Some internal injuries cannot be seen, which is the most fatal.
"We're fine. Luckily Benfu and the others didn't run far, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to wait for me to arrive."
Han Changming chuckled and said that the outcome of a fight could be decided in an instant. Even if he was five breaths late, Han Benfu and others might still be killed.
"By the way, Chief, have you withdrawn the people from other islands? The scale of the beast tide this time is quite large. It may be that the Jiaolong Clan is seeking revenge for the poisonous Jiao and creating a beast tide."
Han Changming's face was solemn. He had read records of beast tides before, but didn't feel much. But when he saw the densely packed monsters attacking with his own eyes, the shock he felt was something that could not be expressed in words.
Ziyue Island has established a direct teleportation array with the three small islands. The cultivators stationed on the small islands can be teleported back at any time. No matter how fast the foundation-building cultivators can fly, they cannot compare to the teleportation array.
Han Changming had killed monsters on a deserted island before. Firstly, there were third-level monster birds there, and they could not outrun them; secondly, the skills he practiced were suitable for fighting on land, and he could take advantage of the terrain; thirdly, it bought time for the patriarch.
"Everyone has been evacuated back to Ziyue Island, including mortals."
Han Zhangxiang said in a deep voice that he would personally bring those mortals back to Ziyue Island and settle them in the small town on the island.
Mortals are the cornerstone of their future development. If conditions permit, Han Zhangxiang will not sit idly by and watch them being eaten by monsters. As soon as they arrived in the open sea to develop, a tide of beasts broke out. This is a challenge but also an opportunity.
Opportunities and challenges coexist, it depends on their strength. If they are strong enough, it is an opportunity; if they are not strong enough, it is a challenge.
The island protection formation, the Black Turtle Soul Guarding Formation, is of intermediate third grade. With a Jindan cultivator controlling the formation, it can hold its own against ten ordinary third grade monsters attacking at the same time. However, if a large number of low-grade monsters are added, that would be hard to say. Fortunately, they also have a third grade top grade formation, the Five Thunders Demon Slaying Formation. These two formations are worth more than two million spirit stones, especially the Five Thunders Demon Slaying Formation, a thunder-attributed attack formation with enormous power.
"Chief, what about the spiritual herbs and grains planted on the three islands? Have they all been harvested?"
Han Changjun asked casually.
"The beast tide is coming, why would I care about these things? After receiving Benfu's message, I immediately asked them to retreat. Anyway, they have only been planted for one year, and the age is not high. If they are gone, they are gone."
Han Zhangxiang glared at Han Changjun and scolded him bluntly, saying that the beast tide was very scary and there was no telling when the monsters would come to kill them. Han Zhangxiang did not hesitate and immediately withdrew his men and gave up the three small islands.
Han Changjun showed a sad expression on his face. He knew that the clan leader's approach was right, but there were a lot of spiritual fields on the three small islands. Even if there was only one year of harvest, it would still be a large amount of spiritual stones. There was no other way. The family was too poor. Han Changjun had already started a family, and his children stayed in Huludao. He hoped to open up the situation as soon as possible, develop the family, bring his children over, and reunite.
Ye Xin walked in quickly, looking nervous.
"Chief, the monsters have broken through the warning array and are heading towards Purple Moon Island. There are as many as five third-level monsters. This is what we have seen, and the number is still increasing."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the monks present became tense.
There are thirty-five cultivators on Ziyue Island, including more than ten foundation-building cultivators, two Jindan cultivators, and most of them are Qi-refining cultivators.
"Ye Xue, you must immediately organize your tribesmen to move the mortals back to the island. Ye Xin, you must set up a few more formations and be prepared for the island to be breached. Chang Xin, you must immediately organize your tribesmen to dig out the spiritual medicine. Chang Jun, you must fish out all the spiritual fish in the spiritual lake and try to minimize the losses."
Han Zhangxiang issued several orders in one breath. It was his first time encountering a beast tide. He thought of the worst and made the worst plan.
"Yes, Patriarch."
Ye Xin and others agreed in unison and took action separately.
"This is also an opportunity for us. We may be able to hunt down a group of demon beasts to earn resources for cultivation. This is faster than growing spiritual medicine to earn spiritual stones, and the profit is more substantial."
Han Changming said seriously, his face full of fighting spirit.
With two sets of formations, plus the Purple Crystal Flying Scorpion and the third-level puppet beast, Han Changming believed that they could cope with it. Their disadvantage is that they have few cultivators and not many high-level cultivators, but their advantage is that they fight on their own land, with both offense and defense. The advantage of the monsters is their large numbers, but their disadvantage is that they have no one to command and can only rely on instinct to deal with cultivators.
