Chapter 1543 Recruiting people
"Does Elder Gong want those people to go to the front and play forward?" Chen Xuan asked.
Elder Gong remained silent and only stared at Chen Xuan, but also expressed that he had acquiesced.
"These people are scattered and have little use as forwards. Unless we gather them together, they can be effective."
"How to gather?" Elder Gong asked.
"We set up contact points to recruit people who are willing to stay, explain the situation and powerful relationships to them, and then act together."
"No, it's too much work, and it's not beneficial to completing the mission. It's better to withdraw immediately." Elder Gong said. His starting point is still the task. With so many people gathered, the amount of tasks to be completed is even greater. Those who participate in the action are essentially the same as the disciples of the Shenxin Sect, because the Human Alliance stipulates that all sects must Complete the mission of killing the Orcs. Elder Gong felt that taking the lead in encircling and suppressing the beast clan was not worth the gain.
"Then at least be prepared to escape at any time, otherwise it will be too late if something really happens." Chen Xuan said cautiously.
"Okay, then we will slow down a bit so that more people can get ahead, and we will send people out to purchase food."
Hearing that food was to be purchased, Senior Brother Qi took out the fifteen top-quality wood spirit crystals left over from last time and ordered a group of disciples to set out outside the forest to purchase food tomorrow morning.
"Take these with you! The price of food outside the forest must have increased." Chen Xuan smiled and took out more than a dozen top-quality wood spirit crystals from his bag and handed them to the two disciples.
"Little Guitou, you are really thoughtful." Senior Brother Qi said with a smile. "Remember, you need to buy more salt and seasonings. The prices of these things may not have increased yet!"
The next morning, everything went according to plan. Those who went out to purchase set off very early, and the search team only spread out a two-mile net and slowly started searching. Sure enough, it didn't take long for many cultivators to pass by them. No one wanted to fall behind others to find something.
"Chen Xuan, do you think there will really be a tide of beasts?" Senior Brother Qi said worriedly when he saw someone not far away from him going deeper into the forest.
"Where there is oppression, there is resistance. Do you think that with so many human races surrounding this Black Wind Forest, will the orcs just sit back and wait for death?" Chen Xuan asked in return.
"The key is how many orcs there are in the Black Wind Forest." Senior Brother Qi seemed to be talking to himself.
"The area is too large, it's hard to estimate!" Chen Xuan also lamented.
"There is another cave ahead. Let's go and take a look. The beasts inside are definitely gone, but I wonder if there will be something left behind." Senior Brother Qi said.
"Less than ten miles away, we found another spirit beast's cave. Adding those found by other groups, the number of spirit beasts within a hundred miles has reached more than twenty. This also ignores the nests we have not discovered. Look. The number of orcs coming to this Black Wind Forest is very huge." Chen Xuan said with worry.
"So what, we just need to be as careful as possible. When that time comes, you must obey my instructions and escape quickly. You must not participate in helping others. Your level is the lowest, and no one will blame you. On the contrary, only if you escape first can others escape with peace of mind." Senior Brother Qi warned.
Chen Xuan nodded, and at the same time he was very fond of Senior Brother Qi.
Sure enough, no spiritual beasts were found in the cave this time. Chen Xuan had no intention of going into the cave to watch again. He just smelled the smell at the entrance of the cave and knew that it was Bai Kui's cave. The adult Bai Kui is a second-level spiritual beast, which is equivalent to the realm of a lion. However, Bai Kui mainly eats vegetarian food. Like lions and anacondas, they specialize in eating other animals.
Senior Brother Qi didn't know what kind of animals had lived in the cave, so he searched the cave and found nothing. Of course, he also saw some white hair, but there were so many animals with white hair in the forest that he couldn't figure out for a while what kind of animal the white hair belonged to.
Senior Brother Qi came out of the cave with a depressed look on his face, "It only has white hair. I wonder what kind of spiritual beast it is?"
"Bai Kui, a second-level spiritual beast." Chen Xuan said.
Senior Brother Qi couldn't help but admire Chen Xuan, "It seems that you have studied various spiritual beasts quite clearly!"
"I just read more books about the beast tribe in my free time."
"Then what kind of snake was in the hole we entered yesterday?"
"Anaconda, Senior Brother Qi, it turns out that you don't know what hole you entered yesterday until now!"
Senior Brother Qi looked ashamed.
In the whole day, the team of Shenxin Sect only advanced thirty miles. Compared with yesterday's one hundred miles, these thirty miles were really insignificant. The cultivators who passed by from behind were not more than thirty, but only twenty or so. Of course, there are some cultivators who find problems and slow down, but more people still choose to move forward quickly, especially those cultivators who only come together in three or two, who rush forward desperately because they are worried that even if they get If you lose your prey, I'm afraid it will also be snatched away by those cultivators with many people.
