The leader of the beast horde was extremely smart. Once the cultivators moved out, it would send flying exotic beasts to attack the clansmen so that they could keep the cultivators at bay.
When the ordinary humans and weaker cultivators saw the beast horde in the sky, they all hid in their houses or underground bunkers like Ka Cha.
Now, it was a battle between the powerful cultivators and the exotic beasts.
The Little Blue Dragon carried Yang Tian out of the territory and flew straight ahead. They landed in a place where there were relatively fewer beasts.
There was a exotic beast there. It was seven meters long and had a single horn. It was covered in faint red fur and looked rather similar to a cow.
Clearly, it was a herbivorous exotic beast. However, in a beast horde like this, both carnivorous and herbivorous exotic beasts only had humans as their enemies. They would only be hunted down by the carnivorous exotic beasts after the beast horde ended.
As soon as they landed, Yang Tian charged at the exotic beast with his blade.
It was also a Returnance exotic beast. The Little Blue Dragon had chosen it as its target.
Without his cells lighting up like before, Yang Tian's battle prowess was no longer as great as before. His speed had also slowed down.
Faced with Yang Tian's charge, the exotic beast lowered its head and charged at Yang Tian.
When the two of them came into contact, Yang Tian quickly dodged to the side and slashed at the exotic beast with his blade.
During this process, there was a plop.
The slash was actually unable to cut through the exotic beast's skin.
Yang Tian was surprised and dodged to the side.
This was because there was a whooshing sound in front of him. A black shadow was whipping at him.
The exotic beast had a long tail, which was also its weapon.
The tail brushed past Yang Tian's face, causing a gust of wind that made Yang Tian's face hurt.
If he had been struck by the tail, he would definitely have been injured.
The powerful tail made up for the exotic beast's inability to turn around nimbly, preventing enemies from attacking it from the sides or behind.
Yang Tian wasn't the only one dealing with this exotic beast. There was also the Little Blue Dragon!
When Yang Tian dodged to the side, the Little Blue Dragon happened to be charging at him. Its tail slapped the side of the exotic beast's head. It looked like a slap to the exotic beast's face.
"Peng ~" A muffled sound was heard.
Although the Little Blue Dragon's current realm wasn't as high as this exotic beast's, its physical strength was very strong.
The unicorn fell to the ground after being slapped by the Little Blue Dragon's tail. Yang Tian seized the opportunity and flashed to the side of the exotic beast, stabbing his blade into its neck before it could turn over.
At this moment, a powerful origin power surged out from the blade and destroyed most of the unicorn's internal organs.
The unicorn's eyes were wide open. It twitched a little before it died completely.
It took less than twenty seconds from the beginning of the attack to the end of the exotic beast.
As soon as the unicorn was killed, a slender exotic beast that looked like a cheetah with light blue scales pounced from the side.
Yang Tian didn't have time to retrieve the Life Crystal in the beast's carcass. He pulled out his sword and attacked the blue leopard.
The Little Blue Dragon was very eager for the Life Crystal in the exotic beast's carcass. It took the opportunity to land on the ground.
"Hiss ~"
At this moment, Yang Tian swung his sword at the blue leopard. Under the control of his spiritual power, three red sword auras slashed at the blue leopard from three different directions.
"Boom, boom, boom …"
As Yang Tian expected, the blue leopard was extremely fast. It twisted its body a few times and dodged to the side agilely. Yang Tian's three sword auras missed and hit the ground, creating three trenches in the ground.
During the battle, Yang Tian glanced at the Little Blue Dragon.
He saw the Little Blue Dragon lying beside the carcass. It opened its mouth wide and bit down on the carcass' neck, tearing off a large chunk of meat.
The Little Blue Dragon rarely bit down in battle. He didn't think it would be so powerful!
After dodging Yang Tian's attack, the blue leopard flashed and charged at Yang Tian once more.
Yang Tian went up to meet it once more.
