Chu Hongluan's expression was complicated.
This is... Warcraft.
She couldn't possibly be mistaken, because she had seen far too many things in the desolate wilderness.
Can this moonlight even be used to control magical beasts?
Just then, the second guest appeared at the courtyard gate.
The stench invaded the nasal cavity, carrying with it the oppressive aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Within the circle of light, the cultivators of the Jade Maiden Sect and the Joyful Union Sect were startled, shrinking into a ball and trembling.
Chu Hongluan's expression darkened slightly. Clearly, the danger they encountered on the blue fork in the road was probably this group of demonic beasts.
She turned her gaze back to the entrance of the courtyard.
In the darkness, the first thing that caught everyone's eye was a pair of sharp, pointed horns, with a small skull stuck on the right horn, which looked like the cub of some kind of monster.
Then, they saw the monster's eyes.
A pair of blood-red eyes, filled with savagery, rage, and murderous intent.
The air seemed to stand still.
Before I could even get a clear look at it, it pounced on me in the next instant, turning into a blur.
Get out of the way!!!
As the only team not restricted by spiritual power, Penglai immediately formed an array to bind it!
Le Zheng Chang'an leaped into the air and struck him squarely in the chest with a thunderous palm strike, sending him flying several meters away!
Logically speaking, a full-force attack from a Nascent Soul cultivator, even through a hard armor, should be enough to shatter their internal organs!
But in fact, the monster simply breathed heavily twice on the spot, then staggered to its feet again and charged at Le Zheng Chang'an with even greater ferocity!
"Shoot it in the head; there's a magic core inside."
Chu Hongluan's cool voice stood out clearly amidst the chaos of war.
Lezheng Chang'an reacted swiftly, seizing the opportunity, using his finger as a blade, transforming his qi into form, and plunged it into the skull, flicking it gently—
A dark lens fell out.
"Crush it."
Without any hesitation, Yue Zheng Chang'an crushed the demon core with a single stomp.
The monster lost control of its magic core, and its fierce attack came to an abrupt halt. After only a moment's pause, it collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Jinghong arrived at Yuehua's stall with a bag full of Sun Crystals.
"What were we buying again?"
Liu Jinghong leaned back slightly and turned her head to ask Chu Hongluan.
"Three Ice Archers".
"Did you hear me? Three Frost Archers!"
Liu Jinghong dumped a bag of sun crystals onto the table with a clatter, displaying extreme arrogance.
"Okay, here are your three Frost Archers, please keep them safe."
When the plants are given out, they are encased in bubbles of spiritual energy and float in the air. If they are brought to the ground, they will take root and activate. They will prioritize attacking magical beasts, and if there are no magical beasts, they will attack humans.
Following Chu Hongluan's instructions, Liu Jinghong placed two Ice Archer plants in the north and south corners of the courtyard, directly facing the main gate. He also placed another plant in front of the light circle where the Jade Maiden Sect and Hehuan Sect cultivators were located, also facing the courtyard entrance.
In this way, any magical beast that enters will have its speed reduced first. It can be considered that she did a good deed, giving other sects more time to prepare, living up to the name of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion.
Liu Jinghong's actions awakened everyone, and they hurriedly gathered their respective teams' Sun Essence Stones to exchange for plants at Guan Yuehua's stall.
However, their understanding of plants was limited, so the things they exchanged for were all sorts of strange things.
Penglai, being unrestricted by spiritual power, had a significant advantage over others, so they purchased some Peashooters to protect the Jade Maiden Sect and the Joyful Union Sect.
Everyone assumed that the next monsters would enter through the main gate of the courtyard, just like the previous two.
However, Chu Hongluan heard the background music in her ears change.
A line of large text popped into my head as if by conditioned reflex: A massive wave of zombies is coming!!!
"alert."
Chu Hongluan's voice wasn't loud, but it was strangely clear and reached everyone's ears.
"roar--"
A roar shook the heavens and the earth.
In the next instant, the entire wall surrounding the courtyard gate collapsed with a deafening roar, and an overwhelming horde of demonic beasts surged in!
A three-pronged approach involving land, sea, and air?!
The three Ice Archers are all pointing directly at the door; what kind of results are they going to achieve now?!
Chu Hongluan dared not hold back any longer and tossed out an iced mushroom.
A crisp, ice-crack-like explosion rang out, freezing all the magical beasts in place!
Taking advantage of this brief moment of respite, everyone hurriedly moved closer to Chu Hongluan, who had the most abundant resources.
In this situation, it's obvious that going it alone is tantamount to suicide. Who cares about personal grudges anymore?! Survival is the most important thing!
The effects of the chilled mushroom wore off, and the monsters became active again.
Chu Hongluan waved her hand, took out all the algae from her spatial bracelet, threw them into the stream that ran through the courtyard, and then released all the offensive plants at once, forming a defensive circle that was neither too big nor too small.
In the short span of time she was setting up her plan, two or three flying magical beasts flapped their huge wings and took the lead, rapidly approaching!
The palms of the Penglai people hanging down were already gathering spiritual energy, ready to bind him at any moment.
However, in the blink of an eye...
The cactus, which had just taken root in the soil, had already shot up a tall height. With a few quick spiks, it pierced through the wings of the magical beasts and burned and corroded the surrounding area from the pierced points! In an instant, it destroyed their wings, leaving only their skeletons!
The flying monster crashed down, landing near the mushroom grove in front. The mushrooms blinked their beady eyes and simultaneously sprayed purple bubbles, the damage of which was astonishing. The monster was large, and it suffered attacks from several paths of mushrooms. Before it could even get up, it was corroded by the bubbles until nothing was left.
