The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2909 Qiongqi
The situation was the same on the Qian family's side. Hundreds of strange beasts swooped down on them madly without stopping for a moment, making it difficult for the Qian family's warriors to cope with them.

Fortunately, Qian Ying was there, deploying his domain to maneuver on the front line of the battle. As long as the Qian family warriors were in danger, he would immediately go up to help, and thus the attacks of the strange beasts were barely blocked.

It’s not that Qian Ying, the innate warrior, is not strong, but he also has deeper considerations, that is, the number of attacking monsters in front of him is still increasing, and there are endless monsters crawling out of the canyon behind him.

Well, no one knows how many of these strange beasts there are, and the strange beasts have super strong defenses and are very powerful, so they are difficult to kill.

Just now, like Zhou Zixing, he used the power of the domain to kill the strange beasts, and he had a little understanding of it. But he didn't have a very detailed understanding, and he hadn't yet fully figured out whether these strange beasts had special abilities.

Therefore, in order to preserve one's own strength, the warriors should deal with the attacks of these strange beasts first. Once the number and capabilities of the strange beasts are clear, they can attack with all their strength.

In addition, there is another reason, which is that this is a valley, a very special place.

Now with so many beasts attacking, who knows if there are more powerful beasts or something else behind them, controlling the attacks of these beasts. He has to be on guard, not to let a stronger enemy suddenly appear when he is exhausted. This will definitely be a disaster for the Qian family team, or even all the family teams.

Of course, Qian Ying had a little idea in her heart, which was to save herself and sacrifice others. However, she would not say or show this idea.

Qian Ying kept using his domain to kill the strange beasts one after another, but new strange beasts kept appearing. In just a few minutes, the number increased to several hundred.

For all the warriors of the Qian family, they could no longer cope with such a large number of strange beasts.

Qian Ying could only open his domain in an instant, encompassing some of the alien beasts, and then use the domain to control his innate power to kill all of them. But just this one time, his innate power was consumed a lot. If it happened a few more times, he might not be able to continue to deal with the alien beasts.

Thinking that the strange beast came out from the canyon, except for the Qian family and the Zhou family, the warriors of the other three families did not engage in battle with the strange beast. So now, it was time for the warriors of the other three families to join the battle, so as to disperse the attack of the strange beast and ensure that their own warriors and himself were consumed.

In addition, he also saw Zhou Zixing and the Zhou family warriors slowly moving towards the Qian family. Naturally, he also understood what Zhou Zixing was thinking, and immediately sent a message to Qian Wantong: "Meet the Zhou family warriors, and then deal with the monster together."

After hearing this, Qian Wantong immediately ordered the Qian family warriors to provide support.

There is still a distance of dozens of meters between the Qian family and the Zhou family, so the warriors of the two families are needed to drive out or destroy the strange beasts that sneak in between, so that the two families can reunite.

Seeing Qian Wantong commanding the warriors to fight against some strange beasts according to his orders, Qian Ying turned around again and shouted to the Ma family, the Han family, and the Ouyang family: "All warriors, gather over here and fight against the strange beasts together."

The sound was like thunder, ringing in the ears of many warriors, and it echoed back and forth in the valley.

After hearing Qian Ying's shout, the warriors from the Ma, Han, and Ouyang families immediately formed a fighting team, ran towards the Qian family, and fought against the strange beast together.

At this time, the Zhou family joined the Qian family. The warriors of the two families joined together, and the defense line was strengthened. And with the addition of Zhou Zixing, a congenital master, it was a little better to deal with these strange beasts.

However, the number of strange beasts is still increasing, so the pressure on the defense line is gradually increasing with the passage of time.

Fortunately, at this time, the teams from the other three families also joined in the fight against the monsters and stabilized the precarious defense line.

Of course, Chen Mo was among them.

Before Qian Ying could shout, Ouyang Nan had already organized all the family warriors, including himself, to prepare for defense. After all, when the attack occurred, the dead guard on duty at the Qian family blew the whistle, letting everyone know that there was an alien beast attack.

Therefore, each family used their temporary residence as a circle and began to defend themselves.

When they heard Qian Ying's shout, the three families formed a formation and ran towards the Qian family.

When the team was attacked by the alien beast, Chen Mo looked at the alien beast in front of him and felt a little weird. He didn't expect that the alien beast he saw was really very strange. Not only did it look a little weird, but the pair of small wings was also a little incredible.

Its body is so big, much bigger than that of an ordinary calf, but its wings are not big. It is like a small donkey pulling a big mill. The configuration is a bit inappropriate.

But just this pair of small wings allows these strange beasts to glide at low altitude and swoop down.

