Chapter 194 The Final Merger
On the tenth day after entering the chess sea, more than a hundred monks gathered on the chess island, and the huge chess island could no longer be seen at a glance.
On the fifteenth day, the number of people once expanded to two hundred.
The reason for such an explosive growth is mainly because the number of living Haotian League monks in each batch is not small, ranging from a dozen to thirty or forty.
As the number of people increases, the strength of our side also increases greatly.
But correspondingly, the battle has become more intense. The number of our side is gathering, and the number of people on the Wanmo Ridge is also gathering. The small-scale battles between a few people at the beginning are completely gone. Now the battle has started, and the sky is full of magic and flying weapons.
According to the information Lu Ye has now, the merger between chess islands generally lasts about eighteen to twenty days. During this period, the chess islands scattered throughout the chess sea will slowly gather into a huge state land.
When this state land is formed, some rare genius treasures from the outside world will appear, and the source may be those chess islands that no one has set foot on.
After the state land is formed, it will last for about ten days, and then it will break up again and turn into countless chess islands. At that time, the Lingxi defense war will end, and the living monks will be sent back to their respective sects.
Now fifteen days have passed. In a few days, the merger of the chess islands will come to an end. Once the state land is formed, the confrontation between the monks of the two camps will become more intense, because now everyone can only wait passively, but after the chess islands are merged, they can take the initiative to attack.
The preparations for Wanmo Ridge will also really play a role at that moment.
These days, news from all sides has been transmitted and exchanged, and bad news has come from time to time. Some chess islands occupied by Haotian League monks have been captured and killed.
Once too many Haotian League monks in the periphery are killed and injured, then after the state land is formed, Wanmo Ridge can use its advantage in numbers to sweep out the Haotian League. If there is enough time to search, they can even kill the Haotian League without leaving a single one.
The situation in the periphery is not optimistic, and the situation in the inner circle is even less optimistic.
At least the outer circle still had the two people of the Bixue Sect as the core to support the stage, but the inner circle cultivators were not so lucky. When they fought, no one helped them weaken the enemy's strength. When they were injured, no one helped them heal their wounds. They could only rely on swallowing elixirs or meditating to regulate their breath because they consumed too much energy.
After a series of fierce battles, even those eighth- and ninth-level cultivators who practiced heaven-level techniques suffered many casualties.
Two days later, the number of cultivators on the island increased again, reaching as many as 300 people. There were as many as 70 Haotian League members on the small island that had been merged before.
After learning that this was the Qi Island where the Bixue Sect cultivators were located, the more than 70 people were all overjoyed, as if they had found their mother's home, and they even ran over to get familiar with Lu Ye and Hua Ci.
With a lineup of more than 300 people, their side was unprecedentedly strong. Everyone was eagerly waiting for Qi Island to complete the final merger, because only in this way could the other Haotian League cultivators who had not joined the island take the initiative to move closer to this side and have a glimmer of hope.
The day they had been waiting for finally arrived.
When the chess island shook violently and suddenly accelerated in one direction, the expressions of all the monks on the chess island became solemn, and everyone realized that the final merger had come.
At this moment, on the entire chess sea, the chess islands that were originally difficult to calculate have merged into huge islands. These islands are now being pulled by some force and drifting in one direction. Halfway through, some islands began to merge and attach to each other, becoming larger islands.
Some islands have people on them, and some islands have no people on them. Those uninhabited islands are very small in scale, as if they have never experienced a merger, but without exception, those uninhabited islands contain some precious natural treasures, and some things are even unique to the chess sea.
And somewhere on the chess island, there is also an island, which is not small in scale. There is a fruit tree growing on the highest point of the island. Nine palm-sized blue flowers grow on the fruit tree. Even ten miles away, you can smell the fragrance of flowers in the air.
The visible spiritual energy of heaven and earth turned into a vortex and gathered towards the nine blue flowers, and the blue flowers were also changing rapidly. Under the flower stalks, fruits began to grow.
It is foreseeable that such a fruit tree will inevitably attract the competition of the strong men from both camps, and a war is bound to break out here.
Before the chess island was completely merged, Lu Ye's side had already started fighting, because on the way to the merger, a nearby chess island attached itself to it, and at the same time, there were two chess islands, one on the left and one on the right, which just sandwiched Lu Ye and others' chess island in the middle.
There were hundreds of people gathered on each of the two chess islands. Before Lu Ye and others could find out which camp the two sides were from, the cultivators on the left and right had already rushed over.
Both sides were from Wanmo Ridge. They contacted each other. After communicating, they concluded that the one sandwiched in the middle was from Haotian League, so how could they be polite.
When the cultivators on their side saw that there was such a good thing, they were immediately full of energy.
Since the number of their own people exceeded 100, every battle was initiated by their own side.
There is no other way. With so many people, the enemy can no longer attack rashly. Even the best actors cannot lure the enemy into the depths. The enemy only needs to send a few people to investigate here to know that something is wrong.
