Chapter 177 Handling Logistics
The moment the formation was completed.
A mysterious Spiritual Aura surged on Moon Gazing Island, resonating with the Spiritual Energy between Heaven and Earth.
From then on, Moon Gazing Island also had the appearance of a large island.
"This Tier Three Middle-Grade Grand Formation from Thunder Origin Sect is truly worth more than its price! Not bad, not bad!" Qin Ming watched the Magic Formation in the Sky Above with his hands behind his back, and smiled faintly.
The Wu Clan members also noticed this situation, and they all curiously looked at the huge tortoise shell-shaped Light Screen in the Sky, sighing in amazement.
"Ah! I never thought that this old man would live for so long, yet this is the first time I have personally experienced the protection of a Tier-3 Grand Formation. This life has been worth it, hahaha!" Wu Clan Leader Wu Hanyuan exclaimed.
Wu Jiang chuckled and said, "How is it, old man? My choice back then was not wrong, right!"
"If I hadn't insisted on going to the Cloud Wilderness Marsh, I wouldn't have met Fellow Cultivator Qin."
"Back then, I used my sharp eyes to judge that Fellow Cultivator Qin was no ordinary person and would soar to the sky sooner or later. Look at Moon Gazing Island now, not only has the Spirit Vein been improved, but even a Tier Three Middle-Grade Grand Formation has been set up."
"Even Phoenix Perching Island, the Headquarters of the Loose Cultivator Alliance, can't compare to this place now, hehehe!"
"Yes… ever since you were little, I knew you would be promising."
"Moon Gazing Island from now on, wow, can be considered truly impregnable."
…
Two days later.
Qin Ming was meditating and Cultivation in his Cave Residence.
Suddenly!
He suddenly opened his eyes.
In the Sky Above Moon Gazing Island, a Demonic Beast wind swept through.
Dozens of black Demon Birds circled in the Cloud Layer above. The Aura on three or four of the Demon Bird's bodies had already reached Second Tier Early-Stage, and the rest were Tier One Mid-Late Stage.
The Wu Clan members also discovered these Demonic Beast with terrifying auras. They were just Qi Condensation Cultivator, and even with the protection of the Tier-3 Grand Formation, they couldn't help but show panic in their eyes when they really encountered a Beast Tide.
"No need to be nervous, they are just some stray fish that slipped through the net, probably wanting to bypass the Loose Cultivator Alliance's defense line and enter the interior of the Spirit Dwelling Islands."
Qin Ming glanced at the Sky Above, and said calmly.
Mysterious Water Crocodile and Silver-Winged Frost Bee below were already eager to try, but Qin Ming told them not to move for now.
If he killed the Demon Birds above and attracted a larger scale Demon Beast Swarm, turning Moon Gazing Island into a battlefield would be bad.
As expected, the group of Demonic Beast circled in the Sky for half a day, unable to see through the Pink Mist below, and dared not approach.
So they continued to fly away towards the south.
Three months after the Beast Tide struck.
The outskirts of the Spirit Dwelling Islands also began to show some shadows of Demonic Beast.
…
The signs of the Beast Tide outbreak actually began to appear a few years ago.
When Lü Liang was still leading the Scout Camp, he had already noticed that the Demonic Beast in the Beast Roar Mountain Range had begun to show frequent abnormal movements.
In addition, the Double Pupil Demon Ape clan later launched revenge and retaliation against the Spirit Dwelling Islands, completely detonating the conflict between Demonic Beast and the human race.
Qin Ming learned from Aunt Long of Mirror Snow Pavilion that the scale of this Beast Tide might be beyond imagination.
For example, Vast Sea Immortal City and the large Sects of the Cultivation World have already issued a large number of Missions, calling on their Disciples and Rogue Cultivator to go to the Front Lines to hunt Demonic Beast.
There are also many Monster Hunting Cultivator who want to get rich by hunting Demonic Beast to obtain Material, and they are emerging in endlessly.
In addition to guarding the defense line and hunting Demonic Beast, there are also Support Cultivator who use Demon Beast Materials in the Rear to refine Talismans, Pills, Magical Artifacts and other Hundred Crafts of Cultivation. These Cultivator will also receive more rewards than usual.
Although Qin Ming was content with his isolated corner and did not intend to go to the Front Line to fight Demonic Beast, after communicating with the Loose Cultivator Alliance, he agreed to refine and provide some Combat Supplies Pills from time to time.
He also considered this as contributing to the Lingxi Archipelago Cultivation World.
After all, if the Demonic Beast really occupied the Spirit Dwelling Islands, then he would really become an isolated Island.
…
Two months passed again.
News came from the Front Line that this Beast Tide was extraordinary. Even Heavenly River Market and several Foundation Establishment Spirit Island Family were breached and swallowed by the Beast Tide.
The Resources on the market, such as Talismans, Pills, Magical Artifacts, Formations, Spirit Rice, etc., have all continued to rise in price across the board.
