Chapter 299.
Puff!
A streak of light instantly pierced through the head of a wolf beast.
This small calf-like demonic beast did not have time to let out a wail as it violently fell forward onto the snowy ground.
Crimson blood quickly soaked the thick snow, which was exceptionally shocking to look at.
[Human Virtue +37
Wang Chen took the Wind and Thunder Sword that had just killed the demonic beast with his probing hand and took it back into his robe sleeve.
Although he had captured a good prey, he did not have the slightest joy.
This was the fourth attack Wang Dust had encountered in the past three days.
After the beginning of winter there had been a series of heavy snowfalls, and it was getting colder and colder day by day, to the point where water was dripping into ice.
And the number of demonic beasts that ran out from the Jade Dragon Mountain was increasing!
Earlier, when Wang Chen was practicing his spells near his cave, he came across demonic beasts coming down the mountain to forage for food.
Today, on his way to Flying Immortal City, he bumped into a pack of snow wolves again.
He avoided the group of demonic beasts, only to be sneak attacked on his way back now!
Luckily, the sneak attack was a snow wolf that had fallen alone, otherwise a head-on conflict with the pack wouldn’t have been so easy to resolve.
Fear, Wang Chen was not afraid.
But he had a vague feeling that the current situation was just the beginning, and he was afraid that the situation behind him would be even worse!
There were as many demonic beasts as there were hairs on the ground in the Jade Dragon Mountain Range, and apart from the lowest-ranking first-order Transformation Demons, second-order Spirit Demons abounded, and even more powerful Great Demons were also in the minority.
Second-order spirit demons were equivalent to Purple Mansion cultivators, not only were they able to cast natural spells, but they also possessed a high level of intelligence.
It was a very difficult alien.
Most of the cultivators who ventured into the Jade Dragon Mountain had lost their lives to the claws and teeth of the spirit demons.
The snow wolves that Wang Chuan had just killed were just ordinary Demonization Demons, and even if there were more of them, he couldn’t fight them but he could still run away.
If the leader of the wolves is a spirit demon, then the situation is difficult to say.
If you encountered a group of spirit demons ……
Returning to the cave, Wang Chen did not hesitate and immediately sealed the entrance completely.
Immediately after that, he sealed off the tunnel leading to the underground chamber.
One must plan for the worst in everything.
Once the beast tide broke out, then the first ones to be unlucky would be people like Wang Chuan, who lived in the vicinity of Flying Immortal City.
And Flying Immortal City was not safe.
The city didn’t even have a city wall, let alone a protective array.
Most importantly, the cultivators in the city were ganging up and fighting on their own, calling it a rabble was a bit too much, and it was more correct to describe it as a scattering of sand.
Expecting them to be united against the beast tide was tantamount to a fool’s dream!
Of course, the outbreak of the beast tide is just a guess, or hunch, and not necessarily correct.
However, it is never wrong to be careful and make preparations in advance.
As a matter of fact, Wang Chuan planned to stay in the underground chamber for the winter, and then go to Flying Immortal City in the coming spring to look for the team that would cross the Jade Dragon Mountain Range.
As for the stockpile of supplies, with the spirit rice and beast meat that he had stored in his storage bag, eating for ten or eight years would not be a problem.
Some time ago, he had earned quite a few more spirit stones, enough to maintain the long-term operation of the Spirit Gathering Formation.
The days went by comfortably as usual!
In the next few days, Wang Chen dug out a fourth escape chamber underneath the third level chamber.
The tunnel connecting this chamber was opened up to twenty miles away.
Now, Wang Dust was finally at ease.
In fact, at this time, Wang Chuan had not yet considered himself as a true Purple Mansion Superior, and his strength was far more powerful than that of the original Qi Practicing Junior Cultivator.
In the face of unpredictable dangers, he still harbored a heart of caution.
However, many times, such caution was the key to surviving a dangerous calamity.
At the same time that Wang Dust began to live in a deep cave for the winter, an unusually violent snowstorm hit the Yulong Mountainous Region.
The lead-gray sky was overcast, and the palm-sized snowflakes poured down in a never-ending gust.
In just one day and one night’s work, the snow on the ground was already half a person deep.
Aside from the Purple Mansion and Qi Practicing Cultivators who possessed flying magic weapons, it was difficult for others to move around in the wild, let alone go into the mountains to hunt or collect medicines.
Coupled with the frequent appearance of demonic beasts over the past few days, a large number of cultivators living on the outskirts of Flying Immortal City began to crowd inside the city.
The already crowded Flying Immortal City became even more chaotic, and conflicts between cultivators became more and more frequent.
It wasn’t until the blizzard stopped that people realized the situation was not good!
“Beast tide!”
A pale-faced cultivator rushed across the long street and let out a heartbreaking cry, “A beast tide has broken out!”
His cry immediately evoked the memories of many residents of Flying Immortal City.
Flying Immortal City, which was situated under the Jade Dragon Mountain, had suffered from more than one beast tide.
Each time, it left extremely painful memories for the survivors.
And the last time the beast tide appeared was still twenty years ago.
The newcomers didn’t know about it, and many old people had long since forgotten about it, but when the beast tide occurred again now, the fear that was deeply hidden in the bottom of their hearts suddenly rose up like a tidal wave.
The marketplace was suddenly in chaos.
Some people fled back to their homes as fast as they could, closing the portals and hiding in underground chambers.
Flying Immortal City had no city defense to speak of, and those who settled in the city would dig tunnels and chambers to hide from the disaster.
There were also some cultivators who immediately put up their flying magic weapons and fled towards the south.
They didn’t want to stay and face the terrible beast tide.
It is important to know that many demonic beasts can dig holes and burrow into the ground, hiding underground does not mean it is safe.
The only way to save one’s life was to flee far away before the beast tide came!
Unfortunately, the actions of these cultivators were still a step too slow.
Newt ~
Accompanied by a sharp chirp, a large group of giant eagles appeared in the sky above Flying Immortal City.
In the next moment, countless wind blades fell from the sky!
The cultivators who had just harnessed their flying spells and were preparing to run away bore the brunt of the demonic fowls’ strikes.
These pale green crescent wind blades were as thin as cicada wings, breaking through the air at an extremely fast speed and enveloping hundreds of cultivators in the blink of an eye.
A piece of two wind blades could hardly pose a threat to the cultivators who had enchanted their Spirit Light Shield Armor.
However the number of wind blades that landed on the body increased to several dozens of pieces or even more, then the Spirit Light Shield Armor would not be able to withstand it.
“Ah~”
A dozen or so cultivators fell from the air in unison, drenching blood splashing onto the roofs and streets, along with severed limbs and broken arms!
Although the other cultivators were lucky enough to escape or carry them off hard, the second wave of wind blades that ensued plunged them into deep despair.
At the same time, a large number of demonic beasts appeared in the vicinity of Flying Immortal City.
Ow roar~
Low hissing sounds rose and fell as a group of tigers, leopards, and jackals approached towards this city of cultivators.
Some large-sized demonic beasts were controlling different groups of beasts, and they constantly used their roars to pass on information, extremely tacitly surrounding Flying Immortal City.
Anyone could tell that a tragic war was about to break out!
