Chapter 857 Dog bites dog
“Is this Wuliang Mountain?”
Zhang Tuohai couldn't help but rein in his horse as he looked at the vast mountains in front of him. There was a huge mountain in front of him, with forests and trees everywhere. There were only a few trails left by hunters hidden in the woods. It was extremely difficult to find the way into the mountain, let alone cross Wuliang Mountain.
So, Zhang Tuohai turned and looked at Mo Zi.
After all, Mo Zi is the only "local" here.
"I, I don't know." Mo Zi saw Zhang Tuohai looking at her, and hurriedly stuffed the osmanthus cake in her hand into her mouth, shaking her head repeatedly.
"I have lived in a small village since I was a child. I have never even been to Qianji City. This is the first time I have heard of the name Wuliang Mountain. How do I know how to get to Wuliang Mountain?"
Mozi said.
"Then, if you come to Wuliang Mountain by yourself, which direction will you go?"
Zhang Tuohai induced.
"Well - if it were me, it would be this way..."
Mozi said, pointing to a small path hidden in the grass on the left.
The path was very hidden and overgrown with weeds. If it weren't for Mo Zi's guidance, Zhang Tuohai would have almost not found it.
"Why here?" Zhang Tuohai was a little curious.
He was more optimistic about the road on the right. At least it looked very flat, and it was also wider and had ruts on it, making it obviously more suitable for riding on horseback.
“There was a voice in my heart telling me to follow this path or I would be in danger.”
Mozi bit her fingers and said seriously.
"Then go this way."
Zhang Tuohai got off the horse and drove it away.
The path pointed out by the Son of Luck may not necessarily be the safest, but it definitely leads to the most opportunities.
"Walking."
The group followed the path into the vast Wuliang Mountains.
Ten minutes later, a large number of demon slayers on horseback came chasing from a distance, led by a woman in a bright red cloak with a long sword on her waist.
"Master Honglian, the Wuliang Mountain is ahead. According to the old swordsmith's confession, the thieves who caused trouble in Qianji City are targeting Wuliang Mountain. The horse we just found also found the secret mark of the demon slayer. It can be concluded that the thieves must have entered Wuliang Mountain."
A demon slayer stepped forward to report.
"Leave a team behind to block the road and meet the follow-up troops. The rest of you will follow me into Wuliang Mountain to capture the thieves!"
As Red Lotus Overlord spoke, he steed his horse and headed towards the road. Seeing this, the people behind him followed him one after another, and a large group of people poured into Wuliang Mountain.
With the massive influx of demon slayers, the unusually quiet Wuliang Mountain began to surge with undercurrents.
A little monkey flew across the treetops and ran towards the depths of the forest. Just as it jumped onto a treetop, suddenly a sharp arrow shot into its body from behind and nailed it directly to the tree.
A hundred meters behind it, the Red Lotus Overlord, wearing a red cloak, slowly put down the longbow in his hand.
"Master, what are you doing?"
A demon slayer was puzzled.
"There are many demons in Wuliang Mountain, and many of them like to use these small beasts as their spies. Our trip is of great importance, and we must not alarm the demons in Wuliang Mountain and increase the uncertainty . I have ordered that once these small beasts are discovered, they must be killed on the spot without any mistakes!"
The Red Lotus Supervisor said in a cold voice.
"clear!"
Many demon slayers responded loudly and scattered in all directions. Some jumped onto the treetops, and some hid in the grass. Wherever they passed, they killed all the wild beasts they saw, no matter what kind.
Even an ant nest was filled up.
For a time, almost all the wild beasts were killed wherever the demon slayer passed.
Although the demon slayers were very skilled and killed the monsters very quickly, there were many wild beasts in Wuliang Mountain. Many of them fled immediately when they saw the situation was not good. Even if the demon slayers moved very quickly, they could not catch up with them.
The news that a large group of demon-slayers had entered the mountains and were killing wild beasts spread quickly.
In a hidden cave in Wuliang Mountain, a peacock slammed the stone table in front of it and smashed it: "These humans are really too much. They dare to kill my people so cruelly. Come, gather the elite troops and cut off the way back of these demon slayers. I will make sure they never return!"
"yes!"
The order of the Thousand Illusions Demon King was passed down, and a large number of ordinary wild beasts began to retreat to a distance, while those demon beasts with cultivation were organized and began to launch sneak attacks on lone demon slayers.
In order to expand the search range, those demon slayers spread out their teams and stretched the search line very long. The advantage of this is that it can greatly expand the search area and increase search efficiency. The disadvantage is that the personnel are too dispersed, which makes it easy for the enemy to have the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
Although those monsters have not specifically studied military tactics, their experience of years of fighting and melee in the jungle cannot be faked. They naturally know how to use the terrain to ambush and to outnumber the enemy. Although they do not have a mature theoretical system, it does not mean that they will not do it.
After these monsters were mobilized, the monster slayers who were unprepared were instantly hit hard.
A large number of demon slayers were killed in the first round of concentrated fire.
Some monsters will even actively not seek to kill the demon slayer, but will instead locate their target and destroy the opponent's combat effectiveness, such as biting the opponent's arm or thigh .
According to their observations, in this case, the demon slayers would need to allocate manpower to treat the injured ones, which would invisibly weaken the strength of the demon slayers.
They could even set up another ambush outside the ambush circle, specifically to attack the demon slayers who came to help.
For a moment, a huge fight broke out in Wuliang Mountain.
The demon slayer lost the initiative and was unfamiliar with the terrain. He was at a clear disadvantage in numbers and was suppressed by the superior group of demon beasts. He could only retreat continuously and form a battle formation to protect himself.
Seeing his men in such an embarrassed state, Overlord Honglian looked very unhappy.
She drew the long knife from her waist and slashed forward fiercely.
A blazing flame gushed out from the long sword, forming a fire dragon that extended a hundred meters away, burning all the monsters in a line to ashes.
It didn't end there. After the flames extended to a hundred meters, dozens of small flaming dragons suddenly extended from the main body to both sides, burning the monsters on both sides to ashes. In an instant, a large area of the battlefield was cleared.
Seeing that Lord Red Lotus had taken action, the demon slayers cheered: "Lord Red Lotus is mighty!"
Encouraged, those demon slayers increased their strength and actually stabilized the battle line.
Seeing this, Red Lotus Overlord headed towards another area where monsters were gathered and was about to take action. At this moment, she felt a cold light flash past her eyes.
Overlord Honglian drew his sword to block, and found that it was actually a colorful feather.
Overlord Honglian looked up and saw a woman in colorful clothes standing on the treetop, holding a colorful sword in her hand.
"Honglian, you are becoming more and more useless. You actually attacked my people! Are you trying to start a war between the two tribes?"
