Chapter 132: Flaming Spiritcrow (2/2)

As all the cultivators had to resist the streams of thick demonic energy while advancing, the rate at which they were consuming their primary energy and magic power was high. After moving forward for two hours, they found a place to set up camp. They set up layer after layer of restrictive magic arrays and began recovering their energy.

“These restrictive magic arrays that Mo Ji’s group set up are quite interesting. It could actually stop demonic energy from coming in. A pity, they can only resist the demonic energy for a moment. Besides, it seems some demonic energy can still make their way in,” said Ye Ziming with a smile.

“The demonic energy here is growing stronger and stronger. The way I see it, it won’t be long before some of the cultivators fail to resist them. And we are still just at the peripheral areas. I wonder, just how dangerous is the core area of Demon Soul Valley?” Chen Feng wondered.

“Hey, hey. If not for the fact that Brother Chen has a Prized artefact, the two of us would not have chosen to come here,” said Lu Ta with a smile.

“Prized artefact. After coming in here, I realized that having a Prized artefact alone is not enough to ensure our safety. If another Great Yao appears, tsk, tsk, most of us are as good as dead,” said Chen Feng while shaking his head.

Chen Feng had only just finished uttering those words when he felt a gust of hot air approaching from afar.

“Everyone, be on your guard. Those are Flaming Spiritcrows.” Mo Ji’s calm voice rang out once more.

“Flaming Spiritcrows. That sounds like a fire-type yao beast,” Chen Feng said inquisitively.

“Sigh, here comes trouble. Some of these cultivators are going to die. Individually, Flaming Spiritcrows are easy to handle, but they would usually appear in groups. Each of them possesses the strength of a level 1 Concealed stage cultivator,” said Ye Ziming.

“Yao beasts that flock together. Thankfully, it is not a Great Yao.” Chen Feng did not feel too concerned. He had only just broken through to level 2 of the Concealed stage and the blood energy in his body was growing exuberantly. Coincidentally, he needed an opportunity to unleash his power.

“There are so many Flaming Spiritcrows. I can make use of this opportunity to concoct some fire-type pills!” a cultivator shouted.

Majority of the cultivators, however, revealed anxious looks. The Flaming Spiritcrows had yet to arrive, but the intensity of their aura had already exceeded that of the poisonous insects they encountered earlier. Additionally, now that they no longer have the Sky Soaring Warship’s protection, some of them would surely die.

Boom!

A powerful heat wave swept forward and the hard ground was scorched to the point of blowing up. Even the air seemed as though it was being scorched. A suffocating sensation swept into their minds.

Each of the Flaming Spiritcrows was three chi square in size, around the size of a normal eagle. Its entire body was black, like that of a crow. However, it exuded raging flames. Even before reaching their camp, every one of the Flaming Spiritcrows opened their beaks and sent out fire arrows. The surrounding restrictive barriers exploded with a series of snapping sounds (1 chi = 0.333 m).

After the restrictive barriers were shattered, thick demonic energy and roiling heat waves swept over all the cultivators there.

“How could there be so many Flaming Spiritcrows?” Chen Feng’s face sank somewhat.

“There are at least a thousand of them.” Ye Ziming was somewhat dumbfounded by the sight.

“All of them are yao beasts. This is terrible. Everyone, hurry up and get into formation. Work together to fight against the enemy!” The other cultivators panicked.

Chen Feng found the time to glance at the distant Mo Ji and noticed an emotionless expression on her face. It was as though this scene before her was not a threat to her at all. The same was true of her four bodyguards, who remained still, their faces impassive. The young escort cultivators, on the other hand, revealed excitement on their faces. Some were even revealing looks of joy.

Sigh. For cultivators with low cultivation bases, these Flaming Spiritcrows are yao beasts, but for those disciples from immortal dao sects with high cultivation bases, these Flaming Spiritcrows are just high-quality supplements. Chen Feng thought to himself as he inspected the situation.

Some cultivators were anxious while some revealed eager looks on their faces.

“As expected from loose cultivators used to accepting various tasks. It seems they have gone through quite a bit.”

Sou! Sou! Sou!

Tens of fire arrows quickly fused together to form stronger and larger fire arrows. The large fire arrows shot towards the crowd of cultivators.

“This is the Flaming Spiritcrows’ long-range attack. As long as we can dodge this wave of attack, we can close in on them and kill them,” said a tall and young cultivator. He was wielding a two-zhang long dragon spear. Charging forward, he abruptly twisted his body to transform into a charging dragon, which clashed against one of the large arrows (1 zhang = 3.333 m).

The battle was joined.

“Assume formation!” The Five Heroes of Pot Mountain shouted and all five of them quickly came together to form a small-scale formation. After that, the aura radiating from their bodies began rising. Surprisingly, it was a minor Five Elements battle formation.

Chen Feng, Ye Ziming and Lu Ta formed a triangle and they were on high alert.

The large fire arrows had seemingly gained sentience and they constantly struck the crowd of cultivators from certain angles.

Chen Feng’s group of three had only just assumed their formation when a big pillar of fire descended from the sky. It was crashing down into the middle spot within their formation.

“Don’t face it head on. Dodge!” Ye Ziming quickly utilized his Voidslip technique to avoid the big pillar of fire.

Rumble! Rumble!

A one-zhang deep crater was formed from the resulting explosion. Although the ground was not as tough as rocks, it was still 10 times thicker than the soil outside. Chen Feng was quick to determine the power behind this fire arrow. It could instantly kill off normal level 3 Concealed stage cultivators and seriously wound cultivators at level 4 or 5 of the Concealed stage.
