Beishan Hongcheng, outside Beishan Medicine Valley
"Replying to the city lord, a letter asking for help has been sent, but we have not yet received any reply from the sects in Baiyan City..."
A subordinate responded urgently.
"Resend!"
"Also, send a letter to all the sects in Fenggu City. If they don't come to support, don't blame me for luring Centipede to their territory... Go quickly!"
Beiliang Mo Xiong raised his hand and gritted his teeth and said bitterly.
"yes!"
The subordinates hurriedly resigned after receiving the order.
"You must hold on..."
Looking at the group of people fighting with the monsters, Beiliang Moxiong sighed inwardly and clenched his fists unwillingly.
Beishan Great Medicine Valley is located between two third-class noble cities.
Namely: Baiyan City and Fenggu City
The canyon is like a winding abyss, completely dividing the two city areas into two.
Beishan Hongcheng is located at the exit of the Great Medicine Valley and on the boundary of Baiyan City, and is under the jurisdiction of Baiyan City.
Although Beishan Hongcheng has a clear ownership, the ownership of Beishan Medicine Valley has been debated endlessly between the two cities due to its special geographical location.
Until finally, an agreement was reached:
Every year, during the short half-month herb collection period in Beishan Medicine Valley, the two juecheng sects can each send a certain number of sect disciples to participate in herb collection experience.
but now……
In the medicine valley, the fifth-level monsters and tooth-buried centipedes came out of the valley to cause trouble. The elders and disciples of Fenggu City ignored them. After collecting the medicinal materials, they patted their butts and left.
Completely acting like it has nothing to do with him...
This makes Mo Xiong of Beiliang not angry:
When you are in a good position, you can't wait to take another sip of soup, and when you are in trouble, you can run faster than anyone else.
Such shameless behavior is simply disgusting.
Although there are occasional frictions between the two cities, the overall situation is relatively stable and they restrain each other. There are no irreconcilable conflicts.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, he would not dare to cause trouble so blatantly.
But now, with fifth-level monsters appearing, he no longer cares so much.
If this monster is allowed to run rampant and rush towards Beishan Hongcheng, the city will be destroyed in an instant, and his decades of hard work will be destroyed in one day.
Therefore, monsters must not be allowed to rush into the city!
This is his bottom line.
He didn't dare to expect to be able to kill the monster on the spot, but at least he had to divert the Tooth Burial Centipede's path away.
Originally, I wanted to use the wheel battle to consume the strength of the monsters and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
But after a day of fighting, Beiliang Moxiong realized that he had underestimated the strength of this fifth-level monster.
The more than one hundred people he organized have been exhausted from fighting...
Look at the battlefield, injured, disabled, dead... a scene of defeated soldiers.
Of course, only a small number died.
Looking back at the Tooth Burial Centipede, he was still furious and his attack was unabated, with no signs of weakness at all.
It has come to this point, and it has reached the point of exhaustion from delaying the monster's attack.
If this continues, they may not be able to hold on for long, and the monsters will break through the obstacles and rush into the city...
If he had no other choice, Beiliang Moxiong would not divert trouble to the east.
He couldn't bear the anger of the third-class noble city. But he couldn't bear the result of the destruction of the city, which was his hard work.
If there is really no other way...
They had no choice but to lead the monsters to the opposite side of Fenggu City.
Moreover, Beishan Hongcheng is only a few kilometers away from the boundary of Fenggu City opposite.
With such a close distance and no natural barriers to hinder them, the monsters can naturally be lured into rushing into the boundaries of Fenggu City.
Hold on a little longer...
Hold on a little longer...
If you really can't wait for reinforcements, then do this!
Northern Liangmo said decisively in his ambition
Of course, this is also a way to preserve Beishan Hongcheng.
As for the damage caused by the monsters to the boundaries of Fenggu City, this is no longer something I have to worry about...
He had already prepared for the worst:
At worst, it would cause conflicts between the two cities, and he would have to protect Hongcheng himself.
Those are his roots.
…
"Hold on! Get ready with the Iron Hook Hand, and follow me to attack again!"
After making up your mind,
Beiliang Moxiong resolutely raised his sword and charged forward again, followed by more than a dozen monks holding long iron chain hooks.
As these dozen people joined in, the dozen sword cultivators who were fighting with the monsters quickly retreated, hid aside, and took the time to heal their wounds, take medicine, and restore their physical strength...
Bang, bang, bang...
On the other side, seven or eight heavy axemen launched an intensive offensive, slashing on the back of the Tooth Buried Centipede Armor to attract its attention and cover the sword cultivator to escape from the battle circle.
Such repeated wheel battles dragged the tooth-burial centipede to the barren rocky slope outside the Medicine Valley.
Clang, Clang, Clang...
After more than a dozen hook-hands joined the battle, long iron chain hooks flew out and were firmly grasped on the carapace of the Buried Tooth Centipede.
Dozens of people working together struggled to pull on the chains and drag the monster back from all directions.
"Hiss!!!"
Being restrained by many ants, the tooth-buried centipede hissed angrily from its jaws and mouth.
Then he kept twisting his body and spraying poisonous smoke at the surrounding enemies.
Seeing this, the monks who were fighting on the edge quickly took out plum-sized 'fire beads' and threw them towards the poisonous smoke.
This kind of fire bead is a level 1 low-level formation bead. It can be used to dispel miasma and smoke poison in foggy swamp areas. It can also be used to illuminate caves and make fire in cold places. It is one of the items that many monks always carry when traveling.
In addition, using fire beads to destroy corpses, kill people and set fires is also a common method of committing evil.
Boom, boom, boom...
