Chapter 313 Diverting trouble to the east
The next day.
There is still a fierce battle outside Hongya Cave.
It's just that the intensity of the attack was much smaller this time, and it seemed a bit tepid.
Mr. Yan looked at the Kuihu Demon King's camp from a distance and found that the flags in the opposite camp were fluttering and shadowy. It seemed that nearly half of the troops and horses were stationary, and only some of the numbers came out to fight.
It seems that Demon King Kuihu has been unable to attack for a long time, so he stopped doing useless efforts and started to find other methods. Mr. Yao was also happy to be free.
As long as the pressure on the main battlefield in the south is reduced, more force can be allocated to the other three entrances to resist those golden elixir stage human monks who are as annoying as flies.
Yuanlu Demon King thought so too.
As long as it can survive this period of time and wait for reinforcements from the Xuanwu Corpse Rejection Land to arrive, it will be able to sit back and relax.
Mr. Kuihu is now letting the water go and letting go of the chain, stalling for time is just what he wants.
……
In the distance, the camp of Demon King Kuihu was actually mostly empty tents and dummies. Those flags and flags were just deliberately left behind by Lin Shan and the others before they left, as a way to confuse the audience.
Of course, it actually had no effect. Even if the Yuanlu Demon King knew about it, he would not have the time to counterattack. It had already been overwhelmed by the old monsters of the Golden Core Stage of the Lu Kingdom.
The real three Lin Shan people had already set off from last night, and each led his troops back hundreds of miles away.
Along the way, you can have a panoramic view of all kinds of beautiful scenery.
In mid-August, the grassland was full of green, and all kinds of wild flowers were in full bloom. The ground was full of colors, and the three of them felt happy.
They each rode a little demon and chatted about ancient and modern times.
Lin Shan rode a black wolf, Zhong Shenxiu rode a spotted python, and Young Master Jiuyou rode a golden lion.
The soldiers and horses under the three of them are of different races, and each has its own focus. Most of the people on Linshan's side are wolves and leopards. The little black wolf demon under his crotch is very intelligent. He knows how to please this young military advisor, and he can't run at all. Not dian.
Zhong Shenxiu's piebald python, because of its race, always likes to move around in an S-shape when walking, which makes him sway to death.
The golden-haired lion of Young Master Jiuyou seems to be dissatisfied with someone riding on him, and deliberately kicks his body to cause embarrassment, but Young Master Jiuyou is a member of the devil's path, how can he be spoiled by it? Just slap a few big mouths and you will be honest.
General Xiong led the Flying Tiger Army to circle in the sky, slowing down and waiting for the group of dragsters below.
The three of them discussed tactical details on the ground.
"If you want to ambush the Xuanwu reinforcements in this battle, we three brothers don't need to take action. General Xiong and the Flying Tiger Army alone will suffice."
"Yes, it would be fine if we were on the first or second route. We would have nowhere to rely on for strength and would have to find a place to ambush ourselves. But if we choose the third route, we will pass through many beast territories along the way. It is completely You can divert trouble to the east!”
"In the Meteor Basin, I remember a group of wild birds, purple-headed eagles"
"I also remember a group of white spirit moths"
"There are also wild and exotic beasts, giant deer and salamanders"
……
The three of them laughed sinisterly. It was obvious that they had already planned the ambush and sneak attack, and told General Xiong how to act and plan the steps.
General Xiong was only responsible for acting according to the plan, and he didn't bother to worry about anything else.
The three brothers each chose their ambush location and separated when they arrived at their destination.
……
Two days later, Xuanwu rejected the corpse.
The Four Symbols Evil Soul Formation is operating as usual, with the green dragon, white tiger, red bird, and Xuanwu standing in all directions. They circulate endlessly with the help of the terrain, and the shocking power can be felt from a distance.
Because this formation is backed by terrain, unlike other grandmaster-level formations that require the consumption of demon power or spiritual stones to maintain, it can be turned on at all times and used as a daily barrier.
This large formation almost prevented overlords like Demon King Kuihu from falling over. This shows how powerful this formation is. With this thing guarding it, it is impregnable and there is no fear of being attacked by a sneak attack.
The left-behind generals here are Green Ox and Purple Sheep.
The two demons were originally the right-hand men of Demon King Yuanlu, and their status was equivalent to that of Mr. Yao and General Xiong under Demon King Kuihu. Otherwise, they would not have been sent to stay in other places. This shows that Demon King Yuanlu trusts their loyalty. There is also the affirmation of ability.
At this time, another group of people came to visit, and it was Dai Bubu and Zhu Duiyou who broke through the blockade day and night.
Behind him were more than twenty disciples of the Dai family, as well as the Yuanlu Demon King's personal bodyguard, the Lili Demon General, and dozens of his direct lineage demon soldiers who were decorated with glory.
