Under coercion, a four-tier savage beast cautiously approached the stone wall, flying up to it.
The stone wall remained unresponsive until it extended its front claw and plucked a large crystal from it, tossing it towards a five-tier savage beast behind it. Suddenly, a tremendous suction force emanated from the stone wall.
The savage beast struggled desperately but to no avail, firmly adhered to the stone wall. It was visibly drained, with all its energy sucked away, leaving its entire body reduced to ashes.
Wang Hong, observing from a distance, noticed that as this savage beast was drained, a new crystal quietly formed on the stone wall.
Meanwhile, the three five-tier savage beasts below were locked in combat over that crystal. The other four-tier savage beasts trembled in fear, torn between staying and leaving.
After a brief but intense skirmish, the three savage beasts did not escalate the battle to a lethal extent. Instead, they shifted their attention back to the multitude of crystals covering the stone wall.
This time, the three savage beasts acted together, driving away a dozen or so four-tier savage beasts. Some of the disobedient ones were immediately killed.
The dozen or so savage beasts reluctantly began plucking crystals. After a while, they not only tossed back a dozen or so crystals but also managed to escape with a few.
The return of these crystals triggered another fight among the three savage beasts.
Watching from a distance, Wang Hong's group dared not approach. However, Wang Hong faintly sensed that the attraction towards Spirit Qi was slowly growing stronger, with the source seemingly being the stone wall.
"Let's go!" Wang Hong decided decisively. Since they couldn't obtain the crystals on the stone wall and staying here posed a danger, it was better to leave.
The group changed direction and retraced their steps, occasionally finding some valuable items along the way.
When they reached the edge of the island, the previously barely noticeable gravitational force suddenly intensified.
"Quick, run!" The six of them hurriedly fled the small island, while the savage beasts on the island scattered in all directions as if a pot had been stirred.
The three five-tier savage beasts in the center of the island also joined the fleeing ranks.
Wang Hong had a suspicion about this. This island seemed to be extremely dangerous under normal circumstances, to the point where even five-tier savage beasts couldn't stay. Only during specific times when the gravitational force disappeared did they have a chance to come to the island and collect crystals.
Occasionally, Wang Hong looked back and saw the three savage beasts attacking each other during their escape, indicating the strong allure of those crystals to them.
However, the gravitational force continued to intensify, forcing them to accelerate and leave the small island far behind, distancing themselves from the pursuing Demonic Beasts.
After covering more than a hundred miles, the gravitational force posed no danger to them anymore. Nevertheless, they didn't stop and quickly returned to the previous island where the rest of their team was stationed.
"Now we have a golden opportunity. Most of the savage beasts that escaped from the central island are injured, and they carry crystals they collected from the island. Let's intercept them now and seize a large haul to take home."
Upon hearing Wang Hong's proposal, everyone felt a stirring of interest. These injured savage beasts carried valuable loot, and the chance was indeed rare.
Soon, everyone boarded their sea vessels and Flying Boats, forming a formation to confront the recently escaped savage beasts.
These savage beasts had just fled the gravitational force and believed they could finally catch their breath when they saw the approaching fleet.
With the current strength of the fleet, as long as they didn't encounter five-tier savage beasts, they could freely roam among the savage beasts and ruthlessly slay them. Wherever they went, the sea water turned red.
Compared to hunting them down one by one, this method of attacking the savage beasts proved to be much more efficient, and most importantly, many of these savage beasts carried crystals to varying degrees.
Now that they had discovered the effectiveness of these crystals, it was only natural to collect as many as possible.
In terms of organization, savage beasts were far less capable than Demonic Beasts. Faced with a coordinated assault from the fleet, these savage beasts were like scattered infantry without any discipline.
Just when they were making good progress and thought that the savage beasts were disorganized and undisciplined, one four-tier savage beast being chased by them made a desperate flight towards a small island.
The Cultivators on the fleet didn't suspect anything and assumed the savage beast wanted to die comfortably in its own territory.
As this savage beast was about to enter a mountain cave, countless beams of light descended from the sky, killing it right at its doorstep, shattering the entrance of the cave in the process.
A tier-three warrior descended from one of the Flying Boats, responsible for collecting the slain savage beast's body.
As this warrior landed on the island, a furious roar emanated from within the mountain cave, causing rocks to fly.
"Retreat quickly!" Wang Hong shouted from the sea vessel while a crimson Flying Sword was unleashed.
However, he was a moment too late. A long, swift tongue shot out from the mountain cave, moving at incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, it pierced through the warrior, dragging him into the mountain cave.
Seeing this tongue, Wang Hong had a vague suspicion that one of the three five-tier savage beasts from earlier, resembling a lizard, had used a similar attack method.
It seemed they had provoked a formidable adversary this time and had foolishly delivered themselves right to the doorstep of a five-tier savage beast's cave mansion. Now, they could only hope that this savage beast was not carnivorous, or else they had become an unwitting meal.
"Retreat!" Before they could even initiate the retreat, a gigantic lizard-like savage beast crawled out of the cave.
Its mouth still had a human leg left uneaten, seemingly stuck between its teeth.
It had just fought a few battles and was resting and recuperating in its cave mansion. However, it never expected that these insignificant intruders would dare disturb its rest, making it extremely angry.
Now, its eyes were fixed firmly on the strange Flying Boat in front of it. It had never seen such a creature before and was contemplating whether it could defeat it.
When it saw the strange creatures seemingly preparing for a fight, it began to move forward.
The lizard moved across the ground like a gust of wind, reaching them in the blink of an eye. It extended a long and slender tongue towards one of the Flying Boats, attempting to pull it into its mouth.
As it tried to drag the Flying Boat into its mouth to taste this enormous creature, all the boats in the fleet stopped trying to escape and turned to attack the Giant Lizard simultaneously.
Meanwhile, Wang Hong handed over the command of the fleet to Hu Jian and flew out of the boat with eight Nascent Soul cultivators.
Wang Hong summoned the thirty-six leaves once more, confident that there were no outsiders around to recognize it.
Simultaneously, Hu Jian directed all the sea vessels and Flying Boats to launch the first wave of attacks on the savage beast.
An array of magic weapons radiated brilliant light and a barrage of short spears was unleashed, all hitting the savage beast with full force, causing it excruciating pain and severe injuries.
Most of the ten thousand people who had come out this time were warriors, and their strength was among the strongest in the military. Additionally, there were fifteen energy cannons on the three sea vessels, equivalent in power to Nascent Soul cultivators.
