Chapter Eighty-Eight: Building a Line of Defense
The world is not peaceful, it treats all living things in it equally, and it has an ironclad law: only the strong can obtain resources.
For millions of years, monks and monks have fought, demon beasts and demon beasts fought, and of course, at most there was a fight between monks and demon beasts. Probably because of the fact that the hearts of non-our race are different, the battle between the monk and the demon beast is the easiest to escalate, and once it is upgraded, it becomes a slaughter of the weak by the strong.
Regardless of the cause of each fight, it all comes down to one conclusion: resources.
The resources of this world always maintain a constant total amount, and the more aura a creature gathers from this world, the stronger it becomes. When one day its life ceases to exist, the aura in its body will dissipate back into this world, and the cycle will repeat.
Therefore, even though all the cultivators and demon beasts in this world thought that the resources needed for their own cultivation were insufficient, in fact, this world had never lacked aura.
The last time a war broke out between monks and demon beasts in the Hengduan Mountains was many years ago, and this was really many years.
This time is a long time, so long that the monks and demon beasts who participated in this war don't know that there is such a thing as the last war, but they don't need to know, they only need to win the current war, and winning the war means winning resources.
When thousands of monks marched towards the junction between the outer and central parts of the Hengduan Mountain Range, the demon beasts that had been waiting for a long time were already a little impatient. The huge group of demon beasts relied on those fourth-order demon beasts to barely maintain order with their own powerful strength.
The way they maintain order is also very simple, if they are disobedient, they will be killed.
......
After a day and two nights of travel, Li Xuangang followed the large army to the front line.
Less than ten miles in front of him was the black pressure beast tide, he had never felt the coercion formed by so many demon beasts gathered together, this coercion was like a sledgehammer hanging in mid-air, which made Li Xuangang feel a little panicked.
Obviously, there were many people who felt the same way as Li Xuangang, and the hundreds of monks who were traveling with him, whether it was the foundation building period or the qi refining stage, all had a trace of shock in their eyes.
Xiang Danjing ignored this, and she continued to lead everyone to the planned location.
Li Xuangang They are not the main force of the attack, so they don't need to go to the main battlefield, they just need to hold the scattered beast herds, prevent them from breaking through the defense, and run to the back of the entire battle line of the Ghoul Sect.
Their most important task is that once the demon beast group is defeated on the frontal battlefield, then they must exterminate all these demon beasts that have fled from the rout, or stop them and prevent them from rushing through this line.
Xiang Danjing landed on the top of a hill and motioned for all the monks behind him to stop. After seeing that all the monks were standing still and there was no commotion, she spoke in a cold voice:
"This is the defensive front I have planned for you, and you will have to set up all the defensive circles within an hour. Not surprisingly, there should be some demon beasts running here in an hour's time. Whether they stumble into it or flee in a rout, you need to stop them all here, and not allow them to step over the hill. ”
"In addition, I will go to support the frontal battlefield later, but I will not directly participate in the battle, so if a fourth-order demon beast comes here or a large group of demon beasts comes here, you will notify me in time, and I will arrive within a quarter of an hour. ”
After saying this, Xiang Danjing motioned to the leaders of the various families and the elders of the Ghoul Sect Foundation Building Period who were in charge of the specific matters here to follow her, and the group walked to a secluded place at the top of the hill, as if Xiang Danjing was giving orders.
The other monks, including the three hundred Ghoul Sect disciples, remained in place, waiting for their respective elders to bring back their conclusions.
After about a cup of tea, a blue light flew up from the top of the hill and went straight to the main battlefield in the distance. That blue light was Xiang Danjing who flew away.
After walking towards Danjing, the Jindan monk, the leaders of the major families also dispersed, descended from the top of the hill, and returned to their respective family ranks.
Under their command, all the monks here dispersed, and each found a place for their team to build a defensive circle.
There are a total of seven large and small hills in this place, all of which are not far away. These seven hills constitute the front that Li Xuangang and they need to hold, as long as these seven hills are held, the demon beast cannot enter the rear of the battle line. And guarding these seven hills is exactly what the Ghoul Sect requires.
The largest of the seven hills, the one that had just flown away towards Danjing, was the most important defensive point, so it was guarded by more than 300 monks from the Ghoul Sect. The other six seats are divided among the rest of the family.
