Chapter 854: Chapter 554: Undying and Indestructible, Joining Forces Against the Enemy
In response to Mr. Qiao’s inquiry, Lu Qing had yet to speak.
Nevertheless, the always taciturn middle-aged man suddenly said, "My cultivation is shallow, and I don’t have the ability to cross this Gale Plain alone. It’s better for me to return with everyone together."
Lu Qing also murmured, "I’m the same. That monster earlier was clearly a Golden Core level demon beast. I am not its match."
"Since that’s the case, let’s return together so we can look out for each other."
Hearing this, Mr. Qiao showed a faint smile on his face.
If he were alone, he wouldn’t fear this Gale Plain.
But now, bringing along two children, he had more apprehensions.
It’s unwise to rashly cross this Gale Plain.
The middle-aged man and Lu Qing decided to return together, at least increasing their numbers with two Golden Core Realm cultivators looking out for each other.
On the other side, the armored Great Han saw the thin young man and the red-clothed woman suddenly leave, feeling dissatisfied but helpless.
After all, these Golden Core realm individuals weren’t in a contractual relationship with their Transportation Merchant.
If they chose to leave, he had no way to stop them.
Luckily, Mr. Qiao and Lu Qing, along with their group, eventually chose to return together.
Otherwise, he really had no confidence in safely escorting them back to the valley.
After seeing that Golden Core level Wind Beast earlier, the armored Great Han already knew.
Some significant event must have occurred inside the Gale Plain.
Otherwise, a Golden Core level Wind Beast couldn’t possibly appear at this edge area.
Moreover, he had always felt that amidst the endless wind and sand, something seemed to be lurking, spying on this caravan.
So even choosing to return now, his heart remained uneasy.
He had a premonition that this return journey wouldn’t be smooth.
Just as the armored Great Han contemplated, suddenly, an instinctive shiver ran through him, and he abruptly raised his head.
Then, he saw three monstrous Wind Beasts forming ahead, charging towards them ferociously.
This unexpected change made everyone cry out in alarm.
Especially since these three Wind Beasts were all Golden Core level, each towering over ten zhang high.
With all three attacking at once, the nearly tangible Fierce Evil Qi rushed toward them.
Those with slightly weaker cultivation were immediately overwhelmed, their divine souls chilled, bodies frozen, almost unable to move.
"Mere Wind Beasts dare to be impudent! Form a formation!"
The armored Great Han’s gaze turned cold, and the long spear treasure in his hand transformed into a roaring furious dragon, charging at one of the Wind Beasts.
At the same time, a companion beside him, also at the Golden Core Realm, wielded a Treasure Saber, slashing out a massive golden Sword Qi towards another Wind Beast.
The remaining Transportation Merchant guards formed a mysterious battle formation, jointly summoning a massive Mana Bear to attack the last Wind Beast.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The combined power of the furious dragon and Sword Qi was extraordinary, immediately dispersing two of the Wind Beasts.
The last Wind Beast also fell under the Mana Bear conjured by the guarding formation.
It only lasted a few moments before exploding into a storm of sand.
In an instant, the once fierce Wind Beasts, reminiscent of ancient fierce beasts, were scattered like that.
But before the crowd could rejoice, the next moment, they saw the sand gathering again.
The previously dispersed three Wind Beasts reformed and charged at them once more.
"No matter how many times you are reborn, I will kill you all the same!"
The armored Great Han, seemingly expecting this, coldly prepared, his hand performing a spell as the long spear treasure transformed into a furious dragon, once again smashing a Wind Beast apart.
The companion wielding a saber, along with the guards, also wielded their spells and divine skills against the remaining two Wind Beasts.
However, at this time, two more roars sounded from behind.
Two equally massive Wind Beasts appeared at the back of the caravan, charging forward.
"How can there be so many Golden Core level Wind Beasts here?"
The armored Great Han’s face turned grim upon witnessing this.
He already found it odd for Golden Core level Wind Beasts to appear at this edge area.
Now, with five appearing at once, a dreadful thought emerged in his mind.
Could it be that something is controlling these Wind Beasts?
If not, why would typically low-intelligence Wind Beasts cooperate so effectively to attack them?
And their actions were coordinated, knowing how to attack from both front and rear.
But how could this be possible?
Though Wind Beasts were of low intelligence, their nature was extremely fierce. What kind of existence could suppress their ferocity and make them submit?
Various thoughts flashed through the armored Great Han’s mind.
But seeing the two Wind Beasts nearing the caravan, he couldn’t afford to dwell on them.
He had to shout, "Mr. Qiao, the back is up to you!"
Though the rear of the caravan was covered by the Wind Stabilizing Lamp’s light, it couldn’t withstand attacks from two formidable Golden Core level Wind Beasts. With his hands full, the armored Great Han could only seek help from Lu Qing and the others.
"Fellow cultivators, it seems we must also contribute!"
Mr. Qiao, hearing the armored Great Han’s shout, did not hesitate. He immediately summoned an Iron Ruler Treasure, which enlarged rapidly, emitting Treasure Light, and struck at one of the Wind Beasts.
Lu Qing and the taciturn middle-aged man didn’t delay, also summoning their treasures to confront the other Wind Beast.
The middle-aged man’s treasure was a black iron rod, which, once summoned, resembled a raging Black Flood Dragon, continually striking at the Wind Beast.
