Hun Sen's body suddenly trembled and he quickly pointed to the left and said in horror, "Jiang Shuisheng, do you feel it? It's like a huge danger is coming our way. It should be … a demonic beast, and a very powerful one at that. "
Jiang Shuisheng nodded with a solemn expression. "Yeah, I can feel it too. Damn it, the smell of blood in the valley must have attracted the demonic beasts. Let's hide quickly. "
"Understood!"
Two minutes later.
Two people were hiding in a hidden corner of a mountain peak with pale faces. Their guess just now was wrong. The sense of crisis they felt was not brought by a very powerful fierce beast, but by hundreds of magical beasts whizzing over.
"At least 400 demonic beasts."
Hun Sen's mouth twitched a few times and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Jiang Shuisheng took out a pair of binoculars he got from Duanmu Lin and quickly looked into the valley. A look of disbelief was immediately cast on his face when he saw the situation inside. There were no demonic beasts or humans in the valley, nor was there any battle. But the ground was covered with blood and the surroundings were in a mess. It was obvious that a fierce battle had taken place there not long ago.
"There's no mistake about it. Someone fought with the demonic beasts. Damn! Could it be Tan Xiu and his men? Did that brat die in the mouths of the demonic beasts and become their food? " Jiang Shuisheng cursed. Although he didn't like Tan Xiu, they were now facing a common enemy, so he didn't have any hostility toward Tan Xiu. Naturally, he didn't want Tan Xiu to die in the mouths of the demonic beasts.
Hun Sen also took out his binoculars and could clearly see the situation in the valley. A wry smile appeared on the square-shaped face and he helplessly said, "What else is there to guess? That surnamed Tang and his men must've been killed since they were besieged by the demonic beasts. Alas, young and frivolous. They really don't know the meaning of death! "
Jiang Shuisheng was silent for a moment and then said, "We can't stay here for long, Hun Sen. The demonic beasts will easily find us if they're searching in the surroundings. Let's get out of here and go back to report the situation to Duanmu Lin. Tell him that Tan Xiu is dead. "
Having made up their minds, the duo no longer hesitated and quickly rushed toward the periphery of the Himalayas.
On the outskirts of the Himalayas.
When Tan Xiu came out with dozens of sect disciples, more than a dozen cultivators immediately came to greet them. Duanmu Lin took the lead, but when he saw the appearance of the people around Tan Xiu, he could not help but gasp. Just by looking at the injuries on their bodies, he could tell that the disciples of Tan Xiu's sect had been through an intense battle.
"Tan Xiu, are you okay?"
Duanmu Lin's eyes were filled with respect as he asked with concern.
"It's nothing serious." Tan Xiu shook his head and said with a smile, "Some of them are just seriously injured, but they'll recover very quickly as long as they take good care of their injuries. Senior Duanmu, is the blockade here safe? "
Duanmu Lin smiled bitterly and said, "It's safe for now, but I don't know what will happen next! The members of our investigation department risked their lives to place the monitors inside. The monitoring screen shows that a large number of demonic beasts are gathering there. It's been a long time and there are at least two to three thousand demonic beasts there, but they haven't attacked the outside yet. What I'm worried about now is that we won't be able to defend if more demonic beasts gather there and attack at the same time! "
Two to three thousand?
And they're still gathering?
Tan Xiu's expression turned particularly solemn and he asked in a deep voice, "Is there such a gathering every time a demonic beast tide appears?"
"That's right. It's like this every time." Duanmu Lin nodded and said, "As long as the number exceeds a thousand, there will be a short gathering. However, the gathering time this time is a bit long and the number is a bit too much. The only thing we can do now is to use airplanes and cannons to bombard the area once the number of demonic beasts exceeds a thousand. "
Tan Xiu's heart slowly sank. Even if the airplanes and cannons were to be used to bombard the area, there was no way to eliminate all of them. Besides, it was very likely that more demonic beasts would flock to them if they were thoroughly enraged. Most importantly, the corpses of the demonic beasts would be destroyed if the airplanes and cannons were used to bombard them, and he wouldn't be able to use the demonic beasts to train the Tang Sect's disciples.
"Senior Duanmu, don't be in a hurry to bombard them with airplanes and cannons. I need the precise coordinates of where the demonic beasts are gathering and then I'll go there to investigate the situation. I'm well aware of how powerful the demonic beast tide is. If we can't make them stop attacking in advance, even the airplanes and cannons won't be able to play much of a role. If a large number of demonic beasts rush outside, it will cause great damage, "said Tan Xiu with a solemn expression.
Duanmu Lin forced a smile and said, "I'm also aware of this situation! Duanmu Lin forced a smile. "It's just that … alas, there's nothing we can do to disperse them. I don't know how to make them stop gathering and give up attacking our blockade line."
"Leave it to me. You're in charge of monitoring it," said Tan Xiu in a deep voice.
"What are you going to do?" asked Duanmu Lin quickly.
