The moment the eight people stepped into the aperture at the exit, the dark space that enveloped them just disappeared. It’s just that at this time, Tianjihong no longer had the interest to observe around at the beginning. At the other end of the aperture, he could clearly feel the terrifying pressure brought by the fluctuations of spiritual power. Except for the timid Wang Qing and the two Except for the mortals, the remaining few people were all ready to join the battle.
As expected, at the other end of the exit, the platform on the top of the mountain looks much the same as when we arrived. As they left the Void Tunnel, their soles stepped onto the hard marble slab again. Looking around, they found that the structures here were almost exactly the same, except that they could not see dozens of miles away at any time like at the top of the mountain. The scenery, the surrounding stone pillars, the central platform with inscribed formations, and the central stone pier connected with the formation are all carved out of the same mold.
But now it was too late for Tian Jihong to carefully observe the difference between the two. The moment his vision became clear again, a dark gray bolt rushed straight towards his back. Fortunately, he was well prepared and immediately bent down and threw himself towards the open space outside the edge of the disk. He knew in his heart that the strength of the user who could achieve the release of spiritual power without the use of artifacts was beyond his ability to compete with.
As the spiritual impact rubbed his scalp and flew into the woods nearby, Tianjihong had time to observe the situation around him. He found that the group of people was in an open space in a dense forest at this time. Looking at the neat boundaries of the surrounding area, it goes without saying that this place was also developed by humans in a long time ago to build a teleportation array. It's just that although Tianjihong didn't have time to carefully survey the nearby environment, the appearance of the dense forest not far away seemed familiar, much like a location he had been in contact with before.
But now I don't have the heart to care about these things. The most important thing is to get rid of the immediate trouble first. What really shocked Tianjihong at this time was that in the peripheral area of the platform, there were no less than twenty or thirty people in his field of vision, and they were using their magical powers to fight against the spiritual beasts that kept emerging in the dense forest further away. fight.
Judging from the clothes of these people, except for a few of them, the remaining 20 or so people are all wearing striped merchant uniforms. They seem to be from the same caravan, and the goods and horses they carry are also tightly tied. Beside the stone pillar at one end, just because the battle has become more and more intense, even the guards assigned to guard the goods have been involved in the fierce battle one after another.
What makes Tianjihong even more troubled is that even though there are many times more monks left here than the eight when they came, the real situation now is that, including his own group, there are more than thirty people in total, but they have been The surroundings were tightly surrounded by a tide of beasts coming in like a tidal wave. The figures of spiritual beasts in the surrounding dense forests were densely packed, charging fearlessly at the humans who were defending in the center. The number was probably several times the number of monks currently.
The only good thing is that most of these guys who are rushing to the forefront of the battle are weak and small low-level spiritual beasts, which are not enough to pose a fatal threat to the human monks who have built a good defense line. As for the big guys with higher cultivation levels, they were wandering quietly at the edge of the open space. It was obvious that their unwillingness to attack was to use these low-level spiritual beasts as cannon fodder to consume the power of the human monks first. , and then take the opportunity to find a breakthrough to launch a devastating blow.
The spiritual force that almost hit Tianjihong's body just now was emitted by a stork on the left hand side that was as big as three or four people. This bird has green wings with red stripes, a white beak tip that is two feet long, and sharp webbed claws under its slender feet. The only thing that distinguishes it from ordinary storks is that there is a dark gray crown between its head. The crown feathers are shaped like two sharp steel forks that shoot straight into the sky. There are still fluctuations after the release of spiritual power on them. The previous horse training also came from between the crown feathers.
Of course, what Pi Lian actually sprinted towards Tian Ji Hong's position was only a very small part of what was spread out after the attack was released above his head. Its original target was directed at a powerful monk on the periphery of the platform. After Tianjihong quickly glanced around, he quickly focused his attention on the middle-aged man with beards.
What is a bit surprising is that except for the beard, this big man looks harmless at first glance. His facial features are round and there are no edges, his eyes are almost narrowed into a slit, and he is bald on the top of his forehead. Nearly half of his body is slightly fatter in terms of physique, and his slightly protruding belly makes him look like an amiable uncle. Even in his serious face at this moment, it is difficult for people to feel awe and disgust towards him.
But if you look closely, you can find that such a big man is clearly one of the strongest among the monks staying here. Compared with the uniform clothes of the businessman beside him, the robe he wore was embroidered with light golden patterns, which made him look more graceful and gorgeous. In addition, he was surrounded by stars holding the moon. Judging from the central position, this big man is probably the leader of this caravan.
