After choosing a task in the attic, Yang Quan and Elder Zhou signed a demon contract, and then Elder Zhou recruited two deacons from the foundation building period, plus the female cultivator who received Yang Quan, to follow Yang Quan to the defense line together.

"This is Deacon Xiao, Deacon Li, and this Deacon Xin, Daoist This is the first time to carry out the task of the Yudan period, and it is to go to the node of the defense line, some of the little things are a little more cumbersome, if these three deacons are there, it will save a lot of trouble..."Elder Zhou said with a smile, this time it was a success for him, and Yang Quan should be able to become one of his networks in the future, enhancing his voice in the alliance.

"Oh, three deacons? Okay, then there will be more kindness from Zhou Daoyou. Yang Quan was a little surprised, did he need three deacons to assist him in this task? After thinking about it, he understood that this should be Elder Zhou's courtesy to him, and he gladly accepted it, even if he was a little withdrawn, he couldn't have no social network at all.

"I've seen Senior Yang. ”

The three deacons of the Shang Alliance stepped forward to salute, Yang Quan nodded, and asked, "Then do you want to leave now?"

Elder Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly, and said, "Daoyou is anxious, it's not too late to go in three days, the three of you will leave the communication jade slip to Yang Daoyou, so that you can contact it when the time comes." Yang Daoyou, you can contact the three of them directly after three days, these three people are very good at handling things, Daoyou can rest assured. ”

"Good. ”

...

The three days passed quickly, and Yang Quan summoned the three deacons outside the Rock City through the communication jade slip.

"Have you seen Senior Yang, will we leave now?" the three of them arrived together, and one of the middle-aged deacon was the first to speak, and Yang Quan remembered that his surname was Xiao.

"Well, let's go, the specific location of the node is not stated in the mission, you know, right?" Yang Quan asked.

"Senior, rest assured, Elder Zhou let the three of us come together, just so that you can worry about seniors, we will deal with all the tedious things, seniors just need to sit down. Deacon Xiao said.

Yang Quan nodded, and took the lead in flying in the direction that Deacon Xiao said, in order to take care of the speed of the three of them, he deliberately flew very slowly, while Deacon Xiao pointed out the direction on the side, and spoke with a smile carefully.

"Alas..."Yang Quan sighed in his heart, the low-level cultivators of the Immortal Cultivation Realm were really a little humble in front of the high-level cultivators, and it was really difficult for these three people to chat with them so carefully.

"Senior, it seems that flying like this is a bit tiring, the junior has a small boat here, the speed is acceptable, why don't you ask the senior to move a little, and the three junior will control the small boat to fly? " Deacon Xin began.

Yang Quan nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

Deacon Xin sacrificed a dragon boat, several people landed on it, and then the three deacons took turns to drive, Yang Quan smiled and said: "The three deacons don't have to be so careful, I am a very good person, you will know this after a long time." ”

Deacon Xiao said: "The seniors are kind and friendly, we all feel it..."The three of them heard Yang Quan say this, but they were more careful, which made Yang Quan very speechless, maybe there are many people who like to say the opposite?

On the way, Yang Quan asked about the specifics of the task, and the three of them began to tell in detail, most of which did not need Yang Quan to do, only his attention.

"Most of the things are left to the three of us, and the seniors only need to sit in charge and preside over the formation at the critical moment to hold the knot..."Deacon Xiao introduced.

"Well, can I only stay in the node normally?" Yang Quan suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Deacon Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "It's not even if you take it, it's within a hundred miles of Jiedan." ”

Yang Quan nodded, the reason why he asked this was because he didn't have the resources to cultivate immortals to go into retreat! But if you have a radius of a hundred miles, it is not much different from grounding, you can only find one who does not consume resources to cultivate first among the exercises you have learned.

The dragon boat flew for more than ten days, and then it came to the node, this is a bare barren mountain, the dragon boat stopped here, Yang Quan let go of his divine sense and scanned a few times, but he didn't find any suspicion, and he felt a little strange in his heart.

Deacon Xiao and the three of them each took out a small compass, and then urged together, a blue light flew out and hit the void, and then the ripples in the air fluctuated, revealing a small entrance after a while, which made Yang Quan exclaim, the formation arranged at this node is really very clever, just at such a close distance, his divine sense can't see it at all!

