Chapter 260: Battle in the Devil's Valley IV (text)
The sneak attack is fast, and the defeat is also fast. But I saw that inside the camp, above the young monk's head, there were more than a hundred golden-shelled monster insects the size of a fist with jet-black mouthparts more than half a foot long.
The majestic primeval demonic aura emanated from these more than 100 insect clouds that were connected into several zhang in size, making all the monks and demon soldiers standing nearby afraid to come out in a frightened atmosphere.
Zhu Junhao looked at the insect swarm in the air with a complicated face, and then looked at the young man under the insect swarm. The faces of the few people next to him were not much better. Only the fox Ruyan looked at Wu Yan's gaze, but it seemed to be full of strange colors.
"Haha! I can't imagine that Senior Brother Poison has such a thorough means, Zhu can invite Senior Brother Poison to help, and our army will win this battle!" Zhu Junhao's complicated expression disappeared in a flash, his face was replaced with a sincere smile, and he laughed and said to Wu Yan, his voice was so loud that it immediately spread throughout the entire camp.
Hearing Zhu Junhao's words, Yuan Honglie suddenly woke up on the side, as if he realized something, and then raised his arms and shouted: "The poison master is mighty! Our army will win!"
"The poison master is mighty, our army will win!" The demon soldiers next to them were also excited by Yuan Honglie's repeated voice, and cheered.
"The poison master is mighty! Our army will win!"
......
Cheers erupted from the mouths of each of the surviving demon soldiers. Everyone finally realized at this moment that although there were losses in this first battle, they thwarted the other party's sneak attack, and it was a small victory. The demon insects that had just sneaked up on the side had already been dealt with by the more powerful spirit masters of their own side! This shows that they also have the support of extremely powerful people, and they may not lose the battle in the future. With such a powerful spirit master and poison master, what else is there to worry about in this battle? The demon soldiers had a simple idea, and then cheered happily.
Zhu Junhao glanced at Yuan Honglie with satisfaction, and said, "Old Yuan, arrange for them to continue their previous work, and this son will discuss the next plan with the poison master and the military master." ”
Yuan Honglie immediately responded and took the order. After everyone dispersed, Zhu Junhao smiled bitterly at Wu Yan: "Brother Wu, you are so bitter for me to hide." ”
Wu Yan raised his hand to pinch the trick, and between the slight movements of his eyes, he put all the mutant Sky Devouring Insects into the Spirit Worm Bag. Count carefully, but it is one hundred and one, Wu Yan's face moved slightly, and his divine sense invaded the spirit insect bag, and after a while, a mutant sky swallowing insect was summoned from the spirit insect bag.
Wu Yan glanced towards the north, and then said indifferently to Zhu Junhao: "I didn't mean to hide it from Zhu Gongzi. These spirit insects were originally raised in the next place, and they have been carried with them all the time, but they have not had a chance to use them. What's more, I didn't expect that this insect would have the ability to devour demon insects. ”
The corners of Zhu Junhao's eyes twitched slightly, and he still said with a smile on his face: "Hehe, it seems that Zhu will have to treat Brother Wu as a powerful helper in the future." For a monk like Brother Wu with powerful magical powers, Zhu will have to rely on him more in the future. I hope Brother Wu won't blame Zhu for being slow before, right? Hehe, this time, Zhu will definitely give another generous gift, and the right is to make an apology for Zhu Mou's ignorance of Mount Tai, and I hope Brother Wu will not refuse. Huh!"
Wu Yan sighed, as if he was careless about Zhu Junhao's words, he was frowning at the moment, looking at the carapace of the mutant Sky Devouring Worm in his hand.
Seeing him like this, Zhu Junhao and Hu Ruyan both showed puzzled looks, and they both didn't understand what he was doing.
"Zhu Gongzi, Miss Ruyan is really like a god, that shadow demon has already led twenty demon captains of the night demon camp, and they have set off half an hour ago, along the valley road on this side of Longxi, and touched our camp. If it is as expected by Miss Yan, we still have an hour and a half to deploy the ambush. Moreover, the Poison Venerable really came with him, he rode a night owl beast with the shadow demon, I am afraid that he really went to Longxi to poison him. Wu Yan's face suddenly changed slightly, put away the mutant Sky Devouring Insect, and then said to the two of them.
"What? Brother Wu, how do you know their whereabouts?" Zhu Junhao exclaimed, but Hu Ruyan glanced at the spirit insect bag in Wu Yan's hand meaningfully, and did not speak.
Wu Yan smiled indifferently and said, "Before I came here, I quietly attached a few spirit insects of that kind to the opponent's demon soldiers. A spirit worm that had just returned had a trace of divine consciousness attached to it, so it was only below that we could know their deployment. ”
Of course, this is not the case, after Wu Yan met with Jin Renfeng, he had already agreed on the method of joint communication after entering the Devil's Valley. In order to prevent things from changing and it was difficult to spread the news in time, Wu Yan banned the ten mutant Sky Swallowing Insects in a special way and handed them over to Jin Renfeng. Once something happens, Jin Renfeng will release this insect as soon as possible and announce the news to Wu Yan. Wu Yan naturally wouldn't mention this matter to anyone. This is a major matter related to Jin Renfeng's life and death.
Zhu Junhao's face was mixed. The good thing is that he didn't expect Wu Yan to have such a secret hand, but he was worried that he knew that the other party had sent the Shadow Demon and the Poison Venerable to sneak attack, and even its route was clear, but if he wanted to set up an ambush, he couldn't send a force that could compete with this surprise attack team for a while.
