At the end of November, the spiritual fields planted in the Spirit Plant Institute of the Shepanshan Base were harvested, and the 300 acres of spiritual fields totaled nearly 400,000 catties of spiritual valley, which greatly alleviated the food problem of the base personnel.

The war boat of the Refining Academy was also developed, and the war boat carried dozens of people, consuming a low-grade Yuan Crystal every hundred miles, but it required divine sense control and could not be controlled by ordinary people.

The speed of the battle boat is comparable to the speed of an ordinary monk in the early stage of foundation building to control the flying sword, which is about the second-level wind speed. Wind speed is the definition of speed in the cultivation realm.

The first-class wind speed is about half an hour and 60 miles

The speed of the second level is about half an hour and one hundred and twenty miles

The wind speed of the third level is about 240 miles in half an hour

The wind speed of level 4 is about 480 miles in half an hour

After testing, the stability of the warships is good, and they can be used in actual combat, according to the plan, a hundred ships will be built in the early stage, and ten warship formations will be formed first.

Wei Wuxian's idea was that each warboat should be equipped with two monks and eight soldiers, ten ships for a squadron, thirty-one for a squadron, and one hundred for a brigade, and the three formations of large, medium, and small had two captains and deputy captains.

In addition, in order to prevent the monks of the Fallen Soul Sect from using the means of divine soul attacks, the Refining Academy deliberately refined a batch of god-guarding cards, which have the effect of stabilizing the mind, and each soldier and monk was issued with one to hang on his chest.

The Refining Academy has also achieved gratifying results in the improvement of the Yuanli Bow and Flying Ants.

The effective attack range of the Yuanli Bow has been expanded to one hundred and fifty zhang, reaching the maximum range that can be sensed by the divine consciousness of ordinary monks in the late stage of foundation building, and the utilization rate of Yuan Jing has increased from two light arrows sent out by a low-grade Yuan Crystal to three, an increase of half.

The attack distance and attack power of the flying ants have also been greatly improved, and now they can attack a distance of up to one hundred and twenty zhang, and their attack power has reached the level of a seventh-layer cultivator in the Qi refining stage with all their strength.

Its power seems to be smaller than that of the Yuanli Bow, but this thing can be controlled remotely, and the divine consciousness of the monks in the late stage of foundation building can control it at a distance of three hundred zhang, plus its own attack distance, it reaches four hundred and twenty zhang away.

Moreover, a late-stage foundation building monk can control at least forty-eight flying ants, and if used in battle, it will completely defeat the opponent.

In addition, the flying ants can also be directly operated with Yin soldiers, so that even if there is no Yuan Crystal, they can also provide flying ant energy through the Yin Gathering Rune Array above to maintain a normal attack.

Ordinary feminine things cannot be directly active in the daytime, even if they reach the level of white eyes and black evil, they can't stay for too long in the daytime, and the flying ants have a light-sheltering talisman array, and the yin is not limited by time in it, and can act at any time.

The only shortcoming of the flying ant is that the cost is too high, after many tests, it takes at least eighty yuan crystals to make one, and the cost is far above the Yuan Li Bow, which has been reduced to six lower grade yuan crystals.

In addition to some achievements of the Refining Academy, since the Shepan Mountain base won two consecutive battles in Xiaoqingshan and Beichen Mountain, many scattered cultivators in the Northern Regions, as well as the disciples of various sects in the Northern Regions who escaped from all directions, have come to take refuge one after another, and Wang Fu has to receive and review dozens of monks every day.

These monks must pass layers of verification before they can be absorbed into the Shepanshan base, and they will be tried for a period of time in the early stage, although the Shepanshan base needs people, but what is needed is people with innocent backgrounds and abide by the rules of the base.

At present, there are more than 5,800 ordinary soldiers in the Shepanshan base, more than 1,300 monks from Xie Sanyi, the Guo brothers, and Zhang Mazi's department, more than 1,500 people in the Refining Academy, more than 70 people in the Lingzhi Academy, and more than 10,000 people in the Lingzhi Academy.

Among them, there are two monks in the late stage of foundation building, eighteen monks in the middle stage of foundation building, and more than 100 monks in the early stage of foundation building, which has not included Wei Wuxian's more than 5,000 Yin soldiers.

In mid-December, an army of 5,000 monks headed for the Snake Mountain.

Led by Leng Kui, one of the three giants of the Fallen Soul Sect.

In addition to this Jindan late stage monk, there are two Jindan mid-stage monks and three Jindan late-stage monks, and there are hundreds of other foundation building stage monks, which can be said to be quite a strong lineup.

