In this way, the following attacked nine waves, costing dozens of lives, and finally exhausted the huge boulders stored on Soul-Desolating Cliff.
Seeing another wave of enemies attacking again, the girls seemed to be well prepared. He calmly took a leather bag from the side, opened the stopper, squeezed hard, and a stream of viscous liquid spurted out.
Even if there is a large shield to block it, everyone will inevitably be contaminated a lot.
When everyone touched the viscous liquid, they smelled the unique smell and secretly thought it was not good.
But before they could react, a torch was thrown down from above.
This liquid actually ignited when exposed to fire, causing everyone to scream in agony.
It turns out that this is the Western Region fire oil that is often heard in the martial arts world, that is, oil.
If this oil gets on your body, it will burn. In an instant, several people were all set on fire.
Several of them could not get up, and it was too late to get down. They fell into the deep stream while struggling painfully, and screamed across the sky.
People only saw streaks of fire like meteors, falling downward into the clouds and mist in the mountains and disappearing. Only the sound of screams still echoed in the mountains.
There was no one on the rows of stairs, and only the remaining fire oil was still burning and flowing along the stairs, burning the flesh and blood on the stairs, and a disgusting smell wafted nearby.
All of a sudden, those cave masters and island masters no longer sent people up.
Maybe it's not that they don't send people up, but that those people would rather fight them than come up?
In short, seeing Lingjiu Palace using this method to fight the enemy, they seemed to have no choice for the moment. He temporarily stopped his activities and rested in place.
When Zhao Mingyuan saw that there was no excitement, he told everyone not to be careless and take turns to rest, then left and went up to Defeng.
The situation remained at a stalemate, even at night, but they took advantage of the night to attack several times.
Unfortunately, the Lingjiu Palace is tightly guarded. Even at night, Soul-Desolating Cliff is brightly illuminated, and no one dares to slack off.
On the contrary, it is easy for the attacking party to lose sight of their feet on the steep steps at night, and it is easier for them to fall off the cliff.
Finally, as the kerosene showed its power again, Yamashita's attack came to an end.
Soon, the night passed in a stalemate between the two sides.
The next day, there were many strange people among the island masters and cave masters, so they naturally tried their best.
Some came up with methods such as launching concealed weapons, shooting arrows, and throwing spears while holding large shields to deal with the people in the Vulture Palace. The first attack really injured a few of them.
However, as the bag of kerosene fell, the results of this attack were lost.
When the kerosene burned out and they stepped on the hot steps to attack again, they discovered that a protective wall of stone and wood had been built in front of the girls of Lingjiu Palace. Naturally, their methods were ineffective. .
Of course, I have also tried other methods, such as trying to take a detour to see if there is any other place to go up.
However, the reason why natural dangers can be called natural dangers is because there is no way from other places and it is impossible to get through at all. Only these natural dangers can be barely overcome.
As for climbing all the way up the cliff, and then finding a way to drop the rope so that everyone can climb up.
This sounds like a good idea. However, in practice, it is not like that.
They couldn't reach the sky or the ground. After climbing up for a long time, they finally found a flat ground on which they could stand.
Unexpectedly, it was another dangerous place in Lingjiu Palace. It was as well defended as here, and someone had already been waiting here. They are just wasting their efforts.
Although it was only a short period of time, many of their people had died, and their military morale had already been weakened.
If it weren't for the fact that these island masters and cave masters were all possessed with life and death talismans, they would have died if they escaped, so they were determined to fight to the death. I'm afraid that he would have run away due to civil strife.
Even so, the disciples below were all disillusioned. If it weren't for someone guarding the path down the mountain, many people would have escaped.
At this time, the attack below was getting weaker and weaker, and they were increasingly dealing with errands. Often when they were halfway there, they would rush down when they saw signs of kerosene being used above.
The people supervising the war seemed to turn a blind eye to this, which naturally strengthened these people's determination to fight.
After all, since there is no punishment for being a deserter, who is willing to step forward and fight for his life?
Zhao Mingyuan could see that their morale had been depleted. At this time, as long as he persuaded them to surrender and told them to forget the past, he was afraid that they would surrender immediately.
But it is a pity that everyone knows that with the temperament of Tianshan Child Elder, it is impossible to let things go by the past.
Zhao Mingyuan was also helpless about this.
The situation remained at a stalemate. It seemed that it had entered garbage time. The two sides competed for patience and started to confront each other.
It seems nothing serious, I'm just afraid that this confrontation will last for a while. Zhao Mingyuan stopped paying attention and returned to the top of Piaomiao Peak.
At this time, Tianshan Child Elder had grown up a bit.
Zhao Mingyuan thought to himself that the current situation was actually in a stalemate, which was more beneficial to his side.
However, when Child Elder heard that the current battle situation was favorable to her side, her face still looked worried.
Zhao Mingyuan understood that she was worried about Li Qiushui, and was about to comfort him again. But suddenly he heard a chirping sound coming from below, the sound was extremely sharp, as if passing through the clouds.
The two people immediately changed their expressions after hearing this. This was the warning sound that the level had been breached, and the Soul-Desolating Cliff was suddenly breached.
