Chapter 1151 The Beast"s Join

Even one extra man killed was one less foe for them to fight after all. So the rapid activation of traps was not a loss. Optimally, they would have activated them in sequences and according to the best situation so that a better effect was obtained.

But that was clearly not an option now.

"d.a.m.n THE SOUTHERNERS PIGS!" The Dao Treading realm elder shouted in rage.

The commanders looked on in anger as well, trying to figure out the next course of action.

Around twenty percent of their soldiers had been killed just now. This was a ma.s.sive number as many armies"s stopped fighting once the number of soldiers on one end fell to less than seventy percent.

Of course, this was usually the thing for mortal armies and not for cultivators, but it was still a large enough number to make a ma.s.sive difference in the final outcome. After all, the northern tribes were effectively going against a population many times higher than theirs.

Even a minor loss might become dangerous for them in the long term. And while they were prepared to lose them in the battles, it was basically a waste now, since this was no battle.

It was a shame for them to see their men fall without even having to fight. And there was no army in front of them to fight either.

"How did they find out about the pa.s.sage?!" The elders couldn"t believe their eyes.

"The Juniors! Did they end up revealing it to someone hidden?" They wondered.

And that was exactly what had happened. But they didn"t know that Lin Mu had learned more about their plans and was ready for exactly that.

One of the council members flew up and looked around, trying to see if there was anyone nearby.

"If they activated the formations just now, there must be someone nearby. They would have to know the exact time to do that so it was definitely not an automatic activation." The council member thought.

Meanwhile, the other Dao Treading realm cultivator who had thrown the bone stake and broken the formations was now setting up his own formations. He threw out several flags and scattered some dust in the air.

The dust was pitch black and looked like ground up coal. But at the same time, it looked a little liquid seeing how it floated in the air.

"Elder Nine!" The Dao Treading realm elder, using the dust called out. "a.s.sist me!"

"ON IT!" The elder t.i.tled Elder Nine appeared out of the army, showing Dao Sh.e.l.l realm fluctuations as well.

Lin Mu who was observing it all narrowed his eyes as he found it a bit strange.

"Why does the Dao Treading realm cultivator need the a.s.sistance of a Dao Sh.e.l.l realm one?" Lin Mu wondered.

But his doubts were soon answered as he saw what they did next.

The dust using elder gathered two fistfuls of black dust from a pouch on his waist and threw it in the air.

"GHOST DUST REVELATION!" he chanted as a few runes appeared in the air and merged into the dust.

"GO!" Elder Nine, on the other hand, clapped his hands and sent out a strong gust of wind, blowing away all the dust.

It was as if a dust storm had formed in the air as the black dust started to cover the entire five kilometer wide area.

"Everyone, be careful!" The patriarchs warned.

They certainly didn"t know what the dust was, and it may very well be a poison. In less than a few seconds, the dust reached the hill, hidden with an illusion, and came to a halt. Normally this should not be possible and normal dust would have justs blown through, as if there was nothing there.

But the Black dust as clearly blocked.

"THERE! THEY ARE HIDING THERE!" The Dust using elder shouted.

"CHARGE!" The commanders ordered, before throwing a flag toward the direction of the hill.

This was the method of showing everyone where to attack.

The army rushed towards the hill, where Lin Mu and the rest were hidden, their full force being exerted.

"It is time… ACTIVATE THE GATES!" Lin Mu ordered.

"ALL TELEPORTATION GATES HAVE BEEN ACTIVATED!" Elder Liqiang stated.

~HONG~

Suddenly the air in the field flickered. The lower leveled cultivators didn"t feel much, but the Dao Treading realm and Dao Sh.e.l.l realm ones certainly did.

Elder Gunkao who was the strongest elder of the council felt the tens of spatial disturbances around them and knew that something was wrong. His eyes went wide when he sensed the s.p.a.ce tear apart.

"RETREAT! I SAID RETREAT!" The elder hurriedly ordered.

Unfortunately, it was too late as they were not up against traps this time.

~ROAR!~

~HOWL~

~SCREECH~

~CHIRP~

Various sounds of beasts crying were heard as strong waves of spirit Qi appeared out of nowhere.

The elders looked towards where the spatial fluctuations had come from and saw what looked like swirling black portals in the distance. And from those portals came out beasts.

"Beasts?" The Nascent soul realm soldiers flew up and looked in the distance as well, finding the beasts appearing.

"No…" But soon they realized something more. "It"s not just beasts…"

There were many different levels of spirit Qi fluctuations coming from the beasts, but none of them were weak. Even the weakest was at the core condensation realm with the majority being at the Nascent soul realm.

"D-Dao Sh.e.l.l realm beasts! THERE ARE DAO Sh.e.l.l REALM BEASTS!" The soldiers shouted.

The elders watched as a beast tide now surrounded them from two sides. There were Dao Sh.e.l.l realm beasts in the lead, with the weaker beasts at the back, clearly being controlled by the authority of a strong beast.

~SHUA~

"WHO!?" The dust controlling elder suddenly felt the dust in his control waver.

He looked toward the hill and saw ripples appearing in the air. Then in the next second, a man appeared from it. The man raised his hand and threw out something towards the army.

"TIME TO EAT!"
