The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3232 Sneak Attack

After the team was organized, Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing took the lead and headed towards the building where the doors and windows had just been removed.

They strapped the lighting equipment to their bodies, placing it in front, to the left, and to the right, and then turned it all on.

In an instant, several beams of light intertwined, illuminating an area of ​​several feet around the two as if it were daytime.

The beams of light from the flashlights traced paths in the darkness, forcibly dispelling the darkness and leaving no place for the light to hide.

The two walked to the open hall, which had no doors, but instead of going in, they continued to dismantle the wooden structure of the building along the damaged area in front of them.

To speed things up, Qian Ying used his innate short sword to chop at the building timbers.

The wood is easy to chop, but each section is protected by a barrier, so you have to break through these barriers before you can remove the wood.

Therefore, dismantling these wooden structures still requires a considerable amount of effort and time.

Fortunately, the barrier covering the building was not strong, so with Qian Ying's forceful chopping, it only took a few minutes to break the barrier of an area, and then the wooden planks, doors and windows were cut into sizes that were easy to move.

The dismantled wood was casually tossed behind them to make it easier for other martial artists to carry.

Zhou Zixing stood about a meter behind Qian Ying, keeping watch for her. He was ready to provide immediate support should any shadowy figures attack or other unexpected situations arise.

Of course, Zhou Zixing and Qian Ying had already discussed it beforehand. They would take turns doing this, one dismantling and the other protecting the Dharma. This would not only be safe, but also save their innate energy.

Behind them, the other two groups of martial artists at the tenth level of the Acquired Realm followed suit.

Everyone was strapped with lighting equipment, just like Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing, with lights in front, behind, left, and right, illuminating a radius of about ten feet around them.

Quickly move the wood and place it on both sides, leaving a passageway. Light the wood as you move it to create a fire trail, giving the shadowy figure no chance to launch a sneak attack.

The passage continued for several dozen meters to the campfire area, which was also the encampment. There were many martial artists watching this area, and the campfires around them were crackling and burning.

However, most of the wood has already burned, and if more wood is not added, the flames will gradually weaken.

All the warriors watching the warriors busy in front of the building were secretly cheering them on, hoping to move the wood over so they could add it to the campfire.

Chen Mo and Ouyang Nan also joined the moving team. The two of them formed a separate group, which seemed a bit out of place with the other nine martial artists at the tenth level of the Acquired Realm. However, the two of them did not mind at all.

Of course, the two of them followed suit and also carried some flashlights. But in reality, they were of no use to Chen Mo and just a waste of electricity.

But we still have to put on a show, and Ouyang Nan is also needed.

"Amo, just leave it here, I'll carry it." Ouyang Nan knew that Chen Mo was a master of innate strength, so she didn't want him to do such a thing.

"It's alright," Chen Mo smiled, not minding at all. The passage was extending little by little, and the light was expanding. The warriors felt a little more at ease, as if as long as this fiery passage could connect to the camp area, they could safely get through this dangerous night.

But just as everything was going smoothly and everyone was gradually letting their guard down, a series of roars suddenly came from the darkness in the distance!

The sounds were sharp and piercing, rising and falling, as if countless vengeful ghosts were howling at the same time.

The expressions of everyone present changed. Judging from the roars, it was definitely not just one or two, but many! And based on the distance and direction of the roars, it seemed that many dark figures were moving rapidly towards this place from all directions, forming an encirclement!

Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing's expressions also changed drastically. They exchanged a glance, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes. But they didn't back down. Instead, Qian Ying turned to everyone and shouted, "Everyone, keep going! Don't stop! Speed ​​up!"

Upon hearing this, the martial artists, though fearful, dared not disobey. They quickly sped up their work, moving, stacking, and setting things ablaze in one smooth motion. The transport corridor was not yet complete, so its construction needed to be expedited.

But just as Qian Ying stopped the demolition work and turned to give instructions to the other martial artists, a sudden change occurred!

Inside the demolished building, a dark shadow shot out without warning! It was particularly conspicuous under the flashlight beam, its pitch-black body forming a dazzling contrast with the bright light. The shadow was incredibly fast, and almost the instant it appeared, it had already pounced on Qian Ying, its sharp claws carrying a stench, aiming straight for his throat!
"careful!"

Someone cried out, but it was too late. The dark figure had chosen an extremely tricky angle, catching Qian Ying off guard the moment she turned around, leaving her no chance to avoid it!

Fortunately, Zhou Zixing was there to cover the rear. When he saw the black shadow attack, he didn't have time to warn him. His figure shot out like lightning, his right palm wrapped with powerful innate energy, and struck the black shadow's side!

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, the dark figure was sent flying back, crashing heavily into the still-unfinished building behind him, sending wood chips flying everywhere. But what no one expected was that from the shadows on Qian Ying's other side, another dark figure rushed out, taking advantage of the moment Zhou Zixing intervened to rescue her, and launched a sneak attack on Qian Ying from another angle!
Their teamwork and coordination were like that of a well-trained assassin!
Qian Ying's pupils contracted sharply. He had already turned around, but he didn't expect another dark figure to attack from his side. So he hurriedly dodged to the side and blocked with his left arm.

With a "swoosh!" sound, the black shadow's sharp claws slashed across his arm. Fortunately, his innate domain activated in time, blocking the attack; otherwise, Qian Ying would definitely have been injured.

Qian Ying then twirled the innate short sword in her hand and thrust it out, instantly wounding the black shadow. She then kicked it, sending it flying.

At the same time, more and more dark figures emerged from the darkness!

They seemed to appear out of thin air, surging in from all directions. Some came from inside the buildings, some from behind the buildings, and some darted out from the darkness. In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen dark figures launched an attack at the same time, surrounding Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing.

"Damn it! How can there be so many!" Qian Ying roared, wielding his short sword, which transformed into a curtain of swords, protecting him completely.

He was reluctant to use his innate domain right now, merely enveloping himself in it. After all, night had only just begun, and if he overexerted himself with his innate energy, he might face even greater trouble later on.

Zhou Zixing's face was also ashen. His fists moved like dragons, each strike carrying the power to split mountains and shatter rocks, blasting away the approaching shadowy figure. Like Qian Ying, he also enveloped himself with his innate domain, without fully opening it, using it to trap the shadowy figure.

The shadowy figures seemed unafraid of being attacked or injured. Each shadowy figure, even after being smashed or knocked away, could still flip over and launch another rapid attack.

Furthermore, Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing also need to be careful when dealing with these shadowy figures. After all, if they cannot kill the shadowy figures in time, these shadowy figures can explode and use the corrosive liquid inside their bodies to attack all targets.

This is why Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing were somewhat hesitant when they made their move, and they tried their best to cover their entire bodies with their domains.
