Chapter 126 [Repelling the monsters and escorting the spirit rice]
With their sharp and slender horns, these monster beasts sprinted straight down towards the spiritual field. With their size and impact, after a burst of trampling, the spiritual field would not only be left without any harvest, but would also be completely destroyed. Absolutely the worst outcome.
Following Wei Wu's roar, the martial arts masters were in front and the martial arts practitioners were behind. About fifty people divided into two lines and rushed forward. They had to be stopped. There was no other way at this moment. It can only be blocked by the physical body.
Ge Xian stretched out his bow and arrow. He had not charged forward yet, but was beside Wei Wu and Wei Youguang. Wei Wu did not let him follow the charge. After all, the three of them were the strongest fighting force and the last hope of the village. They could not rush rashly. Come forward.
Soon, the martial artist and the monster collided. To Ge Xian's surprise, there was no one-sided situation.
A layer of protective aura appeared around the martial artists, forming semicircular auras that blocked the attack of the monsters.
"Brother Ge, we people have been dealing with monsters for a long time. Some old people have been fighting monsters for most of their lives. Some young people have seen the power of monsters even if it is their first time. They have also experienced it in their daily practice. We have experience fighting low-level monsters, so don’t worry too much, we won’t be overwhelmed.” Seeing that Ge Xian was nervous before, Wei Wu was worried that he was too unsure of the village’s combat power, so he comforted him at this time road.
Ge Xian nodded, but at this time his archery posture still did not relax. He just changed his breath slightly and said: "To be honest, your performance impressed me, but the monster looks difficult to deal with. Can you solve it?"
"It's difficult. We can only drive them away. The fur on their bodies is very thick. Even if we are equipped with spiritual weapons, we can only cause a certain amount of damage, but it is difficult to kill them." Wei Wu shook his head and said.
At this time, both the warriors and the monsters are in a stalemate. Generally, a martial artist leads a martial arts apprentice to deal with a monster. The martial artist deals with it head-on, and the apprentice sneaks around to attack or assist the martial artist.
Fortunately, these monsters only relied on their sharp and thick horns and more on their brute force, so they didn't do anything unusual.
The women and children behind them looked nervously at the warriors in the village, and at the same time paid the most attention to Wei Wu, Wei Youguang and Ge Xian. After all, they were the real support of the whole village.
After three months, Gexian's strength and status have caught up with Wei Wu. If he can perform well in this battle, he may surpass Wei Wu.
Time passed bit by bit, and the weakness of the martial arts apprentices was revealed at this time. They were not calm enough and easily frightened. At the same time, they consumed a huge amount of physical strength and energy and did not know how to distribute it reasonably.
An apprentice was shaken back by the roar of the irritable monster, and he actually lost control. The huge terror made him sit on the ground. The martial artist next to him flew to save him, blocking the monster's big mouth, but was also struck by its mouth. The horn was injured, the body-protecting energy burst open, the horn penetrated, and the whole person was lifted up.
Suddenly, many screams sounded, causing anxiety and uneasiness in other people nearby.
At this time, Wei Wu raised his dagger, slapped the horse's back, and jumped up high, spanning a distance of tens of meters.
But there was someone faster than him, and an astonishing roar shot out of the sky, almost like thunder and lightning, instantly surpassing his figure.
Bang!
This violent wind finally accurately hit the monster's forehead, sending sparks flying directly, but it did not penetrate its head.
However, the power of this arrow was also extraordinary. It directly knocked the monster beast away, and then made it hit hard, directly knocking down the companion next to it. Soon, everyone discovered that neither of the two monster beasts could get up. Come on, it seems that he is seriously injured.
hiss!
Not only the people in Daoxiang Village, but also the ferocious monsters were stunned. The arrow just now directly severely injured two companions, making these monsters feel fear and helpless fear.
"Counterattack!" Wei Wu shouted, and then the martial arts masters and apprentices who were originally low in morale gritted their teeth and fought back again, causing the monster beast to retreat continuously, and was gradually driven out of the scope of the spiritual field and fled in another direction.
