Hearing "Tonggui Ridge", Li Yan couldn't help but be stunned. He knew that this area should be a sub-mountain range of Fengliang Mountain, and there should be no other names. However, why did this name sound so strange? auspicious.
He and Bairou's ninth team had done missions nearby before, and were relatively familiar with the terrain in this area.
At the same time, some people in Gong Yuantai behind them suddenly trembled, and their expressions became a little nervous.
All this fell into the eyes of the slender monk and the plump female cultivator. They looked at each other, and this time it was the plump female cultivator who spoke.
"I have long heard that the 16th team of the 'Green Bat Battalion' fought at the 'Mogu Mountain' not far away for half a month. It seems that there are still some people left. In this way "We won't need to introduce the situation of 'Tonggui Ridge' and the importance of this place in detail later."
When she said the last few words of "importance", anyone could hear it. The resentment in her voice.
Before Li Yan and the others could think about it, the slender monk immediately said, "This is the compass and the control method for controlling the Yin-Yang Boundary River Formation outside this mountain. Please take it, Fellow Daoist Li."
As he spoke, he reached out and turned over the bronze compass he had been holding in his hand, along with an extra white jade slip, and handed it to Li Yan.
After handing the things to Li Yan, "There are ten caves here. The one we are in now is the largest cave in this mountain. In fact, it is also where the fighting monks gather.
< p> The time when the demonic cultivators come is erratic. If the cultivators are scattered, it will be difficult to direct them, so it is more convenient to gather here.The other eight cave entrances I just saw outside are each. Each cave can be used by at least fifty people, and they are all used for meditation and healing by seriously injured monks who have no time to retreat to the rear.
As for the last cave, it is deep in the back of the cave and belongs to the cave. The middle cave is the core mechanism and the storage place of the spiritual stones of the Yin-Yang Boundary River Formation.
There are nine monks waiting there every day. They need to control the formation with their spiritual consciousness and magic power at all times. As well as maintaining the normal supply of spiritual stone consumption in the formation, the spiritual stones there have detailed usage records. I will take fellow Daoist Li over to check them later..."
Soon, Li Yan knew it. As for "Tonggui Ridge", the second team of the "Chongfeng Battalion" is currently stationed here. The slender monk surnamed Fang is the captain here, and the plump female monk surnamed Yang is the deputy captain of the second team.
The current number of people in the "Chongfeng Camp" is fifty-six, of whom seventeen are seriously injured and thirty-nine remain. "Tonggui Ridge" is the most forward position on the way to Fengliang Mountain, and its two rear sides spread out horizontally like "feather wings".
The other garrisoned monks in Fengliang Mountain faced the enemy on the six peaks on both sides. The east and west sides were within the defense range of the other two defense points. Like the Qing Sixteenth Team before The enemy's location is on one of the "wings" on one side.
"Tonggui Ridge" is a huge advantage for Fengliang Mountain due to its special geographical location. Its overall impact on the demon army is a cone-shaped penetration.
This is also the most important main attack direction of the demon army. If the demon army stops all the way north, it will undoubtedly leave a nail in their heart, which will explode their core at any time.
In this way, taking "Tonggui Ridge" has become the first task of the demon army. Therefore, the fighting here was extremely fierce and almost lost many times. Every day, the monks used their flesh and blood to stir up the demons. ground down.
In just one month, Li Yan and the others were already the third group of monks sent to change defenses.
At first, Li Yan was a little relieved when he heard this. It sounded like the casualties were not as high as those of the Qing Sixteenth Team. The Qing Sixteenth Team had a casualty rate of over 70% in half a month. Although the cost was heavy, the casualties were actually much less than here.
When the monk surnamed Fang saw Li Yan's expression, he immediately added with a smile.
"We have been here for half a month. The second team has been replenished four times just to replenish monks on the battlefield, and each time it has been replenished to a hundred people.
Now the third team There are only six monks in the second team of the 'Chongfeng Battalion', and the rest are the monks who survived the previous recruitments.
Moreover, the first captain was also a monk from the Demon Sect, who died in the battle five days ago. "Yes, I am the temporarily appointed captain, but my qualifications are obviously not enough, so I have Fellow Daoist Yang as the deputy captain to fight against the enemy together."
After hearing the calm and unwavering words of the monk surnamed Fang, not only was he Li Yan was startled. Except for the old monks from the Qing Sixteenth Team whose faces kept twitching, the rest of the people behind him took a deep breath, and many monks' faces became embarrassed.
Calculated this way, there are at least 200 to 300 death monks here in half a month. There is a probability of about 15 people dying every day. How many days can a hundred people here survive? Consume it this way.
Some monks had already lost their composure, their eyes began to wander, and they looked around. They were either trying to determine whether what Fang said was true or false, or they were trying to save their lives safely, or even escape. Thoughts have been born.
Li Yan himself was silent for a while, thinking about the situation he was about to face.
Seeing the expressions of Li Yan and others, the monk surnamed Fang looked tiredly at his companions who had been with him through life and death in the cave, twitching the corners of his mouth and revealing a smile that could be regarded as a smile.
"It's a coincidence that you came today. At least you didn't catch up with the demon attack. This may be the best send-off for us.
We have been beaten and our morale is low. We can no longer fight, which is the main reason why the higher authorities sent you here to take over the defense, just like when we came here to take over the defense.