Especially treatment and life-saving Resources are very scarce, and have already increased by more than ten times compared to usual, and are still in short supply.
The original Golden Spirit Rice, Beast Tooth Rice, Five-Color Rice, and a small portion of Spirit Rest Rice in Qin Ming's hands have been consumed more rapidly recently, and some of them have been sold to the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
Fortunately, the Wu Clan on Moon Gazing Island was Farming, and there was still a lot of Spirit Rice in stock.
In addition, Qin Ming used the Demon Beast Materials provided by the Loose Cultivator Alliance to refine a lot of treatment Pills, as well as a small amount of Second Order Spirit Pill, and then sold them to them together.
He did not expect that the arrival of the Beast Tide would instead make this Rogue Cultivator, who did not leave his home, make a fortune.
The intensity of the Beast Tide outbreak far exceeded the expectations of the Senior Members of the Scattered Alliance. In just a few months, their Pill resource reserves were almost exhausted.
In the face of such a degree of natural disaster, it is still difficult to stay out of it.
Even Thunder Origin Sect and Spirit Feather Sect, whose conflicts had escalated to the point of being irreconcilable, had to cease fighting temporarily, put aside their grievances, and solve the Beast Tide issue first.
On this day.
Qin Ming was planning to go to manage the Spirit Field when a Message Talisman on his body sent a Message Transmission.
Opening it, he found that it was someone from the Seventy-Two Island Scattered Alliance who had come to purchase Pills again.
So he put down the Spirit Hoe in his hand and flew out of Moon Gazing Island.
Several Magic Boats of the Loose Cultivator Alliance were suspended and docked in the Vicinity of Moon Gazing Island.
Seeing Qin Ming come out, an old man in a gray robe on the main ship hurriedly greeted him. This person was a Mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level, but he still respectfully bowed to Qin Ming, "Fellow Cultivator Qin, the War ahead is really Strained, and I have no choice but to trouble Fellow Cultivator Qin to refine another batch of Spirit Pill."
This gray-robed old man named Zhou Ping was one of the new Elders in the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
"Fellow Cultivator Zhou, you don't need to be so polite. I just happened to refine a few batches of Rejuvenation Elixir, Restoration Elixir, and Immovable Snow Pill... I was just about to ask Wu Jiang to send them to you, but I didn't expect you to come just in time." Qin Ming smiled slightly, patted his Storage Bag, and took out dozens of bottles of Pills, including combat, recovery, and life-saving types.
Zhou Ping was overjoyed when he heard this, and sincerely thanked Qin Ming, "Thank you, Fellow Cultivator Qin! It is really a great fortune for our Spirit Dwelling Archipelago to have a Dao of Alchemy Grandmaster and Spirit Plant Grandmaster like you who have both virtue and talent!"
"If it weren't for you, we would have to go a long way to Azure Sea Immortal City to get these Pills. Not to mention the Demonic Beast threats along the way, it would also be time-consuming and laborious, and lengthen the Supply Line."
"You don't know, some Immortal Cities have been breached and people have died tragically precisely because they did not receive these emergency resource supplies in time, alas!"
"Fellow Cultivator Zhou, you are too kind. Qin is just doing my best." Qin Ming waved his hand and said. Zhou Ping put away the Pills, and then took out a thick bag of Spirit Stone from the Storage Bag and handed it to Qin Ming, "Fellow Cultivator Qin, can you count if these Spirit Stone are enough?"
Qin Ming took the Spirit Stone Pouch, sensed it slightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He put it away without even looking at it.
"These Spirit Stone are more than enough."
The Loose Cultivator Alliance was also quite sincere. For this batch of Pills alone, they paid him more than two hundred Middle-Grade Spirit Stone, which is equivalent to more than 20,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
Afterwards, Zhou Ping handed Qin Ming a pile of Demon Beast Flesh Material, entrusting him to help refine some Pills again when he had time.
"Fellow Cultivator Qin, this old man has a Mission and the War ahead is Strained, so I have to rush back immediately and won't stay any longer." Zhou Ping cupped his hands and said.
"Mm."
Suddenly!
Qin Ming was about to say goodbye to Zhou Ping and others, but his Divine Sense moved! He detected hundreds of Demon Bird in the Sky ten miles away, overwhelmingly killing towards this side.
This group of Demonic Beast should have been eyeing Zhou Ping's Fleet for a long time, all lurking in the Cloud Layer, their whereabouts were very hidden and difficult to detect.
The leading Demonic Beast, with a Wingspan of seven or eight Zhang wide, had a layer of silver Electric Rays surrounding its wings. It was actually a Late Tier 2 Thunder Roc.
"Don't move yet!" Qin Ming frowned, and hurriedly stopped Zhou Ping and others.
A trace of doubt flashed across Zhou Ping's face at first, but he still put on a smile and asked, "Fellow Cultivator Qin, is there anything else?"
"Immediately tell your people to prepare for battle!"
