Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 500 - 468: Reinforcements for Gourd Town
Lu Yuanshan is in secluded cultivation, and the time of his emergence is still unknown. Fortunately, the Dubhe Institute does not set a limit on the duration of a cultivator’s secluded cultivation.
However, considering Lu Yuanshan’s aptitude and resources for this secluded cultivation, with the aid of the Jia Wood Crystal and Spirit Crystal Powder, it’s believed that this session won’t take too long, at most half a month.
On the ninth day after Lu Yuanshan entered secluded cultivation, the Cyan Mountain Sect welcomed a new round of tasks.
This time, members of the Cyan Mountain Sect need to head to the outskirts of the Southern Wilderness forest, to an area called Gourd Town, for reinforcement activities.
According to intelligence from the front lines, there is currently a Profound-level combat team in Gourd Town engaged in a standoff with a group of demon beasts.
This group of demon beasts numbers nearly five thousand.
Although the number is not large, it includes over a hundred Tier Two demon beasts.
Such a number of Tier Two demon beasts is quite challenging for a Profound-level team to handle.
Wind Yuzi made an appearance to make arrangements for this mission.
On the Cyan Mountain Sect’s side, including Lu Zhiwei, Song Minghui, and eight other members, along with thirty Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the Dubhe Institute, one hundred Loose Cultivators from Nine Cold Mountain, and members from the Giant Peak Sect and Profound Cyan Sect, formed a five-hundred-person combat team.
The leader is a cultivator named Liu Hanshuang from the Dubhe Institute.
This cultivator has reached the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Although he attempted to reach the Crystallization Stage six months ago without success, his strength has nevertheless become more substantial.
Liu Hanshuang’s skill places him among the top three Foundation Establishment Cultivators in this Southern Wilderness campaign.
It’s said that with the Dubhe Institute’s inheritance technique and Liu Hanshuang’s profound strength, he can suppress Lu Yuanshan.
With Liu Hanshuang leading, handling even two hundred Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts should not be an issue.
Once the team personnel arrangements were complete, the group set off.
Gourd Town is a small town located on the eastern edge of the Southern Wilderness forest, on its periphery.
The town is only about twenty li away from the Southern Wilderness forest.
This is a forward battlefield established by the Dubhe Institute to counter the Southern Wilderness Beast Tide.
When the Southern Wilderness Beast Tide is not erupting, this small town is open to outsiders and serves as a foothold for many Loose Cultivators coming to the Southern Wilderness.
Many Loose Cultivators who earn cultivation resources by hunting demon beasts frequently gather in Gourd Town.
When the flying ship arrived over Gourd Town, Lu Zhiwei looked down and saw a group of demon beasts outside the town, surrounding most of it.
Within Gourd Town, a group of cultivators was faintly visible, assembling and maintaining an array to protect the town’s structures from the beast tide invasion.
"Everyone, let’s achieve victory,"
said the cultivator controlling the flying ship, loudly addressing Liu Hanshuang and Lu Zhiwei’s team with a respectful gesture.
Lu Zhiwei and others nodded in response before descending from the flying ship.
They landed in Gourd Town with the assistance of a Gourd Town cultivator.
With the arrival of Lu Zhiwei’s team, the Profound-level team originally stationed in Gourd Town finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The leader of this team, named Zhao Mingyuan, is an elder from the Seven Mysterious Valley with a cultivation of the ninth layer of the Foundation Establishment.
Upon seeing Lu Zhiwei’s group, Zhao Mingyuan immediately greeted them with a warm smile.
"We were finally waiting for you. Although the number of demon beasts this time isn’t large, some of the Tier Two demon beasts are quite troublesome."
"The number of Tier Two demon beasts has already reached one hundred and thirty-two, more than originally reported."
"Moreover, over half of these Tier Two demon beasts are Tier Two High-Grade, with the others being Tier Two Middle Grade."
"The Tier One demon beasts are mainly Tier One Top-Grade as well."
"We’ve been fighting for over a month, and it’s the first time we’ve encountered a demon beast group with such increased combat strength."
"In the past, those demon beast groups were mainly composed of Tier One Middle and Lower Grade and Tier Two Lower Grade demon beasts, unlike this group."
"This demon beast group’s strength within the same tier seems to be getting stronger and stronger."
Zhao Mingyuan babbled on, introducing the scale and strength of this beast group, with a look of helplessness on his face.
If it were thirty or forty Tier Two demon beasts, our side would still be able to handle them.
Among our team’s Foundation Establishment Cultivators, we still have sixteen, with eight being in the late stage.
However, with over a hundred Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts, half of which possess late-stage Foundation Establishment strength, that’s beyond what our team can manage.
Under such unavoidable circumstances, we sent a reinforcement request to the Dubhe Institute.
The Dubhe Institute, considering the actual situation, acknowledged the necessity of reinforcement for Gourd Town, which led to the last-minute assembly of Lu Zhiwei’s Profound-level team for reinforcements.
After learning about the situation here, Liu Hanshuang furrowed his brow slightly, also surprised by the strength of these demon beasts.
Earlier on the flying ship, both Zhao Mingyuan and Lu Zhiwei had surveyed this group of demon beasts from above for a preliminary analysis.
Unexpectedly, half of the Tier Two demon beasts in this group reached Tier Two High-Grade.
Undoubtedly, the strength of these demon beasts surpasses those they had dealt with previously.
Beside her, Lu Zhiwei was also secretly taken aback by the strength of these demon beasts.
She wasn’t afraid or apprehensive.
In contrast, Lu Ping, floating beside Lu Zhiwei, after learning about the specific strength of these demon beasts and conducting a divine sense probe, had already come to a conclusion.
"It seems that the beast tide led by the Black Wind Demon King this time will not be weak."
Recalling the conversation overheard at the grand hall in the center of the Southern Wilderness forest, and observing the strength situation of the demon beasts here at Gourd Town, Lu Ping suddenly realized.
According to the Red-eyed Demon King, the number of demon beasts lost by the Southern Wilderness Demon Race to date is exceedingly large, obviously suffering the most casualties compared to the Lingxi State’s cultivation realm side.
For this reason, the Red-eyed Demon King once questioned Ku Daoist and Elder Jiang, claiming that the Dubhe Institute secretly dispatched powerful reinforcements, violating the truce agreement.
Even though this allegation was later refuted by Ku Daoist, who stated that the Dubhe Institute had always adhered to the agreement without secretly deploying strong reinforcements,
it’s apparent that the Southern Wilderness Demon Race would inevitably heighten their alertness after this incident. To regain some face, they would naturally enhance the strength of their demon beast groups.
The approach involves dispatching more powerful demon beasts within the same tier while maintaining the original number of the beast tide.
For instance, reducing the number of Tier Two Lower Grade demon beasts, while deploying Tier Two Middle and High-Grade demon beasts to battle.
In doing so, it’s a good way to enhance the strength of the beast group, attempting to dampen the ardor of the human race cultivators.
"I just wonder whether the Black Wind Demon King will personally intervene this time."
