Chapter 243 As the three people retreated safely into the formation, the cracked hole in the light curtain immediately closed, a complete pale golden light mask reappeared, and the formation began to operate again.
Seeing the three people slip away from the eyes and return to the formation, the leader of the cedar beast was furious. It opened its mouth and spit out some ice balls to attack the defensive formation, venting its anger on the formation.
Several noises were heard, and the formation light screen only flickered a few times, and there was no too drastic reaction.
However, the ice balls spit out by the monster beasts are also limited and cannot be used endlessly. The two monster beast leaders have consumed a large amount of ice balls during the battle, and there are not many ice balls that can be used for attacks in a short period of time.
The attack power of these two monster beasts alone is very limited, and there is no way to deal with this defensive formation.
The two cedar beast leaders looked at the indifferent formation. Even though they were angry, they were helpless.
Immediately afterwards, after the leader of the cedar beast roared several times, a large number of monster beasts heard the summons and gathered over one after another.
They gathered the entire monster group, spit out a large number of ice balls again, and tried to attack the defensive formation.
"Rumble..."
The ice balls flying in the sky bombarded the formation, and explosions were heard one after another. With a burst of light flashing, the formation blocked all the attacks.
Even if the entire group attacked together, it would only cause the formation to shake slightly, and it would soon return to normal.
Obviously, if you want to completely break the formation, you have to attack continuously for a long time.
Unwilling to give up, Cedar Beast continued to attack the formation, and it seemed that it would not stop until it achieved its goal.
At this time, Lin Shilu and others, as well as the Qi Refining monks, all successfully retreated into the formation.
Seeing the waves of fluctuations coming from the formation, relying on the remaining monster beast group, it was impossible to break through in a short time. Lin Shilu's pale face regained some rosy color, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Lin Shilu and several foundation-building monks were sitting together on the city wall.
After successfully weakening the strength of the cedar beast group, they achieved their goal. The monks looked happy and were in a good mood.
Under the city wall, a large number of Qi Refining monks gathered in twos and threes. Among the huge group of monks, most of them were very excited, and many of them gained a lot from the battle.
However, some monks were pale, many suffered some injuries, and some monks died in the battle.
Overall, compared to those fallen monks, living is the greatest luck.
Looking around, the atmosphere among the monks was lively. Some monks were chatting, while others were sitting cross-legged, meditating on the spot and beginning to recover from their injuries.
On the city wall, Lin Shilu looked at the group of monks below, and then asked Lin Xingshun on the side about the losses of the Lin family in this battle.
Lin Xingshun paused, then patted the storage bag, took out a book of records, opened it for review, and began to report.
"According to statistics, in this battle, 18 members of the Lin family's Qi Refining tribe were killed, seven were seriously injured, and the rest of the tribe was more or less injured."
"Among the fallen clan members, there are 12 from the Xing generation and six from the Tian generation, all of whom are above the sixth level of Qi refining. However, all clan members above the ninth level of Qi refining are still alive, and the backbone of the family has not been greatly affected. Loss."
After hearing the report, Lin Shilu looked a little sad. The Lin family had not suffered such huge losses in recent years. At least 20 monks had died at the mouth of monsters, but those were all clansmen with poor talents and low cultivation.
In this battle, all those who lost were the backbone of the family, but if you think about it carefully, it is normal to have some casualties in the face of such a large-scale attack by monsters.
The Lin family members were also made of flesh and blood, and they had to lead by example. In such a brutal battle, such losses were already considered very low.
Thinking of this, he slowly regained his composure, and could only feel sorry for the dead clansmen.
"Sigh... If Tianming were here, he and I could join forces and probably wipe out this group of monsters in one fell swoop!"
Lin Shilu said secretly in his heart, his sad face made several Lin family members couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
After regaining his composure, he let out a long sigh, and then said to the tribesmen around him: "During the critical period of the war, conditions were extremely limited. The clansmen's bones were cremated first and temporarily stored in Fang City. When I returned to the family, they were buried in the ground and the spiritual tablets were entered into the ancestral hall under the witness of the clansmen."
"Follow Uncle Fifteenth's decree!"