"Let's go out and take a look first! Find an opportunity to kill those powerful third-level monsters. Although there are many remaining second-level monsters, they are not to be feared. Let's go out and take a look first!"
After Han Zhangxiang said this, he turned into a red light and flew out, followed closely by Han Changming.
Not long after, they appeared above Purple Moon Island, and a pale yellow light curtain covered the entire Purple Moon Island.
Seeing the scene before them, Han Changming and Han Zhangxiang took a breath of cold air at the same time, and both of them looked solemn.
Dense swarms of demonic birds were circling in the sky, there were thousands of them. Not only that, ripples were appearing on the sea surface, and a large number of demonic beasts could be seen.
If they were in the Red Algae Sea, these monsters would be able to severely damage an immortal cultivation sect. In the open sea, the number of these monsters is not that large. It is said that a large-scale beast tide may number tens of millions of monsters, but the last large-scale beast tide broke out more than ten thousand years ago.
Moo!
A loud bull roar was heard, the sea water surged violently, splashing dozens of huge waves over a hundred feet high, and a huge beast emerged from the sea.
This is a huge azure manatee with circles of red patterns on its back, a three-foot-long red horn on its head, scarlet eyeballs, and a long tail swinging back and forth. It is a third-rank, top-quality monster, equivalent to a cultivator in the late Jindan stage.
The blue manatee's limbs were wrapped in a ball of blue light, and it stepped on the sea as if it were walking on flat ground.
"Fire-eyed sea cow! This beast has rough hide and thick meat. Its hide is an excellent material for refining inner armor. However, this monster is proficient in water and fire magic, so it is very difficult to deal with."
Han Zhangxiang said slowly, "The fire-eyed manatee has thick skin and flesh, and it is difficult to injure it with magic weapons. Unless it comes ashore, it will be difficult to kill it."
As soon as the words fell, the Fire-Eyed Manatee let out a loud roar, and the horn on its head lit up with a dazzling red light. After a flash of red light, a thick red light shot out and instantly hit the khaki light curtain.
There was a muffled "bang" sound, and the khaki light curtain remained motionless.
Soon, other monsters released spells to attack Purple Moon Island, and colorful spells came from all directions.
Dense spells fell on the khaki light curtain, and there was a dull sound of rain hitting banana leaves, and the light of the khaki light curtain seemed slightly dim.
If we sit back and do nothing and allow these monsters to attack the formation, no matter how strong the formation's defense is, it will not be able to stop them.
Han Zhangxiang and Han Changming looked at each other, nodded to each other, and each took out a glowing array plate.
Han Zhangxiang controlled the Black Turtle Soul Guarding Formation, and Han Changming controlled the Five Thunder Demon Slaying Formation. The two of them each entered several spells into the formation plates, and the two formation plates gradually lit up with dazzling light.
With a muffled "Zila" sound, a large silver arc of electricity emerged and enveloped the formation plate.
Countless silver arcs of electricity appeared in the sky above Ziyue Island, transforming into two-foot-long silver lightning arrows that shot out in all directions.
Wherever the silver arrow rain passed, a sharp sound of breaking air was heard in the void. The silver lightning arrows hit the low-level demon birds and suddenly exploded, turning into dazzling silver lightning, submerging the bodies of the demon birds. One by one, the low-level demon birds fell from the sky, their bodies were charred black and emitted a burning smell.
The silver lightning arrow hit the monster and exploded as well. The monster let out a series of screams, and the place hit by the silver lightning arrow was charred.
The monster beasts and birds either avoided or cast spells to fight back.
For a moment, there were continuous roars and all kinds of magical lights lit up in the sky, as if someone was setting off fireworks, brilliant and colorful.
Ye Xue was directing the tribesmen to relocate the mortals, letting them retreat to the depths of the island, which was more than fifty miles away. It was not easy to relocate more than 20,000 mortals more than fifty miles. There were old and sick people, newborn babies, and pregnant women who were about to give birth.
There were bursts of huge explosions coming from the sky. These mortals knew how powerful the monsters were, and they scrambled to escape, causing a stampede. Ye Xue did not hesitate and killed a dozen mortals who disobeyed orders. This made the situation better. Even so, the scene was still very chaotic.
