251 Chapter 250-attack Eagle Valley

three-star Mystic realm: divine Deer Forest (vassal Mystic realm)

[ special characteristics: accelerated growth of spiritual herbs; wood-attribute cultivation speed is two and a half times that of a normal level-three spiritual heritage; Suitable for the survival of the demon race. ]

……

Lu Qing saw the information about the divine Deer Forest in the system.

He smiled.

Although Wynn and Lu man had communicated in the name of ‘allies’, in reality, after the relationship between the two was established, how could it be an ordinary Alliance?

All the living supplies and communication with the outside world of the demon race in the divine Deer Forest were free. The Lu family would not interfere in any way. However, even the entrance was in the hands of the Lu family. What else was there to talk about?

Of course, the Lu family would not go back on their word. Reputation was still very important to a force.

Furthermore, how could killing all these demons and turning them into materials be more profitable than enslaving them? And to use the demon race as slaves, how could it be more effective than controlling them through trading?

Lu Qing came from a modern world where the level of social organization was completely different from that of the immortal cultivation world. He knew that the productivity of slavery was several generations behind that of a capitalist society.

To treat the demons as slaves, it would take a lot of effort, manpower, and resources to suppress their resistance, but it would be difficult for them to give birth wholeheartedly under such resistance. After all, when one was oppressed and forced to do things, how could one have the motivation to fight for a better tomorrow?

On the contrary, through trade control, the timeline would be extended further. After a few years, the demons in the divine Deer Forest would definitely become a force that the Lu family could control at will.

It was both a market and a source of labor. When necessary, they could even hire demons to fight and waste time.

As for the secret plane itself, divine Deer Forest didn’t have much of a special feature. The special effect of increasing the growth rate of spiritual herbs was still slightly inferior to the ancient secret realm that the Lu clan had mastered and was upgraded by Lu Qing. The wood attribute cultivation speed was a good attribute. In the future, when the two sides got rid of the bad relationship from the war and went back to normal, the Lu family could also pay or simply have friendly exchanges and arrange some cultivators to cultivate there. This should not be a problem.

In short, it was as if they didn’t pay any price and got a secret realm with empty words. It was a huge profit.

……

Four months later, in the outskirts of Eagle Valley in the North barren forest.

The human cultivators ‘siege on Eagle Valley had been going on for almost three months.

It was already winter.

Under the heavy snow, the five formation-breaking cannons stood in front of the formation and roared under the heavy protection.

The artillery fire roared, stirring up a thousand layers of snow.

In front of him, the array that covered the Eagle Valley started to shake violently.

But it wasn’t broken.

The formation-breaking cannon was pulled down.

Today’s bombardment had been completed. The cultivators who acted as humanoid chargers for the formation-breaking cannon all looked exhausted when they left.

They had already fired four shots today, and everyone was a little tired. In the past, he would usually only fire one or two shots a day.

The formation-breaking cannon could be powered by cultivators, but it could also be fired with spirit stones. The effects of the two were similar, but the former was obviously cheaper. Of course, the price was that the cultivators who supplied energy could no longer cultivate properly. Their daily routine was to work hard to recover their spirit energy and then supply energy to the array-breaking cannon. After being drained, they would work hard to recover their spirit energy.

Cultivators also needed to spend spirit stones to cultivate, but it was cheaper than directly burning spirit stones. After all, this also included the spiritual Qi that cultivators absorbed from heaven and earth when they recovered their spiritual energy.

However, this kind of thing couldn’t last long. Otherwise, the cultivators who powered the array-breaking cannon would face the risk of their cultivation realm dropping.

However, outside of Eagle Valley, the battle had turned into a war of attrition.

Ever since the North troops had left the divine Deer Forest four months ago, they had been heading towards Eagle Valley.

After the threat of the divine Deer Forest had been removed, there was not much to worry about when attacking eagle Valley.

Along the way, there were a few other demon race strongholds, but none of them were as strong as the divine Deer Forest. Even the divine Deer Forest had been taken down, so they did not dare to personally experience the power of human cultivators.

As a result, their journey to the North was extremely smooth, and the resistance they encountered was negligible.

