The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

As soon as Chen Subaru heard Long Ying's words, he immediately became alert. He rummaged through the supplies sent by Qinglong Castle on the day Elder Qin left, and finally found a brand new puppet-finding mirror.

He looked at Long Ying and asked: "I guess, after the fall of Misty Valley, Shuangxi Town here will be your last refuge, right? How many people are there now?"

Long Ying looked at the magic weapon in Chen Subaru's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Except for guarding the Ghost Gate, there are no more than ten resistance strongholds scattered across Yizhou. Now that Misty Valley has fallen, we and other strongholds We have lost contact. After the battle in the Misty Valley, You Ye and I have less than a hundred men."

Chen Subaru looked at Long Ying seriously and asked, "Have you ever fought against Gu Yixin?"

Long Ying nodded and replied: "We have fought, and she has two monks who are in the realm of gods. Those two monks are no match for me if they work together, but Gu Yixin's cultivation level does not seem to be high, but she masters extremely weird skills. . She can always command her men to charge regardless of life and death, and fight for their lives with our monks. Moreover, their long-range attacks will not take into account their own melee soldiers. When the two sides are in close combat, they will shoot the two combatants indiscriminately. This kind of attack. The law prevented me from concentrating on fighting the enemy.

"Furthermore, because of the traitor's betrayal, our favorable defense and ambush positions were all exposed to the opponent's long-range attack range. In the end, we had to give up on the Misty Valley because of the excessive casualties among the monks."

Chen Subaru nodded and said: "Then it must be Gu Yixin. The demon species in her possesses the vitality law of small-scale control level and the puppet law of large-scale application level. The monks of the Ningzhou coalition must be affected by her. Controlled by the Puppet Law, the reason why they do not care about life and death is because they have become killing puppets.

"As for the law of vitality, it is even more difficult to deal with. As long as the monks who have been transformed by her control-level vitality law can overdraw their vitality and gain a short-term strength gain before the vitality is exhausted. Unless one blow is fatal, they can resist any attack. Attack without dying."

Long Ying recalled that battle and said: "There are indeed such monks. Although their cultivation level is not high, their defense is amazing. A flash of golden light can withstand the full blow of most of our monks. Even You Ye can severely injure you. They seem to be unable to shake the fighting power of these monks. Only I can kill them with one strike."

At this time, Chen Subaru shook the puppet-finding mirror in his hand and said: "This is the magic weapon of Qinglong Castle. It can identify human puppets without lawful power and monks controlled by demons."

Long Ying immediately understood Chen Subaru's intention. She thought for a moment and asked, "Can this be done secretly?"

Chen Subaru understood Long Ying's concerns and nodded: "Of course it is possible. But once we discover something, we must act decisively."

He looked at the busy monks in the distance and asked, "Is everyone underground?"

Long Ying sensed it and replied: "They have all gone underground. We are worried about the pursuit of soldiers and dare not leave anyone on the ground. Moreover, once these monks enter the underground barrier, it will be impossible to spread the news."

Chen Subaru subconsciously looked in the direction of the pit, and then said: "Please protect me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned on the puppet-finding mirror. Long Ying held the handle of his saber tightly to protect Chen Subaru behind him, ready to deal with possible accidents at any time.

Chen Subaru first used the Qinglong circuit to scan the human puppet. Following the scanning of the puppet-finding mirror, his consciousness checked all the monks one by one, but no human puppets were found.

The second time, he activated the White Tiger Circuit to search for the contamination of the demon species. The scanning speed of the White Tiger Circuit is much slower than that of the Azure Dragon Circuit. Chen Subaru also took this opportunity to use his spiritual consciousness to carefully examine every monk, including You Ye who was talking to Xue'er.

Xue'er could feel Chen Subaru's consciousness sweeping over her and You Ye's bodies, but she didn't show any unusual expressions on her face. She was like a quiet little sister, listening to You Ye's story about the Resistance Army in Demon Soldiers. The story of resistance during the invasion.

After a quarter of an hour of careful scanning, Chen Subaru breathed a sigh of relief and said to Long Ying: "Captain Long Ying, none of your people are contaminated."

However, Long Ying's face did not show any joy because of this good news, but instead looked increasingly gloomy. "I really hope we find a traitor among our people," she said.

Chen Subaru couldn't understand Long Ying's meaning for a moment and showed a confused expression.

Long Ying noticed Chen Subaru's confusion, smiled bitterly, and said: "At least we have you here to find the traitor. Moreover, there are enough flame crystals here. Even without you, the traitor managed to contact Gu Yixin, She sent a large army to encircle and suppress us, and we can also lead the thunder to perish together with those traitors.

"But other strongholds do not have such good luck. If the traitor is on their side, they may have been attacked by Gu Yixin. Now that the various strongholds are isolated from each other, they can only fight alone with no retreat, alas..."

Long Ying's sigh made Chen Subaru feel her helplessness and bitterness.

