The spirit boat landed, and Bai Qingqing and her group slowly disembarked.
Wen Meier then stepped forward, cupped her hands and said, "Wen Meier from Sulan City greets Miss Bai and fellow Daoists."
"Lord Wen, you're too kind." Bai Qingqing smiled. "We were just here on a spring outing and have bothered you."
"Miss Bai, please." Wen Mei'er stepped aside and said.
A large group of more than two hundred people.
Logically, with over two hundred people entering the city, Sulan should have become quite lively.
But the streets were deserted.
In broad daylight.
There wasn't even a small vendor.
Occasionally, a passerby would appear, head bowed, hurrying along as if something was chasing them from behind.
Very unusual.
Bai Qingqing frowned and couldn't help but say, "Lord Wen, this city feels a bit empty."
Wen Meier suddenly knelt down with a thud: "Please, Miss Bai, save the people of my Sulan City."
"Lord Wen, please get up." Bai Qingqing supported Wen Meier's arm and asked, "What exactly happened?"
“A large number of demonic beasts have launched a surprise attack on my Sulan City, harming the people and damaging farmland.” Wen Mei’er’s eyes were filled with hatred: “Thousands of people have already been killed or injured.”
If it weren't for the protective array left by her ancestors, Sulan City would probably be gone long ago.
But that protective array won't last long either.
They can only hold on for three to five days at most.
Once the protective array is broken, the humans of Sulan City will become food for those demonic beasts.
She can only place all her hopes on Bai Qingqing now.
"What kind of monster is it?" Bai Qingqing asked, frowning.
Monsters and spirit beasts are different.
Spirit beasts are humankind's companions, while demon beasts and humans are adversaries.
The two centipedes that attacked Tianyuan City before were demonic beasts. They couldn't transform into human form, but they were very powerful.
“It’s a cicada demon,” Wen Mei’er said. “It’s at the Spirit Condensation Realm.”
“Lord Wen, with your cultivation level, you should be able to easily defeat a hundred cicada demons at the Spirit Condensation Realm, right?” Niu Shanming interjected.
Cicada demons are gregarious and move in groups.
Although they live in groups, according to statistics from ancient times to the present, each group is at most no more than one hundred.
Ninety-six was once the upper limit.
Wen Meier is currently at the peak of the eighth level of the Core Formation Realm, so dealing with a group of small demonic beasts in the Spirit Condensation Realm should be no problem for her.
“More than a hundred.” Wen Mei’er’s face was a little pale. “There are many, many more. The initial estimate is over ten thousand.”
Most importantly, it's not just for those in the Spirit Condensation Realm.
There are even more impressive ones.
With her current level of skill, it's practically free.
"What? Tens of thousands..." Niu Shanming's voice rose a notch.
He is now in the realm of immortals.
Let alone tens of thousands of cicada demons at the Spirit Condensation Realm, he could wipe them out with a wave of his hand, even if there were hundreds of thousands.
But I've never seen it before.
In all his years of life, he had never seen tens of thousands of monsters at once.
Even if I had previously obtained a trial realm, it only contained a few hundred low-level demonic beasts.
"Moreover, there's the Cicada King guarding the rear; it's at the Creation Realm level," Wen Meier said, pursing her lips.
“Those who have reached the Creation Realm are nothing to fear.” Niu Shanming waved his hand.
Wen Mei'er hurriedly said, "There's more than one Cicada King. I checked with the Cloud Mirror, and there are probably over a hundred Cicada Kings."
At this point, Wen Meier swallowed hard, a hint of fear in her eyes: "Moreover, I discovered that there are even more powerful demonic beasts guarding the Cicada King."
As for whether the even more powerful monsters have even more powerful backers, she couldn't find out.
“Wukong…” Bai Qingqing called out.
"Don't worry, Master, I'll go and beat those bastards to death to avenge the dead of Sulan City," Wukong said immediately.
It is now at the peak of the ninth level of the half-step divine realm.
Moreover, it has various magical treasures to enhance its power, and the Somersault Cloud is at its side. A mere cicada demon can be dealt with in just a few blows.
"Catch a few alive first," Bai Qingqing instructed.
This is what Xiaohao just suggested in his mind.
"Huh?" Wukong was taken aback, but quickly nodded and replied, "Okay, I'll go now."
After saying that, he looked at Wen Meier: "Lord Wen, the location."
“The western suburbs,” Wen Mei’er quickly replied.
Although she didn't know why Bai Qingqing wanted the Great Sage to capture him alive, she knew that since she had taken action, she would definitely protect the people of Sulan City.
Sulan City is finally saved.
Wukong returned very quickly.
Its main body is a small ball, a little over a foot tall, but its claws hold several cicada demons that are about half a foot long.
It was twisting and turning wildly.
"Master, we've caught them." Wukong waved the several cicada demons that were imprisoned.
Bai Qingqing looked up and glanced at it.
It is indeed a cicada.
However, to be precise, it should be a cicada pupa.
This stuff was quite expensive back on Earth, and it was also quite... delicious when deep-fried.
To be honest, she doesn't think she's ever seen this thing sold anywhere in the world.
“Host, this is not a demonic beast, it’s a low-level magical beast,” Xiao Hao said.
As expected, my judgment was correct.
There are demons here raising a large number of low-level magical beasts.
"I've always wanted to ask, what's the difference between magical beasts and monsters?" Bai Qingqing asked.
The difference between a spirit beast and a demon beast is whether or not it possesses a spiritual source.
The source of spiritual energy determines whether one can take human form.
But Warcraft...
She had only heard about it occasionally; there was no record of it in ancient books.
"There's not much difference between magical beasts and monsters. If you have to point out a difference, magical beasts are from elsewhere," Xiao Hao explained.
"From outside?" Bai Qingqing asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Fortunately, Xiao Hao doesn't have a physical form right now, otherwise he would be covering his mouth in annoyance: "The host does not have the right to investigate at the moment."
It cannot be explained in just one or two sentences.
Trying to explain it clearly would reveal too much information.
Revealing too much information could easily arouse the host's suspicion, and if that leads to further associations, it could cause turmoil throughout the three thousand worlds...
It dares not take on this responsibility.
"Alright." Bai Qingqing sighed helplessly and asked, "Has this thing developed sentience?"
"No." Xiao Hao shook his head: "Low-level magical beasts are no different from ordinary livestock, but magical beasts have a special physique, are extremely ferocious, and love to eat people."
"Is it poisonous?" Bai Qingqing asked again.
"Huh?" Xiao Hao was stunned for a moment before saying, "No."
Why is your question so abrupt, Master?
"How is the nutrition? How is the meat quality?" Bai Qingqing asked again.
Xiao Hao understood immediately: "In every aspect, it is a step above the cicada pupa on Blue Star."
"That makes things easier." Bai Qingqing smiled and beckoned Tian Susu over: "Susu, this is a cicada demon, a magical beast, and also a delicacy."
"Delicious food?" Tian Susu's eyes lit up.
"Mm." Bai Qingqing nodded: "Deep-fried, dry-fried, spicy, stir-fried..."
“I understand.” Tian Susu nodded repeatedly.
"Then I'll go catch some more." Wukong's eyes lit up as well.
"Me too, me too! I want to catch a thousand of them!" The Bull Demon King was practically drooling.
“You don’t need to go.” Bai Qingqing looked at the fifty students in the children’s class and said, “Let the children give it a try.”
They're all low-level monsters, perfect for the kids to practice on.
Let's test the effectiveness of our talent cultivation.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Taozi and the others were all eager and excited.
