In the global desert, I have a spring of spiritual water.

He's a sentient being.

As expected, it's another Tier 2 Sand Demon!

Chen Chuan made a judgment and felt even more troubled. Under normal circumstances, humans of the same level could not defeat sand demons. At present, Geng Hu, the one with the highest cultivation in Taiping Village, was a first-level nine-star. Although he was only one step away from the second level, it was a step that many people could not cross in their entire lives.

Humans face difficulties in advancing to higher levels, and so do sand demons. A sand demon that can advance to the second tier possesses absolutely terrifying strength.

In terms of individual combat ability, no one in Taipingzhuang could match that Spider King.

Moreover, that guy seemed to be quite intelligent. Besides the main attack on the east gate, there were also a few sand demons attacking from the other three directions, which could be considered a feint attack.

MD!

Do the sand monsters of this world all know military strategy?

Chen Chuan cursed under his breath and began to think about how to get through this crisis.

Upon arriving in this world, he was given a built-in spiritual spring space, which was like a cheat code, and at the same time, he became a life source master.

The reason why the Life Source Master is hailed as the most powerful profession of this era is not only because of his ability to control water and explore water sources, but also because he can set up formations and inscribe talismans, which is equivalent to combining the professions of formation master and talisman master.

However, as a newly awakened Life Source Master, Chen Chuan only knows one basic formation and one basic talisman.

The formation is called the "Golden Bell Formation," and the talisman is called the "Mysterious Ice Talisman."

Setting up formations and inscribing talismans both require a lot of spiritual energy. On the way to Taiping Village, they might encounter sand demons at any time. Chen Chuan dared not waste the little spiritual energy he had in his body on experiments, so he had not yet tried the power of the Golden Bell Formation and the Mystic Ice Talisman.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

Just as Chen Chuan was pondering setting up a Golden Bell Formation to test it out, a sharp and piercing scream suddenly rang out in the night sky.

Chen Chuan trembled and panicked for a moment.

The members of the demon-suppressing team who were operating the catapult inside the pillbox stopped what they were doing and stared blankly.

It took the demon-suppressing team members a good two or three seconds to come to their senses.

Chen Chuan then realized that the sound was coming from the Spider King, and it had a mind-controlling effect.

He was a Life Source Master, and with his own cheat code, he wasn't greatly affected. But the demon-suppressing team members were different; it took them two or three seconds to come to their senses. Luckily, they were inside the pillbox; if they were on a battlefield, two or three seconds would have been enough to kill them.

Boom!

A loud noise came from outside the pillbox.

Unaware of what had happened, Chen Chuan rushed out of the pillbox to investigate.

"Young master, the city gates have fallen! Taiping Village cannot be defended!"

Geng Hu, who was guarding the watchtower, said urgently, "There's a second-tier sand demon here. I can't defeat it, but I can lead you out through another gate."

Before he could finish speaking, Hu Changhe stumbled over, his face filled with terror, and said, "Master, there's a second-tier sand demon! That thing's sticky silk shattered the city gate in an instant!"

Just now, the Spider King first let out a chilling cry, and then, taking advantage of the moment when the demon-suppressing team was stunned, it sprayed sticky silk that struck the most vulnerable city gate.

Judging from its actions, this spider king had been observing the defensive strength of Taipingzhuang and whether there were any cultivators in the city with stronger cultivation than itself, thus knowing its enemy and itself.

The intelligence of this second-tier sand demon is quite terrifying!

"Director Hu, gather the men, let's escort the young master out through another gate!"

Geng Hu said in a deep voice.

"Fight our way out?"

Hu Changhe was taken aback for a moment, then a cold smile appeared on his face: "You can lead the manor lord to fight your way out!"

After saying that, he looked at Chen Chuan and said with a complicated expression, "Master Chen, you are a noble person. Your life is much more precious than ours, a country bumpkin. With Guard Geng protecting you, you should be able to break through the encirclement."

"And our demon-suppressing team is going to engage these sand demons in close-quarters combat!"

After saying this, he turned and shouted to the demon-suppressing team members still on the city wall, "All demon-suppressing team members, listen to my command! Follow me down the city wall to slay the demon!"

"yes!"

The resounding responses echoed through the night sky.

