The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3040 The Damaged Defense

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!" Qian Wantong shouted loudly. At this moment, there was no time to dwell on why there was a collision or why the brakes were not stopped in time. Everything would be dealt with after they were out of danger.

I really didn't expect that pushing a makeshift defensive structure would still result in a collision here. It's really speechless.

Just as Qian Wantong shouted and directed everyone to turn around, push the defensive structure to accelerate its retreat, and casually grabbed Yixianhong who had burrowed into the defensive structure, his body went limp, and the place where he had just been bitten was already feeling numb.

"Damn it, the snake venom is working!" Qian Wantong shouted, and quickly arranged for the warriors who hadn't been bitten to continue pushing the defensive structure, while he and the other bitten warriors could only climb to the platform in front of the defensive structure and wait for the snake venom to dissipate.

After the numbness set in, my body felt weak and powerless.

The two warriors who hadn't been bitten quickly pushed the defensive structure in the opposite direction. To save time, they also placed the other two bitten warriors onto the platform in front of the structure. As for the surging red streak, they merely tried to drive it away; it was simply too fast to catch.

Seeing the collided defensive structure retreat rapidly, Ouyang Nan quickly told Chen Mo to follow. She, Ouyang Nana, and Qian Zhenghao could only lie on the platform of the defensive structure, opening their qi and blood protective shields to protect themselves from being bitten by the First Line Red again.

At this moment, my body felt limp, and I could only use a protective shield to protect myself.

Fortunately, Chen Mo quickly used his longsword to drive away the surging red embers and, together with Ouyang Ruoxi, pushed the defensive structure forward.

The speed of the First Line Red is fast, but it would be very easy for Chen Mo to catch or injure them. However, there is no need to kill these strange beasts just to drive them away.

When attacked, the red eagle immediately dodged and darted out through the breach in the defenses. Anyway, it had already bitten several people tonight, finally venting its frustration after chasing them all the way from the black soil without managing to bite anyone.

Everyone here is a martial artist. The difference between five people pushing and two people pushing is only in terms of energy consumption and speed. However, two martial artists can still easily push a defensive structure weighing several tons.

Although the defenses were damaged, when moving quickly through the bushes, far fewer Red Riding Hounds could squeeze through the broken sections.

As for the red streak that burrowed back in, it was naturally driven away by the martial artists who were still able to move. Even if the martial artist lying there was bitten, it only depleted their own qi and blood protective shield, and they were not further injured.

Moreover, because of the presence of the red thread fruit, there's no real worry after being bitten and poisoned. If you're already poisoned, being bitten again only exacerbates the poisoning; you can just eat another red thread fruit.

As for the bite marks on the red-spotted snake, there's no need to say more; they're very slight. After all, a snake that's not much different from a chopstick can't have very big fangs.

The terrifying thing about the "One-Line Red" snake is its venom. However, once you've taken the antidote, you no longer need to fear being bitten.

The two defenders moved quickly through the bushes, and it was at this moment that Qian Zhenghao noticed the abnormalities on Ouyang Nan and Ouyang Nana's wounds.

The red thread fruit can be taken internally and applied externally. These two women actually chewed the red thread fruit and applied the residue to the places where they were bitten by the red thread fruit.

Neither of these two women had ever mentioned that the red thread fruit could be used in this way.

Watching the two women take out the red thread fruit again, chew it up, and apply it to the wound, Qian Zhenghao looked very resentful. Now they don't even bother to pretend anymore, they're just applying the red thread fruit right in front of him.

Shouldn't we give him an explanation?

Qian Zhenghao wanted to see if the two women should explain, but to his surprise, they didn't even look at him and just did what they wanted.

He finally understood that he was an outsider in the five-person expedition team, while the other four were the core members.

He looked at the two women with some resentment, and no longer wanted to say anything. Instead, he took out a red thread fruit from his pocket and applied it to his wound.

Sure enough, after applying the chewed red thread fruit externally, the wound felt cool and the numbness quickly disappeared.

This only fueled Qian Zhenghao's resentment. After all, he had been poisoned several times before, each time swallowing the Red Thread Fruit and enduring the numbness caused by the toxins while waiting for the first-line red toxin to be eliminated. In fact, while the first-line red toxin was still present, his body was limp and weak, and he could only recover after the toxins were cleared.

Now, after applying the red thread fruit crumbs to the wound, the numbness quickly dissipated, and my strength returned. I no longer had to endure the pain and wait; it felt so good to be able to control my body.

Feeling the feedback from his body, Qian Zhenghao looked at the two women with even more resentment. Why didn't they tell him about such a good antidote sooner? The last few times he was bitten by the First Red, he could only endure it and wait for recovery. Was he not worthy?
As Qian Zhenghao glared resentfully at the two women, they naturally noticed his gaze. However, noticing it didn't hurt them; they understood why he was giving them such a resentful look.

However, the two women smiled slightly, then turned their faces away, no longer looking at this guy.

