Chapter 183 Before the decisive battle
Out of the sight of Liu He and others, Su An reunited with the colorful Tiger King with his harvest. He threw all the new things to the Tiger King and asked the other party to arrange for his younger brother to take care of them.
Apart from the "Kaishan" and "Qingyue" held by Su An and Zheng Nanzhi, the other trophies previously obtained from Xiao Xinghuai and other demon monks are also on these guys.
"Although these big guys won't swallow your things, they are ruin creatures after all. We haven't seen them outside the ruins, which means they can't leave the ruins. And we will eventually go back. There will be so many things by then. How to take it away?"
Zheng Nanzhi asked strangely.
There are so many things that it is inconvenient to carry them on the road, let alone fight.
Once someone arouses covetousness on the way, with the strength of the two of them, they can deal with twenty or thirty people. How can they deal with two or three hundred people?
"In your opinion, what should I do?" Su An asked calmly.
Zheng Nanzhi said with all sincerity: "The fine products obtained from the demon monks before are just fine. This batch of harvest is obviously leftover from the demon clan. The quality is really ordinary, and Liu He and the others can afford it.
"This will not only reduce our burden, but we can also gain their favor and continue to act together with them. There are dangers everywhere in the ruins, and it is safer to act with someone."
Su An smiled: "Everything you said is right."
"Then why don't you do this?" Zheng Nanzhi became increasingly puzzled.
Su An said: "The reason is very simple. No matter how bad these things are, they are still relic weapons, which are much better than the things outside.
"Liu He and others just met us by chance. In the previous battles, they chose to sit on the sidelines. Although I understand and have no intention of blaming them, they are not our own people after all, and good things have been wasted on them."
Zheng Nanzhi suddenly asked: "You want to leave these weapons to Zhu Feng and the others?"
Su An nodded: "Based on our friendship with them, it's not too much to say that we are one of our own, right?"
"Of course it's not too much." Zheng Nanzhi's attitude was straightforward, "It's just that they also harvested the treasure area they discovered in Zhu Feng, so they may not need this from us."
Su An's eyes were deep: "Their team is not short of weapons, but who can guarantee that they will only have that team to enter the ruins?"
Zheng Nanzhi opened her mouth, not knowing what to say for a moment, because she suddenly understood what Su An meant.
Zhu Feng's team seemed to be a team put together temporarily, but based on the discipline and tacit understanding they displayed, they were clearly organized.
Su An means that the people sent by the organization to bring the ruins are not just Zhu Feng and the others, but other teams may not be as lucky as Zhu Feng.
"Zhu Feng and the others are okay. We have fought side by side. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are our own people, but we have never seen the others. How can you be sure that they are also our own people?"
Zheng Nanzhi felt that Su An was hiding something from her.
Su An did not explain, but sighed leisurely: "Most likely."
After saying that, seeing Zheng Nanzhi looking at him without blinking, Su An spread his hands: "It's not that I don't want to make it clear to you, but there are some things that I haven't determined yet.
"Telling it to you hastily may affect your subsequent judgment of the enemy or the enemy. Once things are not what I thought, this will be a fatal mistake, so I can only say this much now."
Zheng Nanzhi thought for a while and sighed quietly: "I know your background is not simple."
Su An nodded slightly and said no more.
By now, he certainly knew that his identity was not simple.
But how simple is it?
Su An didn't know it herself.
He raised his head and looked at the main peak of the ruins, his eyes becoming darker and darker.
For most people who enter the Changling Mountains and the ruins of the demon clan, the purpose of the trip is the ruins and treasures, but for Su An, the trip has gradually become a journey of exploration to uncover the mystery of his identity.
Not just revealing his own identity.
And the identity of someone very close to him.
It’s not even just a matter of a few people.
The history and details of humans and demons were gradually unveiled in front of him, and what was related to the truth of this world was.
......
After throwing the relic weapons to the giant beasts, Su An and Zheng Nanzhi embarked on their journey again.
