Chapter 118 On-site teaching, the naivety of rookies
"Xu..."
The journey was about ten miles, and even though it was the first time for Li Dingguo and his companions to drive a horse-drawn carriage, they arrived in less than half an hour.
He stopped the yellow horse pulling the carriage and raised his hand to signal the nine carriages following behind to stop.
Li Dingguo jumped out of the car, used his hand to comfort the middle-grade spirit beast warhorse pulling the car, and waved to Xiao Douya, Hongmei and the others to get off.
"We're here. One mile ahead is the village that was massacred by the evil spirits."
"There is a birch forest here that blocks the view from the outside world, so the village cannot be seen from here."
Li Dingguo explained to the people who came to him, "There is a grassland here, and there is a circular earth slope in the back, which can just block the view from the three sides of the outside world."
"With the birch forest in front providing cover, it will be safer for us to park all the carriages here."
"That way, even if these carriages are temporarily unattended, it won't matter. They won't be discovered by coincidence."
When the action begins, everyone will have to attack together, so choosing a secret parking place is also very important.
This is the experience Li Dingguo learned from Bai Wenxuan: when traveling, especially on the eve of a battle, you must pay attention to every aspect.
Any neglect of any detail may lead to an accident.
Although Li Dingguo has lived two lives, when it comes to experience in surviving in the wild, he is far inferior to old soldier ruffians like Bai Wenxuan.
Fortunately, he has a good habit: after suffering a loss, he will quickly learn from the experience and lessons, and try not to suffer the same loss again.
"Oh."
"Brother Dingguo, you are so thoughtful."
Hongmei's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately understood. She blinked her big eyes a few times, and had already firmly memorized the wild survival experience that Li Dingguo had just taught her.
Compared with the other eight warrior girls here, Hongmei is completely not on the same level as them in terms of mentality.
Even if she is just a little bean sprout, because her mind is still at the innocent stage, even if she has an enchanting talent, she still needs time to polish it before she can gradually mature.
"Alright, all of you should calm down your horses first. It's best to feed them some of the spirit beans and drinking water you brought with you. After you get ready, we will start the attack!"
He spoke to everyone, and then began to demonstrate personally, teaching everyone on the spot some necessary experiences for cavalry marching in the field.
After a while, everyone had fed and pacified their spirit beasts and horses, and then began to line up.
There are now nine warrior girls in total, and it is a good opportunity for them to practice a basic military formation that they just learned two days ago: the Nine Palace Formation.
"set off!"
Seeing that everyone had quickly formed up, Li Dingguo waved his right hand, holding a mid-grade spiritual spear, and took the lead.
The birch forest ahead was not very large, only a few miles in radius. With the help of the Yunlong Nine Turns Technique, they had bypassed it in a short while.
At this moment, the sight in front of everyone suddenly opened up. They stopped and looked forward.
This remote village looks more than twice as large as the small village where Xiao Douya and her friends previously lived.
The village, which is about a mile in radius, is located on a very flat hill.
There is a small river that meanders from the mountains in the northwest, circles around the village, then flows southeast and disappears into the wilderness in the distance.
Even though the current drought has reached its peak this year, the water in this winding river does not show any signs of drying up.
Li Dingguo guessed that the source of this small river must be from the distant mountains and was formed by the confluence of many mountain springs that never dried up over the years, which could lead to such an abnormal situation.
"This village is a perfect place to survive!"
"Yes, this large village has a much better geographical environment than the abandoned small village we were in before!"
"No wonder the people in this village are reluctant to leave such a remote place. It turns out that there is no shortage of water and they are not affected by this year's natural disaster."
"If they hadn't been unlucky enough to be attacked by evil spirits and their village had not been tragically destroyed by them, it would have been nice for them to live in seclusion here."
"Yes, yes! What a pity."...
Everyone looked at the village in front of them for a while and started talking.
There was a deep sense of regret in their words.
Coupled with the thought of their own tragic life experiences, the eyes of these girls even became red.
"All right!"
"Everyone calm down!"
Li Dingguo quickly spoke up and scolded the warrior girls, "In this chaotic world, there are countless tragedies like this. What problems can you solve by being sad and grieving?"
"What you have to do is to find ways to improve your own strength so that you can survive better!"
"Even in the future, as long as you have enough ability, you may be able to help the poor people in the world and do something!"
"But you don't even have the basic power to protect yourselves right now. Thinking too much will only cause you more troubles. It's not realistic!"
He scolded the girls until they woke up, and seeing that their complexions had returned to normal, he continued, "What you see now, the faint black mist covering the entire village, is the legendary Yin Qi."
"Based on my experience, the coverage of the Yin Qi here is not very large, and the concentration is not high. Based on my experience, I speculate that the number of evil spirits entrenched in it will not exceed the level of ghost soldiers equivalent to the second level of human martial arts." "The number of evil spirits here should not be very large, no more than fifty at most."
"As for this kind of ghost, I'm here, you don't need to be afraid."