Thinking about it, Fellow Daoist Li has already felt what is going on here.What a different atmosphere? "
"Death, numbness! "
Li Yan's thoughts were interrupted, but he quickly said softly that everyone he saw when he came here seemed to be indifferent to everything around him.
He doesn’t care about his own image, how he sees himself in other people’s eyes, nor how others feel. His expression is dull, his body exudes a strong sense of death, and he is indifferent to everything around him and to life.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
The monk named Fang sighed heavily
“Yes, everyone here suffers from death and depression every day. Facing death and watching our companions around us fall and disappear one by one, we are powerless.
We can only try our best to save ourselves and survive.
Then he continued to kill and be killed, roaring at the top of his lungs, blood kept flying up, throwing up, and then spilling, consuming all his mana, trying to kill those damn enemies, and working hard to protect himself Immortal.
Later, every attack was like a puppet, just attacking numbly until one party fell down. The last time it was the other party, and the next time it might be himself.
Hahaha, the seniors finally sent someone to change the defense, otherwise we really don’t know how long we can last! "
The monk surnamed Fang smiled softly in his deep tiredness, but everyone could hear the deep boredom and helplessness in his laughter.
Next, there was another There was a period of silence.
After that, the monk surnamed Fang took Li Yan to the core mechanism of the "Yin Yang Boundary River Formation" and took out all the jade slips that recorded the consumption of spirit stones.
At this time, the handover between the two parties was basically completed. Afterwards, the monk surnamed Fang pondered for a while, and then told Li Yan personally about the important places in the "Yin Yang Boundary River Formation"
For example, the yin and yang inversion between the gates of death and the gates of life, the directions where the enemy attacks most often, etc. This at least saves Li Yan a lot of time to understand the mountain formation
In this regard, Li Yan also felt that the monk surnamed Fang was very responsible, which added to his good sense.
When Li Yan and the others stood on the simple platform again, Li Yan felt that he was very responsible. Yan saw all the monks in the second team of the "Chongfeng Camp", including some unconscious monks who had been trapped by flying magic weapons.
There were a total of fifty-six people in the second team of the "Chongfeng Camp". When leaving here, Li Yan saw the tears in many people's eyes from their dull expressions, and the consciousness that swept over and over to every corner of the mountain.
These people still didn't show any direction. Li Yan and the others said goodbye. Only the monk surnamed Fang and the female cultivator surnamed Yang said goodbye gently. After Li Yan activated the formation, he led everyone away
just before leaving. At that time, the monk surnamed Fang sent a message to Li Yan.Sea of Consciousness: "Friend Daoist Li, you need to be careful of premeditated attacks by the demons. Their attacks in the past two days are much less intense than in the previous days.
However, the attack range is wider. , I find that their attacks always seem to be testing something. Is it the ultimate defense strength of our formation? Or is it the actual number of defensive monks in Tonggui Ridge?
I don’t know! There is a feeling that the demons are brewing a big attack. It is very strange like today. There has been no movement from the other party for three hours."
At this point, the voice came from Li. The words came to an abrupt stop, the monk surnamed Fang had already left with his group.
Li Yan's eyes were shining brightly, and others didn't know what Li Yan was thinking after watching the second team of "Chongfeng Camp" leave.
From the faces of the second team of the "Chongfeng Battalion", they did not see the joy caused by leaving, and they were still more indifferent.
Maybe their classmates, their partners, and their own memories once lay somewhere here.
In fact, many people understand that not long after the incident, when the second team of the "Chongfeng Battalion" resumes its combat strength, the vast majority of them will still be sent to the front to fight against the demon army. Fight again.
Death may be a matter of time, and many people must have lost the so-called hope of immortality.
Li Yan flicked the compass in his hand again, and the "Yin-Yang Boundary River Formation" restriction was opened again.
He still looked at the sky and did not look back. Everyone behind him was also silent, including the always good-hearted Bro. After experiencing a short contact with the second team of the "Chongfeng Battalion", they were all Realized something was wrong.
"You know why this place is called 'Tonggui Ridge', right? The several peaks we defended were originally nameless, but now they all have their own names."
Gong Yuan The sound from the stage came, and he spoke not loudly, but there were all monks here, and everyone heard it. Many people's bodies shook slightly and looked at Gong Yuantai. < /p>
Crushing bones and flying away, the most vicious spell in the mortal world, is where we stay every day.
We have heard of this 'Tonggui Ridge' for a long time, and it is extremely bloody. It is far from comparable to the 'Mogu Mountain'. The monks from both sides hardly survived, as if they were dying together with the enemy at all times.
I never thought that I, Gong Yuantai, would be so lucky to be involved in two dangerous places in this life. Fight the enemy, fight the demons, and this time we are at the forefront of the frontier."
Gong Yuantai's voice was calm, and suddenly he lost his previous emotions, as if he had accepted his fate.
His words made all the old members of the original Qing Sixteenth Team express their gratitude.Emotions are complex, with pain, memories, fear, and indifference.
Li Yan stood in front. He did not stop Gong Yuantai's words. Gong Yuantai's words could make a team lose confidence.
But Li Yan just stood in front, his eyes narrowed to a slit, listening quietly, letting it happen without stopping him.
