Chapter 297: The Great Salt Lake Crisis is Resolved, Taking Advantage of the Situation to Ambush
"Da Jin, this is the location of the five demon-luring grasses I just obtained through torture."
Li Dingguo used his spiritual power to condense a map, entered the sea of consciousness of the big golden eagle, and said to it, "Go to these five places as quickly as possible and find those demon-luring grasses. I will use my life artifact, the big tripod, to take them away."
"In less than half an hour, the first group of monsters will arrive here. We must hurry up and lead them away."
The giant golden eagle is a spiritual beast, and the level five spiritual herb, the demon-luring herb, will not have any effect on it.
The same kind of demon beasts and spirit beasts may look similar, but they are actually two different species.
If a spiritual beast's bloodline is upgraded, it will become a divine beast.
However, after the bloodline of the monster beast is upgraded, it will become a monster clan.
There is an essential difference between the two.
"Chirp..."
Da Jin quickly memorized the map sent by his master, neighed, and flew towards a large salt field of the Fuxing Army not far away.
A moment later, it arrived at its first destination.
Most of the Fuxing soldiers and civilians here have seen their own golden eagles.
Although they couldn't tell which of the three golden eagles was which, they were sure it was their own golden eagle.
"It's the commander-in-chief riding a golden eagle!"
"The commander-in-chief is so anxious, is something going to happen?"
"Hehe! With the commander-in-chief here, what is there to be afraid of?"
"Yes, yes! We, the Restoration Army, have encountered so many enemies in the past, but we defeated them all!"
"That's right! This great salt lake was previously occupied by two large Tartar tribes, but now it belongs to our Renaissance Army, right?"...
As tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians stationed in the salt field watched and discussed, the sharp eyes of the golden eagle finally discovered a demon-attracting grass that was thicker than other grasses on a meadow in the salt field.
This demon-luring grass, which looks similar to pasture grass, emits a special scent that can deceive most humans, but it cannot deceive Da Jin's keen sense of smell.
"Whoosh!"
Li Dingguo jumped down from the back of the giant golden eagle and summoned his own natal divine weapon, the cauldron. Then he quickly and carefully dug out the extremely rare demon-luring grass without any damage and put it into the Human Emperor Cauldron.
As a junior alchemy grandmaster, he had inherited a very complete junior alchemy technique, but he was very clear that the Demon-Luring Grass had more than just the ability to lure Qi Refining Realm demon beasts and greatly enhance their mental strength and bloodline.
With the basic alchemy inheritance he obtained, he could use mature demon-luring grass to refine a third-grade top-grade bloodline pill.
This bloodline pill is not only useful for demon beasts in the Qi Refining Realm, but it has a stronger effect on any demon beasts and spirit beasts than simply swallowing attractant herbs!
Li Dingguo had long wanted to try to refine this special elixir, but he had never heard of any news about where the demon-luring grass could be found in the world today.
I never expected that on this trip north, I would be able to harvest this extremely rare monster-luring grass.
The reason why he was obsessed with this third-grade top-grade bloodline pill was because of the two top-grade spirit dogs, Da Huang and Xiao Huang.
Because of the shackles of their own bloodlines, they are unable to break the limit of their own bloodlines even with the assistance of the Five-Colored Sacred Tree.
As a result, these two top-grade spirit dogs are now trapped at the peak realm of level four spirit beasts, unable to break through no matter what.
If they don't get a great opportunity in the future, their lives will be like this.
Wan'er has deep feelings for these two top-grade spirit dogs. After she went south to Lingshan Island last time, she mentioned them to Li Dingguo several times, and her words were full of helplessness.
As the strength of the Fuxing Army grows rapidly, the role that Da Huang and Xiao Huang can play in the future will become smaller and smaller.
This is not what Wan'er and Li Dingguo want to see.
That's why Li Dingguo was so obsessed with the luring herbs.
However, the demon-luring grass harvested this time will definitely not be used immediately to refine bloodline pills, but will be planted on the island in the middle of the lake of the base camp so that they can reproduce in large numbers.
The older the demon-luring grass is, the better the effect of the bloodline pill made from it will be.
Li Dingguo would certainly not waste natural resources, so he would try his best to cultivate the five hundred-year-old monster-luring herbs he harvested this time into natural treasures of higher age.
With the magical five-colored sacred tree on the island in the middle of the lake, he has a unique advantage in cultivating various spiritual herbs and roots.
Another quarter of an hour or so passed, and Li Dingguo had dug out all five hundred-year-old demon-luring herbs without any damage, and stored them in his own natal divine artifact, the cauldron.
"Dajin, we must leave the Great Salt Lake immediately."
"After we are three thousand miles away from here, I will take out all these demon-luring grasses and let them continue to emit special mysterious aura fluctuations to lead all the demon beasts headed by the Qi Refining Realm who are attacking this time to the predetermined battlefield."
Li Dingguo smiled coldly and immediately gave instructions to the golden eagle.
"Chirp..."
Da Jin nodded his head repeatedly, expressing his great agreement with Li Dingguo's arrangement.
