Shi Cheng and other cultivators of the Zhenlei Squad heard others discussing why the two immortal pill masters, Gu Yao and Xu Chen, dared to go deep into the battlefield. They didn't understand it before, but now they understand after seeing Chi Changye's battle. It was because they relied on Chi Changye's powerful fighting power. They looked at each other, wondering whether they should explain to these people that even though Gu Yao is an immortal pill master, his fighting power is no weaker than that of the peak earth immortal cultivators who have been tested on the battlefield for a long time.
Lu Peng shook his head and said, "Forget it. Even if I explain it to them, they may not believe it. It is better for them to see it with their own eyes. I have a feeling that the situation here will escalate. It may not be long before Master Gu and his men will join the battle. We have to be prepared to retreat at any time."
Such a temporary settlement can be abandoned at any time and is not worth regretting. This is the tacit understanding of everyone. During this period of time, the injured members of the Thunder Squad can recover from their injuries.
What happened in the next few days was exactly as Lu Peng had predicted. Several patrol teams in different locations were attacked by void beasts. Because they were caught off guard, casualties occurred. Under such circumstances, one team decided to withdraw and left the settlement that day, heading for the nearest city.
However, less than a day after that team left, the captains of the teams that remained in the settlement were urgently summoned to a meeting
.
"What? Wang Sui's team was wiped out?"
Monk Kong, who was in charge of initiating the meeting, affirmed: "Yes, it is very unfortunate news. No one expected that they would be ambushed by the void beasts on the way back to the city. No one survived, so the current situation is very serious. I suspect that our temporary settlement has been targeted by the void beasts, which can be seen from the increasingly frequent sneak attacks recently. So my opinion is that we can't stay here any longer. We have to retreat, but we can't move like Wang Sui's team. If we scatter, we will probably be defeated by the Void Beasts hiding in the dark, so we have to move together. "
Monk Kong is the monk with the highest cultivation in the settlement, in the late stage of the Celestial Immortal. His words are also very convincing, but the captains of each team need to go back and discuss with their own team members. Monk Kong reminded them that if they want to leave, they must leave quickly and not delay here for too long.
The news of the annihilation of Wang Sui's team soon spread in the settlement. Gu Yao and his team were also informed by Chi Changye who had just returned from a meeting. Chi Changye did not express his opinion at the meeting, but after returning, he said: "Friend Kong is right. We must withdraw as soon as possible. The longer we stay, the more disadvantageous it will be for us. We will leave with the main team and act according to circumstances on the way."
"I will listen to the captain." Xu Chuan agreed unconditionally.
Shi Cheng and Chi Changye returned together. On the way, he asked Chi Changye for his opinion. At that time, Chi Changye said that he agreed with Friend Kong's decision, so after Shi Cheng returned, he also conveyed this spirit to the members of Zhenlei Team, and no one objected.
But some teams thought it was better to stay still than to move. Maybe the Void Beasts were waiting for them to leave the settlement before launching an attack, because the defense of a moving team was not as good as that of a settlement. The settlement could have a formation alert. At present, unless a Xuan-level Void Beast took action, they had no way to directly break through the defense formation and attack the settlement.
But if they left, it would be easy for the Void Beasts to split their formation. Once split, their overall strength would drop a lot.
However, that same night, another sneak attack occurred, which made this wavering team determined to leave. Nearly two hundred void beasts suddenly appeared at the entrance of the settlement's defense array at night and launched a fierce attack on the defense array. The settlement immediately sounded the highest level alarm, so the monks quickly went out and joined the battle, which lasted until dawn.
Even though it was daybreak here, the light was still dim. Although they had repelled these void beasts, everyone looked unhappy, especially the monks who were patrolling at night. No one noticed when these void beasts broke through their vigilance and ran behind them. By the time they saw the emergency signal from the settlement and rushed back, the monks in the settlement had already started fighting.
The unexpected actions of the void beasts not only killed and injured several monks at the beginning, but also directly caused a gap in the defense array of the settlement. If the monks who heard the alarm had not rushed in continuously and blocked these void beasts outside, the casualties might have been even greater, because once they broke into the settlement, the situation would become even more chaotic.
As soon as the battle ended, Monk Kong once again proposed to abandon the settlement. If you don't want to go with them, you can continue to stay. This time there was no objection, and everyone went back to pack their bags. After only a quarter of an hour, the entire settlement was emptied, the defense array was removed, and only traces of monks living here were left.
Before leaving, Monk Kong said: "No one can guarantee what will happen during the retreat. In critical moments, we can only break up the team, and each team will escape on their own. We will have a chance to meet again in the Void City in the future."