When taking the initiative to attack, even if Hua Ci is there to scout, there will inevitably be some casualties. The cultivators of Wanmo Ridge are not soft persimmons that can be easily squeezed. They are experienced in battles just like the people of Haotian League, and they are never afraid of death.
It had been many days, and no one dared to attack, which made the large number of means that Hua Ci had arranged before useless.
So even if they were attacked from both sides, they were not panicked at all, and even had a little expectation. Everyone's expression was eager to try, and their spiritual power was secretly urged.
There were more wolves than meat, and this was the time to compete with eyesight and hand speed. Killing the enemy's garrison not only had merits, but also took away the blessing of the opponent's Tianji Pillar. But if you kill the deputy envoy, you only had merits, and the difference was huge.
The monks of Wanmo Ridge on both sides cooperated very well and were full of momentum. On the other hand, their own lineup stood in twos and threes, and there was no special formation, which seemed to be a mob.
As usual, the flowing light of magic and the imperial weapon began to collide and clash. After this fight, the people of Wanmo Ridge on both sides found that something was wrong.
There were too many people in Haotian League here!
The two sides combined were not as many as them, but the battle had already begun. At this moment, there was no room for retreat, and they could only grit their teeth and persist.
Fortunately, they soon discovered that the Haotian League did not have a unified dispatch and command, so even though they had an advantage in numbers, they did not have the upper hand on the scene.
This made the Wanmo Ridge side feel relieved and attacked more vigorously.
What they did not know was that most of the attention of the 300 cultivators of the Haotian League was focused on a woman with a gentle temperament, which was why they did not seem to have much fighting power.
This woman was called Hua Ci!
The number of people responsible for protecting Hua Ci had increased to five, one physical cultivator, one soldier cultivator, one magic cultivator, one ghost cultivator, and one Yanshi, who was Lu Yushan's junior sister.
As Hua Ci raised her jade hand, the magic spell changed, and the emerald green halo swept across.
More than 300 people in the Haotian League seemed to have received some instructions, and the offensive intensified instantly!
Along with the bursts of exclamations from both sides, a large area of the light of the imperial weapon in the sky was broken! The light of their own imperial weapon blasted into the enemy camp, and the physical cultivators and soldier cultivators blocking the front were bleeding, and more than a dozen died on the spot.
"The Thunder Dragon Roars!" The thin Lu Yushan shouted with great momentum. A strong beam of light burst out from the spiritual weapon in his hand and blasted into the enemy group. I don't know how many he killed, but his expression suddenly became happy.
"Kill!" Gao Tai roared, and was the first to kill again. The large shield spiritual weapon in his hand held up a barrier, and he ran away with big strides against the attacks of the other cultivators.
Behind him, one soldier cultivator after another rushed forward like a jackal, with a terrifying momentum, and only two red lights were floating in their eyes.
Lu Ye also followed behind him, not leaving his side.
After a while, Gao Tai collided with the other party's body cultivator, as if two boulders collided, and the shield spiritual weapon made a loud bang, and the spiritual light was dense.
They both took a few steps back, and this time they were evenly matched.
But Gao Tai was laughing, because while he was retreating, the soldier cultivators who were rushing after him had already dodged left and right.
The burly physical cultivator on the other side turned terrified. Although he frantically urged his spiritual power and the power of spiritual weapons, when the soldiers passed by him, he still bleed a few streaks of blood and then knelt on the ground.
On the side of Wanmo Ridge, the physical cultivators standing in the front row all had similar experiences.
The protection system of the physical cultivators in the front row had been breached, and the rest was a feast of killing.
Lu Ye had just rushed to a panicked magic cultivator when a stream of light from the imperial weapon attacked from the side, poking a big hole in the magic cultivator's head!
Lu Ye immediately retracted the long sword he had swung out.
This is a common thing. In these few battles, although the battles were lively, there were not many real gains. Now that there are more people on his side, there are people who get nothing in every battle.
He immediately set his sights on the next target, which was a soldier cultivator who was fleeing to the rear. He raised his hand and cast a fire phoenix technique, hitting the man who staggered and his back was burnt. Then he rushed up and killed him with his hand raised and the sword fell.
Seeing two red lights falling on the back of his hand, Lu Ye let out a long sigh. In this situation, it is really not easy to grab a head.
The defeat was like a landslide. When the Wanmo Ridge side fled, countless corpses were buried along the way. The remaining dozen people were chased to the seaside. Seeing that they had nowhere to go, they jumped into the sea one after another.
A large number of inexplicable shadows surged from the sea and drowned these people.
"No!" A Haotian League monk stretched out his hand and knelt on the ground with a plop, his eyes red and his face full of sorrow.
If someone who didn't know the situation saw it, he would probably think that the people who jumped into the sea were his relatives.
"Why... why would you rather commit suicide than let me kill you?"
Fuck him, another battle without any gain!