As Li Dingguo flew back to the back of the big golden eagle and sat down, the big golden eagle flapped its wings and flew towards the sky south of the Great Salt Lake. Since they were going to deal with the Qi Refining Realm monsters entrenched on the Dongtao Prairie, the battlefield they chose must be as close to the soldiers of the Fuxing Army as possible.
This would prevent the soldiers of the Restoration Army who would arrive later from having to spend at least a month on the journey.
If you want to have a decisive battle with so many monsters, the choice of battlefield is extremely important.
It would be irrational to fight head-on with these huge groups of monsters. We must let our four land artillery battalions serve as the main force in the battle.
Only by fully unleashing the power of hundreds of psychic cannons and thousands of psychic crossbow carts, and dealing a head-on blow to the monster tribes that have almost lost their minds, can they be severely damaged in one fell swoop, and thus win this war.
If the two sides were to clash head-on, the tens of thousands of Blue Wolf tribe members alone would be enough to cause headaches for the tens of thousands of Renaissance Army soldiers heading north to fight.
Although the other party almost lost their minds under the influence of the monster-luring grass, the fighting power of these monsters was not affected at all, and was even more powerful than usual.
Faced with the desperate siege of massive monsters of all levels, the soldiers of the Fusion Army heading north this time had only half the strength of the five great beast legions, which added up to less than 100,000 soldiers. They were simply unable to withstand the siege of at least hundreds of thousands of monsters of various types.
These monsters not only run on land and fly in the sky, but also burrow underground.
Therefore, at the selected battlefield location, Li Dingguo also needs to set up a third-level top-grade protective magic array.
This is to prevent the soldiers from suffering from the three-dimensional attack of massive monsters, and becoming flustered and overwhelmed, and they will probably be unable to cope with it.
If humans do not make full use of formations, which are humans' ultimate weapon against monsters, they will be no match for the large-scale coalition of monsters.
Fortunately, Li Dingguo is a master of primary formations, so it won’t take long even if he temporarily sets up a third-grade top-grade formation.
As for the spiritual energy crystals needed for setting up the formation, the Renaissance Army brought at least hundreds of thousands of magic cores of various levels with them on this expedition, which were enough for setting up the formation and for the consumption of psychic cannons and spiritual crossbow carts.
The golden eagle was extremely fast. In less than half an hour, it had flown south and was three thousand miles away from the Great Salt Lake.
Li Dingguo then took out the five hundred-year-old demon-luring herbs from his natal divine artifact, the cauldron.
The special aura that had been blocked for a while by the natal divine artifact, the cauldron, continued to spread out continuously.
As the golden eagle flew rapidly southward, the Qi-refining realm monsters that were attracted by the monster-luring grass led the group to change direction and continued to rush towards the direction of the golden eagle.
Fortunately, they were not truly lost their minds, they just couldn't control the impulses of their own blood. They also knew how to command the body refining realm monsters to move towards the target together.
But this would greatly slow down the speed of these Qi Refining Realm monsters, and also give Li Dingguo and the soldiers of the Fuxing Army more time to prepare.
As the absolute king of the sky, the golden eagle with the peak level five cultivation base is much faster than those monsters in the body refining realm.
Even those flying beasts in the Body Refining Realm are far behind Da Jin and are not on the same level at all.
Just four days later, the golden eagle, flying at a rapid speed, discovered a large group of cavalry coming towards it.
This huge cavalry team in black clothes and armor is undoubtedly the main force of the Restoration Army heading north to fight.
Dajin has a mysterious connection with Xiaojin and can clearly sense the location of Xiaojin who came with Hongmei in this battle. This time he flew all the way south without taking any detours.
It easily found the Fusion Army's troops heading north on the vast prairie.
"Chirp..."
A big golden eagle suddenly flew in front of the main force of the Fuxing Army, and surrounded Da Jin and Li Dingguo, neighing with joy.
This is Xiao Jin.
This time, it accompanied Hongmei on the expedition and was also responsible for serving as a scout to lead the soldiers.
After reuniting, the mother and son golden eagles played in the air for a while, then swooped down and landed in front of Hongmei and other core generals in the center of the army.
Hongmei and others have ordered the soldiers to temporarily stop advancing and make a decision after understanding the results of Li Dingguo's investigation.
"We have met the Commander-in-Chief!"...
When these generals saw Li Dingguo jump off the back of the Great Jin and come to them who had already dismounted, they hurriedly saluted in unison.
Li Dingguo breathed a sigh of relief after joining up with his main army.
Previously, he and the golden eagle had been following various groups of monsters as they headed south, and he was still a little nervous.
Along the way south, he discovered that the groups of monsters following the golden eagle had a total of more than thirty level five monsters.
Among them, there are nearly ten level five demon birds, including two level five peak demon birds.
He saw this with his own eyes. The number of Qi Refining Realm monsters chasing after the Great Jin must be even greater!
Thinking that there were dozens of powerful monster tribes behind the giant golden eagle, it was impossible to say that Li Dingguo did not feel a lot of pressure.
That is because these Qi Refining Realm monsters have to travel with their own clans, so they cannot reach their maximum speed.
Otherwise, they would ignore the body-refining realm monsters of their own clan and chase madly from all directions, and would be able to surround the golden eagle in the air.
At that time, it was estimated that the golden eagle could only use its innate magical powers to escape the opponent's interception and siege.
