Chapter 122 Arrival at Shimizu-bo City
Xia Yuhui was initially unaware of the beasts' intentions, but after a few breaths, his expression suddenly changed drastically, because his divine sense was blocked and he could not observe anything more than ten feet away from him.
Just as Xia Yuhui was about to do everything in his power to fight his way out, the beasts suddenly scattered and fled like startled birds.
At the same time, a voice came from afar: "Try to keep those second-tier flying cranes alive. Killing one flying crane will earn you 3000 contribution points!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Yuhui was overjoyed, for it was Daoist Luoyun who had defeated the great demon.
Xia Yuhui looked around and immediately selected the two second-tier flying cranes as his targets.
By this time, the two cranes had already fled to a distant place.
However, this distance was not insurmountable for Xia Yuhui.
A few bolts of lightning crackled around Xia Yuhui, and in an instant, he sped away at an astonishing speed.
Before five or six breaths had passed, he caught up with the two flying cranes.
Hearing the crackling sounds coming from behind, the two flying cranes had no choice but to turn around and dodge the incoming crimson lightning.
However, due to the large number of crimson lightning bolts, the two flying cranes were still hit several times. But with the physical strength of these two demonic beasts, it was not a problem for them to withstand several crimson lightning bolts.
Of course, the crimson lightning was not only deadly, but the two monsters were also paralyzed by the lightning, their speed was greatly reduced, and their feathers began to catch fire. It is likely that their internal organs had also suffered some degree of burns.
Seeing this, Xia Yuhui was overjoyed and charged forward with his long sword in hand.
The two flying cranes naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait to die. They immediately unleashed dozens of wind blades, each over three meters long. If they hit Xia Yuhui, they would probably cut him into dozens of pieces.
Xia Yuhui stared at the surging wind blades and stepped forward without flinching. This time, he absolutely could not dodge, otherwise the distance between him and the two flying cranes would only grow further.
After he shattered several wind blades with his Crimson Thunder Sword, a sturdy tortoise shell instantly enveloped Xia Yuhui and continued to spin.
The wind blades struck the tortoise shell and immediately bounced back into the trees on the left and right, causing dozens of deep cracks to appear on Xia Yuhui's left and right sides.
After repelling these attacks, Xia Yuhui used his escape technique again to quickly catch up. At this point, the distance between the two sides was already very close.
Just as the two flying cranes were about to turn their heads and prepare to release the wind blades again, their movements were forcibly stopped, and they could only let out a few heart-wrenching howls.
After Xia Yuhui finished using the Soul Devouring Technique, he immediately rushed forward and swung his sword twice, beheading the two demonic beasts.
In an instant, the two souls swiftly separated from Feihe's body and dissipated beside Xia Yuhui.
After dealing with the two demonic beasts, Xia Yuhui unleashed dozens of crimson lightning bolts, blasting them towards the surrounding flock of flying cranes. These powerful strikes instantly felled hundreds of flying cranes.
And Xia Yuhui did not stop, continuing to charge into the beast horde with his sword. Anyone he caught up with was doomed, and their souls would be devoured by Xia Yuhui.
Looking at the increasingly abundant soul power within the Azure Soul Lamp, Xia Yuhui couldn't help but reveal two rows of white teeth. He hadn't let loose like this in a long time, and now was the perfect time to vent.
Nearly half an incense stick's time later, the group finally stopped their pursuit.
Once back inside the flying boat, Daoist Luoyun finally spoke slowly from afar.
"Don't worry, once you return to Qingshui Market, you can take the monster corpses to collect contribution points."
Daoist Luoyun, facing the gazes from both sides, calmly explained.
The group reaped a great harvest, but he suffered heavy losses. He exhausted several of his trump cards to barely repel the demonic beast. By the time he turned to hunt down second-tier demonic beasts for profit, the second-tier flying cranes had already been devoured by the Foundation Establishment cultivators.
When he came to his senses and swallowed his pride to fight for it, he could only manage to grab both ends.
Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as they were worried that the Guiyun Sect might try to renege on their promise, since this was not the first time the sect had done something like this.
After dealing with the corpses of the monsters, the flying boat slowly set sail again, heading towards Qingshui Market.
Currently, most of Qingshui County's territory has been occupied by monsters, leaving only Qingshui Market and some surrounding areas, and the battle zone is not far from Qingshui Market.
During the journey, Xia Yuhui discovered several Foundation Establishment demonic beasts on the deck. However, these demonic beasts fled far away upon seeing the flying boat and did not take the initiative to attack. It is clear that powerful demonic beasts like the Flying Crane Demon are rare.
Once they entered the vicinity of Qingshui Market, the number of monsters gradually decreased, and even first-level cultivators became hard to find.
Upon arrival, the flying boat stopped outside Qingshui Market. Everyone began to disembark one after another. After Xia Yuhui finished counting the people he had brought, they entered the market.
Soon, four Foundation Establishment cultivators rushed over to greet the group.
"Senior brother, you must be tired from your journey!"
"Alright, take them away. My senior brother, the sect leader, has ordered that these fellow Daoists will be my team members from now on."
"Yes, senior brother!"
The leader, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, followed Luo Yun Dao Ren's order and led all the Qi Refining cultivators away. During this time, Xia Yu Hui saw that the eyes of the Qi Refining cultivators were filled with despair.
Xia Yuhui, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but sigh.
Clearly, this group of people has been used as cannon fodder. There are more than 500 Qi Refining cultivators here, and they will probably all perish within a month.
Xia Yuhui had no time to care about others, because he himself was in the same situation. If things went wrong, he might also lose his life on this battlefield in a few days.
"Fellow Daoists, from now on I will be your captain. You are new here and have just made a contribution, so you will rest for a month. I have already explained the rules to you. Please review them carefully after you go down. If you violate them, I will have no choice but to act according to the rules."
After gathering everyone together, Daoist Luoyun spoke in a deep voice before dismissing them.
After everyone dispersed, Xia Yuhui followed the Jin family members to a place in the market.
Today, Qingshuifang Market has been transformed into a city, with two third-tier defensive formations outside the city capable of withstanding third-tier monsters.
This time, only three third-tier demonic beasts came, so it was obviously extremely difficult, if not impossible, for the demonic beasts to break through this place.
The demon beasts are not stupid. Third-tier demon beasts already possess extraordinary intelligence, and those with noble bloodlines can even speak human language at the peak of the second tier. Their purpose is nothing more than to weaken the power of the human race. Of course, there is also the reason to drive those low-level demon beasts to their deaths.
The northern frontier is a small region, making it difficult to accommodate so many monsters.
Before long, the three of them arrived solemnly at the very center of the market, where they would receive and submit their missions.
Because of the large number of people in the market, this spot is specifically reserved for Foundation Establishment cultivators. Qi Refining cultivators cannot enter at all, but people still come and go around it, and you can see seven or eight Foundation Establishment cultivators at a glance.
After the three entered, they explained the situation to a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator inside. The Qi Refining cultivator had obviously received the message, glanced at the monster corpses the group had retrieved, and then distributed contribution points to them.
