Chapter 325: Successfully Discovering the Target, the Heritage of a Ten Thousand Year Family
Tongguan, the most important pass in the inland area of the Ming Dynasty, is 2749 meters high.
Ordinary people would be shocked and awe-inspired by this magnificent fortress at first glance.
At noon, a golden light flew across the sky above Tongguan and headed towards the northwest.
"This huge fortress located on the south bank of the Yellow River is undoubtedly the most magnificent fortress I have ever seen. It must be Tongguan."
Sitting on the back of the golden eagle, Li Dingguo looked at the huge city wall below and formed a general impression of this majestic pass.
Such a huge fortress, as long as 10,000 elite troops are stationed in it and it is protected by a city defense formation, with the help of the psychic cannons and crossbow carts on the city walls, it can easily block attacks from outside the fortress.
According to intelligence from the Military Intelligence Department, the most defensive fortresses in the Ming Dynasty today are Shanhaiguan and Tongguan.
In this big world, these two cities are super large fortress cities.
There are more than three million soldiers and civilians stationed in these two fortresses, making them extremely prosperous.
The two city passes cover an area of more than 150 miles in length and width, which is very large.
Because the wall of the pass was too high and steep, even a commander at the peak of level five, who was in charge of the magical attack launched by the military killing formation, and the phantom of the mythical beast transformed by the magical power, could not fly over it.
Under normal circumstances, it is necessary to build a ladder or a super-large siege machine to attack the city wall.
There is a super-large city defense formation. Even if you want to rush into the city on a Qi Refining Realm spirit bird, you can't do it.
Even though Li Dingguo is now riding on a golden eagle and flying casually over Tongguan, he is just flying past.
Because this city pass is too important, just like Shanhaiguan, the city protection formation is opened all year round. Any spirit bird in the Qi Refining Realm cannot directly rush into the hundred-foot high sky of Tongguan, and will be blocked by the protective formation from a distance.
"After passing Tongguan, we are not far from our destination."
"Dajin, a distance of three thousand miles is not far for you. You should pay more attention to the terrain below to see if there are any special places covered by the formation."
Li Dingguo rode a golden eagle and flew rapidly toward the northwest, and began to go deep into the Qinling Mountains, then he gave instructions to the Great Jin.
Basically all ancient magic arrays have the function of concealing illusions, and it is difficult to detect abnormal situations from the outside.
The several ancient spiritual plant gardens of the Wang family were most likely contiguous plantation areas left behind by a major force in ancient times. According to the coachmen who had come here to transport large amounts of spiritual rice, these spiritual plant gardens were close together.
In order to facilitate the smooth transportation of various materials, the Wang family built a good mountain road from the outside to deep inside, which could accommodate large horse-drawn carriages.
With these prerequisites, it is not difficult to find those ancient spiritual plant areas.
With the great golden eagle's eyesight, it can easily spot targets such as mountain paths from thousands of feet in the sky.
"Chirp..."
Da Jin neighed, indicating that he already knew, and the flying speed became faster.
A mere three thousand miles is really nothing to it.
In less than an hour, it flew over from a height of thousands of feet.
After arriving at the predetermined target area, Dajin slowed down its speed significantly and simply glided and circled in the air, trying to find its destination as quickly as possible.
In the depths of the Qinling Mountains, various birds, beasts, and monsters can be seen everywhere.
Only a big force like the Wang family can have enough guard force to enter and transport goods.
For ordinary small and medium-sized forces, forget it. They will probably be wiped out by various groups of monsters not far into the Qinling Mountains.
Various monsters attach great importance to their own territories and will not allow humans to intrude.
As long as the enemy's strength is not enough to crush their own, they will most likely launch an unrelenting attack on the enemy that invades their territory.
You are not strong enough, so don't even think about going deep into dangerous mountains and forests like the Qinling Mountains.
Even a powerful force like the Wang family was able to make use of the ancient spiritual orchards because they were located on the edge of the Qinling Mountains.
