The Great Wild God - Chapter 372
Chapter 372 Sea Of Beasts Conspiracy
At the beach valley camp, there were three sides surrounded by mountains, one side of the sea, and several building boats lying horizontally on the grass beach.
Chen Xun, Venerable Cold Moon, Shao Xi Kang, and Song Xuan Yi came out of the stone house and flew out of the defensive formation. They floated up to a height of 1000 feet-they were covered in thunderclouds, and they didn’t dare to fly any higher. Tens of thousands of mirages stopped in front of the tiger-shaped mountain forty miles away. They were as dense as ants and didn’t intend to continue south for the time being.
“What’s going on with these demonic beasts? Could it be that they want to wait for the vortex of clouds to dissipate before coming towards us?” Song Xuanyi could not figure out the intentions of the Mirage Beasts of the two races, so he looked at Chen Xun and Shao Xi Kang in puzzlement.
Shaoxi Kang’s expression was a little ugly.
The Kaiyang Valley was only two hundred kilometers away from the Beach Valley camp. They could see the enormous copper pillar of lightning in the center of the valley gathering violent and dazzling lightning. The vortex of lightning clouds on the Kaiyang Valley did not show any signs of dissipating.
Although the Azure Scaled Clan and the Crimson Star Demons had all suffered from the Copper Pillar of Thunder earlier, and thousands of people had died under the enormous lightning dragon and endless lightning waterfall, they were even more afraid that the lightning vortex would suddenly dissipate.
As the thunder vortex existed, the Copper Thunder Pillars in the Yang Opening Valley continued to gather violent lightning, allowing three mirages to cultivate their True Body Forms. They followed hundreds of powerful beasts that were comparable to human Origin Core Realm cultivators and did not dare to enter the range of the Copper Thunder Pillars.
No need to face three mirages, no need to face hundreds of powerful exotic beasts that were comparable to human Origin Core Realm cultivators. No matter how many ordinary mirages there were, the Beach Valley Camp Formation could barely cope with them.
Once the lightning vortex dissipated and Mountain Long returned to its original state, Shao Xi Kang didn’t dare to imagine how serious the consequences would be.
Chen Xun lowered his head and looked at the beach valley camp beneath his feet. Nineteen Azure Scaled Demon Generals and twenty-seven Origin Pill Taoist were spared in this fashion, but the Origin Core in their bodies had already dissipated, and their cultivation had drastically decreased.
Including Chen Xun and Venerable Cold Moon, their cultivation had all fallen into the Heaven Origin Realm.
Apart from the seventy plus Heavenly Yuan cultivators, there were also nearly six hundred Reincarnation Realm disciples who were spared.
The vast majority of them had managed to escape this calamity by arranging for them to stay at the beach valley camp.
However, looking at their gloomy expressions, Chen Xun knew that although they had managed to escape this calamity by luck, they did not have much hope of escaping from Mountain Long.
Leng Yue looked at Chen Xun and asked, “Lord Cang Lan, how many people do you take out of your immortal’s cave?”
Song Xuanyi also looked at Chen Xun. He had led the disciples of Dragon Gate Sect and had been invited by the Crimson Star Palace to enter the Mountain Long Calendar for more than ten years. He had obtained very little. He hoped that he could leave this place as soon as possible, and didn’t want to create any complications.
The previous casualties had already taught him a lesson. No matter how mysterious the treasures in Long Mountain’s forbidden area were, he still had to have a life to retrieve them.
Even though he didn’t fear the difficult path of cultivation, it didn’t mean that he knew that he was going to die, but he still had to break through it forcefully.
Venerable Cold Moon’s attitude was also very clear. She wanted to retreat, but as one of the three Venerable Scarlet Star Palace experts who claimed to be a righteous sect, no matter how badly injured she was, there was no reason for her to leave hundreds of disciples behind and escape alone.
The Nine Dragons Pavilion City had been destroyed. Everyone knew now that only Chen Xun’s cave magical artifact could take so many people away at once.