"Senior, please come in, Deacon Xin, you take Senior Yang to the attic to check in, and Deacon Li and I will go to hand it over. Deacon Xiao said, then bowed to Yang Quan and took Deacon Li to enter first.

And Deacon Xin smiled at Yang Quanyan, put away the dragon boat and said, "Senior, please come with me." ”

This is a space folded by the formation, it is not as good as Yang Quan's eyebrows are raised, so rich aura!

Outside the formation, the barren mountains and mountains, even a little green is almost gone, but inside the formation, there are beautiful mountains and rivers, birds and flowers, and the real formation is of a very high level, Yang Quan is very amazed in his heart.

"It's no wonder that the defense line played such a big role in the previous beast tide. Yang Quan couldn't help but admire.

"yes. Deacon Xin followed Yang Quan's words and said: "This line of defense is the obligation of the major sects and forces, they occupy more than ninety percent of the resources of the immortal cultivation world, but at the same time, they must also bear the obligation in this regard, the defense line is very long, every short distance, there are strongholds garrisoned by monks in the foundation building period, and a certain number of strongholds are controlled by such nodes, above the nodes..."

"If that's the case, then those big forces really take on a little responsibility, listen to your own feelings, more than the apocalypse... Ahem, it's so much better over there. Yang Quan was very surprised, these big forces in the Tian Yuan Continent really made him a little impressed.

Deacon Xin looked around, took Yang Quan to a small mountain attic, and then whispered: "Those big forces, including the Shang Alliance, are all unprofitable and can't afford to be early, if they rely on their consciousness, I'm afraid this line of defense will not be able to do it at all." ”

"Hmm, so there's some inside story or story in this?" Yang Quan asked curiously.

Deacon Xin smiled slightly and said, "That's natural, Rock City has existed since ancient times, but the defense line was only established in the past 10,000 years, because a loose cultivation was established..."

In the attic, Deacon Xin said while making tea and tidying up the attic: "If the seniors are curious, the juniors will say it, and the seniors will listen to it as a story, because there are a lot of hearsay parts, and those big sects are very taboo about that period of history..."

Yang Quan nodded and said, "That's good, it's good to listen to the story." ”

"It is said that nearly 10,000 years ago, the situation in our Tianyuan Continent's immortal cultivation realm was very bad, and there was a great contradiction between the sect and the scattered cultivators, and this contradiction was simple to say, that is, the scattered cultivators felt that the sect occupied too many immortal cultivation resources were unreasonable, and the sect believed that these resources were taken from the hands of demon beasts by their ancestors, and they should be possessed for eternity..."

Yang Quan touched his chin and nodded, but did not express an opinion.

"At that time, the situation of human beings and demon beasts in the Tian Yuan Continent was like this, each large and small sect occupied a place, and they were only responsible for the safety of their own place, if a demon beast came to attack, they generally only cared about their own sphere of influence and would not be affected, they only sheltered the mortals in their own sphere of influence, and occasionally went to support other places. ”

"If it's just one or two demon beasts breaking into the inland, then it's okay to say that after the mortals in one place are ravaged and noticed by the sects in other places, there will be sects that send immortal cultivators to eradicate them, but most of the time they are not timely... And once there is a large-scale demon beast invasion, it will be even worse, the various sects are worried about the safety of their own inheritance, the big sects are self-styled to preserve their strength, and the small sects unite to defend one place and strive to survive, as for the life and death of mortals, no one cares, anyway, their life is very short, if they want to restore the previous scale, it will only be one or two hundred years..."

Yang Quan listened silently, how similar is this to the situation in Quanzhou in the Apocalypse Continent? Mortals are like dealers, like Lingtian, and the monks of the sect look at mortals like they look at Lingtian, this batch of seedlings is gone, just plant a batch of them, anyway, after dozens of years and a half, the number of people will recover again.

"At that time, there were also loose cultivations, but the first one of the loose cultivation did not have a strong secret technique, the second was still lacking in the resources of cultivating immortals, and the third was not organized, it was a plate of loose sand, although there were many cases left to sing and cry, such as desperately guarding the hometown, guarding the city or something, but in the end it was useless. ”

"The battle between humans and monsters has existed since ancient times, although compared to tens of thousands of years ago, the situation of our humans is slightly better, but in fact, it is not much better..."
