Chapter 258 Ambush
After a month, people from all over the Boundless Sea gathered in Tianbao City, and the number of people exceeded 100,000.
More than 80% of them came from the eastern sea area, and only some leaders of major sects and schools came from the western sea area.
This was also a deliberate arrangement by the three major sects of Thunder Mountain, so as to avoid alerting the enemy due to the large-scale mobilization of cultivators in the western sea area.
After more than ten days of deployment and arrangements, the entire Western Expedition army was divided into three routes: left, center, and right, each with 100,000 troops.
Of course, there are only 30,000 troops in each group now, and the rest of the troops will depend on the sects in the western sea area.
After the three parties finished their discussion, they went their separate ways. Lei Tingshan took the middle route, which was to go west from the Zizhu Sea Area all the way to the Red Dragon Sea Area.
If a hundred thousand troops don't gather together or rush forward in a swarm, it would be too disorganized!
At present, because the Zizhu Sea is closer to the east and has more human monks, there has basically been no conflict between sirens and humans.
The real battle between the two sides will not begin until they cross two or three more sea areas to the west.
One hundred thousand troops may seem like a large number, but when placed in the vast western sea area, it is pitifully small.
Not to mention far away, there are more than 100,000 monks living in Tianbao City.
The central route now under the jurisdiction of Thunder Mountain extends from the Purple Pearl Sea to the Red Dragon Sea, and even to the sea area to the west, totaling eight or nine sea areas, spanning more than two million miles.
Such a large area still mainly relies on local monks. Thunder Mountain and foreign monks can only play a supporting role.
In fact, it is not to say that the strength of the cultivators in the western sea area is weaker than that of the sea monsters. The main reason is that the various sea areas and even the various sects are all scattered and disunited, and they were defeated one by one by the sea monsters.
The westward expedition of the three major sects including Thunder Mountain was more of a rallying cry to unite the monks in the west, but the local monks were the ones who really made the effort.
There are many people who can understand this matter, but understanding and actually doing it are two different things. Only the three major sects have the strength to command the heroes.
Chen Yunhao also received a mission to lead a team of 500 people, which was considered the vanguard, to the Red Shrimp Sea.
The Red Shrimp Sea is adjacent to the Red Dragon Sea, where sirens are rampant and most of the islands have been occupied by them.
Chen Yunhao once lived in the Red Dragon Sea, and the original two fairy islands had long been conquered by the Red Dragon King.
It is said that only the so-called two immortals and a few disciples escaped, and all the hundreds of thousands of monks on the island were eaten by the sea monster.
Erxian Island has fallen, not to mention other small islands. Now the Red Dragon Sea is no longer a territory controlled by humans.
Because Chen Yunhao's true strength has reached the Nascent Soul stage, he can lead a team alone.
There are 500 people in a team. In addition to him who is a Nascent Soul cultivator, there are 20 Golden Core cultivators, and the rest are Foundation Establishment cultivators.
There were dozens of teams of his size in the middle, and they were sent to different sea areas.
Their main purpose is to support the monks in the local waters to stop the expansion of the sirens, and then force them back to the Red Dragon Sea little by little.
Chixia Island is one of the destinations of Chen Yunhao's trip and it is also a place he is familiar with.
Chixia Island is the largest island in the Chixia Sea and also the last base of human monks in the Chixia Sea.
The team led by Chen Yunhao consists of 500 people, whose origins are very complex. There are local cultivators, cultivators from the east, and independent cultivators.
As the saying goes, there is no gain without pain. This kind of war between humans and demons is dangerous but also an opportunity for cultivators, so there are quite a few cultivators who want to join the war.
The real front-line command tent of Thunder Mountain was also moved to Chixia Island.
Two thousand miles away from Chixia Island, there is a small island with an area of three thousand miles.
Previously, tens of thousands of mortals and a small family of immortal cultivators lived on this island.
At this time, the entire island had long been deserted, and exposed human skeletons and demon skeletons could be seen in many wilderness areas.
At nightfall, a dozen monks lit a bonfire on a flat ground near the coast.
More than a dozen monks sat around the campfire, including Chen Yunhao.
This island fell as early as last year.
However, sirens will only slaughter all living things on the island and generally will not occupy the island. After all, most sirens cannot live out of water for a long time.
Chen Yunhao’s task was to kill a large number of the sirens’ manpower in the Red Shrimp Sea area.
Monks can enter the sea, but they can never defeat the sirens in the sea.
Therefore, the best way is to lure the snake out, lure the siren to the island, and then surround and destroy it!
"Senior Chen, do you think this sea monster will be fooled?"
Except for Chen Yunhao, all the others present were cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the others were hiding around.
"Of course they will. This place is not far from Chixia Island, where the Sirens gather. Don't worry, wait two hours and see..."
Chen Yunhao was full of confidence.
Since ancient times, humans and demons have been incompatible. The peace in recent years is simply because the balance between the two sides has not been broken.
Now that the human race is weak in the Red Shrimp Sea, it is normal for the sirens to pursue them relentlessly.
Besides, human monks are like tonic pills to sirens. Swallowing a human monk can shorten their cultivation years, which is a huge temptation for sirens.
Chen Yunhao has been getting along with these monks for some time. In particular, Chen Yunhao does not have the airs of a disciple from a big sect and is rather approachable.
Therefore, the foundation-building cultivators surrounding him chatted and laughed with Chen Yunhao, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.
"Here it comes... Everyone, please retreat slowly, don't rush."
Just after an hour, Chen Yunhao, who was originally joking, turned serious.
Some monks who couldn't hold back their excitement leaned over to look at the seashore, but they only saw that the sea was calm.
Chen Yunhao's spiritual consciousness had been practicing the art of forging the soul, so although his magic power was only at the early stage of the Golden Core, the strength of his spiritual consciousness had already reached the late stage of the Golden Core.
Although they didn't discover anything, these Foundation Establishment cultivators were still relatively obedient. They stood up one by one and slowly retreated.
After a few breaths, huge splashes appeared on the sea surface, and huge sirens emerged from the water.
These sea monsters come in all kinds of forms, but without exception, their strength is equivalent to that of humans at the Foundation Establishment stage or above. Judging from the number that has surfaced, there are at least two or three hundred of them.
Moreover, the strength of two of them has reached level three, which is equivalent to the strength of humans in the Golden Core stage.
This time, Chen Yunhao did not set up any formation in the ambush, for fear of alerting the enemy.
Chen Yunhao led a group of foundation-building cultivators and walked towards the depths of the island at a moderate pace.
Hundreds of sirens behind them climbed onto the island one by one and quickly chased Chen Yunhao and others.