With the Tiger King and his younger brothers secretly following him, Su An was not worried about his and Zheng Nanzhi's safety. This was also the basis for him to openly part ways with Liu He and others.
The existence of teammates does not necessarily have a positive effect. Some teammates can support each other's lives, but some teammates will only hinder the team's progress, or even stab in the back at critical moments.
Although he had only been with Liu He and others for a few hours, after what had happened before, Su An had already realized that most of the people in that team were unreliable, especially since he was unwilling to share the relic weapons.
Su An's current goal is no longer to find a team. To be precise, he is not looking for another team. He just wants to join Zhu Feng, Fang Ming and others.
In order to achieve this goal, Su An began to circle outside the main peak of the ruins.
Just as he thought when he left the cave, a few days later, there were already many teams coming to the area near the main peak. Over the course of the day, Su An met several groups of people, ranging in size from dozens to hundreds.
Having more teams will inevitably produce a result, that is, the security of the nearby area will be greatly improved.
As they got closer to the main peak, the extraordinary beings frequently fought against the demon monks who guarded this place and fortified themselves layer by layer, and steadily advanced the battle line.
As long as Su An walks behind the ranks of these extraordinary beings, he will basically not encounter any monsters attacking him.
Just because you can't meet demon monks doesn't mean you can't meet giant beasts.
A whole day passed, and Su An encountered many giant beasts, some moving alone, some in groups, some fighting with extraordinary beings, and some sleeping idle.
When Su An passed by these giant beasts, they all became part of the team led by the Tiger King. He is said to be the Tiger King's younger brother, but in fact he is Su An's follower.
The original team of one or two hundred giant beasts quickly doubled in number.
Su An's luck was not very good. He didn't meet Zhu Feng and others all day long. The next day, he and Zheng Nanzhi continued to circle outside the area controlled by human extraordinary beings. As a result, they gained nothing for the whole day.
"We will walk for another day tomorrow. We will circle around the main peak. We should be able to meet Zhu Feng and the others." When camping at night, Zheng Nanzhi chatted with Su An while stirring the fire.
Su An held the back of his head with his hands and leaned against the tree trunk. Hearing this, he shook his head calmly:
"We may not encounter them. It's possible that they haven't arrived yet, or it's possible that we left them with one foot and rushed in with the other, and missed them."
Zheng Nanzhi smiled: "Doesn't that mean we have to go around all the time?"
Su An said: "It doesn't matter if you keep going around, as long as you can touch it."
This was a normal statement, but Zheng Nanzhi fell into silence after hearing it.
As long as you can encounter it, going around twice more is nothing, but what if you never encounter it? Then Zhu Feng and the others may have been destroyed during the exploration process.
"There are tens of thousands of extraordinary beings gathered near the main peak. Although the monsters have been resisting, the battle line has repeatedly retreated and is now very close to the main peak."
After a long silence, Zheng Nanzhi started talking again, "Many days have passed, and the Monster Tribe's exploration may end at any time. I estimate that in two days at the latest, our Transcendents will organize a general attack on the main peak."
This is something that is not difficult to infer. Based on what he has seen and heard in the past few days, Su An also thinks so.
Most of the extraordinary beings who can come have arrived. In two days, there will be almost no new forces to join. By then, the extraordinary beings from the Yan, Zhongshan, and Bohai States will inevitably join forces to launch a decisive offensive against the main peak.
In other words, if Su An and Zheng Nanzhi still want to gain something from the main peak, they will have to move with the group in two days at the latest. They cannot wait for Zhu Feng and others forever.
Correspondingly, if Zhu Feng and others did not come after two days, it was basically certain that they were destroyed on the way to explore.
Su An looked at the stars in the sky and said softly: "Let's speed up tomorrow."
Zheng Nanzhi nodded in agreement.
......
