Chapter 473 Battle against the monster army

After the law enforcement team had compiled and reported the fruitful results of this battle, Song Qingming immediately issued an order and began to award rewards based on merit.

With so many demonic beast materials harvested after a great battle, except for a small portion that will be used to pay for the monks who died in the battle, the rest were all directly used as rewards and distributed to those monks who performed bravely and outstandingly in the war.

Just as Jinshanfang was celebrating their victory in the first battle with joy, in the Huangling Valley a few hundred miles away from Jinshanfang, a snow-white third-level demon king looked fiercely at the demons who had just escaped from Jinshanfang. The beast let out a frightening roar.

This third-level demon king is the same white lion demon king who led his army of demon beasts to defeat Jinshanfang.

One hundred years have passed. Although the White Lion Demon King still only has the cultivation level of the early stage of the Golden Core, its strength has grown a lot compared to a hundred years ago. It is now equivalent to the second level of the Golden Core among human monks.

During this time of monster turmoil, the White Lion Demon King led the army of monster beasts south to defend the country. Now there are thousands of monsters gathered in Huangling Valley, and the scale is even larger than when the monster beasts were in turmoil a hundred years ago.

Not far from the White Lion Demon King, there is a red bull demon that has had most of its head bitten off. It is the second-level middle-grade fire bull demon that just escaped from Jinshanfang's defeat. .

This fire bull monster thought that it had escaped the pursuit of the human monks. Unexpectedly, after finally returning, it was quickly killed by the somewhat angry White Lion Demon King.

The reason why the White Lion Demon King stopped his army here and sent some demon beasts to attack Jinshanfang was because he wanted to imitate the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain a hundred years ago. However, this time the human monks had learned the lesson of the last failure. After chasing them for a long time, they all returned to Jinshanfang and did not fall for the White Lion Demon King again.

After knowing that there was a third-level demon king among the demon beasts heading south, Song Qingming had also given a death order to his monks and was not allowed to attack and defeat the defeated demon beasts at will.

Although some monks in the city still don't understand this order, Song Qingming has also given strict orders to the monks of the law enforcement team. No matter which monk they belong to, as long as they dare to disobey orders on the battlefield, they will be immediately imprisoned and charged.

Among the demonic beasts that had been chasing and escaping before, two Xiaoyao Sect disciples were convicted for this. Not only did they not receive any reward for their merits after the war, they were also fined a year of the sect's salary. It was a loss that outweighed the gain.

In the battle at Jinshanfang just now, although the monster side was severely defeated, it also made the White Lion Demon King see that the defense forces in Jinshanfang were not weak, and they had to be much more cautious than before.

Seeing that the strategy of luring the enemy had failed, the White Lion Demon King also knew that the human race would not be easily fooled again. After gathering all the demon beasts under his command, he immediately drove them south to kill Jinshanfang.

When the sky dawned the next day, the monks from Jinshanfang, who were still immersed in yesterday's joy, saw a burst of dust coming from the north.

"The monsters are coming, the army of monsters is coming!"

Seeing this earth-shattering scene, the monks from the law enforcement team who were monitoring the movements of the monsters at several mountain strongholds outside Fang City hurried to Fang City to inform everyone of this important news.

"Fellow Daoist Zhao, go and make arrangements to activate the mountain protection formation."

"Fellow Daoist Cao, go to the city wall and notify all the monks operating the Feiyun Crossbow so that they can prepare to face the enemy immediately."

"Friend Huang"

After learning that the army of monster beasts had been killed, Jinfang City, which was still a little quiet, suddenly became lively. Countless monks went straight to their original positions, preparing to start the next battle.

Half an hour later, the Jinshanfang monks who had just been prepared suddenly felt an invisible force when they saw the monster army that was ten times larger than yesterday. The pressure fell on himself.

However, after training in yesterday's battle, most of the monks present still did not show too much panic and nervousness. Everyone's mentality was better than when they first came into contact with the monsters yesterday.

This surging army of monster beasts numbered three to four thousand, more than twice as many as the defending monks in Jinshanfang. Just the sound of the larger monster beasts running could be heard from several miles away. The many monks were deafened by what they heard.

Most of the monsters in the army were low-level monsters that were common in the Fuyun Mountains. There were also some monsters that came from the north of the Fuyun Mountains and were types that the Guardian monks had never seen before.

In addition to these low-level monsters, there are also about forty or fifty leading second-level monsters, but the white lion monster king driving these monsters has not yet appeared in the army of monsters.

"Quick! Activate the mountain protection formation."

When the monster army was only a few hundred feet away from Jinshanfang, a burst of spiritual light suddenly lit up outside Jinshanfang, forming a yellow light shield that firmly covered the entire city.

