If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 119 Go straight to the lair and trap the bird killer
Of course, the actions of Ding Xiu and the others did not end there.

They quietly sneaked into the capital, the capital of the Rakshasa Kingdom, and secretly launched a plan.

This time they did not pretend to be those birdmen and kill people. Instead, they disguised themselves and blended in with the people to spread the news.

The contents of the messages may be different, but the core idea is the same, which is the threat theory of the Birdman clan.

The theme is: those birdmen show weakness on the surface, but secretly plunder everywhere and accumulate strength. Once the time comes, they will attack in a large scale, kill all the royal family and nobles of the Rakshasa Kingdom, and rule the Rakshasa Kingdom.

In fact, this is not considered a rumor. The birdmen must have ambitions. However, after being modified and exaggerated by Ding Xiu and the others, it made the people panic, as if the birdmen would come to massacre the city at any time and eat them.

Three become tigers!

Within a few days, the entire capital fell into an atmosphere of panic.

Not only the common people, but also the nobles and royal family in the capital began to panic and kept putting pressure on the court.

Finally, the imperial court took action and mobilized most of the country's troops to launch a comprehensive campaign of encirclement and suppression.

At this time, Ding Xiu, Meng Longtan, and Zhu Xiaolian could no longer fish, and they also launched operations secretly.

a few days later.

To the west of the Rakshasa Kingdom, a group of about a dozen birdmen fled into the vast mountains in embarrassment.

The leader of the bird-man is wearing gold armor. He also has two red armors, one blue armor, and the rest are all green armor.

This golden-armored birdman is one of the leaders of the birdman tribe, with almost a thousand people under his command.

The reason why the bird people are difficult to exterminate is because they are very cunning. They break into pieces and scatter in all directions. No one can tell how many there are.

It is precisely because of this that the imperial court spent a lot of money and was tired of dealing with it. As time went by, it became too lazy to bother with large-scale encirclement and suppression, and only carried out symbolic suppression from time to time.

This time, almost the whole country was used to encircle and suppress them, and these birdmen were immediately stunned.

This golden-armored birdman is one of them.

Although he was powerful and tyrannical, the soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court were also masters. Coupled with the heavy siege and rain of arrows, his entire army was almost wiped out.

In the end, almost the entire army was wiped out, and only a dozen of his subordinates managed to escape.

What else can such a small number of people do?
Is it possible that he still wants to take revenge?

It's better to go and die.

Therefore, this golden-armored birdman decided to avoid the spotlight for the time being and hide back in his lair.

In fact, many years ago, the Rakshasa Kingdom sent many people to search for the birdman's lair, but to no avail.

It's useless even if you take him alive. The birdmen only know the general location, but they can't get in. It is said that people below the golden armor cannot enter alone.

It is precisely because of this that the golden-armored birdman is very careful and goes around in the mountains, so he sets up a suspicious array to prevent anyone from following him.

Little did he know that he had been secretly targeted.

It's just that Ding Xiu didn't use the conventional tracking method, but a tracking technique derived from Maoshan's secret method.

Therefore, no matter how many tricks the golden-armored bird man played, it was useless. Ding Xiu had already understood his whereabouts clearly by stopping quietly.

Fortunately, the golden-armored birdman didn't dare to play too many tricks. He was also afraid that the Rakshasa army would chase him into the mountains and start a manhunt.

So after driving around for a few times, he finally led his men to a very secluded cave near the seaside.

There is an underground river in the cave, which leads directly to the sea.

Moreover, there are ships inside.

The golden-armored birdman got on the boat from here and quietly entered the vast sea.

After two days of sailing at sea, the ship entered a sea canyon.

Back then, the Rakshasa Kingdom's fleet also found this place, but the canyon in this sea was quite large, and the forks in it were densely covered, like a maze.

Moreover, there are many hidden reefs and whirlpools in the canyon. If you are not careful, the boat will be destroyed and people will die.

Under the command of the golden-armored birdman, the boat traveled through the sea canyon for another day, and then entered a winding and deep mountain waterway...

An hour later, Ding Xiu also found this place.

