Chapter 157 Offensive
The earth-fire array exploded one after another, dazzling like fireworks. The Qian family monks were crying and running around, and it was very lively.
Mo Hua, who had eaten and drunk enough, nodded, very satisfied.
There were other demon hunters watching at the entrance of the mine, and they cheered when they saw the miserable state of the Qian family monks.
"Good explosion!"
"Explode louder!"
The annoyance of being attacked and harassed by the Qian family for days was swept away.
Elder Yu was also very happy and scolded the Qian family from top to bottom.
Now the demon hunters were relieved, and the pressure came to the Qian family monks.
Fight or not?
If they fight, they will be blown to pieces, and if they don't fight, it means they will hand over the spiritual mine to others.
In any case, it is unacceptable to the Qian family.
The next day, the Qian family cleaned up the battlefield and carried the wounded back for treatment.
Originally, there were many injuries, but not many deaths.
But some injured monks were intercepted by monsters on their way back.
The monsters smelled the blood and found them. The seriously injured monks of the Qian family were eaten by monsters as soon as they left the battlefield.
Qian Hong, the head of the Qian family, was furious and ordered that the spiritual mine must be taken down no matter what!
The Qian family man who received the order felt pressured and could only think hard in a camp outside the nameless peak.
The man's name was Qian Zhuang. He was a direct descendant of the Qian family, but not Qian Hong's branch, so Qian Hong let him do this kind of battle.
This just happened to suit his mind. Although he was a direct descendant, he was not valued in the clan and his future was unpredictable.
If he could capture the spiritual mine this time, the family would definitely look at him with new eyes and reward him with some spiritual stones and elixirs, so he would have a chance to build his foundation.
As long as he became a foundation-building monk, he could get the position of elder and call the shots in the Qian family.
The power of the Qian family elders was great, but the promotion was also very strict.
Either you have foundation building skills, or you have high attainments in formations, alchemy, and refining, or you hold an important position in the sect or the Daoting Division, or you have made outstanding contributions to the family.
Qian Zhuang does not meet any of the other conditions. If he wants to be an elder, there is only one way, which is to become a foundation building cultivator.
So he must capture this spiritual mine, otherwise not only will it be useless, but there will also be a serious fault!
All cultivators in the family are considered relatives, so it is equivalent to not being relatives.
Those who cannot bring benefits to the family are useless.
Qian Zhuang does not want to be a useless person. He wants to capture the spiritual mine and step on these demon hunters to climb to a higher position in the Qian family.
After a while, a disciple of the Qian family came in and reported:
"Brother, the brothers have seen it. What exploded last night was the formation!"
Qian Zhuang frowned, "Formation? These country bumpkins actually know how to use formations?"
"Yes!"
Qian Zhuang frowned even deeper.
He couldn't help but think, when they attacked before, were there also formations drawn on those uncut vine armors?
"What formation?"
"A disciple went back to the clan and asked Master Qian, and Master Qian said that it looked like an earth and fire formation."
Master Qian was a formation master of the Qian family. Although he was not at the first level, it was only a matter of time. Others praised him and called him "Master".
"Earth and fire formation? What level?"
"Seven formation patterns."
Qian Zhuang's expression turned cold, "There are actually seven formation patterns, no wonder."
Seven formation patterns can hurt cultivators in the late stage of Qi Refining. If several are superimposed together, the power will be even stronger.
Qian Zhuang was angry in his heart, and couldn't help but sneer: "There are actually formation masters who will help these poor ghosts!"
He didn't believe that these poor casual cultivators could afford the price and hire a formation master.
This formation master probably signed a spiritual contract with them, and after the matter was completed, he could share the spiritual stones in the spiritual mine.
The world is bustling, people come and go for profit, and this formation master is no exception.
The disciple said: "Brother, what should we do next."
Qian Zhuang said: "It doesn't matter, he is just a seven-pattern formation master, it's nothing."
How many formations can a formation master draw?
