However, the monster tide's offensive was as fierce as an overwhelming tidal wave, with wave after wave of monsters fearlessly attacking the defense line.
Under the continuous impact, dense cracks began to appear on the ice wall, making a heart-pounding "cracking" sound, as if it would collapse at any time.
Although the members of the hunting team cooperated well and fought hard, they gradually showed signs of fatigue in the face of such a surging tide of beasts.
Their arms were sore and numb from wielding weapons for a long time, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down their foreheads, soaking their clothes.
At this extremely critical moment, several senior monks in the tribe rushed over.
They looked solemn and hurried, shouting as they ran: "Quick, activate the protective formation!"
I saw these monks quickly take their positions, with orderly spacing between each other, forming a mysterious formation.
They formed seals with their hands quickly like phantoms and muttered something, and the obscure spells echoed in the night sky.
As they moved, complex and mysterious runes slowly emerged on the ground. The runes emitted a soft light, which became brighter and brighter, interweaving together to form a huge array of light.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Qiong and the others immediately understood what was meant, and without hesitation, they worked closely with the monks of the tribe, continuously injecting their own spiritual power into the formation.
Jiang Qiong concentrated all his energy, mobilized the surging spiritual power in his body, quickly circulated it along his meridians, and then transferred it to the ground through his feet, merging into the shining formation.
Veins bulged on his forehead and beads of sweat rolled down his face, but his eyes were extremely determined.
Nan Fengxue was also fully focused. She integrated the ice spiritual power into the formation in a unique way, making the formation not only have powerful defensive capabilities, but also emit bursts of biting cold, making the approaching monsters shiver.
Lang Nana injected fire spiritual power into the formation. The fire spiritual power roamed in the formation and blended with the ice spiritual power, generating a magical power that made the formation even more powerful.
After the formation was activated, a majestic and powerful force instantly enveloped the entire tribe.
The originally crumbling ice wall was strengthened by the power of the formation, as if it had been reborn.
The cracks healed quickly, and the ice wall became stronger and thicker, sparkling with crystal light, like an indestructible crystal barrier.
The power of Lang Nana's fire spell has been enhanced to an unprecedented level due to the amplification of the formation.
The flames were like roaring beasts, rushing madly towards the group of monsters with the momentum to destroy the world.
Wherever the flames reached, large groups of monsters were instantly devoured, making miserable cries, and the air was filled with a sickening burnt smell.
Under the influence of the formation, Jiang Qiong's star sword energy became even more powerful.
Sword Qis were flying around like meteors cutting through the night sky, carrying with them brilliant light and powerful force. Wherever they went, monsters were turned into dust, leaving behind only flying sand.
Under the protection of the formation, the tribe's defense line gradually stabilized. Although the monsters were frantic, they were like hitting a solid wall and could not break through the defense line.
They launched attacks again and again, but were repelled again and again, leaving behind corpses on the ground.
However, the monsters seemed tireless and continued to flock to the tribe one after another. The scene seemed to have no end.
Time passed quietly in the fierce battle. After a long and fierce battle, the offensive of the monsters finally gradually weakened.
They seemed to realize that they could not break through this powerful defense and began to waver and retreat.
As the first monster turned around and fled, more and more monsters began to follow. The originally surging tide of monsters finally receded, leaving only a devastated battlefield.
The battlefield was littered with corpses of various monsters, blood had dyed large areas of sand red, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.
After the battle, the sky was already slightly bright, and the morning sun shone on the exhausted but relieved people.
The people of the tribe cheered. They cheered for this hard-won victory and were grateful that they could protect their homes.
Although Jiang Qiong and others were exhausted, their legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and they had some scratches and bruises on their bodies, they all had relieved smiles on their faces.
They knew that this victory belonged not only to them, but to the entire tribe.
The leader of the hunting team came forward, his eyes full of admiration and gratitude. He held Jiang Qiong's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice:
"Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, our tribe would be in real danger this time. Your bravery and wisdom are the key to our victory."