But the strange thing was that when he, Zhu Xiaolian, and Meng Longtan got off the boat and carefully walked through a cave to the island outside, they found that they had lost their target and could not feel any breath at all.

"strangeness……"

Ding Xiu looked around and found that the island was not big. He could almost see through it at a glance. Where had the birdmen gone?

Besides, it's impossible for such a small island to be used as a nest by those bird people, right?
The only possibility is that this island must have hidden secrets. Just like the Baihua Palace, it cannot be seen from the outside because there is a large formation to protect the mountain. Unless one is proficient in the formation and breaks the trap.

Therefore, Ding Xiu used all his strength to use his spiritual sense to detect...

Unexpectedly, when the spiritual consciousness was swept away, he was quite speechless.

He overestimated these birdmen.

There is indeed a secret hidden on this island, but it is not a big formation, but a small formation, or in other words, just a small illusion formation similar to a blindfold.

Of course, the small magic array is only for Ding Xiu. Most people still can't see through the mystery. Even if they are lucky enough to find it, they can't find the lair of those bird people.

Although Ding Xiu could not be said to be proficient in formations, this small phantom formation was nothing to him at the moment.

Otherwise, how could it be regarded as a small magic array?

However, Ding Xiu did not start to break it, because once the formation was broken, the birdmen would definitely feel it.

Therefore, he took advantage of the loopholes in the phantom array and quietly passed through the phantom array with Zhu Xiaolian and Meng Longtan without any modifications.

At this moment, the real scene finally appeared in front of the three people.

It turns out that this is a very big island. The three people were on only a small corner of the island, the part that extended into the sea.

After observing the environment for a while, Ding Xiu whispered to Zhu Xiaolian and Meng Longtan: "Since this is the home of those bird people, there must be many masters. You two should not follow them first. Find a safe place to hide. I will be alone." Go observe the situation.”

Zhu Xiaolian also expressed his understanding of this point and nodded solemnly.

Afterwards, Ding Xiu tried his best to conceal his aura and sneaked into the hinterland to secretly detect the specific situation of the birdmen.

Those birdmen were obviously very confident and regarded this place as a safe haven. They only symbolically arranged some blue-armored birdmen to guard it.

Given Ding Xiu's strength, such a guard was useless.

Of course, he did not take it lightly. He tried his best to restrain his aura and hide his figure at all times to prevent being discovered by the masters on the island.

After a day of secret investigation, he discovered that there were four golden-armored birdmen on the island, and it was suspected that there was also a black-armored birdman.

Presumably, the black-armored birdman is the leader of the birdman clan, but Ding Xiu couldn't confirm it because he never appeared in a cave.

Although Ding Xiu could use his spiritual sense to scan, a single spiritual sense sweep might alert the opponent, which would make him passive and might result in wasting all his previous efforts.

The reason why Ding Xiu speculated that there was a black-armored birdman in the cave was because all the birdmen, including the golden-armored birdman, behaved respectfully and walked very lightly when they entered the cave.

After a rough calculation, there are about a thousand birdmen on the island, including four in gold armor, about thirty or forty in red armor, and the rest are all in blue armor and green armor.

With such strength, a head-on confrontation is obviously impossible.

Although Ding Xiu had already entered the second major realm, he estimated that he might be able to barely survive against the black-armored birdman.

For the rest, Zhu Xiaolian and Meng Longtan are far outmatched. Let alone Jin Jia, they are both good at fighting alone against Hong Jia.

Since you are incapable of fighting, you can only outsmart.

Fortunately, Ding Xiu was prepared for this, and that was the famous "Nine Curves Formation" in the world of immortal cultivation.

This formation is recorded in ancient books and is derived from the ancient formation "Nine Bends of the Yellow River".

Legend has it that during the Battle of the Gods, three fairies, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao, set up this formation. It is said that even if Da Luo Jinxian enters this formation, he will not be able to escape.

Of course, the power of the Nine-Bend Formation is far inferior. It was created by formation masters in the world of immortal cultivation imitating the "Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation".

Even if it is an imitation, it cannot be broken by these birdmen. You can tell how good it is just by looking at the small magic array they set up.

Next, Ding Xiu picked a place that was most suitable for the layout, and started setting up the formation with Zhu Xiaolian and Meng Longtan.