Anyway, just pretend you can't see yourself.

This only made Qian Zhenghao more frustrated; he hadn't expected these two women to act this way. Oh well, no matter how the Red Thread Fruit is used, it will remove the snake venom; it's just a matter of how fast the recovery is and how well it feels. Now is not the time to complain.

Besides, he couldn't beat these two women. Don't be fooled by their seemingly delicate appearance; if it came down to a fight, not only Ouyang Nan, but even the woman in front of him named Ouyang Nana was a level above him in strength.

Trying to lay a hand on them is like lighting a lantern in a toilet—it's suicidal!

Feeling the defensive entity beneath him move rapidly, he turned to look at the other two people pushing him: Ouyang Ruoxi and Chen Mo. These two definitely knew how to use the Red Thread Fruit, both internally and externally, but he couldn't afford to offend them.

Of course, he might be able to beat that woman; their strengths shouldn't be too different, since he had observed them carefully beforehand. But against that guy named Li Mo, he would have no choice but to surrender.

This guy could easily take down Qian Wantong and Manager Qian in a few moves, so it would be incredibly easy for him to deal with me.

Therefore, in this small team, he was not only an outsider, but also the weakest member.

Sigh, human nature is really something else!
Within the defensive structure where Qian Zhenghao was located, thanks to Chen Mo's protection, especially his use of his divine sense to directly repel any streaks of red that tried to sneak in through the damaged area, very few actually managed to enter the defensive structure through the damaged area.

Moreover, even if they managed to sneak in, they would be driven away by the three people lying on the platform. After all, their bodies had recovered well after taking and applying the Red Thread Fruit internally and externally, and their strength had also been restored, so driving away any Red Thread Fruit that managed to sneak in was quite easy.

However, they were somewhat at a loss when it came to Qian Wantong's defensive body.

The three bitten individuals, including Qian Wantong, were completely powerless and limp because they had only ingested the Red Thread Fruit internally and hadn't applied it externally. The two martial artists who had activated their defensive formations could barely protect themselves.

After all, they not only had to push the defensive structures, but also guard against the first line of fire. Therefore, their energy and blood consumption was quite high. As for the three people lying on the platform, they were powerless to help and could only rely on their own energy and blood for protection.

What they didn't expect was that they didn't have Chen Mo's divine sense protecting them, so there were quite a few Red Crescents that crawled in through the broken area, and most of them pounced on and tore at the three people lying there.

The protective shield of qi and blood immediately became shaky. Just as the defensive body advanced a distance, the First Line Red bit through the shield of one of the martial artists, and immediately many First Line Reds pounced on it to tear it apart.

The martial artist had no choice but to swallow a few more Red Thread Fruits to detoxify himself. However, he simply didn't have the strength to resist the biting Red Thread Fruits.

It took him a lot of effort to just put the red thread fruit from his pocket into his mouth. Now, he wanted to kill the red thread fruit that was biting him, but he didn't have the strength.

Therefore, if you get bitten, you can only tough it out.

Qian Wantong also had the protection of another martial artist, but it was also on the verge of collapse, as there were simply too many First Line Reds attacking the two of them.

Seeing this scene, Qian Wantong could only shout, "Stop! Help me drive these red-haired people away first!"

Upon hearing this, the two martial artists had no choice but to stop pushing the defensive structure and then step forward to attack the red-lined enemies.

But as soon as they stopped, the defensive structure behind them crashed directly into it, creating another huge noise that shook their side.

"Captain Ouyang Nan, wait a minute. We need to rescue Manager Qian. Too many First-Tier Red Diamonds have come in." One of the martial artists, who happened to be from the Ouyang family, shouted loudly to the people behind him.

Although both sides were inside the defensive structure, it wasn't soundproof, so they could hear each other clearly.

"No, we can't waste time!" Seeing that as soon as the defense stopped, several red streaks frantically burrowed into the damaged area, Ouyang Nan immediately shouted to the front while driving away these streaks, "Leave one person behind to control the direction, and we'll push from behind."

Ouyang Nan knew Chen Mo's strength, so even with the defensive body in front of him, he was able to push both defensive bodies together.

Once we leave this area, the attacks from the "Red Line" will cease. Therefore, we should evacuate as soon as possible, instead of lingering here and stopping to rescue people.

"Listen to her." Although Qian Wantong was weak all over, he could still speak. Ouyang Nan was right. Since they could use the force behind them to propel them, one person only needed to control the direction, and the other person could help the three of them drive away these deadly red streaks.

"Yes." Upon hearing Qian Wantong's order, the two warriors immediately nodded in agreement.

Immediately, the defensive structure that had stopped began to accelerate forward again as Chen Mo and Ouyang Ruoxi pushed against the defensive structure in front of them.

Over here, one martial artist was controlling the direction of the defensive structure, while another was quickly driving away the red line that had crawled into the structure.

However, because there were quite a few of these red-lined drills penetrating the defenses, the three people lying down were still bitten in several places.
