The Wang Clan and a dozen other clans followed Yang Zhiyuan to the bottom of a small hill.
The Guiyan Valley was roughly north-south, but the mountain paths rarely went straight, and the Guiyan Valley was no exception. Although there were no twists and turns, there were still a few dangerous places, and the Carriage Gorge was one of the most dangerous places.
The Carriage Gorge was about three miles long, and as the name suggested, the valley was only one carriage wide. The hill where everyone was lying in ambush was three miles east of the Carriage Gorge.
The right side of the hill was a flat land about two hundred feet wide, leading to the depths of the forest. On the right side of the flat land were large and small peaks, which were defended by other teams; the left side of the hill was a cliff.
The Carriage Gorge was more than three thousand miles away from the Golden Goose City, and more than three hundred miles away from the Guiyan Market. If something happened here, both sides would not be able to rescue in time. Therefore, the Carriage Gorge was the place where the caravan was most frequently attacked.
Although Yang Zhiyuan hadn't told everyone about their respective missions, Wang Daoyuan could roughly guess that their mission was most likely to be to stop the fleeing Demonic Beasts.
After that, Yang Zhiyuan gave everyone two Aura Concealing Talismans. The Aura Concealing Talisman could conceal the aura emitted by the cultivator, whether it was the fluctuation of mana or the smell, it would not leak out.
The purpose of the Underworld Sect's Aura Concealing Talisman was very clear, it was an ambush.
There were many beasts scattered in the forest, and if they wanted to ambush, they would have to attract the beasts.
At this time, Wang Daoyuan saw a caravan coming along the Carriage Gorge a few miles away in the south.
This caravan had a lot of people, more than twenty carriages, and about a hundred people. Because of the distance, he could not feel the aura of the cultivators, and could not judge their cultivation.
In order to adapt to the terrain, the carriages on the Guiyan Valley road were very strange. The length of the carriages varied from two to five feet, and the width was less than five feet, which was very slender.
This caravan was no exception, about three feet long, and was pulled by two beasts that looked very similar to horses.
This beast was called the Forest Horse, it did not run fast, but it was good at running in the forest and had great strength. It was a very common beast used for transportation.
The caravan continued forward and soon reached the center of the Carriage Gorge, which was also the narrowest part of the Carriage Gorge. If they were attacked, the caravan would be in a dilemma.
It was very likely that the demonic beasts would launch an attack here. Everyone became nervous. Even Yang Zhiyuan transmitted his voice, "Without my order, no one is allowed to act rashly. Those who disobey will be beheaded!"
As time passed, everyone's hearts rose to their throats. Wang Daoyuan could even hear the heartbeats of the people nearby.
However, the expected attack did not happen. The caravan at the front had already exited the Carriage Gorge, and everything was still calm.
Very quickly, the entire caravan drove out of the Carriage Gorge. They had passed through the easiest place to be attacked. Everyone in the caravan heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the demonic beasts did not intend to attack the caravan.
Everyone who was lying in ambush outside the Carriage Gorge felt relieved. Wang Daoyuan also withdrew his Profound Yang Sword.
After exiting the Carriage Gorge, the mountain path was even wider and could accommodate many carriages side by side. In order to make it easier to manage, the leader ordered the caravan to be split into three groups instead of one.
The leader's prestige was quite high. With an order, everyone in the caravan immediately disrupted their original groups and rearranged themselves. Everything seemed to be coordinated and natural.
Suddenly, a black gust of wind came from the front and headed straight for the caravan.
In the caravan, eleven cultivators soared into the sky on their artifacts. The leader was dressed in a gray robe and did not look like a cultivator at all. Instead, he looked like a butler of a rich family.
However, the gray-robed cultivator was not weak. As soon as the gust of wind rose, he took out a flying sword and flew into the air.
He took out a horsetail whisk and waved it gently. A black beam collided with the gust of wind and a few explosions sounded. The gust of wind paused for a moment before continuing to rush over. However, the wind was slightly weaker.
The other cultivators who flew into the air on their artifacts followed suit and took out their Dharma artifacts and spirit talismans to attack the gust of wind. The wind gradually weakened, but it was getting closer and closer to the caravan.
The Foundation Establishment cultivators in the caravan were unable to disperse the gust of wind before it reached them.
The black gust of wind rushed into the caravan. Many Qi Refinement cultivators could not fly on their artifacts and could not hide in the air. Those who reacted quickly hid behind the carriages. Those who reacted slowly could only take out their Dharma artifacts and spirit talismans to resist.
The gust of wind hit the cultivators, Forest Piercing Foals and carriages, flashing with colorful lights. There were all sorts of Dharma spells hidden in the black gust of wind.
After hundreds of colorful lights flashed, the gust of wind dissipated. In the caravan, more than fifty Forest Piercing Foals were dead. After all, they could not take out their Dharma artifacts and spirit talismans to defend themselves.
More than ten cultivators' Dharma artifacts and spirit talismans were shattered and they died on the spot.
More than twenty cultivators were in tatters and their faces were pale. It was clear that they were severely injured and had no strength to fight anymore.
The remaining sixty or so people reacted quickly. The moment they saw the gust of wind, they hid behind the carriages and took out their Dharma artifacts and spirit talismans.
Most of the attacks were blocked by the carriages. A small portion of the attacks were also blocked by the protective Dharma artifacts and spirit talismans. They only lost some spirit energy and were not injured. Their combat strength was not affected much.
Looking at the situation of the twenty or so carriages, they should be specially made. One had to admit that the quality was really good. After being hit by the Dharma spells, only a few shallow marks were left.
In the valley ahead, where the gust of wind blew, a group of demon beasts appeared.
There was a giant multicolored tiger, a black bear the size of a small mountain, and a black wolf the size of a cow. There was also a black eagle with a wingspan of more than ten meters and some golden feathers on its body.
The four demon beasts were at the front of the group of demon beasts, as if four generals were leading an army.
Behind the tiger, black bear and black wolf were more than two thousand different types of beasts. Behind the condor were more than a thousand different types of bird-type demon beasts.
When the grey-robed cultivator of the caravan saw the situation, he ordered decisively, "Those who can still stand, listen up. Arrange the carriages into a circular formation and prepare to defend against the enemy."
Upon hearing the order, the Qi Refinement cultivators who were still alive moved immediately. With the Forest Piercing Foals dead, they could only rely on people to pull the carriages. For the sake of their lives, they were still very proactive. Some cultivators even took out their God Power Talismans.
In less than ten breaths, more than twenty carriages surrounded the city in a circle with all the Qi Refinement cultivators in it.
Then, they took out spirit crossbows and loaded them with spirit stones. The Refinement Stage Cultivators who had escaped from death like headless flies instantly turned into fully-armed elites.
In Wang Daoyuan's opinion, these Qi Refinement cultivators had the circle formation of carriages as cover. It was really similar to the positional warfare of his previous life.
The caravan cultivators were too fast and there were more than ten Foundation Establishment cultivators guarding in the air. The demon beasts did not have time to attack and missed the best opportunity to attack. But now, the caravan was already in position and could not be taken down easily.
However, with thousands of demon beasts gathered, it was impossible for them to retreat just because of a little trouble.
A few Grade 2 demon beasts roared a few times and five to six hundred bears, rhinoceroses and other thick-skinned demon beasts walked out from the herd.
With a roar from the tiger, the five to six hundred demon beasts charged towards the caravan.
