The carriage moved forward, and the roars of the beasts became increasingly faint. However, for some reason, their convoy had not yet broken free from the enveloping sound, as if someone were playing a game of hide and seek with them.
Until they reached a valley ahead, suddenly, the vague roars of the beasts materialized!
Just as Wang Long and the others felt something was amiss, several monstrous creatures with fierce leopard heads and deer bodies suddenly leaped out from the nearby dense forest. Their speed was comparable to that of elder-level experts. Especially since they were completely unprepared for this attack, the disciples from Fire Mountain City in that position had no time to react!
"Thunder Element Annihilation Sword!" Wang Long was the first to move. Just as several monsters were about to pounce on a few disciples who were weak and unable to react, lightning flashed in mid-air. Even those agile Slaughtering Deer Beasts among the monsters did not know how Wang Long launched his attack; they only felt a sudden numbness and pain before collapsing to the ground. Each encounter with these beasts required an immediate display of top-tier expertise.
However, there were no explosive sounds to enhance the impact; they could only see that Wang Long's reaction was quick. Indifferently, they commented, "That's fairly average; of course, it must be due to Elder Cai Burin's kind guidance. You really have worked hard..." They were willing to sacrifice their integrity just to get closer to Cai Burin.
Unfortunately, this was clearly not an isolated incident. Just when they thought they could safely deal with this wave of beasts, shadows emerged from all directions surrounding their small convoy! From the corner of Little Valley ahead, from the nearby forest, from higher mountains in the distance, and even from underground!
All were converging on their weak merchant convoy!
"Ah!" This time, the outermost warriors were not as fortunate as those Fire Mountain City warriors saved by Wang Long. Those near their own experts fared slightly better, but now there were limited experts in the entire convoy, making it impossible to protect every location. Cries of agony echoed; this not only signified another death among their ranks but also represented a death filled with immense suffering!
"Don't panic!" Mr. Fan had somehow appeared behind one of the carriages in the convoy. He suddenly pointed at a carriage ahead, and a beam of Azure Radiance rose up, enveloping all the carriages within.
Wang Long felt that both his strength and speed had significantly increased within this Azure Radiance. More importantly, it seemed to carry a stimulating spiritual power that excited him; he wanted to slay more of these beasts, whether for the sake of advancing the convoy or simply for the thrill of killing.
The greatest benefit went to those ordinary warriors. With the protective barrier formed by Azure Radiance, they finally steadied themselves and gathered together to launch Spiritual Essence attacks against a beast. They began to achieve some results in battle, although… compared to what their experts accomplished, it was negligible.
The role of top-tier experts was vividly demonstrated in this team, especially in such close-quarters combat where they were ambushed.
Although they had already killed quite a few beasts, for some reason, these creatures seemed endless. Not only were they not deterred by the corpses of their fallen companions, but they appeared to become even more frenzied and powerful. At this moment, even Li Changge, Hua Ruhai, and his dark-faced companion could no longer fight as effectively. They had consumed too much Spiritual Essence, and it seemed that these beasts showed no signs of stopping, forcing them to start conserving their Spiritual Essence.
Cai Burin lived up to expectations, wielding his large blade with divine prowess. At times, it swung horizontally, cleaving the charging beasts in two. Other times, it transformed into a spear that struck like a venomous snake; each burst of lethal energy felled a beast with speed, precision, and ruthlessness—never allowing a second strike on the same creature. He looked like a killing machine!
However, what truly astonished them was Wang Long.
The techniques used by Ming Dan appeared quite ordinary, and even his magical artifacts seemed unimpressive. Yet, if one observed closely, the number of beasts falling beside him was no less than that of Cai Burin!
"Six Thunder Gathering!" As time flew by and the sky began to darken, they showed no signs of resolving the battle. Instead, they were nearly overwhelmed several times by the beasts attempting to breach the Azure Radiance barrier. Mr. Fan hesitated about whether to activate the last-resort protective formation from their vehicle when suddenly, the six newly joined companions had already formed a small battle formation with unique positioning. The Thunder Element Power gathered among them and directly formed a small thunderstorm. The powerful Thunder Element Power scattered chaotically but was fully controlled by the six of them; it struck only the beasts without affecting the surrounding warriors. The Thunder Element grew stronger and soon carved a path through the dense horde of beasts!
"Quick! Move forward in that direction! Leave behind any immobile vehicles; ordinary warriors need not attack but focus on driving forward while others provide cover!"
The beasts seemed to realize their attempt to break through, but under the overwhelming power of the Thunder Element formation created by the six, they found no advantage. Even if a few managed to slip through, Wang Long and his companions easily dealt with them.
After this battle, Wang Long fully understood what Hua Ruhai had meant about the beasts going mad. They suffered significant losses in this fight, but the losses for the beasts were even greater. Yet faced with the corpses of their kin littering the ground, the remaining beasts charged even more frantically without hesitation—contrary to what Cai Burin had described about beast behavior.
Moreover, judging from earlier circumstances, it seemed those beasts had set up an ambush; if they hadn't stumbled into the beasts' "pocket formation," they wouldn't have been so passive or suffered such heavy casualties.
"We should have shaken off those beasts by now." Li Changge turned back with a weary expression and signaled everyone to stop. It wasn't that he couldn't hold on; if they continued at this pace, their vehicle and ordinary warriors would surely break down.
The six newcomers who had been trailing behind finally withdrew from their formation as Lingfeng nodded and said, "Indeed, we've dealt with those few pursuing beasts behind us; it seems the others are not following."
"Oh!!" The ordinary warriors who had narrowly escaped cheered loudly.
"Alright, it's getting dark now, so let's set up camp here for the night. Warriors, don't let your guard down. Quickly pitch the tents. Brother Hua Ruhai, please assist these six friends in keeping watch."
Wang Long and Cai Burin exchanged glances, both noticing the doubt in each other's eyes.
This battle came so suddenly and ended too easily, didn't it?
