Chapter 620: Besieged
An hour later, everyone had rested enough and were about to get up and move forward when they suddenly heard Qingyang shout, "No, something happened to the alcoholic bees in the east. Everyone, get ready."
Ordinary alcoholic bees are inconspicuous in places like Yinfeng Gorge where monsters are everywhere. They usually don't attract the attention of monsters. Even if they are accidentally encountered, few monsters will embarrass the alcoholic bees. Therefore, Qingyang used alcoholic bees to be responsible for vigilance before, and there has never been any mistakes.
But this time, the monster killed the alcoholic bee as soon as it appeared, which means that the other party came prepared. It is very likely that they have discovered their group and knew that the alcoholic bee is their spy, so they solved the alcoholic bee so neatly.
There are towering trees all around, and only the place where they rest is an open space. The incident happened too suddenly, and the alcoholic bees didn't have time to pass on the news. Therefore, Qingyang only knew that the alcoholic bees were in trouble, but he didn't know how many enemies there were and how strong they were. What he could do now was either to prepare for battle or to escape from another direction.
Before the five people decided whether to fight or flee, Qingyang's face suddenly changed, and he said: "It's not good. The alcoholic bees in the west, south, and north have lost contact one after another. What should we do?"
At this time, even a fool can understand that the five of them have been surrounded by the enemy. They can kill the alcoholic bees on all sides at the same time without being discovered by them. The strength of the opponent should not be underestimated, and they are ready to besiege them here and annihilate them.
The other four people's faces also changed drastically. This mission is indeed not so easy. They dare not delay any more. They lean back and prepare for battle.
Sure enough, just as they were ready, there was a movement in the surrounding dense forest. Suddenly, dozens of wind wolf monsters came out and surrounded them in the middle.
Among this group of wind wolves, there are three of the fifth level, five of the fourth level, and the rest are almost all of the second and third levels. The wind wolf is good at spitting wind blades, which is extremely useful for dealing with alcoholic bees. No wonder it can solve the alcoholic bees on alert around it with one move.
A fifth-level monster is equivalent to a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. In the previous melee in the valley, among the five of them, only Xiong Jianlin relied on his brute force and Nong Zaitian relied on his profound cultivation and knowledge to barely hold back the fifth-level monster. The others did not have this ability.
Moreover, Xiong Jianlin and Nong Zaitian could only remain undefeated for a short period of time. As for winning, there was no possibility. Now three fifth-level monsters appeared at once. Wouldn't this kill them? Not to mention that there were so many low-level monsters nearby, which were eyeing them covetously. This was trouble.
Facing a powerful enemy, hesitation is useless. As the one with the highest cultivation among the five, Nong Zaitian was quite decisive. He gritted his teeth and said, "At this critical moment of life and death, everyone should not hold back. Shang Ruhai and Xiong Jianlin, the three of us are the strongest. We should try to hold back all the fourth- and fifth-level monsters, and try to buy time for Junior Brother Qingyang and Junior Brother Cai to kill the low-level monsters. Only when they are free, can we have hope of winning."
The situation at the scene is clear at a glance. With only the three of them, they have to hold back three fifth-level and five fourth-level monsters. Each of them will get at least one fifth-level and one fourth-level. If they risk their lives, they can barely do it, but it is hard to say how long they can hold on.
Even so, there are fifty or sixty first-, second- and third-level monsters left, which are not easy to deal with. The number of low-level monsters is too large to be solved by strength alone. Junior Brother Qingyang and Junior Brother Cai have just broken through the foundation building stage, and I am afraid they do not have this ability. If the two of them delay for a little longer, Shang Ruhai and others will be in danger, and everyone will suffer by then.
But this is the only way now. Shang Ruhai smiled bitterly and said, "It can only be done this way. I will try my best. Junior Brother Qingyang and Junior Brother Cai, it depends on you."
After Shang Ruhai finished speaking, he suddenly rushed forward and activated a talisman to throw at a fourth-level Swift Wind Wolf opposite. At the same time, a huge abacus suddenly appeared above his head and smashed towards the fifth-level Swift Wind Wolf closest to him.
Shang Ruhai's strength at the second level of foundation building is about the same as that of the fourth-level Swift Wind Wolf, but it is far worse than that of the fifth-level Swift Wind Wolf. However, if he risked his life, he could barely deal with the two monsters. His abacus is also a rare spiritual weapon, which has both offensive and defensive capabilities. It should not be a problem in a short period of time, but it is hard to say in a long time.
While Shang Ruhai was holding back two monsters, Xiong Jianlin was also holding back three Swift Wind Wolves. The two giant hammers were used in turn, and the fifth-order Swift Wind Wolf on the opposite side was beaten back step by step. If it weren't for the interference of the other two fourth-order Swift Wind Wolves, Xiong Jianlin might have won a small victory.
But that was all. Xiong Jianlin's strength was not higher than Shang Ruhai's. He was able to hold back three monsters entirely by relying on his natural divine power and powerful double hammer spiritual weapon, which just restrained the monsters' strong attack and defense. Such a battle is very burdensome to the true essence and divine consciousness, and it cannot last long. Maybe Xiong Jianlin will be defeated faster than Shang Ruhai.
Nong Zaitian also held back three Swift Wind Wolves. He was a third-level foundation-building cultivator. Although he was still a certain distance away from the middle stage of foundation-building, his strength was higher after all. With his many years of combat experience, it was no problem for him to deal with a fifth-order Swift Wind Wolf and two fourth-order Swift Wind Wolves at the same time.
But Nong Zaitian's strength is limited after all. It is true that he is easier than Xiong Jianlin and Shang Ruhai. There is almost no possibility of winning by defeating three monsters. That is, he can drag it out longer than the other two. The key to victory depends on the performance of Qingyang and Brother Cai.
Brother Cai is also very clear about this. He immediately sacrificed his spiritual weapon and attacked the monsters on the opposite side. The monsters above the fourth level were dragged by the other three. He only needs to face low-level monsters of the first, second and third levels, and he can play to his heart's content. In just one stick of incense, he killed several first- and second-level monsters.
As for the third-level Swift Wind Wolf, not even one was killed. The third-level monster is equivalent to the late-stage Qi Refining cultivator. Among them, those who have practiced for a longer time can even be comparable to the perfect Qi Refining cultivator. Brother Cai is just a foundation-building cultivator who has just broken through not long ago. Under the siege of a large group of monsters, it is not easy to kill the third-level Swift Wind Wolf.
The same is true for Qingyang, but his real strength is much stronger than Brother Cai. If he can use the Four Elements Sword Formation or the Five Elements Sword Formation, he will be no worse than Nong Zaitian.
In the previous battle in the valley, Qingyang retained his strength and only used the Qingmu Sword to carry out conventional attacks. He knew very well that in such a chaotic situation, using all his strength without leaving any way out was simply seeking death.
