand days of raising a man are used for a while. You immortals, what are you training and living in the Immortal Lord's Mansion for? There is an abnormal movement in the demonic beasts of Lingshan, and it is likely that a new beast king will appear. You have all studied the history of that war thousands of years ago, and the tragedy of that war makes people still feel uneasy now!"
"History can't repeat itself! Therefore, we must become stronger! Even if we are just an immortal village, the immortal village also has the value of the existence of the immortal village! Every day in the future, the squad will be the unit, half of the squad will guard the immortal village and conduct training, and the other half of the squad will be stationed on the front line and stand by to cooperate with the main force of the immortal city lord to carry out actual combat!"
Under Zhou Yi's strict supervision, Shuangshi Immortal Village has a strong atmosphere of preparation and momentum.
In addition to training and guarding work, Jin Ling wholeheartedly studied the new blade claw martial art given by Zhong Tu, called "Short Blade Claw Solution", a total of thirty-six styles, all of which are basic blade claw use tricks, each style pays great attention to the change of footwork.
The tricks of the blade claw are extremely closely coordinated with the footwork, and the angle, power, and timing are all inseparable from the footwork. Although he did not have a foundation in martial arts, he had a strong ability to comprehend, and with the ability to observe inwardly given by the Dao of Qi Lookout Technique, the Thirty-Six Claw Method was quickly mastered. The basic blade technique turned out to be very powerful.
However, this is not an immortal technique, and it is far from reaching the power that an immortal technique can exert. At most, it can only be regarded as an ordinary combat method, that is, a martial art.
It would be nice if you could learn Mo Xian'er's Qingyun Crossing Method, it was a real immortal skill, and it was in front of people in an instant, and in the next second, it tore the other party's throat. Jin Ling thought enviously.
Martial arts are fighting techniques that ordinary people can practice, and the power is limited, and the immortal skills must be based on the immortal power, and the strength of the immortal power has a strong impact on the power of the immortal skills, and the total power is extremely strong. Every immortal skill is almost a secret, and the price is extremely expensive, and it is often priceless but not marketable.
However, everyone also knows that before practicing immortal skills, you must practice basic martial arts as the foundation. The basic martial arts run the strength of the whole body, and to some extent, it is the same as the immortal power of the whole body operated by the immortal technique.
The day of the Xiancun Immortal Warrior Assessment will soon come.
The venue for the assessment is in the Xunwu Hall of the Juying Building of the Village Lord's Mansion, and it is not objection to people from the Village Lord's Mansion coming to visit. What's more, the family of the village owner still came to see it.
It was the first time Jin Ling had come here. In fact, this is a large auditorium, with a ring in the middle, and a lot of training equipment and equipment around it.
Zhou Yi was very disappointed when he saw the scene of the game. The strength of the immortals in this Shuangshi Immortal Village is really too far behind that in the Immortal Village. More than half of the junior immortals didn't even know how to transport the immortal power out of their bodies to form an attack ability! They were not as good as those ordinary first-order and second-order demonic beasts!
Jin Ling, Yang Xuan and others barely got by. Yang Xuan ranked fifth among the intermediate immortals, Yang Lisheng was seventh, and Yang Lixuan was eleventh. Jin Ling ranked third among the junior immortals.
This is the result of his deliberate retention of strength. If you do it with all your might, it will not be difficult to get the first rank of the junior immortal.
After the competition, the immortals in Juying Building were reorganized and divided into six teams, each with seven people. The team leader and vice captain are intermediate immortals, and the others are junior immortals, most of whom are divided according to their hometown region. Therefore, Jin Ling, Yang Xuan and others were all assigned to the third team, and the captain was Zhao Peng, the deputy village owner.
Due to his outstanding performance in training, as well as the merit of killing the King Kong Demon Ape, Jin Ling was appointed vice captain.
Zhou Yi also drastically implemented a series of combat readiness plans, preparing to be sent to the foot of Lingshan Mountain to open up an advance base in a squad formation, train immortals, and fight against demonic beasts.
When the news came, everyone in Juying Building was terrified and mourned.
Everyone knows that demonic beasts are terrifying, they are infinitely powerful, their skin is as hard as iron and stone, and they move quickly. The most frightening thing is that they are much more fertile than humans.
Otherwise, how could they occupy more than ninety or five percent of the territory of the continent, forcing mankind to build cities and countries in a few small places.
Three pieces of ape skin armor were given to Yang Xuan and the others, and a pot of ape nail arrows was given to Yang Lisheng. Such a gesture surprised the three of them.
"Ling Zi, I found that you are really wide. Yang Lixuan said.
"The Vajra Demon Ape was killed by us together. Jin Ling said, "Now that Xianxiang is equipped with suitable fine iron weapons and basic armor for everyone, if you fancy or need other things, I will try my best to help." ”
Jin Ling said: "After all, we are a group!"
Yang Pu was on the side, looking at them, the light but tough ape skin armor hidden under their coats, looking at the fine iron light crossbow on Yang Lisheng's shoulders and the arrows made of ape nails, the envy in his eyes flashed.
He had only returned to Xiancun in the past few days, and Jin Ling and the others had no preparation at all. Only four pieces of the original ape skin armor were made. And in Jin Ling's mind, he thought that as a disciple of the township master, a person who was focused on cultivating in the Immortal Township, and he was also a high-level immortal, Yang Pu would not take these things into his eyes at all.
"Jin Ling, I realize that you are really a captain who can share weal and woe with everyone. Yang Pu said.
"It's a must. A squad is going to go on a mission together, and when the teammates are strong, they can help themselves when necessary, and maybe they can save their own lives. Jin Ling said.
"You are so relieved of people's hearts?" Yang Pu said, "You give someone good things, maybe he will secretly scold you, because he thinks that you may have something better to hide for your own use." ”
"Why do you think that?" Jin Ling's eyes widened in surprise, "Yang Xuan and all of them are our brothers and sisters who have played since childhood, if we are not at ease with them, then who else can we rest assured in this world?"
"In this world, you can only rely on yourself!" Yang Pu said, "The rule I learned from Xianxiang is not to expose your back to anyone, even if this person is your teammate!"