Hu Changhe, carrying his long sword, leaped off the city wall without looking back, using the momentum of his fall to slash at a Saliva-faced Spider that had already entered the city.

The next moment, the saliva-faced spider was cleaved in two by the long sword, and a large amount of disgusting dark green liquid flowed out of its abdominal cavity.

"kill!"

"kill!!"

The demon-suppressing team members also jumped off the city wall and rushed towards the broken city gate to engage in close combat with the Saliva-Faced Spider that rushed into the city.

"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"

Geng Hu curled his lip: "Do you think they can stop these sand demons?"

"A bunch of idiots!"

Chen Chuan shook his head: "They're not stupid, they just can't escape. There are over ten thousand people living in Taiping Village, including their wives, children, and elderly parents!"

"If they escape, what will happen to the people? What will happen to their wives, children, and parents?"

Geng Hu was speechless for a moment. He had just arrived in Taipingzhuang today and naturally had no sense of belonging to this place. Therefore, when faced with a major crisis, his first thought was to escape, since he had no ties to anyone.

After hearing Chen Chuan's words, he realized how foolish he had been to ask Hu Changhe to lead men to protect Chen Chuan as he escaped.

"Young master, we can't possibly stay here and be buried with him, can we?"

Geng Hu glanced with lingering fear at the Spider King, who was slowly moving towards the city gate. The guy was extremely cautious; even when the city gate was breached, he let his "little brothers" rush in first.

"Go help Old Hu and wipe out all the sand demons that have already entered the city. I'll set up an array to seal off the city gates!"

Chen Chuan had already come up with a plan. The Golden Bell Formation was a defensive formation, and he could only set up the first level of the Golden Bell Formation at the moment. He wasn't sure how strong its defense was, but it was still stronger than the breached city gate!

If the city gates are sealed off, those drooling spiders won't be able to rush into the city for a while, and there will still be a chance.

"Formation?"

"Young Master, you've really become a Fate Source Master?"

Geng Hu was greatly alarmed.

"Now is not the time to talk about this."

Chen Chuan sat cross-legged and began to set up an array based on the information in his mind.

This Golden Bell Formation was automatically mastered by him upon awakening as a Life Source Master, as if it were a program engraved in his mind. He mobilized the spiritual power within his body to inscribe the formation diagram in the void, consuming one Grade C energy stone.

Immediately following, a huge phantom of a golden bell appeared in the night sky. With a thought, Chen Chuan caused the phantom of the golden bell, which had been floating in mid-air, to land in front of the city gate with a "boom".

The three Saliva-Faced Spiders, which were about to enter the city, were trapped by the Golden Bell. Their distorted human faces on their abdomens showed expressions of terror. Then, the three Saliva-Faced Spiders began to dart around in all directions, trying to escape. However, their thighs would melt instantly if they touched the Golden Bell array.

In an instant, the three-headed, drooling spiders had seven or eight legs melted off by the Golden Bell Formation. They dared not move again and could only lie ferociously inside the Golden Bell Formation.

Upon seeing this, Hu Changhe and the demon-suppressing team members were initially taken aback, but then their faces lit up with joy. Although they didn't know why the "Golden Bell" had appeared out of thin air, with the Golden Bell blocking the city gate, the Saliva-Faced Ghost Spiders behind them would not be able to enter the city.

There are still more than twenty drooling spiders in the city, which can be easily dealt with if we close the door and beat them.

"Demon Suppression Team Two and Three, return to the city wall! Demon Suppression Team One, wipe out all the sand demons inside the city!"

Hu Changhe immediately made a tactical change. Since these saliva-faced spiders could no longer enter the city through the city gate, they would naturally climb back up the city wall.

In the distance, the second-tier spider king showed obvious shock on its face after seeing the golden bell array descending from the sky. Its scarlet eyes swept across the city wall and quickly locked onto Chen Chuan.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

The piercing scream rang out again.

Immediately afterwards, a sticky thread shot out from the Spider King's mouth and slammed straight towards Chen Chuan.

boom!

Another golden bell formation descended from the sky, enveloping Chen Chuan.

The next moment, the sticky silk sprayed by the Spider King slammed heavily onto the Golden Bell Array. The pale yellow light shield rippled, and the sticky silk disappeared without a trace, just as if the dust on the hem of a garment had been gently wiped away.
