Strange mountains and rivers

Gou Yiwei's suggestion is a feasible measure under the last resort.

Two to three foundation building, plus two to three high-level Qi refining with attack talismans, such a combination can have strong combat power, and can fight against the second-level monsters. For example, ice-scaled blood pythons, border wolves, jackals and Moyun white eagles, a group can kill a group of several of them, which is basically no problem. For example, if there are only one or two black thunder leopards, they can basically solve them.

Encountering a third-level low-grade monster such as Aolong can barely cope with it, at least fight for a while and win the opportunity for reinforcement.

Of course, encountering a third-level medium-grade monster above, such as dire wolves, fire-maned lions and blood eagles, such a tactical team is not very meaningful, and there is a high probability that there will be more chances to escape, but no matter what, you should always make some preparations, which is better than no preparation.

Chen Huaisheng also knew that for now, this was the only way to substantially improve the combat capability. There was no better way, unless some strong people with high foundation building skills suddenly joined in, so that the room for maneuver would be much greater. But now, except for himself who could reach the high foundation building level in terms of magic combat capability, and could barely independently deal with the third-level low-grade monsters and the third-level medium-grade monsters, no one else could do anything.

The biggest reliance was still Bi Jiao Yuanjun and Xiong Zhuang, but what about next year?

Now there was no way to think so far ahead, and we could only survive the winter.

Gou Yiwei also provided some guidance on the choice of talismans and spells.

The tactical team was generally composed of two foundation building and two high-level Qi refining. The two foundation building were responsible for the main response, while the two high-level Qi refining mainly decided to use attack talismans or defense talismans according to the situation.

This temporary combination, unless it persisted and reached a fairly tacit understanding, the effect could only be said to be unsatisfactory.

The facts also proved Chen Huaisheng's judgment.

In the days after the winter solstice, several waves of monsters invaded Dahuai Mountain.

The first round was seven green-fanged wolves.

Two tactical teams were dispatched, Wu Tianen and Ju Zhenzhen, plus Bao Que and Yan Qingxia, as one group, Tang Jingtian plus Zeng Guolin with Fang Baoliu and Gu Yunchun.

The two groups attacked in groups, which was considered to be quite successful, and they won a complete victory soon.

In the second round, they encountered three Aolongs and a group of Moyun white eagles.

Three tactical teams were deployed in this battle, with Zhao Sitian and Gou Yiwei added to be paired with Yan Chixia and Tang Wenhu. Tang Wenhu is now in the sixth level of Qi Refining, but Chen Huaisheng thinks that he can be given some experience opportunities, and there is a great chance that he can break through and advance to the high level of Qi Refining in the near future.

This battle was very difficult. As a reserve team, Chen Huaisheng needed reinforcements at any time, and he was also full of worries, but he still insisted on not summoning Bi Jiao Yuanjun and Xiong Zhuang. He knew that he would have to face this situation sooner or later. If he developed a dependent mentality, it would be difficult for Dahuai Mountain to truly stand up in the future.

Perhaps it would be more stable to let Xiong Zhuang or Bi Jiao Yuan Jun sit aside, but this would always give people psychological comfort and also a kind of dependence, which is both a good thing and a bad thing. Chen Huaisheng would rather take a risk, even if he pays more, it is worth it.

It is relatively better to fight against Ao Long, after all, it is a direct confrontation, and it is not the first or second time to fight against Ao Long, and everyone has some experience. On the contrary, the Mo Yun White Eagle that attacked from the sky also caused a lot of trouble for everyone.

Especially when the fierce battle was in full swing, the five Mo Yun White Eagles took turns to attack from all directions, which also made the three tactical teams in a hurry. Even if Chen Huaisheng intervened in time, it caused great chaos to the entire battlefield.

Ao Long took the opportunity to counterattack, and the joint formation of the three tactical teams almost collapsed. If Chen Huaisheng had not risked his life to kill an Ao Long first, this situation might really be reversed.

This battle was a real test. Four people were injured, Ju Zhenzhen, Gou Yiwei, Yan Chixia, and Tang Wenhu, but fortunately none of them were seriously injured, except Tang Wenhu who was slightly more seriously injured.

If the first two rounds were still within the expected range of war, then the two consecutive days of fighting starting from the third round could be regarded as a real test.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, three dire wolves led nine white-backed jackals into Dahuai Mountain. Fortunately, the early warning array was discovered in time and activated immediately. Chen Huaisheng did not dare to be arrogant at this time and summoned Xiong Zhuang to join. The three tactical teams plus Chen Huaisheng himself, in addition to Jing Zhonghong and Yang Husheng, who had officially come out of retreat and established their foundation, also matched the fourth tactical team composed of two high-level foundation builders and followed up, launching a fierce battle.

In the end, the group of attacking monsters was completely wiped out, but the price paid was not small. Jiang Guolun, the seventh-level Qi training from the old Lingyun Sect, died in the battle, Wu Tianen, Zhao Sitian, Yang Husheng, Bao Que, and Zhu Yanhua, who replaced Tang Wenhu, were seriously injured, and three people were slightly injured.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, a giant tiger broke in, and Chen Huaisheng had no choice but to summon the Green Dragon Yuanjun, but after the Green Dragon Yuanjun injured the giant tiger, the giant tiger broke out, causing Chen Huaisheng, Tang Jingtian, and Ji Huaijiang to be injured. Fortunately, the injuries were not too serious.