Lin Xingshun nodded and replied respectfully. This was the only arrangement for now.
Seeing Lin Shilu looking at him, Lin Xingshun sighed, and then continued to report the losses and results of other monks.
After half a moment, Lin Xingshun reported the results of the battle.
According to his statistics, in addition to the loss of members of the Lin family, more than 160 other Qi Refining monks also died in battle, most of whom were at the sixth or seventh level of Qi Refining, but more than a dozen monks at the ninth level of Qi Refining also died.
The loss of the cedar beast group was even greater. Four demon beasts in the early second level died, more than 60 in the late first level, and hundreds of lower level demon beasts died.
The current cedar beast group has less than [-]% of its peak number, but those that can survive are all mid-level first-order monsters and above, and the overall strength is still strong.
As for the human monks, although nearly 200 people also died, their top combat power has not decreased.
Judging from the comparison of these losses to the monster beast group, there is no comparison at all.
In this tragic battle, the human race could be said to have achieved a phased victory and successfully completed the goal before the war.
Some well-known monks have achieved brilliant results, among which Li Yuancheng and his wife shined. As many as seven late first-order monsters died in their hands, and there were also many early and middle first-order monsters.
In addition, members of the Chen family, an affiliated family of the Lin family, under the leadership of Chen Jingshan, also killed several late first-order monsters, and more than ten lower-level monsters.
Although this kind of record cannot be compared with Li Yuancheng and his wife, it is enough to rank among the top few except the monks of the Jiji family.
After this battle, the crisis in Luoyunfang City was temporarily lifted, but it still cannot be taken lightly.
After all, the beast tide attack has not passed yet, and they may encounter other monster beast groups at any time. If they attack Fangshi with this cedar beast group, they will be in even greater of this, Lin Shilu still didn't dare to be careless. He sighed, and then said: "Xingshun, for the sake of the safety of Fangshi, those Qi Refining monks have also made great efforts to distribute some of the elixirs in the family's inventory to help them recover and achieve breakthroughs as soon as possible."
"As for those monks who have fallen, the pensions will be arranged according to the rules set before. If there are no descendants of casual cultivators, the pensions will be converted into elixirs and distributed to all Qi Refining monks."
"In addition to this, all monks' merits and achievements must be accurately counted so that after the tide attacks, they can be rewarded according to the rules."
Lin Shilu's words were extremely sincere and without any cover-up, and all the monks present could hear them clearly.
At this time, those Qi Refining monks were very moved. Originally, they stayed in Fang City for the generous rewards. Even if the Lin family did nothing, they would not complain.
After all, this is the monk's own choice. If he falls here due to lack of strength, he can't blame others.
I didn't expect that the Lin family acted so fairly and humanely. During the war, the Lin family took the lead and did not treat them differently at all.
In addition, the Lin family not only distributed elixirs to help them recover from their injuries, but also distributed some additional monks' pensions to them.
This move showed the Lin family's background and credibility, which was really unexpected for them.
At this time, some monks were deeply moved and secretly glad that they stayed in Luoyunfang City.
Otherwise, based on their cultivation strength, even if they went to other places, they would probably be cannon fodder, and they might have perished long ago.
Among the crowd, some Qi Refining monks were sincere and bowed respectfully in the direction of Lin Shilu.
Obviously, the Lin family's style of dealing with things has completely impressed most of the monks, and they will not hide it again.
Seeing the sincere attitude of the monks below, Lin Shilu chuckled and said loudly: "Everyone has worked hard, everyone can rest assured. I see your efforts. As long as Luoyunfang City survives the disaster, the Lin family will I will never be stingy, and my rewards and rewards will never be short.”
"Everyone will take a good rest and take time to recover from injuries and break through."
"Although the monster group has been severely damaged, the crisis has not been completely resolved. We cannot take it lightly. I look forward to fighting side by side with you again."
These words promised many benefits and reminded everyone not to be too arrogant, which aroused the good impression of all the monks present.
In the crowd, a monk at the seventh level of Qi Refining immediately began to compliment him with an extremely sincere attitude.
