The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 123 A precarious situation (please subscribe!)

After sending out the communication talisman, Xu Zhiyu looked at the confused tribesmen and ignored them. He first helped Xu Shengxiao sit down.

Looking at Xu Shengxiao, who was doing exercises to heal his injuries, there was nothing serious except that his face was pale. Only then did Xu Zhiyu feel relieved and went to check on the situation of other tribesmen.

He first came to Xu Zhikai, patted him on the back, and then asked:

"Zhikai, wake up, wake up quickly, how do you feel?"

Xu Zhikai slowly opened his eyes, his eyes dull. After a while, his eyes slowly focused. He looked at Xu Zhiyu who was holding him in front of him and asked:
  "Brother Nineteen, what just happened?"

Is this amnesia? Xu Zhiyu thought about it and then asked:
  "Zhikai, do you really not remember what just happened?"

"I just remember that a pair of huge eyes appeared in the sky. I looked at it and was hit by the golden light emitted from its eyes, and then I didn't know anything else!"

"Well, that's what happened. According to Grandpa Sixteen, the one who attacked us was a fourth-level demon king. What do you think now?"

"Hiss, the fourth-level demon king, isn't that the same as the human Jindan Daoist? I'm fine, but my brain is a little messed up, but there are no other injuries!"

Xu Zhikai first expressed shock at the fourth-order demon king mentioned by Brother Nineteen, then checked his body again, and then replied to Xu Zhiyu.

"Okay, then go check on Zhinan and the others to see if they are in any serious condition. Grandpa Sixteen is injured, and I want to protect him here!"

"Yes, Brother Nineteen!"

Xu Zhikai shook his head, dispelling the discomfort in his consciousness, and went to wake up others. Xu Zhicheng and Xu Zhinan happened to be beside him. He woke them up first, handed Xu Zhiqiang to them, and continued to check on other tribesmen in the distance.

"Hey, Brother Thirty-Six, wake up, don't sleep, the sun is shining on you!"

Xu Zhicheng was still worried about Xu Zhiqiang's behavior of exposing his background just now, so he wanted to tease him.

Xu Zhiqiang slowly woke up amidst the shouts of his clan sisters and clan brothers. Maybe it was because he was too close to the two foundation-building monks just now. The attack he received was relatively heavy, so although he woke up, his mind was dizzy and his body Unsteady, just when he stood up, his legs suddenly became weak and he knelt down.

"Uh, Zhicheng, Zhinan, what's wrong with me?"

"It's okay, Brother Thirty-Six, we seem to be attacked by high-level monsters, everyone is like this!"

Xu Zhinan replied that he saw that Xu Zhiqiang couldn't even stand straight, so he quickly supported half of his body, and then motioned to Xu Zhicheng to support the other side.

"Yes, Brother Thirty-Six, you see we are all fine, what's wrong with you? Stop kneeling, the ground is cold, it will be bad if there are sequelae! Come on, Zhinan, let's help Thirty-Six Brother, go over there and have a rest.”

Xu Zhinan glanced at Xu Zhicheng, not forgetting to ridicule Xu Zhiqiang even at this time.

"What about the attacking monsters? Why didn't you see them? Have they already attacked and killed them?"

Xu Zhiqiang's mind was very confused now, and he asked a little confused.

"No, the monster has left and did not attack the formation!" Xu Zhiqing replied, if the monster attacked, where would their lives be?

"Yes, Brother Thirty-Six, you don't know that at the moment you knelt down, the world suddenly changed dramatically, and the situation changed color, which scared those monster beasts so much. The leader's face also changed drastically when he saw it. Then he led the little demons and fled in a hurry!"

"Brother 48, I heard it. You are making fun of me, your brother, right? You wait for me to recover from my injuries. Do you think I will beat you?"

"Don't, Brother Thirty-six, I'm not seeing you seriously injured and feeling uncomfortable, so why don't I tell you a joke to cheer you up!" When it comes to fighting, Xu Zhicheng can't do it. Xu Zhiqiang is a swordsman, and as we all know, the swordsman's fighting ability is... Outstanding, so he apologized quickly in order for Brother Thirty-Six to find fault in the future.

"That's right, Brother Forty-Eight, you don't care about time, occasion or place when you are joking. You are so evil!"

Xu Zhinan also denounced him.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I'll shut up, okay?"

Half an hour later, Xu Zhikai, who was sent out by Xu Zhiyu to check the situation, returned. However, looking at Xu Shengxiao who was still recovering from his injuries, Xu Zhikai did not speak. Instead, he sent a message to Xu Zhiyu, and then the two of them came to the side to talk.

"Brother Nineteen, I just checked the clan members everywhere and found that they just fell asleep and were not seriously injured. They are all awake now!"

"Hmm! You're doing great."

After praising Xu Zhiqiang, Xu Zhiyu fell into thinking: "This fourth-level demon king is indeed worthy of his reputation. He just glared at us and made everyone lose their fighting ability. It is really terrible!"

"But it seems that it mainly targets the two foundation-building monks, Grandpa Sixteen and me, and does not pay too much attention to the family's Qi-training monks, otherwise it will definitely be doomed this time!"

Xu Zhiyu also felt a strong sense of powerlessness in his heart. This cannot be blamed on him being too cowardly. It can only be said that the enemy is too powerful, leaving him with no ability to fight back.

"By the way, what's the situation with the monsters? I just saw them surrounding this place, but there aren't many of them. I'm afraid they're not just here?"

Because he wanted to protect Xu Shengxiao, he only saw the situation outside the city wall, but when he saw that there were only two second-level monsters leading nearly a hundred monsters around, he felt something was wrong, so he asked this question.

"Nineteenth Brother Mingjian, it is indeed the case. I am here just to invite you to take a look!"

"Okay, let me go with you!"

Looking at Xu Shengxiao, who was still struggling to heal for a while, Xu Zhiyu nodded and agreed. He is the one with the highest cultivation level here. He can't do nothing and must take responsibility.

After following Xu Zhikai around for a while and returning, Xu Zhiyu's face was as heavy as water.

He found that this group of monsters was not simple, or that the high-level monster behind them was not simple.

I saw that the monsters were divided into eight teams, guarding the northwest, north, northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, and west directions respectively, and the town was surrounded by water. If you look down from a high place, you will find that they are based on Gan The eight trigrams of , Kan, Gen, Zhen, Xun, Li, Kun, and Dui are arranged in directions, forming a huge Bagua formation.

Moreover, the guard forces deployed in all directions are also different. The north is the strongest. To the north is guarded by a second-order high-grade monster. To the northwest and northeast are both second-order mid-grade monsters. The south has the weakest defense, with only a second-order monster. There are lower-level monsters in the southwest and southeast as well.

As for the reason for this arrangement, it is actually easy to explain. The north is close to the human race, and the south is close to the demon clan. They are not afraid that Xu Zhiyu and others will go to the demon clan's territory, which is no different from a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, but they are afraid that they will go to the human race's territory and give them a front and back A flanking attack, although the Xu clan people here cannot do this with their strength, the monsters are still prepared to guard against such a situation.

If ordinary monsters besieged a city, they would definitely be disorganized. It's not that Xu Zhiyu underestimated the monsters. Before they broke through to the third level, their intelligence was not much different from that of wild beasts. It was impossible to imagine and arrange formations.

Coupled with what Xu Shengxiao said about the descendants of the royal family, this made his heart slowly sink.

The current situation is not optimistic, and can even be said to be precarious. Now that their highest combat strength has been eliminated, they don't know when they will recover. Now everything depends on him.
