There were still more than a hundred miles away from No. 1 Mountain, so Li Changying ordered the army to temporarily stop, reorganize, divide the army into two groups, and move forward slowly.
He was also trying to catch up, racking his brains but could only give simple command to the army.
The army had approached for more than thirty miles, and had already encountered the sporadic peeks of monsters.
There is also no golden elixir monster leader in Mountain No. 1, and the third-level monsters have low intelligence and have never thought of taking the initiative to attack. Otherwise, with Li Changying's ability, as long as they are attacked halfway, the entire army may be close to collapse.
Fortunately, these Zifu monsters are not smart enough. They just remember the orders of the Jindan monsters and focus on guarding the mountain.
Seeing the army of Li Xiuling and others coming, they only sent a third-level flying monster to report the news, and then guarded several key places at the foot of the mountain.
Li Changying led the army to the foot of Mountain No. 1 with difficulty. When he saw the monsters all over the mountain, his scalp felt numb. Among them, there were several third-level monsters more than ten feet tall that exuded a terrifying aura.
"Attack the mountain directly?"
Li Changying was very hesitant. In the past, he was just a pawn of the Hehuan Sect and didn't have deep feelings. He could do whatever the protagonist ordered him to do.
Now that I am in the command position, I can feel the mountain-like pressure. After all, one mistake may lead to the death of hundreds or thousands of monks, which is fundamentally different from the usual vendettas.
Li Daocheng didn't respond. He just looked at the three-level monsters that were more than ten feet tall and thought for a while before saying:
"If I deal with one, I can definitely kill it. If I deal with two, I can hold them back."
Li Xiuling said simply:
"Leave the rest to me."
Li Yuaxu smiled bitterly, but still said:
"I am no longer a match for a third-level monster in a single fight, but with the flying sword given by my teacher, it won't be a big problem to hold it back."
Li Daocheng smiled and said:
"That's very good. Senior brother will hold down one, and senior sister will hold down the other three. I will kill one as quickly as possible, and then I will help the senior brother to kill the other one first."
Li Xiuling and Li Yuaxu nodded in agreement, and then Li Daocheng turned to Li Changying and said:
"Let's attack the mountain directly, but there is no need to be aggressive. It's best to take steps step by step. Monsters below the third level have no intelligence, only simple intelligence. Once there is no third-level monster to command, the birds will fly away and the beasts will scatter. When the time comes, prepare the reserve team to chase Just kill."
Li Changying felt proud and sad when he heard that the third-level monsters were like lambs to be slaughtered in their eyes, distributed at will.
The proud thing is that all three of them have the surname Li, but the sad thing is that they are not close to the Li family.
After suppressing all the emotions in his heart, Li Changying agreed, and then began to command the army to form various simple formations, large and small, and advance layer by layer.
With the second-level formations of the major foundation-building families, many casual cultivators are included, and the casual cultivators prepare various spells. When there are more people, even the simplest five-element spells have considerable power. , not to mention the magic weapon.
The information from the Hehuan Sect was not accurate. There were not five Zifu monsters on Mountain No. 1 but seven. One of the flying monsters went to report the news, and there were six remaining.
A gray wolf, a blood lion, a giant python, a red-haired ape, and two toad leopards.
Among them, the blood lion and the red-haired ape are both third-level top-grade ones, which are in the later stages of the Zifu, and are the most difficult to deal with. Next are the two heterogeneous leopards with leopard bodies and toad tails.
As for the blue wolf and the big python, they are just ordinary third-level monsters, and they are also the first targets Li Daocheng plans to eradicate.
Among the army, there was an ordinary-looking young couple. Looking at Li Changying's dull command, they both shook their heads in their hearts and secretly blamed their junior sister for being impulsive.
Below the golden elixir, human monks have great advantages over monsters. Magical weapons are one thing, but the most important thing is wisdom.
Especially in the battle between large armies, the advantage is even greater. If Li Xiuling and others' army of nearly three thousand monks falls into the hands of someone with a strong command, it can at least be equal to five times its own enemy.