At this time, Ge Xian put down the short bow that was scattered on the ground in his hand. He used 10% of his spiritual power for the arrow just now. Suddenly the short bow could not bear it and broke into pieces. The arrow even hit the monster. , exploded into powder, these ordinary weapons simply couldn't withstand his spiritual power.
Wei Youguang next to him said with emotion: "If I had known this, I should make a good short bow for you. Don't worry, when the beast tide subsides, I will definitely make it for you at any cost. Only you can let me These spiritual weapons can exert their maximum power."
However, at this time, Ge Xian no longer listened to his soliloquy, and rushed out directly, coming to the martial artist who had been pierced through the body just now. At this time, he was already as angry as a gossamer, and the martial arts apprentice next to him Weeping so hard that the martial artist's wounds were deep and wide, and blood was pouring out and couldn't be stopped.
Ge Xian came to him, kicked the apprentice, and yelled at him: "Why are you crying? He is not dead yet. Hurry up and ask the folks behind him to come over. He will be taken back for treatment later."
When the apprentice ran away with tears in his eyes, Ge Xian put his hand on the martial artist's chest and abdomen, and a gentle yet powerful healing power quickly flowed out, filling his wounds and beginning to heal his most serious wounds. He sealed it and forced it to stop the bleeding, and then repaired several other ruptured organs before releasing it. The injury had changed from a serious injury to a minor injury, but the excessive blood loss still required good recovery. Yes, his life is no longer in danger.
A group of brave women and children came over carrying a stretcher, and Wei Gu was among them. She also had a look of sadness on her face. They probably thought that this martial artist would not survive. They were all from the village. Every time there was one more martial artist, there was one more in the village. Strength and hope. Every time one person dies, the strength of the village will be greatly weakened. Over time, the village will die.
These women and children were well-trained and carried the "seriously injured" martial artist onto the stretcher very professionally. Unexpectedly, Wei Gu was good at the Qihuang technique and quickly treated several wounds. The other women and children all contributed their efforts. She It was for emergency rescue. Soon, she let out a surprised sound.
"What's wrong, Aunt Wei?" asked the woman next to her.
"Brother's injury doesn't seem that serious." Wei Gu felt strange herself, but her straightforward personality made her unwilling to lie.
"Nonsense, the blood is all over the floor, and your stomach is all bloody. Are you almost dead?"
"That's right, it's not serious. What does it mean to be serious?"
"This child may have been frightened because her injuries were so serious. After all, Youliang usually takes good care of her."
Wei Youliang was this martial artist. He was usually very considerate and enthusiastic towards Aunt Wei, taking care of her like an elder brother, so what these village women said was reasonable.
However, Wei Gu studied medicine herself, and she knew that serious injuries seen by others were different from serious injuries seen by doctors. At this moment, although Wei Youliang looked very scary, with bloody flesh and blood dripping all over his stomach, but The blood had never dried up and dripped down. After her treatment, the small wounds were no longer serious. But what made her feel amazing was that after suffering such a serious stab wound from the monster's horn, her internal organs were not affected at all. The six internal organs were seriously injured. This is simply a miracle, but judging from the degree of bleeding, it doesn't look like he was not injured. Unless someone just used a wonderful rejuvenation technique to resolve Brother Wei's serious injury in a very short time?
"Is it Brother Ge?" Suddenly, Wei Gu looked at Ge Xian, who was taking care of other wounded people in the distance, but she couldn't be sure. However, Ge Xian's magic and mystery made her feel deeply attached to this foreign country who had lived in her home for three months. Men are full of curiosity.
That night, the beast wave finally retreated in the second half of the night, just before dawn. Daoxiang Village saved the spiritual field, and the whole village suddenly cheered.
Although the spiritual rice is not for them to eat, as long as it is handed over to the Tianmu Sect, they can exchange it for various rewards, which can be exchanged for several times the benefits, which can greatly increase the strength of the village and make it stronger, thereby ensuring that the village is more populated. Prosperity and constant incense.
