Qingyunxian

Chapter 15 Qin Yuan
Shortly after the boat followed the river into the valley, a group of people arrived outside Baoping Valley again.

The elite soldiers walking in the Weilin forest were full of murderous aura, and a kite was hovering above the crowd with a sharp gaze.

The soldiers from Weishan City who were left behind outside the valley were about to open their mouths to ask questions, but were met with a rain of crossbows instead.

After a loud noise, the soldiers of Weishan City fell to the ground.

Those who were lucky enough to survive were beheaded by the armored soldiers.

Cao Anxiang and others in the valley were unaware of all this.

In Cao Anxiang's opinion, even if Dalong City made any move, the soldiers left outside should be able to respond, so as not to leave the people in the valley without any chance to react.

However, this time Lin Huai had great courage and all the crossbowmen from Dalong City were sent out in order to capture Yuntu with certainty.

Due to the limitation of surrounding resources, bows and crossbows are not easy to make. The crossbow soldiers in Dalong City are not easily transferred out, and they are only used as the last defense to guard the city.

Even when they attacked Weishan City last time, Dalong City did not produce a single crossbowman.

Therefore, the soldiers left behind in Cao Anxiang had no chance to resist at all.

Seeing that the situation was not good, a soldier was about to launch a boat into the valley to sound the alarm, but was shot into the river by Long Yue, who had let a tiger climb on board.

The hawk circled twice and landed on the shoulder of Lin Huai, who was in the middle of the soldiers.

Lin Huai has a dashing face, and his falling hair flutters in the night wind, adding a touch of calmness and freedom.

He touched the hawk's drooping head and said with a smile, "Brother Long, you are well versed in military affairs, so I will base this battle on your opinion!"

Long Yue didn't act pretentiously and clasped his fists to agree with Lin Huai's words.

"All soldiers entering the valley, be alert to ambushes. If you meet anyone from Weishan City, kill them all!" Long Yue swung his spear, and the tiger under his seat roared with its claws down.

No one saw the Dalong City soldiers entering, and a red figure flashed in the night in the distance.

The boat moved forward in the river. The miasma above the river was much thinner than in other places. Everyone just needed to hold their breath and bury their faces in the river from time to time. Soon they passed the entrance of Baoping Valley and truly entered the valley.

Once we entered the valley, the miasma disappeared.

The unique topography of Baoping Valley keeps the miasma outside the valley, just like a veil, making it very safe inside.

After the soldiers of Dalong City came ashore, they began to look around, trying to find the people from Weishan City who had entered the valley earlier.

However, the people of Weishan City seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Long Yue frowned, poked his spear into the ground, and called out to someone, "Do you know where in the valley we can hide people?"

The person who was called over was a spy. He bowed respectfully and said, "Sir, Weishan City had previously guarded Baoping Valley very tightly. We were unable to enter the valley for a detailed investigation. We only know that there seem to be many evil creatures in the valley, and Yuntu is said to be surrounded by those evil creatures in the center."

Long Yue looked solemn, and the ferocious creatures he was referring to were most likely the ferocious beasts in the wilderness.

When he was in the early stage of Ningsha Realm, he once faced a ferocious beast and almost died at the claws of the beast. If he had not broken through between life and death, Long Yue would not be able to stand here now.

There is a group of ferocious beasts in Baoping Valley.
It is not difficult to seize Yuntu.

Long Yue turned around to look at Lin Huai, who was calm and composed, with a serious look in his eyes. For the sake of the young master, he would probably have to fight this time.

The sword-wielding soldiers led the way in front, while the crossbow soldiers were alert to possible dangers in the middle and upper parts.

The location where Yuntu exists is most likely in the center of the valley.

Soon, the soldiers of Dalong City arrived at the center of Baoping Valley without any obstruction.

Tall and strong ancient trees rise up from the rocks. In the light of the torches, you can vaguely see a white mass flowing among the layered treetops.

Lin Huai stood in the crowd, looking up at the white, a gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said, "White clouds and cloud soil."

On the treetops is the cloud soil that countless newborn celestial beings desire!
The clouds are filled with strange things, which, when mixed with the vital energy of heaven and earth, form the extremely precious soil in the clouds.