Chen Xun spread out his hands. In the battle of the Thousand Devil Sand Sea, Countless people watched as two thousand archers walked out of the Void Origin Pearl. There was no need to hide anything. He took the Void Origin Pearl out of his bosom and released a green glow in mid-air. He said, “My cave magic tool is called the Void Origin Pearl. There is quite a lot of space inside. With so many people, I can still store it. However, the Void Origin Pearl is not as offensive and defensive as the God Refining Pagoda. I’m afraid Mist Sea might not be able to survive it.”
Leng Yue, Song Xuanyi, and Shao Xi Kang were worried about Chen Xun, but they still couldn’t open their mouths and say that they would borrow a treasure like the Void Origin Pearl to take a closer look.
They also believed that Chen Xun had no need to lie. If the Void Origin Pearl was as capable of both offense and defense as the God Refining Tower, approaching the level of a Pure Yang Dao Weapon, Chen Xun would not be able to hold back in the battle in the Thousand Devil Sand Sea.
Hearing Chen Xun’s words, Leng Yue frowned slightly.
Apart from the thunder clouds blocking the sky, there was also the Serene Lightning Restraint in the deep water near the Long Mountain, preventing humans and beasts from stealthily approaching the Long Mountain from the seawater.
Crossing the Misty Sea was the most convenient way to enter Mountain Long, but it was impossible for everyone to enter the Void Origin Pearl. There had to be someone holding the Void Origin Pearl to cross the Misty Sea.
The thunder clouds that covered Mountain Long were less than a hundred feet away from the surface of the sea, and the huge waves were more than a hundred feet tall without moving.
From the looks of it, Chen Xun wouldn’t give the Void Origin Pearl to anyone else. However, even at this moment, she wasn’t confident. Leng Yue even suspected that Chen Xun, who had dispersed the Origin Core, had the strength to bring everyone out of the Mist Sea with the Void Origin Pearl.
If he accidentally triggered Long Mountain’s lightning restriction, Chen Xun’s fate of being unable to escape death was secondary. Unfortunately, the Void Origin Pearl was sucked into the lightning clouds, and everyone else would be trapped within the Void Origin Pearl for the rest of their lives …
************************
Chen Xun and the others were scratching their brains and discussing how to leave the mist sea when the Mirage Beast that was dozens of miles away finally made a move.
Hundreds of thousands of mirages did not advance towards the camp, but instead poured into the Kaiyang Valley like a tide.
“What are these demonic beasts doing?” Shaoxi Kang asked in shock.
“Are they going to use beast sea tactics to forcefully break through the Yang Palace?” Song Xuanyi asked in surprise.
Tens of thousands of Mirage Beasts let go of the Beach Valley camp and poured into the Yang Opening Valley, obviously trying to forcefully break through the Yang Opening Palace.
The Azure Scaled Demonic Maiden’s God Refining Tower destroyed Lonely Peak, exposing not only the copper pillars of lightning, but also the palaces in the center of Kaiyang Valley that covered an area of more than a thousand mu.
Previously, the Kaiyang Palace had been completely buried at the bottom of Lonely Peak. As long as the defensive restrictive sphere was extremely narrow and only a few zhang square, it would be able to stop foreign enemies from invading.
Even if the number of Mirage Beasts was extremely large, they were still unable to execute their beast sea tactics within such a narrow range.
At this moment, the buildings of the Kaiyang Palace could also be said to be completely exposed. The defensive surface of the palace had suddenly expanded from a doorway that was several zhang square to a radius of a thousand zhang. Beast sea or sea of people tactics were the most limited means to forcefully break through the Yang Palace.
Leng Yue’s expression was also a little ugly. She hadn’t expected that the Scarlet Star Sea and the Azure Scaled Demon Clan would actually marry the Mirage Beast after planning for so long.
The hundreds of thousands of Mirage Beasts didn’t directly press down as everyone had imagined, but instead stopped at the edge of Kaiyang Valley.
Leng Yue, Song Xuanyi, and Shao Xi Kang all looked at each other, not knowing what the Mirage was up to.
Chen Xun sighed softly and said, “Mirage is also a Spirit Race, but it is much more resourceful than I imagined.”
Song Xuanyi glanced at Chen Xun, wanting to ask him what he saw, but after a moment of hesitation, he didn’t say anything.
