Chapter 310 The final step
As soon as Young Master Jiuyou finished his proposal, all the demon generals below quickly roared.
Even Demon King Kuihu couldn't help but utter a strange voice: "Military Wei, I'm afraid this is inappropriate!"
The mass slaughter of bison and the annihilation of the population will not only damage the ecological relationship, but also cause immeasurable losses to their camp.
There are also a large number of wild carnivorous jackals, tigers, and leopards living on the grassland. These monsters also need to be hunted and reproduced. It is also the source of the Kuihu Demon King's soldiers. It can cut off the Yuanlu Demon King's roots. To cut off one's own roots.
The ecosystem is a thing where one loses and the other prospers.
What's more, in the Hongyaye area in the southern part of the forbidden area, the entire plain is equivalent to their pasture. The bison is their main food source. You can eliminate the non-staple food, but it is a bit excessive to directly eliminate the staple food.
Don't think that Monster King Kuihu and the others don't understand this because they are monsters. On the contrary, they are in such a link and pay more attention to the relationship of the ecological chain than the human race.
As for why Demon King Kuihu attaches so much importance to it, Demon King Yuanlu does not pay attention to it. Instead, he plans to overthrow Demon King Kuihu and kill all the wolves, tigers and leopards on the grassland.
It's also very simple, people are the prey.
I've always been hunted by you, so you're not allowed to resist?
The whole day is precarious, life is almost gone, why don’t you care about the ecological cycle!
Demon King Kuihu is different. He is a vested interest. In order to maintain the stability of his rule, he must do his best to protect the current situation. The two have naturally different positions.
But at this time, Lin Shan and Zhong Shenxiu also stood up to support their elder brother.
No matter how many of your demon clan dies, we won’t feel bad.
"Your Majesty, just destroying the various populations of the bison clan will not completely collapse the food chain. It is just to prevent the Yuanlu Demon King from continuing to replenish the Fire Bull Formation."
"Your Majesty, think about it, is your elite army more important, or is the bison clan's food source more important? Once we break through Hongya Cave and destroy the Yuanlu Demon King's camp, it won't be too late to make up for it later!"< br>
"Which is lighter or more important can be distinguished at a glance. Your Majesty, you must not hesitate. In troubled times, you should use heavy rules!"
"If we cannot win quickly, we will have endless troubles in the future!"
……
The two of them are here to help each other, and there is no objection from Mr. Yan. Now that the three military advisors under his account wear a pair of trousers, Demon King Kuihu can't help but be persuaded by them even if he feels a little hurt.
After weighing the pros and cons for a while, he simply gritted his teeth.
Several demon generals were appointed on the spot, leading a small number of soldiers and horses to massacre the major buffalo groups on the Hongyaye Plain.
Demand that all the massacres be carried out and no one left alive.
Although several demon generals were reluctant to slaughter like this, they could not disobey the king's order and had no choice but to obey.
Lin Shan and the other three did not doubt the abilities of these monsters.
The wild monster groups are in separate camps and scattered. In addition, without advanced spiritual intelligence, it is impossible for them to resist when the Jindan stage monster generals lead their troops to conquer.
A night of silence.
On the second day, the rumble of war drums sounded again.
Demon King Kuihu, under the advice of the Linshan trio, continued to send troops to attack fiercely, not giving Demon King Yuanlu a chance to breathe.
The last time the Fire Bull Formation was unexpected, they suffered heavy losses for a while, but this time they were prepared and it was much better than before.
The Flying Tiger Army is on standby at any time. After the opponent summons the black bull demon soul, it will directly step forward to restrain it and inhibit its blessing on the cattle below.
The armies from all directions also advanced in an orderly manner, clearing the Fire Bull Formation step by step. Their fighting style changed from the previous aggressive approach and became much more stable.
The Yuanlu Demon King on the top of Hongyadong Mountain watched the bison herd being cannibalized, his eyes indifferent, all of which was expected.
It's just a delaying tactic. I didn't intend to use this to come back. It's impossible to come back just by relying on the herd of beasts.
After a day of fierce fighting, the troops retreated.
On the second day, due to a relatively conservative style of play, only four lines of defense were advanced. However, tens of thousands of bull demons were killed again, and the casualties on Demon King Kuihu's side were not particularly large.
Next day is the third day.
Still fighting steadily, we pushed the front to the twelfth line of defense, which was also the last line of defense. Further forward was the real entrance to Hongya Cave.
The Fire Bull Formation was finally cleared, and the cannon fodder of Demon King Yuanlu also completed their mission.
In front of the formation, Demon King Kuihu and three military advisors from Lin Shan came to the front line with all the soldiers and horses.
Looking at the cave entrance that is sunken inward and more than ten feet high, there is a cold wind blowing inside. The surroundings are heavily decorated, with various obstacles standing there, and the formations of rippling water curtains are superimposed.
There is not only a wide moat inside, but there are many small holes on the mountain, cannons with inscriptions inlaid on them, trebuchets standing there, and little demons lighting torches and waiting in formation.
