The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

He Yuan in the northwest forest was obviously weak, and his reaction and attack intensity were not as powerful as what Xiao Yuhan saw at the entrance of the waterway. The number he encountered at one time was not more than 10 when he fought all the way. The ones Zhou Wanshan and others dealt with were not counted. Hard work.

However, the waves of monster attacks consume a lot of weapons, especially the consumption of spiritual arrows. In just one day, half of the spiritual arrows carried with them are consumed, and the weapons need to be replenished every time they take a break. The consumption of stones, shields, knives, swords, and spiritual arrows consumed one-fifth of a box of supplies.

In fact, anyone who has experienced war understands that these consumptions are necessary consumption. Although these Heyong are slightly weaker, they are still real Qi-gathering monsters. If they cannot be killed quickly, the resilience of these monsters is also very strong. What's terrible is that if you fail to kill these monsters quickly to save war stones, it will not only increase consumption but may also cause casualties.

Zhu Laosi's reconnaissance team tried to go back during their first break, but they were still attacked by monsters, so the logistics supplies could only be sent outside the entrance stone formation to be picked up when everyone returned. They were not worried that the people delivering supplies would be in danger. A danger warning was set up at the first attack site. If the people in the reconnaissance team could not go back, no one would cancel the warning. The people in the logistics team would not rush in after seeing the warning. Danger zone.

"Brother Zhou, what is this battle stone?" Xiao Yuhan asked Zhou Wanshan, who was arranging his equipment while eating cakes while resting.

"Hahaha, this war stone is a good thing. Ten of them can be exchanged for a cattle." A guard said as he handed the war stone to Zhou Wanshan.

"Haha, yes, our main business in the military camp is this. This thing is also the core of all weapons." Zhou Wanshan installed the war stone into the hidden box behind the shield and the handle of the knife.

Xiao Yuhan looked at these small stones engraved with patterns curiously. Chen Subaru didn't understand the formation. She didn't understand the purpose of the patterns, and she didn't intend to study the principles of it. She didn't need to use this gadget, she just felt that It's quite special to have little things like this in this day and age.

"Then who made these stones?" Xiao Yuhan threw some discarded war stones back to the scrap pile.

"I heard from the captains in the army that in the war stone trade, the imperial court accounts for three points and the Jianghu accounts for seven percent. Originally, the imperial court accounted for the majority in the troubled times, but since the rise of monks in the world, most of you cultivators are unwilling to be bound by the imperial court. There are monk sects that spend a lot of money to recruit craftsmen from various places to provide them with life and safety. It is said that these sects have a resource called spiritual veins, and the production of war stones is related to this spiritual vein." Zhou Wanshan felt that these little secrets These are all things that can be found out with a little effort, and I am happy to say it to gain a good impression of this fledgling and capable boy.

The group did not travel at night because they found that the attacks along the way were regular. If you are not in a hurry, they will attack at a fixed time. If you are in a hurry, they will not only attack at a fixed time but also ambush at a certain location. The vision at night is too poor to find the ambush point, so it is better to stick to the spot. Now that we know the enemy's attack time and have a pretty good idea of ​​the enemy's strength, we can set up traps and allow personnel to take turns to rest.

In the early morning of the next day, after repelling the attack of 8 Heyong, everyone took a short rest and then continued to set off. When they arrived, Zhu Laosi reported that they found a stone temple. Everyone was overjoyed. Faced with endless challenges, Everyone was tired of the monsters harassing them. If nothing was found for another two days, they would have to consider retreating.

Everyone came to the stone hall and took a rest outside the hall. The location of this stone palace is very strange. A solitary building stands in a circular open space. There are still regular strange rocks placed on the edge of the open space. The one thing that is different is that this time there are also strange rocks on both sides of the stone hall. If you look at it from the air, this stone palace looks like a pavilion in the forest.

The columns and the broken door outside the stone hall seemed to have been washed away by the years. Everyone guessed that this was a building used for sacrifices during the Shang and Zhou dynasties. In Zhou Yuhan's view, this was a temporary mechanism set up by a powerful man last week. There is a building arranged like this, there are not even vines around it, and there is a mess of spiritual energy lingering around.

