Chapter 223: Diverting the Trouble to the East

The strength of the Zerg can be roughly seen by looking at their body size. Those Zerg the size of a fist pose no threat to the monks. Those as big as a basin are roughly equivalent to the monks of the second or third level. Those as long as a person should be dealt with carefully, because they are most likely to be the sixth or seventh level Zerg.

Half a day after Lu Ye asked his disciples to retreat, the valley below was densely crawling with Zerg, including those as long as a person.

The monks were secretly shocked and were all glad that they had not gone deep into the wormhole before.

The average strength of the Zerg here is more than one level stronger than that of the Bixue Sect. If they had rashly gone deep into the wormhole before, there would definitely be a lot of casualties.

This is just the situation in the worm valley. The situation in the worm nest must be more serious. There must be no shortage of eighth-level Zerg there, and there may even be ninth-level Zerg.

Lu Ye gave Hua Ci a few instructions, summoned Amber, and climbed onto the tiger's back.

Under the gaze of many monks, he rode Amber and rumbled into the valley.

When the distance was enough, he raised his hand and cast a fire phoenix spell, which blasted into the insect swarm. The spiritual power exploded, and several insects were hit and rolled.

The insects were very sensitive to the fluctuation of spiritual power, so after Lu Ye cast a spell, a large number of insects immediately rushed towards him. The rustling and crawling noises were so dense that people's scalps numbed.

Amber roared and carried Lu Ye around the outside of the insect valley. As Lu Ye cast a spell, the number of insects following behind him increased, and there were spider-like insects spitting spider silk at them.

Standing on the mountain peak and looking down, a group of monks from the Blue Blood Sect were all worried about Lu Ye. From their perspective, Lu Ye rode Amber and rushed down alone, provoking countless insects, which attracted a large number of insects to chase him.

No one knew why Lu Ye did this.

After an incense stick, Lu Ye circled the valley. Most of the insects in the valley were alarmed and chased him closely. Those who didn't chase him were also ready to move.

There is a very wonderful induction between Zergs, which allows them to communicate in a certain range in a special way that only Zergs can understand.

So in general, provoking one Zerg is equivalent to provoking a group.

If you provoke a group, it is basically equivalent to provoking all Zergs.

Countless Zergs crawled and chased, and were led to the north by Lu Ye, but the valley did not become empty because of the departure of the Zerg swarm, because Zergs continued to crawl out of the wormhole and join the pursuit.

Looking down from the sky, a long dragon of Zergs gathered behind Lu Ye, directly connected to the location of the wormhole.

"It's possible." Hua Ci was stunned.

When Lu Ye told her about the plan just now, Hua Ci always felt that it was not very reliable. Zergs had no reason and would only act according to instinct. But now it seems that it is precisely because of the lack of reason that it is easy to control.

She calmed down and, according to Lu Ye's previous instructions, led hundreds of monks from the Bixue Sect to the north. Ten miles away from here was the Tiansha Palace's garrison!

In the garrison, the deputy garrison envoy Cheng Bo and a group of Tiansha Palace monks who stayed behind were still immersed in the atmosphere of sadness and anger. No one expected that a disaster was approaching them with a rumble, and this disaster was the great gift sent by Lu Yiye, who Cheng Bo had been thinking about.

At this moment, Cheng Bo was using his mark to communicate with the sect and report the situation in the garrison to the high-level leaders of the sect. When he learned that the losses here were so heavy, an elder vomited blood on the spot and fell to the ground.

The losses were too great. Nearly 500 monks were wiped out in the wormhole. This had never happened before.

Just when more than 100 monks who stayed behind in the Tiansha Palace were immersed in the atmosphere of sadness and couldn't extricate themselves, a loud bang suddenly came out, followed by the sound of chaotic spiritual power.

Cheng Bo looked up suddenly, stunned for a moment, then reacted and became furious: "How dare you!"

I don't know who is attacking the defense formation of the garrison.

He was filled with grief and indignation. Although the Tiansha Palace was only an eighth-grade sect, it had been established for decades and had never suffered such a great humiliation in all these years. Now that hundreds of monks in the garrison had just died, someone came to attack the formation. Did they really think that the Tiansha Palace was a soft persimmon that could be easily squeezed?

He flashed out, followed by a large group of monks with angry expressions.

Looking up, he immediately saw a figure flying in the sky, with a pair of fiery red spiritual wings flapping behind him.

"Who is coming?" Cheng Bo shouted angrily.

His shout seemed to scare the person who came. The fiery red wings waved and quickly went away, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

"Too much bullying!" Cheng Bo was furious, and he didn't quite understand what the man meant.

"Master... Senior Brother!" A cultivator behind him suddenly trembled in his voice, pointing forward with a horrified face: "Zerg, Zerg tide!"

Cheng Bo also found something wrong at this time. In his field of vision, a large number of Zerg were swarming towards this side. Those Zerg were densely packed and arranged in a long dragon, winding from the direction of the Zerg Valley, and there was no end in sight.

