Their decision was very timely. Just as they ran back for more than ten miles, the tunnel suddenly spasmed, and a small crack appeared on the wall of the tunnel, which was still expanding. Although no strange creatures came out, it was only a matter of time!
They were very lucky to have made the right decision. They were even more determined to return to defend.
Only when they were close to the entrance did the walls of the passageway gradually stabilized. The passageway was several tens of feet wide, and for the five of them, it was difficult to stop every single one of the foreign creatures that were charging at them.
They had no choice but to do their best.
After assigning their respective areas to guard, they knew that it would take some time for the foreign creatures to arrive. They could finally take a breather.
Ti Xu found joy in the midst of hardship, "This place is not bad. If we are close to the entrance, the food problem will be solved!"
Lou Xiaoyi asked, "Has this happened before?"
Fu Xu shook his head, "No, this is the first time! It seems that the collapse of the Five Taishang has also started to affect this place! After this, if the higher-ups still want to maintain the safety of the beautiful world, they will have to send more people. We just have to guard this place! It won't be considered a dereliction of duty! "
Lou Xiaoyi had some thoughts, but it was not convenient for him to speak in detail because he did not have any solid evidence. According to his guess, based on the appearance of the zombies in the King Zombie World and the tide of crawling insects on the fruit plate, the tunnel was probably already riddled with holes. However, the Xi Zhao Swordsman was limited in number, so in the past ten thousand years, they did not have the opportunity to explore.
The entire tunnel was thousands of miles long. The weakest part should be in the middle. They had been guarding within two hundred miles. They did not know the truth about the tunnel until now, when the changes in the tunnel began to spread to the two ends.
What happened in the middle?
It was not that Lou Xiaoyi was a busybody, but his life in the past twenty years had been too boring. According to his understanding, the chaos that appeared in various parts of the universe should have something to do with this place. The battle of the universe was also a battle of luck. The so-called battle was not only about fighting and killing, but also one's contribution. To him, it was fine if he did not know about the changes here, but now that he knew, there was no reason for him to let it go.
What was going with the flow? This was what a cultivator would experience in their journey of cultivation. When all these strange things gradually pointed in one direction, you had to take a good look in that direction. This was taking advantage of the situation!
If you pretend not to know, then fine, the guidance of the Heavenly Dao should be given to someone else. It has nothing to do with you, because you are a person who is unwilling to bear the responsibility!
So he comforted her, "Actually, it doesn't seem to be a big deal. The collapse of the Five Manifestations had affected many things. After accumulating for a long time, they took advantage of the fact that the blockage had disappeared to launch an attack. This was in line with the basic principles of the existence of this type of spatial passage, so it wasn't strange at all.
It's like a newly formed spider web, and it's shaped like a maze with a myriad of threads. Even if we were to explore the path within it, it wouldn't be easy for us to find the correct path in the end, let alone those foreign species.
Therefore, the possibility of a large number of foreign species coming here is not high. It is more likely that they will come in groups of thirty to twenty? "
Fu Qiu nodded. This judgment was very reliable. "Little Yi is right, but our strategy cannot be too passive in this situation. We can't just stand here and wait. We have to take the initiative to attack! Take advantage of the time when they are poking their heads out to look around and don't give them a chance to gather! "
The few of them discussed and decided to look for the best position to block the attack. Finally, after many choices, they decided on two positions. One was a three-way junction about ten miles away from the entrance. There were three people stationed there, which was their last line of defense. The other was thirty miles away from the entrance. There were four cracks here, and two people were stationed there.
Considering that not every crack would have foreign species coming out, if they took the initiative to attack, they could still deal with it.
Lou Xiaoyi and Entering Nightmare were placed thirty miles away. This was just a tactical arrangement. To the five of them, their strength was more or less the same. There was no situation where one of them was more or less stronger than the other. If they really fought, they could just rotate after a period of time. They were all veterans and knew very well what they should do.
Entering Nightmare sighed. "The changes in the universe have affected this place in the end. Being in the universe, there is no place to escape! I think that if this passage changes a few more times, there might be Half Immortals coming from the other side. If that's really the case, do you think we should stop them? "
Lou Xiaoyi smiled. "Don't think so much! You won't wait until that day. The Heaven's Eyes can send people here occasionally, which means that they have never stopped paying attention to this place. After this time, a large number of reinforcements will arrive. How to completely block this passage is something they should consider. "
As the two of them chatted, time slowly passed. Finally, a reptile poked its head out of a crack and looked around. Entering the crack, Entering Nightmare chased it for a thousand feet and beheaded it with his sword.
This was their strategy. They didn't give these things a chance to gather together and boost their courage! If the foreign species didn't form a large scale, then even if the terrain was wider, they could block them as much as possible. They didn't need to block all of them in this place. They could still let some pass. There were still three people behind them.
Humans had an absolute advantage in intelligence, and it really played a big role here. To the foreign species that bred in the connecting passage, they basically didn't have much intelligence. Although there were many Half Immortals in the Inner and Western Scenic Skies, the number of deaths every year was limited. Their powerful magic objects also had a limit, and it was still within a controllable range.
After a few months, blocking them was still considered easy. Because of the appearance of the crack, the arrival of the foreign species became chaotic. In addition, they took the initiative to attack, so the battle was actually easier than before.
During this period, they rotated once. Lou Xiaoyi and Entering Nightmare retreated to the back. They actually had the opportunity to go out and carry a few roasted lambs back. Gradually, they put down their worries. If this continued, there wouldn't be a problem with the defense this time.
After another rotation, Lou Xiaoyi and Entering Nightmare were once again at the front. The two of them were already familiar with this task and had a tacit understanding. When one of them entered the crack to hunt, the other guarded the main road. After more than ten days, they actually didn't let a single foreign species pass.
In the calm, everything was going according to plan. However, Lou Xiaoyi didn't have the slightest bit of carelessness. As a wily old fox who had been in the universe for a long time, he was very clear that often, a mutation would occur in a seemingly normal rhythm and catch you off guard.
In their place, other than the main road, there were four other cracks. Among them, foreign species frequently appeared in one of them. Another one occasionally appeared, and the other two never had any foreign species. They should be two dead ends.
In the defense, one of the two dead ends suddenly had movement. A zombie poked its head out.
Lou Xiaoyi leaped up and quickly forced it back into the crack. Then, he chased after it and shouted,
"Senior Brother, be careful. This one has also become a living path!"
Entering Nightmare replied, "I know! Junior Brother, don't chase too far! "