Stepping inside the stone hall, sunlight shines into the hall through the cracked stone walls, which is not too dark. Xiao Yuhan did not see any spiritual energy fluctuations in the hall, and Zhu Laosi and others did not find any ambush. There were only empty halls, broken stone pillars, and a lonely stone platform in front of the main wall.

Zhou Wanshan and Xiao Yuhan walked to the stone platform, while others were on guard around the hall. There were two black signs placed on the stone platform. Zhou Wanshan and Xiao Yuhan each picked up one. The material was stone. It had no spiritual power and could not inject spiritual power. When the two of them were wondering what it meant to put two ordinary stones here, the vigilant guards started to make a commotion.

"Master Zhou, there is an enemy attack!" The two guards in sword uniforms who were on guard at the door retreated into the hall to warn while changing their arrows.

As the guards shouted, the sound of babies crying could be heard all around the stone palace, and the sounds came one after another from the holes and gates of the stone palace.

"Sir, there are too many to count!"

"Quick! Block the door quickly!"

Everyone did not expect to be surrounded by such a large number of monsters, and fell into panic for a while.

"Why are you panicking! This door can't be blocked, so let's let it in and kill. The shield guards will be arrayed 15 steps away from the door, and the bows and arrows will be 30 steps away from the door. The beast is not difficult to kill! Brother Chen also wants you to provide more support from the side!" Zhou Wanshan shouted While commanding, he threw the stone to Xiao Yuhan and rushed to the door, setting up a sword and shield to be on guard.

Xiao Yuhan was holding two stones and suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the stone platform.

A burly Heyong beast roared and rushed into the stone palace gate. When its front hooves were in the air and it was about to lock its eyes on the prey, two spiritual arrows were directly driven into its left eye and mouth. The powerful spiritual power It erupted from the wound and directly exploded its head into pieces, and its body slammed backwards onto the three Heyong who were rushing towards it.

This second's delay could not stop the Heyuan army's attack. Four of them still stumbled into the hall. Although they were unsteady on their feet, they still howled and charged forward wildly. The four shields gleamed with silver light and hit the heads of the four beasts. As soon as they howled, they saw a flash of red light, and their heads lost contact with their bodies.

"Protect!"

Following Zhou Wanshan's loud roar, seven or eight water jets were shot from outside the palace, hitting Heyong's back and the shields of the soldiers in the palace.

Just when the battle situation was getting worse, a golden ripple suddenly spread from the inside out in the stone palace. A golden light flashed in the eyes of Heyong, who was charging, and then he suddenly began to return to the forest like an ebbing tide. When Zhou Wanshan looked back, he saw from the corner of his eye a Heyong that was trying to enter through a hole in the wall and was stuck on the stone wall struggling.

The sudden retreat of the Heyuan army made everyone secretly happy but also deeply surprised. After Zhou Wanshan explained the security matters, he rushed to Xiao Yuhan next to the stone platform to ask what happened.

Xiao Yuhan frowned and pointed at the stone platform. Zhou Wanshan saw that where the stones were originally placed on the stone platform, there were now two familiar jade tablets.

"Aren't these the two jade tablets found in the Xishan camp?" Zhou Wanshan asked Xiao Yuhan doubtfully.

"It's those two pieces. I've been wanting to study them since I cracked the entrance stone gate. When you gave me the stone tablets just now, I took the two stone tablets together and found that the shapes were the same as the two jade tablets. The situation was critical just now, so I replaced the jade plaque without thinking too much, but now that I think about it, I always feel that something was wrong." Xiao Yuhan told Zhou Wanshan about the situation just now, and at the same time raised his concerns.

At the same time, at the Xishan camp, when Zhou Ping'er had just prepared meals for the guards delivering supplies and asked about the situation in the secret area, there was a rumble from the quiet mine tunnel, and the entrance gate was closed.
