Fog was definitely an influence that could not be ignored in war. After all, vision was an extremely important factor. Once vision was obstructed, one would not be able to see their surroundings clearly. Without a doubt, it would be an extremely terrible thing. They could be attacked at any time, and their own battle prowess would be greatly damaged. In such a situation, it was completely disadvantageous to them.
Even if they had an absolute advantage in terms of strength, if the environment was disadvantageous, it would turn into an absolute disadvantage.
"Fog is one of the worst situations in a battlefield. Once there's fog, all kinds of information will be incomplete. If the opponent has the ability to see easily in the fog, it will be a disastrous and terrible battlefield. Back then, when the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou fought, Chiyou summoned fog and sealed off the battlefield. The Yellow Emperor was defeated on the spot, and there were countless casualties. After that, we had to obtain the treasure compass to find the direction in the fog and turn defeat into victory. "
Zhuge Liang said with a slight frown.
"If there's an army of other races hidden in the fog, it's enough to pose a great threat to our Da Yi soldiers. Especially if they set up some traps, the damage will be even greater."
Wu Yong also said. He himself had the ability to create fog, so he naturally knew how great the fog's influence on a war was. It was enough to influence the direction of a war.
"Do you have a way to dispel this fog?"
Yang Ye asked. He had some expectations for Wu Yong.
"I don't know. However, with my ability, I can't create such a huge fog area. It's very difficult to dispel it. We still need to see if there's someone controlling the fog in secret. If there's someone controlling it, it'll be even more difficult to dispel it. "
Wu Yong said, shaking his head.
"There's a situation!!"
At this moment, a voice also suddenly sounded in the great hall.
Looking along the Psychic Treasure Mirror.
Before the fog, a burly man dressed in beast skin and holding a long whip in his hand appeared out of thin air. Below him, a giant blue eagle could be seen hovering in midair. It could be seen that there seemed to be blue lightning constantly flashing on the feathers of this giant eagle, flickering and flickering. Its gaze was sharp. Being stared at, one could feel as if a sharp blade was hanging over one's head.
"Who are you?"
Xue Kunlun let out a shout. One could feel an extremely great threat from him. It was like a savage aura.
"I am the Great Elder of the Beast Control Sect, Yu Xin. This time, I have come to support the generals. "
The middle-aged man said with a smile.
The Beast-controlling Sect was also one of the human sects on this continent. He had been hiding in the forest all this time. Very few people in the outside world knew about them. Only some cultivators of the same sect had heard of them, but there was no doubt about the strength of the Beast Control Sect. It wasn't weak. In fact, it could be said that it was quite powerful. They could control thousands of beasts as their combat power. It could be said that the more beasts they contracted, the stronger they would be, and the more powerful they would be. If he could form a contract with a Divine Beast, then he would be able to possess a powerful battle prowess comparable to a Divine Beast.
Therefore, if a cultivator of the Beast Controlling Sect wanted to understand a cultivator's battle prowess, it wasn't just based on their cultivation level. What mattered more was the battle beasts they possessed. It was not difficult for the cultivators of the Beast Control Sect to defeat the strong.
It could even be said that it was quite easy.
"Oh, I wonder what kind of ability you have that can help us break through this fog."
Jia Xu asked calmly.
"My Beast Control Sect is famous for controlling ferocious beasts. This fog is mysterious and unfathomable. It is impossible to predict what is inside. I can use the eyes of the spirit beasts to detect the various hidden situations and movements in the fog. I can help the generals find the path ahead. "
Yu Xin said confidently.
The Beast Control Sect had a secret technique that allowed them to share the vision of their spirit beasts. Whatever the spiritual beast could see, its master could also see. Therefore, in this kind of fog, it was much more convenient to use the spiritual beast to scout than the soldiers. Furthermore, one was in the fog while the other was outside. This way, the information would not be unable to be transmitted and they would be able to know everything at the first instance.
This was definitely one of the best scouting methods.
Moreover, he still had a trump card.
No matter how thick the fog was, he would still have a way to obtain sufficient information.
"Alright, as long as dao friend can help us break through this fog, I will report to the emperor and ask for merit for your Beast Control Sect. I once heard the emperor mention that after this continent was unified, he would conduct a statistics on the various sects. This would allow the experts of the sects to stay in the Immortal Academy. With the capabilities of the Beast Control Sect, they should be able to occupy a place in the Immortal Academy. "
Jia Xu said with a smile.
"Immortal Academy?"
Yu Xin's eyes revealed a hint of joy. Then, he said, "Generals, please wait for a moment. I will send my spirit beasts to scout the situation in this fog."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand and bees appeared in front of him. These bees looked a little different. They emitted a hint of black gold and looked like crystal jade. They weren't small. Each of them was the size of a fist. One look and anyone could tell that they weren't ordinary bees.