However, after the sixth day of the first lunar month, a round of calm period came, and no monsters appeared until the twentieth day of the first lunar month.

On the twenty-third day of the first lunar month, three green-fanged wolves passed by the Dahuai Mountain and were killed by everyone.

On the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, a group of white-backed jackals passed by the outside of the mountain. The magic circle warned that no attack was made in the mountain.

No monsters appeared until the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month.

On the twenty-ninth day of the first lunar month, Xuan Chimei finally came out of seclusion and entered the peak state of Qi Refining.

"It seems that this year's monster wave has passed its climax, and the situation is much better than last year."

Zhao Sitian and Tang Jingtian walked side by side, while Chen Huaisheng and six others, Jing Zhonghong, Yang Husheng, Ji Huaijiang, Zhu Yanhua, and Yan Chixia, lagged behind slightly.

Tang Jingtian's words failed to win the approval of Ji Huaijiang and Zhu Yanhua. Zhu Yanhua said in a deep voice: "Brother Tang, it depends on where you are talking. Maybe compared with last winter in Hebei, our situation is slightly better, but compared with Jijun and Suijun last year. These places are still much more serious. Last time we only had a hundred people in Dahuaishan, we experienced several rounds of monster attacks, almost ten rounds, right? And this winter, the situation in Sui County, Ji County will probably be serious. Much more.”

"The situation in Sui County is also very bad?" Chen Huaisheng knew that the situation in Ji County was very bad, but he did not expect that the situation in Sui County was also the same. This seemed to indicate that the boundaries of the Great Zhao Kingdom were in turmoil.

Yesterday, I received a letter from the spirit pigeon from Wolong Leader. Li Yu mentioned in the letter that the situation in Ji County is extremely serious.

Chongyang Mountain suffered as many as twelve rounds of monster attacks, and almost all of them were led by third-level monsters. The Chongyang Mountain protective formation was breached four times, each time causing more than a hundred casualties. In comparison, , Wolong Ridge has become quiet instead. As of the date of sending the letter, it has only encountered small attacks by monsters.

Ji Huaijiang and Zhu Yanhua came from Bailing Mountain, and they must be related to the original Guipeng Sect members on Bailing Mountain, and Bailing Mountain is in the hinterland of Sui County and the seat of Suiyang Prefecture where the county government is located.

"It's terrible. I'm even glad that we're going fast. If it were later, I'm afraid we would have been attacked by the first wave of monsters." Zhu Yanhua's eyes flashed with fear, "We are on the 20th of November. Six people, Bailing Mountain was attacked by monsters for the first time on the second day of December, and there were seven dire wolves and two blood vultures. At that time, the mountain gate was caught off guard, and there were many casualties. It was only later calculated that only twenty On that day, more than sixty people died at Shanmen, and on the second day more than twenty people died..."

Ji Huaijiang's face was slightly cold, but his eyes were extremely heavy. It was obvious that he had known about this situation for a long time.

Tang Jingtian and Jing Zhonghong also looked unhappy.

"Later on the eighth day of December, there was a round of attacks. Three fire-maned lions broke in, and there were also two ghosts. This time, preparations were made inside the mountain gate, and two purple lions came from Taihua Road. However, because the Fire-Maned Lion and the Oniyuan Mangxi came separately and attacked from different directions, they caused huge casualties. More than thirty people died in total. Seven people died in the two attacks just to build the foundation. , four of them are middle and high-level,..."

Seven foundation builders died, and four of them were mid- to high-level. This situation was quite terrifying.

"Not only Bailing Mountain, but other sects in Sui County were also violently attacked by monsters. Ningyi Prefecture Qianji Sect, the first sect in Sui County, was attacked by monsters three times in a row, and there was another It was the fourth-level demonic beast Baohu, and two Zifus died. One of them was at the high level of Zifu Runpo, and the other was also at the high level of soul condensation. It was so terrible that Qianji Sect was now afraid that it would fall out of the Great Zhao Sect immediately. It’s ten in front of the door.”

Ji Huaijiang's words were filled with lingering fear.

Qianji Sect is the number one sect in Sui County and is much stronger than Guipeng Sect. Although it is not as good as super sects like Taihua Dao, it is the ninth largest sect after several super sects.

But to lose two Zifus at once, the key is that one of them is still at the high level of Runpo. This is at least one of the strongest men in the Thousand Machine Sect, and they are both dead. This kind of loss is almost irreparable and will make the Thousand Machine Sect directly A drop of ten places is possible.

"What's the final outcome of that violent tiger?" Zhao Sitian couldn't help but ask.

"Escaped. It is said that he was severely injured, but he was just a few seconds away from being killed, but he still escaped and fled into the forbidden area of ​​Yushan Mountain." Ji Huaijiang shook his head repeatedly: "The remaining Zifu of Qianji Sect did not dare to go back. Chase inside, fearing that you will be ambushed by other monsters again."

"All the fourth-level monsters have appeared. This is just the news we have learned. We don't know what the situation is in places like Wei County, Si County, and Wan County and Huai County further south?" Tang Jingtian continued: "Go to Winter Have there been any fourth-level monsters here in Hebei? There was a Lihuo Golden Tamarin in Longlinyuan, but it was just fleeting and it didn’t seem to be really cruel. Master Zhu was killed, but there was no other big loss. ,..."