"Any evil spirits that exceed the level of a mid-level ghost soldier that I encounter along the way will be killed by me."
"What you have to do is to work together to kill all the low-level evil spirits in this village!"
He began to teach everyone his experience in dealing with evil spirits. "Evil spirits are different from human enemies. What they are best at is taking advantage of humans' unpreparedness and silently possessing humans, quickly devouring their souls and absorbing their life essence!"
"People who are killed by evil spirits will become mummies like the ones you saw in the small village earlier!"
"The most effective means for human warriors to deal with evil spirits is your own Qi and blood power, especially when multiple warriors form an army formation and stimulate the Qi and blood power to form a Qi and blood wolf smoke."
"Under the blood and qi smoke formed by the warriors' army formation, even the evil spirits hiding will have nowhere to hide and will soon be forced out by the blood and qi smoke."
"From now on, you must be more vigilant and keep mobilizing your Qi and blood at all times, so as to avoid being taken advantage of by evil spirits. You will be possessed by them silently and die a horrible death!"
He knew how to make these girls alert, and deliberately mentioned the ways of death they feared the most so that they would not dare to be careless at all.
"Oh!"
"We will stimulate our own Qi and blood power every moment!"
"Don't be afraid! With so many of us, the blood and qi power we can combine to form a blood and qi smoke signal, which is the nemesis of evil spirits!"
"Let's quickly form a formation and use the Qi and Blood Smoke to force them out and kill them all!"...
Including Hongmei, the faces of these warrior girls turned pale. They quickly cheered themselves up, and while they were immediately mobilizing their energy and blood, they cheered themselves up.
"Now that everyone is ready for battle, let's immediately cross the bridge and enter this small village."
Li Dingguo saw that everyone was holding their main weapons tightly, and each of them was mobilizing their own blood and energy to cover their bodies. So he nodded, pointed at the wooden bridge leading to the village in front, and gave the order.
"Yes!"……
Everyone responded in unison, and Li Dingguo took the lead and led everyone to line up and set off.
This group of fledgling female warriors followed Li Dingguo across the wooden bridge and moved forward towards the towering village gate at a moderate pace.
"Wait a moment, I'll go open the gate here."
Unlike the previous time when we went to that small village to exterminate ghosts, the tall gate of this medium-sized village was closed.
The village today is just as quiet as before. Not only is it dead silent, but even the sounds of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, sheep or other livestock cannot be heard.
Obviously, all the living creatures in it have been slaughtered by the group of evil spirits lurking here!
Li Dingguo gave some instructions to the nervous women behind him, then he used the Yunlong Nine Turns Technique and leaped up. He tapped the city wall with his toes to gain leverage and quickly rose into the air like a big bird.
The next moment, he appeared silently on the village wall that was five or six feet high.
Li Dingguo did not dare to be careless. He kept mobilizing his qi and blood, forming a faint bloody aura that enveloped his whole body.
He didn't want to be possessed by evil spirits due to carelessness, and then have his soul devoured by them and die silently.
If that happens, I will probably die with regrets.
Of course he would never make such a low-level mistake.
Li Dingguo looked around and checked the structure of the village gate. He found that it was not opened by a winch, but was composed of two large wooden doors, which were locked with a huge bolt.
"Whoosh!"
He jumped off the wall of the village, put the gun in his left hand, and used his right hand to pull out the huge bolt weighing dozens of pounds from the keyhole, then opened the two heavy wooden doors.
"Everyone, come in quickly, and immediately form a Nine Palaces Formation. Use all your strength to activate the Qi and Blood Wolf Smoke, sweeping all the way over, forcing out and killing all the evil spirits hiding in broad daylight!"
He waved to Xiao Douya and the others, asked them to come in quickly, and then gave the combat orders.
"OK!"……
The nine young warrior girls obeyed the order solemnly.
After everyone formed the formation, they used all their strength to mobilize their own energy and blood. Lines of bloody evil energy rose from everyone's bodies and then combined into a blood and energy smoke screen, covering the space of three meters in radius.
"go ahead!"
Li Dingguo was still holding a spiritual spear, leading the team alone, along the small village road in front of him, and began to go deeper into the village.
He planned to lead everyone to use the blood and energy smoke signals stimulated by the military formation to sweep the entire village in circles, forcing out all the evil spirits hiding during the day and killing them.
His main purpose was to obtain one or two level two soul beads to prepare the level two nourishing soup, in the hope of helping himself break through the bottleneck of the second level peak of martial arts as soon as possible and enter the coveted third level of martial arts.
Only in this way can he have some confidence and lead the team he has formed to grow and develop quietly.
After Li Dingguo broke through to the third level of martial arts, he had a certain ability to protect himself and was no longer afraid of any third-rate generals.
After waiting for about another month, when the number of warriors under his command has greatly increased, he will have trained the Military Killing Formation and will be able to fight even against a master of the fourth level of martial arts.
Only at that time did Li Dingguo have the confidence to survive in this chaotic world.
