Duan Chen was originally a person with a clear mind, and after some hard thinking, he quickly guessed the cause and effect.

At this time, he could almost conclude that he was able to successfully impact the ninth layer of qi refining this time, and nine times out of ten, it was the Seven Demon Lord who had made some help behind him.

As soon as he thought of this, he felt a little less jealous of the Seven Demon Lords in his heart, but there was a little more gratitude and admiration.

Regardless of whether or not these Seven Demon Lords were once comparable to immortals, just saying that his means of helping Duan Chen to attack the ninth layer of Qi Refining Success this time was beyond the reach of Lu Fuzi, even Pavilion Chief Li Zheng, I am afraid that he would not be able to do it.

Just as Duan Chen was in deep thought, he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps coming from outside the cell, and he couldn't help muttering to himself, "Could it be that the cell boss is back?"

He immediately got up, and was about to shout out to the cell leader, when he saw the pavilion chief Li Zheng taking Li Yuanhui and leading the cell leader down to the door of the cell.

At this time, I only heard Li Zheng say: "Open the prison door." ”

The cell boss opened the cell door as he said, and then without Li Zheng's orders, he took the initiative to retreat, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

After Li Zheng waited for the cell boss to leave, he turned his eyes to look at Duan Chen, and then he seemed to sense something, his eyes widened suddenly, staring at Duan Chen in disbelief, and asked, "You...... Have you broken through to the ninth layer of Qi refining?"

Duan Chen didn't expect Li Zheng's perception to be so keen, so he immediately nodded and said, "Break through by luck." ”

Although Li Zheng sensed Duan Chen's cultivation at this moment, he was still extremely shocked in his heart, and muttered in his mouth: "Incredible, incredible, you are only fifteen years old this year, and you have already cultivated to the ninth level of qi refining. ”

Li Yuanhui, who was on the side, was also shocked by this fact and was speechless.

But after Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, he first glanced at Duan Chen with extremely complicated eyes, and then his face suddenly straightened, and he said solemnly: "Rebel son, don't you apologize to Duan Chenxian's nephew quickly, is it possible that you want to invite you for your father?"

Duan Chen was shocked when he heard this, although he had already guessed that Li Zheng and Li Yuanhui, father and son, suddenly appeared in the Black Water Prison, most likely for Han Lian'er's incident, but he never expected that as soon as Li Zheng opened his mouth, he asked Li Yuanhui to apologize to him.

At this time, I only heard Li Yuanhui explain in a low voice: "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize to him, I don't want to." ”

Li Zheng didn't seem to expect Li Yuanhui to respond like this, and he couldn't help but shout at the moment: "Presumptuous! Do you think you can hide your tricks from me? Before you make a big mistake now, you don't quickly admit your mistake to Duan Chenxian's nephew, is it difficult for me to find your second uncle, and you are willing to admit it?"

Li Yuanhui was obviously afraid of Li Zheng, and when he saw that he was furious, he suddenly didn't dare to argue any longer, obediently walked up to Duan Chen, hugged his fists and bowed down: "Duan Chen, everything is my fault, I secretly instructed Han Lian'er to frame you, I hope you don't remember the villain, just forgive me this time." ”

His head was lowered, and although he felt extremely humiliated in his heart, he reluctantly said these words under Li Zheng's gaze.

Duan Chen didn't expect this matter to be solved so easily, and he didn't know how to respond for a while.

After all, this time he was almost ruined by Li Yuanhui and Han Lian'er, if he was asked to forgive Li Yuanhui so easily, he was really a little reluctant in his heart.

At this time, Li Zheng, who was only listening to the side, said again: "Rebel son, since Duan Chenxian's nephew refuses to forgive you, what should you do next, you don't have to teach your father to you, right?"

Li Yuanhui's body trembled when he heard this, and he said in a low voice: "The child knows what to do." ”

After that, without waiting for Duan Chen to react, Li Yuanhui actually began to slap his cheek fiercely, and while slapping him, he said loudly: "Duan Chen, I'm sorry, I was wrong...... Duan Chen, I'm sorry, I was wrong......"

