Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom ~ Boom ~
Zhao Hai calmly looked outside as the sounds of explosions resounded. Beside him stood a lot of cultivators. Their faces were also calm, and their expressions were even a bit cold.
They have been defending the camp for half a month. Five days ago, all of their formations lost their function. Even the Illusion Formation was broken by the beasts. Zhao Hai didn't expect that among the beasts, there would be a beast that could directly attack them with spiritual force. He didn't pay attention and allowed the beast's spiritual force to destroy the formation flag of the Illusion Formation. Because of this, the Illusion Formation completely lost its function.
The only thing that was still useful was the reinforcement formation disk in the middle of the camp. The formation disk was still functioning normally. It can be said that if it weren't for the disk, their casualties would have been very high. It would be hard to say if they could still defend the camp.
Although half a month had passed and they still didn't have any casualties, facing the large-scale attacks of the demon beasts every day, many of them still suffered heavy injuries. This made everyone's heart completely calm down, and they could even use a cold attitude to face the demon beasts that pounced on them.
The reason why Zhao Hai and the others didn't make a move was because they still had a defensive formation around them. This defensive formation was just refined last night. However, this defensive formation wouldn't last long. At most, it could only block ten rounds of attacks. After ten rounds, they would have to rely on themselves. Truth be told, if it weren't for these temporary defensive formations, their casualties wouldn't have been so small.
Zhao Hai silently counted the number of attacks from the beasts. At the same time, he also paid attention to the defensive formation. Naturally, when he looked at Thirteen, the defensive formation began to shake violently. It was obvious that the defensive formation was about to break.
Zhao Hai didn't care. Instead, he gently raised his hand. All the cultivators around him immediately revealed their artifacts. Their expressions changed at the same time.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Hai. Their eyes flashed with fanaticism. They couldn't help but look at Zhao Hai with such eyes. In the past half a month, if it weren't for Zhao Hai standing on the front line and commanding everyone, they wouldn't have been able to hold on until now. Now, these people were looking at Zhao Hai as if they were looking at God. The fanaticism in their eyes couldn't be concealed.
Bang! The defensive formation was finally broken. Zhao Hai fiercely waved his hand forward. The cultivators immediately threw out their artifacts. However, some of them didn't move. They tightly grasped their artifacts and stood beside Zhao Hai. In Zhao Hai's hand, there were two blood-red iron maces.
As soon as the defensive formation was broken, the beasts immediately rushed towards Zhao Hai's group. At this time, the artifacts released by Zhao Hai's group arrived. The beasts at the front were killed on the spot. However, the beasts behind didn't stop and continued to rush forward. Although Zhao Hai's cave wasn't very big, after the repeated attacks from the beasts, the cave was now twice as big as before. Therefore, the area that Zhao Hai's group had to defend had become even bigger.
The attacks from the artifacts only slowed down the attacks of the beasts by a bit. It didn't take long for the beasts to reach the entrance of the cave. Everyone's breathing couldn't help but become heavier. They gripped their weapons even harder. It didn't take long for a beast to reach Zhao Hai. It was a tiger-shaped beast. Its eyes flashed with madness as it opened its mouth and pounced towards Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai coldly looked at the tiger-shaped beast. Then, he waved the iron maces in his hand and struck the tiger-shaped beast's head. The tiger-shaped beast's head was like a rotten watermelon, smashed into pieces by Zhao Hai's maces.
However, another beast immediately pounced on Zhao Hai. The maces in Zhao Hai's hands were continuously waved. One by one, the beasts died in front of him. His maces were like the scythe of death. As long as the maces touched a beast, none of them would be able to survive. Zhao Hai alone was able to defend almost half of the cave entrance.
The others were also crazily fighting with the beasts. From time to time, someone would get injured and be replaced by someone else. However, the battle didn't stop for a moment. Kill, kill, kill, kill. Everyone seemed to have turned into machines. They only knew how to kill, kill, kill, and forget about everything else.
Only Zhao Hai was able to remain sober. Zhao Hai had been observing the beasts. He wanted to find the person who commanded these beasts.
The attacks of the beasts continued. These beasts had all gone crazy. They didn't care about casualties, nor were they afraid. They only knew how to attack, attack, and attack. Their goal was to kill Zhao Hai and the others.
The battle continued. An hour passed. Two hours passed. Three hours passed. Four hours passed. The cultivators guarding the cave entrance had been replaced several times. However, Zhao Hai was still persisting.
Slowly, the sky darkened. The beasts also slowly retreated. In fact, they didn't need to retreat. They could continue to attack. However, the beasts also knew that they wouldn't be able to achieve any results. Although Zhao Hai and the others were few in number, the area they were guarding wasn't very big. It was impossible for the beasts to send too many beasts to attack. It can be said that Zhao Hai and the others didn't have a lot of beasts to deal with. Therefore, they were able to persist.
After another day passed, the beasts retreated. Zhao Hai and the others also got some time to rest. At this time, the cultivator in charge of refining the defensive formation made another one. Zhao Hai and the others immediately used this formation. This way, the cave was completely safe.
As usual, Zhao Hai calmly sat at the entrance of the cave. He meditated to restore his strength while keeping watch for everyone. Because of Zhao Hai's performance these days, the cultivators had a fanatical worship for Zhao Hai. They were very clear that if it weren't for Zhao Hai, then they would have already been killed by the beasts.
Time passed bit by bit in this state of stalemate. Twenty days passed, twenty-five days passed, twenty-eight days passed, twenty-nine days passed …
On the morning of the 30th day, everyone gathered around Zhao Hai. They had already forgotten about the time. It was as if they had turned into robots, robots programmed to do the same thing on the first day. They were already used to it. Therefore, they stood beside Zhao Hai.