Ge Xian also worked hard all night. In fact, fighting the monsters did not waste much of his energy and time. Instead, taking care of the wounded made him quite tired.
After all, he is not a medical student, so he can only rely on the spiritual power of Xiaoyao Jue to greatly reduce the injuries of the wounded, especially some fatal injuries. Even so, it also consumes a lot of energy on his part. After all, he does not want people to know his true strength. Under the current situation, it is better to hide your clumsiness.
When Wei Wu led more than a dozen of the bravest martial artists back to the village, he officially announced that he had achieved a great victory against the beast tide. Not only did he protect the spiritual field, but he also killed three armored beasts. It was really the biggest gain for the village in a hundred years. .
Village Chief Wei immediately announced that he would take out part of the village's savings and celebrate the day, filling the whole village with a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.
The armored beast is a relatively common monster that likes to live in groups, but it is usually mild-tempered and rarely takes the initiative to go down the mountain to attack humans. This time, I don’t know why it caused such a big battle.
However, Ge Xian felt that this beast tide had something to do with the silver-haired ape king. It was probably driven away by this guy, causing these armored beasts to wreak havoc towards the human settlements like crazy.
At this moment, in several houses at the other end of the village, away from the lively atmosphere, several families here took the initiative to vacate their rooms. Under the arrangement of the village chief, they temporarily stayed in other people's homes to free up wards for the wounded.
Wei Gu and several female martial artists were busy taking care of the wounded. The total number of injured people this time reached twenty, but only one person, Wei Youliang, was seriously injured. The rest were mildly or moderately injured.
Although Wei Youliang was seriously injured, his life was not in danger. Gu Wei and several female martial artists also noticed it, but the villagers all thought so, and they thought it was a serious injury, and it was difficult for them to tell the truth.
After the rest of the people were treated, more than a dozen people went out to drink because they were greedy. Those with slightly more serious injuries planned to lie down in the ward for a few days before going back. Wei Youliang had not yet woken up because he had lost too much blood.
Ge Xian came in with two baskets of food to visit the wounded and Gu Wei, and received unanimous praise from everyone.
One basket was for the wounded, and the other basket was for Wei Gu and the female warriors. The female warriors had been busy for a long time, and there were no injured people in danger at the moment, so they washed their hands, changed into clean clothes, and went to another room. It’s time to eat.
Ge Xian brought a plate of food to Wei Gu, which was contributed by every household in the village. The taste was good and unique. Ge Xian had never eaten many snacks.
"Wei Gu, let's take a break and have something to eat." Ge Xian immediately admired this girl when he saw that she was so good at taking care of people at such a young age and knew the art of Qihuang.
"Brother Ge, wait a little longer, and I will serve Brother Wei to pee." After saying that, she shyly carried a chamber pot to Wei Youliang to pee. Ge Xian had to admire her.
Doctors have the heart of a parent. Although Wei Gu is still a young lady, she does not have those red tapes, but puts the patient first, and is indeed a good doctor.
Ge Xian took the opportunity to chat with the other wounded lying down for a while. After this battle, everyone admired him very much. Although he only shot one arrow, that arrow turned the tide and not only severely damaged two armored beasts. , and the morale of everyone in the village rebounded. Finally, no one regarded him as a stranger anymore. If he could live with them through life and death, he was a compatriot.
Waiting in the cubicle outside the ward, Wei Gu had already washed her hands, cleaned her bangs, changed into blue cloth clothes with white star patterns on them, and wore a white scarf around her head. , looks quite eye-catching.
Ge Xian realized that although Wei Gu was only fourteen years old, she was already a big girl, and not only physically mature, but also mentally mature.
"Come, Wei Gu, have some snacks." Ge Xian pushed the snacks left on the plate to her.
"Brother, eat some too." Wei Gu took a piece and pushed it back. Seeing that she refused to eat and insisted on waiting for herself, Ge Xian had no choice but to take a piece too. Then she happily ate the snack, and soon , a plate of snacks basically went into her stomach.