In addition, there are hail machines, serial crossbows, strong stone bows, sky hammers, and spike walls.
Lin Shan and the three people's eyes widened when they saw it.
Where did the Yuanlu Demon King get so many city-defending weapons that only humans have?
In fact, these were all done by Dai Bubu and Zhu Duiyou in the past few days. Mr. Yan definitely does not have this ability.
Dai Bubu was responsible for supervising the production, and Zhu Duiyou provided the drawings, and built a large number of city defense equipment day and night. Although the quality is not necessarily guaranteed, it is enough to scare people.
Demon King Kuihu observed the situation quietly, and knowing what he was doing, he gave the order to withdraw his troops.
The people in Hongyadong were relieved that they had finally made it through today.
……
at night.
On the martial arts field in Hongya Cave, thousands of soldiers and horses were filled with murderous intent. Flags were fluttering and they were practicing diligently. The surroundings were decorated with fluorescent stones, which were as bright as day.
Demon King Yuanlu watched and listened to Mr. Ao's report.
"Your Majesty, the initial results of the training of the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation can already be used in actual combat."
"Well, not bad!"
Demon King Yuanlu witnessed the power with his own eyes, felt the mysterious transformation of this military formation, and couldn't help but be amazed.
Dai Bubu and Zhu Duiyou had been thinking about it for a long time, but they were still in the dark. They couldn't see through this military formation at all. They only felt that it contained the charm of the impermanence of life and death and the cycle of creation, and they couldn't help but be convinced by Mr. Nong.
Mr. Yan is indeed a wizard when it comes to leading troops.
Although Demon King Yuanlu trusted Mr. Yan's ability, he still felt a little unsure.
"Now that the Fire Bull Formation in the outside world has been broken, and all twelve lines of defense have fallen, I'm afraid we can only hold on to the cave entrance. I'm afraid that if you set up the formation tomorrow alone, you will be weak, so why don't I bring some buffalo tribes tonight? , Reorganize the Fire Bull Formation, there will be more methods tomorrow.”
Having tasted the sweetness, Demon King Yuanlu planned to continue playing this card.
However, Dai Bubu has recently led the intelligence team to investigate military affairs. He has just received news that almost all the bison herds on the Hongyaye Plain were massacred indiscriminately. Demon King Kuihu raised his butcher knife and killed them all!
Demon King Yuanlu was so angry that he almost ran away, gnashing his teeth and bursting into tears.
"Old Kuihu, you bullied me too much!"
I don't know if it's because I'm really sad for the dead tribe, or because I'm angry that the Fire Bull Formation can't be rebuilt. Mr. Yao comforted him in time and told him not to worry.
If we keep it in perspective, the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation is enough.
……
The next day, Demon King Kuihu led the army and completely launched a general attack on Hongya Cave.
This offensive was unprecedented, with more than a dozen demon spirits hanging in the sky above each army, and they used all their strength from the beginning.
Under Lin Shan's control, they bombarded the outer mountain guard formation vigorously and indiscriminately, uprooting each one one by one, and no longer adopted the strategy of interspersed and sudden advances.
Because we have reached the gate of Yuanlu Demon King's hometown, unlike the twelve lines of defense in front, there is no depth. Going deep into the cave alone is courting death, so we can only carry out traditional tough battles.
Some casualties are inevitable, but victory is right in front of you, and Demon King Kuihu doesn't care so much anymore.
Yuanlu Demon King's formation is still resisting with difficulty, but due to Lin Shan's cheating, it is very difficult to defend.
Originally, even without Lin Shan, Demon King Kuihu was not a vegetarian, and it was not impossible for him to lead his army to attack the formation. After all, they had been fighting for hundreds of years, and they had always had the upper hand.
It's just that Lin Shan's arrival can help.
In the small stone caves dug into the Hongyadong mountain, lights were flashing continuously at this time, and trebuchets, artillery, and stone crossbows were fired one after another. However, hitting the army could not cause any breakthrough for a while.
On the general platform, the sand table was still being used, and the troops on the front line were advancing rapidly.
The moat was buried with soil, all the monsters hiding in the water were killed, all the antlers and fences were smashed, all the sinkholes in the ground were filled, and all the hidden weapons were destroyed.
At this moment, the main theme between heaven and earth was covered up by the shouts of killing, and the next second they were about to enter Hongya Cave.
"Bang bang bang bang bang~~~"
The crisp sound of gongs suddenly came from the cave and spread outside.
Immediately afterwards,
“Dong dong dong dong dong~~~”
The sound of war drums sounded, and the rustling footsteps sounded very light, but they were clearly heard in the noisy battlefield.
Groups of demon soldiers dressed in apricot-yellow clothes and holding big flags ran out and blocked the entrance of the cave to form a large circle. The three inner and outer layers were like matryoshka dolls, and the shadows of eight portals appeared between the wheels.
The eight doors were all tightly closed, but wisps of gray smoke emerged from the cracks in the doors. The smoke filled the air in the wind, and in an instant it covered the entrance to Hongya Cave, making it difficult to see clearly.
