Thousand Peaks Forest.
On the edge of the battlefield.
In an uninhabited valley, there is a hidden thatched hut.
Lin Bufan was sitting on a low stool made of wooden stakes in the open space in front of the thatched cottage, leisurely sipping tea and watching the distant mountains under the clear sky.
There was a ripple in the air, and then Zhu Xuanji's figure penetrated the illusion magic circle and appeared in front of Lin Bufan.
Lin Bufan was slightly stunned, and then put down the cup.
Since he was "caught" by Zhu Xuanji and caught by the latter, the two of them secretly arranged many camps.
Here is just one of them.
Lin Bufan likes the scenery here, so he often lives here.
As for Zhu Xuanji, the dragon sees the beginning and the end, and rarely stays in these secret camps.
Lin Bufan knew very well: According to the national conditions of the two countries, Nandou Kingdom must have a connection with Qianfeng Lin. Zhu Xuanji was dispatched here to keep in close contact with the pro-Nandou forces in the Qianfeng Forest. Even, there are people and forces hidden in the Thousand Peaks Forest that Nandou Kingdom personally planted.
The new army of the two Zhu countries, the dispatch of Du Tiechuan, and the conquest of Qianfeng Forest, from the beginning, were not a matter of the two Zhu countries themselves, but involved other countries.
When Lin Bufan saw Zhu Xuanji coming to him, he understood that there was something important and he needed to do it himself.
Sure enough, Zhu Xuanji threw a jade slip to him.
Divine consciousness.
The jade slip floated in front of Lin Bufan and slowly fell onto the latter's outstretched palm.
Lin Bufan's consciousness swept away, and a strange look suddenly appeared: "I didn't expect that the first thing I had to do was related to this kid Ning Zhuo."
The latest information in the jade slip records that Ning Zhuo is going on an expedition with the army, attacking the ten-mile burning forest.
Zhu Xuanji said: "Ning Zhuo's safety involves the ownership of the Fire Persimmon Immortal City, so it is very implicated and cannot be lost."
"Lin Daoyou might as well go and protect him secretly. The three generals camp is irrelevant, it only needs to ensure Ning Zhuo's life and freedom."
Lin Bufan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This kid still doesn't know that he has been targeted by the old monster in the stone and the two ghosts of heaven and earth."
"The old monster in the stone is suspected of being a god-level, the city is extremely deep, and its whereabouts are extremely mysterious."
"The two ghosts of heaven and earth are the strong men of the Soul Eater Sect, their reputation spreads far and wide, and they are famous in all countries. According to Ning Zhuo's current combat strength, even if there is the help of the organ army, against the two ghosts of heaven and earth, he will definitely die!"
"If I were him, I would definitely huddle in the frontline camp obediently."
Speaking of this, Lin Bufan picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and sighed: "Alas, this errand is not easy to handle."
Zhu Xuanji smiled and said: "The cooperation between the Ning family and your Wan Yao Sect is also very close, and I also heard that Miss Lin from your family has a very close relationship with Ning Zhuo."
"Maybe in the future, you will still be a family."
Lin Bufan suddenly stared: "Don't say this!"
"This kid Ning Zhuo has a family, and he married the heir to the general's mansion of a country. Tsk tsk......"
Lin Bufan looked at Zhu Xuanji and said with a slight mockery: "Speaking of which, since Ning Zhuo appeared in Canglin Immortal City, he has repeatedly stated in public that he has a marriage contract with your Zhu family. Now, if he makes this happen, doesn't your Zhu family have any indication?"
"This kid......" Zhu Xuanji shook his head and laughed.
He didn't expose Ning Zhuo's rumors, and he wasn't even angry.
Because he was in the Fire Persimmon Immortal City, he deeply appreciated Ning Zhuo's forbearance, cunning and disguise ability.
Seeing that there was no information to spy on, Lin Bufan drank all the tea in the cup and stood up: "The ugly words are ahead, whether it is the two ghosts of heaven and earth, or the old monster in the stone, I can't beat it."
"When necessary, I will abandon Ning Zhuo and protect myself."
Zhu Xuanji nodded: "Of course."
"If Ning Zhuo is damaged here, he will also be killed."
"You put your own protection first."
"As for your action this time, as well as the rewards you may have in the future, just ask Ning Zhuo for it. This kid can now fund the Three Generals Camp and the Red Flower Camp, but he is so rich."
Lin Bufan nodded, got up immediately, left this secret camp, and rushed to the Ten-Mile Burning Forest.
He was invisible and flying at low altitude, but he was pondering every word of Zhu Xuanji just now, as well as the change in expression.
"I used to think that the marriage between Ning Zhuo and the Zhu family was just his boasting. But Zhu Xuanji didn't deny it just now."
"Moreover, although Zhu Xuanji said the words 'hit is a dead end', it made me feel that he has a lot of confidence in Ning Zhuo!"
"Weird."
"Although Ning Zhuo is highly talented and full of potential, in this situation, why is Zhu Xuanji still full of confidence in him?"
Near the front line camp of the two countries.
The two ghosts of heaven and earth lurked in the dark corners, as quiet as mountains and rocks.
