Chapter 260 Battle in Devil's Valley (IV)

The sneak attack is quick and the defeat is quick. But inside the camp, hovering above the young monk's head were more than a hundred golden-shelled monster insects the size of fists, with black mouthparts that were more than half a foot long.

The majestic ancient demonic aura emanated from the hundreds of insect clouds that were several feet in size, frightening all the monks and demonic soldiers standing nearby and not daring to move.

Zhu Junhao looked at the swarm of insects in the sky with a complicated expression, and then at the young man under the swarm. The faces of the people next to him were not much better. Only Hu Ruyan looked at Wu Yan with a strange look.

"Haha! I didn't expect Senior Brother Du to have such a powerful method. If Zhu can invite Senior Brother Du to take action, our army will win this battle!" Zhu Junhao's complicated expression disappeared in a flash, and his face was replaced by a sincere smile. He laughed loudly and said to Wu Yan, his voice was so loud that it immediately spread throughout the entire camp.

Hearing Zhu Junhao's words, Yuan Honglie suddenly woke up and seemed to realize something. Then he raised his arms and shouted: "The Poison Master is mighty! Our army will win!"

"The poison master is mighty! Our army will win!" The demon soldiers nearby were so excited by Yuan Honglie's repeated voice that they came to their senses and cheered.

"The Poison Master is mighty! Our army will win!"

…

Cheers followed from every surviving demon soldier. At this moment, everyone finally realized that although the first battle had suffered losses, it had defeated the opponent's sneak attack, which was considered a small victory. The demonic insects that had just attacked had been eliminated by our more powerful spiritual masters! This shows that our side also has extremely powerful people to protect us, and we may not lose the battle in the future. With such powerful spiritual masters and poison masters, what else is there to worry about in this battle? The demon soldiers had a simple idea and cheered happily.

Zhu Junhao glanced at Yuan Honglie with satisfaction and said: "Old Yuan, arrange for them to continue their previous work. I will discuss the next plan with the poison master and military advisor."

Yuan Honglie immediately responded, followed the order and left. After everyone dispersed, Zhu Junhao smiled bitterly at Wu Yan and said, "Brother Wu, it's so hard for you to hide this from me."

Wu Yan raised his hand to seal the secret, and with a slight movement of his eyes, he put all the mutated sky-swallowing insects into the spiritual insect bag. After careful counting, there were one hundred and one. Wu Yan's face moved slightly, and his spiritual consciousness invaded the spirit insect bag. After a moment, a mutated sky-swallowing insect was summoned from the spirit insect bag.

Wu Yan glanced towards the north, and then said calmly to Zhu Junhao: "I didn't mean to hide it from Mr. Zhu. These spirit insects were originally raised by me, and I have always carried them with me, but I have never had the opportunity to use them. That’s all. Besides, I didn’t expect this insect to have the ability to devour demonic insects.”

The corners of Zhu Junhao's eyes twitched slightly, but he still said with a smile on his face: "Haha, it seems that Zhu will have to treat Brother Wu as a powerful helper in the future. Monks like Brother Wu with powerful magic powers, Zhu will I need to rely on you more. I hope Brother Wu won’t blame Zhu for being naive before, right? Haha, this time, Zhu will definitely give you another generous gift as an apology for Zhu’s blindness. I hope Wu Brother, don’t refuse.”

Wu Yan groaned, seemingly indifferent to Zhu Junhao's words. He was frowning at the moment, looking at the carapace of the mutated sky-devouring insect in his hand.

Seeing him like this, Zhu Junhao and Hu Ruyan both looked puzzled, not understanding what he was doing.

"Mr. Zhu, Miss Ru Yan is indeed very good at predicting events. The Shadow Demon has led twenty demon captains from the Night Demon Camp and set off half an hour ago, along the valley road on the Longxi side, heading towards us. The camp is coming. If Miss Yan's prediction is true, we still have an hour and a half to deploy the ambush. Moreover, the Venerable Poison is coming with us. He is riding the Night Owl Beast with the Shadow Demon. I'm afraid I went to Longxi to poison him." Wu Yan's face suddenly changed slightly, he put away the mutated sky-swallowing insect, and then said to the two of them.

"What? Is that true? Brother Wu, how do you know their whereabouts and arrangements?" Zhu Junhao exclaimed, but Hu Ruyan glanced meaningfully at the spirit insect bag in Wu Yan's hand and said nothing.

Wu Yan smiled calmly and said: "Before I came here, I secretly attached a few spiritual insects like the ones just now to the opponent's demon soldiers. The one spirit insect that has just returned has attached to me There is a trace of spiritual consciousness on it, so I can know their deployment below."

Of course this is not the case. After Wu Yan met Jin Renfeng, he had already agreed on the communication method after entering Devil's Valley. In case things changed and it was difficult to spread the news in time, Wu Yan sealed ten mutated sky-devouring insects with special techniques and handed them over to Jin Renfeng. Once something happens, Jin Renfeng will release the insect as soon as possible and inform Wu Yan of the news. Naturally, Wu Yan would not mention this matter to anyone. This is a matter of life and death for Jin Renfeng.

