Chapter 1965: Three Teams Meet Up
When Qu Jianlei thought that all the demons in the surrounding area had been eliminated, others were really not sure.
At least the Thousand Hands Immortal looked at him doubtfully, "Is this... okay?"
"It's okay, I'll give you a basic understanding," Qu Jianlei said lightly.
He said it very easily, but Qianshou Zhenxian secretly commented in his heart, this... is a bit arrogant.
However, it is a good thing after all. "So let's go and meet them?"
"Let's clean up the remaining demons," Qu Jianlei answered casually.
There were indeed some lone demons, whose escape routes were blocked by Feng Wangyi and Duan Dao, so they could not escape no matter how hard they tried.
However, when it comes to dealing with this kind of single demon, cultivators have too many methods to use.
In addition to light-attribute spells, there are also lightning spells that can also effectively kill.
There are thunder cultivators in both teams - when exploring the void, it is necessary to ensure the diversity of magic techniques. In addition, some people have thunder and lightning talismans.
But even so, everyone was still extremely cautious when killing the demon.
Ji Xiaohua and Li Yuren both rushed out of the warship, but before attacking the demon, they put on multiple layers of defense for themselves.
Even though the single demon left was below the Golden Core level, the two of them were extremely careful.
After all, there are too many strange things about the demon, and we don’t have much experience in dealing with it, so we really have to be on guard against it.
Even so, a Jindan-level demon completed a leap in the void and attacked Li Yuren.
Li Yuren was extremely frightened, but fortunately he remained calm and used a palm thunder to smash the demon into pieces.
Palm thunder was not his basic magic skill, so its power was slightly lacking. He added two more attacks before he completely killed the demon.
He couldn't help but sigh, "Damn it, it can still jump without a space layer!"
Most cultivators have heard that the celestial demon can hide in the interlayer of space. After encountering the celestial demon, everyone also exchanged information.
However, there is no interlayer in the void, and it is the first time he has heard that the demon can jump through space.
Ji Xiaohua was not far from him. He was also shocked when he saw this scene. "Space jump, not escape?"
Li Yuren thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "Maybe... I killed a demon-possessed Jindan?"
Apart from that, he really couldn't understand why this demon gave up on escaping and chose to attack him instead.
"Maybe... it's a fight to the death," another divine sense came, and it was Qu Jianlei who appeared.
He struck a few times casually, and flashes of lightning appeared. The demons turned into nothingness in an instant like boiling water poured over snow.
"Huh, it's actually a thunder cultivator!" Li Yuren said in surprise. He could feel that the other party's thunder method was much stronger than his.
In addition to the three Yuanyings, Feng Wangxi and Duan Dao, the laser beams fired from the regimental-level ships can also cause effective damage to the demons.
Soon, all the demons were cleared out, and everyone checked carefully for a while.
Broken Blade was the first to leave the battlefield. It flashed, and a flash of black light disappeared directly on Qu Jianlei's body.
The other Nascent Souls couldn't help but look at him but didn't say anything.
Obviously, everyone was a little confused. Although this broken sword was magical, there was no need to refine it into a life-saving magic weapon, right?
However, who knows what is going on? Anyway, it is not convenient to ask.
Compared to the unruly Broken Knife, the huge Tree Robber behaves very submissively.
Although all the demons have disappeared, it still stays quietly in the void without any movement.
Qu Jianlei informed Ji Xiaohua that the three warships could come out of the tree hole and that he was going to take the tree tribe away.
Ji Xiaohua made arrangements immediately without any hesitation.
However, seeing the huge trees disappear in an instant, he couldn't help but ask, "Is this... a space layer?"
There is no way. Feng Wangxi’s body is too big and cannot be stored by ordinary space equipment.
Qu Jianlei smiled slightly and did not answer, thinking to himself, how could you not know that there cannot be spatial layers in the void?
"Don't be..." He Jiuling also popped his head out. What he was thinking about was the out-of-body level cave.
But he just needed to think about this guess in his mind. If he said it out loud, it would cause trouble.
So he changed his words abruptly, "It is indeed rare to find a space layer in the void."
"It's not that rare," Qu Jianlei shook his head. "Summoning creatures can appear here...Necromancers can do it."
"Necromancer," this was the second time Ji Xiaohua heard him say this, so he asked again, "Can you tell me more about it?"
They are all old monsters who have lived for hundreds or thousands of years. They changed the subject at this moment because they didn't want to mention the disappearance of the tree clan anymore.
"Let's take stock of the losses first," Qu Jianlei said softly, "Be careful, the demons may come back at any time."
After an inventory, it was found that the casualties were not very large, with only one Jindan and one foundation-building cultivator dying.
There is also the golden elixir in Baiyao Valley, which is still in a stalemate with the invading demonic energy.
