"This attack by a beast tide is really unheard of. I have been doing business in [Wanjin Chamber of Commerce] for so many years, and I have set foot in the Dongyun Mountains hundreds of times, but I have never encountered such a violent beast tide like today. Attack. According to the judgment of me and the two martial arts masters, there must be something weird about the attack of the beast tide. From the state of the spirit beast's surprise attack, it looks like there is some unknown existence behind it controlling it; otherwise, based on the nature of the spirit beast, it will never After such tragic casualties, they still attack us as if they don't care about their lives!" The big man expressed the predicament in front of him with a solemn face, and there was a look of helplessness in his eyes.
After hearing such words, Tian Jihong also frowned, and his experience of being attacked by the Rabbit and Rat King two days ago naturally appeared in his mind, which was exactly the same as the current situation. He also understood in his heart what a terrible impact it would have if such an almost crazy and irrational spirit beast gathered together and charged like a tide.
Although the numbers of the spiritual beasts in all directions are not as terrifying as the rabbits and rats the day before yesterday, their individual strength is much higher. With Tianjihong's own strength, it might be difficult to deal with three or two of them, but once he falls into the depths of the beast tide and is surrounded, the end may be even more miserable than falling into the rat tide.
At the same time, the big man in front of him continued to complain to several people as if grasping a life-saving straw: "By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Tong Bo, the leader of my group. Unfortunately, in the caravan, there is still no strength. There are only three people who can see it, including me. Now, with the full resistance of the whole team led by me, and only under the impact of the beast tide at the front, we will guard this small area in the center of the platform. And that’s not to mention the several powerful spiritual beasts that are eyeing us from afar.”
"Therefore, even if we deduced that there was something strange behind the launch of this beast tide, while we were distracted to protect the safety of the caravan, we were unable to break through the siege and explore the depths of the dense forest. Fortunately, several people arrived in time to help, and so are I On behalf of the entire Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, I would like to express my gratitude to several fellow Taoists." The excitement in Tong Bo's tone was genuine.
"You're welcome, Mr. Tong. When your sect is in trouble, it's only right for me to come to help." Before the two Qingluo Sect members standing in the center could speak, Wang Qing, who hurriedly exposed half of his head behind him, was the first to reply. Said, "Our purpose was to go to Dongsheng Town in the south through the teleportation array, but we didn't expect that such a change would happen halfway. Now that we are all human monks, it is human nature to help each other. I don't know, Manager Tong Can you tell us the current situation in detail?"
"Yes, no problem! At present, with the strength of twenty or thirty people in my caravan, we have firmly locked the battle lines on the east, west and south sides of the surrounding platform. The north side has not been attacked by the spirit beasts due to special reasons. I will elaborate on this later." Tong Bo also hurriedly used the most concise language to explain everyone's situation to the newcomers.
"In addition to the tide of beasts surging up in these three directions, what scares us the most is that behind them, there are one or two powerful spiritual beasts lurking in the dark to intimidate us, which makes us dare not Launch an active attack in their direction. According to our judgment, most of the four or five spiritual beasts hiding in this dense forest have reached the [Bone Forging Realm] strength. If a few of them want to break out from these three directions, We must face the problem of how to deal with these caretakers.”
Hearing this, except for the young man holding the bow who maintained a stern expression all the way, everyone else's expressions changed a little. Even the two girls from the Qingluo Sect in the center frowned slightly. Presumably, with the strength of the latter two, it would be difficult to deal with several spiritual beasts of this level in a row; let alone Tianjihong, he was facing such a beast that was even more powerful than the previous Purple Lightning Eagle. When it comes to spiritual beasts, I'm afraid there won't even be a chance to fight back.
"I wonder what's going on in the north?" A clear voice like a silver bell came from the mouth of one of the Qingluo Sect. Judging from the way he cherishes words like gold, it is obvious that he usually does not want to have too many conversations and contacts with outsiders.
"Oh, the north side is even more difficult!" Tong Bo couldn't help but shook his head, and a look of fear appeared on his face inadvertently, "With the strength of the two fairies, they must be able to vaguely detect that side through their soul consciousness. Is that the case? Can you feel that your soul power is imprisoned by an inexplicable mesh-like barrier when it comes into contact with the edge of the dense forest? "
"To be honest, you all know that the north is heading towards the depths of Dongyun Mountain. This beast wave actually started from the north, and then detoured from the outer dense forest to other directions, and then surrounded this place. Even our analysis shows that the source of the secretly manipulating beast tide is probably located in this direction."
"But that's not the most troublesome thing. There are no spiritual beasts guarding the north direction. The main reason is that there were three poisonous spiders there half a day ago. I don't need to explain this. Most of you know this. Isn't the Demonic Poison Spider very powerful? The web it weaves has already covered all the trees within half a mile to the north, making it impossible to break out from here."