This is a basin-shaped valley, which is relatively far away from where the birdmen live, so it is relatively safe when setting up the formation.

This array was relatively large in scale and wide in scope, so it took the three of them two days to complete the arrangement.

The formation is set up, and the next step is to find a way to lure those birdmen here so that they can close the door and beat the dogs.

This glorious and arduous task naturally fell on Ding Xiu himself.

In other words, even if Zhu Xiaolian and Meng Longtan took the initiative to invite them, Ding Xiu would not be at ease.

After all, everything is ready, all we need is the east wind, but nothing can happen at this time.

After some careful preparations, Ding Xiu took action.

Of course, he did not make a big fanfare, but adopted a "provoking" method.

However, Ding Xiu did not use his words to provoke the general, but directly used his hands.

That day was undoubtedly a day of shock, disbelief, panic and anger for the bird people on the island.

Because, early in the morning, they found the bodies of more than a dozen of their accomplices, and all of them were headless.

At first, they didn't quite believe that someone could break in here, so they suspected that there was a traitor inside.

But after careful investigation and autopsy, we finally had to face reality. Someone did break into the island.

As a result, a group of birdmen were frightened and angry, and began to search the entire island, vowing to dig out the enemies who had sneaked into the island and cut them into pieces.

For Ding Xiu, this was not the time to take action. After all, the birdmen were scattered.

He hides in the darkness like a hunter, killing a few from time to time.

Over the past few days, more than 100 birdmen were killed one after another, eight of them were red-armored birdmen, and the rest were all blue-armored birdmen.

Moreover, a golden-armored birdman was seriously injured.

At this time, the birdmen finally realized that their opponent was not simple. If they continued to disperse and pursue them, more and more people would die.

Therefore, they began to integrate the tribesmen and divided the people into two groups, one group stayed behind and the other group went out to search.

Unexpectedly, during the search process, he was attacked from behind several times, and another 30 people were killed one after another.

Such arrogance completely angered the bird people.

The leader who had been hiding behind the scenes finally appeared, and it turned out to be a black-armored birdman!
He looks a little old, his back is a little rickety, and he coughs a few times from time to time. I guess he has old injuries on his body, so no wonder he doesn't go out all day long.

There is probably no other way this time and I have to step in to take charge of the overall situation.

Of course, this is exactly what Ding Xiu wants to achieve.

What followed was a series of pursuits, chases, escapes, and circles... which even incited the Birdman clan to almost come out in full force, vowing to crush the enemy to ashes.

After walking around the island for a long time, Ding Xiu finally succeeded in introducing a group of birdmen headed by the black-armored birdmen into the formation range.

According to Ding Xiu's estimation, most of the elites on the island are here.

On the other side, Meng Longtan and Zhu Xiaolian, who were hiding in the dark, saw that almost all of their pursuers entered the range of the formation, so they immediately activated the formation.

"What's going on?" "Why did it suddenly fog up?"

"Huh? Where are our people?"

"No, I've been fooled..."

The birdmen finally woke up.

Unfortunately, they woke up a little late, and they didn't know much about the battle method, including the black-armored birdman.

Although the Nine-Bend Formation imitates the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, it is quite powerful and can be used to deal with these birdmen.

After falling into the formation, the group of birdmen seemed to have entered a vast desert. Almost all the people were scattered and couldn't find their direction at all, running around in the formation.

There were only four subordinates gathered closely around the black-armored birdman, including one with red armor and three with green armor.

Just when these birdmen were furious and running around like headless flies, the target finally appeared.

Now, enemies are really meeting each other, and they are extremely jealous.

The black-armored birdman roared angrily, holding a black spear in his hand. In a flash, the spear turned into a dragon shape and stabbed Ding Xiu as fast as lightning.

He was worthy of being a black-armored birdman. His aura was so strong that he could be said to be the strongest opponent Ding Xiu had ever encountered since time travel.

However, Ding Xiu was already prepared, and he also wanted to test the upper limit of his strength, so he did not dodge or dodge, and activated his magic sword with his true energy to take the black-armored birdman's move.

"boom!"