From time to time, noisy sounds came from the other end of the village, and Ge Xian suggested that she could join in. After all, a girl of her age should be playful.
"No, brother, I just want to stay here with peace of mind. I actually don't like the excitement and prefer to take care of patients. Only here is where I am most needed." There was actually a conflict in Wei Gu's eyes. It has something to do with her personal marriage.
The rumors about the Tianmu Sect's outer disciple's marriage proposal weighed on her heart like a shadow, making her unable to let it go. She just wanted to sit quietly aside and do something within her power to make herself feel needed rather than being guarded. , alienation.
"Don't worry, Aunt Wei. Big brother and the whole village will not let you be taken away, not even the Tianmu Sect." Ge Xian solemnly promised, which was his official expression of his opinion on the matter.
There was a hint of joy in Wei Gu's eyes, but then she thought of something, and her face darkened a lot. She shook her head and said: "Brother, there is no need to do this for me. I also know that the people in the village are good for me, but I don't want to bring trouble to the village. Tianmu Sect It’s not something we can afford to offend.”
"Nonsense, even the Immortal Sect must be reasonable. After a few days, after harvesting the spiritual rice, I will go to Tianmu Sect with your village chief to find a way to solve this matter. You don't have to worry, just stay at home. Waiting for news." Ge Xian decided to intervene in this matter. Daoxiang Village is his real first stop in the spiritual world. He already has a sense of family with these simple villagers. He never wants to see Wei Gu being snatched away by someone. Lu Ding practices, if that bastard doesn't change his original intention, then he doesn't mind teaching him a lesson.
When he came back to his senses, he found that Wei Gu was looking at him with some fear. He immediately understood and immediately restrained the evil spirit on his body. He found that he still did not control his state of mind well.
"Wei Gu, live your life with peace of mind, and be brave enough to pursue what you should pursue. Brother will take care of other worries for you. I'll leave first." Ge Xian stood up to leave, but found that his sleeve was pulled by her.
Wei Gu tugged on his sleeve and said, "Why is eldest brother so nice to me?"
"This... I just can't stand someone threatening you, and you are a kind girl, that's all." Ge Xian smiled bitterly, did the other party misunderstand something?
A flash of disappointment flashed in Wei Gu's eyes, but she still refused to let go of his sleeves and said, "Brother, can I really pursue my own happiness?"
"Yes, anyone can. No one can deprive others of their right to pursue happiness, not even the head of the Tianmu Sect." Ge Xian said decisively.
Wei Gu nodded with satisfaction, loosened his sleeves, and Ge Xian left with some confusion.
A few days later, the village began to harvest the spiritual fields. It was so hot that everyone who could work went out to the fields.
According to the information sent back by some martial arts masters, this beast tide had a great impact on the mortal villages within a hundred miles of the Tianmu Sect. Many villages were directly trampled to the ground and their spiritual fields were naturally destroyed.
Villagers from several villages near Daoxiang Village even fled here, which suddenly made the whole village crowded with hundreds of people. However, this is also an opportunity to greatly increase the strength of Daoxiang Village, and even upgrade it from a village to a village in one fell swoop. The town has the right to build a city. Of course, all this must be approved by the Tianmu Sect and issued an order.
However, the entire village, from the village chief to the villagers, firmly believed that this time Daoxiang Village could obtain sufficient rewards by not being disturbed and handing over enough spiritual rice.
In addition, they will also get higher rewards for killing three armored beasts. They can choose to hand over or keep many materials from the monster beasts' bodies, but there is the most precious thing among the monster beasts, and that is - - Demon Pill.
This time, they were lucky enough. When one of the three armored beasts was dissecting to obtain materials, they found a demon pill. According to Wei Youguang and Wei Wu's judgment, although it was a low-level demon pill with earth attributes, it was It is also a good material, worth half the value of spiritual rice, which shows the value of this thing.
