Chapter 301: The Green Dragon Reappears

The monsters have begun to move south, and the most severe test for the Black Mountain monks has finally come.

Because the Jiaohefang monks had withdrawn, there were no reinforcements near Heishan. Zhang Zhixuan could only issue a strict order to recruit monks from the three southeastern counties to coordinate the defense of Heishan.

During the previous war in the Southern Wilderness, almost all the monks from the three southeastern counties followed Wu Sixeng to guard Jiaohefang. However, in order to help Lu Hongniang guard her spiritual veins, Wu Siheng has been stationed at Guiyuan Peak in recent years, and his disciples and grandchildren have also been trapped in Guiyuan Mountain with him.

Without the Zifuqi monks in charge, the Jiaohefang monks did not dare to hold on. The Qingxuanzong monks returned to Tuoshanfang, and the family monks from the three southeastern counties retreated to their own mountain gates.

The Sanzi Mansion of the Zhang family was already at the top of the Qingxuan Sect, and had enough power to issue recruitment orders to the monks from the vassal family.

Under Zhang Zhixuan's tough-tongued order, the foundation-building families in the three counties began to dispatch manpower to Montenegro to obey the order.

Among the four foundation-building monks of the Zhang family, Sihong was besieged in Guiyuan Mountain, accompanied by more than a dozen clan members. Tonghuai was guarding Chaoyin Mountain and could not be separated from them for a moment. Zhang Leqian followed Zhang Zhixuan to Heishan. The spiritual pulse can only be left to be guarded by Sidao, and the one who cooperates with him is Zhang Siming, who is a master of Qi training.

The same is true for several other monks in Taicheng County. The family monks were pinned down in several places, and in the end they could only deploy one foundation building and thirty Qi-training monks to reinforce Black Mountain. These people have already gathered under the leadership of Su Heng. Start heading towards Montenegro.

The dozen foundation-building families in Liaoshan and Longjiang counties were able to mobilize more manpower in the face of this disaster.

This time, the family monks from the two counties deployed 13 foundation-building monks, plus more than 500 Qi-training monks. Although the journey was longer, they borrowed the whale beast of Qingxuan Sect to get to the Black Mountain Spirit Vein first.

It has been almost 400 years since Liang Ancestor opened up the Black Mountains. Although the situation in the Black Mountains has been tight over the years, a lot of mortals have been reproduced in the Black Mountains. Although there have been many casualties due to the locust chaos in the East Pole, there are still 20,000 to 30,000 people there now.

These two to thirty thousand people are all relatives of monks, and some of them are relatives of monks who migrated to Jiangkou County, Jiangnan County and other places. The blood of these people is very good, and it is much easier than ordinary mortals to give birth to children with spiritual roots. Moreover, they have lived near Montenegro for a long time and have adapted to the climate and environment of Montenegro.

In Zhang Zhixuan's eyes, these mortals are not a burden, but capital for the Zhang family's future rise.

After Zhang Zhixuan took over Heishan, he had ordered some low-level monks to build a town and named it Heishan County. Then gather these mortals in Heishan County and protect them in the mountain protection formation.

After some monks from the Zhang family came to Heishan, Zhang Zhixuan immediately asked them to intermarry with local mortals on a large scale. Some clan members with poor spiritual roots were also placed by Zhang Zhixuan in official and semi-official positions in Heishan County, preparing to take root here.

Since receiving the news that Guiyuan Mountain was besieged, Zhang Zhixuan immediately began to mobilize the Black Mountain monks. All the monks in the Qi training period have gone up to the mountain. They no longer go out to search for resources or hunt monsters, but practice large formations on the mountain every day. Cooperate with the monks in the foundation building period to guard the mountain gate.

And Zhang Zhixuan's three purple houses also began to investigate the news day and night, killing the monsters that wandered around Black Mountain, and looking for traces of the monster army.

Three months have passed since we received the information that the monsters were heading south. Within the past three months, monks from Longjiang County and Liaoshan County have arrived with reinforcements. Su Heng from Taicheng County is not far from Heishan. It takes ten days to walk to the vicinity of Heishan.

It has been raining continuously for a month. The dark clouds are getting thicker and thicker in the sky, and there are thunders in the sky.

Zhang Zhixuan stood on the top of the Black Mountain, his expression heavy: "According to usual practice, the monster army should have appeared long ago. I don't know what happened this time, but there was no movement at all. What should I do now? I should remain unchanged and deal with the situation. Should we wait for help, or should we go out and investigate the beast tide? "

While Zhang Zhixuan was meditating secretly, Han Yan and Qing Chan climbed to the top of the mountain together.

"Brother Zhixuan, there is no movement of monsters over there?" Qing Chan asked with a serious face.

In the recent period, although Zhang Zhixuan and the others have not dared to leave Montenegro too far, the situation in the surrounding area of ​​3,000 miles has already been clearly investigated.

In order to gather strength, even the Hanjiao Pond, which was thousands of miles away but very close at hand, was abandoned, and all the mature Xuanyou grass in the pond was excavated and taken away.

Zhang Zhixuan smiled bitterly and said: "If you want to find out the information about the monsters, you have to go further, and in this situation, you may encounter a fifth-level monster outside. Even if we gather the strength of the three of us, we will encounter a fifth-level monster." The beast is no match."

"Old Ancestor Liang left at the wrong time. It would be great if he could hold on for another twenty years." Han Yan murmured to himself.

This kind of aimless waiting without knowing the way forward is a heavy torment for the Montenegrin monks.

Even though Zhang Zhixuan and the others have reached a high level of cultivation, their faces still look sad.

If Black Mountain cannot defend it, a large number of monks on the mountain will suffer heavy losses. Even if Zhang Zhixuan and the others can retreat safely, without the barrier of Black Mountain, Taicheng County will be exposed to the monster.

The Zhang family's hundreds of thousands of mortals in Lushan County will definitely not be able to survive. Without these mortals, it will take at least two hundred years for the family to recover.

Just when the Black Mountain monk was anxious, Su Heng from Taicheng County finally came with his people. More than ten years later, his cultivation base has been built to the ninth level, and his magic power has become very strong. Together with Chu Yunyang, another ninth-level foundation-building monk, and six or seven late-stage foundation-building monks such as the clan leader and Liu Zixuan, it was enough to contain a fourth-level monster.

When all the reinforcements arrived, there were already three purple mansions, 28 foundation-building cultivators, and more than 4,800 Qi training cultivators on the Black Mountain. So many people were protected by a fifth-level formation. Even if the fifth-level monsters were besieged with a large population, it would be difficult to bite off the hard bone of the Black Mountain in a short time.

After waiting for more than half a month, the monster army finally showed its traces.

The leader of the monster army was the Green Dragon, who had been missing for many years. This dragon had dealt with Zhang Zhixuan twice. Although Zhang Zhixuan's cultivation was low at that time and he could not intervene in major events at all, he remembered clearly that the Green Dragon was cunning and difficult to deal with.

Although this dragon was not fifth-level, its wisdom was definitely not inferior to that of human cultivators. Its intelligence was no less than that of a demon cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.

Although the Green Dragon's level was relatively insufficient, it might be more difficult to deal with because its intelligence far exceeded that of fifth-level monsters.

The beast group came very quickly. In just a few days, it arrived 200 miles away from the Black Mountain.

Zhang Zhixuan and Qing Chan practiced the Purple Qi Divine Light, and their eyesight had long surpassed that of ordinary people. A distance of two hundred miles was enough for them to see the scale of the monster clearly.
