Chapter 307 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix
There is no moon tonight, and the sky is filled with dark clouds.
In the frontline position of Hongyadong, a group of little demons followed the Gray Deer Demon General in a sneaky manner, carrying a bunch of messy things and starting to set up, preparing to repair the first five lines of defense.
At this time, although the foundations of the five large formations are still there, after the destruction during the daytime battle, the formation bases in many places were damaged and need to be repaired and replaced in time, otherwise they may be completely paralyzed over time.
The Gray Deer Demon will follow the jade slips of the first five formations given to it by its adoptive father, the Yuanlu Demon King, and order his subordinates to lead a list of supplies to the designated location to find supplies.
The remaining little demons carried shovels one by one and began to dig ditches and guide them. Some of them were too weak to do heavy work, so they were responsible for placing horses, caltrops, and ground spikes. thing.
The gray deer demon will take center stage and direct the little demons to complete the work as soon as possible, because after listening to Mr. Ao's previous analysis, it was very excited.
If Demon King Kuihu really led his troops to attack at night, although his father would be ambushing him in the rear, he would also have to serve as a bait.
Bait is specially designed to be fed into the opponent's mouth. You can imagine how dangerous it is.
The Demon King Yuanlu specially ordered his adopted son to lead troops as bait, also to set an example of nepotism. It has always set an example for its subordinates in this way, and several adopted sons have died before and after.
Wanting to be the adopted son of Demon King Yuanlu is impossible without risks.
However, if you were given a chance to recognize the Demon King as your adoptive father, no matter how dangerous it was, would you do it?
Most people will probably happily agree. If you don't agree, there will be monsters lining up behind you to agree.
On a summer night in August, the night wind was biting for no reason.
The Gray Deer Demon General was carefully considering the formation diagram, and his erect ears suddenly moved, as if he heard something.
"Huh? No!"
At the next moment, torrents surged forward in the darkness ahead, and green wolf-like eyes were mixed in, like fireflies, dotted from far to near.
“Tap tap tap tap~~~”
Feeling the ground gradually trembling, the Gray Deer Demon General blew his whistle and called on all his men to be careful, but it was too late.
An extreme white light flashed before his eyes.
The leader was none other than General Xiong, the general under Demon King Kuihu. At this time, he had already crossed the army, flew towards him with wings, and slashed down with the mountain-opening sword in his hand!
The Gray Deer Demon General was busy resisting, but because the strength gap between the two sides was too big, one was a rising star who had just been promoted to the Golden Core, and the other was a veteran warrior at the peak of the Golden Core. The winner was decided in one round.
"Crack!"
The weapon that the gray deer demon general had hurriedly sacrificed was immediately cut in two, and one of his own forelimbs was also cut off, and blood was spilled on the spot!
The personal guards around him came to the rescue one after another, but were swallowed up by the following tide of beasts. They fell into it and turned into an inconspicuous spray. After a few flutters, they disappeared.
The Yuanlu Demon King, who was ambushing in the rear, had his eyes split open. Seeing that his adopted son was trapped in the enemy's army, his life or death unknown, he couldn't help but want to send troops to attack.
Mr. Yao stopped it at his side and told it not to be impulsive.
"Your Majesty, now is not the time. You must be patient. If you are impatient, you will mess up your big plans!"
Demon King Yuanlu endured the grief in his heart and looked at the enemy soldiers and horses still pouring out in the dark night. He had no choice but to stand still and watch his adopted son fall into danger.
At some point, a huge demonic cloud began to fill the entire battlefield.
Groups of demon soldiers came from the fog. More and more soldiers and horses gathered to rob the camp. It became a bloody massacre. In the end, only a shocking scream could be heard from inside.
The Gray Deer Demon General has bowed his head and been punished!
Finally, when the number of enemy soldiers on the battlefield exceeded a thousand, and the demonic clouds were no longer holding up follow-up troops, Mr. Nong allowed Demon King Yuanlu to lead his army to cover up the enemy.
Fires burst out in the darkness, and the relationship between hunter and prey was instantly reversed.
This group of monster soldiers had been hiding behind the Hongyadong Mountain Protection Formation for a long time. They had been suffocating for a long time as they watched their comrades and the prince being killed, and now they all came out to take revenge.
General Xiong roared wildly, organized his elite men in an orderly manner to form a military formation, and began to defend on the spot. He was obviously experienced.
Demon King Yuanlu sneered and directly ordered the entire army to attack. Demon King Kuihu would definitely lose his arm tonight!
It itself is standing still, because the two armies have been fighting for so many years, and the demon kings on both sides will use their energy to lock the opponent tightly. If they don't take action, it may be vague. Once they take action, they will definitely be targeted and restrained, and they will never let the other side take action. Intervene on the battlefield below.
