Zhang Yan has his plan.
You can't let the other party know nothing about the situation in the cliff mountain, but you can't let them know too much. You need to know the right balance.
As for directly destroying these extraterrestrial creatures that invaded the cliff mountain, Zhang Yan had no such plan from the beginning.
Kill it for what? Just a few probing extraterrestrial creatures cannot change any problems if they are destroyed. Instead, they only serve to scare the enemy away and make the other party more vigilant. Isn't this a disguised form of making your defense more difficult?
So Zhang Yan asked the disciples in the mountain not to come down the mountain, and he came out to greet them personally, just to make good use of this accident and turn it into another possibility that was beneficial to Huangtian Territory and Duoya Mountain.
Even after Zhang Yan approached, the three extraterrestrial creatures were unable to detect him.
The opponent's deception method was ordinary and could not be called sophisticated at all. Even a second-generation disciple of the Cliff Mountain like Wang Nian could do it better than these three extraterrestrial creatures. This further confirmed Zhang Yan's previous guess that these extraterrestrial creatures were still very partial in their cultivation. It is far from being as perfect and magnificent as Dao Sect.
With Zhang Yan's ability, he could naturally see through the opponent's deceit at a glance and see the opponent's true face.
how to say?
As far as Zhang Yan is concerned, these extraterrestrial creatures in front of him are much more pleasing to the eye than the previous Ying clan. It is also in human form, and has the same limb distribution as the human race. Although there are differences, it is not completely different. The limbs are slender and there is an extra vertical eye on the forehead. This is the main difference.
In addition, these extraterrestrial creatures seem to have a silent method of communication that does not rely on magic or magic. They only need to put their hands on their companions.
Telepathy?
After that, Zhang Yan had to speak on his own, using a folk song he heard from a woodcutter in the mountains elsewhere to arouse the other person's idea, and then he officially entered the role of a woodcutter that he specially played.
I originally thought of using illusion to cover the other party, but I didn't expect that the other party also had this idea. This made Zhang Yan immediately change his mind and chose to stay put for the time being, just to see what the other party was going to do. Because of the illusion used, this means that the other party does not want to use force against him for the time being. Could it be that you also want to find out his reality?
So Zhang Yan directly acted out his current identity as a woodcutter. He didn't even try to dodge or block the illusions coming from the other party. He endured it all his life, just like an ordinary woodcutter should. look.
It's just that Zhang Yan's current soul doesn't care about this level of illusion at all. While following the power of the illusion to show his expressions and reactions, he can just observe the other party openly and openly.
"What's your name, and why can you come to the cliff mountain to cut firewood?"
Just this question can already establish the cautious attitude of these three extraterrestrial creatures. Sure enough, the person who was sent to investigate did not have a fuel-efficient lamp.
"My name is Zhang Er. These firewood were cut outside the cliff mountain. I took a shortcut from the back to deliver firewood to the monks on the cliff mountain." Zhang Yan's reaction was not slow. Although acting was not his original plan, it seems good for him to follow the other person's ideas now. …
The firewood came from the woodshed in the mountains, and Zhang Yan moved it over. It is true that it was not cut in the cliff mountain. There are almost all spiritual species or spirit-like species in the mountains, and it would be a pity to chop them down and use them as firewood. Therefore, the firewood burned in the mountains is collected from outside. If there is not enough, the disciples will not have it delivered to them, but will have to go to the town to buy it. After buying it, they will put it back in storage bags.
Therefore, Zhang Yan’s answer is half-truth and half-false. Not to mention the three-eyed people in Hunong, people who haven't studied the cliff mountain carefully can also get over it.
Sure enough, when the three three-eyed people heard this, they looked at the firewood on Zhang Yan's back and nodded. These firewood are indeed not like the surrounding vegetation with a little aura.
"You said you were going to Cliff Mountain now, right?"
"Yes."
"Do you know how many monks there are in the mountain?"
"I don't know. But at least two hundred people. In the past few years, I heard that the mountains would accept fifty people at a time. Now there should be more than two hundred people." Zhang Yan's expression seemed to be in fear, but his voice was like a machine. A generally uneventful answer.
"Huh? Are you saying that Duoya Mountain has just started recruiting people recently?"
"Yes, it's only been more than ten years."
Only ten years? !
The three three-eyed people looked at each other again, and they did not expect that Duoyashan was actually in the "nascent" stage. Even if the sect leader is indeed very strong in such a short period of time, the power of Duoya Mountain must also be limited in such a short period of time. This invisibly directly lowered the "strength" of the cliff mountain by several levels.
"Two hundred people, this little firewood is not enough, right?" He seemed more relaxed in his heart, but his questions closely followed the news that Zhang Yan had said before. Little did they know that Zhang Yan deliberately exposed the hole for them to crawl through.
"It's not enough. The firewood on my back is only enough for three to five days. After this trip, I have to make a few more deliveries." Zhang Yan saw that the other party took the bait, but his voice remained calm. He himself probably didn't expect that he would be so reliable in acting.
Sure enough, I heard one of the three-eyed people say: "You can ask for help. If you ask for three more people to help, it's just a run."
"I don't have money to hire anyone to help. And the firewood hasn't been chopped yet. I plan to go to the ridge behind to chop some for the second trip tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"You don't have to worry about this. We two happen to have nothing to do, we are your friends, and we will bring firewood to the mountain with you. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
Naturally, the three three-eyed people would not miss such an excellent opportunity. Follow the woodcutter in front of you, pretending to help deliver firewood, all the way up the mountain, and openly explore the situation in the mountain. Two went into the mountain, leaving one at the foot of the mountain to take care of them. Although the plan is simple, it is definitely a highly profitable method.
After a while, he once again used the blindfold method to dress himself up as a woodcutter similar to Zhang Yan, and then used his magic power in the outer mountains to collect two piles of firewood that were about the same weight as Zhang Yan's back.
"Let's go. Continue with your previous plan."
The three three-eyed people consciously arranged everything and then awakened Zhang Yan from the terrifying illusion, and then gave him a new illusion. Using the consciousness control in the hallucination, he directed Zhang Yan like a puppet and started walking towards the mountain climbing road.
The two three-eyed men pretending to be woodcutter had no idea that Zhang Yan, who they thought had been controlled, was actually quietly using the power of rules to slowly change the magic circles he had set up on the mountaineering route, making it difficult for him to do so. The magic circle that was originally used as a test for new disciples changed rapidly.
Fantasy? Zhang Yan is actually very good at it. What's more, with the blessing of the illusory array, he didn't think the two extraterrestrial creatures behind him could withstand the magic array with their understanding of it.