A small portion of the fleeing demons had escaped deeper into the North barren forest. Most of the others either gathered on their own accord or were intentionally led to the Eagle Valley.

This was the most powerful area in the northeast of the North barren forest. Not only did the three Divine Eagle brothers have a powerful bloodline, the direct bloodline of the rank four Demon King ‘heavenly spirit blood eagle’, but they were also very powerful. The second brother of the three brothers was already at the peak of stage three, while the third brother was also at the high-grade stage three. Their boss was slightly weaker, but he was still at the level of a stage three middle-grade.

In terms of battle prowess at the initial enlightenment stage and third stage, the five of the North troops might not even be able to defeat the three brothers.

After all, the five of them were three in the middle stage of initial enlightenment and two in the initial stage of initial enlightenment.

However, Li Yanling, a golden core cultivator, gave them a huge amount of pressure.

They had also vaguely figured out how the humans had conquered the divine Deer Forest. Although they surrendered in the end, old deer and young deer had died and suffered serious injuries before the humans officially surrounded the forest of deer God. This was also the key reason why the forest of deer God could not hold on for long and surrendered after being surrounded.

After learning this lesson, the three Divine Eagle brothers adopted a tortoise strategy. No matter what happened outside Eagle Valley, the three of them were determined not to leave their nest.

Not to mention themselves, even the tier-two demonic beasts under their command were determined not to be sent out.

On the way to Eagle Valley, the human cultivators had also thought of some ways to lure the enemy out.

But without a doubt, all of them failed.

There was no other way. Since they had encountered an old turtle, they could only besiege him and then take out the formation-breaking cannon and start firing.

The connection between Eagle Valley and the outside world had been completely cut off. This meant that they would not be able to obtain any resources from the outside.

The human cultivators, on the other hand, did not operate the array-breaking cannon at full power in consideration of the consumption of spirit stones. They only fired one shot at a time.

But even so, if this kind of siege continued for a long time, Eagle Valley would not be able to withstand it. The defensive array would be broken sooner or later.

It wasn’t that they didn’t realize this. A month and a half ago, the Shen Ying brothers had tried to destroy the five formation-breaking cannons with their men.

It was not realistic for them to come out and fight. If they had the ability, they would not have been trapped in Eagle Valley for so long. They had also thought of a diversion tactic, but it was to no avail.

The West Army of the sect leader’s line had suffered a loss, and the news had already come. How could the Lu clan suffer another loss?

Moreover, they still had Lu Qing, their ancestor, around.

Lu Qing knew very well which part of the story was real and which part was fake, and whether it was a diversion or a diversion.

When they were doing this, the Lu clan was still under the instructions of the old ancestor to beat them at their own game. They were prepared to capture the three tier 3 demonic Eagles in one fell swoop. Wouldn’t Eagle Valley be easy to capture then?

In the end, the three demonic Eagles were very cautious. They didn’t find an opportunity and immediately ran away.

Without a direct confrontation, it was hard to judge their combat strength, but from the way they retreated, they were really fast.

the three demonic Eagles managed to escape in the end. Only the weakest of them, the boss, was hit by Li Yanling’s Cloud Dragon when he was leaving. He was probably injured, but it was definitely not a serious injury.

The human cultivators felt a little regretful. They knew that this was a very good opportunity, but unfortunately, their side was not fully prepared. More importantly, the three godly Eagles had run too fast. By the time the human cultivators had reacted, only Li Yanling could rely on her profound cultivation to attack from a distance, and that was all.

But in fact, this was no big deal.

If he couldn’t catch it, he would at most be unable to end the battle faster and at a smaller price. It wouldn’t have much of an impact on the final outcome.

It had been three months since the attack on Eagle Valley, and it looked like they were about to break through.

The formation here was already in ruins. At this rate, it would not take more than three days before it would break.

Even Lu Qing had come to this conclusion.

The basis of his judgment was not only to observe the situation of the array from the outside. He could also observe the specific situation from the inside and from the position of the core of the array.