Leng Kui's creed is 'the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength', or he doesn't do it, and he will attack with all his strength until the opponent is powerless to resist until it is cleared.

Such a big movement naturally spread to the base of Shepan Mountain, but Wei Wuxian was in retreat, Wang Fu could only order all the people of Lotus Mountain Villa to move to the vicinity of the Snake Mountain Refining Fire Cave, more than 500 monks, 2,800 soldiers equipped with Yuanli Bow were all on standby, and more than 1,000 monks from the Refining Academy stepped up refining Yuanli Bow and flying ants day and night.

A day later, the sky above the direction of the Jade Bottle Pass was full of monks from the Fallen Soul Sect, Leng Kui sat on the cloud throne and looked at the towering mountain range in front of him and said, "Did you say that they all moved to the snake tail in the middle of the Snake Pan Mountain?"

"Lord Hui, according to the report, even the people from the Lotus Mountain Villa outside have withdrawn there, because of the terrain, the air flow is relatively violent, and it is impossible to control the flying sword to reach directly from above, so you need to take the mountain road. ”

"Walking on the mountain road, how long will it take for more than 5,000 people to walk on the mountain road, and what if there is an ambush on the way?" Leng Kui said dissatisfied.

The man next to him stopped talking, this was a question that he hadn't expected before, but what could he do now? Could it be that he would just go home, it would become a joke in the mouths of monks all over the world.

Of course, the Jindan monk didn't have to worry about the whirlpool of air above the valley, how could he dare to say that let this lord go alone with a few Jindan monks to open the way, then why should they do it!

Leng Kui sulked for a while, knowing that he couldn't just stalemate, and said: "Let the corpse puppet open the way in front, let everyone be careful, the other party is not a soft persimmon." ”

"Yes. ”

One by one, the black-pressed Fallen Soul Sect monks descended onto the mountain below, and in front of them was a row of expressionless corpse puppets.

These corpse puppets are still wearing the clothes of the previous sect, but now they all have no souls, and only a body is left to be driven by others.

The corpse golems were invincible and as hard as stone, and they held a bloody blade in their hands to open the way in front of them, and some poisonous insects and beasts were frightened to avoid them when they smelled their breath.

It was not easy for the army of 5,000 to march up the hills, the roads were rough and there were many bushes, the troops could not make it, and they were loose and scattered in the east and west, and the speed of the march was very slow.

This made Leng Kui very annoyed, and he really wanted to burn the entire Shepan Mountain Range with one fire.

Suddenly, there was a commotion ahead, and the marching procession stopped.

Leng Kui said: "What's the matter?"

A Fallen Soul Sect Foundation Stage monk trotted over and said, "My lord, the resistance encountered in front of me has killed many of my fellow sects, and the sect's seniors have also been injured. ”

Leng Kui was not surprised by the ambush, which was expected, but when he heard that Zong Hao, the early Jindan monk who was in charge of opening the road in front, was actually injured, he couldn't help but frown and said, "Senior Brother Jiang, you go and take a look." ”

"Yes. ”

Behind him, a Jindan early stage monk led several foundation building period monks towards the place of the commotion in front of him.

Jiang Fang had never believed that the two Jindan fellow disciples on Beichen Mountain had died at the hands of a foundation building period monk, but now he actually heard that Zong Hao, an early Jindan monk who had opened the way in front, had been ambushed and injured, and he was shocked in his heart, Zong Hao's strength was a top existence in the same realm of the Fallen Soul Sect, and it was by no means inferior to him.

If Zong Hao was injured, it could be seen that the strength of the other party was indeed extraordinary, which made him feel a little uneasy, and when he saw the woods in front of him that looked like they had been cut by a large pair of scissors, he was even more shocked.

What is the force that causes such a scene, isn't there also a Jindan monk on the other side?

"Senior Brother Jiang, why are you here too?" Zong Hao was surprised when he saw Jiang Fang.

Jiang Fang said: "My lord heard that you were ambushed here, and you were also injured, so let me come and have a look." How about it, Senior Brother Sect is fine, right?"

Zong Hao smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, I dodged in time, otherwise it would be difficult to say whether I could talk to my junior brother now." ”

"The other party is so powerful, is it a mid-stage Jindan monk?"

"No, you don't believe it, it's just a bunch of ordinary people. ”

"What, ordinary people, how is it possible, is Senior Brother joking?"

