Chapter 955 Heaven Will Give Great Responsibility to This Person
Lie Prajna commanded his army to get back on the road. However, this time, he was fully aware of the horror of the beasts in Lingmen Mountain, so he was as low-key as possible during the march.
He really didn't dare to joke with the lives of his soldiers anymore, and now his power has been greatly reduced. He was afraid that if he continued to be so arrogant, he would not even see the old bandits, and his entire army would be wiped out in this desolate mountain.
"Alas, I didn't expect the beasts in Lingmen Mountain to be so terrifying. If I had known earlier, I... Alas, this time I really lost a lot. If this goes on, Xiaoxian will not look at me differently. But fortunately, Xue Buping was finally killed by me in Lingmen Mountain. As long as I can capture the old bandits in the mountain, I can finally save some, and it won't be too much of a loss!" Lie Prajna thought in his heart.
However, no matter what he had in mind, and how low-key his soldiers were, as he moved forward, the fierce beasts in Lingmen Mountain once again made him realize how powerful they were, and he gradually felt that even if he killed Huan Yin, his trip would still be a loss.
The fierce beasts in Lingmen Mountain were really so numerous that they were outrageous, especially the deeper they went into the mountain, the more exaggerated the number of fierce beasts became. In the end, Lie Prajna felt that even if he took every step, it seemed that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him.
In addition, although Lie Prajna chose to be low-key, and although the size of his troops was far less than before, there were still thousands of people, which was much more ostentatious than the five people in Feipeng Team. Therefore, in many cases, even if they didn't want to provoke the fierce beasts, they couldn't avoid them.
At the same time, as they went deeper into the mountain, the fierceness of the fierce beasts gradually increased. There are more and more fierce beasts in the heavenly cultivation, and there are even many fierce beasts that understand human nature and even know how to calculate. This makes Lie Prajna's march very dangerous.
Lie Prajna really doesn't want to fight with fierce beasts, because this kind of battle seems to have no meaning at all. However, his large army was forced to experience many large and small battles along the way. Moreover, all these battles are very dangerous, and serious ones can even bring devastating impacts to Lie Prajna's troops again.
In the end, Lie Prajna and Yue Xiaoxian could no longer sit still. They were also forced to take out their magic weapons and were forced to fight by fierce beasts. There was even one time when Lie Prajna himself was injured because of the terrifying beast tide attack, and the whole person was no longer majestic.
Lie Prajna began to feel scared. Although he himself didn't know when this emotion grew, the fierceness of the fierce beasts in the mountains really made his fear grow. Lie Prajna even felt that it was fortunate that the beasts in the mountain were all a group of beasts. If they were replaced by a force that could coordinate and cooperate in combat, even if his army expanded tenfold, it would probably be destroyed by the claws of the beasts.
As the fear grew, Lie Prajna began to regret it. He felt that he had made a big mistake to snatch this bandit suppression mission. In the future, he would never dare to take on such unclear missions again.
"Damn, this Lingmen Mountain is too weird. This mission is not a bandit suppression mission at all, but a beast extermination mission. No wonder the troops I sent out before were wiped out here without even a fart. They probably didn't even see the old bandits and died in vain. Alas, it's a pity that I have now gone deep into the mountains. It is impossible to retreat. I can only bite the bullet." At a certain moment, Lie Prajna had just experienced a battle. He walked breathlessly behind the large army and thought very depressed.
Then, he stared at the "large army" in front of him, which had been reduced to less than 3,000 people. Seeing that most of them were still injured, he thought: "This place should be not far from the depths of Lingmen Mountain. I hope I won't encounter any more ferocious beasts and find the old bandits as soon as possible."
"Hey, I don't know if the old bandits here are strong or not. It would be better if they are the kind of soft persimmons that I can squeeze at will. That would also allow me to vent and show my power in front of Xiaoxian."
Yue Xiaoxian had not been by Lie Prajna's side for a long time. They had not even spoken to each other for a long time. Lie Prajna had been hiding in the protection of the large army, but Yue Xiaoxian knew that as a commander, he had to walk in front of the army to observe the situation and make the right decision.
"Report!" Suddenly, a voice came from in front of Lie Prajna, obviously a messenger had military intelligence to report.
Upon hearing this voice, Lie Prajna's first reaction was to pick up the magic weapon in his hand, tense up his whole body, and said: "Is there another beast attacking? Where are they? How many are there? Are they strong?"
