A few dozen miles south of Baitong City are the mountains of Southern Xinjiang.
Unlike the relatively gentle mountains in southern Xinjiang south of Taiming City, Baitong City faces towering and continuous mountains. There are no numerous capillary-like mountain roads. Except for a few beings who can rely on Apart from the powerful people who can forcibly climb over the mountains, there are only three spacious canyon passages that can be used to get out of the mountains on a large scale. Each of the canyon exits has a high-walled military town, so a large-scale beast tide is at Baitong. It's rare.
In contrast, Nanyi's invasion in the direction of Baitong has never been based on the tide of beasts.
But they are often more hidden and more bloody and cruel.
However, this pattern seems to be broken this year.
Because only after the severe winter and the coming spring, the outskirts of Baitong's three forward military towns began to gather a tide of beasts, especially snakes, insects and rats, which seemed to be endless waves heading towards the three major military towns. They seep through and dig holes. It seems that as long as there are cracks in the soil, they cannot stop their arrival, making the soldiers in the military town unbearable. What's even worse is that they corrode the granaries and bring diseases, which makes the environment in the military town miserable. Become dangerous and unpredictable.
Then came the birds, which scattered their feces into the military town in groups. Even if the military town was cleaned and cleaned every day, it still couldn't stop the stench that filled the air, making the soldiers extremely uncomfortable.
Finally, there are more and more beasts gathering outside the walls of the military town. They gather silently, eat and reproduce in an orderly manner, as if they have completely entered a higher civilization.
Coupled with the attacks and killings launched by the demon clan of the Middle and Third Realm from time to time at night, each time they tried to kill a small amount without damaging themselves, showing the appearance of a long-term war of attrition.
The three military towns are not adjacent to each other, especially Pingnanguan in the east is the farthest away.
What Pingnan Pass blocks is the canyon through which the Tuotuo River flows.
The Tuotuo River originates from Tianmen Mountain, runs through the two major areas of Shangyuan and Baitong from north to south, and finally passes through Pingnan Pass and enters the mountains of southern Xinjiang. Its water volume is huge and its flow rate is very fast. It is rare that the river channel is deeper along the way. Flood.
This is the case where the Tuotuo River passes through Pingnanguan Pass, and the water flow is stronger. Pingnanguan Pass is built next to the river. One end of the city wall is connected to the cliff, and the other half enters the valley. The water flow here is even stronger. Totally unacceptable.
The river flows down from here, pours into the canyon, and gathers into a pool in an open place, becoming a natural place for beasts to gather. There is a peak on one side of the pool, and the peak is so high that it is even higher than some clouds. At this moment Four people stood side by side at the top of the mountain.
The first person was still wearing a thick fur cloak in such a cool weather, with only a head with snow-white beard and hair that looked like needles exposed. He was the Ten Thousand Poison Sect who had met Jasmine and her entourage in the altar secret area. Elder Qi Shan, his round bean-like eyes were seen looking at Pingnanguan in the distance through the thin clouds, unblinking.
The three men next to him are all strange characters. Each of them has a petite mind and a huge body. They are like Qishan, wearing thick black plush cloaks. From a distance, it looks like there are three peeling stones placed on three black soil mounds. Open eggs.
"Master Qishan, what's going on with the Great Elder? When can..." The tallest of the three strange men also looked at Pingnan Pass in the distance, with light flowing in his pupils. Jicai could see that his eyes were dark and translucent, like colorless glass, "When can we break into Pingnan Pass? There is blood in it... tsk tsk..."
Qi Shan didn't look at him, but looked up at the sky. He saw a black spot above everyone's heads, which was circling and falling rapidly. It was a giant with wings spread out with some golden feathers mixed in between them, which was four to five feet long. eagle!
The giant eagle descended towards the mountain peak where the four of them were, and stopped a few feet behind them. It folded its wings, bent its neck, and rubbed its body with its giant beak as if combing its feathers.
The three strange men turned to face the giant eagle and stared blankly, but Qi Shan did not look back and asked, "How is it?"
"Most of the black-armored troops returned to Taiming, and a small number of black-armored troops returned north together with Lijun Qingqi." The giant eagle raised its head, glanced at the three strange men with great disdain, then looked at Qishan's back and said, "Liu Fengshan one The mountains collapsed and the ground fell, and the Grand Elder took action. It was impossible for the Lijun prefect to survive. Lu Dongfeng must have led his army north to guard Licheng to deal with the chaos after the Lijun prefect died. Therefore, the black-armored army had no intention of coming to Baitong City. !”
The shortest of the three strange men spoke with a slow and honest voice, "Lu Dongfeng might just be lying to us. He comes to Baiden every time..."
Neither Qi Shan nor the giant eagle, nor even the other two strange men next to the man who spoke, looked at him, as if he had never spoken.
"Although the result is incredible, Mo Yu will not joke with me about this kind of thing. He did clearly write in the secret letter that the governor of Li County was injured but not dead, and the great elder returned to the sect," Qi Shanxuan Xu turned around and looked at the giant eagle, "Have you seen the prefect of Li County?"
When the three strange men heard that the great elder had returned to the sect, they all looked at Qi Shan with wide eyes, but no one spoke.
"I seem to have seen it," the giant eagle pondered slightly, "I can only be sure that I saw a person dressed in rich clothes and surrounded by everyone to protect him. That person could walk. After that, he got on the carriage. I followed them northward and kept a close eye on him. One day and one night, the man never came down again.”
Qi Shan narrowed his eyes and sneered, "What a magical power the great elder has. Even the people around the prefect of Li County couldn't protect him even if they had sacred weapons. With his mere strength in the four realms, he was wiped out by the great elder with a casual blow. Everywhere you go is a certain death situation, so the person you see is most likely a substitute created by Lu Dongfeng to appease the army, and I am afraid that the Lijun prefect...at least was seriously injured... ..”
"If the prefect of Li County was seriously injured, it would make sense for Lu Dongfeng and the Black Armored Army to follow him northward," said the giant eagle.
Qi Shan looked into the eyes of the giant eagle and said seriously, "Have you... been discovered...?!"
"Absolutely impossible!" The giant eagle said decisively without thinking, "After I spent my energy to transform into a prototype and fly into the extremely high sky, Elder Qi Shan might have seen or sensed my existence?!"
Qi Shan shook his head.
"Since Elder Qi Shan can't sense it, the existence of the elder level on the opposite side can't be sensed either. What's more, most of the time, I use the clouds and mist in the sky to cover my body." The giant eagle raised its head high, "Then Lu Dongfeng's When most of the Black Armored Army went west to Taiming, they also separated into several teams and circled around Liufeng Mountain to cover up the fact that he split up his troops and followed Lijun Qingqi to secretly go north. If you look at it from the ground, there is a high probability that I was deceived by him, but if you look at it from the sky, all these tricks are meaningless."
"I don't want to take risks, but this battle..." Qi Shan turned to look at Pingnanguan in the distance and murmured, "We don't have to win, but... we must not lose. ...!"
