Boom boom boom!
Countless fireballs shot out, sank deep into the cloud of insects, and then exploded with a loud bang.
In an instant, countless white flames spread rapidly from the insect cloud, igniting large areas of the insect cloud into huge balls of flames, illuminating the surrounding dark sky.
After an extreme burst, the brightness of the defensive light shield quickly dimmed and began to flicker slightly and unsteadily.
Although this attack cleared out most of the bugs, Zhao Sheng knew that it was only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution.
It won't be long before the evil insects return, because the poisonous insects in southern Xinjiang can never be killed.
As for using a formation to block the cloud of insects from coming in, Zhao Sheng had never even thought about it.
Faced with the impact of endless insect swarms, even if the Zhao family had spiritual mines at home, they could not afford the consumption of a second-level formation at full power all day and all night!
The formation is great, but it consumes too many spirit stones!
Zhao Sheng waved his hand, and the twelve red cloud banners flew out instantly, one after another evenly inserted into the top of the wall.
After seeing this scene, all the family members gathered around Zhao Sheng immediately without any reminder.
When all the tribesmen returned, Zhao Sheng had a thought, and the red cloud flag moved without wind. A large amount of pink and sweet mist spread out in an instant, covering the entire stone wall.
"Quickly retreat, everyone, hide in the cave for the time being!"
At Zhao Sheng's command, everyone, including Zhao Jinjian, immediately left the stone wall and retreated towards the cave without even asking why.
After everyone left, Zhao Sheng closed the formation and extinguished all the lights.
After casting the invisibility talisman and the spirit-suppressing talisman on himself, he quietly retreated into a stone chamber and secretly observed the movements.
Not long after, insects began to rain from the sky. Countless insects were attracted by the fragrance of the peach blossom miasma and rushed into the red clouds like moths to a flame.
At this time, the wild beasts and monsters gathered at the foot of the mountain also stepped on the pile of corpses and rushed to the top of the wall. Under the influence of the hallucinogenic red cloud, they began to fight each other for their lives. The scene was extremely bloody and tragic.
Since he had such a powerful weapon, why didn't Zhao Sheng use it at the beginning?
This is because although the red cloud is wonderful, it is not infinite.
As time passed, the air became increasingly thick with the stench of blood, and the ground was covered with layer upon layer of flesh and blood from corpses, piling up thicker and higher, until it was almost level with the three-meter-high stone wall.
Correspondingly, the red clouds were also consumed in large quantities, and the concentration of the clouds became lighter and thinner little by little.
By the second half of the night, the peach blossom miasma had become almost thin and had lost its hallucinogenic power.
Zhao Sheng quietly recalled the Red Cloud Banner and was heartbroken when he saw it.
At this time, more than half of the red clouds on the red cloud banner were gone, with only a few left on each side.
It's still unknown how long the beast tide will last. On the first day, most of the Red Cloud Banners were destroyed. We'll have to endure it for the rest of our lives.
At daybreak, the cloud of insects gradually dispersed. Only a few monsters survived, and all the ordinary animals were killed.
A faint sword shadow flashed by!
Sizzle!
A waterfall of blood suddenly spurted out from the neck of a double-tailed black tiger.
The monster, covered in scars, fell to the ground with a thud. After twitching a few times, it soon died.
Puff puff puff!
The invisible sword turned into an invisible ghost, cruelly and mercilessly harvesting the lives of monsters.
These exhausted and some seriously injured monsters and ferocious birds had much weaker spiritual perception than before, and they were killed by the invisible sword before they could even react.
However, there were exceptions. Two second-level monsters escaped the disaster.
A giant golden-armored python had extremely strong defense and actually relied on its golden scales to block the cut of the invisible sword.
On the other end was a second-level wind falcon. Its reaction was as fast as lightning. Before the invisible sword could cut it down, it disappeared in a flash, and when it reappeared, it was already a hundred feet high in the sky.
The giant golden-armored python raised its head high, sticking out its tongue to sense the surroundings, but it could not detect Zhao Sheng's presence.
The second-level demon python suddenly swung its body, and its thick tail slammed into the stone wall.
Bang bang bang!
Its tail was like a magic whip, lashing wildly. In an instant, the ground shook and deep grooves were carved out. Blood and flesh flew everywhere in the sky and on the ground, and countless cracks appeared on the stone walls.
After a while, the giant golden-armored python destroyed seven or eight houses in a row. After venting its anger, it suddenly stretched and twisted its body. In an instant, it rushed down the Rotten Peach Mountain like the wind and dived into the boundless jungle in a few seconds.
After a while, after making sure the giant python had left, Zhao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and walked out of the darkness.
It was not discovered before, until the giant golden-armored python showed its powerful fighting power.
Zhao Sheng suddenly realized that the other party was close to the third level, and his strength was equivalent to that of a cultivator at the ninth level of foundation building.
Even if the entire Zhao family were put together, it would still be far from enough.
After Zhao Sheng sent out a message, he looked at the tragic scene of corpses and blood in front of him and felt very worried.
The fighting was so intense in just one day, wouldn't it be even more brutal later?
Most importantly, has the beast tide passed?
While Zhao Sheng was thinking about something, he threw fireballs at the mountain of animal corpses and insects.
He was burning the corpse to prevent the smell of blood from spreading and attracting more monsters and insects.
A moment later, Zhao Jinjian and Zhao Keru led their tribesmen to this place quickly.
After seeing such a tragic scene, everyone gasped, and some of the younger ones turned extremely pale and almost vomited.
After a brief moment of shock, Zhao Jinjian and other older tribesmen immediately got busy.
The dead monsters were dragged aside and their fur, claws, scales, eyeballs and other useful parts were cut off.
The remaining useless scraps were burned together with the insect corpses and ordinary animals.
After a while, black smoke billowed from Rotten Peach Mountain, like a volcanic eruption.
The sun broke through the fog and gradually rose to the zenith.
The air within a radius of dozens of miles of Rotten Peach Mountain was filled with the aroma of meat and the smell of burning.
What made Zhao Sheng feel a little relieved on this day was that the size of the beast herd today was only one-tenth of yesterday's, and the number of insect clouds was also greatly reduced.
On the third day, the size of the beast herd and the insect cloud decreased a lot.
Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction, as if the beast tide had passed.
On the fourth day, the sky was gloomy and covered with dark clouds, as if it was going to rain.
But contrary to the gloomy weather, Zhao Sheng was in a very good mood.
After three days of fighting, only one person in the family died, which far exceeded his initial expectations.
And all this is largely thanks to Zhao Keru.
A few days before the beast tide came, Zhao Keru used the characteristics of the fire in the stone and was lucky enough to refine a furnace of Shengsheng Pills.
Shengsheng Pill is a second-level elixir that is mainly used to heal wounds and can provide a large amount of pure vitality.
As long as the soul is not injured, no matter how serious the injury to the body is, it can keep the injured person's last breath alive, and it can last for a full day.
However, Zhao Sheng's good mood only lasted for a while and was soon destroyed by a strange phenomenon that suddenly appeared in the sky.
Looking into the distant sky, a hint of red first appeared, then the horizon turned crimson. The crimson color then spread towards Rotten Peach Mountain, and the dark clouds in the sky were gradually "swamped".