The spiritual rice was loaded into ten carts, and a total of more than 20,000 kilograms of spiritual rice was harvested from the thousands of acres of spiritual fields. The quality of the spiritual rice this time was good. I don’t know if it was related to the beast tide. In short, something happened this time. Several hundred kilograms of immortal rice, this is unprecedented.
Village Chief Wei and Wei Wu took more than 30 young and powerful martial artists and some with superb martial arts skills on the road. Among them, some martial arts apprentices who had performed well before were officially promoted to martial arts masters. Naturally, Ge Xian was among the masters.
Among the refugees who came here this time, there were many powerful martial arts masters. The village chief and Wei Wu naturally attracted them. Now, the strength of Daoxiang Village is no longer what it used to be.
The construction of the city has already begun, and there is no shortage of manpower this time. The main reason is that the food consumption is a bit large. However, Daoxiang Village has also accumulated considerable savings in recent years, and there is almost no loss this time, so it can afford it.
This place is more than 80 miles away from Tianmu Sect, and each grain truck escorting Lingmi has at least two people, and even four people.
Wei Wu still served as the commander of the escort team, and Ge Xian was appointed as the deputy commander by him and the village chief. Those martial artists who joined later did not know Ge Xian very well, but the martial arts masters in the village highly respected him, especially for his ability to shoot with one arrow. The record of killing two armored beasts was so amazing that Ge Xian was embarrassed. After all, the arrow did not kill them, but only severely damaged them.
The team left Daoxiang Village and quickly entered the mountain road. After ten miles, Wei Wu reminded everyone to cheer up and pay attention to bandits and bandits.
It seems that the spiritual world is not peaceful either. At least the public security is not as good as that of the human world, but thinking about it, it seems to be about the same.
The mountain road is a bit rugged. Sometimes the livestock cannot be pulled through, so the martial arts masters will take action. As long as they reach the level of junior martial arts masters and exert their spiritual power, they can have the strength of a thousand pounds, so as long as the weather is fine, there is no big problem.
The entire journey takes three or four days, and this is because of the luggage. Each person carries about two days of food rations. The shortfall is made up by hunting in the wild or collecting wild vegetables and fruits.
As long as you complete your errands at Tianmu Sect, you can get a lot of rewards in return. By then, the ten cars will be full, and you won't have to worry about running out of food when you go back.
The team walked about thirty miles on the first day. For safety reasons, Wei Wu ordered the establishment of a camp just after dusk. Grain carts and livestock were the top priority, and they were all concentrated inside. People built a camp around the grain carts. A circle of simple defenses, including wood, stones, sand dunes, etc., ordinary wild beasts and predators cannot threaten the team.
The team was divided into two groups to take turns. Wei Wu would stay in the first half of the night, and Ge Xian would stay in the second half of the night. In fact, it was okay for him to stay all night, but he didn't want to appear too conspicuous, so he naturally agreed.
Although the village chief was not weak, he was old after all, so after a quick dinner, he took a rest. The martial artists hid in the middle of the grain cart holding their weapons, sleeping against the cart or grain bags, and soon they were snoring like thunder. .
Ge Xian picked a car and sat cross-legged on it. Wei Wu knew his habit, so he didn't stop him. The two had a clear division of labor.
At this time, there was a new short bow on Ge Xian's back, and there was also a quiver. Naturally, Wei Youguang personally made this short bow and arrows for him, and also took a bow called "Zhenshan Bow". "The name belongs to the mortal spiritual weapon and can withstand his spiritual power.
Ge Xian had tried it privately, and found that this Zhenshan Bow could withstand up to 40% of his spiritual power. If it was even a little longer, it would become cracked, so he basically grasped the strength.
He never used the red flame sword, but gave it back to Wei Youguang. He seemed to prefer using long-range weapons such as crossbows.
It was night, everything was quiet, everything seemed safe and sound, but Ge Xian felt something was wrong, because it was too quiet. It would not be so quiet in the mountains and forests, unless there was... an ambush!
