Chapter 391 Accident
This is a strange state.
At first Li Yan thought it was the legendary wandering spirit, but after calming down his mind, he discovered that it was not the case.
It is not difficult to do such a thing as wandering in a fugue.
The cultivation method in this world focuses on preserving the spirit. Divine Soul itself is very powerful. After reaching Fourth Floor, you can Yin Soul travel.
But this kind of travel has great disadvantages.
First, it must have a superior method, and second, it cannot be separated from the protection of powerful magic weapons. Otherwise, it will be like Lonely Souls and Wild Ghosts. The strong wind blows, the earth freezes, and the sun burns... If you encounter any of them, your soul will be shattered.
Back then, Liu Gang and Yin Soul went on a trip and went to Guan Family Village to warn them, but they were protected by the magic weapon "Profound Yellow Heavenly Talisman".
Even so, when attacking Earth Immortal Cave, he did not dare Yin Soul go out to investigate, lest someone break his soul.
Moreover, when Yin Soul travels, his physical body is also in an ownerless state. Just like an open room, it will attract countless Lonely Souls and Wild Ghosts. If someone destroys the physical body, it will be even more unlucky.
Therefore, Yin Soul is rarely used when traveling.
Unless you reach the sixth floor, Yin Soul will show his combat power when traveling, remotely driving magic weapons, magic arrays, etc. to fight.
And when you reach the Jiuzhong Tower, you will become the Yang God.
Li Yan can feel that he is Divine Soul stable and has not left his eyebrows, so he is not wandering in a fugue.
This is a superb technique that blends into the mountains, rivers and land. Every plant and tree around becomes eyes, allowing you to see the distance.
It's the power of the mountain god!
In other words, it is God's Eye!
Presumably the gods in those City God Temple, Daoist temples, and Attendant have this kind of power, so they can discover evil spirits in the territory.
Li Yan held back his excitement and continued to explore outside.
With the help of this wonderful vision, Shennongjia, which was covered by clouds and fog, finally lifted the mysterious veil, allowing him to see the specific landforms.
Soon, he saw a familiar place.
It is the ruins occupied by the Shen Kui Tribe.
According to the calculation of the direction, they have now entered a deeper area to the northwest of Shennongjia, and the ruins are to the southeast.
However, we can only watch from a distance. If we go further, we will be repelled by a force, which is cold and cold, like a beast peeping at us.
Li Yan knows that this must be the leader of the Shen Kui Tribe, another mountain god "Bai Gong".
He didn't dare to mess around and watched carefully.
When I took a look, I immediately noticed something strange.
There was obviously a big battle in the mountains and forests last night.
Shen Kui Tribe The large forest further south was swept by a storm, and the trees were broken and collapsed. In many places, thick smoke was burning.
This is...New-Style Gunpowder!
Shen Kui Tribe Outside, the pile of bones was also much higher, with more human heads piled up, and there were several godheads outside the cave, tearing apart human legs with their mouths full of blood.
There are also many corpses of various beasts, most of which have mutilated limbs and blackened fur. They must have been killed by gunpowder and then became food for the gods...
Li Yan was shocked and explored along this area.
Looking across the deep mountains and canyons, several wooden watchtowers suddenly appeared on the mountainside ten miles away.
Soldiers wearing leather armor were patrolling above, and falcons were flying in the sky, always observing the movement on the other side.
After climbing over this mountain, there is a plateau basin surrounded by several peaks. It is barren of grass and covered with sludge swamps, with a large lake in the center.
The lake is calm and just a pool of stagnant water.
Along the swamp, there were densely packed corpses lying on the ground. All of them died on their knees with their hands tied, with white nematodes crawling around their bodies.
At first glance, it is the unlucky ghost who was sacrificed.
What makes Li Yan even more frightened is that on the hillside near Baokang County, countless people are digging, seemingly to create a waterway to connect the lake to the outside world.
Wow~
Suddenly, the lake stirred up huge waves, and there seemed to be a deep black shadow hovering below.
The cruel and cruel thoughts hit my face, like thousands of steel needles piercing my forehead, and my eyes quickly receded...
"Thank you, senior."
Li Yan slowly opened his eyes, respectfully bowed his hands and stepped back.
The next person to go up was Gong Qun. After all, he represented the imperial court. He followed him this time, firstly to lead the way, and secondly to make sure the information was accurate, so as to prevent Li Yan and others from using false information to fool the army and lead to the defeat of the army.
He looked more carefully. After opening his eyes, he suppressed his shock and thanked him repeatedly. Then he immediately took out the map, which not only marked the location of Trapped Flood Dragon, but also described the nearby mountains and rivers.
One stroke after another, precise and meticulous, he is obviously a master of this art.
This method seemed to take a lot of energy, and the serious injury was not healed. After using "Zou Yu" twice in a row, he fell asleep on the ground with a tired face.
Before falling asleep, he growled a few words at Lu San.
