After making the decision, Yu Youqi led the team to climb through the cliffs of the mountains.
After passing through a narrow road that only one person could pass through, the group of fifty or so people finally arrived at a low-lying area. The cave that Yu Youqi had mentioned before was in the center of this low-lying area.
Looking at a cave that opened close to the ground not far away, Niu Shan asked, "Maybe, can this cave really lead to Jiaolong Pond?"
Yu Youqi nodded and said, "It definitely leads to Jiaolong Pond. I went through here to chase the monster.
I still remember the route I took, this is definitely a shortcut.”
Seeing Yu Youqi's determined expression, Niu Shan and the others finally put aside their doubts and followed Yu Youqi into the cave in front.
This tunnel is very narrow and can only accommodate one person. In some places, one has to bend down and curl up to get through, making it very difficult to walk through.
When more than fifty people passed through the cave, the air became very turbid and stuffy, making everyone feel uncomfortable.
But after all, everyone's goal was to get to the Jiaolong Pool as early as possible, so they didn't care too much about the environment here.
A group of fifty people kept turning in the cave, and after about half an hour, they saw the exit in front of them.
Yu Youqi said excitedly: "Yes, this is it. After going out from here, a few dozen meters ahead is the Jiaolong Pond.
This cave spans across several mountain ranges, allowing us to reach Jiaolong Pond in a straight line."
Hearing Yu Youqi's words, everyone felt excited. Being able to reach their destination at such a fast speed, their hope of stopping the monster's plan increased a lot.
The group quickly got out of the cave and returned to the ground.
As soon as he saw the surrounding environment, Niu Shan smiled and said, "Sure enough, this road is indeed a shortcut. We are already outside the Jiaolong Pond. I have been here before.
It turns out that this hole leads to here. I never expected it."
After looking around for a while, Niu Shan immediately turned around and said to the people around him, "Everyone, get ready. We are going to pass through this bush and the Jiaolong Pond is in front of us. Everyone, please be careful and don't make too much noise.
Let's go check first to see if our previous speculation is true. If we find that the monsters have really built a dam, we must stop them immediately. " Everyone nodded when they heard this, and their faces returned to their previous vigilance.
Afterwards, the group crouched again, and in a very concealed posture, they quickly passed through the bushes in front of them, and then came to the outside of the Jiaolong Pool.
After pushing aside the bushes blocking the way, a huge lake appeared in front of everyone.
The water of this lake looks a little gray and gives a very sticky feeling. This water is what Niu Shan calls heavy water, and its weight is much greater than ordinary water.
Through the bushes, everyone saw at a glance a huge dam at the exit of the valley opposite.
The dam is built by accumulating earth and rocks, and its height reaches the top of the valley cliff.
The water level in the dam has now reached the height of half the valley. If it continues like this, it will be completely filled up in less than two hours.
And this is most likely the time when the monsters break the dam to release water and attack the valley.
If such a large amount of water was allowed to flow into the valley, the guards marching in the valley would not be able to resist at all.
The impact force brought by the heavy water is countless times greater than that of an ordinary flood. It hits the body like a rock. Even if the talisman masters in the valley work together to build a defense, they may be crushed in an instant by billions of tons of heavy water.
After Ye Li observed the entrance of the valley for a while, he immediately discovered that there were indeed quite a few monsters there.
However, these monsters are all relatively common monsters in the spirit-descending stage, and there are indeed no higher-level monsters.
And judging from the number, there are not many monsters, only about sixty or seventy of them.
If everyone attacks together, as long as they can hold off these sixty or seventy monsters in a short period of time and allow Ye Li to get rid of some of the soul-controlling insect bodies, they will soon become the one with the upper hand in terms of strength.
Even if they lack strength, as long as they can destroy the water-storing section of the dam in advance and let the water flow out from the side facing away from the valley, the threat of floods will gradually disappear.
Not daring to hesitate any longer, Niu Shan called out to everyone, and a group of fifty people instantly rushed out from the bushes, and then rushed towards the dam at the mouth of the valley in front at lightning speed.
They had already made detailed plans in the cave, and the combat mission had fallen on everyone. Everyone knew what they should do, so there was no need to say more at this moment. Ye Li followed Niu Shan and was protected in the center of the team. What he needed to do was to get close to the soul-controlling insect bodies and deal with them as quickly as possible after the team broke through the obstacles of the monsters.
While running forward quickly, everyone worked together to search for the soul-controlling insects. Soon, they found the locations of the five soul-controlling insect bodies.
Although there are more than five soul-controlling insects among this group of monsters, with Ye Li's ability, dealing with five at a time is already his limit, so everyone just needs to find five of them first.
The monsters near the dam never expected that a group of humans would suddenly rush out from their side. After being surprised for a moment, they immediately went into a defensive state.
They have no plans to destroy the dam for the time being. After all, the water in the dam has not yet been filled up, and the power of direct destruction is limited, and it is likely that they will not be able to kill the humans in the valley.
This group of monsters saw that the number of humans was lower than their own, and from the light of human spiritual energy, they also knew that this group of humans were also only at the stage of descending spirits, so they became more relaxed.
After ten breaths or so, the two sides collided with each other. With an extremely determined attitude, the humans formed an arrowhead formation and fiercely chiseled into the group of monsters.
The monsters never expected that humans would give up the advantage of long-range combat and choose close combat. In their view, this was a complete act of seeking death.
Before the soul-controlling insects could figure out why humans did this, Niu Shan and others had already protected Ye Li and rushed to the place closest to the five soul-controlling insects.
Ye Li’s task can be said to be quite arduous, because he must ensure that each of the ten soul-moving talismans he is about to send out can accurately land on the soul-controlling insect.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to interrupt the control of the five soul-controlling insect bodies over the forty monsters.
