Chapter 52 Blocking the Exit and Exterminating the Beasts
It took Xi'er a full six hours to finally fully comprehend this spacetime rift repair seal.
She decided to try out the effects of this hand seal.
When she said she was going to Black Wind Canyon, the commander of the 63rd Army Reclamation Regiment was almost scared to death.
How noble is Goddess Bai Xi's status? If anything were to happen to her within her jurisdiction, the leader felt he would truly become a sinner against the entire nation, deserving of a hundred deaths!
But Xi'er is the kind of person who does what she thinks of, ever since she was little. Once she decides to go, no one can stop her.
The commander of the 63rd Regiment had no choice but to follow him to the death.
Xiao Bao didn't stop her. They would just follow what Xi'er wanted to do. After all, Xi'er could hide in that hollow silver sphere space if necessary.
This secret is known only to the closest people. Sister Fan once said that the fewer people who know this secret, the safer it is, so Xiao Bao didn't even tell the spirit lamp.
The three purple demon servants were naturally unaware of this secret, but as their master's servants, they could only protect him with their lives when their master was going to a dangerous place and their attempts to dissuade him failed.
Fortunately, thanks to the special healing medicine developed by Bo Yiyan, Qilu and Wuyi's injuries have recovered by 80%.
Even the most severely injured Wujin has recovered about 50%.
Xiao Bao and Ling Deng were almost unharmed, and together with the dozen or so Blue Demon elites that Commander 63 had brought with him, they set off towards Black Wind Canyon under the guidance of the guide.
To save time, Xi'er piloted the top-grade spirit boat, which was covered with concealment talismans to prevent it from being discovered by any stray beasts.
Upon reaching the top of Black Wind Canyon, the spirit boat became noticeably out of control.
Xi'er put away the spirit boat, and the group quietly hid behind several large rocks.
At this moment, a howling wind came from the entrance of Black Wind Canyon, and a visible storm was swirling sand and stones from the canyon towards the entrance.
Strangely enough, the storm subsided completely at the entrance.
So much so that you can't feel a single breeze outside Black Wind Canyon; the entrance and the outside are like two completely different worlds.
As instructed by the guide, they could only wait patiently, because the strange beasts would only emerge when the storm subsided and was about to completely die down.
The Fairy Clan is not good at fighting, but they are masters at concealing their presence. The leader, along with his Blue Demon subordinates, cast a concealment spell to protect everyone.
Everyone waited patiently for more than an hour, and just when Xi'er was about to lose patience, the storm in the canyon finally began to subside.
About 15 minutes later, the storm gradually subsided, and what came into view was a narrow, irregularly shaped spatial rift.
The reason why it can be identified as a spatial rift at a glance is because it appears in mid-air and is grayish-white in color, which is completely different from the colorless and transparent air around it.
This spatial rift is about 100 meters long and between half a meter and 20 meters wide.
Under the intense gaze of the crowd, the first strange beast crawled out.
It has a lizard-like body, is huge, about five or six meters long, and is covered with hard black scales.
Its back is covered with sharp bone spurs, and its neck is topped with a head that looks like a giant insect, covered with dense compound eyes and a pair of huge pincer-like mouthparts.
This thing is so disgusting and terrifying that it gives me goosebumps.
The aura emanating from it was not strong. According to the guide, the beasts that had just crawled out were all very weak, but after leaving Black Wind Canyon, they only needed to rest for about half an hour to recover to their peak condition.
Knowing this characteristic of theirs, Xi'er decided to strike first.
She took out a beast-catching net that she always carried with her. It was given to her by an elder of the Holy Witch Clan who was skilled in weapon crafting back in the Misty Heaven Realm.
After being infused with magical power, the beast-catching net grew larger, trapping the strange beast with overwhelming force.
The beast sensed it was trapped and was about to struggle desperately when it was pierced into a hedgehog by the dense barbs that Xiao Bao had unleashed.
This beast must be of a high level. Even though it was riddled with thorns and its body was oozing thick, foul-smelling green blood, it was still struggling desperately.
The advantage is that this animal-catching net has its own soundproof and aura-isolating magic array, so it will not disturb other strange beasts.
Otherwise, if we alert the enemy, we don't know if other strange beasts will follow and crawl out.
Xi'er chanted an incantation, dragging the beast away from where it had just crawled out. The beast-catching net spontaneously stored the beast's blood in a small gourd.
Beast blood is an essential ingredient for drawing talismans and refining weapons, so this beast-catching net also has this function.
All the elite members of the accompanying demon race were seeing such a beast-catching net for the first time, and they were all green with envy.
Seeing this, Xi'er made a plan. She decided that after returning, she would ask Senior Qi Wuming to refine more of these beast-catching nets, based on the example provided.
After all, for a long time to come, the members of the military reclamation corps will likely be dealing with these strange beasts.
With their first battle a resounding victory, everyone couldn't help but get excited as they saw how easily Xi'er had dealt with the beast.
However, less than five minutes after the first beast crawled out, there was movement again in the rift.
This time, three similar beasts crawled out at the same time. They seemed to be smaller than the first one, but the aura emanating from them was much stronger.
Now, Xi'er's animal-catching net can only catch one of them at most.
Wujin decisively commanded his two purple demon servants, Qilu and Wuyi, to deal with the second one, while the 63rd Regiment Commander transformed into his true form and entangled the third one.
This time, Xiao Bao didn't hold back and used his strongest attack to kill the one that Xi'er had caught in the net.
Lingdeng then used her soul attack technique on the second one. With the help of her soul attack technique, this beast, which was originally still in a weakened state, was killed by Qilu and Wuyi.
