Chapter 989 Escape

Seeing the monks in such a weak state, the monster fell into ecstasy and charged forward desperately.

"Come on!"

"Kill me! Destroy these monks!"

The monsters were extremely excited, as if they had seen the beautiful scene of breaking through the defensive formation and capturing and devouring the monks as they pleased.

The monks rose up to resist, and used various magical powers that were greatly reduced in power to attack the monsters one after another. However, in the eyes of the monsters, they were just struggling to death and were not a concern at all.

‘Be prepared to strike! ’

The monks hidden in another formation, after hearing the reminder, the magic power in their bodies circulated rapidly, and their powerful magical powers were ready to be used, just waiting for the monsters to approach.

Rumble——

The sound of explosions continued, but even so, it could not cover up the monster's arrogant and unrestrained laughter.

"Be obedient and surrender, don't struggle any more!"

Looking at the crumbling formation that was about to fall apart, bloodthirsty red light appeared in the eyes of the monster beasts, and their green-faced fangs looked very ferocious.

But just when they thought victory was about to come, an accident happened!

Thousands of powerful magical powers suddenly appeared in front of the beast tide, and the colorful aura contained a fatal crisis.

Several hundred-foot-sized red dragons were seen rolling in the air, bursts of flames ignited out of thin air, and the huge sea of ​​fire surrounded thousands of monsters.

The dragon made waves in the sea of ​​fire, the temperature soared crazily, and many weak monsters were directly burned to ashes!

Then I saw black thunderclouds gathering above the monsters. With the blessing of a large amount of mana, hundreds of thunderbolts crashed down in an instant, and countless monsters died amidst howls and screams.

Li Zhirui watched the various monks display their power and secretly compared their strength with that of his own Xu Lian tribe. The final result made him very disappointed.

Because generally speaking, they are stronger!

It seems that among the major forces in the mountains in recent years, the Li family has developed the fastest, but that is because the Li family has a slightly inferior background, and the special effects of the "All Spirits Sutra" can allow the contracted spirit beasts to break through quickly. , so this situation occurs.

Think about it, if they don't have enough strength, how can they survive in the mountains close to the demon clan?

Just by looking at this battle, you can tell that the demon clan is still very powerful.

"Won!"

"We once again repelled the demon attack!"

While Li Zhirui was comparing, the other monks burst into cheers.

The demon tribe once again broke up and fled in disgrace.

The monks' sneak attack was very successful this time!

Because the monsters were too excited, they thought that the monks had no power to fight back. They only thought about attacking and did not consider the issue of defense at all. Moreover, the distance was very close. They were less than three miles away from the ambushed monks.

By the time the monsters realized something was wrong, it was too late!

Various powerful magical powers hit their heads, and many monsters were stunned. Although it was only for a moment, it was enough to cause huge damage to them.

Faced with such a situation, the other monks would naturally not let go of such a great opportunity to beat up the drowned dog. Even if their mana was not restored much, they would attack the monster with all their strength.

Less than half a quarter of an hour later, the situation suddenly reversed. The demon clan that originally had the upper hand now suffered heavy casualties. Tens of thousands of demon beasts turned into corpses and remained on the battlefield. On the other hand, there were no casualties on the monks' side.

Of course, the monks did not pay the price.

That was the already shaky defensive formation, which was now so dilapidated that even a group of fourth-level monsters could easily break it completely!

Therefore, the monks only temporarily relieved the crisis.

If the monsters attack again before the formation is repaired or a new formation is set up, the monks will not be able to hide in the formation and take advantage of this huge advantage. They must have a real battle with the monsters. bloody battle!

So after the joy passed, the monks calmed down and quickly realized this serious problem.

"All the formation masters come here to collect the spiritual objects. Everyone, hurry up and repair the formation as much as possible!"

A certain Void Refining cultivator from the Zhang family, who didn't know whether he received the instruction from the Fusion cultivator or thought of it on his own, immediately stood up and shouted.

"Go ahead, it's about everyone's safety."

