The Xu family follows Taoism and seeks longevity

Chapter 134 Heavy Casualties (Please subscribe!)
  The formation emits brilliant light, and every time a monster beast hits it, the formation releases an attack, thus taking away the life of a monster beast. Similarly, pieces of spiritual stones are rapidly depleting their spiritual power and turning into powder. .

When Xu Zhiyu was manipulating the formation with all his strength to meet the enemy, the pale Xu Shengxiao appeared behind him. It seemed that Shihai's injury was not healed before he left the city to meet the enemy in a hurry, causing him serious injuries.

However, judging from the forelimb of the monster in his hand, the second-level monster he fought against did not take much advantage.

"Zhiyu, we just went out to fight against the enemy. How were the casualties on your side?"

Xu Shengxiao directly urged mana to be injected into the array, and while helping Xu Zhiyu stabilize the array, he asked in a deep voice.

"Grandpa Sixteen, there are no statistics on clan casualties yet, but"

Xu Zhiyu hesitated to speak, but he had already explained that the casualties should not be small this time, with three or four people dying at the hands of the armored tiger alone.

"It's the same on my side. I didn't take action at first, but I was observing the movements of the second-order monster. Unknown to me, a leopard-like monster suddenly appeared and attacked my people. I had no choice but to go out of the city to fight with it, but After all, we went a little too late, and the clan members were harmed a lot by that beast!"

"I have ordered Zhi'an to count the number of people. I believe there will be accurate news soon!"

In fact, when Xu Zhiyu first returned to the city, he also arranged for Xu Zhikai to do this.

The first-order monsters outside the city were like crazy. Under the command of the second-order monsters, they attacked the protective formation again and again without fear of death. Although the formation was shaken far away by the impact, it seemed that it would be destroyed in the next moment. It's like being broken, but this is all an illusion. If the spirit stones have not been exhausted, this formation will definitely remain strong.

The attack of the monster beast lasted for most of the day, and did not stop until the Golden Crow fell in the west and the Jade Rabbit rose in the east. It seemed that the second-level monster beast also knew that if it continued to attack like this, it would not cause any other harm except causing a large number of casualties to the first-order monster beast. After it worked, he led his little demon back.

However, Xu Zhiyu also discovered that this time the monsters did not stay at the south gate, but all moved north. He didn't know what this meant? But the monster will never give up!
  Looking at the monsters that were far away, Xu Zhiyu put away the formation plate, then quickly sat cross-legged, took out the second-level low-grade spiritual pill to restore mana - the Resurrection Pill, swallowed it, and used the technique to restore his mana. He was tired just now. It's so bad that my mana is almost exhausted.

Another three hours passed in the blink of an eye, and nearly 50% of his mana had been restored. It seemed that the elixir he bought at the auction was really useful. If he could meditate on his own to recover, it would probably take him two or three days, and that's it. It also costs a lot of spirit stones. You must know that there are no spiritual veins here. Spirit stones are needed for daily practice and recovery of mana.

This is also the reason why the family usually does not arrange clan members to guard here. The clan mountain has spiritual veins, and the clan members can use the spiritual veins to practice. When they come here, they can only use spiritual stones. You must know that one spiritual stone is enough for one person to practice. For a mid-Qi monk to practice for three days, it would cost more than 120 yuan a year. This cost is too high and the family cannot afford it.

Another reason is that when monks practice with spiritual stones, they do not completely absorb and utilize the spiritual power in the spiritual stones. In fact, only a small part is absorbed into the meridians, and most of it spills into the air, which will cause What a waste.

This problem does not exist in the family. A small part of the spiritual energy released from the spiritual veins is absorbed by the clan members, and most of it will also dissipate. However, the family has a clan-protecting formation that will intercept the scattered spiritual energy. Let them overflow and disappear, but be absorbed by the spiritual veins again, thus forming a perfect closed loop to maximize the use of spiritual energy.

Of course, spiritual veins usually require investment in spiritual stones to maintain them. It is not enough to just ask for them. They are essentially no different from spiritual minerals.

That is to say, for family monks to be stationed in the family town for a long time, in addition to the cost of spiritual stones, they also need to be equipped with a formation that cannot be too low-level. Take Taishi Town as an example. At least a high-level formation is needed to fully cover it. Some people may also ask, doesn't it need to be completely covered, just arrange a spirit gathering array or something like that for the place where the family monks live?
  Please, if that's the case, why did the family send you here? Come here for sightseeing, or go out to relax, that would lose the meaning of sending family monks to garrison! You might as well stay in the family, at least you won't waste a lot of spiritual stones.

Xu Zhiyu withdrew his magic power back to his Dantian and slowly opened his eyes. Although it was night now, there was a faint light flashing through his eyes, which seemed extremely bright in this dark night. Looking around, he saw people standing nearby. Xu Shengxiao and he were sitting opposite each other. The two looked at each other and stood up together.

Looking at the sad faces of the clansmen, Xu Zhiyu's heart sank. He knew that many family monks had been killed and injured today, but now it seemed that the situation was far beyond his expectation.

Seeing Xu Zhiyu's silence, Xu Shengxiao knew that Xu Zhiyu had never experienced such a thing, so he asked:
  "Zhi'an, Zhiyu, have you calculated the casualties among the family monks?"

Xu Zhian and Xu Zhian looked at each other and said sadly at the same time:

"The family monks from the north who participated in the defense against the monsters lost seven of them to death and three were seriously injured. One of their Dantians was destroyed!"

"The family monks in the south who participated in the defense against the monsters lost six lives and five were seriously injured, but all of them can be cured with elixirs!"

Xu Zhiyu was silent when he heard the two people's reply. There were fifty family monks who followed them here, plus eight clan members who stayed here, plus their two foundation-building monks, there were a total of sixty people.

One-third of the casualties were killed this time, which gave him a more direct understanding of the cruelty of the beast tide. In the past, he had wondered how the clan members with spiritual roots would be found every time they held a spirit testing conference every six years. They are all around fifteen. Calculating like this, after two hundred years, we will still have four to five hundred clansmen. Even if we exclude those who died unable to build the foundation, how come the number will be far greater than two hundred? Now he understood, understood everything! "

"Zhi'an, Zhikai, what happened to the bodies of the dead clan members? After being cremated according to clan rules, were they put into the urn?"

"Elder Ji Zhu, everything has been taken care of. Seriously injured clan members were given healing elixirs and sent special personnel to take care of them!" Xu Zhikai replied.

"Okay, if that's the case, let's go down there! In addition, the storage bags of the deceased clan members must be carefully kept. After returning to the clan, these must be handed over to their relatives. This cannot be careless!"

"Elder Foundation Establishment, most of those storage bags have been collected, and a few have been swallowed by monsters! The rest are all here, and I will leave them to you for safekeeping!" Xu Zhian said.

Xu Shengxiao signaled Xu Zhiyu to take it, but Xu Zhiyu shook his head sadly. He had the courage to face the armored tiger's blow yesterday that was enough to crack mountains and rocks, but he looked at the family monks' storage bags stained with blood and embroidered with the word "Xu". Bags, but he never had the courage to reach out and pick them up. Those things he put were too heavy and he wouldn't be able to lift them!

In the end, Xu Shengxiao took it and kept it somewhere close to him.

Looking at the tribesmen who were leaving with soft sobbing, and Xu Shengxiao who was standing beside him without saying a word, Xu Zhiyu looked up at the sky and happened to see:
  The stars in the sky are like arrows, and the moon is like a hook!
  Are the stars streaking across the sky the deceased tribesmen?
