Chapter 309: Military Training

"Hahaha!" freёwebnovel.com

Over twenty Treasure Hunters stood at the entrance to the valley, hearing the arrogant words echoing from within Mountain Valley. They couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This group of Treasure Hunters had already wiped out several medium-sized families in the past few days. They had never encountered anyone who dared to speak to them like this before, so their egos naturally swelled.

If it weren't for the Large Formation blocking their way, they would have stormed in long ago.

"Cao Fellow Daoist, it seems that the formation set up in this Mountain Valley is quite peculiar. What do you think about how to break it?" The white-haired Old Man leading the group turned to a scruffy-looking cultivator in the back of the crowd and asked.

This seemingly downtrodden cultivator was the only formation expert among the Treasure Hunters. He straightened his beard and tried to focus as he stepped forward.

Finally, it was his moment to shine. As a professional second-tier formation expert, he had no combat abilities. He was just trying to survive among a group of treasure-hunting cultivators who only knew how to kill and loot.

Now, he could finally demonstrate his worth. Among second-tier formation experts, he was considered one of the best.

Cao, the formation expert, began to investigate the formation. However, as he delved into it, he found the formation to be incredibly complex, and he couldn't make heads or tails of it.

After pondering for a while, he realized that this Large Formation was beyond his ability to decipher. But he couldn't admit it directly.

He didn't have much status within this treasure-hunting team to begin with. If he admitted defeat, it would mean he had no utility, and his death would be imminent.

Others wouldn't think the formation was too complex; they would see him as a fraud.

Cao pretended to investigate the formation while buying time, hoping for a breakthrough.

Meanwhile, inside the Large Formation, Luo Zhongjie had organized over a hundred Qi Cultivation stage members into rows, each holding a magical weapon bow and arrow.

Since so many people had come to them, it was a perfect opportunity for some military training. Otherwise, he would have sent a group of Foundation Building cultivators to go out and annihilate them.

When the incense in front of the formation was about to burn out, all the team members slowly raised their bows and arrows, aiming at Cao, who was still pretending to investigate the formation.

Due to the Large Formation, those inside Mountain Valley could clearly see the outside, but the Treasure Hunters outside could only see a thick mist.

Cao, pretending to be nonchalant, suddenly felt his heart racing. This was definitely a dangerous sign.

He casually walked back to the white-haired Old Man.

"While this formation is mysterious, I've already figured out its essence," Cao said as he spoke while discreetly moving closer to the crowd.

The white-haired Old Man was about to inquire further when suddenly, over a hundred arrows shot out from the Large Formation, heading straight for him.

The white-haired Old Man had lived for over a hundred years, and his combat experience was extensive. Without panicking, he swiftly moved behind two tall cultivators who had let their guard down, using them as human shields.

Unfortunately, those two tall cultivators were struck by several arrows, becoming human pincushions.

Swoosh! Afterward, a cultivator who had been standing behind the white-haired Old Man, although he activated a protective shield, was still pierced like a hedgehog.

The two cultivators who had served as shields for the white-haired Old Man also got hit by several arrows, but luckily, the injuries were not fatal.The first barrage of arrows had just ended when the second one struck. However, this time, they were prepared, and the arrows shot by the Qi Cultivation stage cultivators couldn't harm them for the time being.

The white-haired Old Man caught a few of the arrows and examined them. They turned out to be just ordinary Magical Weapon arrows.

"These are just some Qi Cultivation cultivators. Let's charge in and leave no one alive," the white-haired Old Man declared, his anger flaring up at the audacity of the attackers.

"How do we break the formation?" he asked Cao, the formation expert.

Cao, trying to save his own skin, randomly pointed in a direction and explained, "Walk eight feet forward from the Gen position, then five feet toward the Kan position..."

With that, the Treasure Hunters immediately rushed in the direction indicated by the formation expert. They couldn't afford to be late; otherwise, all the benefits might be taken by others.

Cao followed behind the group, but when he saw everyone entering the formation's mist, he turned and fled.

He didn't dare to enter the formation as it became increasingly bewildering. He had been captured by these people, but he had no intention of sharing their fate.

Cao initially thought of escaping right then, but later, his curiosity got the better of him. He hid on a distant hill and observed quietly.

For several days, the Large Formation remained eerily silent, with no changes and no one coming out.

This left Cao in disbelief, as he had personally witnessed the strength of these Treasure Hunters. The forces they had eliminated were all well-known in the area, and none of them were weak.

Terrified, he couldn't stay any longer and quietly slipped away. In the current Cultivation World, very few dared to fly solo.

On the side of Mountain Valley, Luo Zhongjie saw the Treasure Hunters rush into the Large Formation and took advantage of the situation. He trapped them all within the formation, releasing only one or two individuals into Mountain Valley at a time. Then, the Qi Cultivation stage team members would surround and engage them, practicing various battle tactics.

After each opponent was defeated, Luo Zhongjie provided targeted feedback before releasing the next batch of people.

These team members rapidly progressed in cultivation due to the abundance of resources. The first group of a hundred had all reached the later stages of Qi Cultivation, with some even achieving Foundation Building.

Although they had cultivation levels, their actual combat experience was limited. Luo Zhongjie gave them the opportunity to gain combat experience in this battle.

The second batch of recruits consisted mostly of underage individuals with cultivation levels at Qi Cultivation stages three or four. They had never experienced battle before and were mainly there to observe and gain exposure to combat.

After this battle, the spirits and temperaments of these Qi Cultivation stage team members unknowingly changed significantly. After all, they had now slain Foundation Building cultivators. From now on, they would no longer fear facing Foundation Building cultivators.

While Luo Zhongjie's Mountain Valley base defeated the Treasure Hunters, more and more Treasure Hunters were gathering around Azure Void City.

At this point, within the East Zhou Cultivation Realm, aside from some major sects and cities, no place remained peaceful.

Although the Demon Clan had been the first to cause chaos in East Zhou, their numbers were limited. Their primary role was to stir up desires within people's hearts.

Some cultivators who had previously lived quietly were now incited by the chaos, transforming into Treasure Hunters. They saw an opportunity to plunder and couldn't resist the temptation. As chaos spread, many small factions were wiped out, and even medium-sized sects and families were attacked and annihilated.

Although some major forces had Golden Core cultivators remaining behind, they dared not leave their own protected areas easily. In case they were ambushed, they would regret their decision.