Accompanied by the old man in black robes, the girl with two ponytails walked out of the cave and came to a wide platform with a good view. She looked at the mountain front area from the edge.
The girl's clear pupils were soon filled with sparks, which were piles of bonfires in the jungle and open space in front of the mountain. They were of various sizes and densely packed like stars, surrounding the main peak.
Every bonfire represents a team of human extraordinary beings there.
Hundreds of bonfires are connected in series, complementing the Milky Way above their heads, demonstrating the powerful combat power of an army of extraordinary beings.
"In the past few days, there have been many new fires every night. According to the statistics of the people below, the extraordinary combat power under the mountain has been close to 10,000. In a day or two at most, they will act together and use all their strength. Attack our main peak position."
The old man with gray temples spoke slowly.
There are more than ten thousand extraordinary beings at level six or above, which is a number that makes one's scalp numb just thinking about it.
The Yan Kingdom's border troops stationed in the Changling Mountains are the two most powerful armies in the Yan Kingdom, but they only number 100,000. The total number of extraordinary people in the army is less than 10,000, and the combatants below level six Soldiers accounted for the vast majority.
If ten thousand soldiers of level six or above were to turn their spearhead and head north into the territory of the northern demon clan, it would be an extraordinary torrent that the latter would be unable to deal with.
The Holy Envoy said nonchalantly: "After all, they are extraordinary beings from three countries, and there are also major forces such as the rebels, the church, and the dark network. It is normal to send out 20,000 to 36,000 soldiers above level 6."
The old man muttered: "We have collected all the objects worth collecting outside the main peak. The harvest is indeed considerable, but it is nothing compared to the treasures in the main peak.
"Although the formation is about to be repaired, it will still take time after all. Moreover, after we enter the secret realm of the main peak, we still have to spend time transferring supplies. The teleportation formation cannot be disturbed while it is working."
There are many large and small teleportation arrays inside the main peak. The demon monks and their harvest can rely on this to return to the north without having to fight their way out of the ruins or the Changling Mountains.
Compared with the formations that block the secret realm of the main peak, these teleportation formations are much easier to repair, but no matter how easy it is, it cannot be done overnight, and there is a limit to what can be transmitted at one time.
In short, the demon tribe needs time right now and cannot allow human extraordinary beings to attack too quickly.
"Let the 'Sword of Dawn' take action."
The Holy Envoy made a decision, "While their encirclement has not yet been completed and there are still weaknesses in certain places, focus on destroying a few of their stronger teams to spread panic and delay their general attack."
The old man nodded in agreement.
They are condescending and can clearly see the number of human extraordinary people, but the other party does not know how much combat power they have here. As long as they show their strength, they can make human extraordinary people afraid and dare not gather enough power. Easy battle.
“This formation is really annoying, and repairing it is much more troublesome than what is recorded in ancient books.
"Otherwise we wouldn't have been dragged down until now, and we could have entered the secret realm of the main peak long ago, packed up our things, and left." The Holy Envoy was a little troubled.
The old man sighed: "After all, the formation has not been maintained for thousands of years, so it is reasonable for unexpected problems to occur.
"And the ruins themselves are unstable. Under the continuous impact of the chaotic tide of the Force and space fluctuations, many difficult and complicated diseases are not incomprehensible."
He said this in an understatement, but the actual problem was much more serious.
It was not only the formation that had problems, but even the space on the main peak was unstable. Not only did their repair work have many technical problems, but their methods had to be as gentle as possible, and every move was made carefully.
"Those monsters and robbers outside only know that there are good things in the main peak, and they are trying their best to break in and rob them. Little do they know that if there is a real explosion and war in the main peak, the consequences will be disastrous."
The holy envoy showed a cruel and evil smile, "If things really get out of hand, I would like to see what their expressions will be like when disaster strikes!"
The old man didn't answer.
If a catastrophe were to happen, everyone inside and outside the main peak would suffer. It would be a situation where everyone would almost die together, and no one could survive alone.
