"Dad, what do we do next?"
Xiong Pingsan looked at the little lizard lying on the tree in front of him from afar and really didn't know what to do. During the last beast tide, it was thanks to Du Feng's help that their bear tribe escaped and moved away from their original location. But they didn't expect that in the current Western Continent, there was no place for them, the demon cultivators, to survive.
There were those strange lizards everywhere. They were small, but their combat strength was especially strong. As long as they were hit by their tongues, a hole would be poked out of their heads. Many bear and wolf warriors had already been sacrificed, and the fox clan members had also tried to use confusion to subdue the little lizards, but it didn't work at all. Those little lizards were like killing machines without nerves, only knowing how to kill without any interference.
It wasn't just Xiong Pingsan's group who encountered this problem. There were even more demon tribes and demon cultivator cities that were stronger than them that encountered the same problem. There were a few demon cultivator cities that were still struggling because they were built more securely.
They still couldn't understand why these little lizards attacked the demon cultivator cities but not the poison cultivator cities. Could it be that they were afraid of some kind of poison? What kind of poison was it? It would be great if they could get their hands on some.
"Why don't we go to Bear King City to take a look? There might be a chance to teleport to the Northern Continent."
The Demon Emperor was overseeing the Northern Continent, but there were twelve demon kings on the Western Continent. It was precisely because of the twelve demon kings that it wasn't easy for the poison cultivators to drive the demon cultivators away. Only the appearance of the little lizards broke this balance.
Even if the demon kings weren't afraid of the little lizards, the other demon cultivators were. The vast Western Continent couldn't be guarded by just twelve demon kings. How could the other demon cultivators not think of Xiong Pingzhi's group wanting to teleport to the Northern Continent from Demon King City? But the teleportation array needed crystals to maintain, and it could only teleport ten people at a time. After teleporting a few times, it needed a long cooldown time.
There were at least tens of millions of demon cultivators in the twelve demon king cities, and the members of the various demon tribes scattered outside added up to hundreds of millions. How could such a huge migration be completed in a short period of time? The only thing they could do now was to constantly fight against the little lizards.
If they could defeat it, they would kill it. If they couldn't, they would be killed by it. It was unknown where those little lizards came from, but their numbers kept increasing. Demonic cultivators were quite powerful in one-on-one combat, but their ability to start a large-scale war was far worse than human martial artists.
If human martial artists encountered such a thing, they would definitely unite. Gather everyone who knows fire-type combat skills and kill the small lizards in a large area. The city was surrounded by a large number of Thunderbolt Fireballs. Any small lizards that came to rescue were burned to death and blown away. As long as they were eliminated quickly enough, they wouldn't pose much of a threat.
Although the 12 Monster Kings were strong, with strength, speed, and defense, none of them knew how to play with fire. Even their leader, the king, was helpless, so the rest of the Yao cultivators were at their wits' end. They could only fight the small lizards head-on. Every time they fought, a large number of Yao cultivators would be sacrificed.
Occasionally, a few demon cultivators who were born with the ability to use fire defeated the small lizards, but it was impossible to popularize this tactic on a large scale. That was because the abilities of Yao cultivators basically came from their race's innate talent, which was different from human martial artists. Even if human martial artists were born with ice-type innate talent, they could still learn some fire-type combat skills to use. Only after learning all five elemental cultivation techniques would they be able to be more flexible in battle. By using the principle of mutual enhancement and restraint, they would be able to gain an advantage in battle.
They had also tried to seek help from the South Continent, which was closest to them. But usually, groups of demonic beasts would go to the South Continent from time to time to cause trouble. Now that they were in trouble and wanted to seek help, they were completely ignored. It was already very good that the South Continent's martial artists didn't take this opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk … this demon's den is quite hard to enter."
Du Feng was still very far away from the depths of the West Continent. He was only moving around the periphery of the South Continent, so he didn't know what was happening inside. At this moment, he was staring at the lid of the dry well in a daze, studying how to open the demon's den again.
Last time, it was because Xiong Pingsan's father, the old patriarch of the bear race, was there. Du Feng first used the knowledge he had to replenish the ancient array formation's energy. Then, the old man used the method passed down by the bear race since ancient times to open the demon's den for the two of them to enter for trial. Now that the old patriarch was no longer around, the entrance to the demon's den could only be opened by Du Feng himself.
He remembered that the last time he came here, there was only a big rock blocking the well. He only needed to move the rock away and replenish the array formation's energy according to the Yin and Yang patterns. This time, there was an additional well cover that sealed the entrance to the demon's den.
He squatted in place and observed for more than half an hour before he finally found some clues. The strange runes on the well cover seemed to be a bit similar to those on the Black Tortoise Pillar. It was really thanks to the array formation class of the Seven Basaltic Mansions. Otherwise, with his array formation skills, he wouldn't have been able to open this ancient array formation seal.
The Black Tortoise represented the northern seven constellations of the 28 constellations: Dou, Niu, Nu, Xu, Wei, Shi, and Bi. Based on this principle, Du Feng took out a pile of array flags and crystals and tried to imitate it on the ground next to him. Once a person invested their energy into something, they wouldn't know how fast time passed.
By the time he reacted, the sky had already darkened.
"The wisdom of the ancients is really endless!"
Du Feng sighed and stood up. After struggling for so long, he had a little clue, but he was still far from solving it. He rubbed his sore eyes and looked up at the distant sky. This was the advantage of being away from the hustle and bustle of the world. The night sky was especially bright, and the stars were especially clear.
Eh? Du Feng vaguely found some clues. There were a few stars in the northern sky that didn't seem right. There seemed to be faint starlight sprinkling down. If one looked carefully, they would discover that the faint starlight was sprinkling on the well cover of the bear tribe's tribe.
The array formation on the well cover represented the northern seven constellations: Dou, Niu, Nu, Xu, Shi, Shi, and Bi.
"Ah!"
Du Feng slapped his head and came to a sudden realization. He knew that this array formation was related to the Black Tortoise. The Black Tortoise represented the northern seven constellations of the 28 constellations. However, he had no idea how to operate it. It was only when he looked up at the sky while resting that he figured out what was going on.
