Wang Daoyuan could not be bothered to stoop to their level – defeating the demon beasts was his priority.
Two breaths later, the Demon Annihilation Crossbows were reloaded with spirit stones and fired once more.
This time, the distance was closer and the demon beasts found it harder to dodge. In an instant, more than ten demon beasts were killed and more than 20 were injured.
Under the suppression of the Demon Annihilation Crossbows and flying swords, the charging momentum of the demon beasts slowed down instantly.
This beast stampede was a last-minute idea to begin with. Without a Grade 3 demon beast to command and a last-minute Beast King, it was not enough to make all the demon beasts listen obediently.
They only had the thought of coming out to fight for a place to stay and did not want to risk their lives.
In the face of a threat to their lives, most of the demon beasts did not want to risk their lives and charged forward. They merely moved forward slowly from the back.
Those with long-range Dharmic spells released a few of them towards the mountain peak.
However, there were many rocks on the mountain peak and the attacks of the demon beasts did not have much effect on the cultivators as long as they found a random spot to hide.
A few demon beasts that relied on their agility to jump up and down were targeted by everyone's flying swords and died one after another.
However, be it humans or demon beasts, there was no lack of hotheads.
A Grade 2 middle-grade wild boar relied on its thick skin to charge forward with all its might.
The wild boar even channeled its spirit energy to block the attacks of the flying swords.
A few flying swords only left a bloody mark on its body.
The wild boar's spirit energy was khaki and its innate Dharmic spell was to strengthen its defense – this should be the Earth Armor Boar.
Boar demon beasts had strong bodies to begin with. Coupled with its innate Dharmic spell, it was difficult for cultivators of the same level to cause fatal damage to it.
If this thing charged forward, the Foundation Establishment Cultivators would not be afraid but the Qi Refinement Cultivators controlling the Demon Annihilation Crossbows would be in danger.
If the 20 Demon Annihilation Crossbows were destroyed and the demon beasts charged forward en masse, the cultivators could only rely on the protection of the formation to fight against the demon beasts that were ten times their number.
Yang Zhicheng sent a voice transmission to everyone. "You must protect the Demon Annihilation Crossbows. Otherwise, I'll have to activate the formation in advance."
All 18 Foundation Establishment Cultivators attacked the Earth Armor Boar. Unfortunately, the 18 flying swords only caused some superficial wounds to the Earth Armor Boar.
The Earth Armor Pig's charging speed did not decrease. Wang Daoyuan's whip hit the Earth Armor Pig's leg, but it did not affect its speed much.
He might be able to severely injure the Earth Armor Pig if he used the Five Elements Whip, but there was no need for him to reveal his trump card.
Since this thing's skin was thick, it was useless to attack it forcefully. Then, he decided to use a softer approach.
Wang Daoyuan used the Water Dragon Technique to condense a two-hundred-meter-long water dragon.
As soon as the water dragon was formed, it let out a loud dragon roar, scaring all the Demonic Beasts.
After all, a dragon was a divine beast. Ordinary demonic beasts would inevitably feel some fear when they felt the dragon's aura.
It was just that these Demonic Beasts were not aquatic Demonic Beasts, so they did not have a strong fear of the Dragon Aura. They were only stunned for a moment before they continued to charge forward.
At this moment, the Earth Armor Pig was less than three hundred feet away from the peak of the mountain.
Wang Daoyuan directly controlled the water dragon to pounce on the Earth Armor Pig.
Although the Earth Armor Pig had a strong physical body, it had no way to deal with the Water Dragon Technique. It was entangled by the Water Dragon Technique.
The Earth Armor Pig was extremely strong. Under its violent struggle, the Water Dragon could barely suppress it.
At this moment, the Demon-Exterminating Crossbow had been replaced with Spirit Stones again. A Demon-Exterminating Crossbow aimed at the Earth Armor Pig.
A beam of light struck, and a big hole was opened in the Earth Armor Pig's body. It died on the spot.
Yang Zhicheng praised him telepathically, "Little Friend Wang deserves the most credit for eliminating the Earth Armor Pig. After the Beast Tide is eliminated, Elder Yang will ask for a reward for you."
The few hotheads who were jumping up and down were all killed. None of the Demonic Beasts dared to step forward anymore.
The Demonic Beasts were less than three hundred feet away from the peak of the mountain. They did not dare to advance or retreat.
If they continued to stay, they would only be killed by the Demon-Exterminating Crossbows one by one.
An ape's roar came from the foot of the mountain. All the Demonic Beasts turned around and ran down the mountain.
Yang Zhicheng said telepathically, "Chase! Retreat immediately when you reach halfway up the mountain. "
Nineteen Foundation Establishment Cultivators flew into the sky and chased after the Demonic Beasts, casting spells to attack.
