Chapter 603: Valley Array

However, the disciples of the Forging Spirit Pavilion were not pushovers. After they adapted, they gradually gained a firm foothold. After all, the number of monsters was relatively small. There were less than ten monsters above the fourth level, while there were hundreds of foundation-building cultivators in the Forging Spirit Pavilion alone. The power difference was too great.

When the head of the Forging Spirit Pavilion, Chimu Zhenren, and another Jindan elder arrived and killed the leading monster, the other monsters collapsed immediately when they saw the situation was not good, and turned around and ran away. After all, the monsters were more familiar with Yinfeng Gorge, and finally more than a dozen escaped.

This battle started and ended quickly, and it did not have much impact on the human cultivators. The injuries of the injured were not serious, and they could recover after a little recuperation.

Everyone judged that this should be a test of the Yinfeng Gorge monsters to them, to weigh the strength of the human cultivators, so as to arrange the next action in a targeted manner.

After this incident, the impact of the phantom spider gradually faded. Compared with the huge number of other monsters, the phantom spider is a rare poisonous creature that is not normal. Just be careful. Everyone should focus on dealing with other monsters.

As time went by, the monks gradually entered the depths of Yinfeng Gorge. Even if they only walked two or three hundred miles a day, they would have walked more than a thousand miles in five or six days. In addition to the distance before encountering the phantom spider, they were getting closer and closer to the location where they were going to set up a stronghold.

The monsters seemed to be unable to sit still, and the tests they launched became more and more frequent. They could be encountered almost every day. However, small-scale tests had little effect on the seven major immortal gates, but would damage the strength of the monsters. The monsters seemed to have noticed this. In the past one or two days, they did not send monsters to attack again. Perhaps they were planning some major action.

The monks did not care about these. Now the situation was in their favor. The large army pushed forward like this. The seven major immortal gates united, and the monsters did not dare to face them head-on. Of course, it's not possible to keep doing this. We have to guard against the sudden attack of monsters, observe the hidden phantom spiders, and deal with the erosion of the cold wind. No one can stand it for a long time.

At this time, everyone realized that the appearance of the phantom spider might be intentional by the monster, the purpose is to put pressure on human monks and make everyone unable to relax for a moment. This is a kind of strategy. It seems that the intelligence of those monsters should not be underestimated.

After more than half a day, everyone finally came to the location where the monks' base was set up as mentioned by Gu Hong Zhenren. Standing on it and looking forward, it is better to say that it is a not too deep basin than a valley in front. The whole valley is dozens of miles in radius and you can't see the edge at a glance.

The terrain in the valley is relatively flat, there are almost no tall trees, and the vision is wide. It is not only suitable for setting up a monk's base, but also suitable as the main battlefield between monks and monsters. It seems that Gu Hong Zhenren chose this place and put a lot of effort.

They have walked two-thirds of the entire Yinfeng Gorge, and the remaining distance is less than a thousand miles. If the monster's lair is deep in the Yinfeng Gorge, it should be only a few hundred miles away from here. If the monks set up a base here, the monsters will definitely be restless.

Several heads walked around the valley and quickly selected the place to set up the formation. Then all the disciples were divided into two groups. One group set up the formation under the leadership of Guhong Zhenren, and the other group was on guard outside to be responsible for everyone's safety.

This kind of mountain protection formation is extremely troublesome to set up and cannot be completed in a short time. The monsters will definitely not tolerate the monks setting up a base here. They may launch a surprise attack on the monks at any time. This kind of surprise attack is not the kind of tentative harassment in the past. It is very likely to become a decisive battle between monsters and monks. It is necessary to make full preparations in advance to avoid being caught off guard.

The disciples of Qingfeng Hall have not studied much about the formation, and they have been assigned the task of safety and alert. They are in groups of three or five and guard outside the range of the formation. This valley has a wide field of vision. If the monsters really launch an attack, they can be seen at a glance. It is called alert, but in fact, when the monsters are found to be attacking, they need to rush up to block them as soon as possible, giving some preparation time to the group of people led by Gu Hong Zhenren, so as not to let the monsters destroy the formation. The task is still very easy.

Perhaps the human monks came too suddenly and the monsters were caught off guard, or perhaps the monsters did not get the news that the monks set up the formation, or perhaps the monsters were not ready for battle. Two days passed in a blink of an eye. Under the leadership of Gu Hong Zhenren, the formation arrangement has been completed for the most part, but no monsters came to harass, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

However, this is a good thing. It only takes two more days to complete the formation. In the future, everyone will have a stable rear area, which can be used for attack and defense. Injured disciples can heal in the formation, and disciples with insufficient true essence can retreat into the formation to repair. If the monsters are powerful, they can also take shelter in the formation for a while, which is almost invincible.

Qingyang was still in a group with Senior Brother Cai, Shang Ruhai and others, responsible for an area of ​​two or three miles on the left side of the formation. The area was not large, but the field of vision was very wide. There was no need to walk back and forth, just standing in the middle, and you could see everything around.

This kind of place was not suitable for cultivation, so the few of them chatted from time to time. Senior Brother Cai said, "This mission is not easy. The cold wind in the cold wind gorge consumes too much of my true essence. I need to spend several hours every day meditating and refining qi to replenish my true essence, otherwise my true essence will be exhausted, and then I will have to use my true essence."

Nong Zaitian echoed, "Yes, in this Yinfeng Gorge, we can only exert 70% to 80% of our strength, and we can't fight at all. With my third-level foundation building, I will feel exhausted when dealing with fourth-level monsters. If I encounter a large number of monsters besieging me, I am afraid it will be dangerous."

Hearing the two talking about this mission, Xiong Jianlin seemed to remember the horror of the phantom spiders, and shuddered, saying, "Ordinary monsters are okay, but I am worried about those phantom spiders. I only brought some miscellaneous detoxification pills this time, and the effect is very poor. Let alone the seventh-level and fourth-level phantom spiders, I am afraid that the second- and third-level phantom spiders can also poison me."

Shang Ruhai also said, "Like you, I only brought a few inferior detoxification pills. If I had known that this mission was so dangerous, I would have found an excuse to turn it down."

"I did make some preparations before, and I still have a few three-star Qingmi Pills on me. Do you need any?" Qingyang said. The main purpose of refining the Three-Star Qingmi Pill was to save Boss Hu and to have an extra guarantee for myself. I didn't expect that there really was a Colorful Spider in the Yinfeng Gorge. Anyway, I couldn't use up all six Three-Star Qingmi Pills, so I might as well give a few to my friends.
