Chapter 333: Ambush
The passage of the Flaming Mountain is a very important route, so although there are many bandits and it is very dangerous, many monks and caravans still come here every day. When they arrived, all the monks would stay for a while.
The caravan invites monks who seem to be okay to join in and increase the strength of the caravan. The monks will also look for a team to join, and if they can't find it, the monks will eventually form a loose team and cross the passage in the Flaming Mountains together.
Although this passage is very dangerous because it is occupied by bandits, it must be encountered. This passage is hundreds of miles wide, and it is full of strange peaks, canyons, ravines, and caves. Various routes crisscross and are complex, like a vast labyrinth. The number of bandit gangs is limited, and it is impossible to arrange people to watch every place in these hundreds of miles wide passages.
Seven days later, the number of Kong Fang's Jinhai caravan had increased to sixty-one, and the number of monks who had joined the Jinhai caravan had reached sixteen. Among them, there are early stage cultivators of the Transformation Realm like Kong Fang, and there are also monks in the middle and late stages of the Transformation Realm Realm, that is, there is one peak monk of the Transformation Realm. However, this peak cultivator of the Transformation Spirit Realm joined earlier than Kong Fang, and was one of the first few monks to join the Jinhai caravan.
With the exception of those in the caravan, the rest of the monks came from all over the world. There is a big difference in dress and character. In order to let everyone exert their strength, the captain of the caravan, a Soul Transformation Realm Extreme Monk named Mo Liubai, arranged a position in the caravan for Kong Fang, and the monks who joined later arranged a position in the caravan to form a defensive formation with the caravan members, so that everyone could play a role.
However, this defensive position is of a very simple kind. There is no increase in the strength of each monk. Just when someone is confronted with an attack. The companion next to you can help in time. Fight the enemy together.
In the end, this kind of formation actually depends on the strength of the individual.
Like when the original Qi Sect and Qianlong Lake fought together against the Jinyang Sect, all the half-blood demon dragons of the Spirit Transformation Realm formed a very powerful formation, allowing the attacks and defenses of all the half-blood demon dragons to form a whole, and there was also an amplification. That kind of formation is extremely advanced, and it is impossible for ordinary forces to have it.
It's just that there are no such advanced formations in the Instrument Sect.
During these seven days, occasionally, a caravan or a group of roughly the same number would enter the passage and begin to cross the Flaming Mountain.
And today. Kong Fang's Jinhai caravan had also gathered enough people and was ready to set off across the Flaming Mountain.
Sixty-one monks who were at least the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm formed a huge sphere and flew into this huge passage in the middle of the Flame Mountain, which was hundreds of miles wide.
The first route chosen by Mo Liubai, the leader of the caravan and the extreme monk of the Spirit Transformation Realm, was a canyon several miles wide, and everyone flew along the twisting canyon towards the depths of the Flame Mountain.
The passage in the middle of the Flaming Mountain was very wide, the terrain was very complicated, and the air was completely covered by the raging flames floating on both sides of the passage. Therefore, the monks could only fly in this passage, and did not dare to fly too high. You know, the closer you get to those flames. The higher the temperature, even the Transforming Spirit Realm cultivators didn't dare to get too close. And. The flames were churning, and sometimes tongues of fire swept hundreds of feet in an instant, and if the monk got too close, he would probably be swallowed up directly.
In this passage, there is a possibility of being attacked by bandits at any time, so the caravan does not fly very fast.
Along this canyon, the group flew for three days before turning into an underground cave. The underground cavern was pitch black, and nothing could be seen, but fortunately, everyone was a Soul Transformation Realm cultivator, and they could use the power of their souls to check it, and they didn't have to worry about going the wrong way or encountering a sudden attack by bandits.
Because the underground passage was not large enough, the caravan could only change its formation, forming a long snake formation. The cultivation of Kong Fang's deity was only in the early stage of the Transformation Spiritual Realm, so he was at the back with other monks who were also in the early stage of the Transformation Spiritual Realm.
The route in the passage of the Flaming Mountain is too complicated, and every caravan will take an impassable route every time, so that the bandit gangs active in the Flaming Mountain do not have a fixed place, they are all plundering everywhere, and sometimes, the bandit gangs will meet each other, and they will fight and rob each other.
There was nothing to do all the way, and it took them six days to finally fly out of this underground passage. There were no bandit gangs encountered in the past ten days, which made everyone in the caravan breathe a sigh of relief. But I didn't dare to relax too much, after all, I had only walked a little way now.
Next, the route chosen by Moleubau changed again, and everyone flew along a narrow mountain.
This mountain peak is extremely high, but it is long, Kong Fang They fly halfway up the mountain, they can only see the steep peaks when they look up, they can't see the peak, it feels like flying in the abyss, fortunately, on the other side of Kong Fang they are a plain more than ten miles wide and hundreds of miles long, so that this feeling is not so prominent.