There was a bomb last night, and it is estimated that a lot of earth and fire formations were used. He didn't believe that there would be earth and fire formations to bomb them tonight.
Mo Hua really can't draw too many, only seven or eight sets of earth and fire formations a day.
But Mo Hua still has a lot of ordinary earth and fire formations, all of which are previous stocks.
Originally, these earth and fire formations were reserved for the demon hunters in the middle stage of Qi Refining to set traps and hunt demon beasts.
The demon hunters and the Qian family are at odds, and Elder Yu has stopped the demon hunters from entering the Great Black Mountain to hunt demons, so Mo Hua has a lot of earth and fire formations in his hands, and now it's just time to clear the stock.
So the disciples of the Qian family were in trouble.
The Qian family was bombed on the first night.
The second night, it was bombed again.
On the third and fourth days, they were bombed again.
Qian Zhuang was furious, and then he got angry. He wanted to know how many sets of earth fire formations these monster hunters had.
But the disciples of the Qian family refused to accept it.
Although stepping on the earth fire formation might not kill you, you would definitely be injured. It would be easy for monsters to intercept you when you go down the mountain and kill you.
Therefore, many Qian family monks began to retreat, and only wandered on the edge, not daring to go to the Earth Fire Formation.
Qian Zhuang knew that something was wrong, so he said passionately:
"Brothers, we have been attacking for four days. They can't have so many formations. Now they are probably exhausted..."
"We are just one step away. We must not fail! Otherwise, all the sacrifices will be in vain!"
"As long as we attack and occupy the spiritual mine, the head of the family will definitely reward us heavily!"
The Qian family monks were inspired and set foot on the mountain road again.
Then they fled in the firelight of the Earth Fire Formation again and returned in defeat.
Mo Hua stood on the mountainside, looking at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but respect the Qian family monk who was commanding.
He actually took human lives to consume his formation inventory. He is really a ruthless person!
At this time, Qian Zhuang, who was watching this scene, almost vomited blood.
How can there be formations?
Do you have ten hands? Can you draw so many formations?
Looking at the long stretch of rugged mountains with lush vegetation in front of him.
Qian Zhuang was in a state of shock.
But the morale of the people was low in a short period of time, and they could not attack again. The Qian family could only stop once again.
The demon hunters repelled the Qian family's attack without wasting a single soldier.
Elder Yu looked at Mo Hua with a more amiable expression, which made Yu Chengyi, his son, feel very uncomfortable.
His father had never had a good face for him, and his face was sour and hard, like a stone for pickling pickles.
After a few days of rest, the demon hunters were in a much better state and looked more relaxed.
Mo Hua suddenly thought of a question and asked Elder Yu worriedly:
"What should we do if the Qian family sends a foundation-building cultivator?"
"What should we do?"
Mo Hua was slightly surprised, "Shouldn't a foundation-building cultivator be very powerful?"
Elder Yu nodded, "Foundation-building cultivators are indeed powerful, but they are not absolutely invincible."
Mo Hua frowned, not quite understanding.
Elder Yu looked at Mo Hua and explained:
"The cultivation of a foundation-building cultivator is roughly equivalent to that of ten late-stage Qi-refining cultivators. If there is only one, or even five or six late-stage Qi-refining cultivators, they will have no chance of winning against a foundation-building cultivator. Because they can't hold out for a few moves..."
"But if there are more than ten late-stage Qi-refining cultivators with rich fighting experience, and they fight against a foundation-building cultivator, the outcome is unknown. In the end, it is likely that injuries will be exchanged for injuries, lives for lives, and ten lives for one. If the Qi-refining cultivators are all dead, even if the foundation-building cultivator does not die in the end, he will be seriously injured and dying."
"If there are dozens or even hundreds of late-stage Qi-refining cultivators, the foundation-building cultivator will be worn out to death as long as he can't run away."
"As the saying goes, even a tiger is afraid of a pack of wolves, which is what it means."
Mo Hua suddenly realized.
Five is even more tiring~