Li Changzhi led the Li clan to a hill in the southernmost part. This hill is not big, and since the Li family has two monks in the foundation building stage and seventy monks in the late stage of qi refining, their Li family guards this hill alone.
Because some of the hills are too big, and the monks of some families are not strong enough, except for the Li family of Taiqiu Mountain, the Wang family of Qingyuan Mountain, and the Ghoul Sect, there are several families guarding a hill together.
When he arrived at the hill guarded by his family, Li Changzhi did not delay, and immediately arranged for his clan to arrange the guardian array, because he was in a dangerous situation, the sooner he finished arranging the array, the sooner he would be safe.
Although the time limit given to Danjing was an hour, just after half an hour, seven light curtains of different colors spread out on these seven hills, and the aura circulating above them showed its strong defensive power.
After the arrangement of the magic circle, Li Changzhi gathered all the clansmen, and then said solemnly:
"Although this is not the main battlefield, it does not necessarily mean that the danger level here is low, and having the Jindan monks of the Ghoul Sect and many high-level magic weapons as the backing of the main battlefield will not necessarily cost your life. ”
Speaking of this, Li Changzhi looked around and looked at the other six hills before continuing:
"We only have twenty-four foundation building stage cultivators here, and more than eight hundred qi refining cultivators, once we encounter the demon beast group, then we can only rely on ourselves to carry it, even if we can inform the previous ghoul sect's Jindan stage elder, then we have to resist the attack of the demon beast group in a quarter of an hour before her arrival. ”
Many people of the Li clan understood this, but after being reminded by the seventh uncle Li Changzhi, they paid more attention to it.
This is a battle that has been brewing for a long time, and in fact, many monks are already prepared.
After Li Changzhi finished speaking, he solemnly glanced at the clansmen he had brought out, and then arranged them all around the hill to guard against the demon beast herds that might appear at any time.
Li Xuangang walked towards the position he was guarding and looked to the north, which was the main battlefield of the battle between the Ghoul Sect and the demon beasts of the Hengduan Mountain Range.
Although they were already some distance apart, Li Xuangang could still clearly feel the violent aura fluctuations there.
Now that the monks of the seven hills were all ready, they waited for the frontal battle to start and stop the group of demon beasts heading to their side.
Li Xuangang took out an eight-spider blue light sword and held it in his hand, and then frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
The tangled look didn't stay on his face for long, and after his brow was smoothed again, he made a decision.
Just now, Li Xuangang was thinking about whether to take out the refining corpse in the Nayin gourd. His refining corpse was damaged in the battle with the demon beast in the Lingshan stronghold two years ago, so Li Xuangang had been putting it in the Nayin gourd to recuperate in order to repair its injuries at that time.
During this period, Li Xuangang also invested a lot of second-order high-grade demon beast essence blood into the Nayin gourd. In fact, a year ago, he found that the injuries of this refining corpse had fully recovered, and in the following time, he did not summon it out of the Yin Gourd, purely so that the refining corpse could continue to cultivate in it, so that it could successfully break through the sixth layer of qi refining and enter the seventh layer of qi refining.
Now Li Xuangang can already feel that his refining corpse is on the verge of breaking through, and he should be able to successfully break through to the late stage of qi refining during this time, so he is thinking about whether to call it out of the Yin Gourd.
After several trade-offs, Li Xuangang still decided not to call him out first. Because once the refining corpse is summoned, it will definitely disrupt the rhythm of its advancement, and once he misses the opportunity to advance this time, Li Xuangang doesn't know how long he will need to cultivate it for the next advancement.
Moreover, Li Xuangang thought that the current situation was not very critical, if the situation was critical in the future, Li Xuangang would not be able to grasp the situation by relying on the existing means, and it would not be too late to summon the refining corpse at that time.
After making a decision, Li Xuangang moved the Yin gourd on his waist to the back, and then quietly waited for the development of things with the Eight Spider Blue Light Sword in his hand.
During the time of waiting, Li Xuangang was not idle, while paying attention to the situation on the side of the main battlefield, he silently operated the aura in his body according to the luck method of the Blood Storm Technique.
This was a plan he had already prepared, and the battle with the demon beast in the future was a good opportunity for him to practice the Blood Storm Technique.
Just in the southern part of the battle line, when more than 800 monks on seven hills were waiting for the battle on the main battlefield to start first, a group of stuffy demon beasts took the lead in rushing towards them, and there were more than a thousand of them.
The first battle didn't even break out on the main battlefield!