Jiang Qiong smiled and waved his hand, saying: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. The tribe's protective formation also played a huge role, and everyone worked together to successfully repel the monster tide."
People from the tribe gathered around and looked at Jiang Qiong and others with gratitude and admiration.
After the battle, the sky was already slightly white, and the dawn light gently fell on this land that had just experienced the baptism of war.
The morning sunshine was like a gentle hand, soothing the exhausted but pleased people.
The people of the tribe cheered, and their cheers echoed in the empty desert for a long time.
These cheers are filled with joy for this hard-earned victory, and even more so, gratitude for being able to continue protecting their homeland.
Although Jiang Qiong and the others were extremely tired, their legs seemed to be filled with lead and every step they took was extremely heavy, and they had scratches and bruises of varying sizes on their bodies, some of which were still bleeding, but they all had relieved smiles on their faces.
They knew in their hearts that this victory did not belong to individuals, but was the result of the concerted efforts of the entire tribe.
The captain of the hunting team had red eyes, and walked forward quickly with admiration and gratitude. He held Jiang Qiong's hands tightly with both of his hands, and his voice trembled slightly due to his excitement:
"Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, our tribe would be in danger this time. Your bravery and wisdom are the key to our victory."
Jiang Qiong smiled, waved her hand gently, and said sincerely:
"This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. The tribe's protective formation played a huge role at the critical moment. Moreover, everyone worked together in the battle and shared a common hatred of the enemy, so we successfully repelled the ferocious tide of monsters." The people of the tribe gathered around, their eyes full of gratitude and admiration. The children's eyes flashed with admiration, and the adults kept saying words of thanks. Those sincere eyes were full of gratitude for surviving the disaster and gratitude to Jiang Qiong and others.
Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, the monks of the tribe quickly took action and began to clean up the remnants in an orderly manner.
They knew very well that if the corpses of these monsters were not dealt with in time, it would very likely cause a terrible epidemic, plunging the tribe into a new crisis, and might even attract other stronger and more ferocious monsters.
First, they organized a group of experienced and skilled hunters. These hunters had been working in the desert for many years and were familiar with the habits and body structures of various monsters.
Holding extremely sharp knives that glowed coldly, with focused and determined eyes, they carefully sorted the corpses of monsters lying all over the battlefield.
Those monsters that are smaller in size and have tender and delicious meat were carefully selected. They will become the tribe’s valuable food reserves in the near future and help the tribe replenish the physical strength consumed by this battle.
However, those monsters that are huge in size and have thick skin and flesh require more special treatment methods.
As the hunters approached the corpses of these giant beasts, their steps were steady, their movements were swift and cautious, and the knives in their hands danced flexibly, cutting the tough flesh with precision.
Although their faces still showed fatigue after the battle and sweat kept dripping from their foreheads, the focus and determination revealed in their eyes made people feel their responsibility and commitment to the tribe.
The skillful women of the tribe showed their skills in preparing the flesh and blood of monsters suitable for pickling.
They skillfully cut the monster meat into even-sized, regular pieces. Each piece of meat was just the right size, showing their superb knife skills.
Then they sprinkle it with special salt that they have painstakingly collected from deep in the desert.
This salt is light beige in color, with small and uniform particles. It not only has strong preservative properties, allowing meat to be preserved for a long time, but also contains unique minerals in the desert.
The moment the salt comes into contact with the monster meat, a wonderful chemical reaction seems to occur, adding a unique, indescribable flavor to the pickled meat.
As the women sprinkled salt, they whispered to each other about pickling techniques. Their voices were soft and warm, slowly echoing in the fresh morning air, bringing a rare touch of warmth and tranquility to this land that had just experienced war.
The pieces of meat are then gently placed into special pottery jars, which are carefully fired by tribal craftsmen using fine clay from the desert through multiple processes.
