Immortal Road.

Chapter 140: The Dirty Canyon

One hundred miles ahead of the entrance to the Dirty Poison Canyon is the Black Lotus Army’s base.

Tens of thousands of monks came and went, casting spells to build platforms, digging canals to irrigate, arranging formations, and building cave dwellings. In just a few days, this military camp was built into a huge structure.

Silver-white rune chariots stood in front of the camp, rune cannons were leaning against the battlements in the back, warships were patrolling in the sky, and many war weapons from the cultivation world were displayed.

Lin Shan followed Protector Yan to the camp. There was a solemn and murderous atmosphere in the army, and it felt dull and suffocating.

Guardian Yan was directly invited to the Central Army Hall to discuss military affairs, while Lin Shan and his men stayed in the camp first. When they had time, they would walk around and ask others about the situation nearby.

The result is still not optimistic. The Grand Canyon of Drugs is far more terrifying than imagined.

According to reports from spies who have been inside, the fog that permeates the canyon all year round is extremely poisonous. A mortal who inhales it will die instantly. Monks can only use their spiritual power to protect themselves. If they stay in the fog for a long time, their bodies and magical instruments will be gradually corroded.

The top sky is blocked by the Nine Heavens Strong Wind, and the poisonous fog above the canyon rises in a tower-like manner, so birds are basically extinct, and those who want to attack and pass through can only walk.

Almost all of the land was wetlands and swamps. Not only were there many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts, but even the trees, flowers and plants were poisonous. Some springs would cause people to die from body ulcers after drinking them. Basically, there were poisonous springs everywhere.

After finally crossing the 3,000-mile canyon, there is still a natural barrier, the Yinzhaohuan wind belt.

This area was always filled with a miasma wind that came from nowhere. It was not only corrosive and toxic, but also hallucinogenic. When monks entered, they often lost their way and entered the forbidden area, or died in the illusion due to exhaustion of spiritual power.

In the end, even if they passed through the miasma wind belt, what were waiting for them were the righteous monks stationed there who were well-rested and waiting for them.

Because the entire Luosong Mountains stretch for hundreds of thousands of miles, there are more than a dozen entrances to the east-west passages of the Song Dynasty, and the righteous cultivators do not know where the three evil sects plan to break through, so there will be large armies of cultivators stationed at each entrance.

Now Lin Shan and the others understood how dangerous this mission was.

The strategy of the Demonic Path was also very simple. No one knew where the real main attack was and where the feint was, except for the Yuanying Stage True Lord who was high above the United Front Work Department.

The purpose is to blossom in all aspects.

Although the Grand Canyon of Drugs is extremely terrifying, the other passages in the Luosong Mountains are not simple either. Some mountain roads, waterways, valleys and even cemeteries have various dangers.

Protector Yan went to the Central Army Hall to chat for three hours before returning.

As for what they talked about, the subordinates had no idea. They were only told that they would lead the team to set out in three days and directly enter the dirty drug canyon.

This time, the three sects of the Demonic Path unified the time of attack, and more than ten passes and entrances along the entire front line were all attacked. The goal of all troops was to penetrate across and directly take Bianliang!

It can be said that there is no way back, the only thing to do is to move forward.

No one knew which route was the main attack and which was the feint. Anyway, the cannon fodder of the first echelon was a combination of locals and East China Sea casual cultivators, and the follow-up large forces followed half a day later.

This time, the Demonic Path intends to achieve its goal in one fell swoop, betting all its military strength to completely break through the Luosong Mountains!

It is said that the righteous sect stationed opposite the Dirty Poison Canyon seems to be the famous Yingchuan immortal cultivation sect "Cang Xuan Sect".

……

Lin Shan received various free supplies of insect repellent pills, miasma-eliminating pills, detoxifying pills, soul-restoring pills, etc. in the camp. The alchemists in the sect were still working overtime to refine various kinds of pills to ensure the supply of the army for this expedition.

All the monks around had solemn expressions and the atmosphere was tense.

No one knew whether they could survive this trip. They would either meet in the imperial capital of Bianliang or die. After all, they had fought in favorable conditions before. This was the first time they had to take on a tough challenge, so they would inevitably suffer heavy casualties.

After nightfall, all the monks in the camp gathered in groups of three or four to discuss something with each other. Lin Shan also sat by the campfire in a daze, not getting close to anyone.

But in fact, although he looks like a person, he is actually chatting with the small skull pendant in his hand.

"Brother, I have led the army in battle countless times before. I am tired of jungle warfare, desert warfare, plain warfare, naval warfare, and air warfare. You can be right if you listen to me!"

"You're not the commander, what's the point of listening to you?"

"That's not right. This demon king is invincible. I can defeat any enemy wherever my troops go. I promise to help you avoid detours."

"Okay, then tell me what I should do?" Lin Shan listened to it blowing slowly with an indifferent attitude.

"First, in a surprise attack, the power of an individual is extremely small. It is very likely that a spell cast by a high-level monk will kill you for no apparent reason."

"I know, he died in a teamfight due to an unknown AOE."

"So you have to find a way to improve your strength in all aspects. I don't mean specific defensive capabilities, but comprehensive strength."

The Black Skull Demon Lord talked a lot and Lin Shan was confused. It took him half an hour to finally react. The guy was trying to hint to him in a roundabout way to give him the authority to advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

As long as this clone recovers to the strength of the Foundation Establishment Stage, it will be able to use more means, and the ability of both of them to survive will be greatly enhanced.

Under the leadership of the Black Skull Demon Lord, Lin Shan's chance of survival has greatly increased!
The more Lin Shan listened, the more he felt something was wrong. What did he mean by "under its leadership"? It seemed that this guy was always thinking of turning the tables and making Lin Shan his follower!
Although the Grand Canyon of Contaminated Drugs was extremely dangerous this time, Lin Shan still had some confidence. After all, his confidence came from Gu Yun. As long as Gu Yun was not used up and there was enough reserve left, he could save his life in an emergency.

It is better to rely on yourself than on others. Apart from his own enhanced panel, Lin Shan doesn't trust anyone else.

What's more, the Black Skull Demon Lord had cost me a high-level magic weapon in the Stormy Sea last time, so it would be strange if I could treat him well.

The skull on the pendant tried its best to persuade Lin Shan, but he remained unmoved. And now it was no match for Lin Shan, so it couldn't escape even if it wanted to. It could only lament that it would be killed by this kid sooner or later.

……

Three days later, tens of thousands of monks lined up at the entrance of the Poison Canyon, all with solemn expressions, waiting for the final order. This attack was an all-out operation, and any monk who dared to flee would be killed on the spot by the supervisory team.

The commander in the rear was the head of the Black Lotus Sect, and no one knew whether there were any Yuanying-stage masters accompanying the team. As the top combat force of strategic deterrence, the whereabouts of every Yuanying-stage master was a secret among secrets.

The head master looked at the sky, counted the hours, and finally waited until the first watch after sunset, then he issued orders to the ninth team led by Yan Yuanchun.

"Junior Sister Yan, you lead your men to explore the way immediately, and I will lead the main force to follow tomorrow morning."

"Leader!"

"Junior sister, be careful!"

Protector Yan did not reply to him, but led Lin Shan and his subordinates into the Dirty and Poisonous Canyon.

At night, the two sides of the valley entrance are towering, and the thick fog blocks the view in the distance, like a deep, dark mouth, ready to devour someone.
