Chapter 2731 I'll cover the rear!
Three of these people were working together, and they were just one step away from injuring Ling Jinbao and killing He Yue.
"They're all immortals and demons!"
Immortals and demons? Everyone was shocked.
The remnants of Zhao Shuo's troops, who had been fleeing all the way ahead, suddenly made a 180-degree turn and charged towards Yang Sheng and He Yue.
The immortals and demons have both made their move; their mission is complete. What are we afraid of now? Let's go for it!
Seeing this, Yang Sheng decisively said to He Yue, "Crown Prince Yue, let's remove the Dragon-Trapping Mound and ask the Earth Mother for help."
The Dragon-Trapping Ridge is the territory ruled by the Earth Mother. Once you enter that forest, your opponent's advantage will be greatly reduced.
He Yue desperately wanted to kill Zhao Shuo to avenge the murder of his son, but the moment he saw the Immortal Demon Bega, his mind cleared, and he immediately nodded and ordered: "All troops change direction and head towards Kunlong Cave!"
If we delay any longer, our side will be entangled with the enemy, and it will be difficult to leave.
In war, one must play to one's strengths and avoid one's weaknesses; one must not act impulsively.
“The Bega Immortal Demon has been lying in ambush here for a long time. It seems that Zhao Shuo is just a bait. Could their target be…” Ling Jinbao subconsciously looked in the direction of the Dragon-Trapping Cave.
It wasn't that he looked down on He Yue, but dealing with the Crown Prince of Shen Kingdom didn't require so many immortals and demons to intervene.
The enemy is lurking here, plotting something far-reaching. Zhao Shuo sent assassins to kill the Crown Prince of Shen several months ago. If Bega began planning this back then, then it's truly a remarkable conspiracy.
At the very least, the other party must have anticipated the appearance of Mother Earth!
No wonder he always felt that there were some strange and unexpected things that happened after the Earth Mother came to the Dragon-Trapping Cave this time.
Something unusual must be going on.
A green shadow streaked through the air, and Ling Jinbao immediately heard Immortal Mingke's voice:
"Return immediately! Dozens of immortals and demons have infiltrated the Earth Mother Plains, and the Earth Mother has lost contact."
Ling Jinbao was horrified.
Dozens of immortals and demons infiltrated the Earth Mother Plain?
He also hurriedly sent a telepathic message back: "I and the Crown Prince of Shen were ambushed, and Zhao Shuo received reinforcements from more than ten Bega Immortals and Demons!"
This was indeed a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
The enemy deliberately used Zhao Shuo to lure out the garrison of the Earth Mother Plain, and then arranged for more than ten immortals, demons and elites of Bega to wait there, in order to keep them there and disperse the defensive forces of the Earth Mother Plain.
Yang Sheng's army had already left Kunlonghu some distance away, and it wouldn't be easy for them to rush back immediately.
These nine hundred men outside are just a slightly stronger army, but in the Earth Mother Plains, with the help of the Earth Mother's power, they can bring great resistance to the enemy.
To deal with these nine hundred plains garrison soldiers, the enemy was able to mobilize more than ten immortals and demons. Ling Jinbao couldn't even imagine how many powerful enemies would attack the Earth Mother Plains and the Panlong Secret Realm!
He also knew that Immortal Mingke had been unable to contact the Nine Nether Emperor, so now was the time when the defenses of the Earth Mother Plain and the Panlong Secret Realm were at their weakest. Yang Sheng's army had to return quickly and could not afford to suffer any losses outside!
Seeing more than ten immortals and demons rushing towards them, their magical powers and artifacts already poised to be unleashed, Ling Jinbao slapped his horse's rump and jumped to the ground: "Quickly back to the plains, I'll cover the rear!"
"Immortal Ling!" Yang Sheng was startled and was about to reach out to pull him back when Ling Jinbao pulled out a palm-leaf fan from his bosom and fanned the black-armored army seven or eight times. Several gusts of wind immediately swept through the air, each one stronger than the last, pushing the army forward from back to front!
