Chapter 243 Failure
Chapter 243 Failure
Before he knew it, it was already night, and Ye Moshu and his party also came to the small town to the west. At this moment, because it was late at night, there was no one on the streets and alleys.
"Wow, we've just crossed the Danube?!"
Zifeng opened her mouth in disbelief, her heart filled with shock.
A group of people were standing on the bridge across the Danube River, looking at the rolling Danube River under their feet, they were both surprised and happy.
At first, they thought that they would go through many things before they could arrive safely, but they never expected that they would arrive so easily.
"Wahhaha, hurry up, let's go, let's go to the next fortress!"
Several people got off the bridge and came to the small town on the other side of the river. They looked at each other with relief, and when they were about to move on, an accident happened.
"Kill~"
Just when the few people entered the town, the whole town suddenly burst into flames, and a dense army of demons came out of the room in the town, and when they came, there were also many troops on the side. When they came out, the demon armies on both sides lit the torches, illuminating the entire river brightly, and surrounded them in the middle.
Seeing this, everyone was taken aback. Ye Moshu and his party immediately turned pale, everyone trembled, and their hearts were terrified!
You know, they are all cultivators. Even at night, their eyesight is very good. Naturally, they can be found at a glance. They have been surrounded by an army of no less than ten million demons!You know, there are tens of millions of demons!Even if their strength is not high, Ye Moshu and the others can't deal with too many ants killing elephants!
"It's over, it's over, we're dead now!"
Everyone was crying, frowning, and uncomfortable, and their hearts were extremely depressed.
You know, let alone tens of millions of demons, even if there are only millions of monsters, they are difficult to deal with, let alone tens of millions?
"What should we do now!"
Everyone looked flustered, neither standing nor sitting, and didn't know what to do, because they all knew, because they were already surrounded by others, and even if they wanted to escape, it was impossible. The only plan now is to fight these demons!
"Hmph, what are you afraid of, just be positive, don't be cowardly!"
Zhao Dabao and Zhao Zhongbao were sitting on the scene with the most powerful crossing catastrophe boss. When they looked at Ye Moshu and the others who were frowning and hesitant, they immediately stood up and spoke loudly to boost morale.
"Yes, what are you afraid of, at most, you will be a hero again in 20 years!"
"That's right, be upright, don't be cowardly, the east wind is blowing, the drums of war are beating, who are we cultivators afraid of!"
Sure enough, following the words of Zhao Dabao and Zhao Zhongbao, the team with low morale suddenly became alive and well. Everyone stood up in high spirits, and everyone's eyes were full of determination and fighting spirit!
"Go, let's go!"
Immortal Master Tonggua took the lead and walked in the front, followed by Zhao Dabao and Zhao Zhongbao, followed by Ye Moshu and Shangguanmo, and the last one was the elf Wang Zifeng, everyone was armed and desperate He rushed towards the demon army without hesitation!
But when everyone came to kill these demons and fight their way out, suddenly, the general of the demons on the other side suddenly spoke!
"Hmph, all you cultivators from the Continent of Comprehension, you should surrender as soon as possible! I am the head of the second fortress of the Demon Race, and I have been waiting here for a long time under the orders of the Prince of the Silly Beast!" The demon army came out and shouted to Ye Moshu and others.
"Damn it! No wonder we were discovered and waited for by others. It turns out that he is the person in charge of the second fortress!" Immortal Master Tonggua slapped his head suddenly when he heard what the demon general opposite him said, regretfully Said, "I actually forgot about this! The Danube River is the territory of the demon army god, the dumb beast!"
"Ah! It's actually the legendary Prince of the Silly Beast?" Zifeng also opened her eyes when she heard the words of Immortal Master Tong Gua, and said in surprise, "It's over, it's over, this Prince of Silly Beast is in our elves I read it in the classics of the clan, but he is a person with a strong and light stroke in the history of the demon clan. He uses soldiers like a god. This time he is in charge, and if he comes to arrest us, we will definitely not escape! "
"Hey, don't complain for now, let's think about what to do! There are demon armies on both sides of the strait, densely packed with tens of millions, and they surround us all. What should we do at this moment?" Zhao said. Dabao Zhao Zhongbao and his wife looked at each other, filled with regret, and said helplessly.
