There is a progress bar in my cultivation of immortality

Chapter 59 Encounter (please subscribe)
  The sky was gloomy, the sea breeze was howling, and the air was full of the stench of carrion and blood.

This is an open plain. The originally fertile and beautiful land was destroyed by corpse soldiers all over the mountains and plains. On the flanks of this huge army of corpse soldiers, a team of pathfinders and a group of evil cultivators were fighting. , two nearby teams of detective horses were wandering around the edge recording intelligence.

This is the third day after the encounter in Yuma County...

After Wang Ping and his army occupied Yuma County, they used the mountain village in the rear valley as a supply transfer station and went south for hundreds of miles, clearing out the corpse soldiers along the way. Yesterday, they occupied Huiping County, which is located on the main transportation road, and opened up the connection with the main force. After the army's official route, they headed south again early this morning.

a quarter of an hour later...

The Qi training team got the information they wanted and retreated decisively with the wounded. The evil cultivators did not pursue them. They wrapped their bodies with Taiyin Qi and mingled among the corpse soldiers, watching the retreat of the Qi practitioners coldly. .

The large force twenty miles away in the rear received the intelligence brought back by the fast horse two quarters of an hour later. General Li Rong immediately ordered to stop the advance, and ordered the soldiers to put on their equipment as quickly as possible and find a place with relatively high terrain. High mountains and forests array.

On the right wing of the military formation, on the top of an old tree, Wang Ping sat cross-legged. He looked up at the sky from time to time. The sky was extremely dark. The Yuqing Sect's ability to control the weather had negative effects. I don't know how long it will rain for. Heavy rain is brewing in the clouds.

"This atmosphere is so uncomfortable."

Yulian returned to her original body length, with most of her body wrapped around the tree trunk, and her head lying on Wang Ping's knees, looking a little lethargic.

"This is the truth of this world..."

"makes sense."

Yu Lian raised her head and looked at a river in the distance and said, "After the battle is over, I'm going to catch shrimps in the river."

Wang Pingping nodded with a smile and looked at the militia team forming up below. Many of them were participating in large-scale combat for the first time. Their inexperience made the military formation look uncoordinated, which attracted the attention of the officers leading the team. Swearing.

Then, Wang Ping looked behind him again. The Qi practitioners from Qianmuguan were all squatting on the top of the tree, ready to attack at any time. Zhao Qing and Liu Shuang were on his left and right respectively.

"Alert... alert..."

The herald running back and forth below conveyed the orders of the supreme commander, his voice drawn out so long that it sounded like he was singing.

Wang Ping took out the wild rice cup and conducted a divination carefully. The divination showed that there would be some difficulties ahead, but there would be no danger.

This kind of hexagram is what Wang Ping dislikes the most. He tried to throw out a few more hexagrams, but they were all messy and did not show any hexagrams.

"Calm down..."

The rain lotus grew back to one foot long and wrapped around the wrist of Wang Ping's left hand.

The emotions of the two thousand sergeants and tens of thousands of militiamen could easily be substituted for Wang Ping, making him anxious and eager for a hearty battle.

This sentiment may be better in such an occasion, but it is not in line with Wang Pingxiu's method.

Soon, Wang Ping calmed down, and the wood spirit essence slowly expanded outward through the old tree under him, while the rain lotus quickly grew in size and floated around Wang Ping. The spiritual energy on the surface of their bodies quickly merged together.

Liu Shuang looked at her master with envy. She had wanted a spiritual pet for a long time and had been fantasizing about whether Yulian could give birth to cubs. She wanted to find a chance to ask her master, but Yulian always answered her question when she asked. He suddenly appeared on the way out, and then stared at her with his penetrating eyes, making her feel terrified.

"Your apprentice is trying to trick me again."

Yu Lian complained in Wang Ping's spiritual sea, "You make so much money, give her tens of thousands taels to buy a spiritual pet." Wang Ping has also been thinking about this issue. The problem is that Liu Shuang has not yet confirmed whether he wants to practice or not. "The Art of Gathering Wood", if you don't practice this set of secret techniques, you can't choose a water attribute spiritual pet, otherwise the attributes will be incompatible, the progress of your cultivation will be slow, and in serious cases, it will cause the collapse of the air sea.

"Wait until she chooses the direction of the secret technique."

Wang Ping responded to Yu Lian while looking towards the end of the broad plain covered with rice fields. The sky there seemed to be darker. At this time, the Qi practitioner on the highest cliff of the mountain sent a signal to find the enemy.

The Chinese army received the signal and sent dozens of heralds, continuing to shout: "Alert... alert..."

The herald's slogan stabilized the hearts of tens of thousands of soldiers. Then, the ground shook slightly, and a large number of corpse soldiers with rotting skin appeared on the horizon.

In the world of spiritual energy, when they march, there are countless sharp sounds like the whistling of the wind. They are ghostly creatures teasing the life forms of the material world.

The battle was started by Taoist Martian and his disciples. They collectively communicated with the fire spirit to ignite the flowing spiritual energy, and ignited the controllable flames among the dense army of corpse soldiers.

Then there was a disgusting smell that drifted into the mountains and forests with the sea breeze. Some people who were in poor health fainted directly after smelling the smell. Finally, it was Taoist Yuanqing who took action to build the Yufeng Sect of Yuqing. The magic circle blew away the smell to stabilize the morale of the army.

The second wave of fighting was led by two thousand soldiers. The steel front formed by them pressed forward decisively when the corpse soldiers rushed over. With the strongest impact of the corpse soldiers, the militiamen on the left and right wings were only able to survive under their leadership. I can grit my teeth and keep up.

The Qi Practitioners faced off against the Taiyin Evil Cultivators on the opposite side, maintaining a delicate balance.

As for the archers... when fighting corpse soldiers, archers are useless at all, because even if they are shot into a sieve, they can still continue to charge!
  After the battle lasted for an hour, the corpse soldiers retreated like a tide, retreated to the end of the horizon, and began to wander aimlessly.

A quarter of an hour later.

General Li Rong issued an order: withdraw the troops.

Of course, before withdrawing the troops, a fire needs to be lit to completely burn the remaining corpses and rotten meat in the fighting area.

The army retreated all the way to Huiping County.

When resting at night, Wang Ping got the casualty information of today's battle. The soldiers were protected by armor. Only [-] people died, but more than [-] people were injured, and they were all infected with corpse poison. Wang Ping's "Aoki" was needed. Technique' treatment.

The casualties of the militiamen...we haven't had time to count them because of the tight schedule.

When Wang Ping treated the wounded soldiers and returned to the camp at Qianmuguan, Guangxuan had been waiting for a long time. He was injured and did not participate in today's battle.

"Military information has arrived from several other armies, and today they were all blocked by corpse soldiers."

After Wang Ping sat down, Guangxuan analyzed: "The Taiyin secret method cannot control so many corpse soldiers at one time. It must be the effect of a certain magic weapon, and the cost will be very high."

Wang Ping also had the same speculation, which was not good news for him.

Zhao Qing on the side expressed Wang Ping's worries, "The best way now is to find this magic weapon... This kind of work will definitely fall on us!"

"If this is the case, I guess there will be three days at most before the action is taken. The higher-ups will use these days to consume the cost of using the magic soldiers on the other side... In other words, if the people above are ruthless enough to make the decision, You can also achieve the same effect by directly using the lives of your soldiers!"

Guangxuan's tone suddenly became cold, "It depends on the choice above..."
