Tan Xiu arranged everything quickly. After briefly explaining the situation, he ordered the Tang Sect's disciples to board the borrowed deep-sea corvette as fast as possible and arrived at a port in Jingmen Island in just 10 minutes. Dozens of buses had been waiting here for a long time and directly transported everyone to the Shanghai Airport. Then, they were sent to the west by a plane that had been prepared in advance.
However …
Aside from most of the Tang Sect's powerhouses, Tan Xiu's disciple, Gu Yin, also came with them. Gu Yin was now a Golden Core Stage powerhouse, but she had yet to engage in a real fight despite possessing formidable power. Tan Xiu didn't want her to be a flower in a greenhouse. If she wanted to be successful, she must experience fighting on the edge of life and death. Only then would she be able to achieve great things in the future.
Ugley.
The small town was in a mess and looked dilapidated. Olive-green tents were connected together to serve as temporary residences. A large number of soldiers blocked all the traffic arteries in the surroundings, prohibiting any ordinary people from entering.
"So many reporters?"
As soon as Tan Xiu arrived, he saw the reporters carrying their cameras outside the blockade line and craning their necks to look inside the town.
Honk, honk …
The military SUVs blared their horns, forcing the reporters away. The soldiers driving the military SUVs showed their identification cards and the convoy quickly entered the town.
Duanmu Lin and several experts from the Special Abilities Bureau had been waiting in front of the military tent for a long time. When he saw men and women with strong physiques and solemn expressions getting out of dozens of military SUVs, especially when they were all carrying military bags, he immediately revealed a surprised expression.
Tan Xiu stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Senior Duanmu, I've brought most of the members of my sect here. There's a total of 201 of them. I hope you can assign them separate places to live. Also, you must give me full authority to command them. "
Duanmu Lin was silent for a moment and curiously asked, "Are they cultivators, Tan Xiu? Or are they soldiers? They have a very strong military aura and intense killing intent. "
"Senior Duanmu, I'll be frank with you," said Tan Xiu. "They're all cultivators trained by my disciple. Most of them were trained and sent abroad to train in very cruel environments when they were young. Most of them were wanted criminals in the world. But what I can guarantee is that the people they killed were all people who deserved to be killed, and they did not do anything illegal in our Hua Xia Country. "
Duanmu Lin slowly nodded and said, "I can rest assured with your guarantee. I immediately sent someone to arrange a place for them to stay, and all the daily necessities were quickly distributed to them. However, I have one last question to ask. "
"Please speak!"
Tan Xiu nodded.
Duanmu Lin asked, "I want to know their strength. Can they really guard our blockade line in the next mission?"
Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "Their mission is not to set up a blockade, but to enter the depths of the Himalayas to hunt demonic beasts. This is also the main reason why I asked for full authority over them. Don't worry, the weakest among them is a Foundation Establishment expert, and many of them are Gold Core experts. As long as they don't encounter terrifying magical beasts, they have enough ability to protect themselves. "
Duanmu Lin's expression moved as he nodded and said, "Alright! Since you've decided, then I won't say anything more. Tan Xiu, two hours ago, another group of demonic beasts attacked the blockade line, killing more than a dozen of our people and injuring dozens of others. "
"How many demonic beasts were there?" asked Tan Xiu.
"A total of 200." Duanmu Lin forced a smile. "The most powerful one among them is very terrifying. Fortunately, Miao Wentang, Shao Mingzhen, and Dao Master Ziyi joined forces to barely repel that demonic beast. "
Tan Xiu's expression slightly changed. The three of them joined forces to barely repel that demonic beast, which showed that the strength of that demonic beast was at least comparable to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Such a small-scale harassment was unexpectedly led by such a powerful demonic beast. It seemed that there were many terrifying demonic beasts in the depths of the mountain range.
Half an hour later.
The temporary tent had been set up. Since it was a separate place, it was not in the same place as the others'.
"Assemble!"
Following Tan Xiu's order, 201 Tang Sect disciples quickly appeared in front of Tan Xiu and quickly lined up.
"Mo Awu, Jin Shi, Ye Shisan, Hao Lei," said Tan Xiu in a deep voice. "I now order the four of you to be the captains. Each of you will lead 40 disciples and obey my orders. The rest of you will follow me. We'll be divided into five teams. Our main purpose is to hunt demonic beasts and sharpen ourselves. "
"Understood!"
The four people's expression immediately changed.
"Let's go!" Tan Xiu said. "Let's go inside and see the situation. The high-tech products you brought can also be used in the upcoming battle, especially the monitoring equipment. Especially the monitoring equipment, if used properly, it can allow us to understand the movements of the Magical Beasts in time, and also allow us to make a battle plan in time. "
Late at night.