The fire beads exploded one by one, spurting out raging fire and splashing in all directions.
Nourishing, nourishing, nourishing...
When the poisonous smoke meets the fire, it makes a burning sound and then disappears.
Although the poisonous smoke of the fifth-level monster is very powerful, it is not invincible.
And "fire" has always been used as a weapon to restrain "insidiousness". Naturally, one thing can suppress another.
Hold on! Hold on! Hold on!
On the other side, the monks holding the chains kept shouting.
They did not compete with the monster's head-on power, but kept wandering around to avoid the front of the centipede's head.
Seeing that the poisonous smoke was suppressing it, the tooth-burial centipede turned its head left and right but couldn't bite anyone, so it flicked its tail with all its might.
The huge body, more than fifty meters long, swung its tail sideways like a hurricane, instantly throwing away the six or seven people who were holding on to the chain at the tail end.
Most of the people in the team are 'Tomahawk-level' monks recruited with huge sums of money from Moxiong City in Beiliang.
On the annual herbal medicine collection day, many casual cultivators naturally come to Beishan Hongcheng to purchase some fresh medicinal materials that have just come out of the valley.
Most of these monks are not very strong, but they are generally people who lick blood from the edge of a knife.
Beiliang Moxiong was also determined to bleed a lot. As long as he kept the city, he didn't care about the spirit stones.
If the city is destroyed, there will be nothing left.
Therefore, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and everyone will respond to the call.
As for Beiliang Moxiong, he was worthy of being a weathered old city lord. He quickly organized these people into columns to fight together, and supplemented them with long-chain weapons to carry out tug-of-war.
Even if the fifth-level monster is equivalent to a strong human being at the 'war spirit level', it does not mean that a single monster can crush all monks below the war spirit level.
The so-called: the ants kill the elephant to death.
Dozens or hundreds of people unite together, even if they only have 'Tomahawk level' strength, they can still deal with the Buried Tooth Centipede for a long time.
However, it is impossible to kill him.
However, all Beiliang Moxiong wants is to be able to hold off the monster, even for one day.
"Hold it! Quick, hold it! Don't mess around!"
Beiliang Moxiong slashed the monster's head with his sword to attract its attention, while he readjusted his deployment and stabilized the formation.
Although he is at the fourth level of the mid-level fighting spirit level, he has the highest strength among everyone. But he didn’t dare to fight head-on.
If you are hit by a centipede once, even if you are lucky enough to survive, you will be paralyzed and seriously injured, and your life will be considered useless.
However, if he did not take the initiative to attract the attention of the monster, the remaining people would probably be easily defeated by the Tooth Buried Centipede.
…
Tianyun Sect, Sect Master’s Hall
In the spacious and bright hall, the seats on both sides were filled with hall masters and hall masters from the three inner halls and three halls, and behind these hall masters stood other deacons and elders.
Those who can participate in this discussion naturally have a certain strength and status within the sect.
Everyone was present, and the atmosphere in the hall was depressing. Because they knew what was going on in advance, everyone's face was filled with solemnity.
Shui Hanyan sat upright, glanced calmly at the elders of His Highness, and said calmly:
"I have just received an urgent report from Beishan Hongcheng asking for help. The fifth-level demonic beast Burial Tooth Centipede broke out of the Medicine Valley. At this moment, the Lord of Beiliang City is dealing with the demonic beast. How should you deal with this matter?"
"Lord Sect Leader, what do the City Lord's Mansion say?"
Your Highness, Situ Qingyang, the great elder of Dantang, asked first.
Although his strength is not necessarily the highest within the sect, no one dares to object because of Dantang's great contribution to the sect.
Therefore, no one would think it was inappropriate if Situ Qingyang spoke first.
"City Lord Bai hopes that each of our three sects will send a certain amount of manpower to support each other. Of course, the City Lord's Mansion will also send people there..."
Shui Hanyan gave a brief summary.
"Then who does the sect leader plan to send?"
The speaker was sitting opposite Situ Qingyang, a middle-aged man wearing black gauze and short sleeves, with a burly body and a lot of muscles.
This person is the leader of the martial arts hall—Jin Daoshuo, with a fourth-level strength at the mid-level war spirit level.
He was rough, bold, and quick-tongued. Although his personality was not liked by the elders, he devoted himself to Tianyun Sect, so everyone respected him very much.
“This reinforcement is extremely dangerous, and I believe everyone is well aware of the strength of the fifth-level monsters even if I don’t tell them.
Considering that our Tianyun Sect’s martial arts is weak, our sect leader plans to send ten strong men from the martial arts hall and ten elders from the alchemy hall. Mainly assisting the other two sects and the city lord's mansion in killing monsters and treating the wounded..."
"Elders, what do you think?"
Shui Hanyan said clearly.
"I have no opinion"
"Me neither"
"agree"
…
Soon, each church expressed its support for the sect leader's proposal one after another, and everyone knew:
In terms of martial arts strength, Tianyun Sect is indeed inferior to the other two sects, so naturally it cannot bear the important task of killing monsters.
Just send some people to help fight, there is no need to fight so hard.
Of course, Tianyun Sect's advantage lies in its alchemy attainments, so it can play a greater role in treating the wounded.
"In that case, it's settled. Please arrange the manpower for Hall Master Jin and Elder Situ. Hall Master Jin will lead the team this time. After a stick of incense, they will set off..."
Shui Hanyan stood up and left his seat, and arranged the instructions without any fuss.
Such vigorous and resolute action also made many people secretly sigh:
The sect leader was able to achieve such a feat not long after he took over, so he was indeed worthy of being that person's disciple.