Ye Xue had no experience in migrating mortals, so he could only organize his clansmen to transport the elderly and children to the designated location first, and the young and strong would be transported later. However, the Han family was short of manpower and the efficiency was very slow.
"Master, I am willing to help. More than 6,000 people are from our Qi family. I can command them to migrate."
Qi Dazhi walked over and said respectfully.
More than 6,000 people are from the Qi family. Qi Dazhi is the leader of the Qi family and he can command his family members.
Ye Xue thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, move faster, and don't let another stampede happen."
Qi Dazhi patted his chest and agreed, then ran back to organize the migration of his people.
Qi Dazhi quickly gathered all the Qi family members and divided them into twelve teams. The elderly and children walked in front, and the young and strong followed behind. They gathered the lost children and looked after the elderly and sick, all in an orderly manner.
Judging from the reactions of the Qi family members, they obviously have experience in this area.
There were more than 20,000 mortals, and Qi Dazhi commanded more than 6,000 Qi family members to migrate. Ye Xue's pressure was greatly reduced and the migration speed increased greatly.
A yellow turtle pattern appeared on the surface of the khaki light curtain. The yellow turtle kept moving around on the surface of the light curtain as if it were a living creature. Dense magical light struck the yellow light curtain, but the yellow turtle opened its mouth and swallowed it all. The khaki light curtain remained intact.
Han Changming controlled the Five Thunder Demon-Slaying Formation, releasing silver arcs of electricity, which struck the demon beasts and birds. There was a constant roar, and from time to time demon birds fell from the sky and landed in the sea, and low-level demon beasts competed to bite and tear them apart.
There were simply too many monsters. Even with two sets of third-order formations, Han Changming and Han Zhangxiang still found it very difficult.
Han Changming released the Purple Crystal Flying Scorpion and summoned the third-level puppet beast.
At this time, he didn't dare to hold back.
The third-level monsters and birds did not get too close to the Purple Moon Island. They released spells to attack the Purple Moon Island from a distance and drove low-level monsters to attack the Purple Moon Island to consume the mana of the monks stationed on the island.
The third-level monsters are not yet intelligent, but they have rich experience in hunting monks. They usually drive low-level monsters to consume the monks' mana. They will only rush forward when the monks' mana is almost gone.
The Amethyst Flying Scorpion opened its mouth and spewed out a large amount of purple miasma, which hit the monsters and birds near the Purple Moon Island. When the monsters and birds touched the purple miasma, their bodies struggled violently for a while, and then they lost their breath. The monsters and birds with wounds on their bodies turned directly into blood when they touched the purple miasma.
After reaching the third stage, the toxicity of the miasma spewed out by the Amethyst Flying Scorpion increased greatly, and it became even more toxic when it came into contact with blood.
Moo!
The Fire-Eyed Manatee let out a piercing roar, and all the red spiritual patterns on its body lit up. The sharp horns on its head burst out with a dazzling red light. The red light flashed, accompanied by a piercing sound of breaking through the air, and a thick beam of fire shot out, heading straight for the Amethyst Flying Scorpion.
At the same time, a loud bird song sounded from the sky. A giant green eagle with two heads flapped its huge wings. A green light flashed, and a three-meter-long giant blade shot out and instantly arrived in front of the Amethyst Flying Scorpion.
That’s not all, a large number of spells struck the Amethyst Flying Scorpion from all directions.
Han Zhangxiang's magic spell changed, and the yellow array plate in his hand suddenly lit up. A large piece of yellow mist suddenly emerged from the surface of the khaki light curtain. After a blur, it turned into a yellow shield more than ten feet high, blocking the Amethyst Flying Scorpion.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the yellow shield shattered into pieces and turned into dust. The Amethyst Flying Scorpion took the opportunity to avoid it, and dense magic light fell on the formation.
Han Changming frowned. In front of the huge group of monsters, the Amethyst Flying Scorpion was no match at all.
With a thought, the Amethyst Flying Scorpio flew back to Purple Moon Island.
"Chief, there are too many monsters. The formation can't hold them back for long. Reduce the range of the formation and let the monsters land on the island. I can then use my magic to kill them."
Han Changming said to Han Zhangxiang that if the monsters wanted to hunt them, they would definitely land on the island, and then these low-level monsters would die.
Han Zhangxiang nodded, and the spell changed. The khaki light curtain quickly shrank, revealing a large piece of land. A large number of low-level monsters, unaware of the trap, landed on the island and rushed towards Han Changming and others.
"Changming, I will be responsible for dealing with the low-level monsters in the south, and you will be responsible for dealing with the low-level monsters in the north."