The weapons this man is holding are also quite funny, they are two steel flying rings that are only as big as fists. In addition to the powerful destructive power of the sharp tooth-like patterns on the outside, a weapon of this size really feels inconsistent when compared with the physique of the big man. But what amazed Tianjihong was that this seemingly bulky man actually showed a handy posture when controlling the flying ring to fight the enemy in actual combat, and his movements seemed very flexible.
The flying rings wrapped around the palms of the two generals actually shuttled between the enemy's vital parts like arms. Judging from the corpses of spirit beasts lying at their feet, there were already five or six of extraordinary strength. The spirit beast was defeated by this flying ring. As mentioned just now, several powerful spiritual beasts lingering in the shadows of the dense forest further away, unwilling to show their faces, all have their souls locked on this middle-aged man at this moment. They all know that this guy is the one who has defeated their opponent. If this person, the biggest obstacle, can be eliminated, the human monks' defense line will be broken.
At this moment, when Tianjihong had just come to his senses, the two people from the Qingluo Sect beside him immediately discovered that this big man should be the backbone of the dozens of people staying here. So before Tianjihong could get up and react further, the two of them rushed towards the big man, as if they wanted to discuss joining the battle with him. Of course, Wang Qing behind him also followed closely with a look on his face. Now that the human side is surrounded, it is obvious that the latter's strength cannot find a breakthrough to escape, so those who are following behind these people must be now. The safest choice.
Tianjihong is naturally not stupid. In addition to having the same idea as Wang Qing, he also wants to find out what is the reason for the current situation of being surrounded by spiritual beasts. Generally speaking, it is quite rare for a beast tide to attack humans in such deep mountains. Not to mention that now they have reached the outer reaches of the mountains and are still at the node of the trade road. Logically speaking, it is impossible for there to be such a number of souls. Beasts can reach this area.
And judging from the offensive situation of the spirit beasts' raid, the current aggressive and fearless attack method is completely inconsistent with the style of these beasts that have developed intelligence. Even if they are forced by the powerful power of several spiritual beast overlords in the periphery, it is too unbelievable for the latter to gather and control such a large number of alien beasts to launch waves of offensives in a short period of time. After all, these guys are different from the previous two days. Like the Rabbit and Rat King, there is a fundamental difference in relying on the blood connection between the same race to control spiritual intelligence. There must be a hidden meaning in this.
After avoiding several attacks from his side, Tianjihong gradually approached the position where the middle-aged man was standing. Along the way, Tianjihong also gained a more detailed understanding of the current battle situation; according to his judgment, the fierce battle between humans and beasts may have lasted for some time. Fortunately, except for three people on the monks' side who were injured, they stayed aside to rest. Except for this, no other human corpses have been seen yet. But everyone's faces showed signs of exhaustion, and they didn't know how long they had been fighting here.
On the side of the spirit beasts, there are already corpses everywhere. Since the strength of the spirit beasts that are urged to rush towards humans is generally not very good, in the presence of such a master as a middle-aged man, now in the open space separated from the periphery of the platform and the dense forest, It was already filled with dozens of corpses of large and small spiritual beasts. In addition to the middle-aged man, Tian Jihong also found two other people in the team. The spiritual pressure erupting from their bodies was no less than the former. It was thought that they were probably martial artists specially hired by the caravan as bodyguards.
Under the arrangement of the middle-aged team leader, the three men formed a corner to station on one side of the platform, and led other less powerful monks around them to form a solid encirclement, guarding the road leading to the central platform. . When he saw the people teleported from the other end, the big man anxiously waved to Tianjihong and others to come closer. It was obvious that he had something to say.
When Tian Jihong finally squeezed in beside the big man, the two people from the Qingluo Sect and Wang Qing behind him arrived here one step ahead. Several people had already begun to fight fiercely with the surrounding spirit beasts while distractedly discussing the pick-up. Arrangements coming down. At this time, Tianjihong was also a little surprised to find that at some point, the young man holding a crossbow also came towards this place from the other side like him. The two of them joined the discussion of the four people in front of him. middle.
"...I didn't expect such a situation to happen. Our group has been here for almost a day and a night, but we haven't been able to wait until the teleportation array at this end has been charged. Fortunately, you guys came to help." The big man He was explaining anxiously to the two girls from Qingluo Sect.