This time, surrounded by ten thousand monsters and attacking from all sides, the formations of the first five lines of defense were also activated. They had been planning for a long time and struck later, making everyone in Hongyadong full of confidence.
However, things turned around.
Just after they all attacked, the large array of light curtains outside suddenly began to shake crazily.
Groups of demon soldiers came out of the demon cloud again. Demon King Kui Hu personally led all the troops and had been waiting for a long time. Under the guidance of Lin Shan beside him, he relied on the powerful strength of the late Nascent Soul to directly and violently break the formation.
This time the intensity is far greater than before, and it has been planned for a long time.
Lin Shan notified the key locations in advance. Demon King Kuihu had accumulated his power for a long time and struck at multiple locations at the same time. Those formation bases were completely destroyed before they could be repaired. The formation collapsed in the blink of an eye and turned into dots of star sand.
Demon King Yuanlu was furious, how could he sit back and watch Demon King Kuihu break the formation, so he had no choice but to come up to restrain him, and the two of them stayed together and flew in and out of Qingming.
The three people in Lin Shan looked at each other speechlessly, feeling the two terrifying auras gradually disappearing, and quickly led their troops to support the front.
General Xiong still stood firm at this time, as stable as a mainstay. He was worthy of being the right-hand man of Kui Hu Demon King. Even though his ability to lead troops was not as good as Mr. Yan, he was still considered a talented general.
With the support of Demon King Kuihu's army on the periphery, the two sides truly began a decisive battle.
In the dark night, all kinds of beasts are galloping, with numerous shadows, roaring and howling.
The ambush turned into an encounter or a field battle, which was very disadvantageous for the Hongyadong defenders, because they relied on natural dangers and large formations, and went out of the fortifications to fight in the field. They were no match for the elite demon king Kuihu.
In addition, the situation at this moment was too chaotic, and it was a mess. It was simply unrealistic for large groups to form an array, and only small groups of troops could fight independently.
Lin Shan, Zhong Shenxiu, and Young Master Jiuyou led their own soldiers and horses, coming and going on the battlefield like the wind, doing whatever they wanted. This time, the torture was much more comfortable than the battle in Jing Qilin. The fighting power of the old, weak, sick and disabled It is far from the same level as the elite at that time.
When Mr. Yan saw this scene, he opened his mouth wide and was dumbfounded. He originally thought that he was fishing for big fish with a long line on the third floor, but he didn't expect that the other side was also fishing for a big fish with a long line on the fourth floor!
Seeing the two armies interpenetrating each other on the battlefield, and the individual combat capabilities gradually gaining the upper hand, Mr. Yan decisively ordered the troops to retreat and signaled all troops to withdraw.
It wants to keep the main force for Yuanlu Demon King!
Fortunately, Mr. Yao responded in time, and the battle lasted from Yin Shi to Mao Shi, and finally allowed him to bring the large army back.
It was dawn, and there were corpses all over the field.
High up in Hongya Cave, Demon King Yuanlu, who had returned, looked at the front line, silently looking at the ruins of the battlefield.
Mr. Yan couldn't help but blame himself, and his face was full of shame.
"Your Majesty, this ambush was all the fault of the old ministers. Not only did Prince Gray Deer die, but he also lost thousands of soldiers and horses. I"
Demon King Yuanlu stopped it directly and looked deeply into the distance.
"This battle is not Mr. Kui's fault. It's all because Kui Hu has an expert's guidance behind him. Our strategy is not as good as ours."
"Your Majesty!"
"I know that you are the only one who can conquer the demon clan with your troops. If you give me time to train your troops and go into battle, you will be able to dominate the battlefield! It's a pity that Kui Hu and the masters behind him will not give this king and you this chance." Demon King Yuanlu sighed slightly. It took a breath, and it didn't mean to blame Mr. Nong at all.
Youdao means a profession and a specialization. Mr. Yan is a handsome man, a general, and a good hand in internal affairs, but he is not omnipotent.
As for being a counselor, there is something there, but not much.
Yuanlu Demon King is very accurate in judging people and has a broad mind, so naturally he will not punish him.
It's just that after the bloody battle last night, the already weak troops were even more stretched thin. Now, let alone ten days, I'm afraid even five days would be too much.
When Mr. Yao masters the Eight-door Golden Lock Formation, I am afraid that the entire defense line of his Hongya Cave will collapse.
This time, it is a real life and death crisis!
Once Hongya Cave is breached, Demon King Yuanlu becomes a rootless person again. Without the base camp to provide him with support, how can he train and supply his army?
The urgent need before him weighed on its thin shoulders.
"It's a pity that I am no worse than the old guy Kui Huna. Now that I have a husband, I am even more comfortable. I just need a real adviser to make suggestions and help me get through this most difficult time."
When Mr. Yao heard the sigh of Demon King Yuanlu, he secretly hated himself for not living up to expectations. Not only could he not help the king by defecting to him, but he had been defeated in a row.
