Chapter 957 - 957 598_2

957: Chapter 598_2 957: Chapter 598_2 Dugu Yan’er couldn’t stop crying, her big brother helpless, silently standing by her side!

Yuan Baozhu came to Yuan Xiao’s side and inquired about the situation at home; she also faced questions from her elder brother, such as why they disappeared.

“It’s a long story; we were searching for two treasures, but ended up in that place.

Then we women entered the Insect Sprite World, losing contact with the men.

In the Spirit World, we lost our abilities and were trapped there for many days.

Thankfully, we had Yan Weiwei, whose Magical Treasure sustained us.

Eventually, after much effort, we managed to escape the control of the Elves!”

Yuan Xiao had no idea what sort of Elves could be so powerful?

However, the women did not disclose what these Elves had transformed into; they all tacitly understood not to speak of the events within the Spirit World to the outside, as it concerned their honor.

Yun Nan also showed concern for Yun Duoduo, asking about the situation and guessing the gist of it.

“Ah, little sister, don’t overthink it.

Maybe Jiang Tang and Ye Tian have simply gotten lost in another Spirit World.

They’ll return soon.”

Yun Duoduo, comforted by Yun Nan’s words, knew that someone as formidable as Jiang Tang couldn’t easily be trapped.

At this moment, there was no reason for them to believe that if Jiang Tang was not confined in a Spirit World, why would he have disappeared?

Xuanyuan Mengting, with Xuanyuan Jie’s care, did not divulge much.

As a woman, of course, she could not speak of what happened in the Spirit World to other men, not even to family members.

She silently endured the injustice and quietly swallowed her grievances.

Zhang Weixing was overjoyed to see Zhang Nianjiao; as long as the people were found, it didn’t matter if they didn’t see her brother-in-law, as long as her sister was well!

“Jiaojiao, you’ve suffered!”

Zhang Nianjiao shed silent tears under her brother’s care, but she knew now was not the time to cry.

The joyful tears of reuniting with family meant they could not express too many other words.

“Big brother, what’s the situation now?

Why are there so many rats?”

“Oh, these are Western Demon Beasts.

We’ve previously encountered dinosaurs, tigers, and these are rats.

As long as we strengthen the Array a bit, our own people can take a rest.”

Facing these rats, Zhang Nianjiao, as a woman, was very afraid; their scuttling and squeaking and teeth as long as wolves’ were frightening!

Many women disliked such animals, aside from insects, it would be rats!

“Kill them!

They’re disgusting!”

Zhang Weixing shook his head and said, “Killing the rats will just bring another wave.

We all would tire ourselves out.

But now there are more of us, including you; as long as we reinforce the Formation more strongly, whether these rats die doesn’t matter!”

Zhang Nianjiao looked at the rats climbing on top of the Formation, constantly gnawing with “squeak squeak squeak!”

She couldn’t help but shiver with disgust; these rats were too vile!

Everyone quieted down a little; other than when these women arrived, if they weren’t from their family, they would just watch in silence.

After all, these were eleven women; apart from being associated with some families, they were also known to Jiang Tang’s subordinates.

Now, after reuniting with their families and having a brief conversation, they approached people they knew to inquire about the situation – having heard bits of the conversation due to their sharp hearing.

As people from the base, they could not remain indifferent!

Lai Jianlin, accompanied by Ding Ling, went to Yan Weiwei’s side, already familiar enough that no introductions were needed.

“Weiwei sis, why only you?

Where’s the Saint Master?

Where’s your brother-in-law?”

Ding Ling’s question was met with Yan Weiwei shaking her head, unable to answer.

“Sister, perhaps the Saint Master is just held up by some matter.

Let’s just wait here for him,” Lai Jianlin said, noticing Yan Weiwei’s dampened spirits; anyone who had such an incident befall their relatives would feel unhappy.

Luo Yaxuan and Liu Jiaojiao’s family also came over to comfort Yan Weiwei and the ten women.

Now that things had come this far, the only option was to eradicate this beast tide, facing these filthy rats.

