Hearing this, Liu Ming's heart moved, but his face remained calm and said,
"I'm all ears."
"Given that this matter is of great importance, I won't beat around the bush. According to the reliable information just sent by the spy, the number of Stemborer Clan giant insects in our southern wilderness has reached millions. And there seem to be more than a dozen relatively smaller cracks around the space crack, and more stemborers are coming out. "Elder Feng said in a deep voice with a solemn face.
As soon as he said this, most of the cultivators below took a deep breath, and the other half of them changed their expressions drastically.
At this moment, a young man with yellow skin in a green robe sitting on the right suddenly stepped forward, cupped his fist, and asked, "Senior, do we know the exact location of the stemborer army now?"
"These insects seem to be planning something. They didn't attack directly, but they retreated back to the southern wilderness desert. If these insects advance to Che di Mountain at full speed, no force can stop them on the way. I'm afraid they will arrive here in 10 days. "Elder Feng glanced at the young man in green robe and said.
There was a commotion when everyone heard this.
"Seniors, you didn't gather us here just to tell us these sensational news right? You must have a plan to deal with it?" Liu Ming asked, "Let's not talk about this matter."
"Yes, the 4 of us have made a preliminary decision before. This time, we gathered everyone here to inform everyone. Brother Yao, next, you will tell us our countermeasure plan. "Elder Feng took a deep look at Liu Ming, then he turned to the old man with slanted eyebrows.
Everyone's eyes suddenly looked at the old man with slanted eyebrows, and the atmosphere in the hall became solemn.
"Hehe, you guys don't have to be so nervous. We have already received the news that reinforcements from other places are already on the way. What we have to do is to defend Che di Mountain and slow down the stemborer army as much as possible. However, although the terrain of Che di Mountain is steep and there are many enchantments, if it is attacked by millions of stemborers at the same time, I'm afraid it won't last long. Therefore, we are going to take the initiative to attack and buy precious time. "
"Take the initiative to attack? We only have a few tens of thousands of cultivators. How can we defend against an army that is ten times larger than ours? "
"Yeah, this is no different from hitting a rock with an egg!"
"I think it's better to defend the Earth Penetrating Mountain …"
"Maybe if we split up, we'll have a chance of survival!"
Everyone in the hall was in an uproar, and many people showed the intention to retreat.
Although Liu Ming was also a little confused, he didn't say anything. He only looked at the Transformation Sect's old man.
"Silence!"
At this moment, an angry roar that sounded like a great bell rang out from the hall, silencing everyone present.
It was the Vice Valley Master of the Sky Demon Valley, Shihou, who stood up. His eyes widened as he glanced at everyone present.
"Joining the Southern Barbarian Alliance is voluntary. If you are not willing to join us against a common enemy, we will not force you to stay. You can leave or stay as you please, but the Stemborer Race is waiting outside, and danger is lurking everywhere. Anyone who leaves this hall today will be responsible for their own life and death! We can't be bothered about that. "
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Although they had been shouting incessantly before, at this moment of life and death, everyone's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and no one actually moved a single step.
"Very good! Since all of you are willing to stay, it means that you have agreed to the strategy we have discussed. Fellow Daoist Yao, please continue. " Shihou saw the expressions of everyone present, and an imperceptible sneer flashed in his eyes. He then turned to the Transformation Sect's old man and said.
"Actually, everyone has misunderstood me. I don't intend to let everyone fight the Stemborer Race to the death." The old man nodded slightly and continued unhurriedly.
"Then what does Elder Yao mean?" Everyone present was a little confused.
"I wonder if everyone knows about the 'Black Sand Day'?" The old man smiled slightly.
"Black Sand Day?"
Many people were startled, not understanding the purpose of the Transformation Sect's Great Elder mentioning this.
After Liu Ming heard about the 'Black Sand Day', he couldn't help but stare at the old man on the stage, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"I believe most people know about this' Black Sand Day ', but this old man will explain it a little here. The Black Sand Day is an extreme sandstorm that occurs once every ten years in the Southern Wilderness Desert. Every time it appears, it will last for a month. During this time, the desert will become a world of flying sand and stones. Even if a Jin Dan cultivator wants to pass through it, it will become very dangerous. According to this old man's calculations, this' Black Sand Day 'will appear in a month. "The old man glanced at Liu Ming and explained to everyone.
"Elder Yao, could it be that you want to use this Black Sand Day to stop the Stemborer Race army? Although this super sandstorm can hinder the Stemborer Race, it is also not beneficial for us cultivators. Moreover, the shells of the Stemborer Race are hard, what if they don't fear the sandstorm at all? "The yellow-skinned green-robed youth questioned.
