Chapter 316.
Ow roar~
Accompanied by a low roar, a large stone broke through the air.
These stones were irregularly round, each one was two or three feet square, and the throwing power was so great that it could directly smash a large tree into two pieces, and when it landed on the ground, it was a deep pit.
The scary thing was that the throwing stones fell like rain, and the attack was unceasing!
Three hundred cultivators rode three hundred Zhenshan Rhinoceroses in a defensive formation.
And the riding saddles of all the Zhenshan Rhinoceros all shone with a faint golden glow, and a beam of light shot up into the sky, forming a layer of mana defense shield that blocked the stone balls that smashed over.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The stone ball and the shield collided violently, and although the former was all but bounced off, the outermost layer of the mana barrier appeared to fluctuate violently, its light dimming at the speed of the naked eye.
If this situation continued, it was only a matter of time before it collapsed.
Of course, the cultivators would not stand idly by, casting spells or sacrificing magic weapons to launch counterattacks at the attackers.
This was the eleventh day that the group had entered the Jade Dragon Mountain Range.
According to the plan, the group would spend twenty to twenty-five days traversing this thousands of miles wide rift valley.
During the first ten days of the journey, the group had encountered some troubles, but they were all solved by the ferrymen of the Mountain Tumbling Association.
Basically, it was quite smooth.
None of the cultivators had a chance to strike.
However, this morning, they bumped into a migrating demon race.
Most of the demon clans had their own territories, especially the great demons and demon kings, who easily did not return to leave their territories.
Because the demon race had an extremely strong territorial concept, if a great demon entered another great demon’s territory, it often meant an immortal war.
However, there were also quite a number of demon races that actively or passively relocated to find a new home for various reasons.
What the mountain-breaking team encountered was exactly such a group of three-eyed stone apes.
Due to the extremely sudden encounter with each other, a fight broke out as soon as they met, and when the ferryman who led the way was forced to kill and repel the scouts in the group of apes, there was no longer any possibility of peace talks between the two sides.
Angry stone apes came from all directions and surrounded the team.
These stone apes are tall and robust, covered with dense and hard yellow-brown hair, their arms are very long, and the most notable feature is the “stone eyes” on their foreheads.
Three-eyed stone ape’s attack is very special, they use their claws to dig up large pieces of soil, slightly kneaded after the stone eye suddenly open gaze a condensation, instantly curing the mud ball into a stone ball.
Then they swung their long arms towards the cultivators and smashed them.
Although most of the three-eyed stone apes were first-order Transformation Demons, they were extremely powerful, had natural aptitude abilities, and were also quite cunning, so they were very difficult to deal with.
Most importantly, the number of three-eyed stone apes was in the hundreds and thousands, and among them, there were quite a few even stronger three-eyed spirit apes, and with the advantage of occupying the home ground, it instantly caught the cultivators off-guard.
Fortunately, the ferryman is experienced, see the situation is not good immediately gather Zhenshan rhinoceros set up a defense formation.
Only then was able to withstand the crazy attack of the three-eyed stone ape.
Cultivators are certainly not vegetarians, not to mention that there are hundreds of Purple Mansions in the team, and the formation is enough to resist Jindan.
At the moment of crisis, everyone was not stingy in consuming their mana, a fireball, a wind blade, an ice spike, a giant palm, and a divine light blasted at the incoming Three-eyed Stone Ape in a raging wind and rain.
Purple Mansion cultivators cast spells, the power is ten times stronger than practicing qi, one strike a large area, destroying the invincible.
The nearest three-eyed stone apes immediately fell into bad luck, under the bombardment of their spells, they were killed and injured.
Some were directly turned into pieces, some were burned to ashes.
Some were also chopped into pieces.
The deaths were horrific!
Even if only half of the Purple Mansion cultivators in the team struck out, they cleared the surrounding area of several hundred paces, hardening a large area of barren land in a matter of moments.
Not to mention the three-eyed stone apes, even a single blade of grass no longer existed!
The first wave of counterattacks took out at least hundreds of three-eyed stone apes, including a few second-stage spirit apes equivalent to the Purple Mansion.
It greatly dealt a blow to the arrogance of the ape group.
Roar! Roar!
Sharp cries rang out suddenly, and those three-eyed stone apes that were lucky enough not to be affected by the spell storm retreated.
They were large in size, but extremely agile, disappearing into the reckless mountains and forests in the blink of an eye.
“Bah!”
A cultivator spat disdainfully.
Although it was said that the mountain-breaking team was a temporary combination, the power that could be erupted by hundreds of Purple Mansion cultivators and nearly two hundred Qi Practicing high-level cultivators united together was extremely terrifying.
It was useless for these stone apes to grow three eyes, actually striking out at them was purely looking for a hut with a lantern!
However, the leader ferryman was looking grave at the moment, raising his hand to signal everyone to be at ease.
The next moment, a creepy feeling flooded everyone’s heart.
The ground, a slight vibration appeared.
The lead ferryman was immediately startled and shouted sternly, “Protect!”
The cultivators reacted differently, with the fastest immediately injecting mana into their riding saddles the instant the other’s words fell.
The Mount Zhenshan Rhinoceros’s riding saddle was actually a specially designed magic weapon, which could either be activated individually or united with other riding saddles to form a defense spell formation, equivalent to a formation point.
The more the number of formation points, then the stronger the defensive power of the formation formed would naturally be.
It just needs the cultivator’s mana to maintain it!
And this kind of formation, because it was accomplished with the help of a head of Zhenshan rhinoceros, it was also known as the mountain rhinoceros formation
Just now, when dealing with the incoming group of apes, everyone still had some strength left, and now that they heard the ferryman’s heart-rending reminder, the cultivators naturally reacted correctly.
A beam of light rose again, several times brighter than before.
The defense shield that had looked so precarious just a moment ago was greatly strengthened in an instant.
Boom!
Right at the moment the defense formation was re-deployed, the ground once again shook violently.
A long crack appeared on the flattened forest floor, the trees in the distance fell down in large swathes, and the soil tumbled and stirred up like an offended earth dragon, running at high speed towards the direction where the cultivator team was.
And this dragon was still expanding!
When it approached a hundred paces away, it had already grown to dozens of feet wide, like a huge dragon riding on the waves of the sea, bringing with it rolling dust and sweeping towards them.
The cultivators who witnessed this scene all changed color – this was no longer the power of the Purple Mansion level!
But reality no longer allowed them to think about it, all they could do was to do their best to stimulate the spell formation to fight back.
None of the cultivators who were able to cultivate to the high level of Qi Practicing and Purple Mansion were intellectually deficient, and everyone knew very well that if everyone was not united at this time, they were afraid that they would not be able to finish the road behind them at all!
Boom!
A hundred paces away, in an instant, the huge Earth Dragon heavily impacted on the Mountain Rhino Formation.
It shook the sky and moved the earth!
