Chapter 242: Strange Cave

As the day of the Demon Tide outbreak drew closer, a tense atmosphere gradually spread among these towns near Thunder Mountain. The vigilant adventure groups and the people in the relevant towns were actively preparing for war there.

The battle between humans and monsters is more brutal than the battle between humans, and once the town is breached by monsters, then humanity must face the fate of being slaughtered - without the slightest hand.

However, with strong city walls, it is not so easy for those demon beasts to break through. Even a breakthrough comes at a huge cost. And those towns also have their own back-ups. They will set up a line of defense in the town, and fight for a new round of entanglement against those monsters that break through.

Moreover, if there are people with higher power to guard it, then the town will basically not be breached, unless there are high-level demon beasts, or a large number of demon beasts are attacking day and night - but such things still rarely happen.

In the entire history of the Eastern Pole Dynasty, the phenomenon of slaughtering cities is still relatively rare. There are only one or two places every hundred years, but each time there will be millions of dead and wounded, plus the damage of those soldiers who fought against the demon beasts, a demon tide can lose two or three divisions.

Therefore, the battle is cruel, whether it is on the human side or the demon beast side.

However, He Baiqian is more confident in this demon tide. It was the first time he had experienced such a battle, facing countless demon beasts. Although it was only a low-level demon beast, thinking about that kind of overwhelming scene made his blood boil a little.

However, the battle with the demon beast has nothing to do with him, he does not directly participate in the battle, but commands in the rear. Together with Wang Tianhe, he commanded the overall situation of those adventure groups.

The military horses did not move, and the grain and grass went first.

Compared with the large number of divisions, these adventure groups are lighter. Moreover, except for the elixir and spiritual weapons, other things basically do not need to be prepared by the guild.

And this time, the Adventure Guild can be said to have made a bloody investment. Some basic healing pills were sold at cost price. Then there were a large number of elixirs to supply the Dan masters guarding each town, so that they could continue to refine some necessary elixirs during the demon tide to provide powerful logistical support for those adventurers.

Cang Yu's second senior brother, Meng Lei, although he did not go to the Adventure Guild, sent someone to send a batch of spiritual weapons. Although he didn't have a sixth-order spiritual weapon, Danshi had dozens of fifth-order spiritual weapons, as well as nearly a thousand fourth-order spiritual weapons. Meng Lei said that these are the remnants of those refiners who were with him, and they were all created after practice, and they were worthless.

And the fourth senior brother, Han Yan, also purchased a large number of talisman seals for the Adventure Guild from the Southern Regions.

The so-called everything is ready and only the east wind is owed, and those adventurers who are already fully prepared are waiting for the demon tide to break out.

And those who are on the front line have sent a lot of people to reconnoiter to get the latest information, and also to prevent the demon clan from raiding.

After all, the human race and the demon race are not mutually exclusive.

"Boss, there is news from my subordinates, saying that there are more caves at the foot of this Thunder Mountain, but there is no sign of a large number of demon beast activities, but there are a few demon beasts wandering around the periphery. The smoker smashed a pipe and exhaled another puff of smoke as he spoke.

"Cave, what kind of cave?" Xu Liu had just woken up from his cultivation, and his head was still a little confused.

"It's the size of a zhang, it's a kind of cave that comes up from the ground. But I didn't look into it in detail. There were some demon beasts guarding around the cave, of different levels, and there were even fourth-order demon beasts that haunted there. You also know the strength of those men, and you don't dare to go to those caves to investigate. The smoker shrugged, then poured out the burned tobacco from his pipe and replaced it with a new one.

"Shouting the captains of the sixth, twelfth, and eighteenth teams, come with us to see what it is. Although we are not afraid of those demon beasts, we can't take it lightly. The road is one foot tall and the demon is one foot high, and these demon beasts are becoming more and more shrewd. Xu Liu flicked the dust off his body, got up and walked outside.

The smoke ghost followed closely, and the people around him also went to gather the three captains according to Xu Liu's instructions.

Since the development of the Tianyi Adventure Group, a full eighteen teams have been formed, which means that at least eighteen handsome powerhouses are leading the team. In response to this demon tide, Xu Liu divided the eighteen teams into three parts, each with six teams, and carried out a continuous change of guards.

This time it was just a patrol, so I just called three teams - in fact, there are only one or two teams on weekdays to patrol, not that they are lax, but there is no need to send so many people.

