The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3114 All-out attack to break through

While Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing were dodging, they discovered two pieces of information, one good and one bad.

Fortunately, these strange beasts are not as strong as the two that fought by the lake. The current strange beasts are relatively weak.

However, this weakness is relative. Their strength is roughly at the first level of the Innate Realm. Moreover, when these strange beasts attacked, they did not attack in groups, but only a few surrounded the two of them, giving them enough space to move and dodge.

The bad thing was that these beasts were incredibly intelligent. They had a clear division of labor: attacking was one thing, and surrounding was another. Trying to escape the encirclement while the beasts were attacking was impossible; the other beasts huddled together, completely surrounding the two of them.

It will be difficult for the two of them to break free from the encirclement.

"Clang, clang, clang..." The innate short sword struck the beast's limbs repeatedly, but it only knocked the beast down or made it roar in pain. However, because the beast's scales had extremely high defense, it was impossible to break through them in a few blows. So although the beast felt the heavy blows, it did not suffer serious injuries.

Whenever a beast roars in pain as it is attacked, another beast will step in to take its place.

These beasts coordinated their attacks and retreats with remarkable skill and fluidity. It could be said that the more than one hundred beasts did not show the slightest weakness, completely thwarting Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing's plan to escape during an opening.

"Damn it! These beasts are so smart!" In a short time, Qian Ying swung his innate short sword and slashed at the beasts hundreds of times. If it were just one or two beasts, even if they had strong defenses, they would have been defeated by him.

Unfortunately, there were over a hundred strange beasts. With over a hundred slashes delivered to each of them, each beast would only take a few hits at most, which was already considered a lot.

So not only were the scales of the beasts not broken, but none of them were even injured. They were merely inflicted pain.

With the alternating attacks and the skillful coordination between the beasts, Qian Ying's hand holding the innate short sword began to tremble.

"Elder Zhou, if this continues, we might both die," Qian Ying said telepathically to Zhou Zixing.

Zhou Zixing was also panting heavily, feeling that he had consumed a lot of his innate power in such a short time fighting against the strange beast. Hearing Qian Ying say this, he nodded repeatedly: "That's right, I have already used up more than half of my innate power. It will be dangerous if this continues! So, what do you suggest we do?"

After saying that, he slashed down with his sword, splitting a beast that was charging at him in two. Then he took out a pill and ate it to replenish his depleted innate power.

Damn it, there are so many strange beasts here, and that dark figure standing on the back of one of them.

While speaking, Qian Ying also swallowed a replenishing pill and then transmitted her voice, saying, "The only way now is to attack with all our might! Here's what we'll do: I'll activate my domain and control the beasts within it. You can attack them directly and try to kill them. Although there are many of these beasts, we can kill them one by one."

Zhou Zixing hesitated for a moment before transmitting his voice, "Elder Qian, controlling the alien beast and cooperating with you to kill it is no problem, but there's still that dark figure over there. When we kill the alien beast, will he interfere?"

Qian Ying remained calm, thrusting her innate short sword forward with a deafening clang, striking the attacking beast in the head. The beast was momentarily disoriented. Then, seizing the opportunity, she said, "We can't worry about that now. If this continues, we'll both be exhausted to death. We're fighting anyway. If the shadowy figure intervenes, we'll think of another way. Right now, we should deal with these beasts. After all, we're surrounded by them; if we don't eliminate them, we'll die sooner or later." "That's right, I agree!" She then took out another pill and put it in her mouth, but didn't swallow it immediately. The previous replenishing pill's effects hadn't completely worn off, so she kept this one as a reserve. They would be fighting desperately later, and there wouldn't be time to consume pills.

"Alright, let's get started! Let's start from the one next to you!" After Qian Ying finished speaking, he flashed to Zhou Zixing's side and then unfolded his innate domain, which just barely included the strange beast, as well as himself and Zhou Zixing.

When Zhou Zixing saw the strange beast in front of him being instantly controlled and struggling to break free, he immediately swung his innate short sword and mustered all his strength to attack one of the beast's positions.

The beast's scales have extremely high defense; they won't break unless the defense threshold is exceeded. Therefore, to kill the beast, you need to keep attacking the same spot.

These strange beasts were somewhat weaker than the two they had dealt with by the lake earlier. However, their defenses were the same, just like their scales were all the same thickness. So, breaking through them would be just as difficult as subduing the unicorn beast they had fought earlier.

"Clang, clang, bang, bang..." A series of sounds rang out as Zhou Zixing attacked more than a dozen times in a short period of time.

A faint "crack!" sound rang out, and a scale on the side of the strange beast showed signs of about to collapse and shatter.

When Qian Ying unleashed her innate domain, the other beasts began frantically ramming against the domain's barrier. Moreover, upon discovering the domain's appearance, the beasts instantly adjusted the number of their attacks.

Originally, only six strange beasts attacked the two people, but after the domain appeared, the number instantly increased to ten, attacking the barrier simultaneously.

If Qian Ying's domain barrier had been smaller, only enveloping one beast and himself and Zhou Zixing, it would have attracted even more attacks from the beasts.

The beasts were all quite large. Not to mention the largest ones, even the smallest of the hundred or so was nearly twenty meters tall and over thirty meters long.

It's unrealistic for such large beasts to attack together. Therefore, their attacks are spaced out to allow them to pinpoint the attack area.

The frenzied collision of the ten strange beasts caused the innate domain barrier to flash with light, but it would not collapse for a while!

At this moment, Zhou Zixing also launched a frenzied attack on the strange beasts in front of him. He knew that the longer Qian Ying held out, the greater her energy expenditure would be. If they couldn't eliminate the multiple strange beasts in a short time, then the two of them would be torn to pieces by the beasts.

If they can eliminate a few more of the strange beasts, they might be able to reveal a space, allowing the two of them to retreat in time.

With a "bang!", a scale broke off on the side of the beast that Zhou Zixing attacked, revealing the beast's skin underneath.

"Now! Haha!" Zhou Zixing was overjoyed and thrust his innate short sword directly into the area!
