Not long after the group of practitioners evacuated, the beast tide arrived in the swamp.
The group of monsters that formed the beast tide had red eyes, and they stepped over the lizards and crocodiles in the wetland without hesitation, chasing after the group of cultivators fleeing. Although the lizard crocodile is the overlord of the swamp and wetland in this area, it can't stop so many monsters. They sneaked into the swamp one after another to avoid the trampling of the beast tide.
The shock caused by the beast tide was getting closer and closer, and the fleeing cultivator looked back, and his scalp went numb just by looking at it.
Compared with the small beast horde that chased Mu Ziming and the others when they met Mu Ziming before, this time the beast horde actually had tens of thousands of monsters, flying in the sky and running on the ground, covering the sky and covering the earth.
They don't even have two hundred people here, even if they have Yuan Zongjing masters, they can't resist so many monsters.
Seeing this scene, those cultivators who originally wanted to use the aircraft to escape suddenly stopped thinking.
Although the speed of the flying machine is fast, its target is too big, it is easy to attract the attention of the monsters flying in the sky, and it will become the first target of the monsters to attack.
The aircraft cannot be used, and a group of people can only fly away with the aircraft.
"Go!"
Qin Hongdao yelled sharply, letting the cultivators of the Yuanling Realm lead the way, while she stood at the end, unscrupulously releasing her spiritual consciousness, trying to find a safe place to avoid the beast tide.
There are too few of them, it is unwise to face the beast horde directly, the best way is to find a safe place to hide and avoid the beast horde.
Everyone ran forward with all their strength, and behind them was the beast horde that was getting closer.
"Chichi!"
Although the movement behind him became louder and louder, the ground shook, and there was an almost viscous tense atmosphere in the air, everyone's emotions were affected by it, and their nerves were tense. But Wen Qiao was still in the chaotic voice, and heard the "chichi" cry from below.
Wen Qiao poked her head out of Ning Yuzhou's arms, and soon saw the big hairball following the fleeing practitioner.
The big fur ball is just like the first time I saw it, rolling on the ground like a big fur ball, the speed is not slow at all. It can't fly, its limbs are hidden under the thick fur, looking down from mid-air, it's just a big rolling fur ball.
At this time, all the cultivators were flying with their weapons, high or low, and flew forward, but it seemed that the big flightless furball on the ground was following them pitifully.
But the big hairball didn't feel sorry for itself, it kept following Ning Yuzhou, and when Wen Qiao looked at it, it also chirped happily at her, those blue eyes were particularly moist, as if inlaid in the Sapphires in white fur.
Wen Qiao fell silent after hearing what it said.
She really didn't expect that this big furball came to find her.
Qin Hongdao's consciousness expanded around, looking for a safe place, but he didn't ignore the situation on the ground. Naturally, he found the big fur ball rolling with them below, and asked in surprise: "What is this?"
After being reminded by her, other practitioners also noticed the big hairball, and they were immediately surprised.
Although the big hairball doesn't look like a monster, everyone didn't doubt it. After all, there are tens of thousands of monsters in the world. It is said that in ancient times, there were many monsters that cultivators didn't know about.
The disciples of Scarlet Heaven Sect told Qin Hongdao about how it bravely defeated the ninth-level lizard crocodile and played with Fairy Liuyun just now.
After hearing about the big furball, Qin Hongdao felt that the big furball was amazing, but she didn't do anything.
Now look at this big furball again. The burrs on its body that can pierce the scales of ninth-level monsters have turned into soft long silver hairs. cute. More importantly, it is an existence that can even be played with by the ninth-level lizard crocodile and Yuan Zongjing practitioners. It shows its strength. When everyone saw it running with them, they not only did not object, but welcomed it.
Especially the disciples of the Scarlet Heaven Sect, they really like this big fur ball.
Although they didn't know where this big hairball came from, why did they help them, if it hadn't appeared in time and helped them block the ninth-level lizard crocodile and Fairy Liuyun, they might not have survived Qin Hongdao's arrival.
