The Dutian Lingguan Road that started from the Taoist soldiers

Chapter 9 Boneless Forest

After the county government issued the clearing order, the entire East County became lively. During this period, there were even county leaders and local tycoons in the county who kept sending letters to the county governor's office, hoping to "donate" some strength to the county.

A small purge order instantly made the County Magistrate Ying the king of Dongjun!

But all this had nothing to do with Wu Yong. He was preparing his men at the moment. After Xu Miaoxi had given the mine guards who had returned from Beiyuan a beating, Wu Yong met with them again and grouped them together with the guards.

This time, the Fudi cleanup mission was carried out by the guards in the mansion and the old servant with strong martial virtues who had been dealing with banditry from all sides in the Beiyuan mines for many years.

The Wu family guards currently have three sorcerers and nearly seventy Qigong practitioners. Wu Yong organized and selected them, picked out nearly thirty of the most skilled Qigong practitioners, and let the three sorcerers lead them to participate in the journey to the blessed land.

Among the Taoist soldiers, led by You Xue and You Jijiu, the other twelve were also trained quite efficiently.

"Our goal this time is to wipe out the harpies in the Boneless Forest!"

"As for the materials for these little monsters, there are already mountains of eagle feathers and sharp blades piled up in the treasury over the years. This time they will belong to you individually. You can also go to the market to exchange them for some food in your spare time."

"But you must remember that after killing the little demons, use the soul flags given to you to extract their spirits!"

"This is a task you must complete! Collect the spirits of the harpies, the more the better..."

The middle-aged warlock in the original guard team solemnly issued orders to the entire team.

"set off!"

A group of forty or fifty people, all riding on dragon horses, with the sound of hooves rumbling, passed through the side street of the Taoist temple and galloped straight to the Three Mountains Rock at the back of the Taoist temple. Behind each Taoist temple there is a hundred-meter-high boulder shaped like a fairy mountain, which is also the entrance to each Taoist temple's blessed land!

"Is this the dragon horse that the beast garden in the mansion got from Jizhou? What a good horse, what a good horse!"

"I heard that each of the newcomers in the Taoist camp was given a horse. I want to go to the Taoist camp too!"

"I drool over the silver wolf of Youzhou Tuqi every day in Beiyuan. Our dragon horse is also very good!"

"Hmph! Don't be ignorant of the value of this, kid. This is a dragon horse from the Jizhou North Sea Cave Heaven. It has the blood of a sea dragon and is even higher in rank than the Youzhou White Wolf! The master spent a lot of money to get dozens of them."

"."

A group of guards rode majestically on the back of the dragon horse, observing the green-scaled dragon horse below them.

Few people can resist the temptation of such a mighty mount!

Wu Yong had gone through great pains to obtain this dragon horse from the rumored illegitimate son of Jizhou governor, in a shady way.

All the stallions, war horses and the corresponding supply systems were brought over, and the price paid for this was the five or six mining mountains and all the facilities in them that the Wu family had operated in Beiyuan for hundreds of years.

However, these war horses are also of good quality. After being armed, these dozens of Taoist guards can exert the power of hundreds of people!
The dragon horse's body structure is completely different from that of a horse. It can almost be said to be another species. When it runs on land, it is like a chariot charging.

The dragon horse is about ten feet tall, with a body like a unicorn, a dragon tail, claws like a deer or eagle, strong and powerful limbs, and the saddle behind it looks like a chariot.

At this time, the various forces in front of the Taoist temple's Sanshan Stone had expired, leaving only the county government in charge.
The Wu family is the largest family of cultivators that went out this time. Each prominent family has a dozen Qigong practitioners, or some sorcerers leading the way, who took the opportunity to plunder some supplies in the secret realm.

No family dared to overstep the line, for fear of taking too much and angering the Ying and Zhou families.

"Brother Yong's battle this time is really huge!"