At nightfall, even the purchasing group came back. Sure enough, they brought a lot of seasonings and salt, but not much food. They said helplessly that the price of food had really increased.
Also, it would be strange not to increase the price. So many cultivators have come to this Black Wind Forest, and how can the food in the only small town outside meet their needs. If we go there tomorrow, the prices of seasonings and salt will probably increase.
The situation is becoming more and more clear now. There are many orcs in the Black Wind Forest, and they are all hiding together. But no matter how they hide, they can never escape the search of so many people. It is only a matter of time before they are discovered. When they are found, that is, when each other is defeated, whether they will launch a counterattack or break out separately depends on whether they have an organizer.
When the beast tribe launched a counterattack, it was the time when the disciples of the Shenxin Sect retreated collectively. When the beast tribe broke out individually, it was the time when the disciples of the Shenxin Sect took advantage and completed their mission. This was the plan that Elder Gong and Senior Brother Qi made on this night.
On the third day, the twenty-one people from the Shenxin Sect could barely advance twenty miles. On the fourth day, they only advanced ten miles.
On the evening of the fourth day, Elder Gong and Senior Brother Qi discussed and decided to rest where they were and be ready to retreat at any time. Because that afternoon, a team of more than ten people retreated from the mountains. Firstly, they had run out of food. Secondly, they saw too many empty nests and were very scared.
However, because of the large number of people, this team had no intention of avoiding Shenxin Sect. Instead, they turned around and began to learn from Shenxin Sect's methods, stationed themselves on the spot, and sent a purchasing team back to the forest to purchase food.
The person with the highest cultivation level in this team turned out to be a seventh-level cultivator. No wonder they didn't take the twenty or so people from the Shenxin Sect seriously.
On the fifth day, everyone in the Shenxin Sect stopped. Their main task now was to wait, and then go out to find small animals for food.
It's really strange to say that since the cultivators who came here all went to the mountains, the outskirts of the forest turned out to be a paradise for small animals. If people from the Shenxin Sect want to fight small animals, they can't go inward, they have to go to the outside.
At noon, the three teams sent out brought back a large number of rabbits, antelopes and pheasants from the outside, and a wild boar also became their trophy. Everyone was busy for a while, setting up bonfires, and finally the smell of meat came to the nostrils.
This made the group of people who had returned earlier drool with greed. These people had not eaten for two meals and relied entirely on drinking water to survive. They were all waiting for the people who purchased food in the evening to bring back food.
During dinner, the group of people who went out to do shopping really came back. Although they were lying on the ground tired, they did come back at the appointed time. But then I heard the roaring voice of the seventh-level cultivator, "Have you grown up? You can't even buy food well. You spent so many spiritual crystals and you bought me a little salt." , not even seasoning.”
The two of them were too tired to reply, but their faces were filled with grievances.
"Forget it, senior brother, there must be too many people coming these days, and they have already bought up all the food in that small town. Let's find another way!" the deputy team leader said. This team also looks like a fifth-level cultivator, but seems to be older than the seventh-level cultivator, but this is just because he broke through to the cultivator realm much later than that person.
"What can I do? I only have salt. Even if I go hunting, the baked food will be hard to eat."
"Looking at the 21-person team, they seem to be well prepared. Can we..." The deputy team member came up with an idea.
"That's all we have to do. I hope they can take the overall situation into consideration and understand our difficulties. Otherwise, we may have to intimidate them!" said the senior brother at the seventh level.
"The two of us went over to talk to them. The other disciples were of no use." The deputy team member really told the truth. They are the only two people in their team who can do anything, and the others are all below the cultivator level. realm. This is completely different from the fact that ten of the disciples of the Shenxin Sect are cultivators or above. However, in the eyes of that senior brother, no matter how many cultivators were lower than himself, they could not defeat him. Therefore, he did not take the ten cultivators of the Shenxin Sect into consideration at all, let alone those disciples of the mortal realm.
Seeing these two people approaching, everyone at the Shenxin Sect stopped talking, but the sound of eating did not stop.
These two people were not very satisfied with this situation. Logically speaking, if these people did not line up to welcome them, they should stand up to express their gratitude.
Frowning, the deputy team member said: "Fellow Taoists, the two of us are cultivators of Yuyu Sect in Feixiang City. This is Elder Yuan of our sect. My name is Wang Shicheng, and I am the deputy captain of this team. Our Yuyu Sect We were forced to withdraw from the mountains due to lack of food, but the disciples who purchased food only bought back some salt, so we would like to ask your sect to lend us some seasonings."