The collision of the two people's power stirred up a huge air wave, like a tsunami, causing the surrounding air currents to form a hurricane. For a time, sand and rocks were flying, and the sky was filled with smoke and dust.

Ding Xiu and the black-armored birdman were both shaken by the opponent's power and flew backwards. Ding Xiu floated seven or eight feet away before stopping and falling to the ground, barely able to stabilize his body.

The black-armored birdman landed first, and it seemed that his strength was slightly stronger.

However, the other four birdmen were in dire straits.

Two of the blue-armored birdmen flew upside down in an instant, and their bodies were shattered into several pieces by the violent force.

Another blue-armored birdman who was further away was also shaken so much that he vomited blood and flew away. He fell heavily to the ground, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

The red-armored birdman did better and managed to save his life, but it looked like he was also seriously injured.

In fact, Ding Xiu felt a little uncomfortable at this time, his arms were a little sore and numb, and the blood in his chest was surging.

Fortunately, the black-armored birdman was probably not feeling well either, so he did not take the opportunity to attack. Instead, he bent over and coughed violently, and seemed to cough up a trace of blood.

It seems that this guy does have an old illness.

In his prime, this guy's power would have been truly terrifying.

Not long after, Ding Xiu let out a long breath and seemed to be back to his former self.

This is the benefit of having potential that far exceeds that of ordinary people. Whether it is physical fitness or energy and spirit, it is many times higher than that of ordinary people, and recovery is naturally very fast.

"Old guy, take a shot from me too!"

Ding Xiu slowly raised his sword.

"Buzzing..."

In the sky, a long sound of swords echoed, like the roar of a dragon.

The sword body released a dazzling golden light, like the rising sun, shrouding Ding Xiu's figure in it.

The black-armored birdman finally put away his hostile eyes, became solemn, and slowly raised his spear. The gun body was covered with a layer of black light, like wisps of black mist that were changing.

It seems that both sides are going to use their ultimate moves this time.

"Buzz!"

With a buzzing sound, Ding Xiu's figure rose into the sky, his sword energy was like a rainbow, and he slashed hard at the black-armored birdman.

Suddenly, the situation changed.

The sky is filled with scorching golden light, like thousands of rays of sunshine.

However, these rays of light were not just light, but sword energy, which was shaped like a small golden sword, pouring down towards the black-armored birdman like a violent storm.

The black-armored birdman seemed to have stirred up an endless struggle. He thrust his spear and shouted, "Broken!"

With this shout, the spear seemed to disappear and turned into a black dragon several feet long, shrouded in a large black mist, with teeth and claws.

"Bang bang bang..."

There was a dense sound in the black fog, like the sound of steel balls falling into a steel plate.

"combine!"

At this time, Ding Xiu also shouted loudly, swung his sword, and the sword energy suddenly condensed into a bunch, turning into a giant sword about ten feet long and slashing down in the air.

"boom!"

There was another earth-shaking loud noise, and mud, dust and gravel flew away, like a sandstorm sweeping across.

"Pfft~"

This blow finally made the black-armored birdman unable to bear it, and he spit out a large mouthful of blood.

But Ding Xiu didn't feel well either. The black-armored birdman's desperate counterattack surged forward, causing his body to fly backwards several feet, with a trace of blood soaking from the corner of his mouth.

However, in the end, physique and strength had the upper hand. At least the black-armored birdman seemed to be more seriously injured than him.

Ding Xiu quickly took a breath, not giving the black-armored birdman a chance to recover from his injuries. He stepped forward with his sword and slashed at him one after another.

In terms of fighting experience, Ding Xiu considered himself inferior to his opponent. After all, the old guy had been practicing for who knows how many years.

However, the opponent has an old illness and cannot withstand the wear and tear. Therefore, as long as he continues to attack uninterrupted, the old guy will definitely not be able to bear it.

At this time, the red-armored birdman stayed far away and did not dare to approach.

He is also self-aware. With his strength, let alone helping, he can't even resist the aftermath of the fight between the two sides.

So, I can only watch.

"Boom boom boom..."

The roaring sound is endless.

Ding Xiu's tactics really worked. One move after another made the black-armored birdman tired of dealing with it and retreated steadily.