The Qinling Mountains in this big world stretch for a million miles, and more than 90% of its area is a restricted area for humans.
Another destination of Li Dingguo's trip: the habitat of a group of top spiritual beasts, the colorful peacocks, is deep in the Qinling Mountains 30,000 miles away.
This is a well-known spiritual place, but so far, no human force has dared to intrude into it.
This group of top-level spiritual birds, the colorful peacocks, are not numerous in number, but the ones with the worst cultivation are all level four spiritual beasts. Among them, there are more than thirty level five spiritual birds, and there are even several peacock kings at the peak of level five.
The most deadly are those level five peacock birds that have awakened their innate magical powers. Their clan-stabilizing magical power, the five-colored divine light, is extremely powerful and can easily break the spiritual weapon attacks of human practitioners.
In addition to their air superiority and the fact that they are fighting on their own land, it is difficult for them to find a strong enemy that can contend with them.
Even if they cannot defeat the opponent, they can leave at any time and then keep coming back to cause trouble for the enemy, making it difficult for the opponent to defend themselves.
As long as they did not encounter an attack from a level six demon king, this group of colorful peacocks would not be afraid of anyone and had been able to firmly occupy that large spiritual land for countless years.
"Chirp..."
At this time, the golden eagle made a discovery, and after a hissing, it swooped down!
"Whoosh!"
It soon landed at the end of a vaguely visible mountain road hidden in the grass.
Li Dingguo jumped off Da Jin's back, stood at the end of the mountain road paved with bluestone slabs, and looked ahead.
This is a large and dense jungle. At first glance, it seems that there is nothing unusual.
As a grandmaster of elementary formations, it is difficult for Li Dingguo to hide any elementary formations from him, especially under close-range inspection.
"There are fluctuations of the Small Five Elements Maze Array here!"
"This small five-element maze array is as powerful as the small five-element sky-covering array that I set up myself. It is undoubtedly an ancient magic array."
"According to the coolies of the Wang family, when they came here to transport the spiritual rice, they found a Wang family town in the middle of the place, which was used by the spiritual farmers of the Wang family to live."
"These spiritual plant husbands, their guards, and their families, total about 5,000 people, living among them for many years."
"The third branch of the Wang family is currently in charge of guarding this place. Among them are two early level five masters and more than thirty level four warriors. This is considered a core force gathering place for the Wang family."
This was the first time that Li Dingguo encountered a family base with such a high ratio of warriors. It was almost comparable to the Fan family's old house in Jiexiu.
This is just an ancient spiritual plant park of the Wang family, a descendant of Wang Dengku.
This shows that the Wang family, which has a long historical heritage, is far more powerful than the Fan family and is probably comparable to the Kang family.
No wonder Wang Dengku dared to openly become an enemy of the Fuxing Army. It turned out that he had the confidence.
If it were the Fusion Army a year ago, its strength would be no match for the Wang family in Lingshi City, Jin Province where Wang Dengku was located.
The other side had not expected that the enemy would come to their door for a long time, and they didn't even arrange basic sentries.
Obviously, this powerful protective formation gave great confidence to the Wang family members within the formation.
"For me, this formation can be broken easily."
Li Dingguo pondered for a moment, and then an idea came to his mind. The huge cauldron in his hand turned into a size of more than ten feet. Then the mouth of the cauldron opened, and two huge figures flashed out and landed beside Li Dingguo.
These two large blue eagles are the pair of level five peak spirit birds that were forcibly recaptured by the innate divine artifact, the Human Emperor Cauldron, through the master-servant contract.
A great battle with the Wang family will begin soon. In order to destroy the enemy as quickly as possible, Li Dingguo naturally needs to add two capable helpers to himself.
The combat effectiveness of these two big goshawks is not bad, and is almost equal to that of the Great Jin. In addition to their speed and air superiority, once they launch a violent killing spree against those scattered enemies, their killing speed will not be much slower than that of Li Dingguo. "Chirp..."
