Chapter 430 A Counterattack from Liyue
Lightning flashed and flames soared into the sky.
As Xu Ning soared into the sky on the wind from the flames he had unleashed, he saw the giant man's figure moving with lightning speed, spiraling upwards as he stepped over the stone walls of the abyss's mouth.
When the two rushed to the front of the Thousand Rock Army's formation, Liaoyuan looked at Xu Ning and the other man and said with a wry smile, "I was worried about why you two hadn't come up for so long, but now you look more energetic than me."
Xu Ning stepped forward, first filling some empty wine jars, before asking, "How is the situation now?"
Liaoyuan pointed to the somewhat exhausted sorcerers behind the formation, "There are still some talismans, but it's obvious that the newly made ones are no longer sufficient. I'm afraid we'll have to fight again before reinforcements arrive."
"But it's much better now. After resting through the night, many of us have regained our strength and can work hard for another day without any problem."
Xu Ning nodded, "It's alright, Brother Yaksha and I are here, we can definitely hold out until reinforcements arrive."
Bo Yang, who had just finished his shift, was drawing talismans with a brush in his hand when he asked, "Brother Xu Ning, you've all gone in. What's the situation inside?"
Xu Ning gave a general account of the situation inside, "Now that we have a place to rest, as long as we can find out the source of those monsters, we can seal them underground and prevent them from ever rising again."
Bo Yang glanced at Xu Ning in surprise, then laughed heartily, "Brother, you really think the same way I do."
"The importance of this rocky abyss to Liyue is self-evident. I can't just suppress it underground like a timed bear trap, ready to snag our feet at any moment!"
Xu Ning pondered for a moment and asked, "I understand what you mean. We are currently short-handed and can only wait for reinforcements to arrive before we can make further plans. At least we should secure the mouth of the giant abyss first..."
Before Xu Ning could finish speaking, a slogan suddenly came from afar: "The cliffs are firm, the peaks are unyielding."
Upon hearing this sound, everyone's spirits lifted; the reinforcements from the Thousand Rock Army had arrived.
As the reinforcements from the Thousand Rock Army arrived, the east began to lighten.
Bo Yang tossed aside his brush and laughed, "It's actually earlier than we expected. Now we can relax a bit."
It wasn't just the Thousand Rock Army reinforcements that arrived; the Taoist priests of Tianheng also received a fresh influx of new members. Not only did another team of Taoist priests arrive, but they also brought many talismans.
The leader of the alchemists even called Boyang aside and handed him something wrapped in cloth.
Bo Yang carefully placed the object in his bosom.
After they finished speaking, Xu Ning walked over with Liaoyuan and said to Boyang, "We just discussed it, and if Brother Yaksha and I unleash our full power, we can basically guarantee that no demons will show up at the mouth of the abyss for a short period of time."
Boyang exclaimed in surprise, "You mean to..."
Liaoyuan said, "We're thinking of sending everyone at once, having Xu Ning and Brother Yaksha block the exit for a while, while our Thousand Rock Army and the sorcerers go together to surround and kill all the monsters in this area until we've completely enclosed the Abyss, and then we'll fight our way down from the Abyss."
Bo Yang gave a wry smile. "The environment there is actually a bit disadvantageous for us."
Liaoyuan spread his hands and said, "Let's do it the same way as tonight. We can't keep setting up defenses here indefinitely. But if we can find their source, we might be able to ask your sorcerers to blow that place up, or use other methods to solve them once and for all."
Xu Ning sent his rock elemental form up. "I was down there just now and used the power of the rock element to seal off some of the visible side paths, trying to make all the monsters travel along one path so that we can wipe them out one by one, find the source, and eliminate the threat forever."
Bo Yang touched his chest, his expression hardening. "Alright, I will organize a team of sorcerers to cooperate with your operation."
As dawn broke, Xu Ning had already invited everyone to drink some wine.
"According to the injured Qianyan brothers, as the battle dragged on, they seemed to hear almost whispering voices in their ears, filled with words that disturbed their minds. Fortunately, my wine has some effect on the methods of these vile demons. Anyone who experiences this symptom should immediately retreat to my side and have some wine, and they will be fine."
Xu Ning paused for a moment, then said, "Of course, you can't just keep coming here to cheat people out of their wine just because it's good."
The surrounding Thousand Rock Army soldiers and sorcerers all laughed.
Xu Ning turned to Liaoyuan and Boyang and said, "When you see Brother Yaksha and I arrive at the mouth of the giant abyss, then we will begin our attack."
Liaoyuan nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely come to your aid as quickly as possible."
Xu Ning turned to look at the resolute young soldiers around him. As far as he knew, no other country's soldiers were like the guardians of Liyue, who, in the face of the Black Tide, not only defended their territory but also fought back against the enemy's attack.
Although Xu Ning still worries about Ye Lan and the others who are trapped underground in the future, he is extremely fortunate to be able to fight alongside these heroes who defend the country and their homes at this moment!
Xu Ning placed his left fist on his chest and gave a Liyue military salute, saying, "The Thousand Rocks are firm, the Layered Peaks are unyielding."
Liaoyuan and the rest of the Thousand Rock Army immediately returned the salute respectfully, saying, "We are the guardians of the city, pacifying demons and evil spirits."
"Brother Yaksha, let's go!"
"go!"
Xu Ning and the big man let out a long roar at the same time and rushed towards the mouth of the giant abyss.
When a pillar of crimson fire suddenly erupted from the mouth of the abyss, Liaoyuan gave the order, and the Thousand Rock Army and the sorcerers immediately pressed forward, surrounding both sides of the layered rock abyss.
This operation was different from the battle the previous day.
This time, Xu Ning and the Yaksha giant almost gave it their all, using their skills to completely annihilate all the demons in the Abyss's Maw, preventing any from escaping.
Meanwhile, everyone else formed a surrounding formation, quickly annihilating all the demons that appeared in the upper level of the abyss, and then retreated inward, gathering together at the mouth of the abyss.
Then, it was our turn to counterattack.
In order to minimize the burden on the Thousand Rock Army and the sorcerers, Xu Ning specially recalled the rock elemental body and summoned the wind and lightning elemental bodies.
The lightning elemental body dealt with the demons around it, protecting its main body.
With the spread of wind elemental energy, Xu Ning poured wine downwards with his left hand like a waterfall, while his right fist continuously released fierce wind and flames, turning the area below the abyss's mouth red-hot.