Immortal Master Copper Trigram didn't know what to do. At this moment, it could be said that Immortal Master Copper Trigram had never encountered a crisis. Even if Immortal Master Copper Trigram had known 500 years before and 500 years later, there were no omissions. Also at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Immortal Master Tonggua frowned tightly, shook his head, and had a terrible headache, but suddenly, Immortal Master Tonggua tilted his head, and saw a small sandy island in the middle of the river, covered with hollow reeds, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Shan, counting on his heart, struck with both hands, smiled happily and said excitedly and happily: "Yes! I have a solution, we don't have to die!"
"Pull it down, now we are surrounded by thousands of troops, how can we escape!"
Everyone's heart was full of helplessness, they all thought that Immortal Master Tonggua was lying to them and comforting them.
Immortal Master Tonggua looked at Ye Moshu and the others with disbelief, and immediately understood what Ye Moshu and the others were thinking, so he explained: "I didn't lie to you, we can jump into the river and leave!"
But as soon as Immortal Master Tonggua said this, Ye Moshu rolled his eyes. Are you stupid!The Danube is so wide, and there are large armies everywhere on both sides. It is impossible to leave without diving underwater!It doesn't matter to Immortal Master Tonggua and his group of cultivation masters, it's fine to hold your breath for ten days and a half months, but Ye Moshu, a young monk who has just established his foundation, can't!
"Haha, little Moshu, don't be afraid, I know your worries!" Immortal Master Tong Gua smiled sweetly, put his hands on his hips and said, "Look, there are reeds in the middle of the river, and the middle of the reeds is empty. Let's dive into the bottom of the water later. Breathing with a reed in your mouth, you can sneak away by diving to escape! You know, it’s already dark at midnight, because of the refraction principle of water, even if they shine a torch, they can’t see the underwater situation clearly, and they can’t find us at all, so as long as We can escape by jumping into the river!"
"Ah! So it is!"
When everyone heard the method of Immortal Master Tonggua, they couldn't help being shocked, and then nodded one after another, thinking that Immortal Master Tonggua is really too powerful, he is indeed a wise man who knows 500 years before and 500 years after In a short time, such a powerful solution has been figured out!
But when he was excited, Ye Moshu suddenly thought of another question, so he scratched his head and asked curiously: "Why did we flee back instead of crossing the river directly and leaving the fortress?"
Ye Moshu asked suddenly.
Immortal Master Tong Gua laughed, and explained, "Because the small town already has an army, and the places outside the small town are all facing the river as far as the eye can see, there is no cover, once we pass by, we will be found immediately. So the only way to leave is to come back and think of a way.”
Ye Moshu and the others felt that what Immortal Master Tonggua said was very reasonable, but they were speechless, so they followed Immortal Tonggua's plan, jumped into the river one by one, dived to the small island in the river, and broke off. Reed, then quietly dived back to the other side of the river, then found a hidden spot with a lot of water and grass, went ashore, and returned to the place where they came from at the beginning, without being discovered by the demon soldiers on the shore.
On the river bank, a team leader watched Ye Moshu and the others jump into the water, and couldn't help laughing, feeling that they were really stupid.
"Haha, the distance between the two sides of the Danube is several thousand meters. Is it possible that they still want to sneak in by diving? It will be strange if they don't drown!" The head of the first group said with a smile, and then ordered his subordinates, "All of you put bright eyes on me, As soon as they come up for air, lock their position and don't let them get away!"
"Yes! Obey!"
The demon soldiers below nodded and answered.
1 minute passed, the first group leader didn't care, he knew that even ordinary people could hold their breath for such a long time, but he knew that after 5 minutes passed, the first group leader still didn't care, because he knew that the other party was a cultivator It's normal to hold your breath longer, but he can't do it, the other two children with low cultivation bases don't take a breath!
10 minutes passed.
"Hmph, it seems that their water skills are pretty good. They can dive for so long without taking a breath." The head of the group said with a sneer and a gloomy face.
