After hearing what they said, Ye Li pondered for a moment, and finally couldn't help but said: "Brother Niu, Brother Ma, Brother Yu, I have something to tell you."
Hearing Ye Li's greeting, the three of them looked at him with confusion.
Niu Shan said, "Little Brother Ye, if you have something to say, just tell me. You saved all the lives here, and we all treat you as our own."
Hearing Niu Shan's words, Ye Li smiled and nodded, then his expression immediately became serious again, and he said: "Even if we kill all the offspring, we can't resolve the crisis here. The real trouble with these soul-controlling insects is with their mother bodies..."
Then, Ye Li began to tell him everything that Tunri had just told him.
Hearing his words, Niu Shan and the others showed shock on their faces, because according to Ye Li, their crisis had not been resolved at all.
Even if they gather manpower now, they will still be unable to resist once a new batch of soul-controlling insects and their army of monsters come to kill them.
After all, once the soul-controlling insect sub-bodies are prepared, they may rearrange their formation and not give them any chance to launch a sneak attack, and the combat effectiveness of the monster army will be exerted to the strongest.
"Brother Ye, what do you think we should do now?"
Niu Shan knew that Ye Li was the person who knew the enemy's situation best, so he immediately came down humbly to ask for advice.
Ye Li thought for a moment and said, “The current situation is unclear, and I can’t give you a specific solution.
I just informed you of the possible situation in advance so that you can be mentally prepared and make appropriate plans.
But from my own point of view, I agree with Brother Niu and go save people first.
After all, the soul-controlling insect mother body is quite powerful. Even if we find their nest, we can't attack it at all.
According to my estimation, there are countless demon beasts in the Yuantai period where the soul-controlling insect mother bodies gather. We must at least accumulate a considerable amount of strength before we are qualified to attack there."
Hearing Ye Li's words, the three captains nodded. For now, they really had no solution.
Niu Shan looked into the distance and said, "Let's rush to the Great Rift Valley now and try to rescue as many people as possible along the way.
And I hope to meet squadron leaders and captains on the way, because only they have the strength to fight against the powerful forces around the soul-controlling insect mother body."
After everyone had discussed it, they set out immediately, gathered together and marched quickly towards the Great Rift Valley.
As more and more people gathered, they were able to arrange themselves into basic fighting postures. All the talisman masters who were proficient in defense stood at the outermost edge of the team, protecting the people responsible for attacking inside.
Ye Li, who was basically one of the most important people in the team, was arranged to the center by the three captains.
Mu Tianzhi and Huang Jian were Ye Li's companions. The guards were very grateful for their rescue and had no intention of letting them face danger. They arranged the two of them next to Ye Li, which was equivalent to protecting them at the core of the team.
Afterwards, Niu Shan took over the command of the entire army and led everyone towards the Great Rift Valley.
Ye Li had looked at the map before. The direction of the Great Rift Valley was at the intersection of Qilin Ridge and the outside human world. It was at most two miles away from here, so the straight-line distance was not far.
But this is a hilly area after all, and if you want to get there, you have to turn over the mountains several times, so the distance along the way becomes longer.
Along the way, Ye Li suddenly had an idea and asked, "Brother Niu, you just said that before the large army was completely disbanded, they all headed towards the direction of the Great Rift Valley. Why is that? Is it easier to deploy a defensive offensive there?"
Hearing Ye Li's sudden question, Niu Shan was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said: "No, you misunderstood me. What I just said was not that we want to escape in the direction of the Great Rift Valley, but that the monsters' attack forced us to flee in that direction.
Along the way, there were monster armies attacking us from all directions. Only in the direction of the Great Rift Valley did it seem that there were the fewest monsters, so everyone was in danger and did not have time to think before heading in that direction. "
Hearing Niu Shan's answer, Ye Li's heart moved and said, "Brother Niu, all the monsters here are controlled by soul-controlling insects, and their attack methods are uniformly deployed.
Since it's an ambush and a defensive war, they can just surround you, so why would they leave a hole for you to escape
These soul-controlling insects are extremely intelligent, not much different from humans, and they should not make such a low-level mistake, which means they may have deliberately released you to the Great Rift Valley."
Ye Li's words startled the three captains. Niu Shan was stunned for a moment, then said, "They deliberately led us to the Great Rift Valley, why
What is there over there in the Great Rift Valley? Could there be an even more powerful army of demon beasts lying in ambush over there?"
Ye Li shook his head upon hearing this and said, "I don't think so. If there are more powerful monster armies, they can mobilize them and directly participate in the encirclement and suppression, trapping you to death here, and there is no need to let you go to the Great Rift Valley to kill you. This obviously has other purposes."
As Ye Li spoke, he took out the map he had received earlier, which marked all the terrain nearby.
After carefully looking at the map in his hand, Ye Li quickly found the location of the Great Rift Valley, which was indeed not far ahead.
Looking along the rift, Ye Li suddenly discovered that there was a huge lake in front of the rift.
"Brother Niu, what kind of lake is this?"
Ye Li pointed to the big lake at the front of the Great Rift Valley on the map and asked.
Niu Shan took a look and said, “This is Jiaolong Pond, where legend has it that monsters transform into dragons.
But this is just a legend. Many of us have been there, and apart from ordinary monsters, there is no threat there."
Hearing Niu Shan's words, Ye Li fell into deep thought. After a moment, he said, "Brother Niu, if our opponent is a human, what might be their purpose in leading us to the Great Rift Valley?"
Ye Li’s words made Niu Shan stunned and fell into deep thought.
"If it's human, what's the purpose of leading us to the Great Rift Valley
The Great Rift Valley is narrow, but the cliffs on both sides are not very high, so even if we use huge rocks to attack, it is not too difficult for us to resist.
So if humans wanted to attack us there, they wouldn't use this tactic...
No, wait a minute, I understand, it's the Jiaolong Pond, the target of those soul-controlling insects is the Jiaolong Pond!"
Niu Shan seemed to suddenly understand something and roared in panic.
