Immortal Path Space

After taking charge of the newly recruited guard squad, Liu Wenlie reorganized the entire squad.

He grouped every ten individuals into a small team, appointing a team leader for each. Ten small teams formed a platoon, with one platoon leader.

After the reorganization, they cleared a flat area within the Mountain cave. This space allowed one platoon to practice at a time, rotating among all the platoons, promoting familiarity and coordination among the members.

They had been hiding in this Mountain cave for over half a year now. During this time, several waves of scavenging Demonic Beasts outside had been poisoned to death.

The Demonic Beasts that succumbed to the poison had become prey for other Demonic Beasts. Consequently, a thick layer of bones now covered the ground beneath the Demonic Beast corpses.

The ones still alive here were no longer afraid of the Devouring Spirit Poison.

They were unsure of the current situation outside, but the nearby Demonic Beasts never strayed far, and their roars were constant.

Qi Shaoqing and dozens of others, who had sought refuge in this Mountain cave while being pursued by Demonic Beasts, had been hiding here for over half a year. They had already exhausted their supplies of food.

Foundation Building cultivators couldn't entirely abstain from eating; they still needed nourishment. Without it, they would eventually starve.

Now, they lay at the cave entrance, quietly waiting for any isolated Demonic Beast to pass by. Their only option now was to ambush these solitary Demonic Beasts and survive on their meat.

However, Demonic Beast meat needed to be processed by a professional Spirit Meal Master before consumption. Unprocessed Demonic Beast meat not only tasted unpleasant but also contained residual demonic energy. Prolonged consumption would harm cultivators. As a result, they all had mild symptoms of irritability and red eyes.

Qi Shaoqing stared intently at an injured Demon Wolf outside, about a hundred yards away from them. Normally, they wouldn't have paid much attention to a wounded Demon Wolf, but they dared not rush out to kill it, fearing it might attract more Demonic Beasts with too much commotion.

All they could do was wait for the Demon Wolf to come closer and attempt a swift, fatal strike. To achieve this, they had even left a small piece of meat uneaten at the cave entrance, specifically to lure the Demonic Beast closer.

For the past half year, the Beast Tide had been continuously attacking the second defensive line.

Thanks to the time bought by the first defensive line, the second defensive line had become even stronger, with a more concentrated defensive force. As a result, the Demonic Beasts had failed to breach it.

However, the Demonic Beasts had gathered in greater numbers outside the second defensive line. Now, the areas where Wang Hong, Qi Shaoqing, and others were hiding were all within the Beast Tide's range.

On this day, in the Mountain cave where Wang Hong and his group were hiding, a hundred Qi Cultivation cultivators were practicing. Liu Wenlie was shouting loudly from the sidelines.

Just then, Wen Lan rushed to find Wang Hong.

"East Master, a large group of Demonic Beasts has gathered at the entrance. It seems they want to attack the formation guarding the entrance."

Their formation at the entrance could create a convincing illusion, blending seamlessly with the surrounding rock walls. With the limited intelligence of the Demonic Beasts, they shouldn't have been able to detect it.

"Oh, quickly take me there!" Wang Hong responded, hastening towards the entrance. Outside, a vast assembly of Demonic Beasts had already gathered, and what was even more surprising was that these Demonic Beasts of different species coexisted peacefully, crowded together.

Suddenly, a roar emanated from the midst of the horde, and all the Demonic Beasts surged toward the formation guarding the Mountain cave entrance. It was unclear how they had discovered the formation, but the resulting impact sent shockwaves rippling through the outermost layers of the formation.

These Demonic Beasts were coming on with overwhelming force, causing the outermost layer of the formation to dim quickly. If they continued to attack like this, it wouldn't hold for much longer.

Wang Hong took out another bottle of Devouring Spirit Poison and silently sent it outside using his Spiritual Power. He then shattered the bottle.

Unfortunately, he had exhausted his supply of Red Powdered Skeleton Flower Pollen during their last retreat. Although he had managed to gather some more recently, the quantity was limited.

This Devouring Spirit Poison, although invisible, took a while to take effect.

The Demonic Beasts outside seemed unaffected by the poison and continued their relentless assault on the formation.

"Have Luo Zhongjie lead a group to defend the entrance," Wang Hong instructed Wen Lan by his side.

There was no time to worry about alerting the enemy. Since the Demon Clan had organized so many Demonic Beasts to attack the Mountain cave, they must have already been discovered.

Luo Zhongjie quickly brought a group of Foundation Building cultivators to the entrance. They wielded Spiritual Weapons and began attacking the Demonic Beasts outside, trying to slow down their assault on the formation.

Rows of Spiritual Weapons flew out of the Mountain cave, harvesting the lives of countless Demonic Beasts.

Wang Hong, on the other hand, was busy reinforcing the formation. As he worked on it, the first layer of the formation gradually dimmed and eventually shattered.

With no other option, he continued to fortify the second layer of the formation.

Luo Zhongjie and his group were pushing their Spiritual Weapons to the limit, but they still couldn't eliminate the seemingly endless waves of Demonic Beasts.

The entrance was relatively narrow, making it impossible to deploy too many cultivators there.

Meanwhile, Qi Shaoqing and his companions were lying in wait at the entrance, listening to the continuous roars in the distance.

Looking up, they saw a multitude of Demonic Beasts gathered more than two miles away, surrounding a peak.

Immortal cultivators had better vision, and at a distance of over two miles, with an unobstructed view, they could get a rough idea of what was happening.

Countless Demonic Beasts were attacking in unison, converging in one direction.

"It turns out there are also cultivators hiding in that peak. I wonder who they are," one of the cultivators by Qi Shaoqing's side remarked.

"In this vicinity, it's just a handful of us. The direction of retreat shouldn't be too far off. Junior Brother Shi was swallowed by that Tier Three Demonic Beast, so the likelihood is that it's Wang Hong."

"Can Wang Hong and his small group really make it here without casualties? I remember they were fighting a large group of Demonic Beasts that day."

Qi Shaoqing replied, "The chances are higher for Junior Brother Wang. Although his group is small, they consist of elite warriors."

"So, what should we do? Should we help them?" another cultivator by Qi Shaoqing asked.

"With just a few dozen of us, we don't even have the power to protect ourselves. There's no way we can provide assistance."

"Yeah, you're right. They probably won't last much longer either."

An hour later, the battle ahead showed no signs of ending.

Two hours later, the battle raged on.

Three hours later, it continued.

After half a day, another layer of the formation at the entrance was breached, and the Foundation Building cultivators guarding it had rotated through several waves.

At this moment, inside the Mountain cave behind them, countless small snakes emerged from the rocky crevices.

These small snakes were all green in color, not very large, but exceptionally agile.

Once these Demonic Beasts entered the Mountain cave, they attacked humans on sight, and a fierce battle erupted among them and the cultivators inside the Mountain cave.