Cloud soil can be carried by birds, and by planting some specific plants in it and cultivating it, one can harvest the cloud essence in the cloud soil and provide it for the cultivation of heavenly immortals. Although white cloud soil is the lowest grade of cloud soil, it is still a rare treasure for a heavenly immortal.

Without clouds and soil, the cultivation path of the immortals in heaven is just a decoration.

It was initially estimated that this piece of cloud soil was only the size of a square table. Perhaps the powerful immortals in heaven would disdain it, but it was enough for Lin Huai.

Lin Huai just looked at Yuntu, but did not rush to let the kite on his shoulder fly up to the treetops to pick up Yuntu.

He looked calm, with no sign of surprise that Yuntu could easily get.

Long Yue next to him also held his breath and concentrated, restraining his murderous aura, holding his gun and looking around vigilantly.

This is all so abnormal!
The people from Weishan City entered Baoping Valley first, and they are now invisible. There must be something strange!

Just when Long Yue and others were on guard, a creature half the size of a human flew in the sky.

Several soldiers raised their weapons and chopped at the incoming objects, but surprisingly, the objects were split in half without any obstruction, as if they posed no threat at all.

Some juice splashed out from the split object and fell on the soldier. It had a fishy-sweet smell.

Lin Huai raised his eyes and saw something strange, his eyebrows jumped, and he retreated quickly without saying a word.

He did not shout at everyone to retreat, as it would be bad to rashly seize the command from Long Yue.

Lin Huai believed that with Long Yue's experience, he should be able to see the danger.

As expected, Long Yue shouted: "The people who just attacked should stay where they are, and the rest of you should retreat!"

Although the soldiers did not understand Long Yue's orders, they still followed them.

The principle of strict discipline and strict enforcement of orders has been ingrained into the bones of the soldiers of Dalong City.

The soldier who had used his sword to chop off the incoming object stayed where he was. As he was wondering, a buzzing sound came from the sky.

The crossbow soldier who reacted quickly pulled the trigger of the crossbow in his hand without waiting for Long Yue's order.

Crossbows rained down from the sky, but to everyone's surprise, only a portion of the enemies were shot down.

The rest nimbly avoided the rain of crossbows and, aroused to their ferocity, pounced madly on the soldiers on the ground.

The first to bear the brunt were the soldiers who had chopped apart the foreign objects.

As they got closer, they could finally see the faces of these ferocious creatures in the firelight.

It has a bird's head and a bee's body, with a circle of white hair on its neck and a stinger on its tail that flashes with a fierce light, giving it an menacing, murderous aura.

The sharp bee stingers pierced into the faces of the soldiers and the gaps in their armor. In just a breath of time, black air emanated from the faces of these soldiers, and they instantly decayed into black water. Only the armor fell to the ground with a clang.

If the armor had not been made of the fur of a young Menghuai animal, it would probably have been dissolved in the poisonous water after the armored person had decayed.

"The Book of Wilderness·The Volume of Evil" says: Among the ancient trees and barriers, there are many groups of evil spirits [Qinyuan], which look like birds and bees, and collect miasma from the mountains and fields to make honey. If they sting birds and beasts, they will die, and if they sting trees, they will wither.

Wherever there is miasma, there will often be a group of ferocious beasts [Qinyuan] appearing. They have a bird's head with white hair protecting their necks, and their bodies and wings are similar to those of wild bees. Because they feed on miasma to make honey, Qinyuan is highly toxic.

Even though Qin Yuan's strength is not up to par and he doesn't even have a single White Venerable, the terrifying thing is the number of them!
Lin Huai, who was always calm, also changed his expression at this moment. He clenched his fists slightly and stared at the vast expanse of Qinyuan falling from the sky.

The thing that had just been split open by the soldiers could now be seen clearly. There were holes all around it, most likely Qin Yuan's nest.

After Qin Yuan killed the soldier who split the beehive, he did not disperse, but instead targeted the remaining people in Dalong City.

This strategy of driving away the wolf and swallowing the tiger, if not the work of Cao Anxiang, then what else could it be?

When it comes to brutality, no one is as good as Cao Anxiang.

Long Yue was filled with murderous aura and had no time to curse, so he could only stand up and kill Qin Yuan.