Seeing the big hairball following them all the time, the disciples of the Scarlet Heaven Sect were worried that it would not be able to keep up, and thought about whether to help it, but they were also worried that it would misunderstand them and be harmful to it, what should they do if it turned into a hairball and stuck them
However, after observing it for a while, it was found that although it was a big furball, it was not moving slowly. It followed them steadily, and even when they speeded up, it did not leave the team.
This furball is really powerful.
The beast horde had come a mile behind them.
Everyone didn't have the mind to pay attention to other things, they just wanted to find a safe place before the beast horde came.
However, as far as the eye could see, it was surrounded by a flat plain, and even if there were mountains, they were low hills, and there was no hiding place that could block the beast tide. This made everyone very nervous, so they could only continue to move forward and try their best to shake off the beast tide behind them.
Wen Qiao nestled in Ning Yuzhou's arms, and could feel the beast tide getting closer behind him.
She was injured by Fairy Liuyun's Liuyunsha. Although she had swallowed the elixir and honey cream, her injury was still serious, and she would not recover in a while, so she could only run away with Ning Yuzhou in her arms.
Fortunately, the disciples of Scarlet Heaven Sect and Qin Hongdao took good care of the two of them, protecting them around and not letting them fall behind.
If it wasn't for Ning Yuzhou's insistence on his daughter-in-law to hold her by herself, I'm afraid that other people would have taken them separately.
Yi Xuan was also injured, but he was a cultivator in Yuanling Realm, so he could hold on to some extent, and he didn't need to bother other people, just followed them closely.
Sheng Yunshen was nervous about the beast tide behind him while paying attention to the injured people. Seeing Yi Xuan's pale face, he couldn't help but feel worried again.
"Watch the road, don't be distracted." Yi Xuan said.
Sheng Yunshen approached him, "Second Senior Brother, do you want me to carry you?"
Yi Xuan glanced at him and said nothing.
It was obvious that he didn't believe him.
Suddenly, Wen Qiao flipped his hand and summoned the stone golden python to whip, and swung the whip over, rolling up the big fur ball that was rolling with them all the way on the ground.
The big hairball was rolled onto the flying sword by her without the slightest struggle.
It was stuck to the other end of the flying sword like a big fur ball, and everyone else was a little worried, whether this big fur ball would turn into a huge hedgehog ball again, stabbing Ning Yuzhou and the others.
"Little Junior Sister, be careful." Sheng Yunshen called out worriedly.
Although he was very grateful to the big hairy ball for helping them earlier, this ball-like monster didn't know what kind of monster it was, why it helped them just now, and the burr was so powerful that it had to be guarded against.
Just when everyone was worried, the big fur ball stuck to Ning Yuzhou's flying sword yelled happily at Wen Qiao.
Wen Qiao and Ning Yuzhou didn't speak.
Everyone paid attention for a while, and found that the silver-white hair on the fur ball did not mean to turn into burrs, and finally felt relieved.
The beast tide is getting closer and closer to them.
The cultivator who was running away accidentally looked back and saw the group of beasts composed of all kinds of monsters, with red eyes, chasing them madly as if losing their minds, and was startled again, not caring about wasting Yuan Ling He tried his best to escape forward.
"Chi Chi Chi ~"
Seeing that the beast horde was approaching, the fur ball stuck to Ning Yuzhou's flying sword chirped again.
It's a pity that everyone is busy running for their lives now, so they don't pay attention to the chirping of this big fur ball. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't help it, because they couldn't understand what it was calling.
Only Wen Qiao understood the meaning of the big hairball.
It told her that it knew there was a safe place nearby from the beast horde.
After the big hairball left Zhu Xianlinghua's valley, it has been wandering outside and is quite familiar with the surroundings.
Wen Qiao thought for a while, then decided to let the elder sister take them there, and immediately sent a voice transmission to Qin Hongdao: [Eldest sister, go to the southeast, there is a stone forest there, and there is a stone cave under the stone forest for hiding.]
When Qin Hongdao heard her words, he was stunned for a moment, and then turned around without hesitation. Luck told other practitioners: "Everyone, go southeast, there is a stone forest there."