"Senior Lin is indeed free and easy. The juniors will definitely continue to work hard and fight to the death to advance and retreat together with Fangshi!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd echoed: "Yes... under the leadership of Senior Lin, we have severely damaged the monster beast group. As long as we attack a few more times, we will definitely wipe out the cedar beast group!"
After finishing speaking, the scene suddenly became lively. Many monks spoke in agreement, and the whole group of monks suddenly became more energetic.
At this moment, the monk crowd was almost mobilized by his words and promises, as well as what the Lin family did.
This was an extremely good start, and some people who were fishing in troubled waters began to work wholeheartedly for the market.
Lin Shilu was secretly happy in his heart. His goal had been achieved. Now all the monks were united as one. As long as they persisted and worked together to fight against the monster attack, the possibility of Fangshi surviving this crisis would be greatly increased.
After regaining his composure, he immediately asked Lin Xingshun to leave to manage the people in the Qi Refining Stage, while he chatted with Su He and Luo Chenggu.
Although Su and He did not achieve dazzling results in this battle, they still tried their best.
Lin Shilu expressed his gratitude and did not forget to mention what he had promised before, which made the casual cultivators and Luo Chenggu breathe a sigh of relief.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Shilu paused and said: "Fellow Taoists, this battle has accomplished the goal, but the monster has not retreated. I don't know what your plans are, so you might as well tell me!"
After hearing this, several people fell silent again, and for a while there was no good solution.
Lin Xingcheng on the side turned his head and said immediately: "In the current situation, everyone has suffered some injuries, and the consumption is not small. I'm afraid it won't be enough to organize an attack in a short time!"
Hearing this, Luo Chenggu also spoke up and echoed: "Yes... our consumption is not small, but the monsters also suffered heavy losses. Four of the early second-order monsters were killed, and two more were seriously injured. "
"If these beasts don't plan to leave here and we get back to a good state, it is completely necessary to attack again to further weaken their strength. As long as we kill a few second-level monsters again, we may be able to defeat them all in one fell swoop, or even all of them. Kill!"
Luo Chenggu took the initiative to say this with the intention of thinking about the Luo family, and he spoke it from the bottom of his heart.
If this group of monsters retreats voluntarily, it is entirely possible that they will go to other spiritual lands in the Luoyun Mountains. If they happen to go to the land of the Luo family, the Luo family may not be able to hold on, and the losses may be even more severe.
If you think about it from another person's perspective, the monster group is here, and relying on the power of everyone to kill it will be a good thing with no harm to the Luo family or other family forces.
Sun Ruiyang and all the Qi Refining Family members were all aware of this idea. Therefore, during the war, monks with powerful backgrounds took action without hesitation, not only for the Lin family, but also for their own family's sake. effort.
Thinking of this, members of the Luo Chenggu and Lin Shilu families quickly reached an agreement and decided to wait until everyone recovered a little before taking action again to kill the Cedar Beast clan as much as possible.
Regarding this decision, Su He and Liu Zhirong, the three foundation-building casual cultivators, were hesitant. However, they had already agreed to stay in Fangshi. Although they were somewhat reluctant, in the end they had no choice but to agree because of their face and the strength of the Lin family.
As the results of the discussion came out, Lin Shilu was very satisfied. After chatting with several foundation-building monks, he gave instructions to Lin Xingcheng:
"Xingcheng, we all need to recover our spiritual power and injuries. You choose some tribesmen to stay here to guard the formation. With the current strength of this group of monsters, it is unlikely that they can break through the formation in a short time, but we cannot take it lightly. If other monsters come, the trouble will be even greater!"
"In this way, you will be responsible for this matter wholeheartedly. If there are any changes, report it to me as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry, Uncle Fifteen. I'll leave this matter to the juniors. You can just practice with peace of mind!" Lin Xingcheng replied with clasped fists.
After hearing this, Lin Shilu nodded, greeted several foundation-building monks, and then each left the city wall and returned to his cave to recover from his injuries and spiritual power.
The Qi Refining monks below saw several Foundation Building monks leaving. Under Lin Xingshun's arrangement, they all left the place and returned to the cave to practice in seclusion.