Because of the master-servant contract, these two big goshawks can be directly controlled by Li Dingguo's spiritual power and will not have the slightest thought of disobeying him.
After they regained their freedom, they happily rubbed their big heads against Li Dingguo's arms to show their closeness.
Although they were controlled by the master-servant contract and their life and death depended on Li Dingguo's decision, they were lucky to have met Li Dingguo.
Given Li Dingguo's personality, it was impossible for him to vent his hatred for the Kang family on these two big eagles.
For Li Dingguo, enemies and the two spirit birds that have surrendered to him are two completely different things.
In Li Dingguo's eyes, there was no difference between them and his three big black eagle spirit birds.
Anyway, these two big goshawks will never betray me again.
"Dajin, Daqing, Xiaoqing."
Li Dingguo said to the three level 5 peak spirit birds, "Wait a moment, I will open a portal in this level 3 ultimate five elements formation, and we will enter it immediately and launch indiscriminate attacks on the enemies inside."
"The humans living here are all the core members of the Wang family. We have to kill them all to avoid future troubles."
"The several ancient spiritual plant areas here that are covered by the protective formation cannot be officially activated before our army soldiers completely occupy Qin territory."
"Fortunately, my life-saving cauldron, as my cultivation has broken through to the middle stage of the fifth level, can now be enlarged to a radius of eighteen zhang, and can take away a large amount of spiritual rice and various spiritual herbs and roots, which is enough to temporarily solve the cultivation needs of the three hundred thousand warrior recruits."
"In order to avoid any hidden dangers left after our operation, all humans in this protective formation must be completely eliminated."
"If we are soft-hearted and let some of the elderly, weak, women and children go, and they start a fire after we leave and burn down these ancient spiritual plant gardens, we will be crying without tears."
Under such circumstances, Li Dingguo would not be so soft-hearted as to act rashly. He had to wipe out all the members of the Wang family.
These three level five peak spirit birds have the same IQ as ordinary humans. Explaining things to them may help them wait for a while so that they can kill without scruples.
For example, in a series of local battles after entering the Pass, the Great Golden Eagle had always remained restrained under Li Dingguo's instructions and would not kill people indiscriminately.
"Chirp..."
As soon as Li Dingguo finished speaking, the big golden eagle and the two big goshawks nodded their big heads to indicate that they had remembered it.
For them, it is not difficult to kill violently, but the difficult part is how to distinguish who can be killed and who cannot be killed.
Everything is good now. With the permission of Li Dingguo, we can kill as many people as we want without any reservations.
After arranging the preparatory work before the war, Li Dingguo stood in front of the ancient five elements protective formation, and used all his strength to circulate his internal energy. He used his spiritual thoughts to communicate with the colorful formation rune in his sea of consciousness and obtained the inheritance from the Human Emperor Cauldron.
He raised his hand and made a seal. Suddenly, a stream of colorful light emerged from the palm of his right hand and sank into the disguised formation shield in front of him.
"Buzz..."
As the five-colored light shot out by Li Dingguo sank into the protective formation, suddenly, flashes of five-colored light appeared at the edge of the ordinary forest in front of him.
After flashing for a while, these brilliant and colorful lights suddenly formed a five-colored light gate with a radius of three meters, appearing in front of a man and three birds!
"go!"
Li Dingguo shouted in a deep voice to the three level five birds beside him, and then his figure flashed and disappeared into the colorful light gate.
The three big birds reacted quickly. They had been prepared for this. They flapped their big wings steadily, disappeared from their original positions, and rushed in almost at the same time as Li Dingguo.
The figures of the man and three birds had just disappeared for a while when the five-colored light gate suddenly disappeared, returning to its original disguise as an ordinary dense forest.
……
"This area covered by the formation is actually a huge valley?"
"The concentration of spiritual energy here is not much different from that of the current Restoration Army base camp, the island in the middle of the lake."