Every time he read a sentence, he slapped himself hard, and after a while, Li Yuanhui's handsome face was already red and swollen.

Duan Chen saw it in his eyes, although he felt that he would forgive Li Yuanhui in this way, it would be too cheap for him, but he also knew that he would accept everything when he saw it, and he couldn't help but say at the moment: "Enough, although I have suffered a lot of injustice in this matter, I have not made irreparable trouble after all, and besides, you have already apologized, so this matter will be written off." ”

When Li Zheng heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

At this time, he looked at Li Yuanhui, whose cheeks were red and swollen, and his face was full of humiliation, and Duan Chen, who was standing not far away and was already a ninth-level Qi refining cultivator, he inevitably had some mixed feelings in his heart, and then sighed and said, "Yuanhui, you go down first." ”

Li Yuanhui was already ashamed at this time, and immediately lowered his head, covered his face, and left the Black Water Prison quickly.

Li Yuanhui left, and only Li Zheng and Duan Chen were left in the huge cell.

At this time, I only heard Li Zheng speak: "Duan Chen, I know that the anger in your heart is hard to get rid of, but I, Li Zheng, only have such a son, please look at my face and don't be like him." ”

After saying that, Li Zheng actually bowed to Duan Chen in person.

Duan Chen didn't expect Li Zheng to do such a thing for Li Yuanhui, so he immediately stepped forward, stretched out his hand to help Li Zheng, and said, "Lord Li Zheng, don't do this, since I have forgiven him, I naturally won't care about what happened before." ”

Li Zheng nodded, and changed his words: "Duan Chenxian's nephew, you really only have fifteen this year?"

Duan Chen didn't know why, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Li Zheng exclaimed: "You can cultivate to the ninth level of qi refining at the age of fifteen, which is enough to be a genius, if my Tiandu Town can safely survive the beast tide this time, I will definitely recommend you to cultivate in Qingshan City, then there is a spirit gathering rune array in Qingshan City, if this array helps, you will have a great chance of succeeding in impacting the foundation in the future." ”

Duan Chenqi said: "My lord, I don't know what this Spirit Gathering Rune Array is, it can actually help people to impact the foundation. ”

Li Zheng shook his head slightly, and said: "I'll talk about this later, now that the beast tide is coming, the soldiers have come to Tiandu Town, I came here this time, first, to bring that rebel to apologize to you, and second, I want to ask you to get out of prison and help my Tiandu Town tide over this difficulty." ”

When it came to the beast tide, Duan Chendang even left the matter of the Spirit Gathering Rune Array behind him, and asked with a concerned face: "My lord, I don't know what the scale of the beast tide is this time?"

Li Zheng left the Black Water Prison with Duan Chen and said, "Although the beast tide is menacing this time, fortunately it is only a low-level beast tide, as long as I Tiandu Town works together, I will be able to survive safely." ”

As soon as the words fell, the two of them had already left the Black Water Prison, and they saw that not far from the cell door, Zhou Changgong walked back and forth anxiously, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing this, Li Zheng couldn't help but smile at Duan Chen: "Go ahead, what to do next, Changgong will teach you." ”

At that moment, the three of them walked away in two ways, Li Zheng returned to the Pavilion Chief's Mansion alone, while Zhou Changgong took Duan Chen to the forefront of Tiandu Town to resist the beast tide.

Duan Chen originally wanted to return to the medicine hall to meet Han Sheng before going to the front line, but only to learn from Zhou Changgong that Han Sheng had indeed left Tiandu Town a few days ago, as Han Lian'er said, and he didn't know where to go.

Although Duan Chen was a little worried about Han Sheng's safety, but now that the desolate beasts were besieging the city, he couldn't go out to find Han Sheng, so he had to follow Zhou Changgong to the front line first and then make a decision.

The nearly twenty-mile-long rune stone wall is a fortification built by the ancestors of Tiandu Town in order to resist the tide of wild beasts, and it is engraved with runes and the power of runes, making this rune stone wall nearly twenty miles long and about three zhang high as hard as gold and stone.

At this time, Duan Chen and Zhou Changgong had already climbed the rune stone wall and gathered together with Chenyang and the others, looking at the dense group of desolate beasts in the distance, secretly shocked in their hearts.