Han Zhangxiang greeted Han Changming, and with a flip of his hand, a short knife with a glowing red light appeared in his hand.
There are not many third-level monsters, but there are too many low-level monsters. As long as a large number of low-level monsters are killed, this group of monsters will not be a threat.
A sharp knife sound was heard, a red light flashed, and dozens of extremely sharp red knife beams shot out, heading straight for hundreds of low-level monsters.
There was a loud sound of breaking air, and the low-level monsters were like tofu, with dozens of red sword beams piercing their bodies, turning them into a bloody rain all over the sky.
However, soon, a large number of monsters emerged from the sea and climbed onto the island. These monsters gathered together densely, fearlessly and continued to rush towards Han Zhangxiang.
Han Changming stomped his right foot hard on the ground, and the ground shook violently like an earthquake. Sharp yellow earth spears broke out of the ground and stabbed at the monsters that landed on the island. Some monsters had thick skin and flesh, and they directly broke the yellow earth spears.
But soon, a large number of yellow earth spears broke out of the ground, endless.
Dozens of demon birds swooped down from the sky, and all the yellow earth spears on the ground flew up and hit the demon birds. After a burst of screams, more than a dozen demon birds fell from the sky.
For a while, there were constant roars, blood dyed the ground red, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. This in turn stimulated the animal nature of the low-level monsters, inducing them to rush onto the island.
Han Changming and Han Zhangxiang cast spells to kill low-level monsters while controlling the formation. When the distance was far, they used spells to attack them, and when the distance was close, they used the formation. Whenever the monsters or birds approached within thirty feet of the khaki light curtain, countless silver arcs of electricity would shoot out and hit them.
The monsters seemed to be endless and could not be killed. Just as Han Changming and Han Zhangxiang killed one batch, another batch of monsters landed on the island. Their magic power was severely depleted and their faces turned pale.
Han Changming was better off, as he had the Spirit Gathering Stone to restore his mana, so he could hold on for a long time. However, Han Zhangxiang did not have the Spirit Gathering Stone to restore his mana, so most of his mana was consumed.
"We can't go on like this! Changming, let's kill those third-level monsters first, otherwise we won't be able to kill all the lower-level monsters."
Han Zhangxiang frowned and said that at this time, there were already thirteen third-level monsters surrounding the Purple Moon Island. It was precisely because of the existence of these third-level monsters that the second-level monsters would continue to land on the island, fearless of death.
To catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. As long as they get rid of the third-level monsters, those second-level monsters will not be able to attack them all the time.
"Dad, we are here to support you."
Han Benfu and others flew over, their eyes determined.
"How is it going? Have all the mortals been settled?"
Han Zhangxiang asked without turning his head, while waving the red dagger in his hand, releasing dozens of red blade beams, chopping hundreds of low-level monsters into pieces, and blood flowed all over the ground.
"Everything has been settled. Brother Changjun is looking after the mortals, so there won't be any trouble."
Ye Xin replied, looking at the densely packed monsters with a nervous expression.
"Madam, you guys control the formation. Just make sure it doesn't get broken. The clan leader and I plan to kill that fire-eyed manatee."
Han Changming gave instructions and put away the spirit gathering stone.
Ye Xin agreed. Their numbers were too small, and being able to protect themselves was already good enough. If there were enough people, they could also help kill low-level monsters.
Han Changming and Han Zhangxiang turned into two beams of light and flew out of the island protection formation. As soon as they flew out of the formation, dense spells fell from the sky and hit them.
Han Changming was not in a hurry. He shook his sleeves and a thick earth shield flew out. It instantly grew larger and flew around them.
A large area of dazzling yellow light appeared on his body surface, and after a blur, it turned into a thick armor, which was the Qianyang Armor.
Han Zhangxiang also put up a defense for himself. It is better to be cautious.
Dense spells hit the thick earth shield and exploded one after another. The colorful spell lights submerged the figures of Han Changming and Han Zhangxiang.
Not long after, a strong wind blew up in the magical light, and the light completely dissipated.
A yellow flag with a flashing light was suspended above Han Changming and Han Zhangxiang's heads, releasing a yellow hurricane to protect them.
A few yellow lights appeared on the head of the Fire-Eyed Manatee, and turned into a yellow hand several meters in size, which quickly clapped down.
The third-level puppet beast opened its mouth and spurted out a thick yellow beam of light. Wherever it passed, it made a sharp sound of breaking through the air and hit the fire-eyed manatee.
