Chapter 292 An unusual mission

Compared to Bahuang and Jiuyou, the Sword Immortal Puppet's moves are more flexible, and with the bonus of magic weapons, its attacks are also more powerful.

The focus shifted to Bahuang and Jiuyou.

Their offensives were not weak either. After fighting for more than a dozen rounds, they tore their opponents apart in the sea.

Three third-level thorn sea king snakes were killed by Chen Qingyun alone.

Guo Fan was fighting the last third-level thorn sea king snake alone, and the battle was still going on, and he had already gained the upper hand.

Chen Qingyun glanced at it sideways, without any intention of intervening, and aimed at the remaining dozen second-level demon snakes.

The other Xingzong cultivators fought well, and most of them had an absolute advantage.

Whether it was the strength of equipment, the advantages and disadvantages of magic, or the overall combat capability, they were far superior to the family cultivators.

They also left the gap with the casual cultivators far behind.

Many first-level and second-level magic weapons.

Or talismans were crisscrossing the sea, shining brightly.

This group of thorny sea king snakes were finally killed, and none of them escaped.

After Guo Fan took back the magic weapon and cleaned up the battlefield, he looked at Chen Qingyun with a smile on his face.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, I admire you!"

...

The subsequent voyage was just a few individual monsters causing trouble, which could be easily resolved.

After sailing on the sea day and night for more than two days, the group finally approached the Star Ring Island.

Approaching the island, Chen Qingyun found that the name of the Star Ring Island was particularly appropriate for the scene he saw.

Why do I say that? Because there are many scattered and countless small islands on the periphery of the entire island.

These outer islands surround the inner island in the center with the momentum of many stars surrounding the moon.

Looking down from the sky, the entire island seems to be surrounded by a star ring, and the Star Ring Island got its name from this.

Although these outer islands do not cover a large area, the largest one is only five or six miles in size.

But installing monster hunting cannons and sending monks to garrison is still a good choice.

The monks can set up defenses on this outer island star ring.

The central inner island is used as a logistical supply.

This batch of demon hunting cannons was transported here to be installed on the outer island.

After passing through the outer island, the ship was docked at the dock. There were monks here early to receive it, and began to count the supplies and unload the goods.

Taking advantage of this period of rest, Chen Qingyun took out the communication talisman and contacted Chen Xianming.

After meeting with the tribe members at their residence on the island, Chen Qingyun soon discovered something unusual.

The old patriarch was injured.

"What happened?"

This made Chen Qingyun ask.

How could the old patriarch, who has always been calm and strong, be injured?

Chen Qingyun saw how strong he was.

With the peak of foundation building, plus the swallowing of demon pills these days, his strength must have been consolidated a bit.

Combined with the Fiery Sky Sword and the blessing of many second-level top-grade magic weapons, it can be said that he is invincible in the foundation building period.

Not only that, after asking the question in his mind, Chen Qingyun paid attention to the complexion of several other clansmen and found that the fifth sister's complexion was not very good.

It was very different from the rosy complexion in the past, and the more he looked at it, the more wrong it was.

Obviously, like Chen Xianming, she was injured recently and her blood and qi were depleted.

It was not uncommon for one clan member to be injured, but it was unusual for two to be injured at once.

Chen Daoren and others looked at each other and knew that this matter could not be concealed.

Under Chen Qingyun's inquiry, Chen Daohai sighed slightly and took the initiative to explain: "We didn't want to tell you about this, but we still have to tell you."

"This matter is related to the mission six days ago..."

As Chen Daohai narrated, Chen Qingyun gradually figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

The incident happened six days ago.

The eight Chen family cultivators headed by Chen Xianming were assigned by Meng Xingzhou.

They joined forces with fifty independent cultivators and a Jiang family foundation-building cultivator to go to Xinghuan Island, 10,000 miles away, to clear out a group of monsters.

According to Meng Xingzhou, it was a group of about 300 monsters, including six second-level monsters.

This level of opponent is easy to fight.

In addition to Chen Xianming and the other five Chen family foundation-building cultivators, there was also a Jiang family foundation-building cultivator named Jiang Jingli.

Since the team is strong, there is nothing to refuse this mission to clear out monsters.

Originally, after being arranged to garrison on this Xinghuan Island, these days have been spent easily without encountering the beast tide.

When they were about to fade out, they received such a proactive mission. Based on the principle of not being easy to refuse, Chen Xianming and his companions had the opportunity to earn military merits.

Naturally, they took action as soon as possible.

So, they went to the group of monsters.

At the beginning, the Chen family members were very excited, thinking about killing more monsters and trying to get more resources.

As a result, when they met the group of monsters head-on, they suddenly found that something was wrong.

That was not a group of 300 monsters.

Not only were there more monsters, they reached 900.

The leaders were two third-level monsters!

Facing opponents of this level, Chen Xianming knew that he was still able to fight back and forth in the foundation-building period, which was fine.

But to deal with third-level monsters, it was far from enough, and there was no need to take the risk with the tribe.

Since it was discovered that the strength gap between the two sides was not at the same level, there were only two choices.

Either send a message for help, stay and wait for support before attacking together.

Or just withdraw.

Chen Xianming chose to evacuate directly.

There was nothing to hesitate about. Who knows if there would be another change in the sea area and a few third-level monsters would appear.

It was the most correct decision to retreat first to be safe. No one could say anything afterwards.

How could Qi-refining and foundation-building cultivators be asked to deal with purple-mansion-stage monsters?

The other members of the Chen family nodded in agreement with Chen Xianming's decision. Those casual cultivators also had no objection and wanted to evacuate.

But strangely, the Jiang family cultivator was unwilling.

If he was stubborn and insisted on confronting the third-level monster head-on, Chen Xianming kindly persuaded him a few words, and when he saw that it didn't work, he directly led the rest of the people to evacuate.

As a result, Jiang Jingli started to act like a demon, and directly drove the warship to rush towards the beast tide. It seemed that he still wanted to fight head-on.

His actions must have aroused public anger.

But by the time they reacted and took control of the warship, the group of monsters had already killed them close.

In the face of the crisis, the crowd had no time to blame or scold Jiang Jingli for dragging them to death.

They could only resist the attack of the monster.

It was unnecessary to say what the result would be when fighting against a third-level monster.

After only a dozen rounds of fighting, sixteen casual cultivators were killed.

On the Chen family side, Chen Xianming fought with all his strength.

The Fiery Sky Sword was sparking, but it still couldn't break through the defense of the third-level monster, and it was at a disadvantage.

With such a gap in strength, the situation of the subsequent battle can be imagined.