"Senior Brother Jiang, do you think I'm joking?" Zong Hao's tone became serious.

"Then what the hell is going on?" Jiang Fang said, pointing to the trees and corpse puppet stumps that had been broken by Qi Brush.

"There is a powerful weapon in their hands that can emit light arrows, and the power of each light arrow is not very large, which is equivalent to the attack power of a ninth-level cultivator in the Qi refining period, but it is very terrifying to shoot hundreds of arrows. ”

"Light Arrow..."This is a weapon that Jiang Fang has never heard of, but he will not doubt Zong Hao's words, there is no need for the other party to lie to him, not to mention that there are so many Fallen Soul Sect monks who have seen it.

He inquired in detail and went back to report to Leng Kui, Leng Kui narrowed his eyes, no wonder that the late-stage foundation building monk was able to kill so many Jindan monks in a row, it turned out to be like this.

At this moment, someone from behind came to report that the rear team was attacked and harassed, and asked for reinforcements.

Leng Kui was not calm now, behind him was a mid-stage monk of the Fallen Soul Sect Jindan who was dispatching the loser, and now he actually asked for support.

The team of more than 5,000 people stretched out in the mountains and forests, and the team behind was now in chaos, countless light arrows shot out from the dense forest, the low-level monks of the Falling Soul Sect were harvested by the light arrows in pieces, and a mid-stage monk of the Falling Soul Sect Jindan was now locked by hundreds of light arrows, tired of coping, unable to take care of other people at all, and the situation was precarious.

The light arrows that suppressed him were extremely level, leaving him no gap, as if there was an invisible hand controlling all this.

If it comes to personal force, Shen Tao, Leng Qiao, Song Zhe and other sergeants from the Jade Bottle Pass naturally can't compare with these Fallen Soul Sect monks, but when it comes to the level of combat command, they are completely reversed, they are not much higher than all the monks here, divided into combined attacks, outflanked by detachments, roundabout attacks, wave attacks, and all kinds of tactical means are used freely.

And the yin things released by the Fallen Soul Sect have nowhere to hide under the sense of the Snake Panshan Monk's divine sense, as long as they get close to a certain distance, they will be shot by countless light arrows, even if there are one or two fish that slip through the net, the monk will cut them off, and he can't get close to the soldiers holding the Yuanli Bow at all.

The mid-stage Jindan monk was so angry that he activated all the five-layer Dao Forbidden on the sword weapon in his hand, and immediately fell fist-sized yin thunder on the soldiers.

However, the soldiers in charge of suppressing him did not pay any attention to him, because there were comrades behind them who were responsible for covering them.

Hundreds of people raised their Yuanli bows and shot all the light arrows into the sky, and the lightning and light arrows collided in mid-air, making a deafening cracking sound.

The power of the Yin Thunder was extremely great, and the first wave of light arrows was engulfed in it, but then the second wave of Light Arrows had arrived, blocking the falling thunder above, and there was a loud crackling sound, this time the Yin Thunder only had a few scattered falls, but they were defeated by dozens of monks joining forces.

This mid-stage Jindan cultivator of the Fallen Soul Sect stimulated the five layers of Dao Forbidden in a row and consumed a lot of his own Yuan Force, if he hadn't been forced to have no way, he wouldn't have used it, but when he saw the second wave of light arrows shot out, he knew that it wouldn't have much effect, so he made a quick decision, left behind those disciples of the Fallen Soul Sect who were being harvested by the light arrows, turned around and fled.

He knew very well that if the other party cut off the connection with the army and was surrounded by those soldiers armed with mysterious weapons, he would not be able to leave even if he wanted to.

Jiang Fang, who was ordered to rush over, saw the scene in front of him, and the raindrops of light and arrows made him feel a chill down his spine, and he hurriedly organized people to gather the retreating Fallen Soul Sect monks together and retreat to the location of the brigade.

Leng Kui stared coldly at the mid-stage Jindan monk of the Fallen Soul Sect in front of him, in less than a cup of tea, he actually lost nearly eight hundred disciples of the Fallen Soul Sect, and the mid-stage Jindan monk who was assigned to be in charge of the latter fled back in embarrassment regardless of the life and death of his fellow disciples, this guy is still shameless!

He held back a wave of anger, this was the first time he had suffered such a big loss since he led the team, if it wasn't for the fact that it was the time to employ people, he really wanted to slap the shameless guy on the other side to death.

"My lord, the situation is unclear now, the end is too long, and my subordinates suggest that the army be reduced first, and then it is not too late to slowly look for fighters. Jiang Fang said on the side.

