Chapter 607: Jindan Monk Takes Action
The gray-whiskered rat squeaked and flew back. The purple-yellow shadow exploded in an instant after being hit, and it dispersed into alcoholic bees. Some of them were knocked unconscious by the gray-whiskered rat and fell to the ground, while the others dispersed and protected Qingyang.
The gray-whiskered rat was blocked by the alcoholic bees and retreated quickly after missing the attack. Qingyang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The moment just now was really thrilling. He was almost attacked by the gray-whiskered rat. If the alcoholic bees reacted slower, he might have lost his life.
After the delay of the gray-whiskered rat, the forest beast that was knocked unconscious had also woken up. It cooperated with another forest beast and attacked Qingyang from the left and right again. The remaining two swift wind wolves were also waiting for an opportunity to move. Together with the gray-whiskered rat hiding in the dark and possibly attacking at any time, several monsters surrounded Qingyang again.
The strength of the monsters has slightly decreased, but the losses are all low-level first- and second-level monsters, which does not have a big impact on the situation on the field. Qingyang also paid a price for this, consuming a lot of physical strength and true energy, but he can only barely keep up with the monsters.
Even Qingyang is in this situation, not to mention other foundation-building disciples. Brother Cai faces no fewer monsters than Qingyang. There are several times when he is in danger. In just a quarter of an hour, he has several more wounds on his body. These are all sneak attacks by gray-bearded rats. If he had not been experienced in combat and dodged in time, he might have died at this time.
Shang Ruhai is a second-level foundation-building cultivator. Although his cultivation is only one level higher than Qingyang and Brother Cai, his combat power is much higher than them. He is not at a disadvantage when facing more than a dozen monsters alone. Among them, there are two fourth-level monsters, and there are also many third- and second-level monsters. However, facing so many monsters, Shang Ruhai is not afraid at all, but has a tendency to become more and more courageous.
There weren't many monsters facing Xiong Jianlin, only three in total, but the monsters were much stronger, two fourth-level forest beasts and one fifth-level gust wolf.
A fifth-level monster was equivalent to a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building, but Xiong Jianlin was not afraid at all. His spiritual weapon was a pair of giant hammers, and with his tall bear-like body, he used it like a giant spirit god in the world, fighting the monster head-on, and even hitting the forest beast back from time to time.
Among the five of them, Nong Zaitian was the strongest, and he faced the most monsters, including five or six gust wolves, three forest beasts, two spotted green snakes, one gray-whiskered rat, and even a golden-eyed eagle that attacked from time to time in the air.
If other people faced such pressure, they would have had problems long ago, but Nong Zaitian remained calm, worthy of being an old cultivator who had practiced for more than a hundred years. His combat experience was a little bit stronger than Qingyang, Senior Brother Cai and others, and his attack and defense were orderly.
Facing so many monsters, there are always places where care is not in place, and sometimes he will be injured accidentally, but it does not affect Nong Zaitian's performance at all. He is still not in a hurry, advancing and retreating in a reasonable way, fighting completely at his own pace, and controlling the situation in front of him.
The situation on the entire battlefield is similar to this side. All the monks fight on their own, but three or five people try to get close to each other, forming a small-scale battle group, and cooperating with each other. The battlefield is full of the roar of monsters, the shouts of monks, and the collision of close combat, which shakes the sky.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour has passed. The battle on the battlefield has become more and more intense, and the situation has become more and more intense. The casualties have gradually increased. In this period of time, more than 30 monks have died, and no less than 50 or 60 have been seriously injured. More than one-tenth have lost their combat ability. As for those who were slightly injured, they are everywhere, accounting for at least half of the foundation-building monks present.
The situation on the monster side was similar. The number of monsters killed by the monks reached a thousand, and there were also one or two thousand injured. However, the situation was different from that on the monk side. The strength of the monsters was uneven, and most of the casualties were low-level monsters, which had little impact on the overall strength.
Of course, there were also casualties of high-level monsters. Some monks risked their lives and could severely injure high-level monsters, but the overall number was very small, and it did not have a serious effect on the monster side. Therefore, from the overall situation on the field, the monks were slightly at a disadvantage.
The situation of Qingyang and others was relatively good. Although some of the five of them were injured, they were all relatively minor, and no one was in danger of life. Some monks were unlucky. They encountered powerful high-level monsters at the beginning, or they did not guard against the sneak attacks of gray-bearded rats and golden-eyed eagles, and were killed by monsters because of their untimely response.
Their death will have a chain reaction. After killing the monks, the monsters will turn to attack the monks next to them. The monks next to them are struggling to hold on. Suddenly, other monsters join in. This balance will be quickly broken, causing greater casualties.
Seeing that the situation on the field is becoming more and more unfavorable to the monks, the Jindan monks in the sky finally can't sit still. Elder Manlin of the Demon Suppression Hall looked at Master Gu Hong and said, "Master, the disciples are in a bad situation. If we don't take action, it will be too late."
Several masters are also very clear about the situation on the field. Before, the Jindan monks were prepared to deal with high-level monsters, but the high-level monsters never took action, and they couldn't watch the disciples get into trouble. So Master Yinxu and Master Gu Hong looked at each other, and then said, "The masters of each faction continue to monitor the high-level monsters, and the other Jindan monks will fight together."
The nine Jindan monks had already made preparations. At Master Yinxu's order, they didn't hesitate at all, and at the same time, they flashed and rushed towards the battlefield in front.
Elder Manlin took the lead, and with a thought, a huge Guandao suddenly appeared in the air. The Guandao grew as the wind blew, and in the blink of an eye, it grew to several feet long, bringing light and shadows all over the sky, and chopped at the head of a sixth-level forest beast in front.
A sixth-level monster beast is equivalent to a late-stage foundation-building cultivator. Although it is not as intelligent as a golden elixir monster beast, it is much more sensitive than ordinary monster beasts. He was originally preparing to chase and kill an ordinary foundation-building cultivator, but suddenly felt that his life seemed to be threatened. He looked up and saw that it was a huge Guandao. The monster beast was immediately horrified.
It was too late to dodge at this time. The forest beast suddenly stood up and roared at the sky. The hair on its body stood upside down, as if it had spikes all over its body. At the same time, the skin and flesh on the body of the Forest Beast swelled up instantly, and the stones and plants within a certain range nearby seemed to be attracted by something. They gathered together and stuck tightly to the skin of the Forest Beast, forming a suit of armor made of earth, stones and plants.
