The Netherworld Sect really didn't care about the life and death of the qi-training monks and did not issue earth escape talismans at all. The three monks who escaped also brought earth escape talismans with them.
Seeing that the battle in the chariot formation was over, the foundation-building monks did not dare to fight. Just now, the target of the monsters had been the chariot formation, and they could massacre the monsters on the sidelines.
But now, the car formation has been broken, and they are the only targets of the monsters. Most of the beasts can't do anything to them. Only a few of the beasts can cast a few long-range talent spells to attack the foundation-building monks flying with their weapons, but it is difficult to hit them.
The threat of demon birds to Foundation Establishment monks is great. Foundation Establishment monks can fly faster than ordinary first-level demon birds. But if they are more agile in the air, no one can compare to an ordinary monk below the Golden Core.
A first-order demon bird.
Surrounded by more than a thousand late-stage first-order demonic birds, including a second-order black eagle, and coupled with the long-range spell attacks from the demonic beasts on the ground, it is entirely possible for these eleven foundation-building monks to be trapped here.
The eleven foundation-building monks immediately flew to the east of the valley, where Wang Daoyuan and others were ambushing.
However, the monsters were not willing to let them go. A thousand monster birds, under the command of Black Eagle, began to chase and intercept the foundation-building monks.
The gray-robed monk flew at the front with his sword, and the other foundation-building monks followed closely behind, trying to break through the demon bird's encirclement in one fell swoop.
The black eagle did not confront him head-on. It just flew in front of the gray-robed monk and continuously released its innate spells.
Other first-level demon birds also followed the same example. They did not engage in direct combat with the foundation-building monks, but instead continuously released spells in all directions around them, or directly attacked them at close range.
In order to speed up the process, a group of foundation-building monks poured all their spiritual energy into the magic weapon, not daring to waste any of it elsewhere.
If you fight back, your flying speed will be slowed down, and more monster birds will catch up with you. If you don't fight back, you will be attacked one after another and beaten to death.
In desperation, he could only take out defensive talismans one after another and stick them on his body to temporarily resist the attacks of the demonic birds.
However, there were too many attacks, and the magic talisman was destroyed instantly as soon as it was launched. If this continues, none of the eleven people will be able to escape.
The gray-robed monks made a prompt decision and shouted: "Disperse and break out!"
The eleven foundation-building monks each chose a direction and fled for their own lives.
Dispersing the enemy to break out was indeed effective. The demon birds vowed to kill everyone. A thousand demon birds were divided into eleven groups to encircle the eleven foundation-building monks respectively.
There are less than a hundred demonic birds in each group, and there is only one black eagle in the second-level demonic bird. Without the second-level demonic bird, it is difficult to surround a foundation-building monk with less than a hundred first-level demonic birds.
The gray-robed monk was the strongest, and the black eagle participated in the encirclement of him. Before breaking out, the gray-robed monk stood at the front and was able to protect himself.
There are currently less than a hundred first-level demon birds, plus a black eagle. They cannot be defeated head-on, but it is still very simple to escape intact.
He was seen stepping on a flying sword with both feet, holding a fly whisk in one hand, holding a magic talisman in the other, and his body was covered with a thick golden mask.
The first-level demon bird's spell hit the light mask, causing a slight ripple. Only the wind arrow technique emitted by the black eagle's wings hit the light mask, making it dimmer.
To break the light shield, at least ten wind arrow spells are needed. Even a second-level monster does not have the ability to release ten innate spells in a short period of time.
Without the all-round attack of the large group of demon birds, his speed was much faster. Among the demon birds that surrounded him, only the black eagle could keep up with him, and the others were left behind.
When the black eagle releases a spell, he uses a protective light shield to catch it; when the black eagle directly fights hand-to-hand, he uses a whisk to drive it away; when the "followers" behind him catch up, he throws a few magic talismans.
It can be said that this small group of demon birds can do nothing to him. He did not rush to escape, but instead led a group of demon birds in a circle.
In Wang Daoyuan's view, this was to buy time for others to escape. Once he escaped, Black Eagle would definitely surround the others. They did not have the strength of the gray-robed monks.
The efforts of the gray-robed monks have paid off, and the other foundation-building monks are also very relaxed. Without the mixing of second-order monsters, there are less than a hundred first-order monster birds, and none of them can catch up with the foundation-building monks who are flying with full power.
.
Only a few of the monsters on the ground can cast long-range attack spells, but they dare not cast spells for fear of accidentally injuring monsters.
The other foundation-building monks, like the gray-robed monks, did not rush to leave the battlefield, but instead led a small group of demon birds in circles.
Wang Daoyuan couldn't help but wonder that the two sides had been fighting for so long, and the monks had been flying with all their strength, so they probably didn't have much spiritual power left.
The flying ability of the demon bird is innate, and it consumes no spiritual energy at all. It is trivial to fly for a few days. If the foundation-building monk continues to consume like this, once his spiritual energy is exhausted, he will definitely die.
The chase did not last long. Soon, a burst of birdsong and animal roars came from the west of Guiyan Valley.
A moment later, a group of demon birds flew from a distance. Four of them flew at the same speed as the black eagle, and they should be second-level demon birds.
Four second-level demon birds quickly pounced on an early-stage foundation-building monk. This foundation-building monk had the lowest cultivation level and weakest strength among the eleven people. It was difficult to fight even a second-level demon bird alone.
This foundation-building monk had exhausted his spiritual power too much. He was attacked by four second-level demon birds and was unable to even parry. After throwing out a few spiritual talismans, he died under the claws of the demon birds.
Another group of monster beasts ran out of the forest. Seven monster beasts were obviously larger than the same kind. They should be second-level monsters. The number of monster beasts and monster birds combined was tens of thousands.
Seeing this situation, the gray-robed monk smiled instead of being angry and said: "The mission has been completed, retreat!"
The remaining ten foundation-building monks stopped walking and fled towards the east at high speed.
The demon birds had an absolute advantage, so how could they stop there? Later, more than three thousand demon birds joined the previous thousand demon beasts to pursue the foundation-building monks fiercely.
Three monks who were in the early stage of foundation building had insufficient spiritual power and were overtaken by demonic birds and died unexpectedly. The remaining seven successfully escaped to where Wang Daoyuan and others were ambushing them.
Yang Zhiyuan shouted: "Kill!"
The team he led consisted of more than 20 foundation-building monks and more than 300 qi-training monks. They had been lying in wait for a long time, and they had already become impatient as they watched the caravan monks fight with the monsters but could not take action.
The other small groups of monks who were ambushing on the east side of Guiyan Valley also took action. Spirit talismans and flying swords flew all over the sky. The demon birds were caught off guard, and five to six hundred of them died in an instant.
The demon bird immediately retreated, and the seven foundation-building monks escaped from pursuit and fell behind Wang Daoyuan and other ambushing monks. They took the elixir and meditated to restore their spiritual power.
Seeing that the demon bird was retreating, Yang Zhiyuan immediately assigned tasks to each family: the Yang family and seven other families guarded the flat land on the right side of the hill; the Wang and Li families were responsible for guarding the hill, preventing the demon bird from escaping, and supporting the right wing if possible; and the left wing of the cliff.
Only two families and more than thirty monks were released to prevent the demon birds from breaking out.
The demonic birds do not take the initiative to attack, and the Qi-training monks do not have any means to attack the demonic birds. Therefore, to stop the demonic birds, we mainly rely on the foundation-building monks, and the Qi-training monks only serve as a cover.