The shadow demon has the cultivation of the late Jindan period, and the supernatural power of his body is the most famous for the escape technique, followed by the night owl beast under his crotch, this beast is a sixth-level demon spirit beast, and its strength is comparable to that of a mid-Jindan monk. And the twenty night demon captains under his command are all elite people, all of them have the strength of the peak of the foundation building period, and all of them are brave and good at fighting.
With such an elite team, I'm afraid that even if he sends a team of 100 people, it may not be his opponent. The matter of the ambush was discussed in detail before, but Zhu Junhao guessed with common sense that the Shadow Demon should be able to reach the sky with a maximum of ten Night Demon Captains who had mixed in, but now judging from the number given by Wu Yan, there were as many as twenty of them, which was twice as many as he imagined. This was obviously much more than he expected, and it was only because he was so worried.
"Ruyan, what should you do in your opinion?" Zhu Junhao pondered for a moment, and a wry smile appeared on his face that was more ugly than crying. This violet wants to kill him. I'm afraid that there may not be no secret instruction from the eldest brother here. Thinking of this section, the anger and sadness in Zhu Junhao's heart can be imagined.
Although the command of the Night Demon Battalion is in the hands of Violet, the dispatch of the Demon Captain of the Night Demon Battalion of such two squads is already a big deal in the Demon Mansion, and it must be personally approved by the Captain of the Governor's Mansion, otherwise this is a violation of the military discipline of the Demon Mansion, and according to the law, he will be dismissed and investigated. Zhu Junhao is familiar with the law and discipline of the Demon Mansion, and An Neng can't see it.
"Naturally, we have to set up an ambush, since we already know that the other party is making such a surprise attack, and we know the path of its march, such a good opportunity, even if we pour half of our strength, we must ambush them. It would be best if it could be wiped out, even if it couldn't, as long as it could take the opportunity to kill the Shadow Demon, it would be worth taking some risks. Hu Ruyan said in a very affirmative tone.
"Okay, this time, let's just take a risk, leaving only Fu Bo and the hundred banner soldiers here to continue to deploy the camp, and the others will all be ambushes to intercept and kill the shadow demon!" Zhu Junhao immediately made a cold decision after a little thought. Time was running out for him to think about it now.
Immediately, he immediately summoned Yuan Honglie and Zhu Jiufu over and briefly explained the plan to the two of them. When the two learned of the severity of the situation, they also agreed with this move, but it was only after the party was decided that the Zhu camp began to assemble and mobilize again.
Wu Yan pondered for a while, and then proposed to Zhu Junhao the idea that he wanted to take the lead alone. When Zhu Junhao heard him say this, his face immediately became a little ugly. After all, now it seems that in the entire Zhu Fang camp, Wu Yan's magical means are the most powerful and effective, if Wu Yan is not present in this interception, I am afraid that even if the interception is successful, it will eventually cause great losses to this side.
However, after Wu Yan proposed to him that he wanted to go to Longxi to solve the poisoning of the Poison Venerable, and then after returning quickly and fighting them back and forth, Zhu Junhao happily agreed.
After the two tentatively agreed on the location of the ambush, they went their separate ways.
With the marching speed of the demon soldiers, this ambush location should naturally not be too far away, otherwise it is very likely that they will run into the Shadow Demon and the Daredevil Captain head-on during the march. If it was too close, it would easily arouse the suspicion of the other party, so everyone set up an ambush on a pontoon bridge where the tributary and valley of Longxi diverted to Nanying.
This place is a must for the Beiying Surprise Attack Team, and other places are unwalkable due to the complex terrain and difficult roads.
Wu Yan used the unique technique of walking in the wind and walking all the way out of the camp, and his body turned into a shadow running rapidly, and disappeared from everyone's eyes in the blink of an eye.
Zhu Junhao, Hu Ruyan and the others, seeing that Wu Yan still had such a strange land escape method, showed a strange look on their faces.
Now, in the eyes of everyone, Wu Yan seems to be more and more mysterious and more and more incomprehensible. Wu Yan ran away, and the others didn't care much about it, but Zhu Junhao's face was a little gloomy.
However, the time was so short, and everyone had no intention of thinking about anything else, and each of them resorted to his own means, and hurried north along the road of the valley.
Wu Yan was concerned about another matter at this time, as soon as the other party left the camp, he started to escape at the maximum speed, and galloped along the valley passage and headed north.
After driving out for a few moments, a deep stream about dozens of feet wide stretched in front of me. Above the stream, a rudimentary bridge made of driftwood appeared in front of me.
This must be Longxi. It is said that this stream originates from the inside of Mount Kongo, because its water flows through the roots of the ancestral tree that nourishes the soul, so this water has the effect of passing through the underworld, and is also called the Longxi Dark Spring. After the Soul Nourishing Ancestral Tree died, this water also lost its effect of channeling through the underworld, and it reverted to the form of magic water. However, although this water has various visions, it does not affect its effect as a drinker, and drinking this water is even very beneficial to monks who practice demonic skills and demon magic. If you travel within this water, you will not be able to reach out your consciousness, otherwise your consciousness will be swallowed up by this water. Wu Yan walked to the edge of the stream, and saw that the water was deep and dark, and there was a trace of demonic energy on the surface of the water, and immediately his expression moved slightly, and he plunged into the water, without even a trace of waves, and disappeared completely in the blink of an eye-by:dasguoo|11329479084131178973|260――>