One man and one beast, their figures flashed non-stop as they tangled together.
There were also cultivators fighting exotic beasts nearby.
The cultivators who could fight the beasts seemed to be even more powerful than Yang Tian. They easily slew the Returnance beasts one by one and removed their life crystals from their corpses.
Although they all had storage tools, these cultivators followed the rules. After finding their Life Crystals, they put them in the leather pouches hanging from their waists.
Many of the powerful cultivators' pouches were filled to the brim with Life Crystals.
Seeing this, Yang Tian felt envious.
The Little Blue Dragon quickly tore open the carcass and found a Life Crystal the size of a goose egg. It directly swallowed it.
The Little Blue Dragon desired to become stronger. It obviously wouldn't let go of such an opportunity.
After swallowing the Life Crystal, the Little Blue Dragon turned around and fought the blue leopard with Yang Tian.
The blue leopard was extremely cunning. After the Little Blue Dragon joined the battle, it immediately turned around and fled into the distance.
However, before it could run very far, an arrow suddenly flew out of nowhere and stabbed into its forehead.
Afterward, a black-robed man with a bow arrived. He cut open the blue leopard's carcass with a blade and took out a silver-white Life Crystal.
Yang Tian was very familiar with this black-robed man. He was the Hei Xuanwen General who had tested Yang Tian in the mine.
After taking the Life Crystal, Hei Xuanwen General arrived before Yang Tian with a few flashes.
At this moment, Hei Xuanwen General radiated with a powerful presence. Yang Tian estimated that he was a cultivator of the Illusion Realm at the very least.
If one was a cultivator of the Illusion Realm based on whether or not they had an energy world within them, then Yang Tian was one. This was because he had the Origin Realm within him.
However, Yang Tian was only a Returnance cultivator right now.
He could probably only use the battle prowess of the Illusion Realm after breaking through to Returnance.
"Not bad!
You've actually reached Returnance in such a short amount of time!
Did you consume some kind of pill? "
Hei Xuanwen General looked at Yang Tian and asked out of curiosity.
Yang Tian did not know how to answer, so he only nodded.
"Work hard!
I have high hopes for you. Once this battle is over, I'll take care of you. "With that, Hei Xuanwen General tossed the Life Crystal in his hand to the Little Blue Dragon.
Little Azure Dragon did not reject the Life Crystal. It immediately held the Life Crystal in its mouth, stretched its neck and swallowed it into its stomach.
Hei Xuanwen General smiled and left in a flash.
After swallowing two Life Crystals, the Little Blue Dragon's presence became chaotic. It was sometimes strong and sometimes weak.
It was obvious that the Little Blue Dragon was about to break through.
"Xiao Long, let's retreat," Yang Tian immediately said to the Little Blue Dragon after glancing around.
At this moment, the flying beasts in the sky had already circled above the ancestral ground. They would swoop down in groups from time to time.
Many of the attacking cultivators received the order and began to retreat.
Killing the beasts for Life Crystals was very important, but it was more important to preserve the ancestral ground.
Yang Tian and the Little Blue Dragon had just retreated to a broken wall when a 'red cloud' suddenly appeared in the distant sky.
The 'red cloud' was extremely fast. In a few blinks of an eye, it had arrived above the ancestral ground.
Seeing the red things, Yang Tian could not help but widen his eyes in shock.
This was because the 'red cloud' was actually a large group of red mechs.
No, they were not mechs, but machines.
When he was in the mine, Yang Tian had heard the dead Bai Song mention that there were machines on this continent.
Yang Tian's understanding was that the machines were robots controlled by artificial intelligence.
As soon as the machines arrived, they began to attack the flying beasts in the sky.
Compared to the cultivators, the machines used high-tech weapons with shocking lethality. Large groups of flying beasts were killed and fell from the sky.
Of course, there were also quite a few 'robots' that fell from the sky under the attacks of the exotic beasts, smashing into the ground and exploding into fireballs, like highly explosive bombs.