Lu San clasped his fists sternly, then turned around and said to everyone, "The mountain god has consumed a lot of energy, and I am afraid he will sleep for several days. Yan XiaoGe, what should we do next?"
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "Shennongjia is surrounded by dangers. Now that the information has been found out, it would be better for us to leave as soon as possible and send the information back."
"Tidy up and let's go."
After giving the order, everyone immediately packed up their tents and packed their luggage.
Sha LiFei was in a very good mood, "We are lucky. Fortunately, we met the mountain god to help us, and we completed the task easily this time."
"Yan XiaoGe, I think this Shennongjia is a really good place. After the rebellion is quelled, let's come back and bring some gifts to the mountain god..."
Wang Dao Xuan was happy, "Brother Sha, your calculations are quite loud, but you really should send something over."
Just as he was talking, he saw several "Jingren" hurriedly emerging from the ground on the south side, running over and dancing and chattering.
Soon, "Jingren" was in chaos.
They all had panic-stricken faces and kept kowtowing to the mountain god "Zou Yu". Unfortunately, this mythical beast had completely fallen into a deep sleep and could not be awakened at all.
After Lu San heard this, his expression also changed suddenly, "No, Heavenly Saint Sect there is an army dispatched over there, coming this way."
Hearing this, Li Yan frowned slightly, "That Trapped Flood Dragon has a profound knowledge of the truth. I may have alerted the other party during my previous investigation. Please wake up the mountain god and leave."
"Don't mess around!"
Wang Dao Xuan shook his head quickly and looked at the sleeping mountain god, "I saw that the surrounding earth energy had gathered. The mountain god is connected with the earth energy. It should be some kind of secret healing method. Do not disturb it at will."
Lu San also nodded and said, "The mountain god has said before that it will take at least several days to sleep this time. If he is awakened by force, it may be more difficult to recover."
At this moment, the cave was in chaos.
A dense crowd of "Jingren" surrounded the mountain god "Zou Yu", their faces were ashen, and they looked like the end was coming.
Although these little things can escape to the ground, they have basically no fighting power, otherwise they would not survive by serving the gods.
Once the god dies, the tribe will also perish.
Li Yan just pondered for a moment, then spoke without hesitation, "In this way, brother Lu San, you are familiar with the terrain and can avoid danger, escort Centurion Gong back to Dragon Pool Village first, and send the news back as soon as possible."
"We will guard here until the mountain god wakes up."
Centurion Gong heard this and said with worry on his face, "The enemy is powerful and has even sent an army, Young Hero Li..."
Li Yan looked calm, shook his head and said, "No need to say more, just after being protected and helped by someone, I turned around and left without caring about them. I can't do such a thing."
"Send the information back as soon as possible. Once the imperial court takes action, the dilemma here will be solved immediately."
Now that the matter has come to this, Gong Qun no longer says anything, and clasped his fists seriously, saying, "Young Hero Li, be careful, everyone must be careful."
Although Lu San was also worried, Li Yan had already made a plan, and he didn't waste any words. He packed up his things, said hello, found a few "Jingren" to lead the way, and quickly left with Gong Qun, disappearing deep into the cave.
As for Wang Dao Xuan and others, there is nothing to panic about.
Since they formed a team, they have experienced various crises along the way. They have seen all kinds of storms and waves, so they are naturally not afraid.
Wang Dao Xuan looked around, stroked his beard and said, "If there are only a few people, it would be okay, but if the other party sends a large army, I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with."
Li Yan said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I have my own way."
As he said that, he took out an object from the leather bag behind him, which was Five Directions Fengdu Banner woven from Three Talents Demon Suppressing Coin.
"This is 'Five Directions Fengdu Banner'. It is my secret method. The Daoist Master will follow me to set up the formation flags around. When the time comes, you will set up an altar in the cave and gather Earth Yin Energy. Within a few miles, the soldiers and horses of the Yin Division can come and go freely..."
"This method is very good!"
Wang Dao Xuan Hearing this, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Sha LiFei also said happily, "I have such a good treasure, but I am afraid of him, so I might as well take the opportunity to kill him."
They have seen the power of the Yinsi soldiers and horses. Once the army comes out, no matter how many Heavenly Saint Sect people come, they can kill them.
"It's not that simple."
Li Yan said helplessly, "Everything has a root. To summon Celestial Decree, the Yin Division's soldiers and horses rely on the power of the netherworld. Now the formation control depends on the strength of the weapon and the conduct of the Tao."
"After setting up the formation, although it can fully obey the orders, the power will inevitably be weakened. At most, it will be more powerful than the ordinary Rampaging Soldiers. If the enemy has a master to break the formation flag, the Yin soldiers will also withdraw."
"So this time, the Daoist leader is responsible for holding down the formation inside the cave, and I have to resist the attacking masters outside the cave."
"There is one more trouble. The enemy is bound to bring New Style Firearm. If artillery is used to attack the mountain, the formation will not be able to withstand it. We must find a way to keep them out."
