Chapter 133 Hexagram - Avenger, Fierce
Ian nodded. "Okay, I'll leave this to you. We've turned the Red Griffin into a cartilaginous bird and it can't fly anymore. It doesn't pose any threat."
This Five Narrow Pass has a deep strategic significance. He has a vague premonition that the attack of the demon clan this time is not just like this. Maybe the sixth-level strongmen will come. If the captain of ten thousand men is not brought here as soon as possible, they will have no power to resist.
The demon tribe was disturbed by him and now even the red griffin couldn't fly, so they had to suspend the attack.
Until the evening, Ian was speculating on various possibilities. What would happen if he was the commander of the demon tribe?
The answer is...
Ian quickly gathered all the team members at Gate No. 1, "Pearl, tell us about our battle tonight."
Seeing his solemn expression, Pei'er took out the hexagram plate and the conch shell that had not been used for a long time without saying anything, and chanted the profound spell: "Two thousand liters of earth and stone, ten inches of rain..."
A string of symbols appeared above the hexagram plate - tjt qvt ftj qb!
Pearl translated: "Avengers, fierce!"
Pei'er put away the divination plate and looked at Ian, "This..."
"It's just as I expected..."
At that moment, Ian told the whole story of what he had inferred:
...This Five Narrow Pass is a pass that the demon tribe must guard. We have been secretly blocking them one after another. If I were their commander, I would definitely ask about the opponent's troop strength from the few griffins that escaped that day.
The five of us should be the strongest force. Then we carried out a decapitation operation and were exposed. They already know our true combat power and perhaps they should arrange our opponents.
Then, Nana and I used a trick to transform the red griffin into a cartilaginous bird and delayed their attack, but it was just a delay.
If I were them, I would send out strong men to carry out a decapitation operation tonight, or launch an attack directly, and use some means to restrict the five of us.
Combined with Pei'er's hexagram, it is a "bad omen" for the five of us, which means we will definitely face a sixth-level combat force. The only lucky thing is that it is bad and not very bad, or a death hexagram.
Xinghun said irritably: "It's all the fault of this centurion commander. He's so stupid. By the time the ten thousand commanders arrive, it will probably be too late."
"Forget it, Xinghun. No one is perfect. Let's just think of a way to get through this difficult time!"
"If you ask me, we also have experience fighting against the sixth-level demon tribe. Although it was in a dream, it is not irresistible." Pei'er comforted.
Ian shook his head. "It's not that easy. If the enemy is something like the flying eagle or the demon crane, the hexagram wouldn't say that. When we took the first move, I had already exposed my mental attack. The other party might have invited a great demon that is good at mental power or a sixth-level or higher demon beast."
Seeing that everyone was under great pressure, Ian laughed and said, "Maybe I am just worrying too much. Don't be too stressed. We are a small team, what?"
The fat man said: "The Avengers!"
"Team, Avengers Team, a sharp blade inserted into the enemy's heart!"
The other blades looked up and said together, "Avengers, a blade into the enemy's heart!"
A good leader is not necessarily the most powerful one, but he must be someone who can rally the team members and point out the direction.
"From now on, the five of us cannot separate. If such a person really comes, Xinghun and I will lead the attack, Nana and Pei'er will create opportunities for us, and Fatty will be ready to rescue us at any time."

At this time, the centurions at other checkpoints were asking the captain why the members of the Avengers team never came back after they left?
Unconsciously, their team had become the reassurance and backbone of the Thousand Man Team. Without them around, they began to feel nervous.
As a last resort, the thousand-man captain brought many centurions to ask questions.
No one thought that the centurion was condescending to go there in person instead of passing the message to them.
Ian smiled and repeated all his previous inferences. In the end, he only said that the man would be handed over to the Avengers. They would wait at Gate No. 3 and transfer Gao Lian's Centurions as well. Others, including the fifth-level strongmen, would go to other gates and try to delay until the arrival of the Ten Thousand Captains.
The sky gradually darkened, and everyone's heart tightened. The five checkpoints were silent with only the sound of breathing, as if they were waiting for the judgment of death.
It is unnecessary to do anything now. Under this extremely depressing situation, not a single soldier in the army retreated or ran away.
Ian seemed to understand a little bit why the ancient Shu army had to conduct the reserve army assessment.
"Woooooooo..."
Here it comes. The oppressive aura created a gust of wind that swept in from the direction of the demon clan, and everyone was on full alert.
Even without the Shadow Fox Clan and the Red Griffin Clan, the Demon Clan did not arrange any tactics at all and rushed towards the five checkpoints all at once.
The number of Diamond Mantises is the largest and the fastest. Each of them is about two meters tall. The lower body of the fourth-level Diamond Mantis has evolved into human legs, but they still return to their original form in combat form.
Although this King Kong mantis can reach nearly seventy to eighty meters in a normal jump, and at least a hundred meters with a strong leap, fortunately the ditch in front is wide enough. Due to their large number, their jumping frequency is not that fast, otherwise they will collide with each other in the air, and there will be no place to step when they fall.
"The usual tactic of the demon tribe is a war of attrition. Unfortunately, they miscalculated. Pei'er, the first wave depends on you!"
Pei'er nodded, and the cursed environment enveloped the ravine in front of Gate No. 3. Any mantises that jumped in would fight each other. Their most powerful were the pair of sickle-wielding ones. For a while, Gate No. 3 was flooded with blood, and Guo Lian didn't even need to take action.
It’s just that there were too many enemies, and Pearl’s cursed illusion only lasted half a minute before dissipating. Normally, her illusion could last for ten minutes without any problem.
It's like the cursed illusion is like a basin of alcohol. If it is placed on the ground, it may take a long time to evaporate, but if many people come and each scoops a ladle, it will be gone in a short while.
Next it was Selina's turn to perform. As she cast her magic skills, the ravine turned into a swamp. The King Kong Mantises that jumped in were trapped in it, and before they could get up they were pinned down by the ones behind them.
Then Selina used her fifth-level advanced range attack magic - Golden Light Slash.
Pieces of golden knives cut towards the enemy, harvesting another wave of heads. The leader behind quickly issued an order to retreat.
In just a short while, more than 500 mantises were lost at Gate No. before they even got close to the stone wall.
The other four checkpoints were better, but a small number of the ancient Shu army had suffered casualties, and all the monsters temporarily retreated, ending the first round of attack.
