The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2917 Unexpected Stop

With a "bang", Qian Ying pulled back the innate short sword with force, instantly flashed to Zhou Zixing's side, and then blocked the sharp claws that were about to attack Zhou Zixing's throat with a sword.

The huge force caused a gust of wind to blow around. The leader of the strange beasts could not withstand such a force, so he flipped over and fell about ten meters away.

Although he was already at the peak of the second level of Xiantian, he was still one level behind Qian Ying, who was at the peak of the third level of Xiantian. And because he was saving someone just now, Qian Ying used all his strength to attack without holding back, which was why he made the leader of the alien beast fly backwards so far.

After Zhou Zixing was attacked and injured by the leader of the alien beasts, he rushed over to rescue Zhou Zixing.

It’s not that Qian Ying is selfless, nor that he has a good relationship with Zhou Zixing, but now there are only two innate masters like them. If he doesn’t come to the rescue, then if he encounters a powerful enemy again in the future, won’t he have to bear it all alone?
The lack of manpower is the biggest weakness of this expedition. There is no way to replenish it. If Zhou Zixing was an ordinary warrior, then Qian Ying would not lend a hand to save him. So saving Zhou Zixing is helping himself. There is no need to think about it. Just do it directly.

"Thank you, Elder Qian, for saving me!" Zhou Zixing was covered in cold sweat. He just felt like he was facing death for a moment, a feeling he really didn't want to experience.

Originally, he, who was at the peak of the second level of innateness, came here to explore in order to find a solution to his impending death. Zhou Zixing really didn't want to die, but he didn't expect that the valley would be so magical, especially the strange beasts here, which were so numerous and complicated, which was really unexpected.

The attack from the alien beast leader just now made him see his own breasts.

Of course, he also knew why Qian Ying rescued him.

But Zhou Zixing did not feel disgusted by this thought. Only useful people would be remembered by others, otherwise who could save people in such a crisis?

Therefore, Zhou Zixing's gratitude came from the heart.

Qian Ying could hear the gratitude in Zhou Zixing's words, and couldn't help thinking that her help just now was of some use. In the future, she should repay the favor of saving her life.

However, although the leader of the strange beasts was knocked away, he was not injured. Only a few scales on his forelimbs fell off and there were some minor sword wounds.

When Qian Ying wanted to catch up and continue to attack the leader of the alien beasts, all the alien beasts seemed to go crazy and directly overwhelmed him. Especially when there were dozens of alien beast guards mixed in, the attack was also powerful and heavy, which was very oppressive.

With a loud bang, Qian Ying could only use his domain to strangle all the strange beasts that pounced on him on the spot. Many spikes flew towards him, and after resisting them, Qian Ying's innate strength was consumed by a small half.

There were just too many alien beasts flying towards him, so to kill them he had to endure the attack of their spikes. The spikes were all densely packed and attacking him. If he didn't block them, he would be turned into a hedgehog. It was impossible to use weapons to block the spikes.

In particular, there were dozens of alien beast guards mixed in, all of them biting madly and recklessly. It seemed that Qian Ying's attack on the alien beast leader just now made these alien beast guards feel that they had failed in their duty, so they attacked him like this.

Therefore, Qian Ying had to give up attacking the leader of the strange beasts and take action to deal with the other strange beasts that were flying towards him.

Although Zhou Zixing was injured, it was only a minor injury, so after taking out a healing pill and swallowing it, he immediately swung his innate dagger and came forward to help Qian Ying resist the attacks of these strange beasts.

There are too many of them. If it weren’t for their innate domain, the two of them would have been in a mess.

boom!
The leader of the strange beasts kicked its hind legs again and flew into the air. With a flap of its two wings, it covered a distance of dozens of meters and attacked Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing again.

The distance between them just now was only a dozen meters, but the two of them were resisting the monsters while retreating quickly, so the monster leader only needed to stand up and roar, and the distance between them had widened.

Qian Ying immediately sent a message to Zhou Zixing: "You deal with these ordinary beasts, and I will deal with this beast leader."

"Okay!" Zhou Zixing nodded and agreed, then turned around and stood behind Qian Ying, spreading his domain to protect himself, and then swung his sword at the ordinary beasts that rushed up. However, the beasts were killed one by one, turned into spikes and attacked again, which also caused his innate power to decline rapidly.

The same went for Qian Ying. The attack from the alien beast leader made him very careful. It was not that he had no way to kill the alien beast leader, but mainly because the alien beast leader was surrounded by dozens of alien beast guards, and there were also many ordinary alien beasts.

Even if Zhou Zixing quickly killed these ordinary beasts behind him, there were too many of them to kill. Every time he killed a beast, he not only consumed some innate power, but also had to resist the spike attack, which consumed a little bit. If this continued, his innate power would naturally be consumed more.

The leader of the alien beasts kept attacking Qian Ying among the many alien beasts, leaving him with great strength but unable to concentrate on dealing with the leader of the alien beasts.