"There is a group of flying Demonic Beast rushing over here, they should be coming for you." Qin Ming said quickly with a serious expression.
"Ah?" Zhou Ping looked blank for a moment.
He hurriedly released his Divine Sense to investigate, but he didn't find even a single Demonic Beast hair, let alone Demonic Beast.
But Fellow Cultivator Qin would never joke about such a thing. Could it be that... the other party's Divine Sense is far beyond his Mid-Foundation Establishment Stage? Although the Divine Sense of Dao of Alchemy Grandmaster is often higher than ordinary Cultivator, he did not expect Fellow Cultivator Qin's Divine Sense to be so ridiculously strong.
At this time, he couldn't afford to think too much. Zhou Ping immediately flew back to the ship, used Magical Power and shouted loudly: "Beast attack! About to arrive here! Prepare to fight me immediately!"
In an instant.
The Cultivator on the three Magic Boats were all facing a formidable enemy. Under the command of the Officer, they began to fill Spirit Energy Cannon with Spirit Stone one after another.
All the Combat Cultivator with slightly higher Cultivation stood on the bow of the ship, took out Magical Artifacts, and prepared to compete with the Demonic Beast.
"Alas!"
Qin Ming shook his head helplessly when he saw their posture.
The Cultivator on these Magic Boats are basically Qi Condensation Stage, and the Foundation Establishment Stage combat power, including Zhou Ping, is only three people in total. It is estimated that it is not enough for that Late Tier 2 Thunder Roc to fill its teeth... Soon, in less than half a cup of tea's time.
In the distant Sky, a dark mass of Demonic Beast Swarm, Demonic Beast Aura soaring to the sky, densely packed, like dark clouds pressing down on the top, swept towards this side.
When the Loose Cultivator Alliance people saw such a scene, their expressions changed drastically involuntarily.
And when Zhou Ping noticed the existence of the Thunder Roc.
His whole person turned pale, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
But as an Elder of the Scattered Alliance, at this critical juncture, he did not lose his composure, and began to Set up Formation in an orderly manner without fear in the face of danger.
"Fellow Cultivator Qin, please return to the Island quickly to hide, we will resist here." Zhou Ping sent an urgent Message Transmission to Qin Ming.
A few breaths later.
The Scattered Alliance Fleet and the attacking Demonic Beast engaged in fire. For a time, Spells of various colors suddenly bloomed in the Sky Above Moon Gazing Lake.
Chirp! Suddenly, a Demonic Beast wind arose, and after a burst of Lightning and Thunder, a huge Thunder Roc, wrapped in silver Electric Rays, with a pair of Wingspan unfolded, covering the sky and the sun, suddenly appeared directly above several ships.
At the same time.
The Might of a Late Tier 2 Great Beast descended!
The Spirit Energy Cannon on the Magic Boat bombarded the Thunder Roc, as if scratching its itch. It was seen that Electric Arcs flickered around its body, easily resisting all these Spells.
As Thunder Roc waved its wings, countless Electric Arcs were released. Several Loose Cultivator Alliance Cultivator were struck by Lightning and instantly bombarded into countless Blood Chunk, falling from the Sky.
Its Offspring let out sharp hisses, and rushed down, quickly devouring all the Flesh.
"Damn it! It's a Late Tier 2 Great Beast!"
"It's over!"
"!!!"
The Cultivator on the Magic Boat looked at this scene, all with a Look of Distress, sighing incessantly.
Qin Ming knew that these Loose Cultivator Alliance people were definitely not opponents of this group of Demonic Beast, and thought to himself: "Forget it, it just so happens that I am short of Material for Pill Refining, so I will use the Flesh of this Thunder Roc to refine them."
Immediately, his mind moved, and he contacted Dark Water Crocodile.
"Blockhead! Come out and work, this Thunder Roc's Demon Core is yours."
Roar! Just when the Loose Cultivator Alliance people were desperate, a giant roar resounded between Heaven and Earth.
Splash!
Everyone's attention was instantly attracted to it, but they saw a giant Demonic Beast, a crocodile with a body length of twenty Zhang, suddenly rushing out from the bottom of Moon Gazing Lake, rolling up a shocking wave, and exuding an even more terrifying Aura.
The Loose Cultivator Alliance people were terrified, "There is another Great Beast under there?!"
Immediately, they were about to turn their guns and fire at Mysterious Water Crocodile.
Qin Ming quickly stopped them, "Fellow Cultivator Zhou, this Mysterious Water Crocodile is my Spirit Pet, it is here to help you."
"Ah?"
"Oh oh oh!"
"Stop it for me! This is Fellow Cultivator Qin's Spirit Pet, it's here to help us."
…
Mysterious Water Crocodile's pair of Vertical Pupils were cold and ruthless, staring intently at the Late Tier 2 Thunder Roc.
Involuntarily drooling.
Immediately, it roared to the sky, and suddenly with a flick of its body, it pounced towards the Thunder Roc!