Qin Hongdao took the lead in turning around and heading southeast.
The other cultivators were busy running for their lives, Wuxia thought too much, seeing Qin Hongdao turning around, they naturally ran along.
However, after they ran for a while, all they saw was a piece of low hills, and there was no stone forest at all.
Even at this moment, the animal horde was less than three hundred feet away from them.
"Senior Qin, where is Stone Forest?" Someone couldn't help asking anxiously.
In normal times, no one would dare to ask such a rude question to a real person like Qin Hongdao, but how could they care about this because their life and death were at stake
Qin Hongdao's expression was slightly cold, and he said in a low voice: "It is ahead, there is still a distance."
Although the others still had doubts, the horde of beasts behind them left them with no other choice, and it was too late to turn around, so they could only follow Qin Hongdao and the others tremblingly.
However, they complained about Qin Hongdao, if they couldn't find a place to hide, they would be overwhelmed by the tide of beasts, and it would be impossible to survive safely among the tens of thousands of crazy monsters.
Qin Hongdao ignored those people. She believed in her brothers and sisters unconditionally, and she didn't doubt Wen Qiao's words at all. Even if she still couldn't see the stone forest Wen Qiao mentioned, she didn't complain. Trust her very much.
Fortunately, when the beast horde was only a hundred feet away from them, they finally saw the stone forest.
When they saw the stone forest clearly, the practitioners present were desperate again.
This stone forest is only one mile in size, so it can only be called a small stone forest, how can it stop the beast tide
Before reaching the stone forest, Qin Hongdao's spiritual sense explored the stone forest, and soon found the stone cave that Wen Qiao mentioned.
There are other caves under the stone forest, all of which are naturally formed stone caves, and there are even quite a few, with passages extending in all directions inside, which are perfect for resisting the beast tide.
She said pleasantly: "Everyone, there is a cave under the stone forest, go in quickly."
Everyone was overjoyed, with these stone caves, it would not be a problem to block the beast tide.
A group of people flew into the stone forest, and soon saw the entrances of some caves hidden in the stone forest, big and small.
They picked a not-so-big cave and flew into it.
After all the cultivators entered, Qin Hongdao, who was at the end of the hall, moved a huge stone to seal the entrance, and then chased those who entered the cave, and went with them to the depths under the stone forest.
Not long after they entered the cave, the beast tide finally reached the small stone forest.
People hiding in the stone cave can feel the vibration from the ground, the terrible sound of vibration, there is no need to investigate specially, and they also know that those monsters must have razed the stone forest on the ground to the ground, and even some smaller monsters And the birds followed into those caves and flew towards where they were.
Fortunately, these monsters have fallen into madness, without the slightest sense of sanity at all. After destroying the stone forest on the ground, they continued to run forward.
The cultivators hiding in the underground caves killed the monsters that broke in from other cave entrances.
The monsters that broke in were not many, and their strength was not strong, so they were easy to deal with.
Although there are eighth and ninth-level monsters in this beast tide, they are too big to break in, and they just keep moving forward.
The disciples of Scarlet Heaven Sect escorted the injured to a safe cave in the innermost place, allowing them to rest.
Ning Yuzhou spread a soft blanket on the ground, and carefully put Wen Qiao down: "Ah, how are you?"
With a pale face, Wen Qiao smiled at him, "I'm much better now."
Ning Yuzhou caressed her pale face pitifully, and lowered his eyes.
The others also found a place to sit down, waiting for the beast tide above to pass.
The stone cave they were in was very deep from the ground, but they could still feel the vibration of the beast tide passing by, and they were terrified. At the same time, they were glad that Qin Hongdao led them to find this cave, so that they could escape safely.
It wasn't until the shock above receded that the people who had been tense all the time relaxed.
After finding them safe, everyone hurried to check on those injured.
Those who were injured were all covered in red bumps after being exposed to the red mist sprinkled by Fairy Liuyun. They scratched off those red bumps, and they were covered in blood, looking horrific.
They were too busy running for their lives before, and didn't care about these people, but now that they are safe, they hurriedly took out the detoxification pill and stuffed it into their mouths.