One by one, the ghosts returned to the two of them from time to time to make detailed reports.
"Huh?" Suddenly, the white-clothed ghost cultivator Tian Shuang raised his eyebrows slightly, and immediately conveyed the message to the black-clothed ghost cultivator Earth Gray Divine Consciousness beside him, "I learned the news from the alliance. The three generals' battalion suddenly left the camp and went to conquer the ten-mile burning forest."
Dihui immediately reacted: "This kid Ning Zhuo is also among them?"
Tian Shuang: "There is no explanation in the intelligence."
When the two ghosts of heaven and earth returned to the frontline battlefield, they happened to miss the expedition of the three generals' camp.
After all, they were outsiders, and apart from the results of their own detection, the information they obtained was basically second-hand from the alliance. Therefore, there is a delay in time.
Di Hui thought for a while and said: "If Ning Zhuo is always huddled in the camp, we can't do anything about him."
"Now is a good opportunity!"
"Regardless of whether he goes on an expedition with the army or not, this opportunity is enough for us to set off and go find out."
Tian Shuang: "I think so too."
"The only concern is that if Ning Zhuo stays in the camp. After the two of us left this place, he went out alone to harvest ginseng dragon beards. Didn't we miss an opportunity?"
Earth Ash thought for a while and immediately shook his head: "The Thousand Peaks Forest contains god-level combat power, and the two of us must not be separated at will. Then choose one, I suggest leaving here and going to the Ten Mile Burning Forest."
"Even if I wait for the emptiness, I can destroy the three generals' camp and lose most of the strength around Ning Zhuo."
Unexpectedly, Tian Shuang shook his head: "It's not appropriate."
"This kid Ning Zhuo has good methods, hooked up with Mu Lan and became husband and wife."
"If the Three Generals Camp is destroyed by us, Ning Zhuo will most likely join the Red Flower Camp. The Red Flower Camp can conclude a battle formation, but it is much more difficult to deal with than the Three Generals Battalion."
Di Hui was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "That's right. So what should we do next......"
Before the ground ash finished speaking, a flying letter was conveyed.
The two ghosts of heaven and earth immediately noticed and quickly accepted the flying letter.
"Oh? Someone is interested in the triple treasure we showcase, and they want to join forces to get the treasure!"
"I didn't expect there to be three infant monks, one of whom is the Red Sleeve Fairy."
For this female cultivator who has the magical power of moving mountains, the two ghosts of heaven and earth also attach great importance to it.
As a result, the balance in their hearts immediately tilted heavily, and they tended to stay here.
After all, staying here, they have a chance to harvest three treasures. Even if they fail to collect heavy treasures, they will be expelled by the main forces of the Two Zhu Kingdoms, and they will still have a chance to obtain the souls of their companions.
In comparison, Ning Zhuo was only building a mere foundation, even if he had the combat power of the Golden Pill, and even the means of mastering the strange path, there was no need to worry in the hearts of the two ghosts of heaven and earth.
The reason why they accepted this sect task was just because they thought it was convenient to come to Qianfeng Forest.
Ten miles of burned forest. The soldiers of the three generals' battalion cheered in unison, and their morale rose by 10%.
The rat and mayfly groups all took the initiative to retreat, allowing them to win the first contact battle and become more confident.
Liu Guan and Zhang Ning did not show a trace of pride.
They knew the information well: the tinder rats and red mayfly groups in the Ten-Mile Burning Forest were specially raised, but they were not used for defensive operations, but for auxiliary refining tools.
The tinder rat belongs to the scavenger and has a wide range of recipes, not only can eat the bursting bark and roots, but also swallow the scraps left over from large-scale refining, etc.
After they die, the indigestible debris left in their bodies can be further refined and often obtained as treasures.
The red refining mayfly group is a group of mayflies that when monks need to depict formations or talismans when refining weapons, they will attract a group of mayflies. Through the control of divine consciousness, the mayflies fell on top of the magic weapon or magic weapon, arranged in the shape of a talisman or magic circle. By sacrificing one mayfly by one and branding it, it quickly became a talisman and formed a formation.
"This is just a temptation of the enemy. The whole army obeys orders and continues to move forward!" Liu Er waited until the whole army cheered for a while before shouting loudly.
The whole army continued to move forward.
After walking another two miles, the soldiers had to stop.
！
The surrounding flames suddenly changed drastically, turning into walls of fire, surrounding the entire army.
Subsequently, these walls of fire burned higher and higher, reaching the sky and the ground, forming a canopy, like a huge crimson bowl being buckled upside down, covering the three generals' camps in the bowl.
The soldiers panicked and commotion, but seeing that the three generals Liu Guan and Zhang were calm, they also recovered quickly.
The Flowing Flame Fairy who presided over the magic circle was in front of the Suzaku incense burner, going all out to mobilize the power of the large formation.
Immediately, a huge pattern of Suzaku appeared on the sky.
The temperature of the surrounding air rises rapidly.
Flames hit the three generals' camp, and the ground became hot, and countless flames emerged.
The flames grew rapidly and turned into a land of flames.