At this time, Zhao Hai was looking at the sky of the floating island. The sky of the island was no different from the outside world. But today, there was a slight change. Zhao Hai discovered that there were some seagulls in the sky. At the same time, he could see the undulating waves of the sea from the island's sky.
Zhao Hai let out a long breath. He knew that the day he had been waiting for had finally arrived. Today was the day that the island would be opened to the outside world. It was time for them to leave.
Zhao turned to look at the others and found that they were all standing beside him with indifferent faces. They didn't seem to notice this. Zhao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then he let out a long sigh and laughed. "You're right. You're right.
Zhao Hai's smile caused the surrounding cultivators to look at him in confusion. Zhao Hai looked at the crowd and laughed, "Brothers, we won. We'll be able to leave Floating Island." Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Brothers, we won! We'll be able to leave Floating Island."
When everyone heard Zhao Hai, they couldn't help but stare. They looked at Zhao Hai in confusion before their bodies shook. They finally understood what Zhao Hai meant. Everyone's eyes flashed with ecstasy. Then they looked outside the cave and saw that they were able to see the situation outside. This meant that they could leave the island. Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Let's go. Let's go and see what's going on outside the island.
But at this time, a roar of a beast brought everyone back to reality. They looked at the demonic beasts outside the cave and their expressions immediately turned ugly.
Qiu Wushuang bitterly stood beside Zhao Hai. Then he smiled bitterly at Zhao Hai and said, "Senior Brother, even if we can leave today, what can we do? If we want to leave, we have to break through the encirclement of the beasts. Can those beasts let us break through their encirclement? It's fine for us to defend here, but if we rush out, we'll be dead for sure. "
Qiu Wushuang said what was on everyone's mind. Everyone smiled bitterly. They didn't think that after holding on for so long, they would still end up like this.
Zhao Hai looked at the crowd and smiled faintly. "Everyone has been wondering why my Senior Brother Zhou Feng didn't go with everyone. But because the battle was too fierce, everyone forgot about it. Now, I'll tell everyone that my Senior Brother didn't go there. He was preparing a way out for everyone." Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Actually, my Senior Brother didn't go there. He was preparing an escape route for everyone."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, everyone couldn't help but stare. Then they looked at Zhao Hai with a puzzled expression. They didn't understand what Zhao Hai meant, but there was a glimmer of hope in their eyes.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "When everyone entered the cave, I already thought that this day would come. Therefore, I had Senior Brother Zhou Feng build a tunnel to the outside. From here, we'll dig down to the foot of the mountain. Then from the foot of the mountain, we'll dig until we get out of the encirclement of the beasts. This tunnel is very difficult to build, but Senior Brother Zhou Feng has been working very hard. Finally, three days ago, he finished digging. He's still digging, hoping that he can dig a bit further so that we can leave this place and return to the True Spiritual Realm."
Upon hearing Zhao Hai, everyone cheered. But then they looked at Zhao Hai in confusion. Qiu Wushuang said, "But Senior Brother, why didn't you tell us about this?"
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and sighed, "There's a reason why I didn't tell you. It's because I'm afraid that once you hear the news, you'll think that you still have a way to leave this place. Some of you might even help Senior Brother Zhou dig the tunnel instead of resisting the beasts. Moreover, it's very likely that you'll leave the camp as soon as the tunnel is finished. But at that time, we might not be able to leave the island. In the end, we'll still be chased by the beasts. If that's the case, then we'll be in even more danger."
After saying that, Zhao Hai paused for a moment before he continued, "So I didn't tell you about this. I wanted you to think that we have no other choice but to resist. Only in this way will you be willing to stay here and fight the beasts. This will give us a chance to survive."
Qiu Wushuang and the others lowered their heads in shame. They knew that Zhao Hai was right. If they thought about digging a tunnel, then they would've already done so. Who would stay here and fight the beasts? But if they didn't, then they wouldn't have been able to defend this place. If the beasts knew that they ran away, then they would've been chased all over the island. At that time, they would've been done for.
Zhao Hai looked at the crowd and said, "Brothers, I lied to you. No matter what you think of me, I always thought that what I did was for your own good. Even if you hate me, you should wait until we get out of here before settling accounts with me. According to the daily routine, the beasts will attack soon, and the defensive formation will only be able to withstand fifteen rounds of attacks. Therefore, it's best for us to leave this place immediately. Brothers, let's go."
Qiu Wushuang cupped his fist towards Zhao Hai and said, "Senior Brother, you're right. I, Qiu Wushuang, will remember your kindness for the rest of my life. Even if we leave this island, you're still my Senior Brother." The others also cupped their fists towards Zhao Hai and said, "Even if we leave this island, you're still our Senior Brother."
Zhao Hai also cupped his fist towards them and said, "Alright, Brothers, there's no need to be polite. From today onwards, we're brothers. Let's leave this place first. As long as we can return to the Spiritual Realm, I'll treat everyone to a drink." When everyone heard Zhao Hai, they laughed along with him. Zhao Hai waved his hand and then went into the cave. Before long, they arrived outside Zhou Feng's room.
As soon as they arrived outside, Zhou Feng came out of his room. His body was covered in dirt. When he saw Zhao Hai, he immediately said, "Brother, can we leave now?"
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Zhou. We can leave now. How's the tunnel?"
Zhou Feng laughed and said, "Great, we're in luck. I actually managed to reach another mountain. And that mountain is actually a volcano. We can fly directly from there. I believe it won't be long before we leave this island."
When everyone heard this, their faces lit up with excitement. They were finally going to leave this place. Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Alright, Brother Zhou, you lead the way. Everyone, follow Brother Zhou. I'll bring up the rear." At this time, another explosion came from outside the cave. Apparently, the demon beasts had started to attack again.
