Chapter 225: The demons wreak havoc and two people go missingAfter finally getting rid of the beast crisis, they encountered the earth demon disaster again.
It seemed that after he left, the Yunyang Sect had been in constant trouble.
“From the information we received, this time the demon disaster is actually related to the beast tide.
A large number of monsters gathered in the eastern part of Da Zhou.
The beast tide did not break out, but the monsters gathered here had nowhere to go.
The local demon in that area also picked up many demons for it to control.”
There is some truth in the saying that everything is connected.
The solution to the beast tide in the summer was never perfect.
The problems left behind led to the chaos caused by demons on earth.
After taking a look at the front line, Su Chen and Master Shang Xuan went to take a look at the tents stationed at the front line.
The two of them had dinner with a group of disciples at the front line.
Su Chen is now always inspecting the front line with the Great Elder, and everyone's opinions about Su Chen have changed.
Gong Zhujun, who was once full of doubts about Su Chen, is now silently looking at Su Chen in the crowd.
Think back to what I said and did at the beginning of the year.
In less than a year, Su Chen had already traveled with the Great Elder.
At that time, she was still questioning Su Chen's intention to steal the credit and contribution.
Now it seems so funny
After returning from the front line, Su Chen returned to the newly purchased courtyard.
Lately I always feel like time is passing too fast and there are too many things to do.
Before going to that mysterious world, he obtained a book related to mechanical arts, "Nine-curve Mechanical Arts".
On such a journey to the front line, Su Chen also felt that the mechanism would play a big role.
I have some free time today, so I started studying this mechanical technique.
Because the front line was advancing, many tall trees were cut down.
The price of timber sold in Tiangang City has been low recently.
Su Chen bought some directly and piled them in the yard.
The yard was originally empty and could accommodate it.
In "The Art of Nine-Curved Mechanisms", the mechanisms are divided into nine levels according to their complexity.
The simplest level is called "one song".
A mechanism of this type is the simplest mechanism.
In the classics, digging a hole and covering it up is also a kind of mechanism.
It seems like nonsense, after all, who doesn't know how to dig a hole?
But Su Chen understood the intentions of these sages.
In "Nine-bend Mechanism", the most difficult mechanism has a total of nine nodes.
Each song is a node, and one node drives the next node.
The more nodes there are, the more exquisite it seems, reflecting the ingenuity of the mechanism.
However, the predecessors who built these mechanisms exhausted their efforts in reducing the related nodes.
Every additional node increases the possibility of failure.
It takes nine nodes to trigger the complete mechanism. Any mistake in the middle will lead to different results and failure.
Therefore, in "Nine-curve Mechanical Technique", the use of simple mechanisms is also advocated.
To put it simply, if the problem can be solved by digging a hole, don't try to be a puppet to deal with it.
Not only is the process more difficult, but the success rate will even be lower.
Puppets can malfunction, get destroyed and break down.
But once a pit is dug, it is not so easy to be damaged.
The more Su Chen read, the more he felt that the sage who wrote "Nine-Curved Mechanical Technique" was extraordinary.
It's not pedantic and out of touch with reality.
Su Chen could clearly feel that this sage had a lot of practical experience.
Ordinary people really don't notice some of these problems.
Yunyang Sect is located further north and on higher ground.
In the eastern wilderness, the snow is also heavier.
In the past, even the people of Da Zhou thought that there was nothing to worry about on the eastern front of Yunyang Sect after winter. But early this morning, the high-ranking officials of Yunyang Sect received the news.
Something happened on the front line.
The disciple who reported the incident almost said "something happened on the front line again."
There has indeed been trouble on the Yunyang Sect's front line this year.
The sect's disciples all thought that after enduring the cold winter, they would be safe.
But the tragedy that happened just after dawn today should have shocked all the frontline disciples of the Yunyang Sect.
After hearing the news, Master Taiwu and the five elders immediately rushed to the front line to check the situation.
Along the way, the six high-ranking officials of the Yunyang Sect all frowned.
His face looked a little ugly.
It is already winter. If the situation continues like this, many disciples will not have time to practice and train throughout the year, and will not have peace during the winter.
I don't know what the sect disciples will think.
Everyone came to Yunyang Sect to slay demons and eliminate evil.
But no one is willing to give up their own practice.
There are few days off throughout the year, who can persist?
At 9 o'clock in the morning, several high-ranking officials of the Yunyang Sect had already arrived at the front line of defense.
The two hall masters stationed there, Zhao Li and Xia Kun, had already been waiting here.
"What exactly happened? Please describe it in more detail."
Both of them frowned. They had not anticipated the sudden crisis.
“Today, just after the mortal hour, two disciples went to investigate the surrounding area as usual, and they were ambushed by a monster.
He was bitten directly and dragged into the wilderness.
When we heard the shouting and rushed over, we saw only traces of struggle and bloodstains in the snow.
But both of them are gone.”
Taoist Taiwu frowned. He was naturally very dissatisfied with the result.
He knew that the earth demons were causing trouble.
But now, there was no trace of the earth demon at all, and the two were captured directly.
"The two disciples who were captured were also scouts at the front line?"
Faced with Master Taiwu's questioning, Xia Kun could only nod.
As the head of the hall, he also knew the impact and trouble of this matter.
The Yunyang Sect originally lacked scout disciples, and in recent times, it has relied on making more contributions.
The relevant treatment was improved, and it was difficult to train some exploratory disciples.
The Yunyang Sect now treats these disciples like treasures.
Still something went wrong.
I want to recruit disciples to explore later, but I don't know how many disciples are willing to come.
“There is snow everywhere in the wilderness right now.
If a monster had passed by, the traces should have been very obvious.
As a sect scout, can't you see that some of the disciples are lying in wait for a monster?"
Sun Xuerong, who was standing by, also had a grim expression on her face and asked further questions.
Most of the responsibility for screening and training disciples fell on her, Sun Xuerong.
These disciples seemed to have made some very low-level mistakes.
Zhao Li on the side shook her head and walked forward.
“Sect Master, elders.
This time it is not as simple as we thought, it is a trap set by the earth demon.
Those monsters must have been lying in ambush around last night.
It snowed overnight, covering their footprints again.
When the two disciples went to investigate, they probably didn't expect that there were already monsters lying in ambush.
In addition, as daybreak approached, people's vigilance also decreased.
That’s how it ended up.”
Hearing this, several senior executives frowned even more tightly.
The information Zhao Li gave me was more like saying that the two of them were not paying attention and were not capable enough.
Today's tragedy shows that those monsters have learned to hide in the snow under the guidance of the earth demon.
