Boarding Life

There was no time to be surprised, the group immediately assumed a combat-ready stance.

Soon, several Evil Demons appeared.

The origin of these Evil Demons was unknown; they seemed to head straight for the center of the battlefield, clearly not expecting to find several human cultivators here.

The cultivators and Evil Demons were natural enemies.

The moment they met, the battle erupted instantly.

"Roar!"

An Evil Demon let out a strange roar.

But naturally, Wu Hao and his group, having been chosen for the task of setting flags, were no amateurs.

Especially Wu Hao, who was leading them. As the Evil Demons charged, he quickly took out an ancient-looking lamp.

Under his control, the lamp quickly ignited with flames.

Afterward, from the center of the lamp, a bizarre light ring covered an area of several dozen meters.

As soon as the Evil Demons touched the light ring, they promptly retreated, clearly showing some fear of the light!

"Oh?"

Qin Qi watched this scene, a bit astonished.

"This Magical Treasure appears to be Supreme Yang and Firm!" Qin Qi thought silently.

Seeing the effect of his Magical Treasure, Wu Hao let out a small smile, "Hmph, this is my life-bound Magical Treasure, the Qingyang Lamp, which is most effective against these Evil Demons!"

"As long as the Qingyang Lamp is here, these Evil Demons can’t break through the light ring to threaten us!"

"You can attack freely, quickly eliminate these Evil Demons!"

Upon hearing this, Minglan and the others immediately took action.

Qin Qi also pretended to take measures.

With the protection of the light ring.

Even though these Evil Demons indeed had some methods to suppress humans, they became targets for an onslaught.

In about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

The battle was clearly one-sided.

Under the bombardment of Qin Qi and the others, the heads of Evil Demons were obliterated one by one.

Wu Hao, seeing this, evidently had a sense of pride in his expression.

He spoke decisively, "Having dealt with these Evil Demons, there’s no time to waste; let’s move out quickly!"

But Qin Qi frowned and said, "I think we should delay a bit. Since these Evil Demons have discovered us, recklessly charging ahead might cause us to be surrounded by more Evil Demons!"

After all, he understood more than anyone else that these Evil Demons actually had the ability to share information.

However, Wu Hao sneered and coldly said, "Kid, I should’ve told you before, your only task is to obediently follow orders!"

"This is no place for you to speak. Just because you detected the Evil Demons a few breaths earlier, you think you’re skilled?"

"It’s just that your senses were slightly more focused. Everyone here has cultivation above yours."

The others, although initially surprised, now, hearing Wu Hao, didn’t take Qin Qi seriously.

They simply attributed his early detection of the Evil Demons to heightened concentration.

Seeing that Wu Hao ignored his words, Qin Qi merely shrugged his shoulders and shook his head.

Junior Sister Ming, however, frowned, "Brother Wu, his words aren’t without reason. These Evil Demons have unusually sharp senses; we should be cautious!"

Wu Hao waved his hand, "Junior Sister Ming, rest assured, it only took us the time of a cup of tea to eliminate these Evil Demons!"

"Our presence here won’t be known by other Evil Demons!"

"How could any other Evil Demons be aware of this place?"

Qin Qi calmly replied, "What if these Evil Demons have the ability to share information?"

"Nonsense!"

Wu Hao sneered, "Even among us cultivators, it takes various conditions and methods to transmit information. How could these unintelligent Evil Demons manage it?"

"Enough, just follow my orders; you have no right to interject!"

Qin Qi simply stopped speaking.

Someone who dared to underestimate the Evil Demons was not worth talking to.

The others were evidently following Wu Hao’s lead, obediently heeding his command.

And so, the four set out once more.

It wasn’t long before Qin Qi’s brows furrowed.

Soon, Wu Hao and his companions were equally shocked, their faces changing drastically.

Because they sensed clearly that over a dozen Evil Demons, organized and disciplined, were charging towards them.

Junior Sister Ming’s pupils contracted, "Why are so many Evil Demons coming? It seems like they’re specifically targeting us? Wait, could Qin Qi be correct? Do these Evil Demons really have information-sharing abilities?"

At this point, Wu Hao was still in denial, "Impossible, the previous battle reports never mentioned this!"

"These Evil Demons must be passing by; we can hide our aura completely. Perhaps they have other intents..."

"Quick, conceal your presence!"

As they spoke, none of them failed to hide their aura.

Yet, Wu Hao’s speculation was swiftly overturned by the arrival of over a dozen Evil Demons!

These Evil Demons immediately headed straight for Qin Qi and the others.

Even with their aura concealed, it was futile!

It meant their target from the beginning was Qin Qi and his group!

Junior Sister Ming was utterly shocked, "No, these Evil Demons are indeed coming straight for us! They seem to know we are here!"

Wu Hao’s face was grim, confirming Qin Qi’s words.

These Evil Demons did indeed have information-sharing abilities.

"Impossible!"

Even though they had quickly killed the previous Evil Demons.

He naturally wouldn’t admit his mistake, "It must be that kid Qin’s poor aura concealing skills. That’s how they found us."

Qin Qi’s lips twitched.

At this point, Wu Hao could still blame him for their predicament.

Only Junior Sister Ming remained rational, "Brother Wu, without the Qingyang Lamp, we’re done for."

Wu Hao didn’t dare hesitate and immediately brought out the Qingyang Lamp, "Don’t worry, as long as the Qingyang Lamp is here, these Evil Demons can’t touch us for now!"

With the Qingyang Lamp’s light barrier gradually spreading, over a dozen Evil Demons were indeed kept at bay.

But, learning from the previous Evil Demons, these were undoubtedly much smarter.

Seemingly having found a way to counter the Qingyang Lamp, they were now forming ranks on the perimeter, attempting to infiltrate using Evil Qi instead of recklessly charging the barrier.

"No, this is bad!"

Wu Hao’s face changed dramatically.

Because more than anyone, he knew the Qingyang Lamp’s weakness.

The light barrier might deter the Evil Demons from rushing in, but the Magical Treasure continuously drains his mana.

These Evil Demons eroding the light barrier with Evil Qi over time would surely accelerate his mana depletion; in time, the protection of the Qingyang Lamp would collapse on its own!

Junior Sister Ming was especially worried, "Brother Wu, are you alright?"

Wu Hao’s lips turned pale, and he forced a smile, "I’m fine. Quickly, eliminate these Evil Demons!"

He knew better than anyone that he couldn’t hold out for long.

Even so, he spoke anyway.

This time, over a dozen Evil Demons were much more cautious, with none rashly approaching the light barrier.

As a result, despite their continuous bombardment, it was ineffective!
