Chapter 49: Conquering Ruojun Mountain
"Have you recovered from the injuries you have suffered over the years?" Li Derong asked calmly, still indifferent.
Wang Hao smiled and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Fairy Li. It was just a flesh wound last time, and I have recovered almost completely in Qingyuan Market!"
"Well, that's good," Li Derong said little. He only asked a question and returned to the Li family. Wang Hao had nothing to say. He arranged the Li family, persuaded them to drink several times, and left.
The Wang and Li families rested for three days and decided to take action.
The tactics were also simple. In order to avoid being besieged by a large number of first-level monsters, everyone decided to eliminate some low-level long-armed monkeys first. For efficiency, they decided to split into teams and secretly hunt down the long-armed monkeys that were alone.
Wang Hao also brought a team of people, including Wang Wenzhi, Wang Wenmei and others who were familiar with him.
The long-armed monkeys have occupied Ruojun Mountain for more than two hundred years, and their IQ is not low, so they are not easy to deal with. Fortunately, he still has the help of the map in his mind. Even if it only shows the range of five miles ahead, it is enough to deal with low-level monsters.
Wang Hao used a branch to draw a map of the nearby terrain on the ground, and said to several people:
"The number of long-armed monkeys is huge, and they are not weak. It is unwise to fight head-on. If you are not careful, you will attract other long-armed monkeys."
"But their wisdom is limited after all, far inferior to us humans. We can try to defeat them one by one."
He said, using branches to circle a valley on the map, and then said: "We set up a trap here, and then attract some of them, and then plug the gap, and we can wipe them out in batches!"
Wang Wenzhi and others were overjoyed. The Wang family also had to reward merits after the war. The more low-level long-armed monkeys they killed, the more contributions they would get.
"Then let's prepare separately!"
At Wang Hao's order, everyone dispersed and began to transform the terrain and set up a large formation.
After doing all this, they did not rush to act. Wang Hao asked them to rest for a night to recover their magic power, and they did not start until the next day.
Wang Hao led a few people into the territory of the long-armed monkeys and began to kill some long-armed monkeys that were foraging alone. The ones on the periphery were all some low-grade and first-level low-grade demon monkeys, which could be easily dealt with by a few people. Those first-level demon monkeys were killed by everyone without even making a sound.
But as they went deeper, first-level middle-grade long-armed monkeys began to appear. If it was just one, it would be easy to deal with, but these long-armed monkeys are social animals and forage in groups of three or five.
"Act according to the plan!" Wang Hao ordered.
Everyone nodded and killed the long-armed monkeys one after another, not afraid of making a noise. After killing them all, they quickly retreated, leaving only Wang Hao in place.
When the other long-armed monkeys heard the noise, they only saw Wang Hao holding a sword and gesturing at the long-armed monkey corpses on the ground. They were immediately furious, and began to call for the tribe with a few humming sounds.
Soon, a group of long-armed monkeys, mainly a first-level upper-grade long-armed monkey, several first-level middle-grade long-armed monkeys and more than twenty low-grade long-armed monkeys were called together.
The high-grade long-armed monkey roared at Wang Hao and led the team to charge. Wang Hao cast a few talismans to kill several low-grade long-armed monkeys.
Wang Hao saw that there were not many of them and he could deal with them alone, so he did not retreat and directly sacrificed the Earthly Seal.
The Earthly Seal grew in the wind and turned into a house-sized body, smashing fiercely at the demon monkey tribe. The first-grade high-grade long-armed monkey was smashed into a pulp by the Earthly Seal without even taking a single blow.
Wang Hao made a hand gesture, and a fire dragon was sent out from his left hand, a fire crow was sent out from his right hand, and a phantom of a fire phoenix condensed on his body.
The fire dragon and the fire crow harvested the lives of low-level demon monkeys along the way. Whenever a long-armed monkey was touched by them, it would burn all over its body and turn into a charred corpse in a moment. The phantom of the fire phoenix on Wang Hao's body shot out fire feathers to attack the long-armed monkeys who tried to escape.
In just a moment, there was only one left out of more than 20 long-armed monkeys, and Wang Hao kept it to summon other demon monkeys.
Sure enough, the remaining long-armed monkey screamed in panic.
A moment later, several first-grade long-armed monkeys led thirty or forty long-armed monkeys to rush over.
Wang Hao did not dare to be arrogant, and quickly retreated after casting a few spiritual talismans!
Wang Hao was only twenty miles away from the ambush, and he could reach this distance in a quarter of an hour.
However, the long-armed monkeys were also very fast. After Wang Hao ran for fifteen miles, he was caught up by a high-grade long-armed monkey. The monkey stretched out its claws and was excited to pull Wang Hao, but Wang Hao suddenly turned around and split it in half with a sword. The monster's body was strong, but it was still a step behind Wang Hao who practiced the Ice Muscle and Jade Bone Skill.
Wang Hao looked at the other monster monkeys provocatively and continued to run into the valley.
The long-armed monkey's IQ was still defeated by the instinctive anger, and it continued to chase Wang Hao with a howl.
"Fifth brother, go in quickly," Wang Wenmei waved to Wang Hao.
Wang Hao nodded and quickly stepped into the formation.
After all the long-armed monkeys entered the range of the formation, Wang Hao stopped and shouted to the people ambushing in the canyon: "Hurry up!"
Everyone looked at each other and quickly activated the fire formation. The formation flag fell into everyone's hands, and a raging fire fell instantly, turning the entire valley into a purgatory on earth.
The terrain of the canyon had been changed long ago, the gaps were blocked, and both ends were guarded by Wang family monks. These long-armed monkeys had no way to retreat, and even the top-grade long-armed monkeys were burned and screamed!
"Haha, this wave is rich, at least each of us can get a bottle of Huanglong Dan!" Wang family monks shouted excitedly.
Wang Hao shouted: "Don't be distracted, work harder, burn them to death in one bite."
Everyone quickly restrained their expressions and concentrated on dealing with the long-armed monkeys trapped in the canyon. For a time, many long-armed monkeys were killed by everyone's spells.
"Aoaowu!" Suddenly, the first-class long-armed monkey in the canyon howled loudly. When the other demon monkeys heard it, they didn't care about avoiding the fire and started to rush to the side of the canyon without caring about their lives.
The monkeys in front fell to the ground, and the monkeys behind stepped on their bodies to move forward.
"These demon monkeys!" Seeing this, Wang Hao couldn't help but feel a little moved. The demon beasts really should not be underestimated. The power of unity exceeded Wang Hao's expectations.
The fire-burning formation is just an attack formation, not a trap formation. The openings at both ends need to be guarded by the Wang family monks. If the demon monkeys rush like this, they may really be rushed out.
At this time, everyone has been fighting for a while, and they have to supply spiritual power to the formation, which consumes a lot of energy. It is only because Wang Hao has a high level of cultivation and strong spiritual power that he can remain calm. Others have already turned pale!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wang Hao quickly took out a bottle of Huiling Pill and threw it to everyone: "Take it quickly."
"Huiling Pill?" Wang Wenmei's face lit up, and she quickly took a pill. Her spiritual power immediately recovered 50%, and her face became ruddy. She quickly distributed the pill to others.
Wang Hao stood directly in front of everyone and used half of his spiritual power to condense a huge phoenix phantom, with nearly a hundred fire feathers on the phoenix.