These strange beasts have really weird appearances, and I have never seen them before.

However, after a careful observation, I felt that I seemed to be able to find a clue. These strange beasts were very similar to the description of a strange beast I had seen in the Shanhaijing before.

Originally, he hadn't thought of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. But he had encountered a strange beast like the fierce beast in the Great Rift Valley before. So when he saw the strange beast in front of him, he had some associations.

Sure enough, after careful observation and comparison, it was discovered that these strange beasts were quite similar to the description of the Qiongqi strange beast in the Shan Hai Jing.

The description of Qiongqi in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is: On the mountain of Qiongshan, there is a wild beast that looks like an ordinary cow, but has hedgehog hair all over its body. It is called Qiongqi. It makes a sound like a dog barking and eats people.

Qiongqi is one of the four ferocious beasts in ancient times. According to legend, it is an evil god who suppresses good and promotes evil. It is as big as a cow, looks like a tiger, has the fur of a hedgehog, has wings, sounds like a dog, and feeds on eating humans.

However, these strange beasts in front of them, although covered with spiky hair like hedgehogs, were completely black, and did not look like tigers. Their heads were more like jackals, and their bodies were larger than calves, but not as big as adult cows.

So, some imaginations are not exactly the same.

However, Shan Hai Jing is an ancient book after all, so perhaps there are some discrepancies in the descriptions.

Chen Mo followed Ouyang Ruoxi and protected her while carefully observing the strange beasts that were flying towards them.

He used his divine sense to carefully observe the approaching strange beasts. Because of his divine sense, he discovered that the fur of these strange beasts, which was like hedgehog hair, could not be ignored.

But he had no way of telling others about his discovery. After all, the attacks of these strange beasts were just biting and pouncing, and there were no other special attacks.

Therefore, he could only draw out the long sword on his back to protect Ouyang Ruoxi, Ouyang Nana, and even Ouyang Nan in the team. The others could only fend for themselves.

At this time, Qian Ying also killed a few strange beasts and found that using the domain to kill the strange beasts was a bit costly. After all, these strange beasts had high defenses and were difficult to kill.

Therefore, he loudly warned all warriors to be careful and defend themselves, and to use weapons to attack these strange beasts as much as possible. He also narrowed the area, and killed every strange beast in the area with the innate dagger.

With the help of the innate power, the innate dagger can still easily break the fur of these beasts, but as long as the damage is not fatal, these beasts can struggle to stand up and keep biting and attacking. If it weren't for the suppression of the domain, there is really no way to easily kill the beasts.

This also gave Qian Ying a headache. The piercing sword of the innate short sword seemed unable to find the fatal position of the monster for a while, so he had to cut off the monster's head with one sword. Otherwise, the monster would not die and could continue to attack him.

But if he used the dagger to cut off its head, the force used was still relatively large, so the consumption was increased. Looking up at the many strange beasts outside the area, and the figures that kept climbing up, he gritted his teeth, how could there be so many of them?
In just ten minutes, all the warriors of the expedition team had gathered together and took action to deal with these strange beasts that were flying towards them.

However, the number of exotic beasts also increased significantly in just a dozen minutes, from two or three hundred to thousands.

Due to the killing of all the warriors, the bodies of the alien beasts piled up, providing a trampling opportunity for other alien beasts. The alien beasts behind them jumped up, and then used the bodies of the dead alien beasts to gain momentum and jump higher again, so that they could pounce on the warriors from a higher position.

Because of this, during the battle, a warrior from the Ouyang family was thrown to the ground. Before the other warriors nearby could rescue him, they were covered by more strange beasts.

Suddenly, after a few screams, there was no sound.

After hearing this, Ouyang Nan shouted, "Ouyang Min, protect the others and don't let them get knocked down."

Before setting off, the two of them simply divided up the tasks. Each side was responsible for a part of the team and became a member of the rescue team. Wherever there was danger, they would immediately step forward to rescue.

After all, the team not only has warriors with strong strength, but also some warriors with slightly weaker strength, so they must cooperate well.

However, after engaging in the battle, they did not expect that these strange beasts would move so quickly, and could even pounce on them and attack from the front and above, making the warriors a little flustered.

Qian Ying also saw the alien beast using the force to fly, so he immediately attacked the beast while shouting, "Everyone listen up, slowly retreat and make room. Don't let the alien beast use the force to fly higher."

After hearing this, all the warriors began to cooperate with each other and slowly retreated.

As the warriors retreated, the beasts had no way to take advantage of the force and could only pounce not very high, just like before. In this way, the battle line, which had just been a little dangerous, returned to its previous state.
