"Demon cultivator?!" Chen Xiao repeated in astonishment.
Tong Nuonuo pulled open his collar, and the white spirit fruit inside immediately fell out. He reached into the mechanism box, turned his head and said to Chen Xiao: "Yes, it is a demon cultivator. I'm afraid this won't end well. Chen Xiao, prepare to fight!"
Seeing him like this, Chen Xiao's heart trembled. He no longer cared about the question, took out the mechanical hand arrow and the lightning talisman, and quickly formed a mutual support angle with Tong Nuonuo.
The bat monkey king's unusual appearance immediately attracted the attention of Shi Ming's men. Unfortunately, the demon cultivators were a hundred times more powerful than ordinary black-tailed bat monkey kings, and soon the defense line built by the foundation-building period people was shaky.
Chen Xiao suddenly became nervous. He asked hurriedly, "What exactly is a demon cultivator? Is it an animal that has cultivated into a spirit?"
The situation was critical, and Chen Xiao didn't have time to think before speaking, and directly brought out his understanding of demons in his previous life. Tong Nuonuo didn't understand what it meant to become a spirit, but he still explained to Chen Xiao what demon cultivation was: "Demon cultivation is a non-human cultivation of Taoism, fortunately this demon cultivation has not reached the level of transformation into a human." After a pause, Tong Nuonuo took care of Chen Xiao's confusion and added, "The cultivation level of this demon cultivation is the same as that of Fellow Daoist Xi, but the demon cultivation is not called the Golden Core Stage, but the Demon Core Stage."
Chen Xiao's expression suddenly turned ugly. He said, "So, we are facing an opponent with the cultivation base of the Golden Core Stage?"
Tong Nuonuo nodded: "That's exactly what I mean. The worst thing is that this enemy has a group of subordinates."
If it was just one Jindan, they had bombs, modified hand arrows, and so many teammates, Tong Nuonuo was confident that he could kill the other party. Unfortunately, the other party had many more men than them, so things were not that simple and easy.
The Bat Monkey King had not yet transformed into a human form, and his vocal cords were not yet able to speak human language. However, he was able to express his anger only through facial expressions, movements, and roars.
The bat monkey king regarded this white spirit fruit forest as his back garden. Now they were a group of intruders, not only stealing his fruits, but also beating his men. This completely angered the bat monkey king. He roared angrily and commanded a large number of bat monkeys to outflank them. This was incredible. Originally, these black-tailed bat monkeys were powerful enough for cultivators in the body refining stage and the Qi gathering stage. The three foundation-building stage cultivators were completely suppressed by relying on their high cultivation. Now this group of black-tailed bat monkeys had a commander, echoing each other, and continuously attacking the three foundation-building stage cultivators.
The three foundation-building cultivators knew how powerful it was, and at this moment they didn't care about anything else, and directly took out a magic weapon. This magic weapon was usually not used until the critical moment, and it consumed too much true energy every time it was used. This time it was also used to prevent the cat beast from being unable to be held back by the outside world, and to deal with the cat beast in an emergency.
The magic weapon was a small flute, and the holder put it to his lips and blew it. With the monotonous sound of the flute, layers of ripple-like sound waves spread out, and the fan attacked the bat monkeys. It was like being hit by an invisible big hand. The bat monkeys screamed and flew out backwards.
Sweat soon oozed from the user's forehead. This piccolo consumed his energy too quickly. Just this one blow had consumed one third of his energy. He played it again, blasting away another group. He didn't dare to play it again. Instead, he threw the piccolo to another person, kneaded his spirit and rushed over, killing the temporarily dispersed black-tailed bat monkeys.
Another foundation-building stage cultivator quickly took over the piccolo and continued to play. With just two blows, he dispersed the bat monkey's massive attack, making the bat monkey king scream in anger.
Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief: "They have a trump card, it seems we don't need to join the battle." Chen Xiao then looked around. He was surprised to find that Shi Ming's men were not paying attention to the battle situation over there, but were picking the white spirit fruit even faster.
Chen Xiao saw that they looked tense and pale, and it was obvious that they were not without nervousness, but they still picked according to the previous arrangement and were not shaken at all by the danger not far behind them.
Chen Xiao immediately developed a deep respect for Shi Ming and his men. It would be a miracle if such a disciplined team didn't achieve extraordinary results.
However, the sky was not on their side. When the foundation-building cultivator holding the piccolo was about to pass the piccolo to the next person, the bat monkey king suddenly took the field and launched a surprise attack. The bat monkey king attacked head-on, with a powerful spiritual power from his front paws. He did not know any attacking skills, and he just fought hard.
The foundation-building cultivator who had just consumed a lot of his true energy quickly threw the Piccolo magic weapon to the third person. There was no time to set up a shield. The Bat Monkey King did not chase Piccolo. He roared and pounced on the person in front of him. The man only had time to cast a spell and took away a large piece of the Bat Monkey King's skin and flesh. He was hit by the full force of the Bat Monkey King and fell down with a scream. The Bat Monkey King bit the enemy in front of him and fell down. He kicked him in the stomach with a huge impact and bit him fiercely.
The bat monkeys who received the order from the bat monkey king rushed towards the third person in groups, not caring about their own lives. Blood splattered, limbs and flesh flew everywhere, and they swallowed the third person like a torrent.
