Chapter 433 Escape

This monster beast exuded a terrifying aura, and just standing there caused the surrounding space to distort.

Ye Shengyu's heart sank. He knew that with the current state of the team, it was impossible for him to be an opponent of this sixth-level monster.

Just when he was about to order everyone to retreat, a bright sword light suddenly fell from the sky and struck directly at the sixth-order monster.

It turned out that Dashu Zhenren arrived in time, and he severely wounded the sixth-level monster with a single strike of his sword, opening up a way out for the Ye family's team.

Ye Shengyu was overjoyed and immediately ordered a full-speed breakout.

Under the cover of Dashu Zhenren, the Ye family team finally broke out of the encirclement.

However, when they looked back, they found that the group of fire crows that originally numbered nearly a thousand now only had less than 700 left.

Among them, one of the three-legged fire crows in the Taoist realm was lost, leaving only eight.

Although they paid a heavy price, the Ye family team finally successfully broke through.

Ye Shengyu looked at the scarred family members and spiritual beasts, feeling both relieved and heartbroken.

Ye Shengyu led the team to escape to the rear at high speed, not daring to stop at all along the way. All day long they advanced at full speed until at last they came close to the position of the rear ranks.

Seeing that everyone was exhausted, Ye Shengyu ordered to stop and rest.

Everyone got off the battleship and started to set up camp. After a day of escaping, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Some began to discuss today's narrow escape, while others took out drinks to celebrate.

However, just when everyone relaxed their vigilance, a group of fourth-order dark sparrows quietly approached the camp.

This kind of monster likes to move most at night. They can blend into the darkness perfectly and can even avoid the spiritual detection of monks of the same level.

Suddenly, a sharp cry pierced the night sky, followed by dozens of dark sparrows pounced on the unsuspecting Ye family monks from all directions.

Their sharp claws and sharp beaks flashed with cold light, causing a large number of casualties in an instant.

"Enemy attack! Get into combat mode!"

Ye Shengyu shouted while releasing powerful spiritual power, trying to block the Dark Bird's attack.

However, the speed of the Dark Birds is too fast. They shuttle freely in the darkness and can accurately hit the vital points with every attack.

Many monks fell into a pool of blood before they had time to react.

"Damn it, why are these beasts here?"

An elder cursed and waved his magic weapon at the same time, trying to repel the dark sparrows around him.

However, there are too many dark sparrows, and even elder-level monks have difficulty coping with them.

Soon the camp descended into chaos.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye Shengyu immediately ordered: "Everyone return to the battleship immediately! Use the battleship's defensive formation!"

Upon hearing the order, the surviving monks began to retreat towards the battleship.

However, the Dark Bird did not intend to let them go easily.

They chased after him and launched attacks continuously, causing more monks to fall.

In this sudden attack, the Ye family suffered heavy losses.

More than 20 Zifu monks and more than a hundred Foundation Establishment monks fell on this land forever.

Finally, after paying a huge price, the surviving monks successfully boarded the battleship. Ye Shengyu immediately activated the defensive formations of four high-grade fourth-grade warships, and at the same time summoned eight high-grade fourth-grade monsters to assist in the battle.

"Fight back with all your strength!"

Ye Shengyu ordered, "Don't let them escape!"

The formation on the battleship emits a dazzling light, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Eight fourth-level high-grade monsters also joined the battle. Their strength was no less than that of the Dark Bird, and they quickly turned the tide of the battle.

The monks on the battleship also began to fight back. They used the power of the spiritual cannon to continuously attack the Dark Bird.

Radiant cannon attacks bloomed in the night sky, illuminating the entire battlefield.

The Dark Birds lost the protection of darkness, and their advantages were gone.

Under the Ye family's fierce counterattack, most of the Dark Birds were killed, and only a few managed to escape.

After the battle, Ye Shengyu looked at the devastated camp and the exhausted tribesmen on the battleship, and his heart was filled with anger and sadness.

He knew that this loss was a heavy blow to the Ye family.

"Count the casualties and take care of the wounded."

Ye Shengyu ordered in a deep voice, "From now on, we must remain vigilant at all times. This area is much more dangerous than we imagined."

As soon as Ye Shengyu finished speaking, everyone started to get busy.

Doctors rushed to treat the victims, while others began to take stock of the damage and increase vigilance.

At this moment, a young monk in the foundation building stage ran to Ye Shengyu and reported in a panic: "Master, it's not good! We found that several dark sparrows escaped in the direction where we were originally going!"

Ye Shengyu frowned when he heard this.

He knew exactly what this meant - those escaping Dark Birds would likely reveal their location to the enemy.

"Call all the elders immediately, we need to make plans again."

Ye Shengyu gave the order decisively.

After a while, the top executives of the Ye family gathered together.

Everyone had tired and worried faces, and it was clear that the raid had left a deep impression on everyone.

"Everyone."

Ye Shengyu said, "Our situation is more dangerous than expected. Not only do we have to face the threat of pursuing soldiers, but we also have to be wary of the monsters in this area. What's worse, our position may have been exposed."

An elderly elder sighed and said, "Master, in my opinion, we can no longer follow the original plan. Continuing forward will only put us in greater danger."

Another elder continued, "Yes, we should change our route and find a hidden place to hide temporarily until the storm is over."

Ye Shengyu pondered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "You are right. Our top priority now is to preserve our strength."

He turned to an elder who was good at formations, "Elder Tianheng, do you have any suggestions?"

Elder Yuheng thought for a while, then said, "Young Master, I do know a place. There is a hidden valley about 300 miles northwest. There is a natural barrier there, and with our formation, we should be able to avoid the enemy's search."

Ye Shengyu's eyes lit up: "Good idea! Let's set off immediately."

He turned to the others, "Notify everyone to be ready within an hour. We must reach that valley before dawn."

In this way, the Ye family's team embarked on the journey again.

This time, they were more cautious and vigilant at all times.

Everyone knew that the journey ahead would be even more difficult, but for the survival of the family, they had no choice.

In the darkness, the warship flew silently to the northwest.