The entire Three Generals Battalion was in the sea of fire, and the frost and white talismans on their bodies were quickly consumed.
Seeing this, Liu Er immediately ordered: "Turn into an iron barrel formation!"
Guan Hong and Zhang Hei immediately cooperated and both used the art of war.
Soldiers are fast!
The soldiers became very agile and generally calm, and few made mistakes.
Soon, the iron barrel formation was successfully concluded.
Once the battle formation was completed, it immediately exerted strong protection on the entire army. The soldiers immediately felt that the temperature had dropped a lot, and the consumption rate of frost white on their bodies had also decreased a lot.
morale stabilized again.
However, the soldiers could still feel that the surrounding temperature was still slowly rising, and the frost white talismans they were protecting were still wearing out, but the speed was more than three times slower than before.
Liu Guan and Zhang Ning immediately realized that they would lose for a long time.
Zhang Hei had an impatient temperament, took the lead in making a move, and once again swung the black snake spear, using the art of war to press the army.
The black water soldiers emerged again, but before they could reach the red fire sky, they were melted halfway.
Guan Hong waved the blood dragon knife in his hand, released a huge blade, and slashed on the sky.
The canopy swayed for a while and quickly stabilized.
Liu Er held the Xuanhuang Sword and did not make a move.
The three generals each have their own focus, and Guan Hong's attack methods are often restrained and the most concentrated. The current situation is just right to break the surface with points.
In comparison, even if Liu Er makes a move, it may not be able to have such a good effect. Military power is precious, although it can be quickly restored, but it consumes the combat power, physical strength, etc. of the soldiers.
Guan Hong continued to shoot, slashing three times in a row, causing a huge gap in the sky.
Seeing this, Liu Er took advantage of Guan Hong's breath to make up for it.
This sword was just right, breaking through the limit of the heavenly curtain and splitting it.
The canopy directly dissipated.
The soldiers cheered again and were able to continue their march.
The reason why the Ten Mile Burning Forest is so named makes sense. The distance between its front and back is almost ten miles.
But the three generals' battalion didn't need to walk ten miles, they only needed to march five miles, and they could almost break through to the center and see the fire crown god fir.
This sacred tree is the tree king in the Ten-Mile Burning Forest, an iconic giant tree.
The three generals' camp had already traveled three miles, and only the last two miles remained.
However, the next journey is steeply difficult.
Fire curtains occurred one after another, covering the three generals' camp, making their actions very difficult.
Although Guan Hong was able to split the fire, such frequent attacks also caused him great consumption.
He was at the level of Jindan and was already exhausted, especially the rest of the soldiers.
The closer you get to the center of the burning forest, the more vigorous the flames are, the higher the temperature, and the consumption of the three generals' camp increases rapidly.
Everyone replenished the talisman more and more often, and the soldiers consumed most of their physical strength, even though they ate some pills and military rations halfway, their physical strength was still beyond their means.
When it was about to approach four miles, a loud bell suddenly sounded.
The bell vibrated, stirring up the flames.
The soldiers' armor, talismans, and even weapons all cracked and quickly disintegrated.
In a crisis of the situation, Liu Er hurriedly used the art of war to defend the territory and consolidate the foundation, gaining critical time.
Taking advantage of this time, the soldiers hurriedly replenished the talismans, and Ning Zhuo also cast spells to alleviate the predicament as much as possible.
In the difficult process of resisting the bell, Ning Zhuo's thoughts changed rapidly, and his spiritual light crossed the sea of gods like lightning, and he exclaimed: "Could it be Tiangong forging music scores?!"
Zhang Hei: "What?"
Guan Hong also looked puzzled.
Liu Er's eyes lit up: "That's right, this is the method."
Yan Jin, who majored in Tiangong forging music scores, was the chief craftsman of the Ten-Mile Burning Forest. At this moment, he stood in front of a huge bronze bell, and every time he waved his fist, he slapped it fiercely, inspiring a mighty sound.
The bell can forge iron and steel, and use the three generals as minerals for refining!
The three generals' camp was in trouble, and Liu Guan and Zhang Sanjiang were helpless.
Because the bell is difficult to defend, they can't change the situation of being passively beaten.
"Through a series of fires, we delayed our march. and then use the bell to forge the sound to kill me and others." Ning Zhuo looked around and saw that many soldiers were bleeding from their mouths and noses.
This is because their internal organs can't bear the bell and are already bleeding a lot.
"Tiangong forging music score is a method of refining weapons, which expands its power through the big bell. As long as you destroy the big bell, you should be able to resolve this trick."
"According to the information, the forest chief of the Ten Mile Burning Forest is the Primordial Infant Monk Luo Chen. He never showed up."
"The march of the three generals' battalion is slow, and it needs to be supported and defended through the iron barrel formation, and if it is replaced with other battle formations, it will be suicidal. Once they leave the iron barrel formation and go to destroy the big bell, they will inevitably be attacked by Luo Chen."
"It's time for me to go out."
Ning Zhuo thought of this and turned the mechanism ring.
The ring did not respond.
He immediately reached into the storage belt and took out the mechanical dolls one by one.
The Mechanical Army is here!
