Several individuals swept their Divine Senses and spotted a savage beast emerging near Jia Liang's Flying Boat. It seemed poised to launch a surprise attack, but to its misfortune, it barely showed itself before being met with a head-on assault of Thunder and Lightning.
At this moment, Wang Hong and his companions redirected their attacks towards the savage beast.
The Four Symbols Sword Formation instantly enveloped it within its confines.
Now, Wang Hong could carefully observe the savage beast through his Divine Sense.
This creature had a pair of enormous wings, but they lacked feathers. Instead, the wings were composed of a membranous material, no different from that of a bat.
With the savage beast trapped in his formation, it relentlessly attacked the Four Symbols Sword Formation, drawing countless illusory figures to counter its assault.
Since they didn't understand much about savage beasts, Wang Hong decided to capture it alive for further study.
He activated the formation, tormenting the savage beast until it was exhausted, then signaled Sloppy Old Daoist to prepare the Large Black Cauldron.
Once he slightly withdrew the sword formation, Sloppy Old Daoist's cauldron swiftly swooped in, capturing the savage beast inside.
With the savage beast no longer causing trouble, the team encountered fewer dangers within the Black Wind. This time, the Black Wind they encountered wasn't too ferocious.
Two days later, the team successfully left the Black Wind area. Now, four Nascent Soul Cultivators, along with Chen Xiaofeng, gathered on the deck of a Flying Boat, disassembling the savage beast's corpse.
After two days of investigation, they had learned that the savage beast's skin had the property of blocking Divine Sense, making it impervious even to Nascent Soul stage Divine Sense.
Furthermore, this savage beast possessed a teleportation-like ability.
Carefully peeling off its skin, Chen Xiaofeng's eyes lit up as he examined it.
"Your Majesty, can I take this skin for Refinement?"
"This is a tier-four material. Are you sure you can Refine it?" Chen Xiaofeng was currently only at the Golden Core Stage, and tier-four materials posed some difficulty.
"I'm confident I have a fifty-percent chance," Chen Xiaofeng replied confidently, which was quite high.
"Very well, it's yours."
After handing over the skin to Chen Xiaofeng, they continued dissecting the beast.
"Do you think this kind of savage beast meat is edible?"
Sloppy Old Daoist gazed at the finely cut meat. With his years of experience, he believed this meat was suitable for stir-frying, grilling, and similar cooking methods.
"It should be non-toxic, but as for taste, we can't be certain," Wang Hong, accustomed to poison research, could easily determine whether it was poisonous or not.
"Hey, what's this?"
As they chatted, Liu Changsheng reached into the savage beast's chest cavity and pulled out a blood-red crystal.
The crystal had a faceted appearance, was translucent, and emitted a red glow. Holding it in their hands, they could feel a surging energy.
This energy was different from Spiritual Energy but was unmistakably powerful.
None of them had heard of such a thing before, but based on their speculations, it was likely similar to a demon core.
Wang Hong decided to temporarily store it away for future study.
Soon, they had completely disassembled the savage beast, and they found containers to organize and store the various parts.
"Roar! Roar!"
Just then, from a distance, they heard a few roars, and soon two figures appeared from the direction of the roars.
"Oh no, two more are coming!"
"They're enormous!"
Two savage beasts approached, identical in shape to the one they had slain earlier, but much larger, with wingspans at least as wide as two transporting Flying Boats put together.
"They brought the big ones!"
Observing the colossal figures, Sloppy Old Daoist couldn't help but exclaim.
After a brief thought, Wang Hong shouted, "Xu Lun, lead all the Flying Boats forward and search for an island to land on."
"Liu Changsheng, Senior Brother Chu, Jia Liang, the three of you, follow me to confront them!"
Under Xu Lun's command, all the Flying Boats quickly departed, leaving Wang Hong and his group suspended in place, waiting for the arrival of the two colossal savage beasts.
The two enormous savage beasts paid no attention to the four individuals and charged straight at them.
Wang Hong felt as if a massive mountain was hurtling towards him, pure brute force devoid of any Spiritual Power or Demonic Energy.
He hastily invoked a green leaf barrier to block the overwhelming force, but it still pushed him back a hundred yards.
The other three used their own methods: Jia Liang summoned Thunder and Lightning to form a hundred shields, while Sloppy Old Daoist used his large cauldron as a shield.
However, Liu Changsheng was comparatively weaker in a head-on fight. Despite creating a green leaf barrier, Wang Hong noticed blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.
This savage beast was indeed formidable. According to Wang Hong's estimation, it was at least equivalent to the later stages of Nascent Soul cultivation. Moreover, in the Land of Desolate Spirits, the effectiveness of Magical Arts and Magic weapons was reduced, making it even more challenging to deal with.
After crashing into the four individuals, the two savage beasts seemed to completely ignore their presence, letting out a roar and charging straight towards the Flying Boat formation ahead.
As Nascent Soul Cultivators, this was the first time they had been disregarded by their opponents. To regain some dignity for Nascent Soul Cultivators, the four of them pursued the savage beasts.
Just then, the two savage beasts executed a teleportation-like maneuver, instantly reaching the Flying Boat they had previously dismembered. On the deck were various parts of the savage beast's body.
The two savage beasts emitted a mournful howl, flapping their wings, and in an instant, the Flying Boat was reduced to rubble. Many Cultivators on board were turned into bloody mist, with only a few Golden Core cultivators or Third-Grade Martial Artists managing to escape to other nearby Flying Boats.
At this moment, the two savage beasts seemed to have gone mad, consecutively destroying several more Flying Boats. Only a few Flying Boats that were further away managed to avoid casualties despite the destruction of their vessels.
Watching this scene, Wang Hong's anger flared. His subordinates had been battling the Demon Clan for a year without casualties, and yet here, they had suffered such significant losses in an instant.
By now, the four of them had caught up with the two savage beasts. Wang Hong summoned his four Flying Swords to form the Four Symbols Sword Formation.
"I'll trap one; you three deal with the other."
With that, his Four Symbols Sword Formation instantly enclosed one of the rampaging savage beasts.
Jia Liang and the other two surrounded the remaining savage beast, employing all their techniques.
The savage beast trapped by Wang Hong struggled frantically within the formation, causing the Large Formation to tremble continuously.
Wang Hong worked hard to maintain the operation of the sword formation. A significant part of the Four Symbols Sword Formation's power came from the Golden Crow Fire inherent in the Flying Swords.
With the potent Golden Crow Fire as a foundation, various derivative attacks gained significant power.
Meanwhile, Jia Liang and the others were jointly dealing with the other savage beast. After the initial frenzy, this savage beast gradually calmed down, but it became even more challenging to handle.
It repeatedly used invisibility and teleportation techniques, eluding the three of them and becoming elusive and unpredictable.
With such formidable strength, it insisted on playing the stealth and ambush game.
The three of them struggled to counter its attacks, and as the battle continued, the savage beast occasionally managed to break through and destroy several more Flying Boats.