"It seems that you only know one thing but not the other. The Black Sand Day has an extremely powerful effect on sand attribute formations. If we can set up a Sandfall Formation in four different locations of the Southern Wasteland Desert before the arrival of the Black Sand Day, we'll be able to form a super formation that covers the entire Southern Wasteland Desert, which will be enough to trap 80% to 90% of the stemborers. Even if we can't kill all the Stemborers in the formation, we can at least severely injure or stop the Stemborer Race army for a short period of time. "The old man spoke with confidence.
"I see." The green-robed youth finally understood.
The other cultivators also came to a sudden realization.
"For this battle, our Sect will offer up our sect's most precious treasure, the 'Gathering Sand Lu'. Each Gathering Sand Lu contains the essence of sand that has been preserved since the founding of our Sect. Each grain of sand essence has been refined by our sect cultivators for thousands of years. If we can successfully activate this sand essence during the activation of the formation, it will be enough to double the power of the formation. "
A hint of confidence flashed through the old man's eyes as he spoke, and he patted his waist, upon which a fist-sized golden gourd appeared in his palm amid a flash of golden light.
The gourd was shimmering with golden light, and as soon as it appeared, the surrounding air seemed to solidify, as if it weighed over 500 kilograms.
He didn't say anything else as he cast a hand seal toward the gourd. The golden gourd immediately left his hand and began to revolve in mid-air, following which a speck of golden light swept out from the mouth of the gourd.
An extremely powerful sandstorm aura immediately erupted from the speck of golden light, sweeping in all directions.
Liu Ming's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the speck of golden light with a hint of surprise in his heart.
It was clear that this speck of golden light was the "essence of sand" that the old man had mentioned. The moment it appeared, everyone in the hall felt as if they were in a vast desert.
"This essence of sand is quite similar to the First Yuan Heavy Water," Liu Ming couldn't help but think to himself.
"I didn't expect Elder Yao to be so righteous as to even bring out the sect's most precious treasure. With this, we will definitely be successful in this battle. As long as the stemborers enter the formation, they won't be able to escape." The lion-faced man from the Sky Demon Valley clapped his hands and laughed heartily.
"That's true, but as Elder Feng said before, the stemborers are everywhere in the Southern Wilderness Desert. It can be said that the entire desert has been completely occupied by the Stemborers. Dare I ask Elder Yao, in this kind of situation, to safely sneak into the predetermined location, and also have enough time to activate the formation without being disturbed, and then leave safely, is not an easy task. "Liu Ming suddenly opened his mouth and said.
"You don't have to worry about that. The four of us will personally lead a group of people to set up the formation to ensure that nothing goes wrong, "the old man with the Sky Demon Valley replied after exchanging a glance with the other three Celestial Phenomenon Stage beings.
"In that case, won't the Earth Piercing Mountain be left defenseless? What should we do if the Stemborers invade in large numbers?" the red-haired man from Brown Dragon Mountain asked.
"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist. Our Earth Piercing Mountain has been established for no less than 30,000 years, and we have some solid foundations. Before we set off, we will activate our sect's protective formation. Even if a million Stemborers invade in large numbers, they won't be able to break into our mountain in a short time, "Elder Feng replied without any hesitation.
"If that's the case, then we can rest assured." The red-haired man's expression relaxed upon hearing this.
After dispelling everyone's worries, everything that happened next was a matter of course.
After the four Celestial Phenomenon Stage cultivators assigned their respective directions to set up the formation, they each chose a few Jin Dan Stage cultivators to accompany them.
After all, Liu Ming was not a Southern Barbarian cultivator, so the four Celestial Phenomenon Stage cultivators naturally couldn't directly ask him to participate.
However, after some bargaining, Elder Feng and the other two promised that after helping the Southern Barbarian cultivators complete the formation task, he could return to Taiqing Gate. In addition, they also promised to give him a lot of precious treasures after the task was completed.
After some consideration, Liu Ming agreed and chose to join the team of the Sky Demon Valley's Vice Valley Master, Lion's Roar.
Because the Stemborers were extremely sensitive to the fluctuations of spatial magic, it was not practical to directly use the teleportation formation.
Finally, after discussion, it was decided that they would set off in half a month and try to sneak into the formation before the "Black Sand Day" arrived. The four Celestial Phenomenon Stage captains would lead their respective teams and use the natural barrier formed by the sandstorm to sneak into the formation.
In this way, after setting up the Falling Sand Formation, they would be able to leave safely under the cover of the sandstorm.
The plan seemed to be foolproof. Liu Ming no longer cared about other things and left.
As soon as he returned to his temporary residence, he immediately entered the secret room and meditated with peace of mind.