“Destroy these rats!” Xuanyuan Mengting wasn’t giving an order but rather stating it as a matter of fact, prompting her family to spring into action.

Previously these rats had been limited by the Formation, continually scaling and moving chaotically.

Their rat spells hadn’t yet been utilized when they saw humans starting to use spells to exterminate the rats; they used Fireballs, hurled ice, and wielded their Swords, sending flashes of sword light that burned the fur off the rats and sliced their skins with deep cuts.

Rats are most afraid for their tails; their tails are the most vulnerable to injury.

Even with tails scorched by Fireballs, they remained vicious, baring their mouths ready to bite.

The rats unleashed their ultimate move, spewing streams of blue light—a poisonous variety.

However, their move failed to harm the humans!

The Formation obstructed the rats.

This wasn’t the first time the rats had used this blue light, yet they could not break through the Formation!

The human Cultivators, though, could use the Formation to wreak havoc on the rats!

Tens of thousands of rats were burned, their emitted blue light unable to damage the enemy.

Instead, the toxic substance lingered within the Formation, causing great harm to the rats themselves!

Their fur was singed, their tails cooked!

The air was filled with the smell of char, and even a fragrant scent!

Eventually, these rats were suffocated by the smoke and burned to death by fireballs!

Xuanyuan Mengting and his team barely exerted any effort to exterminate tens of thousands of rats.

Below were only the sparks from the former battlefield, and all seemed to return to calm…!

“Gua gua gua gua gua”

From underneath the ground, countless frogs appeared, as though burrowing out of the rats’ dens, each with a body as big as a watermelon but with tiny legs and a very short body!

These suddenly emerged frog monsters were just as ugly as the rats before them!

Only now did Xuanyuan Mengting experience what it’s like; after killing tens of thousands of rats, tens of thousands of frogs appeared!

These frogs suddenly emerged from the earth, as if they had been hidden underground all along!

Everyone knew that this was part of a Demon Beast Group, with wave after wave of different species emerging.

What was this leading up to?

The Cultivators in the sky had no choice but to reinforce the Formation, having already guessed that after killing wave after wave of Demonic Beasts, they couldn’t leave this place for the time being!

They could only stay within their magical treasures and Flying Artifacts in the sky!

Having experienced the recent events, the people didn’t think too much and took a rest.

Since they couldn’t leave, they would use the time to cultivate!

Cai Xiangxiang was speechless, so close to her hometown, yet unable to return!

She also understood that her presence here made no difference – one more or one less made no impact!

But she wanted to contribute what little she could.

Yan Weiwei thought about it more and communicated with the people here and at the base.

Her family and Cai Xiangxiang’s family were in that castle, and she wanted to see them, to settle their hearts!

She worried for her family and since she couldn’t take them out, she wanted them to cultivate in peace within the castle!

She had previously promised Cai Xiangxiang’s family and the villagers to venture outside, but now could only wait for Jiang Tang and Ye Tian to return!

However, with the Secret Manual, they could also go to the castle to impart their knowledge!

Yan Weiwei’s words were met with skepticism by some, with many choosing to remain silent, yet a few voices were harsh and unpleasant.

She didn’t take it to heart and led some people to the castle with Cai Xiangxiang!

There were certainly those who opposed this here, but there were also supporters, like Su Chang’an and some men!

Luo Yaxuan and Lai Jianlin supported them too, though they did not arrange for anyone to follow.

Right now, this place was the most important, and they would face no danger outside!

The castle was very close, a mere one to two breaths away by flight.

This time Yan Weiwei and Cai Xiangxiang led a few people to the castle!

Ye Shi didn’t follow, but he sent a few people, and Ye Qiu accompanied them!

Cai Xiangxiang couldn’t refuse and silently followed Yan Weiwei.

When Jiang Tang was setting up the castle’s Formation, the very first Identity Jade tokens were issued; both of them had Identity Jade tokens, allowing them to enter the castle with the tokens in hand!
