31. Embarking on the Journey (4)
"At present, the total number of people that we can put into it is about three hundred, of which more than one hundred and twenty members of my Kunlun Sect are members, and the remaining two hundred or so are hired people. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but they lack cooperation with each other, it is okay to scout alone or skirmish, if you want to fight a joint battle, even if you join forces, its combat power is far inferior to that of my sect Dao soldiers - of course, the demon clan in there is not an elite division, it is also cobbled together by several cottages and some ownerless demons, and it is just a rabble. β
Sitting behind Senior Uncle Lingxuzi, Huang Chang and the other senior brothers were listening to the introduction of the situation by Senior Brother Liu, who was originally presiding over here. This senior brother is very courageous, although he is a late-stage monk, he has also personally entered that space to explore, but later found that the demon clan inside is powerful, and he can't resist it with his low-level subordinates alone, and he himself can't exert his full strength in it, so he has to withdraw first.
After coming out, on the one hand, he reported to Kunlun Benshan for help, and on the other hand, he also actively considered countermeasures to prevent the demon clan from chasing and killing him - arranging defensive terrain in the valley, summoning nearby Taoist soldiers, and sending a message to hire scattered cultivators were all his handiwork. The method is similar to what Huang Chang did at Kinkakuji Temple before.
Although the leadership has now been handed over to Lingxuzi, as the head who is most familiar with the situation inside and has been sitting here, it is only natural for him to become Lingxuzi's deputy.
"How much of the terrain has been found out now?"
After listening to Senior Brother Liu's introduction to the basic situation, Ling Xuzi's gaze turned to the map by the wall. The map is also a symbol, with detailed depictions of the terrain that can be zoomed in and down to a very exaggerated scale.
It's just that there are not many places that are clearly marked on the map, many of them are obscured by vague fog, at most only roughly marked with a "suspected hills", "suspected wastelands" and the like, and a larger area is pitch black, which means that you don't know anything at all.
"At present, there are about 700 miles of detection, but it can be said that the only thing that is relatively certain is about 50 miles around our teleportation point. Other places are just flying over with the talisman bird, and the information is quite limited. β
"More than 700 miles? That's not too small. Is it possible to set up a stable teleportation array in it, and to set up a fortress in the corresponding location?"
Lingxuzi immediately raised this possibility, like all the immortal sects in the world, after Kunlun Mountain encountered this kind of "cave space", its first reaction was to ask if it could gain a foothold in it. Even if there is more than one entrance to this space, and other aliens will enter it, they must have a foothold inside.
-- Mankind's exploration of the unknown always starts from a small base.
Regarding Lingxuzi's question, Senior Brother Liu thought about it for a while, nodded and said:
"I think it should be, but that's ...... I don't know if it's appropriate to send people to stay there for a long time. β
"Oh, why?"
"Because the access to the space is very unstable. Whether we teleport in from the outside or come out from the inside, we have to look at the time, and if the time is not enough, the teleportation charm does not work at all. β
"That means that even if a teleportation array is set up, there are restrictions on its use, and you can only enter and exit at a fixed time period, and you can't enter and exit that space anytime and anywhere, does that mean?"
Lingxuzi smiled:
"Isn't that right, it's easier for us to defend outside, and we don't have to keep an eye on it all the time. β
"Yes, but if we build a fortress inside and send permanent personnel, we will not be able to provide assistance from the outside in time when we are attacked by a strong enemy, and the people inside will not be able to escape in time. β
This Senior Brother Liu is obviously also a commander who attaches great importance to the lives of his subordinates, probably because he was influenced by the style of the first Xiahou Yan, and the members of the Battle Order Hall now generally attach more importance to this. Lingxuzi nodded slightly, and muttered:
"That's true...... But in any case, send someone to go in and explore it first, and then make a decision after understanding it clearly. β
............
After a whirling feeling of dizziness, Huang Chang felt the soles of his feet step on the ground again. He immediately bowed down in a protective state, and at the same time raised a talisman shield to protect himself, and carefully observed his surroundings.
It is surrounded by a large wasteland, only gravel and no green can be seen. Huang Chang took a few deep breaths first, and then jumped and jumped, and finally confirmed what Senior Brother Liu saidβthe natural environment in this space was not much different from the outside, including the aura environment, but it was extremely desolate. Those who practice the Wood Movement Exercise may suffer a little bit here, because there are very few plants and trees, and it is difficult to absorb the Wood Movement Aura.
However, Huang Chang still took the initiative to apply to come in, together with Murong Ying, Wu Daniu and the others, he looked around for a while, confirming that those senior brothers and other companions were not in sight. It seems that the spread range of the teleportation charm is really large, no wonder the sect dares to let dozens of people directly teleport in at once, without fear of being ambushed inside.
Just like Huang Chang's previous life, the first thing the paratroopers did after landing, after their group of people teleported in, the first goal was to gather first - Huang Chang looked up into the distance, looked at the general terrain around him, and sure enough, as the people who came in before said: There is a towering mountain in a certain direction. The assembly point they agreed on was under the mountain peak.
So Huang Chang looked in the direction and ran over there. However, before leaving, he also did one thing: he took out a piece of cloth with a charm from the Qiankun bag, entered the mana and slightly adjusted the color and pattern on it to make it similar to the surrounding environment, and draped it on his body as a cloak, and if necessary, he could lie up at any time, which was an excellent protective color. After sprinkling some special powder from the six doors, it was difficult to find even the monk's divine thoughts from a distance.
-- He didn't dare to be careless in this strange environment, whether it was useful or not, anyway, as soon as he came in, he used cover-up methods. Of course, he didn't dare to speed up with the little breeze charm when he moved, so he could only run over the ground on two legs.
Along the way, he also tried to find traces of his companions all the way, but the first batch of people who were sent in were all veterans of the rivers and lakes, and most of them were about the same as him, or even more so, Huang Chang didn't even see a "one of his own people" along the way.
After walking half a mile, a dark shadow suddenly sprang out from behind a rock and rushed straight at him, but it was a hyena as big as a calf. The red eyes, the white teeth in the bloody mouth, and the raw water and the fishy smell that came out of the mouth...... If it were an ordinary person, I would be scared directly.
