The night was pitch black, without any light around; only the howling wind at the mountaintop, whipping the campfire into a frenzy.
In such a situation, beyond fifty ters was complete darkness. This atmosphere alone was enough to scare so people to death.
"They’re here!"
Li Yan and Lv San spoke almost simultaneously.
Although they couldn’t see, they both possessed the ear divine power.
The sounds they heard were completely different.
Lv San could hear the language of birds and beasts. He heard countless wild beasts afar, roaring madly, each voice distinct, but all engulfed in frenzy, with killing intent surging like a tide...
Li Yan could hear the voices of Ghost Gods. In his ears, it seed as though countless creatures were wailing, mixed with human screams...
Even he felt his back tighten, goosebumps rising.
In contrast, Sha Lifei and Wu Ba couldn’t hear or see anything, naturally fearless, tightly gripping their weapons.
Staring into the darkness below the mountain, Li Yan ford a spell with his fingers, flicked his little finger, and closed his eyes. The Grass Spirit Paper Man imdiately flew into the night.
Through the paper man’s perspective, he finally saw the enemy.
With just a glance, he felt his scalp tingle.
Looking out, it was filled with countless wild beasts.
Black bears, tigers, leopards, jackals, wild boars, pythons... almost every nad creature was present.
He had known there were many animals in Shennongjia. When they had entered the mountains earlier, they had slled many scents, but all had hidden away.
After all, their aura was not sothing to ss with.
Now, with the gathering of beasts, he realized how bustling Shennongjia was.
Fortunately, the fierce beasts were few. There were more creatures like wild rabbits, musk deer, monkeys, badgers, and foxes.
As for the Divine Kui driving the beasts, none could be seen.
Upon seeing this, Li Yan thought to himself that sothing was wrong.
The weakest beasts rushed directly into the dense forest below the mountain, imdiately triggering the Earth Fire Bombs.
Boom, boom, boom!
Accompanied by a series of explosions, dirt flew, and flesh and blood splattered.
"It went off! How many died?"
On the mountaintop, Sha Lifei looked excited.
From the Longxiang Army, they had acquired a large amount of ordinary gunpowder. He had found these things useless and turned them all into Earth Fire Bombs.
The Earth Fire Bomb from the "Thunderclap Fire Scripture" required an iron-cast or ceramic shell. More crucial was a small device packed with fire stone and phosphorus powder.
Sha Lifei didn’t have much at hand, so he used the large water storage jars of the Jing People for his modifications.
Although he didn’t use new-style gunpowder, he used ordinary gunpowder freely and placed many stones around, so the power was naturally formidable.
However, Li Yan, with his eyes closed, shook his head and said, "It’s useless. The Shen Kui Tribe, fighting with the Heavenly Saint Army, had already learned how to deal with gunpowder."
"All that died were small animals, not a single fierce beast was hard."
"What?!"
Hearing this, Sha Lifei was sowhat disappointed.
Li Yan couldn’t bother to explain further and continued to observe the enemy.
Indeed, after the dense smoke in the jungle cleared, it was a scene of desolation, with corpses everywhere. The remaining small animals were frightened by the terrifying explosion and scattered everywhere.
The fierce beasts continued forward.
Upon reaching the mountainside, these beasts also stopped.
Lv San’s Mountain Ghost Ban had taken effect.
The fierce beasts circled in place, extrely uneasy and even sowhat manic, beginning to bite each other.
But even so, they wouldn’t take another step forward.
Just when Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief, more enormous black shadows appeared in the dense forest behind the fierce beasts.
Mule-headed wolves!
Li Yan’s expression turned serious.
He hadn’t expected that even such monsters could be driven by the Divine Kui Tribe.
There were about twenty or thirty mule-headed wolves, with two even larger exotic beasts behind them.
Their bodies were pitch black, with slender limbs, heads like cows, horns, but with fierce fangs.
Most distinctive was their body, resembling a black coffin.
More violent, the ground rumbled as they ran, and mule-headed wolves blocking their path couldn’t dodge in ti, getting bitten on the buttocks.
Screaming in pain, they didn’t dare to resist.
Coffin Beasts!
Li Yan had heard Village Chief Zhou of Dragon Pond Village ntion such exotic beasts, thinking they were just legends. But he didn’t expect them to actually exist in Shennongjia.
And one by one, the Divine Kui also appeared.
Though they had only one leg, they had formidable strength. With a sudden leap, they jumped seven or eight ters high, leaping out from the dense forest.
These creatures were awkwardly shaped but moved with great agility. As they jumped around, they made strange sounds of varying pitches, as if dancing so kind of Nuodance.
The fierce beasts like tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves were blocked by Lv San’s Mountain Ghost Ban, but the mule-headed wolves and Coffin Beasts were unaffected.
With their fierce teeth, they only hesitated slightly before directly crossing the ban, running up the mountain.
Simultaneously, the Yin Fog behind also surged forward, enveloping these exotic beasts, shadows lurking within, accompanied by countless cries.
The Grass Spirit Paper Man was engulfed by the Yin Fog and instantly shattered.
"Old Sha!"
Li Yan suddenly opened his eyes and shouted violently, then pulled out the Duan Chen Blade, staring intently ahead.
Sha Lifei had been ready, set the Tiger Squat Cannon diagonally towards the slope, and lit the fuse with a torch.
Boom!
With a loud bang, firelight roared.
The Tiger Squat Cannon used the new-style gunpowder. Since it was impossible to aim in the dark, all of it was used with fragnted shrapnel.
Like a torrential rain of blossoms, the dense shrapnel whistled out, covering the entire slope, instantly injuring several mule-headed wolves.
So had their legs broken and rolled down the cliff from the slope.
So had their bellies pierced and beca even more frenzied.
Unluckier ones had their heads directly shot through.
In ancient tis, martial arts experts wielded strength of a thousand pounds, drew a hard bow, used Divine Weapons. Though not of the Mystical Sect, they left tales of slaying monsters.