At this time, it was already sunset, and I saw a vast wasteland dozens of miles away from Tiandu Town, densely packed with wild beasts, of all kinds, gathered in one place, at a glance, there was no end in sight, and the entire land was completely submerged.

Taking a closer look, among the desolate beasts gathered outside Tiandu Town at this moment, there were the first-grade desolate beast saber-toothed rhinoceros, the second-grade desolate beast Diamond Mountain Python, the third-grade desolate beast black-striped tiger, the sixth-grade desolate beast Silver Moon Fighting Wolf, and the seventh-grade desolate beast Blood Sword Ape, there were also many desolate beasts that he had never seen before.

It is hard to believe that so many wild beasts are mixed together, and instead of fighting each other, they are unusually quiet.

Is this the control of high-level desolate beasts over low-level desolate beasts?

A chill rose in Duan Chen's heart.

At this time, I only heard Chenyang on the side say in a deep voice: "Fortunately, there is only one ten-rank desolate beast Qingtian Giant Python in the low-level beast tide that is attacking this time, if there are a few more ten-grade desolate beasts, I don't think there is any need to fight this battle, with the current defense of Tiandu Town, it will be difficult to resist." ”

Duan Chenqi said, "Uncle Chen, where is this ten-rank desolate beast Blue Sky Python now?" I don't seem to have seen any trace of it. ”

The rest of the Desolate God Hunting Team had never seen the Ten Rank Desolate Beast Blue Sky Giant Python, and when they heard Duan Chen's words, they couldn't help but look at Chenyang one after another.

Chenyang looked around and said: "The ten-grade desolate beast Qingtian Giant Python, its spiritual wisdom is no longer inferior to ours and other human races, it is expected that it will lurk somewhere in the beast tide at this moment, and when night falls, it will command the desolate beast army to attack the town." ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "If I expected it to be good, this beast tide will attack, it will be a series of twists and turns, and those high-level desolate beasts will definitely not participate in it from the beginning, so the first wave of desolate beasts attacking tonight must be those desolate beasts below the sixth grade, and their wisdom has not yet been opened." ”

Nangong Jin's face was shocked, and he said, "Are those high-level desolate beasts really so smart?"

Chenyang shook his head and said, "If it weren't for their wisdom, they wouldn't be able to deserve the word high-level." ”

The so-called high-level desolate beasts, one is powerful, and the other is amazingly intelligent, far from being comparable to low-level desolate beasts.

Duan Chen stared at the army of beast tides lying still in the distance, and suddenly whispered to Chenyang: "Uncle Chen, I have a worry in my heart, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"

Chenyang asked, "What's the matter?"

Duan Chen said: "I remember that the book said that the low-level beast tide will only break out once every hundred years, but this beast tide attack is only fifty years since the last time, which is very contrary to common sense, there must be something strange in this." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people on the rune stone wall suddenly fell silent, and they were silent for a long time, as if everyone was thinking about the question raised by Duan Chen.

After about a cup of tea, Chenyang suddenly broke the silence and said: "What you said is indeed very strange, I also discussed this matter with Master Li Zheng in the hall a few days ago, but unfortunately I have never been able to find the root cause. ”

Duan Chen continued: "Although this matter is not as important as resisting the beast tide, if the root cause cannot be found, it will be like a fish in the throat, and it will always be difficult for people to feel at ease. ”

Zhou Changgong also nodded and said, "Yes, I feel the same way, I don't know how Master Li Zheng wants to investigate this matter?"

Chenyang sighed lightly and said: "Even if you have this heart, you don't have the power, now that the entire Tiandu Town is besieged by the army of desolate beasts, we just want to investigate what happened on the Tiandu Peak, and we can't leave this Tiandu Town at all." ”

Xiong Zhan had been silent, and suddenly said at this moment: "Since you have a weak heart, then this matter will be put aside for the time being, now the sky will be dark, and the army of desolate beasts may attack at any time, I don't know what good plan they have for resisting the beast tide." ”

Chenyang smiled slightly and said, "Although the attack of the beast tide this time caught people off guard, Lord Li Zheng also came up with four strategies to resist the beast. ”

Duan Chen's heart moved, and he asked, "What are the four strategies for rejecting beasts?"