It is understandable. Among these teams, only the Gu Chi team is a newcomer. The other teams are very experienced on the battlefield. When the dangerous moment really comes, they can only rely on themselves. Kong Xiuwei, the strongest one, also has his own team to protect, so he has no time to care about others.
Before setting out, Monk Kong consulted with Chi Changye and decided that he would lead the way, while Chi Changye and several other monks with strong strength would guard the rear, because after several practices, it was proved that Chi Changye's sensitivity to spatial fluctuations was no less than Monk Kong's, so it was extremely suitable for him to be on guard.
Originally, Monk Kong was afraid that Chi Changye would worry about the safety of Gu Yao and others, so he specifically proposed to put the three of them in the middle of the team to protect them to the greatest extent. However,
Chi Changye refused outright, saying that he would feel most at ease if the people stayed by his side, that is, he took the initiative to propose that the four of them be on guard in the rear.
Even Monk Kong thought that the Gu Chi team had gone crazy. Not only did Chi Changye make this decision, but two of the immortal pill masters also
made the same request. They were unwilling to stay in the middle of the team to enjoy protection, but Monk Kong also relied on Chi Changye's vigilance and combat capabilities, and the two sides were deadlocked for a while.
In the end, the Zhenlei team broke the deadlock. The Zhenlei team was willing to stay at the end of the team with the Gu Chi team, so that they could protect the safety of Gu Yao and Xu Chen to the greatest extent. Monk Kong gritted his teeth and had to agree, thinking that if something really happened, he would rush to the back of the team to rescue them as soon as possible.
The big team finally set out. Gu Yao said to Shi Cheng and others: "Thank you."
Shi Cheng was embarrassed. It was not like he had not seen Gu Yao's fighting ability before: "No, it's because we benefited from Master Gu. Maybe other teams will regret not getting such a good opportunity later. Haha."
Gu Yao and Xu Chen couldn't help laughing. The cultivators in the Thunder Team were all good.
For Gu Yao and Xu Chen, although it seemed much safer to stay in the team, they would never know if the people around them were trustworthy until the most critical moment. Not only would Chi Changye worry about Gu Yao's situation, but Gu Yao would also worry about Chi Changye.
Of course, at present, this large team is still quite united, and Monk Kong, the leader with the strongest cultivation level, is also quite qualified.
The team marched for a day and a night, but they didn't encounter a single void beast. It was surprisingly safe. Some people joked and said that maybe because there were too many people in their team, the void beasts were scared and hid far away. Some people looked more serious, saying that maybe it would be a bigger crisis if they didn't show up.
Gu Yao didn't rest, but took turns with Chi Changye to be alert to the fluctuations in the surrounding space. This kind of alert consumed a lot of soul power. If they always relied on Chi Changye, it would affect his subsequent combat power. The two took turns to share the pressure, and the pressure on each of them was much less.
Although Gu Yao's understanding of the laws of space is not as good as Chi Changye's, his soul power is strong enough, and he has his son to cooperate with him. In addition, his soul power is special, so any slight movement around him cannot escape his perception. Two
days later, there was still no movement, and some monks relaxed even more.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence. We have encountered void beasts so many times. How can they be so smart? If they want to have intelligence, this fairyland would have been conquered by them long ago. There would be no good life for us."
"Yes, there are emperor-level strongmen sitting in the void beast battlefield. What changes can escape the perception of the emperor-level strongmen? We are too alarmist."
"Even if there are those void beasts in front of us, what can we do? Let alone hundreds of them, even if there are thousands of them, we can still defeat them."
Facing the laughter in the middle of the team, Lu Peng's face became more and more tense. Shi Cheng asked: "What's wrong?"
Lu Peng shook his head: "I feel something is wrong," and looked up at the sky, "I always feel that this sky is about to be pierced at any time."
As Lu Peng's voice fell, Gu Yao, who had been closing his eyes as if he was regulating his breathing, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, making a sharp whoosh, and Chi Changye, who had a tacit understanding with him, casually sent out an emergency signal.
Monk Kong, who was flying in the front, waved his hand and the team stopped. He jumped into the sky and looked up with cold eyes.
The team was in chaos for a moment, but then some people started to laugh and say that the void beasts didn't appear at all. Some people were just too nervous.
But at this moment, a dazzling light came from the back of the team, and a purple thunder dragon flew out from Chi Changye's body, rushing towards the sky at lightning speed.
"Crack!"
"Boom!"
This sky... was really pierced. Lu Peng was shocked to find that behind the pierced sky were dense void beasts, the number of which was unprecedented.
"It's a group of void beasts! Meet the enemy! Meet the enemy——"