Cheng Bo's face suddenly turned pale, and he finally realized what had happened.

It is impossible for the Zerg to kill the station so quickly. Under normal circumstances, the Zerg tide radiates and spreads around with the Zerg Valley as the center. For the Zerg without intelligence, their actions have no clear purpose and will devour all the vitality and energy they encounter along the way.

But what if someone deliberately led them here?

"The thieves of the Bixue Sect!" Cheng Bo was so angry that he had nowhere to vent. It felt terrible. Even if the people of the Bixue Sect really came to attack their base, Cheng Bo would not be so angry.

As different camps, it was natural for you to hit me and I to hit you.

But what did the thieves of the Bixue Sect do? They first ambushed at the entrance of the wormhole, causing the annihilation of hundreds of disciples led by He Meng, the garrison envoy, and then turned around and led the worm tide to their own base. Is this what a human would do?

Since Cheng Bo started practicing, he has never met such a vicious person. Such a person's internal organs are probably black.

"Brother, what should we do?"

The cultivators of the Tiansha Palace were panicked. The people who attacked the formation just now had left, but the Zerg did not leave. At this moment, they were rushing outside the formation, gnawing at the flowing spiritual power of the formation.

For the Zerg, the surge of spiritual power in this protective formation was extremely attractive.

There is no need to worry for the moment, because there are not many Zergs coming, but just looking at the long dragon that you can't see the end at a glance, you can tell that as time goes by, more and more Zergs will come.

"The guards will fully activate the power of the protective formation, and the others will follow me to kill the enemy!" Cheng Bo immediately issued an order.

The protective formation will always be turned on, because the spiritual power of the Lingxi battlefield is very rich, so the formations generally arranged in the garrison can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to maintain their own operation, without additional consumption. The better protective formations can even store excess spiritual power for later use.

Under normal conditions, the protective formation only maintains the lowest level of consumption. Only when attacked will it be fully activated, and some spiritual stones will be consumed at this time.

Many sects have more than one set of protective formations in their garrisons. The wealthy sects will arrange several sets, which are connected in a ring. In this way, if a set of formations is broken, the next set of formations will come into play.

However, the outer circle sects generally have only one set of formations, because the formation that can cover a garrison is very expensive, and the outer circle sects do not have such great financial resources.

Besides, it is useless to arrange too much.

The strength of the cultivators in the outer circle is generally low, and it is rare for a sect's garrison to be breached. The reason why the last time Xuanmen attacked the Jiuxing Sect's garrison was so noisy and spread far and wide was because this kind of thing was rare.

At this moment, the Tiansha Palace garrison was facing an unprecedented crisis. It was not the cultivators who came to attack the garrison, but the insect tide, which had never happened before.

Even if there were only about a hundred cultivators left in the sect, Cheng Bo could not abandon the garrison. This was his responsibility as the deputy envoy of the garrison. He could lose his life, but not the garrison!

Clear and accurate orders were issued, and the power of the protective formation was activated. Just as Cheng Bo was about to lead the remaining disciples to kill the enemy, a chaotic spiritual power fluctuation suddenly came from the back of the garrison.

Cheng Bo was startled and quickly asked the disciples to kill the enemy here, and he led a few people to investigate.

Soon, several Tiansha Palace monks led by Cheng Bo looked forward with fear. Outside the protective formation, there were dense figures, and no one knew where they came from. Those people were using magic and spiritual weapons to desperately attack the protective formation, and ripples passed through the light curtain of the formation.

There was a swarm of insects in front and hundreds of monks attacking from behind. Cheng Bo felt a darkness in front of his eyes and almost fainted on the ground.

He swayed for a while and was supported by a junior brother beside him. He waved his hand fiercely and shouted angrily: "Lu Yiye, get out!"

Although he didn't know any of the monks here, he could conclude that these people must be from the Green Blood Sect!

As soon as the swarm of insects was led over, hundreds of monks here started to take action. Who would believe that this was not premeditated?

It was not until this moment that he realized that he had underestimated the ruthlessness of the Green Blood Sect.

Hundreds of their own monks were trapped in the wormhole, resulting in the annihilation of the army, but the Bixue Sect was not satisfied. They wanted to capture the station, because capturing the station was an irresistible temptation for any sect.

The station might not be saved, and Cheng Bo was clearly aware of this. If he dealt with the insect tide or the attack of the Bixue Sect alone, he might be able to think of a way, but no one could stand being attacked from both sides like this.

The front was dark, and the future was dark...

"Bixue Sect, you are taking advantage of others' misfortune, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?" A monk from the Tiansha Hall roared in grief and anger.

Immediately, a Bixue Sect monk responded: "Why didn't you say anything about being struck by lightning when you bullied us before? Just stand there obediently, and wait until the formation is broken, and I will give you a quick death!"
