Chapter 450 Scouting the Enemy

The forces mobilized for this operation are no less than those used to attack Teng Mountain and hunt the Iron-backed Ape.

The only disadvantage is that without Lu Hongniang as a backup, the confidence is slightly insufficient.

However, Qingchan's cultivation has made great progress compared to more than 20 years ago, and with the awakening of part of Liu Xuanyan's memory, her methods are far superior to those 20 years ago.

Moreover, she still has two fifth-level spiritual talismans, so even if she encounters a fifth-level monster, she can get rid of the general trouble.

Zhang Zhixuan's floating cloud boat has a large space, and it is very convenient to carry more than a dozen cultivators. After joining everyone in Qingxuan Sect, he immediately flew to the territory of the Kingdom of Xi.

In the chaos of monsters in the southern wilderness 50 years ago, the cultivators of the Kingdom of Xi had no one to support them, and suffered heavy losses. Not only did many purple mansion cultivators die, but also several fourth-level spiritual mountains were occupied by monsters.

Fortunately, the internal friction among the three sects of the Kingdom of Xi was not serious, and they could take care of each other, and the Poison Dragon Pond Demon King had no intention of invading on a large scale, so the most important sacred mountain of the Kingdom of Xi was preserved.

However, in recent years, the life of Baihong Mountain, which is close to the Qingxuan Sect, has become increasingly difficult.

The front line of the confrontation between the cultivators and the monsters has approached Baihong Mountain, and the population near Baihong Mountain is relatively dense. Now it is often attacked by monsters, and the population has not only not increased compared to fifty years ago, but has decreased by 20%.

The decrease in population means a decrease in the base number of cultivators, and the decrease in the number of cultivators also means that the foundation of the sect is declining.

Because of this factor, in the past fifty years, the number of new foundation-building cultivators in Baihong Mountain has decreased by half compared to the past.

The fourth-level Canglan beast that Zhang Zhixuan and Qingchan discovered last time appeared in the original territory of Baihong Mountain.

After entering the Kingdom of Xi, Zhang Zhixuan and others were more careful. They jumped off the floating cloud boat and almost walked in the wilderness with the magic of walking.

Fortunately, everyone's cultivation is not low, and they can walk at least a thousand miles every day. After more than a month of hard trekking, everyone finally arrived at the first place of this trip.

This place is called Yuling Mountain. It used to be a fourth-level spiritual vein controlled by Baihong Mountain. It was lost after the chaos of the monster beasts in the southern wilderness and became a wilderness ravaged by monster beasts.

After arriving three hundred miles away from Yuling Mountain, Zhang Zhixuan asked everyone to rest for a while, and he and Qingchan set up a light escape to Yuling Mountain to inquire about the enemy.

The place where they found the fourth-level Canglan beast last time was still quite far away from Yuling Mountain. The two were not sure whether there was any danger on Yuling Mountain.

Once they rashly bumped into a fifth-level monster beast, the two people would be smaller targets and easier to escape. Even if Qingchan had to use the purple sun sky fire, it would not be exposed to outsiders.

Qingchan took out a fourth-level low-grade invisibility talisman from the storage bag and sacrificed it. The invisibility talisman turned into a light circle, encircling the two people inside.

While the invisibility talisman was working, the two of them fled in a flash and rushed to Yuling Mountain.

The effect of the fourth-level invisibility talisman is already very powerful. Unless some monsters with special talents and born with spiritual eye spells, ordinary fourth-level monsters have no ability to discover it.

When the two came to Yuling Mountain, the first thing they saw was a large number of broken walls and ruins on the mountain. No cultivators had cleaned it up for fifty years, and the infrastructure built on the mountain in the past had already been dilapidated.

Even the spiritual fields on the mountain had long been deserted and weeds were connected.

The two of them circled around Yuling Mountain and soon found something. Things were indeed as they expected. The group of Canglan beasts they encountered that year did occupy Yuling Mountain.

Canglan beasts like to play in the water. This group of monsters did not choose to settle down on the top of the mountain with the best spiritual energy, but built their nests on the Li River at the foot of the mountain.

The Li River is a relatively large river in the Southern Wilderness. Although it is far less complex than the water system of the Poison Dragon Pond, the river surface is far more than the Jiao River, as far as 70 or 80 miles away.

After detecting the enemy, Zhang Zhixuan and the other two did not stay long and left Yuling Mountain.

After all, although the Canglan beast is not good at using the spiritual eye spell, this kind of monster has a very strong sense of smell. If the two stay a little longer, even with the protection of the invisibility talisman, the smell they left behind may be discovered by this monster.

"How is it? What's the situation ahead?" Wu Siheng has the strongest spiritual awareness. In the past few years, his cultivation has broken through the seventh level of the Purple Mansion. After discovering that Zhang Zhixuan and the other two have returned, he immediately asked.

"As expected, the Canglan beast did move to Yuling Mountain. But there is bad news. This group of monsters did not settle down on the top of the mountain, but built their nests in the Li River." Zhang Zhixuan walked quickly and introduced some of the news he had heard to everyone.

"Most of us are not good at water battles. Apart from Qingchan and I, three of the five Purple Palaces cannot play to their strengths. Zhixuan and Senior Wu's magic skills are mostly restrained because of their skills. Most of the ten foundation-building cultivators cannot exert enough strength. I don't think we have a chance of winning if we directly attack the nest of the Canglan beast." After listening to Zhang Zhixuan's introduction, Han Yan blurted out.

Zhang Zhixuan nodded and said, "I have also considered what you said. I think we need to observe for a while to see the habits of the Canglan beast. If we can wait until they are hunting in large numbers like we did when we hunted the Tengshe monster, our chances of winning will be better than the battle that year."

Wu Siheng is the oldest and has the most experience in the Southern Wilds. He has been stationed in Jiaohe Square for many years and has a better understanding of various water-attributed monsters. After hearing what Zhang Zhixuan said, he immediately shook his head and said, "Canglan beasts are water-attributed monsters. Although this kind of monster occasionally hunts on land, it is estimated that it will be difficult to make them leave in groups like Tengshe. I think it is better to adopt the old method of hunting monsters, lure the enemy deep into the depths and send one person to lure the Canglan beasts, attract them to the top of Yuling Mountain and solve them in one fell swoop."

The reason why Zhang Zhixuan did not propose the method of luring the enemy deep into the depths is mainly because he did not want the foundation-building cultivators below to take risks. The ten foundation-building cultivators who followed him out this time were either younger clansmen or old friends of the sect, and they were all Zhang Zhixuan's base in Heishan.

If there is any mistake, I am afraid that Zhang Zhixuan will regret it for a long time. Zhang Zhixuan will never give up on them unless it is absolutely necessary.

The task of luring the enemy looks easy, but it is actually very difficult. If Qingchan is asked to lure the enemy, I am afraid that no Canglan beast will appear.

Although the monsters are not smart enough, they may not be unable to distinguish the level of cultivation of human cultivators. Most monsters have a strong sixth sense. Although they cannot use the Qi-seeing technique to distinguish the cultivation level, they can recognize powerful cultivators at a glance.

If a human who is difficult to prey on appears, normal monsters will not choose to take risks.

Therefore, if you want to lead the monsters to Yuling Mountain, you cannot let the Purple Mansion cultivators come forward.

It is still very risky for cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage to undertake the task of luring the enemy.

The people present are all people with a solid foundation in cultivation, and the youngest has a lifespan of seventy or eighty years. After listening to Wu Siheng's words, they all became a little silent.