Tang Xiu and Ye Shisan were like two phantoms that silently sneaked into the depths of the Himalayas. After the two of them crossed two peaks, an invisible pressure suddenly made them feel that their shoulders had sunk.
"There's something wrong with the gravity here, Sect Master."
Ye Shisan's expression turned particularly serious as he spoke in a low voice.
"I can feel it. The gravity here is at least five times that of the outside," Tan Xiu said. "We'll be seriously affected if we fight the demonic beasts here. Ye Shisan, you retreat first. I'll sneak inside and see the situation. Remember, don't fight the demonic beasts if you find them. Kill them if you can, but evacuate immediately if you can't. "
"I'd better go with you, Sect Master." Ye Shisan worriedly said, "I can cover your retreat if you encounter any danger inside."
"No need." Tan Xiu shook his head.
"I'll wait for you outside, then," said Ye Shisan helplessly. "Hurry up and retreat if you encounter any danger."
Tan Xiu no longer talked to Ye Shisan and watched him withdraw from the place where the gravity was wrong. Then, he released his spiritual sense, took out an Invisibility Talisman, activated it, and quietly rushed inside. Along the way, he encountered more than a dozen waves of demonic beasts, some of which exuded a very powerful aura. According to Tan Xiu's calculations, they should have the strength of the Golden Core Stage.
"Where's that big guy?"
Tan Xiu took Ye Shisan to the depths of the mountain range for two purposes this time. The first was to install a monitoring device and find out the movements of the demonic beasts inside in time. The second was to find the two-story-tall demonic beast and figure out its true strength.
"Shit!"
Tan Xiu's body suddenly tightened and he instantly retreated backward. In the blink of an eye, he had already retreated hundreds of meters away and fell into the snow pit.
Roar …
Two lion-like demonic beasts appeared nearby, exuding a huge aura. Their eyes were full of confusion. After looking around, they looked at each other and shook their heads. Just now, they keenly felt a special aura fluctuation. But in an instant, that special aura fluctuation disappeared without a trace. Not even a ghost's shadow could be seen in the surroundings.
Subsequently.
They looked around again and did not find any other special circumstances. They gradually walked into the distance and soon disappeared in this area.
Tan Xiu in the snow pit had already restrained his aura. The two lion-like demonic beasts just now brought him a strong threat. Through their aura, Tan Xiu could judge their strength. Each of them was comparable to the late Golden Core Stage. If they joined forces, even a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse might fall in their hands.
"They are very intelligent and alert."
Tan Xiu narrowed his eyes. As time passed, twenty minutes passed in a blink of an eye. However, he did not move. He still maintained that posture, controlled the aura around his body, and waited quietly.
Roar …
Four lightning-like black shadows shot from a distance. Two of them were the lion-like demonic beasts that arrived twenty minutes ago. The other two looked very strange. They were simply the legendary four odd beasts with countless sharp spikes on their backs.
Hedgehog?
Using his Divine Sense, Tan Xiu had already clearly seen the appearance of the two demonic beasts. His heart sank slightly because he knew what kind of existence a hedgehog was. Hedgehogs liked to attach themselves to powerful demonic beasts. They were very intelligent, like a cunning fox. They had always been giving advice to higher level demonic beasts.
In addition, hedgehogs also had an important talent, which was the ability to smell unusual odors. As long as there was life nearby, and it was not a demonic beast, they would be able to smell and determine the location of the enemy.
"Seal the Heavens and Earth."
Tan Xiu quickly took out two array plates. After silently engraving the array runes, he immediately used the two array plates to set up a small array around the area.
Half an hour later.
The four demonic beasts searched for a while and still did not find anything unusual. Then, they slowly left. It was not until they disappeared that Tan Xiu carefully came out of the snow pit. Under the effect of the Invisibility Talisman, he quietly left.
"Chirp, chirp."
Just as Tan Xiu came out of the Gravitational Space and felt his body lighten, he suddenly received this voice in his Sea of Knowledge. Soon, normal human language also appeared in his Sea of Knowledge.
"It's a very powerful demonic beast. It won't be easy to deal with it without unlocking the seal. Where are you now, Master? Given your cultivation level, you'll only die if you want to go against that demonic beast. "
Tan Xiu's expression shifted. After transmitting his thought, he was pleasantly surprised. "You sensed it, Star Devourer Insect?"
"That's right. I sensed it, and it seems to have sensed me," said Star Devourer Insect. "Let's … get out of here quickly."
"Don't worry. Can you sense the situation here?" asked Tan Xiu. "How can demonic beasts appear on Earth?"
