A bitter expression appeared on Aquababe's face as she said in a low voice, "I'm afraid there are more than a thousand demonic beasts gathered here. We haven't found any special demonic beasts, but some of them are probably very strong. According to the standard of demonic beasts we've set, they should have exceeded D-class. "
Duanmu Lin gasped and said in amazement, "If there really is such a huge number of demonic beasts and many of them are D-class, our blockade line won't be able to withstand it. They can easily tear us to pieces. "
The demonic beasts' grading was jointly formulated by Duanmu Lin and many cultivators after fighting them. From low to high, they were classified as F-class demonic beasts, E-class demonic beasts that could contend with Qi Refining Stage cultivators, D-class demonic beasts that could contend with Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators, C-class demonic beasts that could contend with Golden Core Stage cultivators, and B-class demonic beasts that could contend with Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. A-class demonic beasts were comparable to Spirit Formation Stage cultivators.
Further up, there were even higher grades, namely S-class, SS class, and SSS class.
So far, the strongest magical beast that had been discovered was the one that was as tall as a two-story building. However, it was only evaluated to be a B-rank.
B-class demonic beasts were comparable to Nascent Soul Stage cultivators. Just this terrifying demonic beast alone was enough to make Duanmu Lin and the cultivators of China feel a chill down their spines. However, even if they felt a chill down their spines, everyone's mind was as clear as a mirror. They must find a way to get rid of it, else the entire China would fall into a state of misery and suffering.
"Aquababe, send the grade standard of our team's demonic beasts to Tan Xiu," Duanmu Lin gave the stack of photos back to Aquababe and seriously ordered.
Aquababe nodded and quickly sent the information to Tan Xiu. Then, she asked, "What should we do next, Chief? What should we do if there are thousands of demonic beasts gathered here, or if more of them attack our blockade line? We can't stop them by relying on the current armed forces of the blockade line. "
A chilling look flashed in Duanmu Lin's eyes as he asked, "Has General Wang Tao arrived?"
Aquababe nodded and said, "They've arrived. They're deploying the military defense in the periphery."
"Let's go see him," said Duanmu Lin. "We must set up the armed defense system in Ugley, and all the firearms must be ready. If it really comes to the last step and there's no other way, we can only use the powerful firearms."
The Himalayas.
Tan Xiu led the disciples of the sect and carefully observed the surrounding environment. In the snow-covered mountains, the cold wind howled. Even though they were all martial cultivators, they could still feel the bone-piercing chill. What surprised the 37 Tang Sect disciples was that Tang 28's group of five was not any slower than them.
"One o 'clock direction, estimated to be about 1,300 meters away. More than a dozen magical beasts have been spotted. In addition, there are no other magical beasts around those dozen or so magical beasts, but it is not ruled out that there are hidden magical beasts in my blind spots. "Xue Sha, who was next to Tan Xiu, suddenly had a change in expression and quickly reported.
Tan Xiu looked in the direction of one o 'clock. His eyes instantly narrowed as he nodded and said, "Let's test our skills first since we only found a dozen demonic beasts! Gu Yin, you can use the immortal sword your Senior Sister gave you. "
"I'll definitely kill a lot of demonic beasts, Master," said Gu Yin respectfully.
Tan Xiu let out a faint smile and said, "Keep in mind that killing demonic beasts is important, but your safety is more important. Where there's life, there's hope. You can kill a lot of demonic beasts in the future as long as you can ensure your own survival. Even … enemies. "
Gu Yin had been with the original members of the Everlasting Feast Hall for a long time, so she naturally learned a lot about the missions they performed in the past. Influenced by their style, she gradually understood the cruelty of the world. She was very strong and even a bit stubborn. Having been tortured by illness, her nerves had long since been tempered to be extraordinarily tough. Therefore, she dared to kill as long as it was an enemy.
Quickly.
Everyone quietly approached the demonic beasts. Just as they were about 200 meters away from them, more than a dozen demonic beasts finally noticed that someone was approaching. Almost without hesitation, they roared and pounced toward them.
"KILL!"
Tan Xiu didn't use his divine sword. Instead, he grabbed a two-meter-long saber that exuded a dark and misty aura. This saber was obtained by Tan Xiu from the Diablo Praecantator Clan in the pocket world of Kunlun Mountain. He still had a lot of these weapons, more than tens of millions of them.
The saber energy was like a rainbow.
It split the sky and covered the earth.
The two demonic beasts with spikes all over their bodies were instantly cleaved into two halves by the saber. The violent saber energy made the other demonic beasts look fearful and flee in all directions. At this moment, more than 40 Foundation Establishment experts, including Tang 28, launched fierce attacks.
Puff …
A demonic beast that was evading the saber energy was pierced by Gu Yin's sword. The immortal sword even tore its abdomen and scattered its internal organs on the ground due to the immense force.