But if someone falls into the position of an average commander, like Li Changying, they can only use half of their strength at most. And if someone like Li Xiuling and others don't understand the attack of the army at all, it would be a blessing if they don't hold themselves back.
Zixuan, Baiyun, and the two Hehuan Sect masters looked at Li Changying's somewhat lame command and already lost hope.
Now I just hope that everyone can hold on a little longer and fish out one more golden elixir monster. As for annihilating them all in one fell swoop and directly seizing the fourth-level spiritual veins, haha... it's better not to fantasize too much.
The monk and the monster fell into a stalemate as soon as they came into contact.
The human monks' magical weapons were sharp, their spells were powerful, and they were protected by magic circles. They could focus most of their energy on attacks, and large areas of beasts and monsters were cleared away.
On the side of the demonic beasts, there are many beasts. Not to mention the first-level demonic beasts, there are also many wild beasts and poisonous insects that are driven towards the army of monks. They do not seek to perform meritorious deeds, but only to consume the souls of the Qi-training monks. force.
For this situation, Li Changying had no good solution. He could only fight the monster slowly and steadily, and be ready to let the reserve team step up at any time and bear the pressure of the forwards.
Seeing that the two sides were about to reach a stalemate, Li Daocheng frowned slightly. Although he did not understand the specific command of the army, it did not mean that he did not understand strategy.
Time is not on their side. After all, this place is too close to where the Golden Core Monster is. Counting the time to report the message and the time for the Golden Core Monster to arrive, they only have an hour at most.
If the No. 1 Mountain Range is not captured and the formations are arranged within an hour, and then they are attacked from both sides, I am afraid that only a few of the thousands of monks will be able to escape, and the rest will be buried here.
As for the two sixth masters of the Hehuan Sect, Li Daocheng would never place his hopes on them. Who knows what these old foxes are thinking? If you feel that the monster you caught is not big enough, it is not impossible to let everyone be slaughtered by the monster without taking action.
As for the revelation afterward, haha...it was all just one-sided words to evade your incompetent crime. Who would believe it?
Just when Li Daocheng was about to forcefully kill several Zifu monsters, the red-haired ape with the most irritable temper and the strongest strength among the six monsters couldn't bear it anymore. He took action first and held the A black gold iron rod made of unknown metal roared down the mountain and rushed down.
Li Daocheng was overjoyed and quickly said to Li Xiuling:
"Senior sister, please don't make a dangerous move first and lure out all the monsters from the Purple Mansion first."
Li Xiuling nodded, shouted softly, released Qing Cang, and rushed towards the red-haired violent ape.
The black gold iron root in the hands of this violent ape is not a magic weapon, not even a magic weapon, it is just a heavy and sturdy weapon.
But under its huge power, it broke a second-level formation with just one sweep, smashing more than a hundred people in the formation into pulp.
The army was a little panicked and looked scattered. At this moment, 'Qingcang' arrived and cut off a section of the black gold iron rod with just one sword strike, leaving a slash on the violent ape's face. mark.
The huge pain caused the violent ape to roar angrily, lift up the iron rod and smash it towards the green sword light.
It's a pity that the subtlety of Shushan's swordsmanship is beyond the reach of monsters like this.
The sword light drew a graceful arc, and while dodging the blow, it also left a sword mark on the violent ape.
It was also the late Zifu period, but this monster was much easier to deal with than Ye Xuansheng. After all, no matter how bad Ye Xuansheng was, he still had a magic weapon, the Lishen Shuttle, which could slightly block the edge of the 'Qing Cang', as well as several top-quality protective magic weapons. , can temporarily protect itself.
Although monsters are known for their rough skin and thick flesh, how can their mere physical body withstand the sharpness of a three-turn flying sword?
After all, even a low-grade magic weapon and a flying sword will leave huge damage and will be scrapped after a little time. No matter how high the monster's defense is, can it be higher than the magic weapon?