After this light shield came out, many monks standing in the city became nervous, fearing that this seemingly thin protective formation would not be able to block the army of monsters that were already very close to here.

However, as the low-level monsters hit the shield one after another and were bounced back, everyone immediately felt relieved. No matter how many low-level monsters came, they wanted to break through a second-level monster so quickly. The high-grade mountain-protecting formation is indeed not that easy.

Those second-level monsters with some sense did not rush directly towards the formation after seeing the Jinshanfang Mountain Protection Formation activated. Instead, they flew directly into the air and spit out bursts of spells, and began to attack the huge mountain protection formation in front of them.

This mountain-protecting formation was a defensive formation that Song Qingming specially invited from the Xiaoyao Sect to help set up a defensive formation for Jinshanfang with several second-level high-level formation masters.

Since he advanced to become a Golden Elixir cultivator, Song Qingming's original formation level has also improved very quickly. Although he has not yet been able to refine a second-level high-grade formation on his own, he can still help arrange formations of the same level.

After the monster beasts at the front were blocked by the mountain guard formation, the monster beasts behind were still rushing forward, and were soon squeezed together, colliding and trampling on each other, and soon became a mess. group.

The second-level monsters above saw that the monsters below had caused a commotion, and hurriedly began to intimidate the low-level monsters below, preventing them from helping to attack the mountain-protecting formation in front of them.

Although this "thick earth golden light array" has no offensive power, its defensive ability is very outstanding at the second level. Song Qingming placed it on the front line outside Jinshanfang just to let it consume a wave of monsters first. of vigor.

Just when the army of demonic beasts began to attack the "Thick Earth Golden Light Array", a row of more than a dozen "Feiyun Crossbows" already installed on the Jinshanfang city wall began to shoot sharp white arrows one after another.

The power of each strike of these white arrows is almost equivalent to half a foundation-building monk. Although it is not a big threat to the second-level monsters in mid-air, it is still very lethal to the first-level monsters attacking on the ground. Yes, even those first-level high-grade monsters with strong physical defenses can be easily penetrated by one arrow.

After a round of "Feiyun Crossbow" volleys, the monsters rushing at the front immediately let out screams. These dozen or so unlucky monsters had not even touched the city wall of Jinshanfang. Died tragically outside the formation.

This wave of sharp attacks also made some nearby low-level monsters that were struggling to attack stop their attacks and shrink back in fear. However, as the roars of the second level above came, these low-level monsters After being stunned for a moment, he began to attack the mountain guarding formation frantically.

Although the attack ability of "Feiyun Crossbow" is not bad, it is also very laborious to use. After each time a "spiritual arrow" is fired, it takes some time to exchange for new spiritual stones before starting to charge up the attack again.

Whether it is the mountain-protecting formation currently operating in front of them or the "Flying Cloud Crossbow" used to counterattack monsters on the city wall, they are all very consuming methods of spiritual stones. They can only play a temporary defensive role and cannot be consumed indefinitely.

In Jinshanfang, in addition to some spiritual stones still remaining in the city treasury, the major cultivating families in Pingyang County also voluntarily raised a batch of spiritual stones.

After all, these immortal cultivating families have a lot of assets in Jinshanfang. Once the city is attacked by monsters like a hundred years ago, they will also suffer huge losses. No matter what, they want this spiritual stone. Take it out consciously.

Although the spirit stones in the market can still last for a long time, the main purpose of the "Thick Earth Golden Light Array" is to consume the spirit of the monsters. Song Qingming does not want to consume too many spirit stones here from the beginning. After all, the turmoil of the monsters continues. The time will certainly not be short.

If too many spiritual stones were consumed in the front, and then reinforcements came from the monster side, the fate of the entire Jinshanfang and the monks who guarded the city would be very passive.

"First remove the big formation outside and let the monsters in. Everyone is ready to fight!"

Following Song Qingyu's order, the "Thick Earth Golden Light Array" that had lasted for nearly an hour suddenly turned into a yellow aura and dissipated in mid-air.

Seeing that the formation blocking the road in front of them suddenly dissipated, the monsters that had been desperately attacking the formation were immediately overjoyed and rushed towards Jinshanfang behind them.

It's just that after a week of consumption in the mountain guarding battle, the attack power of these monster beasts has been reduced by less than half, and their momentum seems far less powerful than before they arrived.

The moment the "Thick Earth Golden Light Array" disappeared, a white spiritual light suddenly flashed from behind the monster army into the sky, transformed into a huge white lion more than ten feet tall, and rushed directly towards Jinshanfang. come over.

As soon as the White Lion Demon King appeared, the human monks above the city wall immediately spotted its figure. Seeing that the huge demon king had already rushed towards them, these people immediately shouted in fear.

"No, it's the third-level demon king here!"