Li Zhirui thought for a while and said to the array masters in his family: "But don't expose your true level. Just be about the same as other monks."

Because of Jiang Fengwu's powerful inheritance, the Li family's accumulation and foundation in formations far exceeds other cultivation techniques.

Therefore, people who practice formations can enjoy huge benefits and can enjoy the mysterious knowledge of formations. Coupled with the previous gains in cracking the seventh-level formations, the formation masters of the Li family are generally better than other formation masters. powerful.

Many formation masters went to collect the spiritual objects, as well as the formation patterns of the part of the formation they were responsible for repairing, and then quickly rushed to various places.

This is a super formation that covers an area of ​​more than a hundred miles, and the base of the formation is naturally very scattered.

While the formation masters were working hard to repair the formation, other monks were also seizing the time to restore their mana and prepare for the next battle.

"Brother Ninth, aren't you optimistic about the next battle?" Xiao Qing saw Li Zhirui frowning and asked through a message.

"If the support from each family arrives in time, it will be okay, but if the demon clan takes the lead this time and organizes an army to attack, it may be really dangerous."

The nearest forces have already used all their strength. It is impossible for them to have any support. They can only see how fast the other forces are.

The demon clan has experienced two defeats in a row, and both times were considered narrow defeats. They will definitely be more angry, and feel that the strength of the monks is just that, and it is not impossible to win.

In addition, after the first round of the war, the demon clan and the monks organized armies or requested support at almost the same time, so the demon clan may not be a step slower this time.

After all, Jiuqu Gorge is closer to the Monster Clan's territory in terms of location.

"We can only take one step at a time." Xiaoqing was powerless to do anything about it.

"I hope those formation masters are of high enough level and can repair the formation as much as possible to buy us a little more time." Li Zhirui responded helplessly.

But he didn't expect much.

Because after two rounds of battles, those formation mages were also very consumed, and they had to learn formation patterns on the spot.

With Li Zhirui's strength, he doesn't have to worry about the formation being broken and having to fight bloody monsters. What he worries about is his own clan members and the entire Qianzhong Mountains!

It is naturally self-evident how powerful the demon clan's destructive power is.

Even in ordinary times, you can frequently hear about towns that suffered countless casualties due to attacks by monsters.

If the defense line they were on was lost and millions of monsters came out to wreak havoc in the mountains, killing monks and mortals crazily, it would be a huge disaster for the mountain cultivation world.

——

And when the group of seventh-level monsters heard the news that they had been defeated again, they were still furious and cursed trash.

"Such a good opportunity was wasted!"

"How are the other armies organized? Can they launch an attack on Jiuqu Gorge this time before the monks' support arrives?"

Although angry, he also saw a chance to win.

Anyway, it’s not them who died. No matter how many casualties there are, they won’t care or feel distressed.

But if the monks are driven out of Jiuqu Gorge and the three dangerous places around it are occupied by the demon clan, then they can safely mine high-grade fine gold.

Even if they are finally attacked by the monks, they can escape with a large amount of fine gold, leave the mountains, and develop in other lands.

As long as they practice for a period of time, integrate their essence into their natal magic weapons, and exchange them for other precious spiritual objects, their strength will be greatly improved.

"A lot of fifth-level and sixth-level clansmen have gathered, but the number of lower-level clansmen is relatively small." said the sixth-level monster responsible for delivering the news.

The higher the realm of monsters, the easier it is to summon them. On the contrary, it takes a lot of time to find low-level monsters because they are scattered and scattered.

"You go notify them and let them attack the monks while waiting for follow-up assistance." A certain seventh-level monster's eyes were indifferent, not caring about the life or death of those monsters.

"yes!"

The sixth-level monster had long been used to it, and its expression did not fluctuate at all. It responded and left quickly.

About a quarter of an hour later, it found the group of fifth- and sixth-order monster beasts gathered together, numbering about two thousand.

"Ancestor orders you to attack the monks immediately!"

"Isn't this asking us to die?"