Zhou Boyao sat cross-legged on top of a huge red crane. The crane stood on one leg and was more than ten meters tall. When it stepped forward, it attracted everyone's attention. It turned out to be a terrifying spiritual crane comparable to a second-level immortal!
On the contrary, there were not many people coming from the Zhou family, only ten. With Zhou Boyao and the Danhe, it was equivalent to having the combat power of five second-level immortals!
The dragon horse also looks petite and cute in front of the huge crane.

"Brother Boyue's crane is the real leader!"

The two men complimented each other for a few words, then stood in front of the Sanshan Rock, waiting for someone from the county government to come.

However, the protagonists of this trial, the students of the Taoist Academy, seemed to have become a background board in front of such a scene. The big figures from all parties in the county stood directly in front of the Three Mountain Stones, making them stand in the last row.

It seems like it's stealing the show!
boom! boom! boom!
A series of loud noises were accompanied by orderly vibrations, and a huge Taoist camp appeared. At first glance, the Taoist soldiers were organized into an orderly square formation, and every step seemed to step on everyone's heart.

This Taoist square formation has a total of one hundred people, all of whom are armed with weapons, crossbows, strong bows, cold spears, hand knives, armor...

The word "courage" is fully implemented from top to bottom in Daoying!
"Everyone, I'm not too late, am I?"

Ying Qinghe rode a white-scaled dragon horse and slowly walked out from behind the Taoist soldiers, followed by four sea-covering warriors from the Taoist camp.

"It's not too late, it's not too late!"

"The Shaofu arrived at the right time!"

"We just arrived."

Responses immediately came one after another from all around.

Ying Qinghe drove his horse to the entrance of the blessed land and gently placed the half key in his hand into the Sanshan Stone. Seeing this, the chief deacon of the Taoist temple also calmly embedded a talisman into the stone carving.

The two keys were inserted at the same time, and the Sanshan Stone suddenly began to change. A huge black mouth suddenly appeared on the stone surface, and ripples appeared on the surface.

"Captain Si! This is the entrance to the blessed land."

The middle-aged sorcerer rolled down from his dragon horse and gave orders to the guards and Taoist soldiers.

"Calm your mounts. The black hole is where the barrier is. After passing through it, you will reach the Boneless Forest Blessed Land!"

"Be alert, anything can happen at any time after entering the blessed land!"

Upon hearing this, the Wu family's guards all dismounted and pulled the reins of the dragon horses, watching the county government's guards enter, followed by the Zhou family and the other family teams.
"That's You Xue, right?"

"Haha! Which young talent did he become a disciple of? He even became a Taoist guard!"

"Ahahaha? Daoist soldier?? With her figure, I can believe her if you say she is a concubine." "You're going too far. Sister You Xue is quite talented. She won't be too bad if she becomes a Taoist soldier!"

"Not only that, Chen Qun and Zhao Baiqi are also here! This is really interesting."

"Just a bunch of losers!"

"."

The Taoist students started to comment on these "losers". Their voices were not suppressed at all and were heard by the people who were entering the blessed land barrier.

Especially You Xue, when she heard those humiliating words, her body froze!
"You guys!"

"What does this little gossip mean?"

"They are just a bunch of Qi training scum, with no background and no resources. Most of them can't even touch the second level of immortality in their entire lives."

"As for you, as long as you don't die on the way, my Wu family can still afford to support a dozen of you strongmen. When that time comes, you will look back and look down on them!"

Wu Yong chuckled.

"Okay, cheer up!"

After the Dragon Horse and Scale Cavalry team passed through the barrier, they fell directly into a big river. At the same time, the county soldiers and guards of various tribes who had entered earlier struggled in the river for a while and climbed onto the shore, looking quite embarrassed!
"What bad luck! The gate opened into the middle of the only big river in the blessed land. The location of this barrier gate is too good!"

The soldiers from the county government poured out the river water from their hoods, wrung out the water from their armor, and muttered.

Soon after, another group of unlucky people fell into the river, and were greeted with cheers from the people on the shore!
"you……"

The Jiang family's guards pounced twice, maintained their balance in the turbulent river, and swam hard towards the shore!