Qian Ying now regretted why he didn't use all his strength to kill the leader of the alien beast at the beginning? Instead, he kept delaying, letting the leader of the alien beast bounce in front of him continuously, and he still couldn't kill it.

Time passed slowly, and more than two hours passed as the two men fought with the strange beast.

As they killed the strange beasts and retreated quickly, the temperature of the surrounding environment began to drop a lot. Of course, the current ambient temperature has only dropped to more than 20 degrees below zero, and it is still some distance away from the hilly nursery.

That's why the temperature is like this. However, as they continue, the temperature will naturally drop to more than 100 degrees below zero.

Of course, when Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing were retreating, they also thought that if the strange beasts on this side continued to chase them and the strange beasts in the hilly nursery over there also appeared again, then it would be dangerous for them.

Therefore, the two of them were in a state of confusion, and they tried their best to stop the strange beasts in front of them and kill as many as possible.

Unfortunately, the strange beasts kept attacking, and their number seemed endless.

Fortunately, the beasts did not deliberately bypass the two of them and rush towards the others who were evacuating. Only a small number of beasts rushed over. As the two continued to retreat, the temperature of the surrounding environment began to drop. Qian Ying found that the beasts seemed to be somewhat uncomfortable with the drop in temperature. In particular, some of the beasts began to move in an uncoordinated manner.

This situation is the effect of the cold. Now, Qian Ying feels that the surrounding temperature is at least minus 30 degrees Celsius. If they continue to retreat, the temperature will continue to drop.

"Elder Zhou, have you noticed that the movements of some of the strange beasts are beginning to become uncoordinated?" Qian Ying said in a voice transmission.

"I see. It seems to be because of the temperature here." Zhou Zixing had killed many ordinary beasts, so he could naturally see their changes clearly.

"It seems..." Qian Ying felt that the strange beast seemed not to be adapted to the low temperature environment, so he had to continue retreating and observe it carefully.

"Elder Zhou, retreat faster."

"it is good!"

The two of them cooperated tacitly and retreated quickly.

Then, the ambient temperature drops again.

Even under the light, as the temperature dropped, snowflakes began to fall and snow began to accumulate on the ground.

At this time, the leader of the strange beasts stopped attacking and looked at the two of them with unwillingness in his eyes.

Just now, it had used its full strength in its attack, even using its transformation, but it still couldn't stop the two bipeds. It felt really unwilling.

In fact, the leader of the alien beasts is not afraid of the low temperature here, but the ordinary alien beasts are not afraid.

Moreover, the loss of alien beasts during the pursuit was too great, with the total number reaching several thousand. Even two alien beast guards died in the attack. The other alien beast guards were also wounded, including it, who was also seriously injured.

Repeated sneak attacks and continuous attacks on the two bipeds did not have much effect.

Only the previous attack left one of the Twolegs slightly injured, and after that, the two Twolegs helped each other, making it impossible for the beast to bite.

Feeling the snowflakes falling around him, the leader of the alien beasts stared at the two retreating figures with bloodshot eyes and could only raise his head and roar.

There was a sudden echo in the valley.

All the strange beasts stopped attacking amid the roars.

Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing felt something light around them, and saw that many strange beasts stopped attacking and returned to the team. The two looked at each other, and then retreated a little distance again.

Now, because it is night in the barrier of the hilly nursery, the vision will be affected. The closer to the hilly area, the thicker the fog will be, and it will be harder to see the surroundings.

So, the two of them were now less than ten meters away from the strange beast, so they stopped and looked at the strange beast, trying to figure out why the strange beast stopped attacking.

The leader of the alien beasts walked slowly, surrounded by many alien beast guards. He walked to the front of the alien beast team. After staring at the two people, he jumped and disappeared into the darkness in the direction of the canyon. Only roars were heard in the valley.

Dozens of alien beast guards quickly followed the alien beast leader after he turned around, disappearing into the darkness. Other ordinary alien beasts also quickly followed.

In the darkness, countless strange beasts were looming and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

"Huff..." Zhou Zixing finally let out a sigh of relief and felt a lot more relaxed.

If the monster did not retreat but continued to attack, both he and Qian Ying might be exhausted to death.

"I didn't expect these strange beasts to be uncomfortable with low temperatures." Qian Ying said, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Both of them were besieged by these strange beasts, which consumed a lot of their innate strength. They swallowed several pills. Otherwise, after several hours of fighting, their innate strength would be completely consumed, and they would not be able to hold on until the strange beasts retreated.

"Well, but those larger beasts don't seem to be uncomfortable with low temperatures. Maybe the temperature is not low enough, or it reaches a certain level of low temperature, which will make the larger beasts uncomfortable." Zhou Zixing said.

"It's possible, but the leader of the alien beasts was very alert and stopped attacking early. It seems that the IQ of this alien beast leader is not low." Qian Ying said.

"Let's not talk about this for now, Elder Qian. Let's go find other people and see the situation before we talk about anything else," Zhou Zixing said.

"Okay." Qian Ying nodded in agreement.
