Chapter 2421 - 1410:
Feng Qingcheng is in a very bad mood, and just like her, there are hundreds of cultivators in the family feeling the same way.
They never thought that monkeys could form arrays; have these monkey spirits become even smarter than humans?
They also know that humans were transformed from monkeys and that monkeys can also transform into human forms when their abilities grow strong.
Seeing a few of them there, the most capable monkeys actually possess skills far superior to theirs, yet they did not take action.
These few monkeys did not act, and when the humans did, they were defeated by them.
Now, these people may already have become a joke, perhaps so many entered, only members of their family were defeated by the demonic beasts and driven out from the territory of a bunch of beasts.
Driven out, unable to get back in, they are unwilling but have no choice but to leave this place.
They don’t know why when they enter a magical treasure, they end up in the orchard.
Now out of the orchard, in the non-Spirit Grass place, the land is all grey.
In this place, you can see some plants, some unknown plants.
One is Nourishing Soul Grass, which blooms at night, and another is grass liked by demonic beasts, especially that Vitality Flower.
Whether it’s Nourishing Soul Grass or Vitality Flower, they appear most often by lakesides or riversides.
Now, in the areas where they are located, apart from the land being relatively damp, some places are grassy fields.
...
Feng Qingcheng looked around and saw wild sheep, wild horses, and wild cattle.
Groups of herbivorous demonic beasts are alert when humans appear, watching them warily.
It seems like if they make any moves, these beasts will unite to attack, or they will run at great speed.
The current situation is that beasts are on guard against them, and if humans attack them, they will retaliate without hesitation.
Feng Qingcheng and her companions, from the initial defeat and unwillingness, after observing the surroundings, prepared for combat.
Those cattle, sheep, and horses, though not proactively attacking, when they see the humans in battle mode, without hesitation, groups of cattle, sheep, and horse beasts do not leave any opportunity for human slaughter, staying in their groups.
These cattle, sheep, and horses are clever, and instead of running in one direction, they split into several.
While the cattle, sheep, and horses were running, human cultivators also acted, using their flying artifacts in a frenzied pursuit.
Initially, only the cattle, sheep, and horses were running, and hundreds of human cultivators followed behind relentlessly.
Later, these cattle, sheep, and horses ran in different directions, and the cultivators also split into groups to pursue them.
Feng Qingcheng watched these cattle, sheep, and horses being so clever that when they first arrived, they dared not separate, unwilling to split up in this unfamiliar environment without certainty.
After being provoked and defeated by the monkeys, this time they split into three groups, each group entailing around 100 people, tracking these beasts.
By this method, they could also execute group battles, and this method is clearly chosen because they feel these cattle, sheep, and horses are not as clever as those monkeys, whose abilities were sometimes too high.
Already able to transform, some have become Monkey Immortals, training these monkeys to be so formidable, providing the reason for the defeat of the human cultivators.
After leaving that orchard place, without immediately returning, they now need a venting outlet.
Wanting to defeat these cattle, sheep, and horse beasts and find food amongst them.
After all, such demonic beasts as cattle, sheep, and horses are considered the best tasting food for human cultivators.
Feng Qingcheng leads a group of male and female elite cultivators, and among them, she is the leader.
Naturally, they aren’t separated during their trials, as they weren’t separated when they entered.
Initially, they believed with so many people, they could definitely win, being one of the largest teams in numbers.
Feng Qingcheng and her team not only used their swords as flying artifacts, but also crafted flying artifacts themselves, which they could use from those brought by the family.
This time, instead of sitting in one flying artifact as a group, they flew using their own.
A large team of 100 people, smaller in number compared to the horses they were now pursuing.
Among these horses, there are old ones and young foals.
Adults naturally protect the young, unable to leave the foals and old horses behind just because they run slower.
Becoming a weakness of adult horse demons, in their running, they realized the impending danger, noticing the speed of human cultivators’ flying artifacts was too fast for them to keep up with.
Gradually, mares and foals fell behind from their group, while time passed with their continuous running as adult horses accelerated due to the relentless pursuit.
Knowing they had to abandon some companions or face potential extinction as a species.
Horse demon skills, apart from swift running, include only two legs, and when they call, the sound makes others feel like they’re under an illusion.
It’s not like a Lion’s Roar, which is a skill of lions.
Initially, the young horse demon ran, later forced to act under the intense hostility of human cultivators, they cried whilst running.
Feng Qingcheng only felt a piercing illusion, as if before her appeared a handsome young man transformed from a horse, turning into Su Chang’an’s face from blurred features.
Feng Qingcheng became lost in this face, slowing her speed in the pursuit.
Her consciousness blurred, mumbling, unable to resist extending her hand to touch that face.
Su Chang’an, right within reach, seemed she could touch his face by reaching out, yet he gradually moved away as she reached.
"Don’t, Su Chang’an, you stop."
Feng Qingcheng was captivated by the awakening sensation, unable to resist shouting.
Just like her, the whole team became enchanted by the magical sounds of the horses, finding themselves in an individual fantasy.
Previously separated mares and foals, due to human cultivators being entranced, gradually escaped.
Also because cultivators were mesmerized by the magical sounds.
They were not fully awake, and amidst the ongoing exchange by the horse demons, they still hadn’t regained their senses.
The originally retreating adult horse demons slowed down, allowing the mares, foals, and old horses to catch up.
A herd moving forward, although the horse demons constantly mesmerize humans, they didn’t harm cultivators with their leg skills.
The horse demons’ goal is not to harm humans.
Not considering harming humans, for their abilities are not equal to humans.
Horse demons bear no malice toward humans, perhaps thinking of them as companions by their nature.
They’ve been in Hell Palace for so long without really being tamed, even with the Artifact Spirit of Hell Palace within, the owner hasn’t truly required their submission.
Nor has everything been contracted, most of the demonic beasts here have insufficient abilities, unable to transform, remaining as the lowest tier of Hell Palace’s beasts.
Human demons, demons, or humans might treat cattle, sheep, and horses as food.
This is why horse demons fear humans when encountered.
The speed of horse demons ultimately allowed the cultivators pursuing them to fail to act before their escape due to their skills.
By the time Feng Qingcheng awoke, it was already dusk, no horse demon shadows in sight?
Or, with human cultivators present, other creatures had fled far away.
Feng Qingcheng and these 100 cultivators had another failed pursuit.
Just as she regained her senses, the other cultivators also awoke.
Everyone was angry, calling for their companions.
These people brought food upon arriving, evidently having storage bags, spatial items regularly filled with food within.
Unable to hunt at this time, they could only bring out food, eat their fill first, then call for their companions to return.