Dai Fudeng handed over the token and token of Demon King Yuanlu. After checking and screening the two generals Qingniu and Ziyang, they talked with Demon General Lili for a long time and understood all the causes and consequences.
Decided to send troops to come back immediately!
Qing Niu continued to stay at the same place, while Zi Yang led five thousand elites to follow Dai Fu Bu and Zhu Duiyou back to Hongya Cave.
Because the situation was urgent, they mobilized their troops and set off on the same day without any delay.
Before leaving, just in case, for fear of something going wrong along the way, Ziyang took the spiritual treasure and bronze statue left behind by the Yuanlu Demon King.
This spiritual treasure was originally the treasure of Demon King Kuihu. In order to escape the danger during the battle of Xuanwu, the strong man had to cut off his wrist and keep it. The Burner Spirit overdrawn the treasure and was crippled before falling into the hands of Demon King Yuanlu.
Before Demon King Yuanlu returned to Hongya Cave, he specially erased the traces of Demon King Kuihu in it, repaired most of them, and handed them over to the second general to help them defend.
Now, at the moment of life and death, Ziyang takes it with him as the last trump card on the road.
The spiritual treasure is in hand to meet unexpected needs on the way home!
“Tap tap tap tap~~~~”
The army was launched immediately, rushing like thunder, and the rolling torrent left the Xuanwu terrain.
Ziyang specially selected five thousand elites with strong endurance. This long-distance support must return successfully, otherwise Hongya Cave doesn't know how long it can last.
On the way, Dai Fubu and Zhu Duiyou each rode a wildebeest, looking at the map to discuss the route during the bumps.
"Brother Zhu, there are three routes back to Hongya Cave from here. The first one is the closest road when we came here, the second one is through the swamps, and the third one goes around the crater. Which one do you think is more suitable for us to go? ”
Zhu Duiyou didn't think twice, it was obvious that he had already considered this issue on the road before.
"Although the first road is the shortest, the only road we must pass through is Jingqi Forest, which is more than 300 miles long. It is very suitable for setting up an ambush. If the enemy is waiting there to wait for work, we are likely to be in jeopardy!"
"Monster King Yuanlu fell into trouble there once, so naturally we can't make the same mistake again. What's more, we already alerted the enemy when we broke out two days ago. It's best not to go to such a dangerous place. A gentleman doesn't stand behind a wall!"
Dai Bubu felt it was reasonable. The place in Jing Qilin was indeed dangerous. Although it was fast and close, the risk factor was too high, and they could not afford to take the risk.
Zhu Duiyou continued to talk.
"Then the second route is even more undesirable. Not only is it difficult to move in the swamp, but it is also unobstructed from a distance and can easily expose our whereabouts. What if Demon King Kuihu finds us and sends troops to stop us?"
< br>
Dai Bubu nodded. Their mission was to bring the reinforcements back to Hongya Cave. If they were blocked outside, something big might happen. Demon King Yuanlu was already on fire and couldn't wait any longer.
Then in the end there is only the third way left.
"The terrain around the crater is complex and suitable for us to hide and march. The key is that there are forks in some places, all of which can lead directly to the north. We don't know which way we are going. Even if the other party wants to intercept it, they will never guess it. Correct route." "This way"
"Isn't it just for us?"
Zhu Duiyou's eyes shone with confidence. Dai Bubu and General Ziyang nodded repeatedly, followed Zhu Duiyou's instructions, and headed towards the outskirts of the crater.
The sound of horse hooves stirred up countless smoke and dust, startling clusters of birds.
This army followed orders and prohibited them, put away their flags and numbers, and just hurried on, with few demons left behind along the way.
Little did I know.
As they were running, there was already a conspiracy waiting in front of them.
……
"唳~~~"
"Chirp chirp chirp~~~~"
The overwhelming purple-headed eagles swooped down and launched a suicidal attack on the army without fear of death.
This kind of eagle is similar to a vulture. They both feed on carrion, so they live in groups.
Because all the eggs in the old nest had been smashed, thousands of chicks died before they could hatch out of their shells. As a result, they were so angry that they chased after them one by one, following the "clues" left at the scene.
When they saw Dai Bubu, Zhu Duiyou and the others, they instantly identified with the murderer's aura, and naturally wanted revenge to the death!
As soon as the army here approached the crater, they were immediately stunned. The ground troops were at a disadvantage when dealing with the monster birds in the sky. Fortunately, they were all elite monsters here. After being in a hurry at first, they slowly regained their strength to defend and counterattack. .
General Ziyang, together with a group of demon generals, led the foundation-building demon clan to ride the demonic wind to the sky. They had a bloody battle with the purple-headed eagles, and finally killed them forcefully.
"Bad luck!"
Dai Bubu and Zhu Duiyou also flew down with their swords, their bodies covered with feathers and arrows, and they kept spitting bird feathers from their mouths.
The army behind them was covered in purple fur, and was in a very embarrassed state by the flock of birds. Fortunately, there were not many casualties. This group of beasts was nothing to them.