Leng Kui waved his hand: "You go and arrange it!"

The army of the Fallen Soul Sect began to shrink, and all of them gathered on a mountain, several Jindan monks guarded several key positions, Leng Kui and other places were properly placed, and took the two Jindan mid-stage monks to leave the defense area and head towards the center of Shepan Mountain.

The light of the three of them was extremely fast, and the airflow in the central area did not have much impact on them, but when their light just entered the central area, hundreds of light arrows immediately shot from all around, and the light was not defensive, and the light arrows were impermeable, so they had no way to dodge, so they had to escape the light, appear in the air, and wave their swords to resist.

The light arrows were dense, Leng Kui took advantage of the deep cultivation and swung his sword forward, but the further forward the light arrows put more pressure on him, and the power of the dense light arrows concentrated on the attack was no less than that of the Jindan monks, his purpose this time was just to investigate the truth and reality, and he did not plan to start attacking with the two Jindan mid-stage monks, turned around, and retreated when he saw that there was no chance.

When Jiang Fang saw him coming back, he handed over the tea and asked, "My lord, how is it?"

Leng Kui sat on the main seat, took the tea and took a sip of it, and said, "Their light arrows are a little difficult to deal with, I may still have a chance to break through, and others may not be able to do it." ”

The mid-stage Jindan monk who had fled in embarrassment by the light arrows nodded his head repeatedly, as if this would make him feel a little better in his heart.

In the council hall of the Shepanshan base, all the people in charge of the base headed by Wang Fu gathered together to discuss the next countermeasures.

"This time we forced the other party back, but I can't imagine the consumption of Yuanjing, with our reserves, we can fight such a battle a few times, and also, where did the mountain lord go, Wang Neizheng, you give us a thorough understanding!" Zhang Mazi said.

The others also looked at Wang Fu, Wang Fu was in charge of the overall affairs of the base when Wei Wuxian was away, so at this most dangerous juncture, everyone wanted to know why Wei Wuxian didn't appear in Shepan Mountain to preside over the overall situation.

Wang Fu looked at the person in charge of the base who was full of houses, in fact, he was not in a hurry, the Falling Soul Sect not only had a lot of people coming this time, but also super strong, and now it was known that there was one Jindan late stage monk, two Jindan middle stage monks, and two Jindan early stage monks. I don't know how many other foundation building monks there are.

The power of the Yuanli Bow lies in the cluster, and every time the Yuanli Bow shoots out a light arrow after the cluster, the Yuan Crystal to be consumed is a shocking number, a simple calculation will know that three hundred light arrows are one hundred lower grade Yuan Crystals, and one thousand lower grade Yuan Crystals can be shot ten times, but in fact, each wave of light arrows is not more than three hundred, and the lower grade Yuan Crystal has been used nearly 50,000 times after several battles.

This is not a full-scale war yet, just two small battles, and three Jindan monks from approaching once!

Most of you were terrified when you heard this statistic, wondering if they would have the resources to provide for the next battle.

"Don't worry, we have excellent commanders and sufficient resources to win this war, as for the mountain master, he has always been there, but it is inconvenient to come out now. The mountain lord said that we are strong now, and he firmly believes that we can stop any incoming enemy, don't we believe in the mountain lord?"

"Yes, we are very strong now, even if the other party is a late-stage Jindan monk, as long as we have a bow in our hands and we are all united, why not be afraid of the enemy!" Shen Tao said.

Although Shen Tao is not a monk, he commands more than 5,800 soldiers, and it can be said that the most powerful force in the Shepanshan base is the Yuanli Bow Legion led by him, Leng Qiao, and Song Zhe.

Therefore, he has a great voice in the meeting, and he also represents the voice of most of the people in the base.

Wang Fu glanced at him gratefully, he couldn't mess with it at this time, Shen Tao's support for him was very important.

"So what next?" asked Guo Yuhai.

"We caught them off guard for the first time, but we can do that again in the future, after all, the other party's personal strength is very strong, if we are scattered, it is easy to be broken by them one by one, and hold on to the central area before the mountain master appears, in addition, the refining academy also asks the head of the Fan Academy to hurry up, and we also need a large number of Yuan Qi bow equipment teams." Wang Fu said this, and looked at Fan Li, the head of the Refining Academy, who was sitting first on the left.

Fan Li said: "Don't worry, the Imperial Palace, our Refining Academy is stepping up its work, and we can equip all the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers within seven days." ”
