Chapter 368: Beast Tide (1)
It was past midnight, and there was no sound around except for the cry of insects and the crackling of the bonfire.
Lian Hua leaned gently on Victor’s shoulder, breathing rhythmically.
Lin Yiya and Lin Zihui leaned together. The latter revealed a smile as if he was dreaming about something.
As for Leng Wuqing and Leng Wuyou, they were currently on night watch. In another hour, they would have to wake up Lin Zihui and Victor to switch shifts.
After eating the whole beef leg, everyone was immersed in the tranquility of the night.
Besides Nalan Lengling.
She closed her eyes lightly and sat cross-legged on the flying crane, circulating her spiritual energy to cultivate.
“Hey! w.a.n.g Cheng, Lin Zihui, it’s your turn to be on night watch. Get up quickly!”
With the heavy responsibility of mutual reliance, the two brothers, Leng Wuqing and Leng Wuyou, were extremely jealous.
Why was it that everyone had an elder or younger sister, but they were both men?
If they were to hug each other when they sleep, tsk, tsk, tsk, that would be a hard sight to see.
“Shh, I’m not sleeping. Keep your voice down. Don’t wake her up.”
Victor slowly opened his eyes and stood up gently, afraid that he would wake Lian Hua.
On the other side, Lin Zihui also stood up reluctantly to replace Leng Wuqing.
“I can finally rest…”
Leng Wuyou sighed softly and found a place to sigh. Just as he laid down, he was kicked over by Victor!
“What are you doing!”
“Don’t sleep! We’re in trouble, senior sister! I can feel a lot of footsteps coming toward us!”
“Footsteps?”
Hearing this, Nalan Lengling slowly opened her eyes. Instantly, her expression changed.
“Not good! It’s a beast tide!”
Nalan Lengling got up in a panic and rode the white crane straight into the clouds. A moment later, she finally landed, her face pale.
“It’s a beast tide, a large number of them too.”
“d.a.m.n it! It’s only autumn, how can there be a beast tide so early in the season?”
“Now, the most important thing is to survive. My white crane can ride two people.”
“But there are eight of us in total. Besides you, all of us are foundation establishment cultivators.”
A standard plan could not keep up with the changes. Even Victor had never thought that they would actually trigger a beast tide!
At this moment, all the demon beasts within a radius of a hundred miles were like a tide, swarming toward Victor and his group. Among them, there was no lack of cultivators comparable to spiritual pedestal realm cultivators.
Although the individual strength of the demonic beasts was not strong, once they formed a beast tide, that powerful impact force was something that even core formation realm cultivators could not safely withstand!
“Now that things have come to this point, we can only forcefully endure it!”
“That’s not right, senior sister. Among us, only you can resist the beast tide. However, you can’t do it alone. The seven of us staying here will only cause you trouble. Senior sister, you should quickly leave. Bring Nalan Xinxin along with you!”
“We’re fellow disciples. Do you think I’ll let you guys stay here?”
“If we don’t do this, we won’t be able to leave! Of course, senior sister, I have some selfish motives. If it’s possible, can you bring my sister along with you?”
“And my sister…”
“Us brothers… forget it, we won’t leave.”
“Four people are indeed a little too much for the flying crane. However, it should be able to hold on. The key is, what are you guys going to do?”
“At this point, we can only think of a way to survive!”
“No way! I’m the senior sister, and I have the final say! Xinxin, take out the defensive spell formation diagram I gave you. I’ll be the core of the spell formation, and you guys shall try your best to pour spiritual power into it. We’ll hold on for as long as we can. If we really can’t hold on… I’ll take the three of them and leave.”
Under such circ.u.mstances, Nalan Lengling also knew that she could not be too soft-hearted. She had to give up on something, otherwise, none of them would be able to survive.
However, she was the only core formation realm cultivator in the group. No matter what, she had to stay!
Taking out the formation map, Nalan Lengling used her energy to draw the formation around her.
When Victor and the others poured all their spiritual power into the formation, a dazzling light burst out!
Six blue stars in a hexagonal formation spun and a sky curtain was formed with spiritual power!
“Water Curtain Sky Flower!”
Nalan Lengling grunted and poured most of her spiritual power into the formation. At the same time, the first wave of the beast tide finally arrived!
Three savage blood bulls lowered their heads with red eyes and crashed heavily into the Water Curtain Sky Flower!
Bang!
With a m.u.f.fled sound, the entire formation shook continuously as if it would be broken in the next moment!
“Spirit energy! I need more spirit energy!”
“There’s no more…”
Nalan Xinxin, whose cultivation base was the weakest, collapsed to the ground, her eyes bloodshot. At this moment, the spirit energy in her body had been completely exhausted.
“I’m sorry, big sister… I’m sorry…”
“There’s no need to be sorry. You’ve done your best. Leave the rest to me!”
In the formation, Victor struggled to his feet. Enduring the immense pressure, he took out a pill from his storage ring and swallowed it.
“Blood Burning Pill? w.a.n.g Cheng! You’re crazy!”
“I’m not crazy! If we can’t hold on, everyone will die here! Senior sister, I only have one request! If the Water Curtain Sky Flower falls, I beg of you, please take my sister and leave!”
After saying that, Victor roared, and the veins on his forehead bulged. He grabbed Leng Wuqing’s Podao and rushed out of the Water Curtain Sky Flower!
“w.a.n.g Cheng! Come back quickly! You will die!”
“If I can’t do it, we’ll all die. But if I can, there’s still a chance of survival!”
Victor held the Podao tightly and looked at the incoming Gold Python. With a loud shout, the power of his qi and blood burst out and actually cut the Gold Python, which was comparable to the spiritual pedestal realm, in half!
“Senior sister! Senior sister! I beg you to save my brother!”
Seeing this scene, Lian Hua was also a little anxious. Before taking action, Victor did not inform her!
“He swallowed the Blood Burning Pill. After the effect of the pill ends, only death awaits him. Only the great elder can safe him.”
Nalan Lengling shook her head and looked at Victor with admiration. That day at the back of the mountain, Nalan Lengling had already heard that her junior brother, w.a.n.g Cheng, was a chivalrous man who sacrificed himself for others.
However, what she heard from others was never as shocking as what she witnessed with her own eyes.
He was only at the foundation establishment realm, yet he used his weak shoulders to block in front of the water curtain.
However, how could Victor do such a brainless thing?
Of course, Victor did not swallow the Blood Burning Pill just now. The reason why he did so was mainly to find a reasonable reason for his explosive growth in strength.
Just now, Victor had found out that there were no demon beasts that could rival core formation realm cultivators in the beast tide. Victor could hold on!
As for the side effects of the Blood Burning Pill, Victor had already thought of an excuse.
That was right, Elder Tianji would be taking the blame.
“A bunch of livestock! From today onwards, remember your grandfather’s name! The inner sect of the Fire Sect, great elder’s disciple, w.a.n.g Cheng!”