Flying along the undulating mountain like a wave, no one noticed that at the higher part of the mountain, in a sunken position, there was a team of more than seventy robbers watching Kong Fang and them.
"Leader, although there are a lot of casual cultivators in this team, judging by their familiarity with the terrain and some casual tacit movements, they should be a caravan. A short, muscular monk with a full beard said with a smile on his lips slightly hooked up with great joy, and his eyes were full of greed.
In fact, before entering the passage, the people in the caravan changed their clothes and dressed up differently, just to reduce the possibility of being targeted by robbers, after all, caravans are generally much richer than loose cultivators.
The leader of the monk's mouth looked like a white-faced scholar, with fair skin, not at all like a vicious robber, but his narrow eyes looked very evil.
"It's indeed a caravan!" the white-faced scholar nodded with a faint smile, and suddenly, the white-faced scholar's eyes turned slightly, and he looked at the short monk beside him, "But the number of the other party is not much less than ours, and he rashly attacked, but he was making my sons bleed desperately, why do you mean this?"
The white-faced scholar still had a smile on his face when he said this, as if he was saying a joke, but when the short-faced monk heard this, his body trembled suddenly, and his face immediately turned pale, and he saw that the short-faced monk immediately knelt down on one knee, and his voice trembled and explained: "Chief, I have absolutely no second thoughts about the leader, I just want the brothers to get a little more gain, I have no other ideas." ”
Cold sweat broke out on the dwarf monk's forehead. The others also looked at the white-faced scholar and the stout monk quietly at this time.
"Hehe!" the white-faced scholar smiled lightly, and reached out to personally help the stout monk up from the ground, "Look at what you said, I didn't say that you have two hearts for me." ”
"Absolutely not!" the stout monk shook his head in denial, his fear of the leader was deep in everyone's bones. Because they are so temperamental that if they do something wrong, they will face punishment. If you say something that will touch the leader's bottom line or do something similar, it is even more life-threatening!
However, this leader also has an advantage, that is, he is generous enough, otherwise his subordinates would have been unable to stand his character and run away.
"Sons!" the white-clothed scholar suddenly looked at all the monks, and said loudly: "This is a caravan, it must have a lot of wealth and treasures, although the number of the other party is not much less than ours, but what are we?"
"Hungry wolf!"
The white-faced scholar raised his arms and shouted, "We are a group of hungry wolves, but they are just a group of sheep, how can there be a reason that wolves are afraid of sheep." ”
The corners of the white-faced scholar's mouth curled slightly, and his eyes became even more evil, "Sons, do you dare to follow me to slaughter this caravan and rob their treasures?"
"Dare!" everyone replied immediately.
The stout monk replied in a loud voice, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Just now, he proposed to rob the treasure of the caravan, but the leader asked him what his intentions were, but now, this leader took the initiative to take everyone to rob it, isn't he afraid of bloodshed and desperate efforts now?
He was dissatisfied, but the stout monk didn't dare to say it, otherwise he would have no chance to snatch the treasure, because he was already a corpse at that time.
"Sons, come with me!"
More than seventy robbers immediately flew forward quickly along the upper part of the narrow mountain peak and pursued the caravan where Kong Fang was.
On the narrow peaks, one high and one low, the two teams are also flying forward, but the robbers are faster. The robbers don't worry about the sneak attack of others, this is the base camp of their robbers, and generally no one dares to provoke them except for other stronger bandit gangs. And there are not many gangs of robbers who are stronger than them.
More than twenty minutes later, the gang of robbers had quietly flown to the front from the mountain peak above Kong Fang's head. The robbers did not stop after overtaking them, but continued on their way.
Leaving Kong Fang and the others far behind, the robbers quickly flew straight down from the top of the mountain and came to the mountainside. Then, one by one, they immediately dug into the ground and hid.
The white-faced scholar stood on a stone behind him, watching his subordinates quickly disappear into the earth, and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction on his face. I saw that the white-faced scholar waved his hand, and the cyan wind mana surged out, wiping all the traces left on the ground by those subordinates.
Then the white-faced scholar jumped off the stone and stood behind it. Looking up at the surging flames in the sky, the white-faced scholar once again showed a wicked smile on his face.
Mo Liubai flew at the forefront with two Soul Transformation Realm peak monks, one of them was a member of the original caravan, and the other was invited on the edge of the Flame Mountain, named Queiro!
Behind the three of them were the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm and the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and at the end of the line were Kong Fang and them, the early stage monks of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
Sixty-one people flew along the side of the mountain, unaware that there were already robbers in ambush ahead. (To be continued......)
