Chapter 617 Heavy Casualties

The look on Yinxu Zhenren's face dimmed, and he said, "After the monster retreated, I and several other sect leaders counted the overall casualties of the seven major sects. Two Jindan cultivators died and one was seriously injured. The others were fine, but the two junior brothers were too deeply poisoned and could not be saved. Seventy-three foundation-building disciples died and more than ninety were seriously injured, with casualties exceeding one-quarter."

Ziyun Zhenren knew that the two dead were the two Jindan cultivators who were poisoned by the phantom spider before. He was seriously injured. The sixteen Jindan cultivators lost three, and the overall impact was not very large. However, the situation of the foundation-building disciples was more serious. Nearly 10% of them died, and more than 10% were seriously injured and lost their combat effectiveness. It can be said that the damage was heavy.

In fact, the losses of the cultivators were not so great, but in the end, the poison sac of the phantom spider exploded, and many of them did not have time to escape and were affected. Dozens of foundation-building disciples were either dead or seriously injured.

"What about the monster?" Qiyun Zhenren asked again.

When talking about the situation on the monster side, Master Yinxu's mood also improved a little, saying: "The monster side suffered more losses than us. We roughly counted and found that there were nearly 2,000 monster corpses on the ground. The number of injured and escaped was not less than this. The total number of monsters was less than 7,000, which means that less than half of the monsters were intact in the end."

When the monsters retreated just now, they didn't have time to take away the corpses, so they were all left there, but the injured were all dragged away. However, the seriously injured monsters are just like human monks. They will definitely not be able to fully recover in a short period of time, which means they have lost their combat effectiveness.

The monks paid a quarter of the casualties in exchange for more than half of the casualties on the monster side. This battle can be said to be a great victory.

At this time, a smile appeared on the face of Master Yinxu, saying: "More importantly, one of the six high-level monsters died and one was injured. Without the threat of the phantom spider, the other high-level monsters are no match for us. Master Guhong has taken a group of disciples to continue to set up the formation. After the formation is completed, the injured disciples will be arranged in the formation. We can make a concerted effort to completely wipe out all the monsters in Yinfeng Gorge."

After the formation is arranged, everyone will have a temporary foothold in this Yinfeng Gorge. There is no need to worry about the monsters coming to harass. At that time, no matter what we do, we will take the initiative.

The monster retreated and will definitely not come again in a short time. Things still need to be done. The safety and alert issues are temporarily handed over to the Jindan elders. Master Yuchu and several disciples are responsible for treating and caring for the wounded. In addition to those who were seriously injured and unable to move, the other foundation-building disciples were divided into two groups by several masters. One group cooperated with Master Guhong to continue to set up the formation, and the other group was responsible for cleaning up the monster corpses on the ground and collecting useful things for unified distribution.

There were nearly 2,000 corpses of monsters on the ground. Although most of them were low-level monsters of level 1, 2, and 3, the quantity made up for the quality. The total value of so many monster materials was an astronomical figure. A rough estimate was that it could reach nearly 200,000 spirit stones.

However, there were many things and many people to share them. After 700 to 800 people shared them, each person could only get about 100 spirit stones at most, which was not as valuable as the spirit herbs found a few days ago. Of course, the extra ones were distributed to those high-level cultivators. There were leaders of various sects, Jindan elders, and even cultivators in the late stage of foundation building. How could they get as much as ordinary foundation building cultivators?

Qingyang and others were far away from Qiyun Zhenren and Huancai Spider at the beginning. When the colorful poisonous fog drifted over, it was diluted to a level that was almost negligible. In addition, they had taken Sanxing Qingmi Dan in advance, so they were not affected by Huancai Spider at all.

So the five of them were not seriously injured. Only Senior Brother Cai, Nong Zaitian, and Xiong Jianlin had suffered some minor injuries before, but they did not affect their actions. The five people naturally couldn't be idle, and they were all assigned the task of cleaning up and dividing the monsters. After a busy day, it was already a day later.

During this period of time, the whole valley was very peaceful. The monsters seemed to be scared and never came to harass again. Gu Hong Zhenren was also very smooth. Two days later, the formation was completely arranged, and all the people from the seven major immortal gates entered the formation.

Of course, the operation of the formation also consumes spirit stones, and usually requires cultivators to sit and preside over it. However, with this layer of protection, everyone's safety is somewhat guaranteed. At least when meditating to heal injuries or resting, there is no need to worry about the monsters coming to harass at any time.

Since entering Yinfeng Gorge, everyone's spirit has been tense, and then they have experienced a series of fierce battles. Now they can finally relax and have a good rest in the formation.

The formation was activated, and a thin mist rose from the ground. Hundreds of cultivators quickly disappeared in the valley. The number of people did not decrease, but was covered by the formation. Inside the formation, hundreds of disciples sat on the ground, gathered in groups of three or five, some healing their wounds and expelling poison, some meditating to restore their true essence, some counting the remaining supplies and recent harvests, and some simply lying on the ground to take a nap.

Qingyang and Senior Brother Cai and others also sat in a corner, looking at their own collection talismans, Qingyang couldn't help but say: "The spiritual herbs collected a few days ago were barely worth 100 spiritual stones, plus the monster materials that were recently distributed, the total value is less than 200. A three-star clearing pill costs 80 to 90 spiritual stones, and taking into account other expenses, we are a bit of a loss on this mission."

Xiong Jianlin shook his head and said, "What's the loss? It's good enough to save your life. Didn't you see that our leader almost got into trouble? At that time, a trace of poisonous fog entered my body through the wound. If I hadn't bitten the three-star clear miasma pill in advance, I'm afraid my life would be in danger."

Shang Ruhai also echoed, "Yes, no matter how expensive something is, it is used. There is no such thing as value or not. We are lucky that none of us got into trouble this time. Now that the monster's strength has been greatly reduced, it won't take long for it to launch a general attack. The previous losses may be recovered."

Nong Zaitian disagreed and said, "You are too optimistic. There will definitely be a lot of fierce battles. We want to wipe out Yinfeng Gorge. How can those monsters admit defeat so easily? We have to face the crazy counterattack of monsters at any time, so the later it gets, the more dangerous it will be. I don’t ask for anything else, I just hope that I will have better luck during this period and don’t lose my life in this Yinfeng Gorge. "

"Yes, in the previous fierce battle, our Qingfeng Hall lost eleven disciples, and there were twelve or thirteen seriously injured. I have dealt with many of them before, and they are gone. One of them is a senior brother in the late stage of foundation building. Who can guarantee that the five of us can survive to the end? There is no other way, we can only pray for good luck. "Senior Brother Cai said.