"I haven't paid attention to it yet. Let's wait until we get inside," answered Tan Xiu.
After saying that, he turned to look at the Tang Sect's disciples and ordered in a deep voice, "Xue Sha, take them back to the camp to rest. Hurry up and distribute the healing pills to them so that they can recover their strength as soon as possible. Gu Yin, you're a Golden Core Stage expert and protect them. "
Xue Sha and Gu Yin nodded at the same time.
Tan Xiu looked at Duanmu Lin again and said, "Senior Duanmu, we'll communicate with each other at any time. I'll go inside and check the situation first. Do remember to tell Aquababe to send me the precise coordinates of where the demonic beasts are gathering."
Having said that …
His figure was as fast as lightning and disappeared into the distant mountain peak in just a few breaths.
At Duanmu Lin's side, more than a dozen cultivators stared at the spot where Tang Xiu disappeared with a dumbfounded expression. One of them, a burly middle-aged man, said with an incredulous expression, "His speed is so fast! Even an expert at the Foundation Establishment Stage can't be that fast, no? Is he a Golden Core Stage expert? "
Duanmu Lin shook his head. His eyes then fell on Gu Yin and asked with a strange expression, "What did Tan Xiu just say? He said that you're a Golden Core Stage expert? "
"That's right. I'm at the mid-stage of Golden Core." Gu Yin nodded.
Duanmu Lin's eyes widened. Like the others around him, he looked incredulous and said, "How is this possible? You're so young. Even if you started cultivating since you were born, it's impossible for you to cultivate to this level, no? Golden Core Stage? This … "
"Director Duanmu, there's a kind of ability in this world that's called gifted talent," said Xue Sha. "Gu Yin is the disciple of our Sect Master, so her cultivation talent is naturally extraordinary. We're all injured, so we can't talk with you anymore. We'll fight side by side with you and everyone else after we've recovered. "
Having said that …
He didn't give Duanmu Lin any more time to speak and led the Tang Sect's disciples to the camp outside. They quickly disappeared from the sight of Duanmu Lin and more than a dozen cultivators.
The burly middle-aged man looked at the direction they left and shook his head. "I can believe that Tan Xiu has cultivated to the Golden Core Stage. But for a 10-year-old girl to cultivate to the Golden Core Stage is simply a joke. I've been cultivating for more than 40 years, yet I'm only at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment. It's extremely difficult for me to break through to the late-stage of Foundation Establishment. "
Another cultivator nodded and said, "This old man has been cultivating for more than 140 years and has taken a lot of heavenly treasures, yet I've barely broken through to the Golden Core Stage. I haven't even stabilized my realm yet. That little girl has cultivated to the mid-stage of Golden Core and is even stronger than me? I absolutely won't believe it. "
Duanmu Lin pondered for a moment. Then, he suddenly smiled and said, "I think it's possible. That cultivator called Xue Sha just said very clearly that there are indeed some people in this world who are gifted in cultivation. Maybe she really has broken through to the mid-stage of Golden Core! As for Tan Xiu, I'm really looking forward to seeing him now. "
"I don't believe it."
"I don't believe it either."
The others shook their heads, expressing their disbelief that Gu Yin's cultivation had reached the mid-stage of Golden Core. It must be noted that even if she was gifted, breaking through to the Golden Core Stage at the age of 10 was too heaven-defying. It was so heaven-defying that they didn't even dare to imagine it. If Gu Yin was in her twenties, perhaps they could reluctantly accept it.
"Forget it. Let's not talk about this anymore." Duanmu Lin smiled. "Our top priority now is to seize the time to arrange the defense. Once those 2,000 to 3,000 demonic beasts rush out, we must be ready to fight to the death. Wait … what about Hun Sen and Jiang Shuisheng? They followed Tan Xiu and entered the depths of the mountain range. Now that Tan Xiu has come out, why haven't Hun Sen and Jiang Shuisheng come out? "
Hun Sen?
Jiang Shuisheng?
The two of them also entered the mountain range?
A strange expression appeared on everyone's faces. But then they recalled that Tan Xiu and his men were able to come out of the mountain range alive. Perhaps the two of them had lost their way inside, so they hadn't come out for the time being!
"Look! Isn't that them?"
Suddenly, one of the middle-aged men pointed to the depths of the mountain range.
Duanmu Lin and the others looked in the direction the middle-aged man pointed and immediately saw two battered and exhausted figures shooting out from the inside. In just a few seconds, the two figures appeared in front of everyone.
"Director Duanmu."
With a bit of regret on his face, Hun Sen shook his head and sighed. "I'm afraid I have to report something very regrettable to you."
"What is it?" asked Duanmu Lin with a frown.
"That Tang brat and his men have probably died tragically in the mouths of demonic beasts and become their food." Hun Sen sighed. "We've been chasing them for a long time and found traces of them fighting with demonic beasts, but we didn't see any trace of them."
