Spirit cultivation and immortality, how do you control an aircraft carrier?

Clearly, as the gray fog gathered, the fog monsters in the surrounding area were being continuously attracted.

Moreover, this initial figure appears to be even higher than the previous night!

Shen Huang immediately realized the reason.

These past two days, he and Xiaowan have been constantly baiting and fishing here. Although they have cleared out a number of fog monsters, they have also attracted many others that have not yet been cleared out and are lingering and hiding around the area.

At this moment, however, they kept pouring in.

However, this is actually good news. As long as we are well prepared, these fog monsters will be nourishment for Xiao Yuan!

The battle commenced immediately.

Now that Shen Huang was free of trouble, he quietly activated his perception abilities to sense the battle of the guards.

The guardian spirits are mostly various weapons, primarily swords and knives, but also some hammers and axes.

Moreover, Shen Huang noticed that these guards all had a solid foundation in movement.

It wasn't just randomly brandishing a weapon; it was done with considerable skill.

It's not particularly beautiful, but it's sleek, simple, and efficient.

The guards utilized the unique characteristics of their respective spirits and their extraordinary physical abilities to a great extent. Even when surrounded, they were able to constantly move and shift, using the terrain to dodge and counterattack.

Clearly, these sophisticated combat strategies make their fighting capabilities significantly superior to the swarming fog monsters.

Even those mist monsters at the second level of the Transcendent Realm had little power to resist these guards.

It should be noted that their talents are only average; not even one of them is at the intermediate level.

The cultivation methods were also quite ordinary.

Shen Huang is only at the first level of the Transcendent Realm, but his physical abilities have already surpassed those of each of them.

However, he was able to make that determination after only a short, careful observation.

"In a duel with cold weapons, I might not be their match."

This immediately calmed down Shen Huang's restless desire for battle, which had been fueled by his soaring physical abilities after entering the extraordinary realm.

The first three levels of the Transcendental Realm only involve strengthening the body, without any mention of magic or similar techniques.

This means that skill plays a very significant role in combat.

Power generation, dodging, combat awareness, weapon usage skills... these are not things that Shen Huang could learn from a few boxing and free fighting techniques on his home planet.

Moreover, the skills at the extraordinary level are obviously different from those of ordinary people—many actions that ordinary people simply cannot do, are easily accomplished by spirit masters.

For example, Shen Huang just saw a guard spin and leap onto a tree trunk seven or eight meters high, then jump down, using gravity and recoil to slice a tree mist monster more than three meters tall in half horizontally.

This is a movement that ordinary people simply cannot do.

"Either you go practice your martial arts, or you shouldn't engage in close combat during the first three levels of the Transcendent Realm." Shen Huang confirmed this.

Of course, if you're at the same level, there's no need to worry. When your physical abilities completely overwhelm your opponent, technique won't be of much use.

Moreover, if cold weapons don't work, there are still firearms.

Shen Huang always held the M460, the most powerful revolver in the world, in his hand. The power of this pistol exceeded that of many rifles, and the terrifying recoil did not pose any pressure to Shen Huang at this moment. In addition, with his powerful perception and the strong control over his body after entering the extraordinary realm, he was able to hit any target he wanted to hit within ten meters during daytime training.

"I wonder what Xiao Yuan's attributes are, and whether she's suitable for combat." Shen Huang also had even higher expectations for Xiao Yuan.

In this world, combat ability is an essential source of security!

Time just kept flowing by.

Xiao Yuan's absorption of the gray fog has gradually reached its final stage.

With her precise reconnaissance skills, Xiao Wan found more than a dozen treasure monsters wandering on the edge of the area. She mixed them with many other ordinary fog monsters, sacrificed them together, and then refined them inside the area without anyone noticing.

After all, apart from Yin Kongtian, who looked down on these low-quality fog monsters, all the other guards were sacrificing themselves while killing the fog monsters, and they specifically chose fog monsters with higher cultivation levels and seemingly stronger strength. Xiao Wan's actions were perfectly normal.

The basic sacrificial rituals recorded in the Art of Spirit Control are basically known to everyone.

Seeing that the Spirit Awakening Ceremony was almost over, Yin Kongtian breathed a slight sigh of relief and smiled, "It seems that there won't be any mist monsters like Earth Spirits in the mid-stage of the Mortal Transformation Realm appearing tonight."

He wasn't afraid of just a few low-quality earth spirits.

Rather, it's a mist monster like a fourth-level mortal spirit that shouldn't be here at all.

But he seemed to be celebrating too soon.

Just as Shen Huang was about to say something, he suddenly stopped.

He had already received an urgent warning from Xiao Wan.

"Five earth spirits are charging towards us from the four o'clock direction!"

There really are earth spirits!

Shen Huang's heart sank.

Although he didn't know why the earth spirit had reappeared tonight, even with his understanding of this situation, he could tell that this was clearly abnormal.

This is just an area with thin gray fog; let alone fog monsters in the mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm, even those on the third level are rare.

Otherwise, the pavilions could not be established at all, and the protectors of those pavilions were only at the third level of the Transcendent Realm!

However, he did not show any unusual expression, and Xiao Wan should not have noticed it before Yin Kongtian.

Just a moment later, Yin Kongtian, who had been observing Xiao Yuan with great interest, wanting to see what kind of spirit creature she was, suddenly changed his expression.

The gray fog blocks spiritual awareness, but it does not block sound.

He could already hear the earth spirit's low growl and the heavy thud of its feet on the ground!

"How can there be five earth spirits?!"

Yin Kongtian looked in that direction, and his previously smiling expression turned visibly ugly.

The night before could be considered a coincidence, but including tonight, nearly ten fog monsters have appeared near the village that the pavilion alone cannot handle, and no pavilion has given any warning or asked for help!

The significance behind this is self-evident.

That was enough to shatter all of Yin Kongtian's illusions!

With a single step, he arrived within a few meters of Shen Huang in almost an instant.

"Junior Brother Shen, another earth spirit has arrived." Yin Kongtian's face was gloomy, but he raised his hand and handed Shen Huang something that looked like cowhide. "This is a protective talisman. If you are in danger, activate it by dripping your blood, and then stay close to me."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Yin." Shen Huang accepted the gift without ceremony, but seeing Yin Kongtian's expression, he also asked, "Even the earth spirits from the night before, you could kill them all in the blink of an eye, right?"

He naturally knew that such an illogical situation was not simple.

Based on the analysis and speculation of experts on Yin Kongtian's micro-expressions, it is very likely related to a "crisis"!

One of the key points in Zhou Yu's report was to obtain intelligence about the "crisis" as soon as possible!

Yin Kongtian made no attempt to hide anything and said in a deep voice:

"Earth Spirits, these mist monsters, are not uncommon in places with slightly denser spiritual energy. They are numerous. Although they are in the mid-stage of the Transcendent Realm, they are actually quite easy to 'create'. Just place several mist monsters made of grass, soil, stones, etc., at the third stage of the Transcendent Realm in a spirit-gathering array and force them to fight each other, and they may be born..."