Soon, the messenger came to Lie Prajna and said: "Report to the lord, a huge valley was found ahead, and there are people in the valley. It is suspected to be the old bandit's lair."
"What?" Lie Prajna was surprised and happy. He didn't expect that he finally found the target. He was really tired of running around in this mountain. He felt that it was no different from committing suicide.
"Order, the whole army will stop advancing and let the outposts explore again. No, Huang Gou, you go to explore in person. After confirming the situation, report to me!" Lie Prajna quickly issued an order.
Suddenly, the entire army stopped quietly, and the yellow dog led his dogs to rush forward. Not long after, the yellow dog turned around and came to Lie Prajna and bowed: "My lord, there is indeed a valley ahead. There are tiled houses and courtyards everywhere in the valley, and there are roads. People coming and going on the road are all Tiandao monks. According to my judgment, the people in the valley are undoubtedly the old bandits."
Nodding, Lie Prajna said excitedly: "The only ones who have settled in this barren mountain must be the old bandits who are against us. How strong are these old bandits? Are there any super strong ones?"
The yellow dog responded: "My lord, I have measured it with the Qiankun compass. The strongest person in the valley is only in the late stage of the life god, and there is only one person, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Their strength is like an ant compared to a giant elephant compared to the fierce beasts in the mountain."
"So weak?" Lie Prajna was even more surprised, and he even felt it was a bit unrealistic. After all, the old bandits are often extremely powerful, otherwise they would not have survived until now. He had never heard of the old bandits who were only protected by the late-stage cultivators of the God of Life.
However, Lie Prajna knew that the Qiankun Compass, a thing specially developed by the army to measure the strength of the breath in the area, should not be wrong. Because even six or seven Yuantian cultivators could not hide their breath with this thing.
"But, how can they survive in this mountain where fierce beasts are rampant when they are so weak?" Lie Prajna was still a little worried, so she asked.
"My lord, I have seen that the old bandits created a huge formation with a large amount of rotten fragrant stones as the basis, which can isolate all fierce beasts and make it impossible for the valley to be disturbed by fierce beasts at all." Huang Gou said.
"Rotten fragrant stone?" Lie Prajna repeated it subconsciously, and he also knew about this thing.
Rotten fragrant stone is a thing unique to the heaven. It looks like a yellow stone on the outside, but it can emit an extremely strange breath. This kind of breath smells fragrant, but it is full of sour and rotten feeling, so it has the name "rotten fragrant stone".
For cultivators, the rotten incense stone is actually no different from ordinary stones. It cannot be used and will not cause harm. However, there is a very strange thing about the rotten incense stone for all the beasts. That is, all the beasts will feel extremely disgusted and disgusted with the strange smell of the rotten incense stone. As long as it is this kind of stone, if it is not necessary to touch it, the beasts will definitely stay away from it.
Therefore, using rotten incense stone to resist fierce beasts is an extremely effective and wise method. However, rotten incense stones have always been rare, so it is not easy for ordinary cultivators to get two pieces for self-defense.
"This gang of old bandits can actually get so many rotten incense stones, and they can also use rotten incense stones to arrange the beast control formation. Their methods are really good. If I take their rotten incense stones and learn how to arrange the beast control formation from them, then I can walk sideways in Mount Xumi in the future?" When he thought of this, Lie Prajna's eyes gradually began to shine.
Especially when he thought of this encounter, he felt that rotten incense stones and rotten incense stone formations were really necessary for marching. If he had these two things, he would be invincible in the future when he fought in the south and the north and gained military merits.
"Yes, this is a great opportunity given to me by God. The old bandits have some combat techniques and marching skills that our current troops don't know at all, such as this rotten incense stone. As long as I get this technique today, I will be the only one in the active army, and my future will be extremely bright."
"When God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his heart and mind suffer, his muscles and bones tired, and his body hungry. Not bad, not bad, the ferocious beasts I encountered in the mountains before were a revelation from God to me. If it weren't for such a heavy loss, I would not have realized the importance of the rotten incense stone."
"Now, as long as I get the rotten incense stone from the old bandits and get the arrangement method of the formation, everything before seems to be a big loss, but in the long run, I will definitely make a lot of money!"
Thinking of this, Lie Prajna gradually became excited. He said to the messenger beside him, "Pass my order. Keep a low profile and march close to the valley where the old bandits are. Finally, form an encirclement. Don't let any of the old bandits escape!"