"These are Black Crystal Spirit Bees. Not only can they make top-grade spiritual honey, they also have a decent attack power. Once you are stung, you will fall into a state of paralysis. Moreover, they can overcome all kinds of adverse environments. They can easily identify directions in the fog and see all kinds of things. Previously, they were used to make spiritual honey for me. Now, it's time for them to come in handy. "
Yu Xin said with a smile.
There was a saying in the Beast Control Sect. There were no useless spirit beasts, only useless beast tamers. Every spirit beast had its value. The only thing they lacked was a person who could bring out their value.
Just like these Black Crystal Spirit Bees. If they couldn't discover their value, they could only make them make spiritual honey.
Buzz buzz buzz!!
After these bees appeared, they flew around Yu Xin happily. Then, as if they had received some kind of order, they flapped their wings and quickly flew into the fog.
"Not good. This fog is a swamp. Not only is there fog, there's also poisonous miasma."
Almost as soon as they entered, Yu Xin closed his eyes and immersed himself in the Black Crystal Spirit Honey. When his eyes entered the fog, he immediately saw that this wasn't an ordinary plain. It was clearly a huge swamp. This swamp constantly emitted miasma. This miasma was extremely poisonous. Any cultivator who entered would be poisoned. Not only would their magic energy and True Yuan dissipate, their bodies would also be damaged by the poison.
Moreover, a place like this wasn't suitable for cavalry. Even if cultivators could fly once they reached the Life Aperture Realm, they wouldn't be used to it if they weren't on the ground. If they didn't know what was inside and rashly stepped in. Without a doubt, they would be caught unprepared and flustered. A surprise attack from the Beast King Court could cause great damage.
"I didn't discover any enemies, but the miasma is very powerful. My Black Crystal Spirit Bees are very resistant to poison, but they were poisoned to death in a short while. The poison is very strong. "
Yu Xin opened his eyes and said with a serious expression.
Not a single one of his Spirit Bees came out alive. It was obvious that the poison was very strong.
"Swamp? Poison?"
Jia Xu frowned when he heard this. He thought to himself, "If it's just a swamp, it won't be able to stop our Da Yi army. We can't travel through the swamp, but it's not difficult for us to fly in the air. If it's highly toxic. We can quickly gather gold and silver detoxification pills. It should be able to neutralize the poison so that the soldiers won't be harmed by it for a short period of time. The only thing we have to worry about is the other dangers hidden in the fog and swamp. "
It was impossible to tell the direction in the fog. If they were to get trapped in it, they might not be able to get out even if they walked for nine days and nine nights.
"If you're afraid of getting lost, you can rest assured. I have a Heavenly Spirit Bird that can guide the way for the army." Yu Xin said with a smile, "The Heavenly Spirit Bird is a kind of spirit bird that can find the right path no matter what the situation is, and will never get lost. They don't have any other abilities, but they have a unique talent in finding their way. As long as we follow the Heavenly Spirit Bird, we'll be able to find the exit of the fog without any obstacles. We'll reach the other side. "
As he spoke, a golden bird appeared in front of Yu Xin. The bird looked similar to a skylark, but its color was different. The intelligence in its eyes couldn't be ignored.
However, the Heavenly Spirit Bird was afraid of poison. It didn't mean that it had no resistance to poison, but the poison in the fog that could kill the Black Crystal Spirit Bees was clearly not something that the Heavenly Spirit Bird could withstand. How to deal with the poison was the main problem.
"Lan Ling, go over and devour the poison in the fog. I'll let you have a meal this time."
In the hall, Yi Tianxing and the others naturally saw this scene. They didn't say anything about the appearance of the Beast-controlling Sect and the information they obtained. However, the poison had to be dealt with.
Of course, to Yi Tianxing, poison wasn't a difficult task.
With a wave of his hand, an exotic beast with a charming expression appeared in the hall.
This strange beast was none other than the Five Poisons Beast that had been suppressed by the Green Emperor. After being subdued, it had been kept in the Hongmeng Tiandi Pagoda. It had even been taking care of the exotic flowers, herbs, and fruits in the Life Aperture in its dantian.
However, this didn't change the fact that the Five Poisons Beast was a strange beast born from poison. They had a natural love for poison and even ate poison as a delicacy. The more they ate, the more powerful they would become.
No matter how powerful the poison in the fog was, it was nothing to the Five Poisons Beast, Lan Ling.
"Chirp, chirp!"
Lan Ling flapped her wings and left quickly. With the help of the Rainbow Bridge, she appeared in front of Jia Xu and the others. At the same time, Jia Xu, Mu Guiying, and the others also received a message from Yi Tianxing. They knew Lan Ling's identity, background, and purpose.
"Good, the emperor has sent help. With Lan Ling here, there's no need to fear the poison in the fog."
Jia Xu said with a smile.
