Chapter 294 Bad tricks come up again and again
The plan that Yuanlu Demon King had been planning for so many years fell short today. It would be a lie if he wasn't furious.
But now that the matter has come to an end, Demon King Kuihu has escaped, so there is nothing he can do.
On the contrary, Lin Shan, a human being, was able to break the unique secret skill it inherited from the God Lord Dayan, which made it unable to help but feel jealous and resentful that such a talent could not be used by itself.
When Lin Shan heard Demon King Yuanlu's solicitation, he felt a little ready to move, but he knew he couldn't act rashly now, after all, Demon King Kuihu was still around.
"Thank you Demon King Yuanlu for your kind words, but it's a pity that I am serving as a military advisor to Demon King Kuihu. I have to sacrifice my salary and be loyal to you. Please forgive me for not being able to obey your orders!"
Demon King Kuihu nodded with satisfaction, feeling quite satisfied with these words, and thought to himself that he had indeed read Lin Shan correctly.
Although Demon King Yuanlu felt sorry for him, he still admired Lin Shan very much. Of course, he did not rule out the possibility of estrangement.
"Mr. Lin is loyal and loyal. I only regret that I could not find him first. If you want to find him in the future, my door will be open to you at any time!"
Lin Shan's heart moved, but he didn't have time to say polite words.
Zhong Shenxiu next to him immediately secretly thought that something was wrong. If after this battle, Lin Shan abandoned him and Young Master Jiuyou and secretly defected to Yuanlu Demon King alone, wouldn't he be able to enter Hongya Cave first?
Thinking of this, he jumped out immediately.
"Thank you Demon King Yuanlu for your kind words, but you should not worry too much! My second brother, like me, is following the order of Demon King Mingsnake, and came here specifically to help Demon King Kuihu get rid of you. In the southern part of this cliff forbidden area, only If there is an overlord who can help you a lot when you are good, but you have little help when you are bad, I advise you to take care of yourself.”
His words directly blocked Linshan's back road, leaving no chance at all.
"I"
Lin Shan was speechless and kept his mouth open for a long time, not knowing how to defend himself. In the end, he could only keep silent. He secretly cursed Zhong Shenxiu in his heart that he was indeed his sworn brother. He had spared no effort to trick his brother!
When Demon King Yuanlu heard this, his face immediately darkened. Seeing Lin Shan's silent silence, his eyes became dangerous.
He glanced at Lin Shan for a few more times as if to keep it in his mind, and then challenged Demon King Kuihu outside the formation.
"Kui Hu, you are lucky today. You were able to escape from the place where Xuanwu refuses corpses. However, the remains of your spiritual treasure were left behind. Don't you want to take them back?"
Said.
Demon King Yuanlu picked up the broken bronze plate and deliberately played with it in front of all the demons, hoping to see how Demon King Kuihu would react.
Demon King Kuihu's eyes were about to burst, his two tiger palms were tightly clenched, and the fire in his heart was almost to the sky.
This treasure is his heart and soul, how could he not want to take it back?
"Well, not bad, not bad. It is indeed a rough embryo of a spiritual treasure. If I take it back and repair it now, I should be able to salvage it. Thank you Brother Kuihu for sending me the treasure, but I will be disrespectful!"
Demon King Yuanlu smiled softly and looked at Demon King Kuihu with playful eyes, as if telling him, "Come here."
Demon King Kuihu was so angry that he was shaking all over. Needless to say how precious this treasure was, the upgrade of this spiritual treasure completely consumed the accumulation of several generations of demon kings, as well as the rich spiritual materials and products in the Cliff Forbidden Land. This hole was barely filled, and one can imagine the amount of investment involved.
Although he had escaped with his life now, the spirit treasure fell into the hands of Yuanlu Demon King, which was equivalent to scheming the enemy in disguise. How could he not be angry?
Moreover, Yuanlu Demon King severely humiliated it in front of tens of thousands of demon clans on both sides, so where could he put the face of this veteran overlord?
However, no matter how angry or furious Demon King Kuihu is, he can still only endure it.
Ahead is the place where Xuanwu refuses corpses. There are dangerous earth veins, a grandmaster-level formation, and a large number of demon soldiers. It is looking for death if it goes back.
Although Lingbao is good, who would joke with their life?
Demon King Kuihu did not argue or curse. He just glanced at Demon King Yuanlu quietly before turning around and leading his men to camp ten miles away.