It feels incredibly powerful.
Propelled by the strong wind, Yang Sheng's army gained at least 30% more speed, quickly leaving the pursuers behind. Only Ling Jinbao's words still echoed in their ears: "Don't worry, I'll be there soon!"
This gust of wind, with its help, can last for at least fifty breaths.
However, the palm-leaf fan in Ling Jinbao's hand had seven or eight ridges and looked like it was about to break.
This treasure is called the "Wind-Catching Fan," and it can catch and send wind, among many other wonderful uses. But at this critical moment, he didn't hesitate to damage this magical artifact to send his teammate on his way.
I feel so sorry for him; he's going to have a major hemorrhage today.
Ling Jinbao took the gourd out of his pocket again, shook it, and sighed:
"I knew there was something wrong with Ryūhori Nishi. Sure enough, the red bean sticky rice cake wasn't that delicious."
Then, he poured all the wine from the gourd into his mouth, not leaving a drop, and shook the gourd a couple of times.
He changed direction and forcefully exhaled a cloud of wine mist towards the flying immortal demon. He then fanned himself vigorously with his fan, and the wine mist transformed into thick white fog, which filled the entire forest and covered his figure in just two or three breaths.
The whereabouts of Yang Sheng's and He Yue's armies are unknown.
The immortals and demons tried several wind-summoning spells, but they couldn't disperse the thick fog.
This fog is so thick that even the sharpest eyes cannot see through it.
By this point, the fan was completely broken. Ling Jinbao threw the fan away and pulled a snail shell from his pocket, tossing it on the ground.
"Big, big, big!"
This snail shell is the size of a fist, definitely the largest snail shell an ordinary person could see, but Ling Jinbao still wanted it to be even bigger.
It was obedient and instantly took over the area where the thick fog was, turning the woodland into a mountain peak.
It has pits and ridges, ravines and peaks, and a giant cave. The terrain is rugged, but lush and green, and it blends seamlessly with the original woodland.
If the thick fog were cleared away and viewed from above, the mountain would appear as a snail shell magnified countless times, with the large end down and the tail up.
Ling Jinbao was filled with regret, because this was the cave he had carefully prepared for himself for many years, but now he had to use it to defend against enemies.
This "Snail Ridge" is one of the treasures that He Lingchuan brought out from the Ghost King's Palace. It is a small grotto-heaven that was restored by a master and then bestowed upon Ling Jinbao.
Ling Jinbao spent three years refining it, investing a great deal of effort.
However, this small grotto and the thick fog alone were not enough to stop the dozen or so immortals and demons on the other side. So Ling Jinbao took off his beloved wine gourd and chanted, "Help me defend against the enemy, and I will return your freedom!"
After saying that, he bit his index finger, smeared the blood on the mouth of the gourd, then turned the gourd upside down and shook it.
The wine in the gourd had been used up, but what came out this time were a few wisps of green mist, which floated in mid-air and took shape, revealing the heads and faces of dozens of monsters.
This is a treasure gourd passed down through generations of his sect for capturing demons; it's just that Ling Jinbao usually uses it to hold wine.
Of course, he also collects monsters.
These monsters only released a wisp of their spirit, floating in mid-air and shaking their heads at him with mocking expressions.
They were trapped inside gourds, never seeing the light of day for many years. Simply regaining their freedom was not enough to vent their hatred.
Besides, without the flesh and blood of the gourd's owner, they wouldn't be able to recover their maximum strength.
This is the rule of the magic gourd, to prevent them from escaping.
Upon hearing this, Ling Jinbao cursed the sect's patriarch inwardly. What kind of mindless person could come up with such a setting?
But he had no choice; he still had to rely on these monsters to defend himself.
"Is hair okay?" Hair is not only derived from blood, but it is also a part of his body.