Soon, there was another loud splash, and the Wu family members stepped out of the barrier and fell directly into the river.

"Don't panic! Maintain formation and count the number of people!"

"Hold the reins tightly and calm the dragon horse!"

After falling into the river, the Wu family guards quickly stabilized themselves, maintained their formation, and surrounded Wu Yong as they evacuated to the shore in an orderly manner.

The people on the shore who were watching the excitement were now bored. They had been watching the people who came later getting flustered, so how come this group of people suddenly calmed down?

"Hehe! The Jade Scaled Dragon Horse has the blood of sea dragons and lives both on land and in water. Not to mention this small inland river, even if you fall into the sea, I can keep you safe!"

The old man among the guards said complacently.

Ever since the precious dragon horses were introduced into the menagerie, the Wu family's guards have been treating these big guys very well and have even dug a large artificial lake for them.

After falling into the river, these dragon horses were not frightened at all. They used their four claws to push the waves and their tails to gently swing, and soon they began to swim in the river.

Yo! Yo!
Clear calls like the calls of deer could be heard from the woods on both sides. From time to time, shadows passed through the dense forest with a wild atmosphere, shaking off lush green leaves!

"Even the outskirts of the Boneless Forest are filled with traces of the Eagle Demon?"

Ying Qinghe glanced at the large fleet of green-scaled dragon horses of the Wu family in the distance. Before he had time to think about it, he saw monsters in the forest staring at everyone with gloomy eyes.

"From here on, the ancient green vine forest that stretches for dozens of miles is the Boneless Forest!"

"The harpies in the forest are the largest group of monsters in this blessed land. Each family will divide the work and use this place as the boundary. Move forward and all the spoils will belong to each family!"

Ying Qinghe raised his whip and pointed towards the endless and dense forest.

"I will enter the valley from the west and clear along the cliffs. Most of the monster nests are located under the cliffs. The rest of the scattered monster groups are left to you. Do it on your own!"

"Seven days is the limit. No matter what happens, you will come back here again after seven days..."

"Students from the Taoist Academy should not go too deep into the Boneless Forest!"

The death rate of the Taoist Academy's Qi-refining students in the blessed land trials has been higher year by year in recent years. For this reason alone, the county government has to conduct a thorough investigation.

The county government's Taoist camp directly broke into the ancient forest and advanced along the cliff on the west side. More than a hundred elite Taoist soldiers, carrying various magical instruments and weapons, caused a panic!
"Haha! There are many medicinal fields producing bone-strengthening grass, snake blood grass, and yellow bud grass under the cliff on the west side. The Ying family is still so domineering."

"Brother Yong, leave the eastern plain to me. Since you have such a large number of sea dragon horses, I suggest you go up the river. You will have unexpected gains!"

Zhou Boyao waved his feather fan, and the huge red crane flapped its wings, carrying him to the eastern part of the valley. Zhou's Qigong practitioner had already crossed the river and was waiting ahead.

After the Ying and Zhou families left, the river bank seemed a little sparsely populated. The number of people from the other three families combined was not even as many as that of the Wu family!

The students of the Taoist academy gradually gathered on the shore, and they kept greeting the family of the Taoist academy's chief deacon who located the barrier gate.

"What the hell? The barrier gate is opened in the river. Isn't this premeditated murder?"

"This year he dared to open the barrier gate in the river, next year he will dare to open it on the cliff!"

According to the classification in ancient times, these quasi-Daoyuan Qigong practitioners who have just cultivated Qi and planted spirits are at the first or second level of Qi cultivation. If you throw them into the river, you really can't say for sure which unlucky guy will die before he can accomplish his mission.
This resentment is naturally not small.

Wu Yong nodded slightly to the Taoist temple instructor and the leaders of several other families.

"Then let's inspect from both sides of the river!"

The Wu family's batch of dragon beast mounts are the only ones that can wade through water, and he had intended to do so.
