Chapter 94 Play with them
After a night passed, the evil aura lingering on the top of the mountain disappeared as the night went by.
The monsters who were more sensitive to this started to rush towards the mountain quickly early in the morning. There were still many good things in their nests, and their territory could not be occupied by other monsters. So the roar of their running woke up Zhong Ling'er, who had been drawing talismans all night and fell asleep due to exhaustion.
"I'm back, I'm back. Brothers, work harder. Don't let any monster go. Kill them all!"
Bai Luochen looked at the ferocious-looking little apprentice sister and patted her head, "Be good, go to sleep!"
He then set up a small soundproofing array. Zhong Ling'er yawned and fell asleep again.
While the Taiqiong Sect was gearing up to kill the monsters, other sects were facing another challenge. They had fought monsters all night last night and had no time to rest yet, only to encounter the same experience as yesterday.
But what else they could do? They had to cheer up, collect the usable formation plates, and set them up again. Then several people hid in the protection formation, resting while waiting for the beast tide to pass.
The teams that stayed at the foot of the mountain were fine. They just had to watch the monsters run up the mountain. At most they had to follow behind and eat a mouthful of dust. However, the sects that had already reached the halfway point of the mountain were in a miserable situation.
When the monster tide comes down the mountain, they can run down the mountain, but when the monster tide comes up the mountain, what should they do? Go up the mountain?
Leng Qingyu made a prompt decision, "Go up the mountain. If it doesn't work, we can go down from the top. We can't have any fewer people."
So the three people from the Lingjian Sect immediately rushed up the mountain, not caring about any spiritual plants, as long as they didn't collide with the beast tide.
Ji Bochao took out the Magic Flower again, and while holding up the spiritual energy shield, he let the demonic energy disperse and drove away the approaching monsters.
This method was very useful when the beasts were going down the mountain, because the way down the mountain was getting wider and wider, and the monsters could easily bypass them. But the way up the mountain was getting narrower and narrower. Although the monsters did not want to get close to the evil spirit, they were squeezed by their companions and kept getting closer to them. In the end, the five people were trapped in the beast tide.
The five of them could only stand back to back and resist the impact of the beast tide together. Although they had two Nascent Soul cultivators, they were still not enough in the face of the beast tide. After nearly an hour of the beast tide, the five people became three. Except for Ji Bochao and Xiao Rui, only Wen Jinyan stayed.
But the condition of these three people was also very bad, with scars and blood all over their bodies. There was also a clear footprint on Ji Bochao's face. It was unknown whether he was kicked by some monster.
In sharp contrast to them were the people from Taiqiong Sect. None of the monsters that rushed up the mountain to return home succeeded. All of them were trapped in the formation that Zhong Ling'er had improved. They could only roar in anger but were powerless and could only sigh in despair as they looked back home.
Bai Luochen and his three companions started the monster-killing mode. Those that were easy to kill were killed with a few sword strikes, while those that were difficult to kill were attached with a talisman and then killed with a single sword strike. In short, it was a one-sided massacre, a massacre of four people against four hundred monsters.
When Zhong Ling'er woke up again, the massacre had stopped. After a simple cleanup, the five of them set out on their journey again.
The road ahead is more like sightseeing than a quest, because all the monsters have been killed and there is almost no danger. As for the difficulty of moving in the gravity field and the hot feet in the lava land, they can only be said to be a little spice of the journey and are not difficult at all.
The most time-consuming thing for them was digging spiritual plants. You heard it right, digging. Because Zhong Ling'er had received instructions from the Medicine King Pagoda that some spiritual plants could be taken back and planted as a whole, so she not only wanted flowers, leaves, and fruits, but also the whole plant.
While other teams were still fighting hard with the monsters, Zhong Ling'er and her team dug three feet into the ground wherever they passed, leaving no trace of the earth. As they delayed like this, they reached the top of the mountain early on the third day.
On the wide platform, a white light door stood there quietly. Obviously, this was the exit of the secret realm. As long as they stepped through this door, their ranking would be determined.
Seeing that there were no footprints on the ground in front of the door, Zhong Ling'er grabbed the excited Qi Haoran.
"Fifth Brother, don't be anxious. Judging from the situation, we should be the first to arrive here. Since the others haven't come yet, why don't we wait for them?"
"Wait for them? Why should we wait for them? Aren't we going to compete for first place?"
"Third Brother, you forgot that the rules of the competition allow for looting. We only took one path and got only this little. Are you willing to accept this?"
Zhou Yizhuo was speechless. How could I be content with this? I’m already first place, so why should I be unwilling?
Bai Luochen stroked his forehead, he knew what the junior sister was going to do, but on second thought, they promised to help Wuji Sect and Wanluo Sect get the top five. If they left, the next ranking would be uncertain, so it would be better for them to stay, perhaps there would be room for maneuver.
"Junior sister, are you planning to rob them? Since we still have a lot of time left, it's okay to play with them."
With Bai Luochen's words, the others were speechless. Zhong Ling'er asked them to rest and she set up a formation around the exit.
It can be seen that this formation is even more mysterious, because later on, Zhong Ling'er did not set up the formation herself, but called Bai Luochen. She said the direction, and Bai Luochen laid the foundation of the formation. Finally, it was Bai Luochen who activated it. Obviously, Zhong Ling'er could not do this with her foundation-building cultivation.
The formation was set up but no one came. Zhong Ling'er put up a sign next to the formation out of boredom, "Please stop if there is a formation ahead. Hand over everything except the items on the task list, otherwise I'll count down, hahahaha!"
"Junior Sister, are you going a little too far?"
Yu Chengpeng disagreed a little. As a always upright person, he couldn't accept robbery.
Zhong Ling'er thought about it for a moment, and suddenly she realized something and pushed the sign down.
"Fourth Brother, I understand what you mean. Since the rules allow fighting and competing, shouldn't we trap them and send them all away? This way, we will not only be first, but also first by a wide margin, and they will all be last. Hahaha, Fourth Brother, this is a really great idea."
Qi Haoran immediately perked up when he heard this. "Yeah, why didn't I think of that? They worked so hard for several days and finally climbed up, but they were sent away at the last minute. I guess they will cry to death when they get out. This is a good idea. I'm excited just thinking about that scene."
Yu Chengpeng was shocked. When did he say that? How did his junior sister understand his words like this? Wasn't this excessive? Wasn't this cruel?
Bai Luochen put Zhong Ling'er's sign back in place and patted the back of Qi Haoran's head, "What's so good about that? You'll be happy if you really do this. Your master will definitely be beaten up by a group of sect leaders. If you rob them and they don't give you anything, you can send the person away. This way, no one will complain."