The surface of the pottery jar is painted with mysterious patterns that symbolize peace and prosperity of the tribe. It has good sealing properties and can perfectly preserve the flavor of the meat.
After the pottery jar is sealed, it is carefully buried underground, waiting for time to slowly ferment. In the darkness underground, the meat will slowly transform into delicious food, providing security for the future of the tribe.
As for the fresh monster meat that needs to be stored, the monks of the tribe cleverly use the low temperature of the desert at night and the ventilation conditions during the day.
They found a natural cave in the desert. The cave was located on the leeward side of the mountain. The surrounding environment was dry and well ventilated.
The monks built special racks in the cave. These racks were made of hard wood from the desert and had a specially treated surface to make them smooth and strong.
They carefully hang the fresh monster meat on the racks, keeping an appropriate distance between each piece of meat to ensure smooth ventilation.
At the same time, a simple but effective magic circle was set up at the entrance of the cave. This magic circle was carefully drawn by a monk in the tribe who was proficient in runes. It can absorb the cold air of the desert night and maintain a low temperature environment in the cave, so that fresh meat can remain fresh for a long time in such an environment.
In order to ensure the freshness of the meat, the monks would use spiritual power to nourish the meat from time to time.
They formed seals with their hands and injected gentle spiritual power into the meat to slow down its deterioration. These spiritual powers were like the guardians of life, allowing the meat to always maintain its fresh taste and rich nutrition.
In addition to flesh and blood, precious materials from the monsters were also carefully collected one by one.
The fur of some monsters is extremely tough and covered with mysterious lines. These lines seem to be mysterious codes written by nature.
They are excellent materials for making defensive armor, which can provide powerful protection for the wearer.
The monks use special tools. These tools are of strange shapes and are specially made according to the characteristics of the fur of different monsters. They can protect the integrity of the fur to the greatest extent.
They carefully peeled the fur off the monster's corpse, their movements gentle and focused, as if they were performing a sacred ritual.
The stripped fur is soaked and cleaned in a solution made from a mixture of desert-specific herbs and mysterious potions. These herbs and potions emit a unique aroma and can effectively remove blood stains and odors from the fur.
The washed furs are hung in a well-ventilated and sunny place. In the breeze, the furs flutter gently, waiting for further processing. In the future, they will be made into strong yet light armor to protect the tribe's warriors in battle.
The bones of monsters are as hard as iron and sparkle with a metallic luster, making them excellent materials for refining magic weapons.
The monks carefully collected the bones and classified them according to their size and shape.
Those complete large bones, which are thick and strong, are placed individually on special storage racks. These large bones will be used to make the frames of large magic weapons, giving them strong supporting force and stability.
The small bones are placed in special grinding equipment, and the monks use their spiritual power to grind the small bones into fine powder. These powders can be used to refine pills, help practitioners improve their strength, or be used to enhance the properties of magic weapons, making them more powerful.
There are also some inner elixirs of monsters, which contain powerful and pure spiritual power and are treasures that practitioners dream of.
These inner elixirs come in various shapes, some are round and smooth, like precious gems;
Some of the surfaces are covered with mysterious runes, exuding a mysterious aura.
The monks put the inner elixir in special jade boxes. These jade boxes are carved from rare jade in the desert. The jade is warm and delicate, and can perfectly preserve the spiritual power of the inner elixir from being lost.
Each jade box has been carefully designed, and the lid is engraved with runes related to the properties of the inner elixir. These runes are not only beautiful, but also have a powerful sealing effect, ensuring that the spiritual power of the inner elixir is firmly sealed in the box.
In the process of dealing with the monster corpses, the leader of the tribe personally selected some of the most precious flesh and materials, and came to Jiang Qiong and others with gratitude.
He had a sincere and warm smile on his face, and his eyes were full of gratitude, as if Jiang Qiong and the others were the tribe's reborn parents. (End of this chapter)