Yuanlu Demon King did not chase, but ordered his little demons to clean up the mess in the basin, and went back to find a way to repair the confiscated spirit treasure first. Otherwise, over time, the spirit patterns on the edge of the fragment may dissipate, and when the time comes, It will be difficult to repair it later.
The two sides returned to confrontation.
……
"Bang!"
In the big tent, Demon King Kuihu threw down his wine bottle. It was obvious that his anger had not subsided and he was still brooding over what happened today.
"Young boy Yuanlu, you are going too far in bullying the demon!"
Not only did he suffer a big loss in the Xuanwu Pit, but he also lost his spiritual treasure. Demon King Kuihu was so angry that he almost went crazy.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhong Shenxiu stepped forward to comfort and comfort him.
"We might as well think about it from another angle. In order to ambush the king, Demon King Yuanlu carefully arranged for many years and sacrificed tens of thousands of hard-trained demon soldiers before leading the king into an ambush."
"But because of my second brother's formation skills, he finally helped the king escape from danger, and the conspiracy of Yuanlu Demon King was forced to collapse. How can he be angry about this?"
"As for the spiritual treasure, although it was temporarily lost and fell into the enemy's hands, it was just kept for the king. After it has spent a lot of energy to help the king repair the spiritual treasure, and the king can take it back, wouldn't it save worry and effort? ”
……
Don't mention it, Zhong Shenxiu's words instantly made Demon King Kuihu feel better.
"Well, that's right. What Military Master Zhong said is reasonable. When the good news comes from Mr. Nong, I will definitely avenge my shame and make Yuanlu look good!"
However, Demon King Kuihu did not forget the biggest contributor to this trip, Lin Shan.
Lin Shan was sitting under the tent at this time, drinking quietly and saying nothing.
In fact, he was thinking about the reaction of Demon King Yuanlu during the day. After all, this demon is extremely talented, is a master of formations, and has obtained the spiritual treasure of Demon King Kuihu. It is much more difficult to deal with than he thought before. .
If you want to help Demon King Kuihu completely defeat Demon King Yuanlu, then the energy and time spent will be immeasurable, and I don’t know which one is more cost-effective than sneaking over and directly defecting to Demon King Yuanlu.
It's just a pity that this kid Zhong Shenxiu has directly blocked his escape route, and now it seems that he can only go to the dark side in the Kuihu Demon King's camp.
Demon King Kuihu saw that Lin Shan was still wandering in the world, so he did not blame him. Instead, he filled up his wine bottle and came to Lin Shan in person.
"Thanks to Military Advisor Lin today, I didn't expect that the Military Advisor was also a formation master. I was almost blind because I didn't realize how powerful the Military Advisor was in advance. I am here to apologize."
Lin Shan can break through the famous Dayan Fantasy Sky Formation. He said that he is not a master of the formation, and others will not believe it.
But anyway, with the help of Xu Xingpan and Weapon Spirit Xiaoxin, it seems that there is nothing wrong with him pretending to be a little bit in front of people who don't understand the formation.
"Your Majesty, you must not do this. I only know a little bit about it. I am not qualified to be a master of formations. It is a fluke to be able to help Your Majesty today."
Lin Shan was very humble and never mentioned that he had any ability. He just attributed it to luck.
The more he behaves like this, the more Demon King Kuihu feels that he is hiding something secretly and just likes to keep a low profile.
Even Zhong Shenxiu and Young Master Jiuyou were solemn.
I didn't expect that Lin Shan, a sworn brother, would hide so deeply. When the three of them fought against Master Puchang, they didn't show the ability of a formation master!
Young Master Jiuyou lamented in his heart, how can he get the magic weapon back? Why does it feel so far away?
Demon King Kui Hu valued Lin Shan more and more, and repeatedly stated that he owed him a life, mainly because he wanted to use this to tie him up, and he was also afraid that Lin Shan would be poached by Demon King Yuanlu.
Lin Shan knew that Demon King Kuihu's promise was very important. If he made good use of it in the future, he might be able to seek protection in times of crisis and help save his life at the critical moment!
Compared with this, going directly to Demon King Yuanlu will only save some time and energy. You also have to regain the trust of others, and you may not get the results you want. It is better to continue to follow Demon King Kuihu.
Moreover, today's defeat is only temporary. As long as their attacks in the east and west are effective, it is still unclear who will win.