"It's easy to kill them!"
Gu Yin didn't feel uncomfortable due to her first killing and instead looked a bit excited. She nodded with satisfaction as the immortal sword was pulled out of the demonic beast's body.
"Watch out!"
Xue Sha, who had been following Gu Yin, noticed that the demonic beast that had its body torn apart wasn't dead yet. It even slashed its lightning-fast claws toward Gu Yin. He immediately slashed the immortal sword in his hand and directly cut off the two sharp claws in front of it. He then took the opportunity to chop off its head, thus solving Gu Yin's crisis.
Huff …
Gu Yin was scared by the sudden danger and her hands and feet turned cold. She never expected that the demonic beast she had injured would have such a tenacious vitality. Not only did it not die directly, but it also counterattacked her. She could feel that the Grim Reaper was just above her. She would've been either dead or crippled if Xue Sha hadn't acted in time.
"Be careful."
Xue Sha sighed inwardly and kicked the demonic beast's body away.
Gu Yin hurriedly nodded and gratefully looked at Xue Sha. "Thank you, Uncle Xue Sha. I would've been killed by that demonic beast if you hadn't saved me in time."
"We're on the same side. Besides, you're Sovereign's disciple," said Xue Sha. "I'll protect your safety even if I have to risk my life. However, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing. Sometimes, I'm afraid I won't be able to save you even if I find you in danger. Hence, you must pay attention to your own safety during the battle and never take it lightly. "
"En."
Gu Yin hurriedly nodded and her expression turned particularly solemn.
After killing the two demonic beasts, Tan Xiu didn't continue to attack. This was the best opportunity for the Tang Sect's disciples to hone their skills. He needed them to have rich combat experience so that they could survive better in the future.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, his expression slightly changed because Xue Sha kicked the demonic beast's body near him. He found a Black Crystal on the wound of the demonic beast's body, which unexpectedly flowed out along with its internal organs and blood.
"What's this?"
Tan Xiu's thought moved and sucked the Black Crystal into his hand. Suddenly, his pupils shrunk and an incredulous look appeared on his face. A Demon Nucleus?
Such a low-level demonic beast actually has a Demon Nucleus? It must be noted that he had been to the Demon Realm several times and carried out massacres there. The number of demonic beasts he killed was definitely in the millions, but Demon Nuclei could only be found in high-ranking demonic beasts. Even the weakest of those high-ranking demonic beasts had the strength of an Immortal.
Shortly after …
Tan Xiu quickly dissected the bodies of several demonic beasts nearby and quickly found several Demon Nuclei. Holding these Demon Nuclei in his hand, Tan Xiu tried to absorb the demonic power essence inside. To his surprise, the demonic power essence inside the Demon Nuclei was exceptionally abundant. Even the demonic power contained in 10 Demon Stones was not as much as the demonic power contained in one Demon Nucleus.
"That's great!"
Tang Xiu's heart was filled with joy. He looked at the remaining four or five demonic beasts that were still struggling to resist. His figure flickered as his long saber turned into a blade light and directly killed all of them.
"Dissect the bodies and see if they have such Demon Nuclei in their bodies."
Upon hearing this, several Tang Sect's disciples immediately dissected the demonic beasts' bodies according to Tan Xiu's order and smoothly found a Demon Nucleus in their bodies.
"13 demonic beasts, 13 Demon Nuclei. This shows that each demonic beast has a Demon Nucleus in its body. I'm rich! The number of demonic beasts in this mountain range is simply in the tens of thousands. If I can get all the Demon Nuclei in these demonic beasts' bodies, it'll be like getting a treasure. I won't be lacking in cultivation resources until I reach the Immortal realm. "
Tan Xiu's eyes were particularly bright. After glancing at the demonic beasts' bodies, he took out the communicator given to him by Duanmu Lin, wrote a short message, and sent it to Mo Awu, Jin Shi, Ye Shisan, and Hao Lei respectively. [There's a black rhombus-shaped Demon Nucleus in these demonic beasts' bodies. Dissect all the demonic beasts you killed and dig out their Demon Nuclei.
Then …
He then dialed Duanmu Lin's communicator number.
"Hello, Tan Xiu."
Duanmu Lin's voice came from the communicator.
"Senior Duanmu, can we discuss something?" asked Tan Xiu.
"What is it?" asked Duanmu Lin curiously.
"Sell all the demonic beasts' bodies you killed to me," said Tan Xiu. "There's no problem with the price, but I need these demonic beasts' bodies to collect the materials from them for my cultivation in the future."
"You can collect useful materials from demonic beasts' bodies?" asked Duanmu Lin curiously.
"The materials from demonic beasts' bodies are useless to ordinary cultivators, but they're very useful to me," said Tan Xiu. "My cultivation speed will be greatly accelerated if I can get a lot of demonic beasts' bodies."