Zhao Mingyuan lost his voice and said: "How is this possible? Just now I was down there and saw that everything was as usual, and those people were still helpless. Everyone in the Juntian tribe also performed their duties, and there were still a lot of various guard materials. How could they suddenly be Breached?"
Child Elder immediately sent people to investigate, but before the investigators came back, there was a second warning sound.
Then the third and fourth sounds sounded one after another like a reminder.
How can this be? Even if the first natural barrier is broken, the second line cannot be broken so quickly. What's more, the third and fourth lines have been prepared for a long time. How can they be broken by one blow?
unless……
The two looked at each other and understood. Unless there is a top master who directly relies on top light skills to fly up, then he can break through the natural dangers so quickly.
Zhao Mingyuan said: "Tong Lao, your enemy is here."
Child Elder said: "This is already two days later than I expected. It's not too early."
Then, Child Elder suddenly looked at Zhao Mingyuan and said, "You said you would protect me and protect me. Are you serious?"
Zhao Mingyuan said: "Of course, I will never catch up with you. Besides, I am the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect. I should protect the elders of the Xiaoyao Sect, shouldn't I?"
Child Elder said: "What if the person who comes is also an elder of Xiaoyao Sect?"
Zhao Mingyuan said: "Since they are both from the Xiaoyao Sect, it is even easier to resolve the grudge between the two of them."
Child Elder said: "What if this grudge is too deep and cannot be resolved?"
"If you are unwilling to resolve the grudge, then you are not giving me the face of the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, and you are not recognizing my status as the leader. Then I have to find a way to let her know why I am the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect. ." Zhao Mingyuan stroked the golden sword on his waist and said with a smile.
Tianshan Child Elder smiled and said: "Okay, okay! I just hope you can remember your words clearly and don't regret it later!"
Zhao Mingyuan said: "Of course I won't regret it. But what about you, Tong Lao? Do you recognize me as the leader of Xiaoyao Sect?"
The Tianshan Child Elder smiled, but she still needed Zhao Mingyuan's help. It was too early to cross the river and demolish the bridge. The river had not even been crossed yet.
Therefore, she could only reluctantly say: "Of course, you are not the leader, who is the leader? You are wearing the Seven Treasures Ring, so of course you are the leader. Who said I don't recognize it?"
Zhao Mingyuan said: "Since I am the leader of Xiaoyao Sect, I have a question that I need to ask Child Elder for advice."
Child Elder didn't know what kind of medicine Zhao Mingyuan was selling in the gourd, so she continued: "If you have any questions, Master, just ask, I will definitely tell you everything I know."
In fact, Child Elder thought that Zhao Mingyuan was going to ask who her enemy was, so she was ready to tell him.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Mingyuan said: "I wonder if the Piaomiao Peak Lingjiu Palace belongs to the Xiaoyao Sect?"
Tianshan Child Elder did not expect that Zhao Mingyuan would open his mouth and take advantage of the situation, preparing to take away the Lingjiu Palace.
However, people under the eaves have to bow their heads.
Listening to the warning sound outside getting closer and closer, Tianshan Child Elder knew that Li Qiushui was coming soon.
If he did not agree to Zhao Mingyuan's conditions, not to mention his own miserable fate, the Lingjiu Palace would either be taken away by others or destroyed. Nothing good will come of it for these women from Jiutianjiubu.
In this case, it is better to give it to Zhao Mingyuan in exchange for his help.
Thinking of this, Child Elder gritted her teeth and said: "Of course, Lingjiu Palace was originally built by the Xiaoyao Sect, so it is naturally controlled by the master."
Zhao Mingyuan said: "Tong Elder seems to be unwilling. Naturally, I will not force others to make things difficult. Since Child Elder is unwilling and does not agree with it in her heart, then forget it."
Child Elder gritted her teeth and forced out a smile: "How could you not want to?
Didn't you see me laughing?
This is because I am happy for the girls like Jiutian Jiubu.
They are all orphans adopted by me. I hope the leader can treat them well. "
Zhao Mingyuan said: "I have a good temper and I never hit or scold anyone at will. They are lucky to follow me. I will definitely love them well."
After listening to Zhao Mingyuan's words, Tianshan Child Elder became even more angry with him and her teeth itched, and she just wanted to bite him.
But I heard Zhao Mingyuan continue to say: "One more thing, I heard that there are some stone mural statues here of this young lady, which are also the magical secrets of my Xiaoyao sect. Since I am the head of the Xiaoyao sect and I am also in charge of Lingjiu Palace, naturally there are also It’s mine, right?”
Child Elder thought to herself, this is not too much. Since Zhao Mingyuan is the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, he can naturally learn the martial arts of the Xiaoyao Sect. He nodded and agreed.
Zhao Mingyuan said: "And..."
Child Elder couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily: "Why are you still there? Boy! Don't go too far."
Zhao Mingyuan laughed loudly and said, "One last thing, Child Elder, please respect me a little more from now on."
After saying that, Zhao Mingyuan stood up and walked towards the door.
At this time, the warning sound of the last dangerous place has been heard, and a powerful enemy is about to arrive.