……
Seven days later.
Both camps received new urgent letters.
This is good news for Demon King Kuihu.
"Report!"
"Your Majesty, there is good news from Mr. Yao. It has successfully broken through and reached the entrance of Hongya Cave, the lair of Yuanlu Demon King!"
"And taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and neglect of duty, he almost broke through the mountain-protecting formation!"
Holding a bamboo slip in his hand, Zhong Shenxiu walked into the big tent to announce the good news directly, and placed it on the desk of Demon King Kuihu.
Demon King Kuihu picked it up and saw that it was indeed Mr. Yan's handwriting. He immediately laughed and stood up suddenly.
"Send the order! All sons and daughters, please pay attention to the movements of the enemy camp at all times. If there is any trouble, you must report it to me!" "Your order!"
……
Xuanwu refused to corpse in the camp.
Demon King Yuanlu had a gloomy look on his face. After reading the demon letter drawn on animal skin in his hand, the letter turned into ashes and disappeared.
The lair has been stolen. It only needs to know about it. It must not be seen by its subordinates. This will shake the morale of the army, so the evidence must be destroyed.
After all, there are so many demon generals under his command. Although they have been canonized as cave masters by themselves, there are always some demons with weak minds. Once they hear that the demon king's lair has been stolen, they may have second thoughts.
At this critical moment, the front foot had just ambushed Kuihu Demon King Wei Jing, and the back foot had caused trouble to Xiao Qiang. It was said that there was an internal agent from the enemy in the lair, which made Yuanlu Demon King feel nervous.
Hongya Cave.
It is connected in all directions and rich in natural resources. Not only does it have abundant renewable resources for it to support its army, it is also a base camp where it can attack, retreat and defend if it loses the Hongyaye Plain.
If the escape route is cut off, then it and the tens of thousands of elites under its command will be trapped in the Xuanwu corpse-rejecting land, with no strategic space. Apart from a head-on decisive battle with the Demon King Kuihu, there is no other way out. Optional.
Therefore, there is absolutely no room for error in Hongya Cave!
However, at the moment, he sticks to the Xuanwu corpse-repelling place and can effectively contain the Demon King Kuihu.
What if he turns around and goes back to support his lair, and without it to host the grandmaster-level formation, Demon King Kui Hu directly takes over this geomantic treasure?
This place can be regarded as a strategic location, and it has been managed by myself for many years. It would be a pity to lose it.
Demon King Yuanlu kept thinking secretly.
While thinking about it, I found that no matter what it was, it had to waste its time thinking about it, and there was no loyal demon clan think tank around it like Mr. Yao to discuss it with, and I couldn't help but feel irritated.
Half a day passed.
Demon King Yuanlu was still determined.
Divide the troops!
He personally led the main force back to the flood control cliff cave, and first drove away Mr. Yao who attacked the old nest. The Xuanwu Corpse Rejection Area was defended by his generals "Qing Niu" and "Purple Sheep".
As for why he didn't send his men back to rescue him, he went back himself instead.
The main reason is that it is afraid of sending other demon generals back and failing to defeat Mr. Yan, so it can only go there by itself.
If I can get rid of Mr. Yan in a short time and rush back to the Xuanwu Corpse Pit, then things will definitely turn around.
"You two demons, take this. The refining traces of Demon King Kuihu have been removed by me. You can only use it in critical moments."
"I'll leave ten thousand elites to assist you in defending the Xuanwu Corpse Pit. Remember, your mission is to defend, and you must never step out of here!"
"It can take as short as three days or as long as five days. I will lead my army back. As long as we can hold on, we can re-establish our advantage."
……
Demon King Yuanlu handed most of the recently repaired spiritual treasures and bronze statues into the hands of two of his close relatives, the demon generals, and repeatedly told them to guard the Xuanwu Corpse Rejection Area.
The second demon kept nodding his head, patting his chest and humming, indicating that he would defend this place even to death.
Although Demon King Yuanlu trusted them, he still felt uneasy. After all, Demon King Kuihu also had a formation master, so he spent another half a day changing the trapped formation and forbidden formation, hoping to delay it a little longer. Yes a little.
After doing this, Demon King Yuanlu knew that he could not delay any longer.
There is an emergency over at Hongya Cave. Mr. Yao is leading the "Flying Bear Army" to attack fiercely. The old, weak, sick and disabled people guarding the house may not be able to resist, so they can only cut the mess quickly!
