Chapter 601: Returning Together and Grinding Bones

Hearing "Tonggui Ridge", Li Yan was stunned. He knew that this area should be a sub-mountain range of Fengliang Mountain, and there should be no other name. Moreover, why does this name sound so unlucky?

He and Bai Rou's Ninth Team had done missions nearby before, and they were familiar with the terrain of this area.

At the same time, some people in Gongyuantai behind him suddenly trembled, and their expressions were a little nervous.

All this fell into the eyes of the thin monk and the plump female monk. The two looked at each other, and this time it was the plump female monk who spoke.

"I have heard that the 16th team of the 'Green Bat Camp' fought in the 'Gonggu Mountain' not far away for half a month. It seems that some people are left. In this case, we don't need to introduce the situation of 'Tonggui Ridge' and its importance later."

When she said the last few words "importance", anyone could hear the resentment in her tone.

Before Li Yan and the others could think, the slender monk immediately said, "This is the compass and the control formula for the 'Yin Yang Boundary River Formation' outside this mountain. Please take it, Fellow Daoist Li."

As he said this, he stretched out his hand and handed the bronze compass he had been holding, along with an extra white jade slip, to Li Yan.

After handing the things to Li Yan, "There are ten caves here. The one we are in now is the largest cave in this mountain. In fact, it is also the place where the combat-capable monks gather.

The time of the demon cultivator's attack is erratic. If the monks are scattered, it is not easy to command, so it is more convenient to gather here.

The other eight cave entrances we saw outside just now can accommodate at least fifty people in each cave. They are all for the seriously injured monks who did not have time to retreat to the rear to meditate and heal their wounds.

As for the last cave, it is deep behind this cave and belongs to The cave in the cave is the core mechanism and spiritual stone storage place of the ‘Yin Yang Boundary River Formation’ of this mountain.

There are nine monks guarding there every day. They need to use their spiritual consciousness and magic power to control the formation from time to time, and keep the spiritual stones of the formation in normal supply. There are detailed records of the use of spiritual stones there. I will take Fellow Daoist Li to check it later...”

Soon, Li Yan knew the situation of “Tonggui Ridge”. The second team of “Zhongfeng Camp” is stationed here. The thin monk surnamed Fang is the captain here, and the plump female monk surnamed Yang is the deputy captain of the second team.

The current number of people in “Zhongfeng Camp” is 56, of which 17 are seriously injured and the remaining 39. “Tonggui Ridge” is the most forward position to Fengliang Mountain, and its two sides behind it are horizontally spread out like “wings”.

The other monks stationed in Fengliang Mountain fight the enemy on the six peaks on the two sides in turn. Going to the east and west, it belongs to the defense range of the other two defense points. For example, the place where the Qing Sixteenth Team defended the enemy before was on the “wings” on one side.

"Tonggui Ridge" is a huge advantage for Fengliang Mountain due to its special geographical location. Its overall impact on the demon army coming to Fan is a cone-shaped penetration.

This is also the most important main attack direction of the demon army. If the demon army stops all the way north, it will undoubtedly leave a nail in their heart, which will explode their core at any time.

In this way, taking "Tonggui Ridge" becomes the first task of the demon army, so the battle here is extremely fierce, and it is almost lost many times. Every day here is ground down by the cultivators with blood and flesh.

In just one month, Li Yan and his team are the third batch of cultivators sent to replace the guard.

At first, Li Yan was relieved to hear this. It sounds like this is not as big as the casualties of the Qing Sixteenth Team before. The Qing Sixteenth Team had a casualty rate of more than 70% in half a month. Although the price was heavy, it was much less than the casualties here.

When the cultivator surnamed Fang saw Li Yan's expression, he immediately added a smile.

"We have been here for half a month. The second team has been replenished with monks on the battlefield four times, and each time it was replenished to 100 people.

Now there are only six monks in the second team of the first batch of 'Heavy Front Camp', and the rest are monks who survived the previous replenishments.

In addition, the first captain was also a monk from the Wuliang Sect. He died in battle five days ago. I was temporarily appointed as the captain, but my qualifications are obviously not enough, so Fellow Daoist Yang is the deputy captain to fight the enemy together."

After hearing the calm and unperturbed words of the monk surnamed Fang, not only Li Yan was shocked, but also the old monks of the Qing 16th team behind him, except for the faces of the old monks who kept twitching, the rest of the people took a breath of cold air, and many monks looked embarrassed.

In this way, at least 200 to 300 monks died here in half a month. Isn't there a probability of death of about 15 people every day? How many days can they withstand such consumption of 100 people here?

Some monks had already lost their composure, their eyes began to wander, looking around, either to confirm the truth of what Fang said, or to find a way to save their lives, or even to escape.

Li Yan himself was silent for a while, thinking about the situation he was about to face.

Seeing the expressions of Li Yan and the others, monk Fang tiredly glanced at his companions in the cave who had been through life and death with him, pulled the corners of his mouth, and showed a smile that could be considered a smile.

"You came at the right time today, at least you didn't catch up with the demons' attack, this may be the best farewell for us.

We have been beaten and our morale is so low that we can't fight anymore. This is also the main reason why the higher-ups sent you to take over the defense, just like when we came to take over the defense.

Come to think of it, has Fellow Daoist Li felt any different atmosphere here since he came here? "

"Death, numbness!"

