Chapter 49 A Battle with All Our Might
Forced into team battle, Wujin, as expected of someone who had once been a rebel leader, immediately assessed the situation.
"Master, we can no longer remain on the defensive; we must take the initiative. Otherwise, these beasts will only increase in number and eventually wear us down in their encirclement!"
As he spoke, he roared and charged toward the weakest point in the encirclement on the left.
At the same time, he didn't forget to yell at Qilu and Wuyi, "Protect your master and follow behind me!"
His actions were clearly paving the way for Xi'er.
Although people have relatively low trust in him, Xi'er does hold half of his Soul Bead.
Before he has absolute certainty that he can break the contract, if his master is injured, he will suffer a backlash; if his master dies, he will not survive either.
Without hesitation, Qilu and Wuyi simultaneously activated their invincible states, protecting Xi'er as they rushed out.
The spirit lamp was also within their protection zone, but Xiao Bao left the protection circle and followed closely behind Wu Jin, unleashing a continuous stream of metal spikes at the beasts blocking his way.
Xiao Bao is no longer the same as before; his metal spikes are so powerful that even monsters below the seventh rank cannot withstand them.
But today was strange; although these beasts were hit by his metal spikes, they were only injured, not fatally.
This outcome was completely unexpected for Xiao Bao, and everyone was momentarily stunned.
But then Wujin roared, "They are not native monsters, but strange beasts that have never appeared before!"
These words struck like a thunderbolt, waking everyone up but also leaving them bewildered.
For those purple demons who had followed the high priest on expeditions to other worlds, the term "mythical beast" was not unfamiliar.
After all, different realms give birth to different kinds of beasts. Qilu and Wuyi had never been to the other world and had only heard of the strange beasts, but had never seen them.
Wujin had never been to the other world, but he had collected a lot of information about the high priest's conquests in the other world.
The reason he could tell that the beasts attacking them were exotic creatures was because he was knowledgeable and experienced.
He wouldn't say he'd seen 100% of the native monsters, but he'd seen at least 90%.
But none of the monsters in front of him were of the kind he was familiar with!
Most importantly, their strength should all be above the eighth rank; otherwise, with Xiao Bao's destructive power, it would be impossible for him not to kill one.
Of everyone present, Xiao Bao was the strongest fighter, while Fu Sheng Ruo Meng was skilled in illusion and poison.
The three purple demons possess plant-based forms, relying entirely on their invincible external abilities; their actual combat strength is relatively weak.
The Spirit Lamp is a jellyfish from the deep sea. Its home ground is the ocean depths. When it fights land beasts of the same level on land, it can only be suppressed.
After determining that these monsters came from another world, everyone's expression turned grave.
It wasn't because these monsters were tough and resilient, but because their very existence was a major problem.
This means that a spatial rift has appeared on the Dust Continent, and it is a rift that connects to another world.
If these powerful monsters can be continuously transported through spatial rifts, then the Dust Continent will soon become a playground for these strange beasts.
Xi'er immediately understood this. She knew that the most important thing right now was to escape the encirclement of the alien beasts alive and get the message out as soon as possible.
On this vast ice plain, hundreds of strange beasts gallop about, but not a single native monster can be seen.
This means that they have been here for quite some time.
"Floating Life, Like a Dream, activate the strongest illusion and bring out the stock of highly poisonous scale powder!" Xi'er decisively ordered.
After Fusheng and Ruomeng break through to the tenth level, their main bodies gain a deadly skill: they can silently sprinkle highly poisonous scales around their enemies by flapping their wings.
Once this highly toxic powder is released, it quickly dissolves into the air, turning into a colorless and odorless gas.
Enemies below level nine will be quickly poisoned and lose at least half of their combat power after inhaling it.
The beasts in front of them are probably only at the eighth or ninth rank. Their combat power will be greatly reduced after being absorbed, which will give them a chance to break out of the encirclement.
Because the scale powder is too toxic and could easily harm nearby birds, animals, and plants, Xi'er usually forbids them from using it.
But now that she was faced with a matter of life and death, Xi'er couldn't afford to be sentimental.
With their young master's approval, Fusheng and Ruomeng were immediately invigorated. During their previous arduous escape, they had only dared to use ordinary paralyzing toxins.
Now they can finally show off their skills.
Wujin was already covered in wounds. Upon hearing Xi'er's words, he immediately retreated to the side of the group to avoid being accidentally injured by the two Illusory Colored Sacred Butterflies.