At the foot of Thunder Mountain, one cave after another was opened. If you can look down from the sky, you will see that the divisions of these caves are very regular—almost like the six fixed-point divisions on a regular hexagon.

But if you look at it directly, you can't see anything strange, but I just feel a little pleasing to the eye.

"This place originally belonged to Laomiao Village. Isn't this relocated, but within a few days, these demon beasts were carved out of a cave, which is right in the center of this village. Fortunately, the evacuation was relatively early, otherwise, everyone in this village would have died here. The smoker pointed to a somewhat dilapidated village in front of him and said to Xu Liu.

"You mean--these monsters came out of the ground?" Xu Liu frowned, and he had a hint of foreboding in his heart, he felt that these caves were not so simple.

"Most of them, and a small part, came from somewhere else. The smoke ghost said, and then he swung out a cloud of smoke, turning into a long arrow in mid-air, and ran towards a third-order demon beast in the distance.

Before the demon beast could react, the long arrow had already penetrated its body, and the blood gushed out uncontrollably, but it fell to the ground in a few breaths. And the smoke arrow also dissipated after a while.

The people around him looked at the smoker with envy, and they admired him very much.

And the surrounding demon beasts also discovered the death of one of their companions, and when they looked around and found Xu Liu's group, they all rushed forward as if they were not dying.

It's a pity that although the number of people on Xu Liu's side is relatively small, there are four spirit commanders and one spirit monarch here. Even if Xu Liu didn't make a move, it wasn't something that this group of demon beasts who hadn't even reached the fourth order could bully.

After a few minutes of fighting, the group of demon beasts that rushed over suffered heavy casualties, but Xu Liu's side didn't even have one in his hand, and the later demon beasts also discovered this, and after seeing that they had no chance of winning and couldn't make any money, they retreated one after another.

"Let's see. Xu Liu commanded, and then led a few people to Nacao Miao Village.

And as they got closer and closer to Caomiao Village, those demon beasts that had originally shown a look of fear suddenly became a little restless, and from time to time one or two rushed up directly. And more demon beasts chose to wait and see, but the blood in their eyes became darker and darker.

All this naturally fell into Xu Liu's eyes, which made him feel even more strange. After arranging the formation of the team, they slowly approached Caomiao Village.

It's just that before they entered the village, three huge pigs, weighing several tons at a glance, appeared in front of Xu Liu and his party, blocking them and preventing them from going further, and the surrounding demon beasts that were still watching slowly surrounded them.

The pig is relatively powerful among the fourth-order demon beasts. Their best weapons are the two sharp fangs that come out, and countless people die in the mouths of the pigs every year. They are irritable, but they are infinitely powerful, and ordinary spirits will face them, and even have to worry about their lives.

Xu Liu raised his hand and waved it forward, and the three captains directly faced the pigs one by one. There is no such fierce battle as imagined, and the sharp spirit weapon directly cuts off the strongest reliance of the pigs, and without the fangs, they have no good means of attack except for brute force.

The surrounding demon beasts also rushed towards Xu Liu and his party, but before they could rush in front of them, some arrow rain had already sprinkled on them, and after a few breaths, three wails in succession made those demon beasts who had fallen into madness stop, and then retreated at a faster speed.

The carcasses of the three pigs lay there, already breathless. For this kind of demon beast that only had fourth-order strength, these captains of the Eight Desolations Adventure Group didn't need to take long to kill it at all.

"Since it's already a scare snake, let's rush forward!" Xu Liu shouted.

After a few breaths, Xu Liu and his party came to Laomiao Village, a mound of earth, the size of a zhang, was placed in front of them, and around the mound, several fifth-order demon beasts were already roaring.

The three golden haired giant apes, the two Viper Shadow Demon Snakes, and a group of Flame Demon Tigers were all staring at Xu Liu and his party there.

Xu Liu stared at the demon beasts around him, and after seeing that they didn't make the next move, he slowly closed his eyes. The power of the divine soul gradually spread out of his sea of consciousness, and probed into the cave not far away--perhaps it would be better to call it a cave in the ground.

"Ahh

And before the smoker could ask anything, a sharp roar came from the cave, as if he was angry, and those demon beasts who were still staring at Xu Liu and his party also pounced on them after a roar. The smoker handed the injured Xu Liu into the hands of a spirit general, and then waved the pipe in his hand, and a cloud of smoke spread directly, sending out a distress signal by the way.

A big war is about to begin.
