On the main peak, Liu Yuanzhong looked at everyone and cleared his throat a few times before speaking.
"Fellow Daoists, the battle just now can be considered thrilling but without danger. Now that the higher-level sea beasts have been eliminated, we must each perform our duties. I believe the sea beast tide will soon recede."
Liu Yuanzhong said some polite words to everyone and then had them return to their previous posts.
Zhang Ling, Wang Caidie, and Xu Ji returned to their previous team together.
Xu Ji had also participated in the siege of the high-level sea beasts earlier. Now his complexion looked much better.
In the next two hours, without the command of high-level sea beasts, the low-level sea beasts of the tide scattered. However, this was different from the previous fierce attacks, and the number of sea beasts decreased significantly.
This situation indicated that the sea beast tide was about to recede.
Sure enough, after half a day, Zhang Ling could no longer see any third or fourth-order sea beasts, only a few scattered second-order sea beasts.
At this moment, the main force attacking the sea beasts had also become the Qi Refining stage disciples. Zhang Ling and other Foundation Establishment stage cultivators were summoned back to the main peak.
"This sea beast tide can be considered over, and you have all worked hard. Being able to defend Wufeng Valley is the result of everyone's joint efforts."
The white-robed old man stood in the air, speaking to the cultivators. Soon after, only some Mingyang Sect cultivators remained. The other loose cultivators and cultivators like Zhang Ling who had come to support from the Immortal City had already dispersed.
A quarter of an hour later, Zhang Ling returned to his cave. He did nothing but sat directly on the bed and began circulating his cultivated Dry Earth Skill.
After three hours, Zhang Ling breathed a sigh of relief and opened his eyes. At this moment, he had returned to his peak condition.
During the previous defense against the sea beast tide, for two whole days, he had consumed many pills to quickly restore spiritual power.
These pills could quickly restore spiritual power and contained a large amount of it. However, they also had some side effects.
These pills had only been simply converted into the cultivator's spiritual power and had not been refined by the cultivation method. If they accumulated in the body for a long time, they would cause some damage to the cultivator's meridians and dantian.
Therefore, as soon as they were out of danger, cultivators would meditate to refine the residual medicinal power in their bodies.
Zhang Ling had been doing this for the past few hours. Now he was full of energy and also felt that the spiritual power in his body had increased a little.
This could be considered a small surprise.
Then, with a wave of his hand, a flash of spiritual light appeared on the ground, and many sea beast corpses appeared. They instantly filled the entire stone house.
Next, he dealt with these sea beast corpses, which were all second and third-order sea beast corpses.
There were many different types. Zhang Ling counted them. There were eight second-order sea beasts, four third-order sea beasts, and one fourth-order sea beast corpse.
This was a flat, silver-scaled, fat-headed fish, as thick as a bucket and over ten feet long. Its entire body was covered with silver scales, with some colorful spiritual light flowing on them, making it look quite dazzling.
However, what was strange was that its head had turned blue-black, obviously poisoned.
It had been poisoned to death by Zhang Ling using Corrosive Spirit Water venom and several other poisons. This method was difficult to succeed against cultivators, but he had a mysterious bead that could catalyze some highly poisonous spiritual herbs to a very high age.
In addition, with the Poison Manual he had obtained before, he had also researched several highly poisonous things in recent years.
This fourth-order sea beast had rashly swallowed a few poisonous pills he had released and died violently.
Otherwise, if he wanted to kill this beast with his methods, he would have to use magic weapons and sword talismans.
Then, Zhang Ling began to deal with the corpses of these sea beasts. Not to mention anything else, the flesh and blood of these dozen or so sea beasts could condense a lot of monster beast essence blood.
This monster beast essence blood could not only be used to make pills but also to refine some cinnabar spiritual liquid needed for second-order talismans.
Before long, Zhang Ling had collected five or six bottles of sea beast blood, which he sealed with ice. He collected these naturally for alchemy.
After collecting several bottles containing sea beast essence blood, Zhang Ling patted a dusty bag around his waist. With a flash of yellow light, a half-person-high, fat thing appeared on the ground.
This was a yellow-haired, double-tailed tabby cat, but several times larger than ordinary wild cats. At this moment, it was coiled on the ground like a毛毯rug.
Seeing this, Zhang Ling raised his hand and patted the big cat's head. Only then did the tabby cat lazily open its mouth twice, and a pair of resentful cat eyes looked at him.
"Tiger, it's time to eat."
Zhang Ling touched the double-tailed cat's head and pointed to a cyan sea beast corpse next to it.
Meow!
When the double-tailed cat heard Zhang Ling's words, it raised its head and sniffed the sea beast twice, and its eyes lit up. With a swish, it stood up.
Then, it kicked its legs and turned into a black shadow, rushing to the front of the sea beast and devouring it.
Seeing this, a flash of spiritual light appeared in Zhang Ling's eyes, and he scanned the double-tailed cat a few times. His double-tailed cat's strength had also reached the late stage of the first order.
And he collected this sea beast essence blood to refine a kind of spirit-feeding pill, which was used to cultivate spirit beasts.
In the past few years, he had also often refined spirit-feeding pills. With a large number of pills, he had this spirit beast's rapid advancement.
However, he still didn't understand what special ability this double-tailed cat had. It seemed to be just an ordinary spirit beast. Apart from being able to spit out flames similar to a Fireball spell, this was something that ordinary monsters could also do.
Zhang Ling looked at the spirit beast a few times and then withdrew his gaze. Then, he took out a jade slip and began to study the things in it.
Two days later, Zhang Ling and four cultivators flew away from Wufeng Valley on their magical artifacts. They were going to clear out the escaped second and third-order sea beasts.
Now that the sea beast tide had receded, the sea beast tide was not a one-time event. The Mingyang Sect cultivators speculated that there would be an even larger sea beast tide in half a month.
The reason why they mobilized these Foundation Establishment stage cultivators was to eliminate those isolated sea beasts in the short gap time.
In addition to their Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, a large number of Qi Refining stage cultivators were also dispatched. Zhang Ling also learned some other news from several familiar cultivators.
Most of the sea beasts that besieged Wufeng Valley a day ago had retreated. There were a total of five high-level sea beasts that besieged this place. Four were killed, and only one green dragon, said to be a seventh-order demon beast, escaped.
Although they successfully resisted this sea beast tide in Wufeng Valley, the coastal area was not the only stronghold.
Taking Dongping Kingdom as an example, the coastal area was tens of thousands of miles long, with seven strongholds. Only four strongholds successfully resisted the sea beasts in this beast tide. The other three strongholds were breached by the sea beasts.
There were traces of high-level alien demons in the breached strongholds. If it hadn't been for a high-level cultivator coming to reinforce them earlier, killing two high-level sea beasts, and forcing back the attacking alien demons, their Wufeng Valley would have been difficult to secure.