But when it heard the word counselor, two figures suddenly flashed in its mind.
It's true that its head can't calculate Lin Shan's three people, but that doesn't mean those two people can't do it.
Mr. Yao knows the skills of these two people very well. If he can assist Demon King Yuanlu, he will definitely be able to make up for the last shortcoming!
"Your Majesty, if you want to know where to find counselors in the forbidden land of cliffs, I can recommend one place!"
"Oh?"
Demon King Yuanlu immediately turned around, a little unbelievable.
Is it possible that there are unknown hermits and sages in the forbidden land of cliffs?
"Sir, come quickly!"
Mr. Yan cleared his throat slightly and remembered the names the two young people had given themselves. They were so arrogant and confident, exuding unique charm, and couldn't help but be fascinated by them.
"Has your Majesty ever heard of the name of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix?"
Demon King Yuanlu frowned solemnly, thinking hard.
"Wolong. Phoenix chick"
“Never heard of it.”
"However, it seems to be very powerful"
Mr. Yan shook his head and introduced these two people to it.
"Wolong was born in the Yunchuan Academy of the State of Lu. He was eager to learn when he was young. He often compared himself to wind and musical instruments. He was well-versed in world affairs and had read the Six Books and Nine Classics. He escaped from disaster and strayed into a forbidden place on a cliff more than ten years ago. He was rescued by an old minister and is still alive today. Stay in seclusion in the valley of dust.”
Yuanlu Demon King's eyes lit up, he didn't expect that there was such a person under his nose, and he quickly asked Feng Chu who he was.
"Feng Chu was born in the Jingyang Academy of the State of Lu. She has a mountain ravine in her chest and a barrier in her belly. She understands the celestial phenomena and terrain, and knows all about the ancient and modern rivers. She came to the forbidden land with Wolong for the same reason, and has a long-lasting friendship with the old minister!"
Speaking of which, Mr. Yan and Yourong Yan seem to be proud to be friends with such people.
Yuanlu Demon King was moved after hearing this, he was really short of talents!
But he also had doubts about the ability level of these two people.
"I wonder how the sleeping dragon and phoenix chick compare to Mr."
Mr. Yan replied without hesitation: "Ten times as good as me!"
Yuanlu Demon King was shocked. Mr. Yan was so powerful, but there was someone ten times more powerful than him?
"Sir, are you too self-effacing? There are people ten times more powerful than you in this world. I will never believe it."
But Mr. Yan was very sure: "Compared between me and those two, for example, a horse is compared with a unicorn, a jackdaw is compared with a luan and phoenix ears, ten times less!"
Demon King Yuanlu was a little suspicious at this time: "How big is the gap?"
Mr. Yao was obviously obsessed and worshiped those two people crazily.
"Crouching dragon and phoenix chick, one of the two can bring peace to the world. Both have talents that know the world and are unpredictable. If the king can get the help of such talented people, his hegemony can be expected!"
Demon King Yuanlu gave a long look and chose to believe in Mr. Yan's vision.
"Excuse me, please come and meet me!"
At this time, Mr. Yao directly refused, and instead bluntly advised:
"Your Majesty, you cannot give in to people like this. You should go and ask for them in person to show your sincerity!"
Demon King Yuanlu accepted the advice and readily agreed.
He ordered people to prepare generous gifts, take Mr. Nong and leave quietly, looking for Chenyuan Valley to visit.
It just so happened that the army under Demon King Kuihu fought continuously from day to night yesterday. Although they won two games, they were exhausted and needed a good rest today. In this gap, Demon King Yuanlu was able to find another expert.
……
The valley of dust.
In a basin surrounded by cliffs, golden waves of wheat cover the wilderness. The autumn wind blows through the pleasant scenery. Mixed with the fragrance of wheat, it really feels like a paradise.
Demon King Yuanlu and Mr. Yan came together to visit. Instead of rushing in, they landed on the ground and walked along the field ridges step by step to show respect.
Along the way, I met several waves of people one after another, and after seeing Mr. Yao, they all greeted them warmly.
Mr. Yao just came here a few days ago, and now he is visiting his old place again, and he is very happy.
"My dear friends, Yan Kuan has come here rashly. We really have something important to discuss. The person next to me is one of the overlords in the southern part of the Cliff Forbidden Land, Yuanlu Demon King. He has come specially to meet with two of your talented people. Do you dare to bother me? Announcement?”
These human monks all agreed and sent one person to deliver the message.
Demon King Yuanlu entrusted the gift to be conveyed, and waited politely outside Long without going to the deep post to disturb him.
In a house deep in the hills.
The two young men looked at the gifts on the table. What was inside turned out to be nothing else, but two bottles of legendary spiritual liquid, a treasure that most monks loved so much that they would not hesitate to go deep into the forbidden cliffs to pursue it.
Luyu stalactite!