It is in line with an old saying in the world: Boxing is afraid of young people!
Ding Xiu became more and more courageous as he fought, but the black-armored birdman was tired of dealing with it. He gasped for air, coughed several times from time to time, and coughed up blood.

His physical strength and energy were almost exhausted, and he was holding on with just one breath.

As a result, he was pressed down and beaten by Ding Xiu.

After a while, Ding Xiu suddenly made a feint, seemingly attacking from the front, but he teleported behind the black-armored birdman.

If this move was used at the beginning, it would probably be of little use.

But now, the black-armored birdman's reaction and speed were obviously a beat slower, and he had no time to change his moves.

"puff!"

Ding Xiu thrust out his sword with all his strength.

A sword pierced the vest of the black-armored birdman.

"what!"

The black-armored birdman screamed in pain, and swung his gun backhand with blood-red eyes. Unexpectedly, Ding Xiu jumped up again and kicked the black-armored birdman hard on the head.

"boom!"

The black-armored birdman immediately fell to the ground, like a dog chewing mud.

If the golden-armored bird had received such a kick, it would have exploded into pieces on the spot. This old guy is indeed tough enough.

However, although his head was not broken, he was already in a coma after receiving such a kick.

Coupled with another stab in his vest, his life began to extinguish and he could no longer stand up.

Taking this opportunity, Ding Xiu swung his sword again and cut off a bird's head.

The red-armored birdman was so frightened that he ran around, but no matter which direction he ran, he still couldn't escape Ding Xiu's sight.

Not long after, he was beheaded with a sword just like the black-armored birdman.

At the same time, Meng Longtan and Zhu Xiaolian were also fighting fiercely with the birdmen.

Although their strength was far inferior to that of Ding Xiu, with the help of the formation, they were able to kill many birdmen, including a golden-armored birdman.

This is precisely due to the power of the formation.

The Jiuqu Formation is not only a trapping formation, but also a killing formation.It was precisely because of this that Meng Longtan and the others had the opportunity to kill the golden-armored birdman.

When Ding Xiu freed his hand, he killed those birds to the death.

By nightfall, not a single birdman trapped in the formation was left alive, and all were destroyed.

Ding Xiu and the other three spent the night adjusting their posture in the formation. The next day, the three of them headed straight for each other's lair.

There is nothing to worry about this time. The opponent's big boss is dead, and almost all the elites have died in the battle. Most of the people left behind are old, weak, sick and disabled, so there is nothing to fear.

After killing all the birdmen on the island, Ding Xiu did another "good thing".

He changed the phantom array that the birdmen had deployed before and turned it into a killing array.

As a result, once those unsuspecting birdmen return to the island, they will fall into a killing array. Even if they can escape the mechanism, they will be trapped alive in the array.

After the formation was set up, the three of them left the island and took the treasure ship back to Baihua Palace.

After this battle, even if those birdmen were not completely destroyed, their vitality would definitely be severely damaged. Those who survived might not dare to stay in the Rakshasa Kingdom anymore and could only flee far away.

Half a month later, the three of them successfully returned to Baihua Palace.

Hearing that Ding Xiu and the others had returned, the Master of Baihua Palace came to the main hall in a hurry.

Before he could speak, Ding Xiu had already come forward and said with a smile: "Auntie, the three of you have lived up to your orders and destroyed the nest of those birdmen."

"Great!" The Master of Baihua Palace was overjoyed. He took Ding Xiu's hand and sat down, asking for details.

Ding Xiu said eloquently: "The Rakshasa Kingdom is indeed a strange country. Most of the people there regard ugliness as beauty..."

"I, along with Brother Meng and Brother Zhu, first disguised themselves as those birdmen and killed many evil-doing nobles, which aroused the anger of the imperial court and mobilized a large army to encircle and suppress..."

While he was telling the story, the expression of the Master of Baihua Palace kept changing. Overall, his heart was filled with relief and gratitude.

For her, this was a matter of life and death for Baihua Palace.

As long as the escape route of those birdmen is cut off from the source, then Baihua Palace can organize a major counterattack to completely eliminate those birdmen and avoid future troubles!