Beach Valley Camp was too far away from Yang Valley. From afar, one could only see the blurry shadows of the beasts. Leng Yue waved her hand and condensed a huge mist mirror, clearly reflecting the situation in Yang Valley.
Soon, the crowd saw more than a hundred mirages marching towards the center from the edge of the Kaiyang Valley. As they approached the Kaiyang Palace, they stopped. From the mist mirror, they could clearly see that the more than a hundred mirages formed some sort of mysterious formation, and the demonic energy leaking out of their bodies slowly gathered in the air.
“They’re actually going to use the Copper Lightning Pillars to break the restrictions of the Yang Opening Palace!” Shaoxi Kang said in shock.
The hundred plus mirages weren’t considered very powerful, but the aura of the hundred plus mirages that formed the Heavenly Yao Array was far stronger than Origin Pill Taoist’s. It was enough to trigger the Copper Thunder Pillar’s senses and lure the lightning dragon down.
Soon, Shaoxi Kang’s guess was confirmed. The lightning at the top of the copper pillar of lightning flickered, and the shadow of a lightning dragon quickly took shape. It buried its head in the Heavenly Demon Array beneath its feet. After the earth trembled, the lightning dragon turned into an abnormally violent lightning waterfall with tens of thousands of bolts of lightning covering more than a hundred mirage beasts and the southern region of Kaiyang Palace.
The huge commotion in the direction of the Yang Opening Valley instantly caused the Tan Valley Camp to boil in panic. All of them flew out of the defensive restrictions and looked in the direction of the Yang Opening Valley.
Although the Copper Lightning Pillar was located in the center of the Kaiyang Palace, it was not integrated with the formation restrictions of the Kaiyang Palace.
The cultivators who flew into the air were all dumbfounded. They were stunned. They didn’t expect that the Yang Opening Palace restriction that they had spent more than ten years without breaking would be forcefully broken by the lightning dragon released by the Mirage Beast using the copper pillar of lightning.
“What should we do?” Everyone looked at Venerable Leng Yue, Shao Xi Kang, and Chen Xun.
Previously, everyone had wanted to leave Mountain Long, but seeing that the restriction of the Kaiyang Palace’s formation had been broken so easily by the Mirage Beast, they couldn’t help but feel greed in their hearts.
From the Copper Thunder Pillar, it was not difficult to guess how precious the ancient treasures hidden in Kaiyang Palace were.
It took them more than ten years to enter the Long Mountain, wasn’t it just waiting for today?
Leng Yue’s heart thumped.
Mirage was even more powerful than Primordial Core Daoist’s demonic beasts. They didn’t dare to enter the range of the copper pillar of lightning. No matter how many mirages there were, it would be difficult for them to pose much of a threat.
They could organize over a hundred cultivators above the Heaven Origin Realm. With the help of eight mountain and river chariots and four profound lightning chariots, they could charge into the Kaiyang Valley unexpectedly, snatch three or five rare treasures, and then consider leaving the Long Mountain.
Shao Xi Kang looked at Chen Xun and asked, “What are we going to do?”
Venerable Leng Yue had suffered heavy injuries and her cultivation had dropped to the early Heaven Origin Realm. However, her reputation was still there. The hundreds of disciples of the Crimson Star Palace that had escaped were all following her. However, if she really wanted to forcefully break through the Yang Valley and steal food from the Mirage Beast’s mouth, Shaoxi Kang was more optimistic about Chen Xun.
Chen Xun was naturally interested in the ancient treasures hidden in the Kaiyang Palace. However, if all of the disciples present today were disciples of the four sects, Chen Xun would never take this risk. No matter how precious the ancient treasures hidden in the Kaiyang Palace were, they were not worth taking this risk. However, since the Crimson Star Palace and the Green Scales Clan did not hesitate to suppress their greed and wanted to take this risk, why did Chen Xun say no?
Even if something unexpected happened, Chen Xun still had the means to save his life, so he didn’t need to take responsibility for others.
Chen Xun shrugged and said, “We are all grasshoppers tied to a rope. You can do whatever you want.”
