Chapter 288, the clouds of suspicion
"That's right, but this striker is extremely risky, and if he is not careful, he will fall into a heavy encirclement, which is the end of a catastrophe, and the risk is too great! Ouyang Fu shook his head and refused.
"Although the number of monks on our side is small, the elites that Brother Ba and I have brought are all elites, and we need to take the initiative to attack in order to develop our strengths and avoid weaknesses. This strategy was proposed by the junior brother, and it was just to test the results of the training under my command!" Yi Xuan continued to insist on it with confidence.
Seeing this, Ba Hesong pondered for a long time before saying: "What the two brothers said is right! This is the best opportunity to test the joint defense of our three stations, and it is also a great turning point for us to discuss the big plan, and we can't tolerate the slightest mistake! I also agree with Yi Xuan's plan to attack, after all, we don't know what this demon cultivator is doing, if we let it go on, I'm afraid that there will be more than one bad luck, and we must disrupt the battle situation, so that no one can take advantage." But Brother Yi, you must promise me and Brother Ouyang that you can't take risks, the role of this vanguard is to exhaust the enemy's soldiers, not to fight with them, let alone go deep behind enemy lines. If you can't do it, I'll be the pioneer!"
"Please rest assured by this, I am not a greedy person, and I am reluctant to let my brothers die in vain, I will definitely be cautious, and I will send back the information I get at any time for the two brothers to refer to and decide. Yi Xuan immediately agreed, which reassured the two of them a little.
"Brother Yi, you must be more careful when you go, you are here to reinforce If there is too much damage, how can I go in my heart!" Ouyang Fu was still relieved, and repeatedly told Yi Xuan to pay attention.
The three of them had already agreed on tactics, and Yi Xuan decided to directly lead the team to lurk in the outer mountains of the Five Poison Forest, looking for an opportunity to bite hard at any time. After nearly three months of actual combat training, Yi Xuan's monks are no longer like the previous Xianmen monks to go out, cover their whereabouts with formations, set up tents in the formation, pay attention to comfort and comfort, but more like the style of secular marching, everything is oriented to success or failure, using the formation to cover up the traces to the extreme, and no longer pursue comfort, the things they carry are for the use of the enemy, and the division of labor and cooperation between each other is also more tacit, without waiting for Yi Xuan and other commanders to order, all the information about the stationing of the demon cultivator has been put on Yi Xuan's desktop.
Originally, several members of Yi Xuan's team were all capable men in charge of their own affairs, and after watching the message sent back by the scouts together, Yi Xuan looked at everyone and asked for everyone's opinions: "Let's talk about it, what is the so-called matter of the large number of demon cultivators gathered here?"
Ji Deshou looked at the mountain-shaped landform and the distribution of products around the Five Poison Forests, and asked himself: "There is nothing strange in the vicinity except for the abundance of poisonous insects and Gu things, and these many demon cultivators are not poisonous cultivators, all of them are gathered here, which is really confusing." Could it be that he simply wants to hoard troops and conquer the Ten Thousand Tribulation Ridge garrison in one fell swoop? ”
He Xinghuo grabbed the conversation and said with a grin: "Uncle Chang is right! I looked at some demon cultivators who hadn't been repaired by us for too long, and the scars had healed and forgotten the pain." The lieutenant led us to rush and kill them fiercely, and it will be crushed!"
Liang Tian glared at him hatefully: "Hu Lai! If it can be so simple, do you think Ouyang Duwei and the others will not go into battle themselves." It's just going straight in the head, aren't the monks under your command human life?"
Song Kaifeng doesn't like to engage in frontal battles the most, so he often thinks about the other party's mind when he exercises in the battle formation, and then does the opposite, he often hits with one hit, and at this time, he sees the distribution of demon cultivators, and puts forward a bold idea: "Du Wei, you look at the nearly thousand demon cultivators who seem to be surrounded by the Five Poison Forests irregularly, but if all the strongholds are connected into a line, like a strange rune, will there be any fame." As he spoke, he marked all the proven demon cultivation stations, and finally got a strange rune.
Yi Xuan and the others all gasped, even if they didn't know the actual effect of this rune, just looking at it with the naked eye, they already felt that the evil aura was awe-inspiring, revealing boundless weirdness.
"Does anyone know the utility of this rune?" Yi Xuan asked everyone present, but none of them knew this rune, and immediately took out a jade rune, carved the strokes of the rune, and handed it to Liang Kuan: "Deputy Liang, immediately transfer it to Ba Hesong and Ouyang Fu, so that they must find out the true use of the rune as soon as possible, and if no one knows, ask Ze Nancheng for help!" Liang Kuan took the jade talisman and turned around to deliver the message.
Yi Xuan continued to say in a deep voice: "First of all, whether it is a coincidence or deliberate, before we find out the utility of the rune, we have the right to assume that the demon cultivator is doing it on purpose, tonight we will take the opportunity to kill the demon cultivator at several important nodes, if the demon cultivator re-arranges manpower here, it means that there is a chance that we are waiting, if the demon cultivator gives up this point, we will find another motive!" Seeing that Yi Xuan came to a conclusion, everyone stopped arguing, agreed on the time of departure together, and returned to the camp to restrain their subordinates to prepare for the midnight offensive.
In late summer and early autumn, the mountains and forests were dark at night, drops of crystal dew condensed between the branches and leaves of the grass and trees, unknown insects chirped in the grass, and a large group of black-pressed monks stood silently and neatly, waiting for the commander to give the order to attack.
In order to avoid startling the snake, Yi Xuan did not speak, but raised his left hand high and made a chopping action downward, and everyone followed and repeated, a total of two hundred monks divided into two ways, led by Yi Xuan and Ji Deshou respectively, to raid two key places in the Demon Cultivation Stronghold. As long as it is cut off, the strange runes composed by the demon cultivator can be broken immediately, and as long as you see whether the demon cultivator fills it back, you can see whether it is really as Song Kaifeng expected.
All the monks held their breath and walked towards their respective targets with their feet in front of them, and the scouts in front of them kept coming from them, and they did not stop until they were less than twenty or thirty miles away from their destination, a distance that could only be reached by a few breaths for the monks of the foundation.
Yi Xuan pressed his hand down, and all the monks behind him quietly stopped, bent down and hid in the nearby grass and trees, waiting for further orders. Song Kaifeng came out of nowhere, walked into Yi Xuan's side, and said in his ear: "Du Wei, the demon cultivation in front is no different from the daytime, only a few people are left on duty, and the rest are resting and meditating in the tent, and the number of people has not changed at all, it is still forty-nine." ”
This time the demon cultivator attacked, not only the motive is doubtful, but even the number of people stationed here is also strange, in the past, it was an integer system like the immortal gate, but this time it was all scattered stationed, the few were only thirty-six people, the medium was forty-nine people, and the most was eighty-one people, and the number of strongholds adjacent to each other had their own merits, and there was no law to follow.
Yi Xuan pressed the doubts in his heart, raised his left hand and made a series of gestures, several elders understood it, and led their respective teams to sneak forward quietly, all disappearing into the night......
