The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3288 Daytime Sneak Attack

Qian Ying did not allow Qian Wantong to inform Chen Mo and the others.

However, the screams of the dark figure who had just attacked and killed someone could be heard on the platform more than 100 meters away.

The five people turned around at the same time, but because they were inside the house, they couldn't see what was happening. However, they saw two figures flash by and rush into a house on one side.

"It's two Innate Elders," Ouyang Nan said, looking at the figures. Their urgency meant something must have happened inside the house.

"Amo, listen, isn't it because they were ambushed by the shadowy figure?" Ouyang Ruoxi stood beside Chen Mo, looking at the platform in the distance that was somewhat low. A large group of people had suddenly retreated from the house. Although it was quite far away, the martial artist with the strength of the ninth level of the Acquired Realm could still clearly see that these people were acting somewhat frantically.

"Yes, very likely!" Chen Mo nodded. Judging from the situation, there must be a dark figure inside the house, which is why these martial artists retreated in a panic, leaving space for the two innate elders to deal with the dark figure.

After watching for a while, Chen Mo noticed that the martial artists below seemed to have re-entered the room, indicating that the shadowy figure had likely been dealt with by the two innate elders. Therefore, Chen Mo said to the other four, "Let's ignore them and start preparing the wood for tonight."

"Okay!" The group nodded in agreement and followed Chen Mo to the center of the small platform. Looking at the surrounding houses, Ouyang Nan asked, "Amo, is the amount of wood we prepared the same as last night?"

"Well, we don't need to prepare that much. We overdid it last night. About half of what we prepared last night is enough," Chen Mo replied after estimating.

Yesterday, because he demolished the building too quickly, he collapsed one side of the house, so there was a lot of wood removed. Ouyang Nan and the other two women prepared very carefully, chopping all the wood into firewood and even piling it up inside the house. They also built a large pile of wood for a campfire outside the house, but in the end, they didn't use it.

Finally, this large pile of wood was smashed to pieces during Chen Mo's battle with the shadowy figure, leaving it scattered and messy on the small platform.

So tonight, just make sure you're mostly ready.

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he flashed to the door of a house on the side, turned to the four of them and said, "The four of you stand back to back and don't move. Just be on guard. Also, light the torches you prepared."

The four men nodded, put down their backpacks, took out torches they had made earlier from the firewood they had brought, lit them, and stood in the middle of the platform, holding a weapon in one hand and a torch in the other.

Chen Mo secretly used a talisman to protect all four of them before turning around, picking up a bundle of wood and placing it beside him. He then began using the jade sword he was holding to attack the array protecting the door.

In just a few dozen seconds, the barrier collapsed amidst flashes of light.

When Ouyang Bei saw the light emanating from the collapsing barrier, he was immediately dumbfounded.

What did he see? Was the protective barrier of this house so easy to break? Could it be that the two innate masters who broke the barrier took more than ten minutes because the barrier was very strong and therefore difficult to break?

However, even before he left the team, he had participated in the mission of breaking through the barrier. A simple partition wall took nearly twenty people to attack in turn, and it took them about half an hour to destroy its protection.

So now the protective barrier here has been so easily destroyed? Could it be that the barrier was already destroyed long ago, and is just lacking a little attack before it collapses?
Chen Mo naturally ignored what Ouyang Bei was thinking, pushed open the door, and slipped into the main hall, throwing the lit pieces of wood one by one against the wall.

The wood was coated with a flammable substance, which is why it was lit and thrown directly into the house. The flammable substance itself was naturally prepared in advance in the Qiankun bag. As for Ouyang Ruoxi and the others' questions about flammable materials, it was clear that they had been prepared long ago.

As for why there are so many, it's because they naturally carry a lot.

One by one, the pieces of wood were thrown against the wall, dispelling the darkness inside the house. Finally, when the entire bundle of wood was thrown away, light filled the house from all sides.

"Amo, be careful," Ouyang Ruoxi warned as Chen Mo was about to enter the room.

"Don't worry," Chen Mo replied with a smile, then slipped into the room to work on the partition walls. This was mainly to eliminate the shadows in the partitions and prevent the shadows from having any hiding place.

But at that moment, two dark figures suddenly appeared on the roof beam and rushed straight at Chen Mo.

However, while the two dark figures were fast, Chen Mo reacted even faster. After all, his divine sense extended three and a half meters, so the moment the figures entered his range, a flash of dark light appeared, and a black hole appeared on their foreheads. Before the two figures' claws could even touch Chen Mo's clothes, their bodies had already fallen to the ground with a thud.

The commotion inside the room reached Ouyang Ruoxi and the others, whose expressions changed: "Amo, what's wrong?"

"It's alright, I've taken care of those two little guys!" Chen Mo replied immediately.

Hearing Chen Mo's voice, Ouyang Ruoxi and the others were somewhat relieved.

"Amo, be careful," Ouyang Nan also shouted a warning.

“Okay!” Chen Mo replied.

He kicked the two dark figures, frowned, and wondered why the dark figures had reappeared during the day.
Why didn't the shadowy figures appear yesterday? It seems there are probably even more shadowy figures within this array barrier. The appearance of these shadowy figures here is likely because they were already hidden here, and their entry attracted their attacks.

The commotion on the platform below was probably caused by the sneak attack from the shadowy figure.

Thinking of this, he suddenly appeared at the doorway and said to the four people, "Be careful and keep your guard up. Light some wood and put it around the room. There may be shadowy figures in the room."

The four men immediately set to work, arranging the firewood they were carrying in a circle and then lighting it to prevent a sneak attack from the shadowy figure.

Chen Mo then went to the other houses he hadn't entered, and easily broke through the barrier with his jade sword to enter.

Sure enough, every house contained a shadowy figure, though the number varied. Some houses had three, others only one. But every house had one, and he was attacked by one whenever he entered.

Unfortunately, these shadowy figures were not the fused monsters, so how could they possibly be a match for Chen Mo?

Anyone who attacks him dies instantly. As long as they get within three and a half meters, they can use their divine sense to control the Soul-Chasing Nails and kill the shadowy figures one by one.

After exploring all the houses, he returned to the first house that had been opened, quickly broke down the partition wall, and used Onimaru to chop all the wood into pieces of firewood. After making sure nothing was missing, he turned around and went outside.

He also threw the two murdered figures onto the small platform.

"Alright, come in now. I've almost finished taking care of things here."

"Okay!" the four agreed, used their weapons to push aside the wall of flames, and then filed into the house.

"Get ready, I'm going to go next door to demolish the house, and then I'll bring over some wood for you to chop up."

"it is good!"

Chen Mo flashed to other houses and threw out the black figures he had killed, piling them up together.

Then he quickly dismantled the adjacent room, taking very little time. He moved all the pieces of wood and sections of doors and windows into the house.

Upon seeing it, the four men immediately took it and began chopping it into sections with their weapons to make it easier to pile up and burn.

Time slipped by quietly as they busied themselves.

Two hours later, all the wood was prepared, even the wood to be carried tomorrow was bundled up and set aside, so that there was no need to prepare it tomorrow morning, and each person could just carry a bundle.