Half an hour passed, and the head of the group seemed to find something was wrong, he couldn't help but frowned, with a look of panic on his face, in his opinion, that foundation cultivator Ye Moshu would never hold his breath for so long, So there must have been some accident. Immediately, the leader of the first group was in a bad mood. He trembled all over, and his heart was extremely flustered. He shouted: "You guys look after this place! I'll go and tell His Majesty the Prince of Silly Beast!"
A regiment leader rushed back to the Prince's Mansion to tell the Dumbbeast Prince about the situation here.
Prince Dumbbeast was drinking tea at this moment, when he saw the first division commander running in, he asked suspiciously, "Xiao Yi, what's the matter?"
"My lord, it's not a big deal! I intercepted them in the middle of the river as you ordered, but they all jumped into the water and then disappeared!"
A head of the regiment cried bitterly, crying with snot and tears.
"What?! Let those cultivators run away?!"
Stupid Beast frowned, and immediately rushed out of the Prince's Mansion, hurried to the western town, observed carefully, and suddenly found a reed in the river, with the wisdom of Dull Beast, of course he knew what happened here!
"Damn it, it's like this!"
Silly Beast gritted its teeth and yelled, his heart was full of anger. You know, since he joined the army, he has always used soldiers like a god without defeat, but today Ye Moshu and the others are just beating the dumb The face of the beast made him lose his life at night!
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! It's really disgusting, I must catch you!"
Dumbly shouted loudly, extremely angry in his heart, and yelled loudly: "Quickly tell the second and third regiment leaders in the central dense forest and the eastern mountains to step up their defenses. Don't let those cultivators escape!"
The dull beast burst out angrily.
"As ordered!"
All the half-orcs present were trembling, bearing the anger of the dull beast, they dared not speak out, they all knew that this time, Ye Moshu and the others escaped from their hands, and they were in trouble!Fortunately, Prince Dumbbeast's attention has shifted to the second group and the third group, and their first group can be regarded as a narrow escape!The group of people who survived the catastrophe were all happy in their hearts, and they ran to find the people from the second group and the third group, while Ye Moshu and the others returned to the beginning and started discussing what to do next. Is good.
"Hey! It's no longer feasible to leave the small town now. For the present plan, everyone still thinks of a way. How can we successfully cross the second fortress!"
Immortal Master Tonggua looked up to the sky and sighed, his heart was full of helplessness. At this moment, he was also disheartened and didn't know what to do. The situation of narrow escape just now almost scared him to death. At that time, he had an idea and thought of a way, so that he could survive the catastrophe, otherwise he would really die!
"In my opinion, let's go to the eastern mountains! It's better to cross the river from there!" Zi Feng couldn't help poking her head out when she heard the words of Immortal Master Tong Gua.He interjected, "After all, our first fortress was to flee over the mountain. We are very experienced in walking the mountain road, so we will definitely succeed!"
"Yeah, what you said is so true, it makes sense!" After hearing what he said, Immortal Master Tonggua nodded again and again, with an expression of approval on his face. Obviously, Immortal Master Tonggua had already begun to acquiesce in the purple Feng's point of view somewhat agrees with Zifeng's statement.
"No, no, in my opinion, it's better for us to go to the central dense forest area!" Zhao Dabao and Zhao Zhongbao's couple immediately objected, "You must know that this dense forest is very close to where we are now, and we won't be long. It can be reached, so why do we have to look far away? Isn’t it superfluous!”
"Yeah, what you said is so true, it makes sense!" After hearing what Zhao Dabao and Zhao Zhongbao said, Immortal Master Tonggua gradually became suspicious of Zifeng's statement, and kept nodding at Zhao Dabao and Zhao Zhongbao , with a face of agreement, it is obvious that Immortal Master Tong Gua has begun to acquiesce in the views of Zhao Dabao and Zhao Zhongbao, and faintly agrees with Zhao Dabao and Zhao Zhongbao.
"Walk the mountains!"
"Go to the jungle!"
"Mountain!"
"Dense forest!"
Zifeng and Zhao Dabao and Zhao Zhongbao had a fierce fight, and finally they all looked at Immortal Master Tong Gua at the same time.
"Immortal Master Tonggua, what do you think should be done?"