It's just that they can't figure it out. If these bird demons are sick, why do they dare to block the army of Yuanlu Demon King?
General Xiong, who was ambushing in the dense forest in the distance, saw this scene and just silently left with the special forces Flying Tiger Army behind him, heading to the second location.
Then we continued on our way, the good times did not last long.
When passing by the edge of the mountain, countless white spirit moths flew out from the cracks in the rocks. Between the flapping of their wings, the entire army was directly wrapped in white dust.
This dust is not only poisonous, but also has hallucinogenic and paralyzing effects, and can knock down a large area in an instant.
Ziyang and a group of senior officials quickly encouraged the evil wind to blow away the dust. However, they did not expect that the white spirit moth has survived in nature for so many years and has also evolved some anti-restraint abilities. Once the dust falls on a living creature, it will be firmly attached to it. The adsorption is difficult to blow away by strong wind alone.
As a last resort, they began to kill these moths, not caring that the scene became even more smoky, with white lin powder flying everywhere.
At this moment, General Xiong, who was lurking in the dark, realized that an opportunity had come.
He led the Feihu Army to cover their eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and stormed into the Xuanwu reinforcements.
For a moment, screams and screams could not be heard.
The army was paralyzed by the poisonous dust and was unable to effectively resist. It was no different from lambs waiting to be slaughtered. They could only let General Xiong pick off the heads.
After Ziyang and a group of demon generals came back, General Xiong had already led the Flying Tiger Army away, leaving only corpses on the ground behind him.
This alone resulted in a loss of nearly a thousand!
The purple sheep looked up to the sky and roared. As a confidant of Demon King Yuanlu, it was an old rival with General Xiong. How could it not recognize him?
But there was nothing they could do except be incompetent and furious. The flying tiger army grew wings on its ribs and flew away and disappeared into the sky. The army under their command staggered here and there, and they could not catch up.
"It turns out it was General Xiong who did it!"
"Monster King Kuihu has discovered us and taken action. It seems that they were the ones causing trouble last time!"
Dai Fubu and Zhu Duiyou looked at each other and felt bad. This journey might not be easy.
After killing the white spirit moth, the army rested on the spot for half a day before regaining their mobility.
In order to rush for time, I had to continue traveling at night.
When passing through a depression filled with creek networks, a scalp-numbing "rustling" sound could be heard in the dark night.
Many monsters in the army felt pain in their feet, as if they had been bitten by something, and then they realized that the streams were full of amphibious creatures with big heads, giant deer salamanders.
This kind of salamander usually hides during the day and comes out to feed at night. The reason why it is called giant deer salamander is because of its large appetite. Despite its small size, it can eat a deer at one time!
Originally there were not many salamanders here, but they were disturbed by uninvited guests during the day and were driven here by setting off artificial smoke. Therefore, they happened to encounter the Xuanwu reinforcements at night, and the whole family had a carnival.
As long as you are bitten by these salamanders, the wound will rot quickly. Their saliva is soluble. Generally speaking, the flesh needs to be cut in time to prevent it from spreading and deepening.
However, in this dark and chaotic place, Dai Bubu and Zhu Duiyou had no time to think about it. They could only forcefully order the army to pass quickly without stopping at all.
There is no point in leaving these giant deer salamanders to remove and strangulate, and it is a completely thankless act.
Even if they are all killed, our own army will still suffer greater casualties.
It is better to simply rush over and save more vitality to bring back to Hongya Cave.
However, they wanted to endure it, and General Xiong would not let go of this opportunity.
He led the Flying Tiger Army to launch a sneak attack from the sky, and took advantage of the chaos to ruthlessly harvest a wave of enemies.
After rushing out of here, Ziyang counted the troops and found that half of them were casualties!
I was so filled with hatred that I couldn't help but roar at the surroundings, telling General Xiong to get out.
Dai Fubu and Zhu Duiyou held it.
"General Ziyang, don't let your anger go to the head. This kind of diversion of trouble and sneak attack is definitely not what General Xiong can think of. It must be the idea of the three human military advisors under the demon king Kuihu. Maybe just now They are also responsible for the sneak attack!”
"These people are so useless. Instead of fighting with us with real swords and guns, they keep inciting the monsters in the wild to harm us both. They are indeed insidious and vicious people!"
The two cursed and cursed, but there was nothing they could do.
Our enemy is in the dark, and the Flying Tiger Army comes and goes without a trace, so we can only remain passive.
After sorting out their mood and gathering some wounded soldiers, these reinforcements set out on their way home again.
Riding on horseback and whipping up the whip, we arrive at the fifth watch.
Looking back at the meteor crater getting further and further away, the hearts of the demons were settled.
Entering another road ahead, it is mysterious, quiet and extremely cold under the starlight.
The moonlight is particularly bright tonight.
The journey home is still half way!
