The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2853 Retreat

"Buzz!"

A ring of ice crystals formed within a one-meter radius around the big white dough, gushing out from the outside of the inner island, freezing the attacking silver needles and then dropping them directly to the ground.

But this delay caused the big white dough's attack to fail, and it was unable to spray out thin threads to attack everyone.

Under the leadership of Chen Mo, the warriors of the Ouyang family quickly crossed the middle of the gentle slope and ran quickly towards the bottom of the slope.

Behind the team, when the big white dough swelled up again and was about to attack them, it was troubled by a silver needle again. As a last resort, it could only spew out an ice crystal ring again to block the attack of the silver needle.

After going back and forth several times, the big white dough became very anxious. It stood up and roared at Chen Mo, making a "hiss!" sound, as if it was blaming him for stopping its attack, which made it very unhappy.

He was right to be unhappy. If this guy spewed out those silver threads, not to mention defense, but it would be a brainless behavior to fight against such a low-temperature attack. After all, he was only at the fifth level of the foundation-building stage, not invincible. And he didn't want to try whether he could withstand such a low temperature approaching absolute zero.

You know, he is now a martial artist of the tenth level of acquired martial arts. If he can withstand this low-temperature attack, wouldn't it expose his strength in front of many people?

Qian Ying couldn't hold out for long, so what could he do?

In just a moment, Chen Mo brought the warriors of the Ouyang family to the bottom of the gentle slope, but here they also encountered the two big white doughs.

The two large white-faced figures turned their heads and puffed up their bodies, ready to spray out thin lines of attack towards the Ouyang family's warrior team.

Two silver needles flew out from Chen Mo's hands in an instant and came in front of the two big white doughs.

There were still two "buzz" sounds. The two big white dough balls had just inflated their bodies, but they had to stop attacking and then release a circle of ice crystals one meter square to dissolve the attack.

What no one expected was that the two ice crystal circles, due to their relatively close distance, actually overlapped and then instantly expanded again, just like when water waves meet on the water surface, they influence each other, and the range of the ice crystals directly expanded to four meters.

Moreover, after the two big white doughs blocked the silver needles, they were ready to spray out thin lines to attack again.

However, they did not expect that two silver needles would burst out again, and they finally had to watch the Ouyang family team bypass their defense line and retreat to the bottom of the gentle slope.

The two big white doughs were very unwilling, but they did not continue to attack. Instead, they slowly climbed to the bottom of the gentle slope and just looked at everyone without any other action.

At this time, amid the wind and snow, there was a faint "hissing!" sound coming from it. It seemed to be the sound made by these big white doughs. No one knew what they were trying to do by making these sounds.

Finally ran out!

All the warriors of the Ouyang family breathed a sigh of relief. From the time they encountered the silkworms on the hill to now when they finally escaped from the hilly area, although the time was short, they all felt like they had experienced life and death. If they were not careful, they would die and get a box lunch.

All eyes were looking at Chen Mo with gratitude. If it weren't for this man, they might not be able to get down the gentle slope. The three warriors who died earlier were shocked and sad at the same time. At that moment, they felt like they were about to collapse. If Chen Mo hadn't appeared to lead everyone, they might have been frozen to death on the gentle slope.

The other three big white dough balls on the gentle slope also slowly crawled to the bottom of the slope and stood in a line side by side with the other two. They all made the same movement, as if they were demonstrating to all the warriors, and made a quiet hissing sound.

All the warriors were terrified when they saw the five white balls of dough. They had never expected to experience an attack like absolute zero here.

In fact, no one has ever measured the temperature of the thin line attack of the big white dough. Qian Ying initially said absolute zero, but he himself had no way to actually measure it. Instead, he based his decision on his own experience, as well as reference to warriors who were frozen into ice balls and the coldness released when ice crystals consumed their field. This made him unconsciously shout out absolute zero.

However, Chen Mo estimated that the attacks of these big white doughs, even if they did not cause damage at absolute zero, would tend towards absolute zero.

So, seeing the five big white balls standing side by side, all the warriors unconsciously retreated a distance.

"Retreat, retreat, keep retreating!" Qian Ying shouted to everyone immediately after seeing this situation.

Just now, Qian Ying was leading the team to escape, so he didn't pay attention to Chen Mo's attack on the big white dough. He just saw the Ouyang family retreat in the end, so he didn't think much about it. Now all he sees is the threat of the big white dough.

Although there was strong wind and snow, which affected everyone's hearing, with the help of Qian Ying's innate power, all the warriors heard it at the same time and immediately retreated to the back.

When the five big white doughs saw this, they hissed even more rapidly, as if to express a threat or a warning.

Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing stood in front of the crowd, staring at the five big white dough balls. After a long time, the five big white dough balls seemed to feel that they would not approach the gentle slope of the hill, so they turned around and climbed up the gentle slope. Finally, they disappeared in the wind and snow.

Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing looked at each other, then turned around and led everyone to retreat again.

After walking hundreds of meters away from the hilly area, he chose a leeward area and began to rest and recover his strength. In the conflict just now, not to mention the others, even the two innate masters had consumed some energy, especially Qian Ying's innate power, which had been exhausted.

After taking the pill, he recovered a little, but then he met two big white doughs and was consumed again.

Therefore, no matter whether the others have consumed any energy or not, Qian Ying must rest, take recovery pills, and start to restore his own strength.

If his innate energy was completely consumed, he would feel very insecure. After all, as an innate master, if the innate energy in his dantian was completely consumed, then if another enemy appeared, he would have to stretch his neck and wait to be chopped off.

Qian Wantong saw Qian Ying meditating to restore his strength, so he naturally arranged for people to stand guard, especially the five big white dough balls on the gentle slope, which were all targets for surveillance. If these big white dough balls continued to attack, they would have to continue to evacuate.

Until the afternoon, it was still snowing and blowing. Large flakes of heavy snow slowly fell, covering the entire surrounding area with white. The snow had accumulated to the knee level. As it was getting dark, Qian Ying had finally recovered.

He immediately arranged for people to do some things and called all the family leaders over for a meeting.

In the valley, once it gets dark, it will be pitch dark. So if you want to spend the night, you have to be prepared. Otherwise, if an enemy appears at night, it will be very dangerous for all warriors, even himself.

Of course, this does not include Chen Mo, after all, this guy has the ability to see during the day.

Fortunately, warriors are warriors after all. As long as there is a little light, they can see their surroundings clearly.

"As everyone has just seen, those strange beasts that look like white dough have very strong attack power and are also capable of low-temperature attacks. Their temperature must be absolute zero. So, should we spend the night here tonight, or take the risk and continue moving forward?" Qian Ying asked after meeting several family leaders.

In fact, Qian Ying had already made up his mind that he had to prepare to spend the night here, otherwise he would not have arranged for his warriors to prepare supplies for the night.

But he couldn't make decisions for the other families, and couldn't appear to be too arbitrary, so he called people over to ask. Although it was a bit hypocritical, except for Zhou Zixing who saw something, Han Chengye, Ouyang Nan, and Ma Xianglong didn't see anything.

After a few people looked at each other, they asked uncertainly: "Elder Qian, those white doughs have strong attack power. What if they attack us while we are resting at night?"

Elder Qian nodded and said, "I am considering your suspicion. However, the white dough has disappeared. It seems that they have drilled into the cracks in the rocks in the hills. According to my observation, they don't seem to leave the hill nursery too far. When we evacuated earlier, the five white doughs only chased us to the bottom of the gentle slope and stopped, and did not continue to chase us. Therefore, I preliminarily concluded that they should not appear again unless we step on the hill again."

After hearing this, everyone nodded unconsciously.

Then they looked at each other and finally said, "Elder Qian, I'll listen to you and rest here tonight."

"Very good, then it is decided. In fact, there is another reason why I called you here. Have you guys dug up those golden-edged snow lotus in the nursery upstairs?" Qian Ying asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

"Elder Qian, we were about to dig when we were attacked by things that looked like silkworms, so we didn't dig up even a single golden-edged snow lotus."

"So are we."

"So are we……"

Several families expressed the same opinion, which made Qian Ying feel helpless.

When he was attacked, he retreated quickly without taking a close look at the gains of other families. He only asked just in case.

Now, it seems that this possibility is really not going to happen, and I feel very disappointed.

"Okay, so regarding those golden-edged snow lotuses on the hills, I hope you will think carefully tonight about whether you want to get them. If you want them, then how do you deal with those strange beasts? If not, then we will continue on our journey after dawn tomorrow," Qian Ying said.

"Okay!" Several family leaders nodded in response.

"Okay then, let's have a good rest tonight, and then we'll discuss it tomorrow morning." Qian Ying said, "By the way, the temperature is a little low now, but we have to spend the night here, so everyone should pay attention tonight and arrange for night watchmen. And we need to arrange more people in the direction of the hills. After all, there are strange beasts there. Although I don't think they will attack us, it's just an estimate. Once those strange beasts appear, we must be ready to retreat immediately."

"Yes!" Everyone nodded and agreed again.

"Okay, Ma Xianglong, you stay for a while, and everyone else go back and make arrangements. It's getting dark, so we still need to prepare well." Qian Ying instructed.