The beasts were attacking frantically, slowly shrinking their encirclement. When they saw them all retreating and surrounding a human girl, they became extremely excited.
After arriving on this continent, this group of people were the most delicious food they had ever encountered. The sheer spiritual energy emanating from them was enough to drive them mad.
As they landed, the group of beasts was about to attack a nearby demon clan military settlement.
However, after encountering Xi'er and the others, the beasts changed their minds and decided to eat them first before attacking the Ximo Clan's military reclamation group.
The commotion here was big enough that the commander of the military reclamation regiment, who was about to be besieged, was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
This place is in a remote location. To contact the higher-ups of the Great Abyss Sea, one must go through the teleportation array set up in the center of the military reclamation regiment.
However, this teleportation array can only transport a maximum of 100 people at a time, and it can only be activated once a day. After a 24-hour cooldown period, it can be activated again.
Their military reclamation regiment has more than 5,000 people, but activating the teleportation array can only send away 100 people. The rest will probably not escape the siege of the alien beasts.
Although the commander of the military reclamation regiment was a purple demon, there were only ten blue demons among the other high-ranking members of the regiment, and the rest were yellow and green demons.
All their fighting force combined could at most withstand the attack of thirty to fifty strange beasts, but according to the news sent back by the scouts at the front, their total number exceeded three hundred.
Helpless, the head of the military reclamation regiment could only select the youngest hundred people, activate the teleportation array, and send them back to the Great Abyss Sea.
The remaining low-level yellow and green demons should be dispersed as much as possible.
It was called an evacuation, but there was no time for an organized evacuation. They were simply allowed to scatter and flee, and whoever was lucky would survive.
As for himself, he decided to lead ten Blue Demons in a final battle against the alien beasts.
The head of the military reclamation regiment secretly prayed that the Dayuanhai side would send an elite law enforcement team soon to completely encircle and eliminate these strange beasts that had appeared out of nowhere.
Fusheng and Ruomeng simultaneously transformed into their true forms and flew towards the area where the strange beasts were most concentrated.
Wherever they went, highly poisonous scales were evenly scattered.
Fortunately, they hadn't been allowed to use this highly toxic scale powder by Xi'er before, so they stored up the little bit of scale powder that was produced each month.
Today it came in very handy, spraying it all out at once.
The highly toxic scales quickly dissolved into the air, and the running beast, panting heavily, inhaled the poisonous air into its lungs.
At the same time, Fusheng and Ruomeng activated the strongest illusion, which consumed 99% of their spiritual power.
After the illusion was activated, their two enormous bodies rapidly shrank into palm-sized colorful butterflies, which flew back into the hollowed-out silver sphere on Xi'er's wrist.
For the time being, neither of them had the strength to fight, and they could only temporarily enter a state of dormancy.
The beasts, already weakened by the deadly poison, naturally had their resistance to the illusion reduced as well.
The moment he saw them begin to fight each other, Xiao Bao launched an even denser barrage of metal spikes.
This time, the beasts were not only injured, but also died.
Taking this opportunity, Xi'er formed hand seals and unleashed the Holy Witch Clan's strongest attack spell—Annihilation of the Heavens.
This spell was so powerful that it was against the natural order, so Xi'er had never used it once since she learned it.
She never even considered using it when fighting the Endless Lords, since the rebels she dealt with back then were all members of the Fine Demon race.
Since the High Priest has high hopes for her and will succeed him in his position, then the people of the Demon Clan are her people, so she certainly cannot use such magic on her own people.
Seeing the horde of strange beasts surrounding him, whose combat power had been reduced, Lingdeng immediately used his soul attack technique.
Her spell isn't very powerful when used in group attacks, but it's impossible to target just one or a few enemies right now. She can only weaken them further when their fighting strength is already low.
The three purple demons also put away their invincible cheat codes and began to go all out, revealing their true forms.
The purple seaweed instantly transformed into thin purple ribbons, shooting towards the beasts' most vulnerable eyeballs.
The result of everyone attacking at the same time was that more than half of the more than 300 alien beasts with strength equivalent to the eighth and ninth tiers were killed or wounded in one fell swoop.
When the commander of the nearby military reclamation regiment led ten Blue Demons to the scene, intending to take the initiative to confront the horde of alien beasts and buy time for the other low-level demons to escape, this is what they saw.
This military reclamation regiment commander was once one of the followers of the Endless Lord, so he certainly knew that the former chieftain had become a contracted servant of the Goddess Bai Xi.
Seeing Wujin protecting Xi'er and fighting the beast horde with all his might, he was instantly filled with excitement.