Recalling the area entangled with dense black silk threads, Tong Bo couldn't help but feel his scalp numb. At first, he tried to lead people to explore the source of the beast tide from the north, but he was forcibly trapped by the dense forest. The spider webs blocked it back, and after that, they could only huddle in the encirclement and hold on to their position.
Tian Jihong, who had little knowledge, didn't know much about the poisonous poisonous spider described by Tong Bo, so he could only ask Wang Qing in a low voice. Although the latter did not look as nervous as facing a powerful enemy like the others around him at this time, the solemn look on his face was undisguised, and he clearly understood the power of the poisonous poisonous spider.
Seeing Tianjihong's inquiry at this moment, Wang Qing had nothing to hide and explained in a low voice: "Little brother, don't you know yet? The poisonous spider is a terrible species that is hated by all living things. In terms of its strength, it is actually only It can barely be considered as someone who has just stepped into cultivation, and even a Demonic Poison Spider with a lifespan of hundreds of years is only at the Kaiyuan Realm."
"What really makes the Demonic Poison Spider notorious is its terrible toxicity. In addition to the venom in its body that can threaten creatures in the Bone Forging Realm and even stronger cultivation levels, the spiritual power absorbed by the Demonic Poison Spider all year round has not been It can be used to enhance one's own strength, so it is discharged from the body through the spider silk it spits out. This results in the spider webs formed by the poisonous poison spiders, which have two colors: gray and black. Among them, the black spider silk is particularly deadly and has It is extremely corrosive, and if you and I are as powerful as you and me, if we touch it with our bodies, we will be melted instantly."
"Due to their weak strength and thin soul power, the Demonic Poison Spider is often used as a puppet to be manipulated by humans or other spiritual beasts. Many cult sects that practice spiritual consciousness will raise such vicious spiritual beasts as their enemies. When dealing with such creatures, most monks are not willing to fight with them physically, and often use remote soul suppression to make them submit." Wang Qing said.
"So that's what happened. I didn't expect this thing to be so difficult to deal with." Tianjihong also murmured. According to Wang Qing, he himself has never developed soul power. With his usually better physical fitness, he was basically restrained when facing these poisonous spiders. Therefore, he will never take the initiative to take on the important task of dealing with these poisonous poisonous spiders.
"Yes, and that's not all. According to what Tong Bo said, the source of controlling the beast tide comes from this direction. You must know that in the martial arts world, there are monks or soul beasts who have the ability to control foreign creatures through soul consciousness. It's one of a kind, and the secret techniques used to manipulate it all consume a huge amount of money on the user, so generally speaking, the operator's strength is often far greater than that of the spiritual beast being manipulated." Wang Qing continued.
"That is to say, at its source, whether it is a human or an animal, its strength is probably far higher than that of the Bone Forging Realm. For such a terrifying person, even if everyone present goes up together, they will probably hit the stone with an egg." Wang Qing's voice It also gradually became depressed, and it sounded like it was not too optimistic about the current situation.
Tianjihong also shook his head slightly, silently as he did at the beginning of his return. He knew that in such a crisis, all he could do was be like Wang Qing and be content with saving his life as much as possible. As for how to complete the follow-up deployment, it is decided by several highly skilled people in the central government. What I have to consider is how to make use of the drawn up follow-up plan to escape as soon as possible, so as not to be abandoned as cannon fodder by my companions because of my weakness.
"It seems like there are not many options to choose from!" Another person from the Qingluo Sect also said, and the soft sword in his hand easily pierced a badger-like spiritual beast that flew towards him.
Tong Bo also nodded and said: "Yes, since there is no way to break through from the north, there are only two ways: one is to find ways to defeat the guardian spirit beasts on the other three sides and look for possible breakout opportunities; this is the only way Even with the help of a few people, you have to take a lot of risks if you want to achieve it. After all, the spiritual beasts hiding in several places are not too far apart. Once they realize that we are preparing to force a breakout, they are likely to gather together and attack us. Get angry."
"The second natural option is to continue to hold our position as we are now. I looked at it and it should be no more than half a day before the teleportation array is activated behind us. As long as we can continue to hold on until this hour, we can use this method to get rid of these pursuing soldiers. , relatively speaking the risk is smaller.”
"The only disadvantage of doing this is that firstly, it may be difficult for you to find the way to Dongsheng Town, so you have to choose a detour; secondly, it is not sure whether the guys controlling the beast tide will come up with new tricks during this period. Come on, once the opponent reacts and forces all the spirit beasts to launch a desperate fight, we will probably suffer a lot of casualties if we are trapped here for defense."