Li Yan's thoughts were interrupted

, but quickly said softly that everyone he met when he came here seemed to be indifferent to everything around him.

He doesn't care about his own image, doesn't care about himself in the eyes of others, and also doesn't care about how others feel. His expression is sluggish, his body exudes a strong sense of death, and he ignores everything around him and life.

The monk surnamed Fang sighed heavily.

"Yes, there is death and depression. Everyone here has to face death every day. Watching the companions around us fall and disappear one by one, there is nothing we can do.

We can only do our best to preserve ourselves and survive as long as possible.

Then he continued to kill and be killed, roaring at the top of his lungs, blood kept flying up, throwing up, and then spilling, consuming all his mana, trying to kill those damn enemies, trying hard to ensure that he would not die.

Later, every attack was like a puppet, just attacking numbly until one party fell dead. The last time it was the other party, and the next time it might be you.

Hahaha, the seniors finally sent someone to change the defense, otherwise we really don’t know how long we can last! "

The monk surnamed Fang smiled softly in his deep tiredness, but everyone could hear the deep boredom and helplessness in his laughter.

Next, there was another period of silence.

After that, the monk surnamed Fang took Li Yan alone to the core office of the "Yin Yang Boundary River Formation" and took out all the jade slips recording the consumption of spiritual stones.

At this time, the handover between the two parties was roughly completed. Then, after a moment of reflection, the monk surnamed Fang personally told Li Yan about the important places in the "Yin-Yang Boundary River Formation".

For example, the yin and yang inversion between the gates of death and the gates of life in various places, the directions where the enemy attacks most often, etc. This at least allowed Li Yan to save a lot of time to understand the mountain formation.

Regarding this, Li Yan also felt that the monk surnamed Fang was very responsible, which added to his good sense.

When Li Yan and the others stood on the simple platform again, Li Yan saw all the monks in the second team of the "Chongfeng Camp", including some unconscious monks who had been covered with flying magic weapons.

There were fifty-six people left in the second team of the "Chongfeng Camp". When they left here, Li Yan saw the tears in many people's eyes from their dull expressions, and the eyes that swept over and over to all parts of the mountain and every corner. Divine consciousness.

These people still did not say goodbye to Li Yan and the others. Only the monk surnamed Fang and the female cultivator surnamed Yang said goodbye gently, and after Li Yan activated the formation, they led everyone away through the air.

Just before leaving, the monk surnamed Fang sent a message into Li Yan's sea of ​​consciousness: "Friend Li, you need to be careful of premeditated attacks by the demons. Their attacks in the past two days have been much less intense than in the past few days.

However, the attack range is spread wider. I find that their attacks always seem to be testing something.

The ultimate defensive strength of our formation? Or the actual number of defensive monks in Tonggui Ridge?

It’s unknown! I have a feeling that the demons are brewing a big attack. It was very strange like today. There was no movement from the other party for three hours. "

At this point, the voice suddenly stopped in Li Yan's heart, and the monk surnamed Fang had already left with his group.

Li Yan's eyes were shining brightly, and others didn't know what Li Yan was thinking after watching the second team of "Chongfeng Camp" leave.

From the faces of the second team of the "Chongfeng Camp", they did not see the joy caused by leaving just now, but they were still more indifferent.

Maybe somewhere here once lay their classmates, their partners, and their own memories.

In fact, many people understand that not long after the incident, when the second team of the "Chongfeng Battalion" regains its combat strength, the vast majority of them will still be sent to the front to fight the demon army again.

Death may be a matter of time, and many people may have lost hope of so-called immortality.

Li Yan flicked the compass in his hand again, and the "Yin Yang Boundary River Formation" restriction was opened again.

He still looked at the sky and did not look back. Everyone behind him was silent, including the always good-hearted Bro. After experiencing a short period of contact with the second team of the "Chongfeng Battalion", they all realized that something was wrong.

"Do you know why this place is called 'Tonggui Ridge'? Several of the peaks we defended were originally nameless, but now they all have their own names."

Gong Yuantai's voice came. He spoke not loudly, but there were all monks here. Everyone heard it. Many people's bodies were slightly shaken and they looked at Gong Yuantai.

"The place where we were stationed before is already like hell. We call it 'Mountain of Bone Grinding'. Every day, I don't know how many monks' flesh and bones are ground away, leaving no trace left.

Crushing bones and flying away, the most vicious spell in the mortal world, is where we stay every day.

We have heard about this 'Tonggui Ridge' for a long time, and its level of bloodshed is far from comparable to that of 'Mogu Mountain'. The monks coming up from both sides basically did not survive, as if they were dying together with the enemy all the time.

Unexpectedly, I, Gong Yuantai, would be so lucky in this life to participate in two dangerous places to confront the enemy and fight against the demons, and this time I came to the frontier among the frontiers. "

There was calmness in Gong Yuantai's voice, and he suddenly lost the previous emotion, as if he had accepted his fate.

His words made all the old members of the original Qing 16th team have complicated expressions, with pain, memories, fear, and indifference.

Li Yan stood in front, and he did not stop Gong Yuantai's words. Gong Yuantai's words could make a team lose confidence.

But Li Yan just stood in front, his eyes narrowed into a slit, listening quietly, letting it go, without stopping.