However, the material losses were not small. The three warships were slightly damaged, and a considerable amount of spiritual energy and talismans were consumed in the battle.
Some people's self-defense magic weapons were also contaminated by the demonic energy and could not be repaired in a hurry, so they could only be cleansed with thunder magic many times.
As for whether it can be repaired after returning, that is another matter.
No matter how you look at it, everyone's morale is still pretty good. After all, they encountered an extremely ferocious demon and actually fought it off.
But next, should we continue to find out the news?
The exploration team has found out who the enemy is, but the number, scale and ethnicity of the demons... are still unknown.
Especially where did the demons come from and how great their war potential is, the people of Dongsheng are unable to sleep or eat because they cannot figure out these two questions.
But if we continue to explore, we will have to disperse again...
Faced with the elusive demons, lone groups or individuals of cultivators would have little chance of winning, and the probability of total annihilation would be higher.
This is a very confusing matter. Those who dare to accept the mission and go out to explore are not afraid of death. The key is to die meaningfully, right?
The six true immortals had to meet and discuss what to do next.
Ji Xiaohua thought it was more appropriate to return because the two teams had already completed their phased exploration mission.
As for wanting to find out more specific details, we have to discuss it with the Cultivator Alliance and send out a stronger team.
Moreover, the current team not only has average combat effectiveness, but the key is that they don’t have many targeted means to deal with the demons.
When the exploration team returns, the next team that goes out will definitely bring more useful means.
However, Li Yuren raised a question: Can the sealing formation stop the invasion of the demons?
Hearing this question, everyone could only turn their attention to the two True Immortals of Hongye Ridge again.
There is no way. The Dongsheng cultivators’ understanding of the Heavenly Demon is really lacking.
Fortunately, Qu Jianlei did not disappoint everyone. He said calmly: The sealing formation can block the invasion of most demons.
He himself had smuggled in through the town sealing formation and had a very clear understanding of the formation.
The formation is quite sensitive to abnormal auras.
When he infiltrated that year, he was almost exposed twice because his aura was not particularly pure.
But then, Qu Jianlei said that the demon was very close to the Cangwu Realm.
Once they discover the world of immortal cultivation, they don't necessarily have to enter through the sealing formation. They can look for various weak points in space to sneak in.
In fact, it is very likely that the demons have already discovered the Cangwu Realm, and these guys did not choose to enter through the sealing formation.
It was not until this moment that Qu Jianlei mentioned the immortal from Baiyao Valley again, "Huai Heng's death might have been caused by the demon."
"Then let's go back," Qianshou Zhenxian seconded, "But... we still need to leave someone on guard outside the town sealing formation, right?"
This is the attitude of Dongsheng cultivators towards war. They may cherish their lives in normal times, but they will never hide when they encounter aliens.
Moreover, being on duty is also necessary. If you hide in the formation and don't come out, you will completely lose the initiative on the void side.
No one objected to his suggestion.
Qu Jianlei even took the initiative to say that Hongyeling could first station outside the formation and wait for Dongsheng to send a new team.
The invasion of demons is imminent. This is a disaster that the entire Cangwu will face. It is better to put aside those petty thoughts.
No one else objected, because only Hongyeling had the strength to do so.
Whether it is the Yuanying Tree Clan or the Broken Blade, they are both very capable of restraining the Heavenly Demon, and Lord Qu Ling himself also has the means of thunder cultivation.
Even the Nascent Soul spirit in the ruler can come and go freely when surrounded by demons.
"Then those who are capable will do more work," Ji Xiaohua said straightforwardly, "We will urge the Cultivator Alliance to take over the duty as soon as possible."
However, at this moment, they cannot return to the formation as soon as possible, but must first find another team of cultivators and evacuate together.
That team was basically made up of the twelve major ones, and was not very friendly to small and medium-sized forces - at least they had few people.
But at this moment, we really can't care about these things anymore. The devil is the public enemy of all cultivators, and it would be unwise to start an internal conflict.
After all, after experiencing the battle with the tiger people, all forces understood very well that when facing alien races, no matter how great the hatred is, they must let go.
Finding that team is not difficult.
Ji Xiaohua first led his own team into the regimental-level ship - although the warship was a mortal object, it could effectively block the perception of the demons.
It took two days for the battleship to find the third team.
The warships on the opposite side were also damaged, and after discovering the warships, they actually formed a battle formation.
Fortunately, they knew each other's secret codes and were able to get in touch smoothly.
Li Yuren went alone to communicate and received some not-so-good news: this team also encountered the demon.
The good thing is that the number of demons they encountered was not large, and the twelve forces also recognized the origins of the demons in time.
After a battle, they finally escaped and even killed some demons.
The bad news is: a true immortal was injured.
