Boom——
The fat sound cultivator holding the drum immediately struck the weapon in his hand hard. Along with the sound of the drum, there was also an invisible force, which instantly pushed the surrounding wolves back several meters. The wolves that were blocked by the protective shield were shocked and flew out, disappearing into the night.
Next, the sounds of flutes, suonas, drums, pipa, and erhu rang out one after another. The music practitioners kept moving towards the giant tree. The wolves followed them relentlessly and seized every opportunity to attack.
The one walking at the back was Yin Xiu, who was holding a pipa. Later, the wolves' attack was too intense, and he was so anxious that he messed up his fingering. Finally, he raised the pipa in his hand and smashed it hard on the head of the wolf that pounced on him.
After all, the magic weapon in Yin Xiu's hand was harder than the wolf's head, and the wolf that was hit fell to the ground instantly.
Pipa Yinxiu was stunned for a moment. He probably didn't expect such an effect. Soon another wolf pounced on him. He used the same trick again and the effect was just as good.
The short distance, however, seemed to take forever due to the wolves' obstruction. Yin Xiu, who was holding the pipa at the back, was becoming increasingly skilled. He struck each wolf with a blow, then a pair of wolves, then three...
"ah--"
A shrill cry of pain resounded throughout the forest, and the sound cultivators' forward footsteps suddenly stopped because the cry came from behind them.
Yin Changdi looked back and her eyes widened instantly. She saw that the ankle of her junior brother who was walking at the end was being tightly bitten by a wolf.
Yin Changdi's eyes flashed with a fierce look. She shifted her fingers on the flute's sound holes, then aimed at the back of the team and began to play.
An even sharper and shrill flute sound rang out, instantly piercing the eardrums of all creatures present. The wolf that bit Pipa Yinxiu instantly loosened its mouth, then took a few steps back, with a look of pain in its eyes.
"Master... Senior Sister, hurry, stop it!"
The devilish sound pierced the ears, and not only the wolf suffered, but also the fellow disciples around Yin Changdi. They all covered their ears at the same time, with the same look of pain.
Yin Changdi immediately shut up when she saw her companions like this. She hadn't mastered this extremely destructive piece of music completely, and when she practiced at the sect, she would practice in a special soundproof room.
Yin Changdi stopped talking, and suddenly he felt numb inside, his throat felt hot, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
This song really doesn't distinguish between friend and foe, it hurts everyone, it's so cruel!
Before Yin Changdi participated in the sect competition, her master had solemnly instructed her to use it with caution unless it was a matter of life and death. This was also her first time playing the flute outside, and she had no idea it could be so destructive!
As soon as the music stopped, everyone calmed down. The other three who were not injured immediately supported their senior sister and the junior brother who had an injured ankle.
The wolves gradually calmed down and began to slowly surround the sound cultivators. The smell of blood in the air stimulated the wolves and made them even more agitated. More saliva flowed from their mouths.
Yin Changdi turned around to look for the giant tree and found that they were already two meters away from the tree. There were many wolves blocking the way between them and the tree.
Yin Changdi led everyone to move slowly towards the giant tree. This time, the wolves seemed to have received some kind of order and refused to retreat even a bit. The surrounding wolves were pressing on step by step, and they had nowhere to retreat.
"Let's... break the jade token!" Yin Changdi closed his eyes in pain and said with difficulty, "Even if we get through, someone among us will definitely be seriously injured. Besides, we can't climb up the giant tree."
The giant tree is very tall and straight. Looking from below, it looks like a giant umbrella reaching into the sky.
The umbrella has a long, straight, and smooth handle. The same thing happened with this giant tree; it's about 800 meters tall, but only the first 200 meters below the top have branches, while the next 600 meters are bare.
The music cultivators present knew that they could only fly up to 400 meters at most. Senior Sister Yin Changdi, who had reached the Nascent Soul stage, could only carry one person up to 600 meters at most. But who could they carry? And with so few people, they couldn't go far.
To reach such a height, only cultivators with flying magic weapons and powerful sword cultivators can fly up!
"I really can't accept this. It's only my first day here."
The little sister holding the suona had red eyes, and it was obvious that she was trying hard not to cry out loud.
"It's all my fault that I've ruined everyone." The fat guy holding the drum started crying.
"Junior brother, this is not your fault. It's also my fault that I didn't lead everyone well." Yin Changdi patted his shoulder.
Hearing what the senior sister said, the faces of the people around began to get anxious, but before they could say anything, other voices were heard.
"What a touching scene! Even the wolves around here stopped and watched."
Several music practitioners were startled. When they heard the sound, they looked up and saw a female practitioner flying above on a sword. She was holding an unknown animal in her hand. Her long black hair was blown by the evening breeze. She was looking down at them leisurely.
