The Devil's Tribulation

Chapter 510 Preparing for the decisive battle

The black stone forest in the world of dead bones.

Shangguan Heng and his team have already penetrated into the center of the stone forest, which is also the most dangerous place in the black stone forest.

The team that originally had more than 300 people now has less than 200 people left. Some of them died in the space cracks, and some of them disappeared inexplicably.

Shangguan Heng sat on a black rock, in a daze. Recently, Shangguan Heng often had this expression. Everyone knew what was going on, because Pan Chengfeng had not returned for half a year.

Shangguan Kui, the uncle of Shangguan Heng, said with some concern: "Heng'er, don't think too much. You still have to lead the team."

Recently, due to Shangguan Heng's poor condition, the team is temporarily led by Shangguan Kui, and many clansmen and children have been killed or injured.

Shangguan Heng sighed and said, "I see. I'm sorry to bother Uncle Kui recently. By the way, how are the sisters?"

Shangguan Kui smiled bitterly and said, "It's the same as you. You're absent-minded all day long. If no one was watching, something would have happened a long time ago."

Shangguan Heng remembered what Pan Chengfeng had told him, and blamed himself, "It's my fault. My junior brother told me to take good care of them. Now..."

"Uncle Kui, cousin! It's bad!" Shangguan Ping hurried over and said anxiously: "Uncle Kui, cousin, they are coming, at least hundreds of thousands of people, if we don't move, we will be surrounded by them."

Hearing this, Shangguan Heng frowned and asked, "Which sects are there? Are there any people from our Yu Lei Sect?"

Shangguan Ping said angrily, "Yes! How could there not be? Several teams from the Yu and Ye families came in, and they were followed by teams from many sects."

Shangguan Heng took a deep breath and said, "Let's continue to go deeper. There are so many of them. The deeper we go, the more disadvantageous it will be for them."

Shangguan Kui said worriedly, "We have already encountered a demon plant. Although it was only in the early sixth level of body refinement, we paid a heavy price to kill it. If we go deeper, if we encounter a demon plant above the late sixth level of body refinement, we will be in danger ourselves."

Shangguan Heng said coldly: "I would rather run into a demon plant than run into those 'people'."

Shangguan Heng pulled himself together again, stood up and said, "Let the disciples who are looking for treasure come back, we will set off immediately~"

Although Shangguan Heng was on the run all the way, he did not delay looking for opportunities. The team has obtained a lot of rare resources such as ores, spirit stones, etc.

The most important thing is a demon plant heart, which is the main ingredient for refining the Hedao Pill. The Hedao Pill is a magical pill for refining the void and advancing to the fusion stage.

The team gathered quickly, but found that two more disciples were missing. Shangguan Heng did not hesitate and immediately led the team forward.

The spiritual consciousness is restricted here, but Shangguan Heng can now use the spiritual perception to a preliminary extent.

In addition to being able to detect cracks, his soul can also sense abnormalities of many unknown dangers, and thus lead the team to avoid danger.

But the people behind him were not so lucky. A group of people, hundreds of thousands of monks, chased Shangguan Heng's team and entered the deepest part of the black stone forest together.

Deep in the black stone forest, there is a vast world full of swamps, strange beasts, and demonic plants hiding deep underground.

Shangguan Heng led the team on a journey without stopping for a month. Even when they encountered monsters, they retreated immediately and left them to the cultivators behind.

Seeing Shangguan Heng running like this, Shangguan Kui couldn't help but persuade him: "Heng'er, most of the team has been killed or injured. If you keep running like this, even if they catch up with us, we will be finished."

Shangguan Heng heard this, but did not stop, and said calmly: "We have suffered heavy losses, and the people behind us have suffered even greater losses. Otherwise, their numbers alone would have overwhelmed us."

Shangguan Heng is now very clear about what he is doing. There are only fifty or so people left in his team. The cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage who can still survive here depend on their looks, except for a few beauties.

Another month passed, and when there were only forty people left in the team, Shangguan Heng stopped.

None of the nine members of Pan Chengfeng's team were missing, Shangguan Heng had taken special care of this. The remaining thirty-one members were all cultivators at the peak of the Void Refining Stage.

Shangguan Heng looked at his people and said with some guilt: "For the sake of the demon grass, you have followed me deep into the black stone forest for three months. If I can get out alive, I will take good care of you and the dead people..."

"Young Master! When we came here, we had already explained the situation to our family. They already considered us dead. We are saving our lives if we can go back. Young Master, don't blame yourself!" Chao Qi said out loud what everyone was thinking, and everyone nodded.

The people carefully cultivated by his own family are different from those in the sect. Although they are all practicing in the Yu Lei Sect, they are all members or servants of the Shangguan family, and their loyalty is extremely high.

Shangguan Heng took a deep breath and said slowly: "Okay, I won't be so hypocritical anymore. This is where we will have a decisive battle with them!"

Shangguan Heng turned around and looked at the other nine people and said, "You guys find a place to hide. If we are lucky enough to survive, there is no need to say more. If we lose, with Fairy Xin'er here, they will not embarrass you."

Xin'er was the Beast Taming Sect's treasure. If she died for other reasons, Liu Qian would at most be sad.

If you are killed by a cultivator, Liu Qian is not Shangguan Yun. She doesn't care about any rules and will definitely fight you to the death.

Xin'er asked blankly: "Brother Shangguan, you said Chengfeng would come back, where is Chengfeng?"

The other two girls also looked at Shangguan Heng expectantly. Shangguan Heng chuckled and said, "Junior Brother Pan is a man of great luck. Nothing will happen to him. You should take good care of yourselves. Otherwise, when Junior Brother comes back and sees you like this, how can I explain to him?"

The girls nodded silently. Shangguan Heng suddenly cast a ban and whispered to Xin'er, "There is a demon-companion grass in here. It was given to you by Junior Brother Pan." Then he handed Xin'er a jade box.

Just as Xin'er was about to open it, Shangguan Heng quickly stopped her and said, "Don't open it. Only you and I know about this. Don't let anyone see it."

After Shangguan Heng finished explaining, he turned around and said, "There is a demon plant in the east. If my sense is correct, it should be a demon plant at the peak of the sixth level of body refinement!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Shangguan Heng told others his plan without giving them a chance to speak.

There are more than thirty of them who have to fight against at least tens of thousands of Void-Refining Monks. How can they do that without a plan?

The first thing is to occupy advantageous terrain, then set up a battle formation, attack the enemy unexpectedly, catch them off guard, and then engage in guerrilla warfare.

After discussing for a long time, they decided on a strategy. However, there was no other way. Time waits for no one. The monks behind them would catch up in one day. They also had to set up formations and explore the nearby routes and terrain.

Yun Feiyang saw Pang Qiaoqiao helping them set up the formation and wanted to help, but was persuaded by Hei Kun. Hei Kun's reasoning was that one more person would not make much difference, and one less person would not make much difference. No matter how powerful Yun Feiyang was, he could only be a Void Refining cultivator at best, so it was better to keep him useful for the future.