Everyone on the general stage quickly used detection methods, but found that they were useless.
The green light in Demon King Kuihu's eyes was bewitching, Lin Shan's eyes were filled with dreams and dreams, Zhong Shenxiu's eyes were shining with clear light, Young Master Jiuyou's eyes were swirling, and even some individual demon generals had magical powers, and their demonic eyes were as wide as copper bells. It’s useless, you just can’t see the whole picture.
"What formation is this?"
Demon King Kuihu has led troops in wars for so many years, but he has never seen such a formation before.
The three people in Lin Shan looked at each other, and no one knew what was going on.
The armies below had already reached the entrance of the cave. A famous demon general led his soldiers and horses to rush in, but in the blink of an eye they disappeared without a trace like a wave of water.
There is still a tight octagonal army formation outside, and the gray fog above the head blocks all exploration.
On the contrary, deafening shouts of killing can be heard inside. Judging from the roar, it seems that the generals trapped inside can feel the anger, confusion, confusion, panic and other emotions.
After a while, seven soldiers and horses rushed in one after another, and they were all trapped and unable to break out.
The various armies outside, including the Flying Tiger Army, tried to rush in for rescue, but were firmly stuck outside the formation and unable to enter.
Obviously this military formation has its limits. It cannot swallow so many troops at once and can only be digested separately. But the key is that the defense is also ridiculously strong.
A golden lock floated in the gray mist. After locking with a "bang", the door was closed and dogs could not get in or out.
After half a quarter of an hour, only three of the seven armies were able to fight out, and the remaining four armies were completely wiped out.
"Wow!~~"
The octagonal army formation once again opened a gap, facing Demon King Kuihu and asking you to enter the urn.
"."
This time, the generals and other generals stopped moving forward. Having learned from the past, no one dared to go in and die again. They could only wait outside the entrance of the cave, looking through the military formation at the dark entrance, filled with surprise and uncertainty. Suspicious.
Demon King Kuihu did not expect that at this last moment, he would encounter something strange again!
It’s really hard work!
What the hell did this Yuanlu Demon King do again!
At this time, Zhong Shenxiu vaguely contacted the vision and seemed to recall the records in ancient books.
"Could this be the legendary Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation?"
All eyes looked at him with expectation in their eyes.
"The Eight-door Golden Lock Formation is said to be the secret skill of Gui Guzi, a master of military art. More than 100,000 years ago, the two human-demon tribes took the lead and led the coalition forces of all races in this world to fight against the evil spirits from outside the world in the forbidden land of the cliff. Gui Guzi disappeared as soon as he was gone and never returned."
"It is said that this formation uses a series of essences such as divination, terrain, astrology, astronomy, and military formations in Qimen Dunjia. It can be arranged by combining the huge deduction ability of the practitioner. There are a total of nine formation walls and eight gates."
"The eight gates are Xiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Death, Jing, and Kai. By introducing the enemy into the gate, you can artificially control the formation and use wheel warfare to encircle and suppress each arm of the army. It is mysterious and flexible, and you can use the weak to attack the strong."
……
After hearing this, all the demons looked at each other in shock and worry.
Demon King Kuihu looked back with memories, touched the back of his head and spoke in a weird tone.
"It seems that I, a hundred years ago, heard Mr. Yao mention the term Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation. Could it be that it was arranged by it?"
Now everyone stopped talking and just stood there dumbly.
It’s not impossible to tell the truth.
The Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation is obviously a defensive and counterattack type of formation. In the past, Demon King Kuihu had been suppressing Demon King Yuanlu in the fight. Mr. Yao was steadily advancing here, step by step, and there was no need for this formation at all, so it was not obvious. It makes sense in front of others.
However, the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation, this undisclosed secret, isn't it the secret of the human race's military master Gui Guzi? How could it be reappeared in the hands of a monster?
Is it possible?
Lin Shan and the three of them all had a ridiculous feeling.
After the death of their human predecessors in the Cliff Forbidden Land, forget that the inheritance was not brought out. Instead, they were all inherited by the demon clan inside!
Demon King Yuanlu succeeded God King Dayan, and Mr. Yao also learned from Gui Guzi!
No wonder this old man is so good at leading troops and forming formations. It turns out that there are such opportunities and adventures!
Young Master Jiuyou was very upset. If he had known that he would not listen to the advice of these two brothers and directly chased and killed Mr. Yao when he was expelled, then the inheritance of Guiguzi might have fallen into his own hands. He felt that he Missed a huge opportunity!
Star Gate Artifact, Immortal Talent, and now there is another Guiguzi inheritance
The flame of desire in Young Master Jiuyou's heart was burning brightly, and Mr. Yan was also included in his must-kill list.
Seeing that the army was blocked, Monster King Kuihu no longer cared about Mr. Guan Nong's questions and directly asked Zhong Shenxiu, the most knowledgeable person on the field.
"Does Military Master Zhong have a way to crack the Eight-Door Golden Lock Formation?"