In fact, when necessary, he could even give up a large amount of karma and forcefully exchange for a few high-level battle exchange options. He could then use them on the core of the array. Sword talismans, lightning talismans, fire talismans, and the like, he would use three-star ones. Taking advantage of the formation-breaking cannons firing at the same time, he could smash the battle exchange items. He might be able to break the formation directly.

However, Lu Qing could not bear to do so.

If two or three of them were effective, then the hundreds of karma he would have spent would have been wasted. However, he estimated that if he wanted to achieve the effect of instantly destroying the formation, he would probably need two or three of them. He would need five or six of them to be more stable.

When the conquest mode was activated, Lu Qing had indeed spent karma to refresh some of the battle exchange options. He kept them with him in case he needed them. He had enough in the exchange tab, but he was a little reluctant to spend more than 1000 karma.

It was the same to attack slowly. It was just that it would take a little longer. There was nothing important about the current situation, so it didn’t matter if it was delayed.

However, Lu Qing had been feeling a little uneasy recently.

He thought about it carefully and concluded that this uneasiness might be due to the abnormal behavior of the three brothers in Eagle Valley.

Their abnormality lay in their defense.

This kind of defense was obviously meaningless. Lu Qing did not believe that they could not tell. Under the attacks of the human cultivators ‘formation-breaking cannons, they would definitely not be able to defend. Eagle Valley would be conquered sooner or later. with Li Yanling outside, they didn’t have the ability to kill their way in and destroy the cannon.

Then why were they still defending to the death?

Five months ago, the divine Deer Forest chose to defend to the death because they were counting on Eagle Valley to be their reinforcements. At that time, the five tier-three demonic beasts of the two families would be gathered together. Among them, there would be two peak tier-three existences. With the divine Deer forest’s protective array behind them, they would have the capital to defend for a long time.

But now, the divine Deer Forest had been destroyed and Eagle Valley had no strong reinforcements. What were they guarding?

Of course, he could not rule out the possibility that they would not think things through and would defend to the death. However, from Lu Qing’s point of view, the three Divine Eagle brothers were clearly not the kind of demons who were not smart.

Moreover, putting aside their direct combat strength, their race’s innate talent was there, and their speed was definitely the best among those of the same rank.

To them, the best solution was to find a way to break out of the encirclement and escape.

However, from Lu Qing’s point of view, the three of them did not seem to have any intention of doing so.

Not only that, but they also managed the internal affairs of Eagle Valley well.

In addition to the outermost protective array, the inside of the Eagle Valley was built into a fortress by more than 2000 demon race members. All kinds of small and independent array formations were engraved inside.

This was obviously done. After the protective array was broken, they would use the geographical advantage in Eagle Valley to continue fighting against the human cultivators.

Furthermore, when Lu Qing had snuck in and eavesdropped on the conversation between the three brothers, he had heard that the three of them were discussing how to defend the city to the death.

Lu Qing had a feeling that they had a motive for defending to the death.

He had searched for it a few times before, but he had not found any clues. He even tried to get more information from the three brothers ‘conversation, but it was to no avail.

To be fair, Lu Qing had his own problems as well.

For the past three months, he had been bored watching the siege battle. From time to time, he would switch back to Yuyan mountain and enter a normal state of cultivation.

During this period of time, he had basically familiarized himself with the nature star rising Art’s spiritual power attribute. He could probably use this new power system to fight without being too unfamiliar with it, which would cause him to be a burden.

However, it was precisely because he had not been on the battlefield for a long time that he was not as good at gathering information on the battlefield as before.

At this point, the attack on Eagle Valley was imminent. Lu Qing would not feel at ease if he did not clarify this matter.

He decided that in the next three days, he would go in and look for it.

And this time, he had gained something.

On the third day, which was the time when the Eagle Valley’s defensive formation was expected to be unable to hold on, Lu Qing heard the conversation between the three Eagle brothers.

“In half a year’s time, I’m afraid we won’t be able to hold on to Zhenzhen.”

“Hold on, hold on. There are still two months. We’ve already built an iron wall around the valley, so let the human cultivators attack inch by inch. Even if we have to sacrifice our lives, we’ll keep them trapped in the valley for two months.”

“As long as the two months are up, they’ll all be finished!”
