Longevity begins with an old woman

"We didn't encounter any big battles some time ago, and the elixir reserves are still sufficient." Ye Yingying suddenly woke up and replied.

People around her were a little strange, wondering why she was so distracted.

"Yingying, are you too tired from refining the elixir? Do you want to go down and rest?" Li Youlan frowned slightly.

Because of Xu Mu and the long time they spent together, Li Youlan had a good relationship with several people.

"No problem, I just thought of some problems caused by cultivation. Thank you for your concern, Princess." Ye Yingying hurriedly replied.

Originally, she didn't need to come to guard the level this time. After all, she was not proficient in combat.

But because she was worried about the children, she asked to come. In addition, since she was an alchemist, she basically didn't need to take action even if she went to the battlefield. After discussion, she was allowed to come with him.

As the ruler of the entire Eastern Region, the Dayuan Dynasty would not be stupid and only send its own people here. The death rate here is extremely high. If the consumption is too large, it is likely to shake the rule of the royal family.

Therefore, in addition to sending some of their cronies to participate in the battle, they also removed a large number of family backbones from the local area.

The Xu family, as the Jindan family that has been victorious in recent years, sent almost half of its strength to join the battle against the demons.

Thanks to Li Youlan, they can be assigned together and will not be used as cannon fodder.

The configuration for this trip was also based on Li Youlan's words. Most of the Xu family members are assistants. For example, Si Tan'er is an alchemist, Lan Shijin is a formation master, the eighth oldest Xu Tiangu, the fourteenth oldest Xu Tiansheng, and the fifteenth oldest Xu Tianshu Three people need to be on the front line.

The reason why three people were chosen was, on the one hand, their own request, and on the other hand, because their combat talents were relatively high.

Among them, Xu Tianshu was Ye Yingying's youngest son, and Ye Yingying followed him because she was worried about him.

In addition to the Xu family, there were also several disciples of Li Youlan, including the beast control master Jia Zhiyi, the pharmacist Qiao Qianqian, the body refiner Hong Xi, the soul master Xu Yuling, and several new recruits.

Including Li Youlan, there are more than 30 golden elixirs in this battle, and they are quite powerful.

Seeing Ye Yingying's answer, Li Youlan didn't ask any more questions, and then asked other people, and then began to assign tasks.

After everything was arranged and everyone dispersed, Lan Shijin was called to ask for news about Xu Mu.

"Our family sends messages regularly, but unfortunately we never receive a reply." Lan Shijin sighed.

It has been hundreds of years since Xu Mu went out to look for opportunities for retreat. To be honest, they were really worried.

Many people speculated that he might have had an accident, after all, too much time had passed.

According to Xu Mu's situation at the time, after such a long time, he would either complete a breakthrough and return, or he would simply perish.

It’s just that a few people are still unwilling to admit it.

"I understand. If there is any news, please notify me as soon as possible. You can go down and get busy." Li Youlan said calmly.

To be honest, she also felt that Xu Mu most likely had an accident. If he really made a breakthrough, it would be impossible not to come back.

Things were proceeding in an orderly manner, and just when everyone thought they would spend the same peaceful time as they had in the previous 20 years, a large number of poisonous corpses began to appear nearby.

Everyone gathered together again, and after discussion, they felt that a large-scale corpse wave was likely to break out.

"Send a message to the Human Image Alliance and ask them to send the Nascent Soul Stage over."

After confirming that there was a possibility of a zombie wave, Li Youlan immediately sent a message for help from the alliance headquarters.The reason why they did not send Nascent Soul stagers to garrison here at the beginning was because, on the one hand, their numbers were too few to be assigned, and on the other hand, they were worried that the Demon Sect would take this opportunity to defeat them one by one.

Nowadays, most of the Alliance's Nascent Soul Artifacts are gathered together. They will only be sent out individually when news is received, and the ultimate will be hidden to avoid being discovered by people from the Demon Sect.

Soon they received a reply, but this information made Li Youlan frown.

"Princess, what did the headquarters say?"

Seeing Li Youlan frowning, Qiao Qianqian asked doubtfully.

"They said that we should continue to guard and kill a small number of poisonous zombies. When more poisonous zombies are attracted, they will launch an attack together with the other two strongholds. When the time comes, many Nascent Soul Stage will be dispatched to cooperate, so we can rest assured."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but fell silent for a moment.

It sounds nice, but isn't it actually just using them as bait?

The stronghold they are in is relatively deep. If they attack the poisonous zombies now, they are likely to attract a large number of poisonous zombies to besiege them. If the rescuers cannot arrive in time, they may not even have a chance to escape.

"This is an order from the headquarters. They want to clean up more poisonous corpses at once, but I can't help it!" Li Youlan sighed.

Although this order seems dangerous, there is no problem because this is a long-term plan, and their location is also the best base.

"Store more supplies. The formation will be repaired and reinforced as soon as possible. The personnel are now implemented in three shifts to maintain the best condition at all times."

Since there was nothing she could do, she could only issue the order and be fully prepared.

"Princess, could it be the idea of ​​Patriarch Bibo again this time?"

After everyone left, Lan Shijin came in alone and asked.

Ever since they arrived to guard the front line, there was an ancestor in the Nascent Soul stage who often sent people to harass them and wanted to take them as concubines.

If it weren't for Li Youlan's protection, I don't know what the outcome would have been.

The name of the ancestor of Nascent Soul was Bibo Divine Lord, and he became the ancestor of Bibo in private. The sect he belonged to was called Bibo Palace, which he founded himself.

The reason why they were placed at the forefront this time was because of the idea of ​​Patriarch Bibo.

"This is an order sent directly from the headquarters. It should have little to do with him, so don't worry." Li Youlan said.

Although she is also a little worried, in the current situation, there is no use worrying. It is better to let the other party relax.

Seeing what Li Youlan said, Lan Shijin didn't ask any more questions, but just tried to find a way to inquire through his own channels.

During the years of guarding, she also got to know many monks, and she was able to get some information.

Soon, a few small teams of monks were sent out to clean up the poisonous corpses nearby. Due to the cleaning, more and more poisonous corpses gathered nearby and began to gather towards the stronghold.

Although the people at the stronghold were working hard to clean up, there were too many poisonous corpses. As time went by, the surrounding mountains were almost filled with water.

"Your Highness, the number of poisonous corpses has almost reached its limit, and a poisonous miasma will form soon. Why hasn't the Nascent Soul Stage God Lord arrived yet?"