Soon, the Demonic Beasts escaped to the foot of the mountain. Everyone stopped chasing.
At this time, an intimidating ape's roar sounded from the foot of the mountain.
Yun Yi, who Wang Daoyuan was sitting on, also let out a roar, intimidating the Demonic Beasts.
The people and Demonic Beasts present were all shocked. Even the Rank Two Upper-Grade Demonic Beasts at the foot of the mountain were no exception.
Wang Daoyuan was a little confused. Last time at the Ash Cloud Peak, Yun Yi suppressed ten Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Because of its large size, its roar was very loud. It was not strange that it suppressed everyone.
However, Yun Yi's size and roar should be useless against the Rank Two Upper-Grade Demonic Beasts at the foot of the mountain. How could even they be suppressed?
Could it be that there was some mystery behind Yun Yi's roar?
The Myriad Spirit Atlas did not have a detailed record of Yun Yi Tigers. It only mentioned that Yun Yi Tigers were extremely rare, and their biggest feature was that they could fly.
At this time, it was not the time to think about this.
The Demonic Beasts fled down the mountain, and everyone returned to the top of the mountain.
In this probing attack, the Demonic Beasts lost more than 30 Demonic Beasts, and more than 40 Demonic Beasts suffered light or serious injuries.
However, in this attack, both sides did not bring out their true strength.
On the Demonic Beasts' side, none of the Rank Two Upper-Grade Demonic Beasts made a move.
On the Cultivators' side, the Gold Fiend Soul Severing Formation did not activate either.
Both sides did not put in all their strength. The good show was yet to come.
After repelling the Demonic Beasts, their side was unscathed. Yang Zhicheng laughed and said, "Daoyou has contributed greatly to repelling the Demonic Beasts.
Before coming, Elder Yang instructed that killing a Rank Two Upper-Grade Demonic Beast would be rewarded with 500 Spirit Stones per Demonic Beast, 1,000 Spirit Stones per Demonic Beast, and 2,000 Spirit Stones for Rank Two Upper-Grade Demonic Beast.
Helping to kill the Demonic Beasts would also give half of the Spirit Stones.
I still remember all the contributions you've made, Fellow Daoists. "
Wang Daoyuan did not care about this little bit of Spirit Stones. He took the initiative to respond to the recruitment this time. On one hand, he was worried that his life would be in danger if the Twelfth Uncle came. On the other hand, he wanted to catch some mutated Demonic Beasts.
After all, the Demonic Beasts in this small Beast Tide had all escaped from the depths of the Sky Slash Mountain Range.
There might be mutated Demonic Beasts with high-level Demonic Beast bloodlines. Catching one would be a huge gain.
Taking advantage of the time when the Demonic Beasts retreated, everyone began to meditate to recover their Spirit Qi. The Demonic Beasts at the foot of the mountain also seized the time to rest.
An hour later, following an ape's roar, the Demonic Beasts at the foot of the mountain moved again and slowly moved to the top of the mountain.
This time, all the Demonic Beasts rushed up the mountain. Not a single Demonic Beast was left at the foot of the mountain. They were going to launch a general attack.
Yang Zhicheng ordered the Netherworld Sect Qi Refinement cultivators to gather half of the Demon Extermination Crossbows in the other three directions to the east.
The east was the focus of the Demonic Beasts' attack.
The Demonic Beasts did not rush to the top of the mountain directly. Instead, they slowly climbed up.
When they were halfway up the mountain, their speed still did not increase significantly.
At this time, the Demonic Beasts had already entered the killing range of the Demon Extermination Crossbows.
Yang Zhicheng ordered two Demon Extermination Crossbows to attack and test the Demonic Beasts' strength.
The Demonic Beasts were too far away and had enough time to dodge.
The attacks of the two Demon Extermination Crossbows did not hurt the Demonic Beasts.
The leader was a Rank Two Intermediate Ape. The other Rank Two Advanced Demonic Beasts all listened to its orders obediently.
The Ape roared a few times in a low voice, as if commanding the Demonic Beasts' next move.
Ape type Demonic Beasts were extremely smart to begin with. With a high cultivation, their intelligence would also improve significantly.
A Rank Two Intermediate Ape's thinking ability should not be much worse than an ordinary person's.
Of course, it still could not be compared to a human Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Commanding a Demonic Beast horde was not a problem.
After the Ape roared, the Demonic Beasts began to disperse. The Demonic Beasts with agile bodies and good at climbing began to move in the other three directions of Crouching Tiger Mountain.
The other Demonic Beasts also dispersed and charged up the gentle slope on the east side.