The pale-faced first person playing the piccolo went blank for a moment before he whistled sharply, notifying the people behind him to retreat quickly. Then he gritted his teeth and rushed towards the man who was engulfed by the bat monkeys. The man bitten by the bat monkey king was already beyond saving, but at least he had to get back the piccolo.
After hearing the warning from here, the pickers gave up their targets and quickly retreated in the direction they came from.
Chen Xiao held the arrow tightly and asked Tong Nuonuo in a hurried tone: "What should we do?"
Tong Nuonuo gritted his teeth, lowered his body, raised the machine gun in his hand and pointed it at the Bat Monkey King: "Let's go help him. If you turn around and run away, you will die!
In this white spirit fruit forest, they definitely could not outrun this group of bat monkeys. It would be better to fight hard while all the foundation-building cultivators in Shi Ming's team were not killed. This would have a greater chance of survival than running away with their backs to the demon cultivators.
Chen Xiao nodded with a serious expression: "Okay, I understand." Then, he jumped from the tree to the tree trunk in front of him. His legs quickly alternated. The intensive and high-intensity training made him as agile as the black-tailed bat monkeys. He rushed to the defense line calmly and quickly. He held a few lightning charms in his hand, rubbed them quickly, and threw them into the bat monkey group with all his strength.
Without warning, a white light flashed across the sky, and lightning roared, quickly creating a large gap in the group of bat monkeys. The first man looked at him with gratitude, but the situation at the moment made him unable to even say thank you, and he immediately rushed into the group of bat monkeys to fight.
Chen Xiao didn't dare to do what he did. He just stood outside and threw a lightning charm from time to time. This lightning charm might not work on the bat monkey king, but it was very effective on the monkey group. Soon, they were surrounded by the bat monkey group in the center, and the foundation-building period who was struggling to hold on was rescued.
The man who was rescued was in a miserable state, with no intact skin or flesh. Some of the wounds were torn by claws, and some were bitten directly by bat monkeys. Chen Xiao took a glance and shuddered. It seemed that this group of bat monkeys were not vegetarians, but at least they were omnivores that ate meat.
The man was rescued and said to his companions with lingering fear: "Brother Li, the bee flute fell, sorry." He had no time to catch it and was surrounded by bat monkeys. The bat monkeys were impossible to kill, so he missed the opportunity.
Li Ge pursed his lips tightly and said solemnly: "I will find it back."
The three of them had a very good relationship. Because they had the best tacit understanding, they were assigned to use the bee flute. Because of their many contributions, they had the highest status among Shi Ming's subordinates. Unexpectedly, this operation that was expected to be a sure thing would be shattered by a demon cultivator who suddenly appeared. Not only did the operation fail, but one person also died.
The bat monkey king brutally killed the enemy in front of him, and turned around to see another one. Killing the cultivator head-on made him very arrogant. His chest and claws were stained with blood, and he bared his teeth and roared threateningly. There was still blood and flesh between his teeth, which could really be called a bloody mouth. As he roared, the bat monkeys that were a little confused by the lightning talisman quickly gathered together.
Chen Xiao pointed the arrow in his hand at the group of bat monkeys opposite with a tense expression. As long as the opponent dared to get close to the shooting range, he would pull the switch without hesitation.
Both sides were furious at this time, and no one knew that they could not escape unscathed. The bat monkey king screamed again, and the large group of bat monkeys in front of them split into three waves, one wave climbed to the higher treetops, and the other wave came down and approached from the ground.
Li Ge cursed and said angrily: "This demon cultivator is really cunning, besieging me from three sides and bullying me because I have no one!"
Bat monkeys have bat wings, so they can glide down from a great height to attack from the air. In addition, they were standing on a tree trunk, so they had little room to move and dodge. The bat monkey group also split some of their wings from the tree where they were. The three of them suddenly became prisoners who could not escape even if they had wings.
The bat monkey king grinned with a blood-red mouth and made a piercing laugh. Chen Xiao had a stern expression and was not worried about the situation in front of him. He waited until the bat monkeys approached and instantly flipped the switch. The hand arrow mechanism slid, and thousands of hair-like spiritual needles shot towards the faces, eyes, and bodies of the bat monkeys.
Tong Nuonuo enhanced the power of the mechanical hand arrow, and when it hit the bat monkey, a blood hole the size of a needle hole appeared. It might not be a big deal if such a blood hole was blasted once, but being pierced by thousands of needles in the front was unbearable even for a high-level monk, let alone the bat monkey in front of him.
The oncoming bat monkeys screamed and fell down like dumplings. The bat monkey king was furious. He jumped and screamed, roaring in a tone that several people could not understand. Soon, the bat monkeys in the air and underground circled behind Chen Xiao and approached from another direction.
The Bat Monkey King was quite smart. He immediately saw through the blind spot of Chen Xiao's mechanical arrow. Chen Xiao could only shoot in front of him, but he could not take care of the back and left and right.
One of the two Foundation Establishment Stage warriors was seriously injured, and the other consumed a lot of energy. Each of them protected themselves and tried their best to deal with the situation.
Faced with this situation, the bat monkey king was confident and proud. He couldn't suppress his joy and jumped between several trees.
Tong Nuonuo's eyes were calm, and he had waited for a long time until the moment when the Bat Monkey King relaxed. The machine gun in his hand opened silently, and a ball of light flashing in three colors was like a cannonball, which flew out of the gun at lightning speed and hit the Bat Monkey King's chest!