However, after a while, the condition of these people did not improve. The red bumps still grew out after being scratched, and did not disappear.
"what to do?"
"What kind of poison is this?"
"I didn't expect Fairy Liuyun, an upright cultivator, to use poison."
…
In desperation, they went to ask a few Qing Yunzong disciples who escaped with them.
The Qing Yunzong disciple looked blank, "We don't know, we haven't touched this thing before."
"Could it be the Qidan that Uncle Cen researched?"
Cen Baicao of Qingyun Sect is a heaven-level alchemist. It is said that he likes to study some heretical Qidans. If it is something he researched, it is normal that ordinary detoxification pills cannot be solved.
In the end, they could only find Ning Yuzhou.
They have all heard the name of Ning Yuzhou genius of Scarlet Heaven Sect, and they think he should be able to solve it.
Ning Yuzhou was also straightforward, and gave them a few detoxification pills made from honey fat. Sure enough, after those people took the detoxification pills, the red bumps on their bodies finally began to fade.
After a while, Qin Hongdao from the back of the palace came back.
Qin Hongdao glanced at the cave, and found that the cave was quite large, and there were several smaller caves inside. The disciples of Scarlet Heaven Sect rested in one of the caves.
Seeing her return, the cultivators who had questioned her before stood up with shame on their faces, thanked her for her help, and felt uneasy, worried that Qin Hongdao, the real Yuanzong, would anger them.
Qin Hongdao is an upright person, and he would never take his anger out on others for such a trivial matter, "You don't have to thank me, just thank my junior sister if you want to thank me, my junior sister told me about this place."
A group of people went to thank Wen Qiao again.
Nie Shenxuan asked with a smile: "Thanks to Miss Min, how did you find out here?"
During these days, they all acted together and had never been to this place, so they couldn't help but wonder how Wen Qiao found out.
"I've been here before." Wen Qiao said concisely.
Everyone was stunned and quickly accepted the explanation.
Although the beast tide seemed to be over, none of the people present left in a hurry. They found a place to sit down and rest, and talked about the beast tide one after another.
"The beast horde this time, wouldn't it be the work of those demon cultivators again?"
"I think it's possible. I haven't heard that there will be a beast tide in the Thousand Islands Secret Realm before."
"That's right, when we met the fellow Taoists of Qingyun Sect, didn't they say it was the work of those demon cultivators?"
"But the previous wave of beasts was just a small wave, but this time there are tens of thousands of monsters. If these demon cultivators really did it, what method did they use to drive these tens of thousands of monsters crazy?"
Generally, the formation of beast hordes is due to the monster beasts losing their sanity for some reason and heading towards their target. Wherever they pass, any living beings and plants are destroyed by them, and their destructive power is very strong.
Because these monsters have no sanity and don't know pain, they just advance and kill blindly. They are very difficult to deal with. The most troublesome thing for cultivators is the beast tide.
But every time a beast horde appears, there is a reason, usually because of some natural treasures, or driven by demon cultivators, rarely because of man-made. If that group of demon cultivators could really create a horde of medium-sized beasts, the consequences would be dire.
The faces of the people present were a little dignified.
They are all disciples of the famous sect in the Shengwu Continent, and they hate the demon cultivator deeply. At the same time, they are also worried that the demon cultivator has the means to control the monsters, which will be detrimental to the righteous forces.
Not long after Qin Hongdao joined them, he was busy fighting with Fairy Liuyun and didn't understand the situation. Now that he heard what these people said, his expression became serious.
Every time the Qiandao Secret Realm is opened, some demon cultivators will be mixed in, but this time the demon cultivators' methods are quite generous, and they can suspect that those demon cultivators may want to take advantage of the secret realm to kill them disciples of the righteous sects. Conceal the power of righteousness.
There is no doubt that Moxiu can really do this kind of thing.
Compared with snatching the treasures they obtained from the secret realm, it is more beneficial for the demon cultivators to directly kill the elite disciples of the righteous sects and reduce the strength of the righteous way.