Chenyang said: "A hundred flowers bloom, short soldiers, one side of the wall, capture the thief and capture the king, this is the four strategies of rejecting the beast that Lord Li Zheng came up with." ”

His four words came out in a row, and everyone was in a fog for a while.

At this time, I only heard Zhou Changgong say: "Brother Chenyang, the short-handed encounter, the thief and the king can barely be understood, but I don't know what the meaning of this hundred flowers blooming and opening up the wall?"

Chenyang said with a smile: "The so-called hundred flowers blooming, that is, when the beast tide is coming, gather the power of all the talismans, cast the magic of the spirit rune to attack, cooperate with the tung oil, strong bows and crossbows, and rolling stones, etc., to give the beast tide army a head-on attack, this is the first of the four strategies to resist the beast, a hundred flowers bloom." ”

Without waiting for everyone to ask, he continued: "If the Beast Tide army insists on attacking this rune stone wall regardless of the cost of casualties, we will have no choice but to launch the second of the four strategies to resist the beast, and we will be in close contact with the Desolate Beast Army." ”

Zhou Changgong nodded and said, "That's all it can be at that time." ”

Suddenly, I remembered that the wall was open, and I couldn't help but ask: "What does the third of the four strategies for rejecting beasts mean?"

Chenyang continued: "The so-called opening of one side of the wall is a strategy to reject the beasts on three sides and release them on the other side, if the second strategy is short-handed, it is difficult to resist the attack of the beast army, then Lord Li Zheng will send someone to open the east gate of the town and put the beasts outside the town into the town, so that the beasts on the other three sides can be lured to gather in the east to reduce the pressure on the three sides, and they can also concentrate their forces to deal with the beasts that pour into the town from the east." ”

When Nangong Yu heard this, he frowned and said: "But in this way, the pressure on the Zhendong defense line will definitely increase day by day, and I am afraid that there will be another vicious battle at that time." ”

Chenyang nodded and said: "Although there will be a fierce battle to be fought at that time, it is not so simple to open one side of this wall, at present, the residents in the east of the city have been evacuated to other places, Lu Fuzi is leading more than a dozen runes to set up runes and traps at the gate of the east of the city, just wait for the army of wild beasts to rush into the town, will launch runes and traps, at that time, we will use the benefits of the rune array and traps to resist the army of wild beasts, it will be much easier." ”

After a slight pause, he suddenly said in a deep voice: "This time the beast tide is coming, if the first three strategies are unable to retreat from the enemy, and the reinforcements have not yet arrived, then the fourth strategy can only be implemented, capture the thief and capture the king." ”

Duan Chen said, "But you want to send someone to kill in the army of the beast tide and forcibly kill the ten-rank desolate beast Qingtian Giant Python?"

Chenyang nodded: "Yes, at that time, my Tiandu Town will gather the strength of the whole town to cover Lord Li Zheng and Lu Fuzi to kill the beast tide, so that the two of them will have the opportunity to join forces to kill the ten-rank desolate beast Qingtian Python." ”

At present, the strength of Tiandu Town's group cultivation, with Pavilion Chief Li Zheng and Lu Fuzi as the most, both of them have reached the realm of the tenth-level Great Perfection of Qi refining, if the two of them can't deal with the ten-grade desolate beast Qingtian Giant Python, then there is no need to count on others.

Looking at the endless army of desolate beasts under the sunset in the distance, Nangong Yu couldn't help but whisper: "I hope that the foundation building masters of Qingshan City can arrive as soon as possible." ”

At this time, I only heard Chenyang say: "Okay, the time is almost up, except for Changgong and Nangong Sister who want to stay on the rune stone wall and implement the strategy of letting a hundred flowers bloom, everyone else will follow me behind the wall to meditate and breathe to recuperate." ”

The next group of six people was divided into two groups, Zhou Changgong and Nangong Yu stayed on the rune stone wall, while Duan Chen and the others moved behind the wall, each sitting cross-legged, breathing, waiting for the big war to come.