Sha LiFei looked at "Jingren" next to him, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile, "This is a simple matter, just leave it to me."
"'Jing Ren' has dug a lot of tunnels in the mountains. Then I will make a few Earth Fire Thunder and have them placed along the army's route..."
Li Yan was stunned and nodded. "It is indeed a method. Uncle Sha, I leave this matter to you. Let Wu Ba tell 'Jingren' that the Daoist priest and I will set up the formation first."
After saying that, he turned around and took out the long rope from his luggage.
This cave is extremely secretive, and it is in the center of the mountain. Only "Jingren" can get out of the surrounding passages, and they can only leave from above.
Put the rope on your back, take out the armored horse, Li Yan immediately cast North Emperor Swift Travel Technique, Hidden Strength exploded, stepped on the uneven rocks, climbed over the walls, and quickly jumped out of the hole.
After leaving the cave entrance, the mountain wind suddenly roared.
This is the top of a mountain. Halfway up the mountain is covered with clouds and mist, but above it is a clear sky and a scorching sun.
He had seen the scene in front of him through the mysterious method of the mountain.
He certainly wasn't bragging randomly when he said he could protect this place. Although this mountain peak is not high, the terrain is extremely steep and surrounded by steep slopes. It is very difficult for the army to climb up. It can be said that it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
As long as you use formations to block it, it's not a problem to hold on for a few days.
Thinking of this, Li Yan quickly turned around, put down the rope, and dragged Wang Dao Xuan and others up the mountain.
Sha LiFei and Wu Ba nodded and went down the steep hillside to observe the surrounding terrain and find the area where Earth Fire Thunder was placed.
Li Yan and Wang Dao Xuan, on the other hand, wandered around the mountain peaks, looking for earth veins and acupoints, burying Five Directions Fengdu Banner one by one, and laying formation stakes.
After placing the formation flag, Wang Dao Xuan returned to the cave, took out various magical instruments from his luggage, and with the help of the "Jingren", arranged the altar...
They were busy on both sides. Sha LiFei and Wu Ba also went down the mountain, but they saw that they were surrounded by deep valleys, dense vegetation, and shrouded in clouds and mist.
"Great place!"
The two walked around for a few times, and Sha LiFei said happily, "If you want to go up the mountain, there is only one way, and you have to go through the dense forest. It is covered by clouds and fog, and you have to get close if you want to use firearms."
"Just choose it in the forest!"
After that, he looked at Wu Ba next to him and said, "Call those little guys out. I'll tell them the location and let them write it down."
Although Wu Ba is a clumsy speaker and is not very good at learning people's words, he can understand it. When he picked up the axe, he banged it on the ground twice.
Swish, swish, swish!
The little "Jingren" immediately came out. Wu Ba whispered Superior Language for a while, and these little guys followed the two of them into the dense forest.
"Here!"
Sha LiFei circled around, found a place to enter the forest, and took out a modified Earth Fire Thunder from the backpack behind him.
"The demon has a sorcerer, so it must be buried deep. You can't use the stepping machine, you can only light a fire. I specially lengthened the lead..."
"Remember, calculate the time, light the ignition and run away..."
Sha LiFei took the trouble to explain, and Wu Ba followed the interpreter, muttering for a while, and these little "Jingren" finally understood.
They formed a circle, hugged Earth Fire Thunder, and all used Earth Escape Technique, instantly sinking into the underground tunnel, and then pulled out the lead.
Sha LiFei looked a little jealous.
With the help of these little guys, burying Earth Fire Thunder is a piece of cake.
It's a pity that this ancient little spirit lives in the service of gods and can only stay in the mountains and forests and cannot leave at all.
After a while of busy work, it was already past noon.
"Chirp!"
The "Jingren" who was scouting the road and giving warning came running, waving his arms in panic.
"Let's go!"
Sha LiFei knew that the enemy was coming and immediately took Wu Ba up the mountain.
When we got to the mountain, we found Li Yan standing guard at the mountain pass, with a wooden box in front of him and taking off his shirt.
Sha LiFei was stunned, "Yan XiaoGe, do you want to use this thing?"
Li Yan nodded and said, "It's better to be careful."
Opening the wooden box, what was revealed was a set of pitch-black full-body scale armor suits, with all vital parts inlaid with armor plates.
This thing is the special armor made by Earth Dragon Hide by a master of craftsmanship in Wuchang. This is the first time to use it since it was made.
Sha LiFei's face became solemn, "People are coming!"
He knew that guarding the mountain this time was not as simple as imagined, otherwise Li Yan would not have put on this thing.
"Okay, you guys will stay at the entrance of the cave later and don't let anyone interfere with the Daoist altar..."
While talking, Li Yan had put on this special armor. His whole body was covered in pitch black scales, and his shoulders, heart and other vital parts were all covered with armor plates.
Severing Dust Blade After the other magic weapons were installed, they suddenly looked murderous.
At the same time, an army of hundreds of people at the foot of the mountain was getting closer and closer...
Second update in the afternoon