That night, the Yuanlu Demon King quietly led his army, carrying sheep with grass in their hands and horses with their heads in their mouths, and deliberately walked away from the back and side.
Little does it know that this scene has been watched by Gaopo, a demon and three people in the distance.
Demon King Kuihu quietly watched the army of Demon King Yuanlu, wrapped in horse hooves and galloping away in the night, feeling happy and his eyes shining brightly.
"This moment is finally coming!"
Zhong Shenxiu was still so positive and was the first to agree every time. He couldn't tell that the proud son of White Deer Academy had the potential to be a bitch.
"Your Majesty, great blessings have spread to the heavens. If you attack the east and west, you will succeed immediately!"
"The Yuanlu Demon King has fallen into the trap and will become a turtle in the urn sooner or later. Here, Zhong has no choice but to congratulate the king in advance. The rebels in the southern part of the Cliff Forbidden Land will soon become history and turn into ashes!"
"And the Demon Clan's genius, Demon King Yuanlu, will also become an insignificant stumbling block on the road to the king's dominance!"
"Your Majesty, I can't wait any longer. Please allow me to have some troops to take the lead in chasing down Demon King Yuanlu and be the vanguard to open the way!"
……
Zhong Shenxiu knelt down on one knee and begged for his life, said a lot of flattering words, and finally made a sudden circle before revealing his true intention.
Lin Shan and Young Master Jiuyou were shocked.
Good boy!
It’s all based on your calculation.
Still asking for military power to clear the way?
I think it’s a lie that you opened the way, but it’s true that you kidnapped people and went to Hongyadong to work alone!
Lin Shan refused to lag behind others and quickly asked for orders.
"Your Majesty, my third brother is unable to support himself alone. Why don't I have an army and open a road with my third brother!"
Demon King Kuihu looked hesitant and undecided.
"Commander Zhong and Counselor Lin, you are both gone, and Mr. Yan is not with me. What if I want to ask you something and I can't find anyone?"
Demon King Kuihu was more honest, so he didn't think much about it. He simply felt that his brain was not resourceful enough, and he needed these two people to stay by his side to check for leaks and fill in the gaps.
As for the third person, Young Master Jiuyou, Demon King Kui Hu subconsciously felt that he was not as good as Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu, but he did not say it explicitly to save face.
At this time, Young Master Jiuyou stepped forward.
He had to stand up.
Because his primary purpose was not to enter Hongya Cave, but to look for opportunities with Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu, there was no way he would be left alone.
It's just that he didn't mention that he would also lead the troops to clear the way. He could see that Demon King Kuihu didn't want these two people to leave.
Well, "cheating brothers" has become a tradition anyway, so naturally we can't let those two get what they want.
"The king's concerns are true. My second and third brothers are indeed not suitable to open the way. It is the general's duty to lead troops. How can there be any reason to let military advisors go into battle to kill the enemy?"
Demon King Kuihu nodded repeatedly.
"Commander Wei, please advise these two military advisors. Young and passionate people, I understand. There is no need to be so impulsive. It is good to strategize and win thousands of miles away! Not only is it safe to be with me, but you can also chat from time to time. How wonderful!"
Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu cursed inwardly, who wants to chat with you? Do we have business to do?
But now that people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads and can only say so respectfully.
However, Young Master Jiuyou did not just hold back his brothers, but instead made another suggestion.
"Your Majesty, now that Demon King Yuanlu has returned with his troops, we should also send a message to Mr. Nian and agree on the time and place of the siege, so as to prepare for a flanking attack!"
Demon King Kuihu slapped his head: "Oh my, my memory is terrible, please send a demon messenger to contact Mr. Nong as soon as possible!"
Young Master Jiuyou's mind was flashing with conspiracies and conspiracies, and he clasped his fists in begging for mercy.
"It is better to leave it to Wei Chen to contact Mr. Nong."
Demon King Kuihu did not doubt that he was there. Instead, he was very happy that Young Master Jiuyou took the initiative to share his worries, and he agreed immediately.
"Then there is Military Advisor Lao Wei!"
Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu's eyes lit up, and they realized that this was an excellent opportunity to trick Mr. Embarrassing!
As far away as Hongya Cave, Mr. Yan, who was leading a fierce attack, was still conscientiously adhering to his policy of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao. He did not realize at all that he had already been targeted.
