Chapter 387: Bulk Buys Fill the Belly
Chapter 387: Bulk Buys Fill the Belly
Over at the Celestial Sword Sect, thanks to Lu Chen's strategic planning and suggestion to use sonic attacks, they were able to maintain their ground despite the relentless waves of demon beast puppets.
Things weren't going as smoothly for the Wanbeast Sect and Lingxiaozong.
As time passed, casualties began to mount.
Lingxiaozong had the most cultivators remaining in the camp, and their strength was relatively stronger. The Wanbeast Sect, with their ability to control and manipulate demon beasts, took advantage of their opponents by surprise, vying for control of the beasts and barely maintaining a balance.
Lu Chen and the other Celestial Sword Sect cultivators tacitly kept the sonic strategy to themselves, not sharing it with their allies.
Although the three sects had joined forces to open this new blessed land, their cooperation was only superficial. Within the blessed land, they maintained a more antagonistic relationship.
Lu Chen sliced a demon beast puppet in half with his sword, and his spiritual sense swept through its body, finding no trace of the aberrant Tuyin Silk within the hollow shell.
"Could it have completely merged with its host?" Lu Chen mused aloud. Just as he was about to head towards a fellow sect member, the Yaoguifen, shrunk and hidden within his robe, suddenly tugged at his waist.
A sense of caution arose within him, and the Divine Spirit Diagram in his mind rippled slightly, enhancing his spiritual sense considerably. It extended deep into the ground.
A second wave of demon beasts was approaching! There were more of them, and their ranks were higher. Among them were quite a few demon beast puppets that had been fourth-grade demon beasts in their previous lives.
Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat as he condensed his spiritual power into a thin line and transmitted his voice to Feng Yu and the others.
"Be careful, everyone. More demon beasts are coming!"
Before long, hundreds of demon beast heads shot out from the fissures like lightning, sweeping through with their beastly winds and shaking the mountains and the ground. Each one charged towards the cultivators of the three sects with unparalleled ferocity.
"Everyone, hold on a little longer! The sect's experts will be here to aid us soon!"
In the camp, the cultivator with the highest cultivation among those left behind from the three sects reminded them unanimously.
Lu Chen's Wind and Thunder Sword howled with black wind, forming black whirlwinds as it slashed down. Within the black wind were countless sharp sword auras, and lightning flashed intermittently, shredding the nearby demon beast puppets to pieces.
Suddenly, a demon beast covered in black spines caught Lu Chen's attention.
The beast resembled a massive black ball, constantly expanding and contracting. Hundreds, if not thousands, of black spines trembled all over its body, like arrows ready to be fired.
A deafening boom!
The demon beast exploded in mid-air, and the sharp black spines, under the impact of immense force, turned into a rain of arrows, indiscriminately piercing towards the cultivators and beasts in the camp.
"A full-scale, dead-angle suicide attack!"
Lu Chen cursed inwardly at the Tuyin Silk controlling this black ball beast. His powerful spiritual sense captured the trajectory of the black spines, and he executed the Fuguang Body Technique with impeccable timing, dodging the downpour of spines.
The rest of the cultivators weren't so fortunate.
Among the Celestial Sword Sect members, one of their sect members was severely injured by the explosion of the spiny demon beast.
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief after the black ball beast exploded, four or five similar beasts drilled out from underground and flew into the air, spinning at incredible speeds while their bodies expanded and contracted.
"May fortune be with you all!" Lu Chen transmitted his voice once more. His essence blood ignited within his body, and he cultivated the Taixu Hualong body refining technique, causing layer upon layer of dark red scales to emerge on his body. His pupils turned erect, and his gaze became extremely detached.
After instantly boosting his defense to the highest level, Lu Chen didn't hesitate for a moment. The soil beneath his feet turned into flowing water, swallowing him whole.
Upon his promotion to inner sect disciple, Lu Chen had chosen to cultivate the Great Five Elements Technique to better nurture spiritual plants. This technique included the Five Elements Escape Technique.
Upon returning to the surface, Lu Chen inhaled a breath of fresh spiritual energy and extended his spiritual sense to survey his surroundings.
"There are demon beasts here, but not in large numbers. Judging by their movements, they seem to have lost their autonomy and are being controlled by the aberrant Tuyin Silk."
"I wonder how many people from the camp managed to escape, including Feng Yu and the others, as well as the cultivators from the other two sects." Lu Chen mused as he toyed with a small jade sword talisman in his hand.
The number of demon beasts in the camp was increasing, and with the emergence of those willing to act as explosive beasts, it was clear that the camp could not be defended. At this point, preserving their lives was the top priority.
The small sword talisman left to him by the Foundation Establishment cultivator, Gu Jiankong, was a trump card Lu Chen didn't plan to use just yet. Instead, he decided to explore this unknown blessed land on his own first.
With his own abilities, he was confident he could handle several late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. If a strong enemy appeared, he could always use the talisman to summon a helper.
As Lu Chen thought, a slender fissure opened in the sky, and a Void Nightmare Eye, controlled by his spiritual sense, emerged to patrol the area around him.
"Demon beasts are approaching!"
An eye also appeared on his palm, displaying the vision of the Void Nightmare Eye.
In the eye's view, five or six demon beast puppets were approaching, including the black ball beast he had seen in the camp earlier.
"Shoot it down! Long spear!"
With no other cultivators around, Lu Chen no longer held back. He took out the White Bone Demon Puppet, a fourth-grade magical artifact. With a thought, the artifact transformed into a grayish-white bone spear that extended and instantly reached the fastest demon beast puppet, a demonic bird.
The demonic bird puppet tried to dodge, but the bone spear changed direction and pierced its head, impaling the entire creature.
Even so, the demonic bird puppet continued its relentless charge towards Lu Chen.
Lu Chen coldly huffed, and the bone spear inside the bird instantly fragmented into countless bone spurs, shattering the puppet into innumerable small pieces that fell to the ground, forming a thick layer.
After effortlessly disposing of the demonic bird, several other demon beasts circled around from different directions.
Lu Chen remained unfazed. The White Bone Demon Puppet transformed into various shapes in the air, attacking and blocking with ease as it countered the combined assault of the demon beasts.
Unbeknownst to him, the spherical demon beast covered in black spines had drawn closer. Its body expanded and contracted as if ready to explode at any moment.
"Stop dilly-dallying. Let me light you up," Lu Chen thought.
Five crimson stone beads flew out of his storage bag, and the surging lava within them erupted simultaneously, creating a sea of crimson flames with a radius of several dozen meters.
The spherical demon beast was instantly reduced to black ash in the face of this terrifying flame attack.
"This is what you call countering an explosion with an explosion," Lu Chen said with a raised eyebrow.
Thanks to the ripe Flame Fruits, he had obtained quite a few third-grade Explosive Flame Pearls from the light group. What others considered treasures, he treated like toys.
Having already mastered the method of condensing the Flame Fruits' seeds, and given the high probability of obtaining Explosive Flame Pearls from the light group, Lu Chen had no qualms about using them liberally.
"Come out, Xiao Teng Teng. Today, I'll let you try a buffet of demon beast spiritual plants. Eat to your heart's content!"
A gray vine flexibly slithered out from Lu Chen's sleeve.