As soon as he entered the protective formation, Li Dingguo looked around and exclaimed inwardly, "Sure enough, any top-grade spiritual land is not a simple area."
This huge valley is about a hundred miles long and wide. It is the first time that Li Dingguo has seen such a top-notch spiritual land other than the island in the middle of the lake.
If such a great spiritual land was not protected by an ancient five-element magic formation, the Wang family would not be able to protect it.
Although the general situation of the Wang family's spiritual land has been known to outsiders, no other top forces have come to snatch it. Apparently, this is because the ancient protective formation here is difficult to break.
This is in the Qinling Mountains. It is impossible for a large human army to march in, lest it attracts a counterattack from the top monster forces.
Due to the combination of various factors, the Wang family has occupied this great spiritual land for ten thousand years, which is quite a miracle.
This can also explain why the Wang family is so much stronger than the Fan family. The main reason lies in this great spiritual land.
After looking around, Li Dingguo found that the place was filled with neatly arranged spiritual fields of various sizes, planted with various kinds of spiritual herbs and roots.
The most common ones are spiritual rice, spiritual beans and spiritual fruit trees of various levels.
With so many different kinds of cultivation resources, it is rumored that the Wang family maintains a family guard team of 50,000 people all year round. This news is probably true.
This kind of strength is no worse than that of some ancient families.
According to previously learned intelligence, there are three large plantations in this great spiritual land, each with tens of thousands of acres of spiritual fields of varying grades.
The various levels of spiritual herbs and roots produced by so many spiritual fields are not only enough for the Wang family's own use, but a large portion of them can also be used to trade with the Tartars.
As far as he could see, Li Dingguo could even see several huge spiritual fruit gardens, with at least thousands of various spiritual fruit trees!
Li Dingguo even saw a few level five spiritual fruit trees.
The higher the grade of the spiritual fruit tree, the longer the ripening period. A level five spiritual fruit tree can take more than ten or twenty years for the spiritual fruits on the tree to mature.
"As long as I can seize this great spiritual land, it will be no problem for the Renaissance Army to expand by another 500,000 soldiers in the future!"
After Li Dingguo had a clear overview of the situation here, he looked coldly at the Wang Family Town not far away and said to the three level 5 peak spirit birds beside him, "I'm afraid there will be level 5 spirit beasts and spirit birds guarding here."
"But it's not a big problem. With our strength, it won't be difficult to destroy the thousands of Wang family warriors here."
"While the enemy is not on guard right now, we will immediately rush into the Wang family town and kill all the enemies there!"
Li Dingguo also knew that the Wang family had been passed down for thousands of years, so it was impossible for them to have no military killing formations.
According to conservative estimates, in this sacred valley, the Wang family must have at least a thousand elite soldiers who have practiced military killing formations.
Only with this kind of strength, under the leadership of one or two level five generals, forming a military killing formation, can we not be afraid of the attack of the demon king deep in the Qinling Mountains and guard the mountain roads leading to the outside.
Only in this way can we ensure smooth transportation for our family and deliver the large amount of spiritual herbs and roots produced here continuously through the family's caravan.
Although Li Dingguo was somewhat shocked by the powerful background of the Wang family, a powerful family with a history of thousands of years, he also knew that the sooner his attack was launched, the better.
Otherwise, if the opponent were to react and lead the Wang family's elite troops to form a military killing formation to launch a counterattack, the situation would most likely be reversed by the opponent.
Even if one has four level five masters, it is not necessarily necessary for a level five commander to lead a thousand elite soldiers and use killing array magic to launch a concentrated fire attack on the opponent.
As the leader of a powerful revival army, Li Dingguo is well aware of the power of a great-level military killing formation and will not take it lightly.
"Chirp..."
“Chirp!”…
The three level five peak spirit birds nodded their big heads in unison, and then together with Li Dingguo, they flashed and rushed straight towards the Wangjia Town several miles ahead!