Chen Subaru couldn't help but ask: "Captain Longying, facing the current predicament, there is nothing we can do about this. Just now, I saw you were carrying the Flame Crystal. What is your purpose?"

Long Ying replied in a deep voice: "This basement is the largest place in the underground palace. Fortunately, you didn't detonate this place, otherwise our last stronghold and trump card would no longer exist. The big pit you left outside let me Realizing that there are only a few of us now, if the enemy invades in large numbers, it would be unwise to gather all the flame crystals in one place. We will store these crystals in other vaults according to the number of holes blasted by the previous thunder disaster. , In this way, even if we lose to Gu Yixin, we can still use Thunder Tribulation to expand the range of damage to the enemy. "

Chen Subaru hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask: "When I scanned just now, I found that all the monks seemed not to be seriously injured. According to you, the intensity of the battle in the Misty Valley, if it was a battle with the demon clan, the monks would die because of It’s okay if the rate is too high and no one is injured, but the opponent is a human race, so they should capture some monks to enrich the puppet army, so why are there no injured here? "

After hearing this, Long Ying's face became more and more gloomy, and she said solemnly: "If they hadn't been willing to stay, we might not even be able to bring back these less than a hundred monks."

Chen Subaru heard this and asked in surprise: "You mean, they stayed voluntarily to fight against Gu Yixin's army? How many people are there?"

Long Ying said in a serious tone: "Including the resident monks in the Misty Valley and reinforcements from all sides, we have a total of 1,139 people. When we were retreating in four directions, 300 seriously injured monks voluntarily chose to stay. , to stop the enemy."

Chen Subaru frowned and asked: "Not to mention the three hundred seriously injured monks, even the three hundred monks in good condition will have a hard time resisting Gu Yixin's army, right?"

Long Ying pointed to the mountains of flame crystals and replied: "Three hundred seriously injured monks may not be able to do it, but the flame crystals can."

Chen Subaru's brows furrowed even more tightly. He could understand that the fact that the Misty Valley could hide for so long under the massive hunt of the demon army must have relied on the power of a large number of flame crystals. But if it was just the Flame Crystal, why would all three hundred people stay here and die?

Long Ying saw through Chen Subaru's doubts and said in a serious tone: "Those three hundred monks are not waiting to die, but to expand the scope of the thunder tribulation."

Chen Subaru's pupils tightened, and he suddenly recalled the scene when he witnessed the thunder tribulation attacking Shuangxi Taoist Temple. He blurted out in shock: "Their intention was to put themselves in the thunder tribulation, so that the thunder tribulation would remember their breath and then guide them." Thunder Tribulation expands its attack range?”

Long Ying nodded solemnly: "Just like the big crater formed by Shuangxi Taoist Temple as you have seen, the number of flame crystals stored in the Misty Valley stronghold is more than five times that of the underground Taoist temple. As we retreated, thunder roared from the sky, We can only try our best to flee to safety. If someone’s breath is locked by Tianwei, then it will not be just one person.”

Although he had never witnessed the scene in person, Chen Subaru could still imagine the thrilling thunder and calamity surging over the Misty Valley at that time. He could even imagine how the three hundred seriously injured monks bravely charged towards Gu Yixin's army amidst the thunder that could destroy them physically and mentally.

Chen Subaru felt an extremely depressed emotion, but he still stabilized his mentality and said: "Then Gu Yixin's army must have suffered heavy damage. No wonder she didn't pursue you."

Long Ying shook his head and said: "It's too slow to use flame crystals to lure Heaven's way to condense thunder and calamity. Gu Yixin will definitely notice something is wrong and attack cautiously or even withdraw. I don't think Gu Yixin's casualties will be too great. She did not pursue us. Maybe it’s just because there’s no traitor in our team, or maybe Lei Jie affected her observation and didn’t see the direction of our escape.”

After hearing Long Ying's words, Chen Subaru became worried about the big hole in Shuangxi Taoist Temple again. He asked with concern: "If Gu Yixin comes in pursuit, how should the big hole in the Taoist temple be solved?"

Long Ying replied: "We have inspected the place before entering the basement and set up a phantom array. From the outside, it is just a deserted land. Even if we use our spiritual sense to explore, we will not find any abnormalities. The only risk Someone accidentally stepped into the illusion."

Chen Subaru suggested: "To be sure, we should close all the passages connected to that big pit."

Long Ying pondered for a moment and agreed: "That's true, but this underground palace is a circular structure. If we want to close the passage inside and take other detours, we will probably spend a lot of time."

Chen Subaru's eyes flickered and he asked, "Are you really prepared to resist here until death?"

Long Ying was stunned and replied: "We are at the end of our rope!"

Chen Subaru smiled and asked: "Who said we have no way out? You are all subjects of the Jin Dynasty. Do you think the monks in Bashu are a completely different race from the monks in other states?"