As soon as these words came out, many monsters reacted violently. Many of them had just escaped from the battlefield and had already told the monsters about the strength of the monks.

There are nearly 10,000 supporting monks alone, plus the original tens of thousands of monks. Even if they cannot exert too much strength, they are not something that these two thousand monster beasts can fight against.

The sixth-level monster said calmly: "This is the order of the ancestor. I am only responsible for passing it on. Whether you listen or not has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, he disappeared.

"Damn it! This bastard!"

"What do we do now?"

They really didn't want to attack the monks' defensive front now, because it was a close call, but they didn't dare to disobey the orders of the ancestors.

"If you take another step forward, you will have a narrow escape from death, but if you take a step back, you may become food for those ancestors!" A certain monster said these cruel words helplessly.

The other monsters all had wry smiles on their faces.

They knew very well that attacking the monks was indeed very dangerous and there was a high possibility of death, but at least there was still a glimmer of hope.

But if it fell into the hands of those seventh-level monsters, there would be absolutely no chance of survival!

"It looks like we are really going to fight."

The eyes of all the monster beasts were full of unwillingness. They had gone through many hardships to achieve their current cultivation and strength. Why should they die?

"No! We can choose not to obey the order and just take the opportunity to leave the mountains. The sky is so big, how can they still find us?!" Just as a group of monster beasts were unwilling to prepare for action, a fifth-level monster suddenly spoke. said.

When the monsters heard this, they were stunned. Yes, why didn't they think of this method?

"So, I hope you will meet again in the future!"

After it finished speaking, it broke away from the group as quickly as possible and disappeared into the vast mountains and forests.

After seeing the hope of life, most of the monsters left the team without hesitation.

In an instant, more than two thousand fifth-level and sixth-level monsters all left. Not a single monster was willing to stay to attack the precarious monks' defense line.

"It seems like I have to think about myself too!"

The communication monster that disappeared before appeared again.

In fact, it never left. Originally, it wanted to see if these monster beasts would carry out the order. After all, it had to go back and revive.

Unexpectedly, they were so bold that they actually disobeyed the order and planned to leave the Qianzhong Mountains.

This situation gave it a hint of failure, so it also began to think about its future.

And as more than two thousand organized high-level monsters escaped, the monster clan completely lost its only chance to defeat the monks!

There are still a large number of monsters in the mountains, but they are scattered all over the place, and it will take a lot of time to gather them together. When the monsters organize their army again, the monks' second and even third wave of support will probably arrive!

Moreover, with enough time, the formation that was about to be broken could be repaired a lot, greatly enhancing its defense.

Of course, the monks are still unaware of this situation at this time, and everyone is racing against time to regain stronger combat power.

Even Li Zhirui, in order to save more tribesmen in the next 'fierce battle', was quickly refining treasure pills and restoring his mana.

But as time passed, the second wave of supporting monks arrived, and all the monks breathed a sigh of relief, and the safety was greatly improved!

"Is the demon tribe stupid? Such a good opportunity was wasted?" Li Zhirui had a look of doubt on his face.

When monsters have cultivated to a certain level, their spiritual intelligence will not be lower than that of humans, so it is impossible to ignore the critical period before.

Because that is when the monks are at their weakest and at their weakest. As long as the demon clan pays a certain price, they can break through the defense line and invade the human clan's territory.

Not only Li Zhirui, but other monks also found it incredible, and at the same time, they were filled with joy. Fortunately, the demon clan made a mistake, otherwise they would be in danger!

"Brother Ninth, are you okay? What are the casualties among the clan members?"

The support sent by the Li family was also among them, Long and Li asked anxiously.

After all, the news sent back at that time seemed that the monks were in danger and were about to capsize. They were really rushing along the way, so much so that there were some problems with the restriction of the cloud ship.

"It's okay. I won both rounds by luck."

Li Zhirui said: "You came at the right time! The final danger has not passed yet."

The demon tribe made a strategic mistake, but if they summoned a battle as large as the first round, the monks would still be in great danger and might not be able to hold the line of defense. (End of chapter)