Zhu Junhao's expression was mixed. What he was happy about was that he didn't expect Wu Yan to have such a secret plan, but what was worrying was that he knew that the other party had sent Shadow Demon and Venerable Poison to sneak attack. He even knew the route clearly, but when he wanted to set up an ambush, he couldn't do it at all. There is no force that can compete with this surprise attack team.

The Shadow Demon has a cultivation level in the late Golden Core stage. His magical powers are most famous for his escape skills, followed by the Night Owl Beast under his crotch. This beast is a sixth-level demonic beast, and its strength is comparable to A monk in the middle stage of Bijindan. The twenty Night Demon Lieutenants under his command are all elite men, all of them have the strength of the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, and all of them are brave and good at fighting.

Even if he sent out a team of 100, they might not be able to defeat such an elite team. Previously, Zhu Junhao had discussed the ambush in detail, but he had guessed based on common sense that Shadow Demon should bring in at most 10 Night Demon Lieutenants. But now, judging from the number given by Wu Yan, they actually had 20 people, which was twice as many as he had imagined. This obviously exceeded his expectations by a lot, so he was so worried.

"Ruyan, what do you think we should do?" Zhu Junhao pondered for a moment, and a bitter smile uglier than crying appeared on his face. This Violet wanted to torture him to death. I'm afraid that there might be some secret instructions from his elder brother. Thinking of this, Zhu Junhao's anger and sorrow in his heart can be imagined.

Although the command of the Night Demon Camp was in the hands of Violet, the dispatch of two teams of Night Demon Camp demon lieutenants was a big deal for the Demon Mansion. It must be approved by the commander of the commander's office. Otherwise, it would violate the military law of the Demon Mansion and be dismissed according to the law. Zhu Junhao was familiar with the laws of the Demon Mansion, so how could he not see it.

"Of course we have to set up an ambush. Since we already know that the other party has launched this surprise attack and know their marching route, we have to ambush them even if we use half of our strength. It would be best if we can wipe them out completely. Even if we can't, as long as we can take the opportunity to kill the shadow demon, it is worth taking some risks." Hu Ruyan said in a very affirmative tone.

"Okay, let's take a risk this time. Only Uncle Fu and a hundred flag soldiers will continue to deploy the camp here, and everyone else will be an ambush to kill the shadow demon!" Zhu Junhao made a cold decision after a little thought. Now time is urgent and he can't think more.

Then, he immediately summoned Yuan Honglie and Zhu Jiufu and briefly explained the plan to them. The two learned the seriousness of the situation and also agreed with this move. Therefore, after a little calm, the Zhu side camp began to gather and mobilize again.

Wu Yan pondered for a while, and then proposed to Zhu Junhao that he wanted to go ahead alone. Zhu Junhao's face immediately became a little ugly when he heard him say so. After all, it seems that Wu Yan's magical power is the most powerful and effective in the entire Zhu side camp. If Wu Yan is not there in this ambush, I am afraid that even if the ambush is successful, it will eventually cause great losses to our side.

However, after Wu Yan proposed to him that he would go to Longxi to solve the poisoning of the Poison Venerable, and then quickly return to attack them from the front and back, Zhu Junhao agreed with great joy.

After the two of them initially agreed on the location of the ambush, they each took action.

Given the speed of the demon soldiers, the ambush site should not be too far away, otherwise they would most likely run into the Shadow Demon and Night Demon Captain during the march. If they were too close, it would easily arouse the other party's suspicion, so everyone set the ambush site on a floating bridge where the tributary of Longxi River and the valley intersected.

This place is a must-go place for the surprise attack team of the North Camp. Other places are difficult to walk due to the complex terrain and unclear roads.

Wu Yan used the unique skill of Fengyinbu all the way out of the camp, and his body turned into a fast-running shadow, disappearing from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Zhu Junhao, Hu Ruyan and others saw that Wu Yan actually had such a strange land escape method, and immediately showed a strange look on their faces.

Now, Wu Yan seemed to be more and more mysterious and more and more difficult to see through in everyone's mind. Wu Yan's escape did not concern others much, but Zhu Junhao's face was a little gloomy.

However, time was so tight that everyone had no time to think about other things. They used their own methods and quickly headed north along the valley road.

Wu Yan was concerned about another matter at this time, so as soon as he left the camp, he started to escape at the maximum speed and rushed north along the valley passage.

After a few moments, a deep stream about dozens of feet wide stretched in front of them. On the stream, a simple bridge built with floating wood appeared in front of them.

This must be Longxi. It is said that this stream originated from the interior of Mount Kongjin. Because its water flow passes through the roots of the Soul-Nourishing Ancestral Tree, this water has the effect of connecting to the underworld, and is also called Longxi Underworld Spring. After the Soul-Nourishing Ancestral Tree died, this water also lost its effect of connecting to the underworld and returned to the form of magic water. However, although this water has various anomalies, it does not affect its efficacy as a drink. Moreover, drinking this water is even very beneficial for cultivators who practice magic and demonic arts.

When walking in this water, one cannot send out spiritual consciousness, otherwise the spiritual consciousness will be swallowed by this water. When Wu Yan walked to the edge of the stream, he saw that the water was deep and dark, and there was a trace of demonic energy above the water. His expression changed slightly, and he plunged into the water. Not even a wave was raised, and he disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.
