Taoist cultivation begins with being a miner

"I have a feeling this isn't simple. There might be other ambushes ahead. Everyone, stay alert," Yueye Rouzi warned the demons loudly as she cleared the way.

"understood."

……

After flying for about fifteen minutes, an iceberg suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking their way.

Seeing this, Yueye Rouzi dared not approach easily and could only change direction.

But not long after, another small iceberg blocked their way.

"Playing tricks." This time, Yueye Rouzi did not back down and slashed with her sword.

"Boom!"

The iceberg broke open, and countless ice blocks scattered and flew everywhere.

"The only ones capable of forming such a large iceberg are probably the Cang Demon Clan, a vassal of the Swamp Demon Clan," Yueye Rouzi said coldly, flicking her sword.

"Hahaha~ Since you're here, then stay." The iceberg was broken, and a voice came from underground. Then, more than a hundred demons appeared from underground.

It was humanoid, grayish-white all over, but extremely thin, practically skin and bones, with a thin tail behind it.

"Legend has it that the Demon Clan can quickly freeze water into ice and use it for attacks, so everyone be careful," Yueye Nian Nian loudly reminded.

Oh, this ability, it's like a low-end version of Frost Demon.

"Attack!" With this command, the demons began their attack.

Countless ice spikes shot into the sky, resembling an evolved ice spike rune.

It densely covered all the demons in the sky.

One used short spikes, the other used ice spikes; both were ranged attacks, leaving Lu Yan speechless.

However, we still need to defend with all our might.

In order to reduce casualties among their own demons, the nine demon generals took the lead and charged down to engage in fierce battle with the enemy.

Lu Yan also stayed by Yueye's side at all times to protect her.

A quarter of an hour later, the Demon King was driven away, and the Moonlit Demon Clan lost more than a hundred demons.

Now only a little over five hundred remain.

More importantly, after two battles, the nine demon generals were severely depleted of their magic power, especially Yueye Rouzi, whose divine soul power was almost exhausted.

Her soul attack can only be used one or two more times at most.

At this moment, Lu Yan also understood the Swamp Demon Clan's plan: to use a war of attrition to ambush, wear down, and harass Yuan Shao, just like when Prime Minister Cao ambushed him from all sides.

It seems there are intelligent demons among them.

Thinking about this made Lu Yan even more uneasy.

As expected, the demons were ambushed twice more, leaving less than three hundred demons in the group, and all of them were injured.

Although the nine demon generals are temporarily unharmed, they are severely depleted and can no longer fight for an extended period.

"Stop everything!" After flying for less than 15 minutes, Yueye Rouzi ordered the team to stop.

"What's wrong?"

"Look at your feet," a demon said, pointing downwards.

"This is a swamp!"

"The swamp, does that mean the swamp demons are here too?"

The appearance of the swamp immediately terrified the demons.

"Fly east." After a moment's thought, Yueye Rouzi ordered the team to fly east.

"The Moonlit Clan, we've been waiting for you for a long time. What, you don't want to meet me?" Before the demons could even move, a booming voice resounded through the sky.

The oppressive power contained in the voice was so overwhelming that dozens of demons, already severely injured, could no longer withstand it and fainted, falling from the sky.

The consequence of falling in is being swallowed by the swamp, leaving nothing but one or two floating bubbles.

"Ni Shan Zhuo! It's you!" Upon hearing this voice, Yue Ye Rou Zi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Ni Shan Zhuo! Isn't that the seventh-level demon general of the Swamp Demon Clan? What's he doing here?" This Ni Shan Zhuo was quite famous, and his appearance made the demons even more terrified.

Level 7 Demon General!

Lu Yan was also very shocked after learning about the other party's cultivation level.

Yueye Rouzi's cultivation level is a fourth-level demon general, which means that in the cultivation world, a cultivator has just entered the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.

After several battles, his strength has been greatly reduced, and he can only exert the strength of the early stage of Golden Core at most.

This salamander has the cultivation of a seventh-level demon general, similar to the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

Moreover, he was well-rested and ready to fight at his peak.

The outcome of this battle was essentially a foregone conclusion.

Now we can only pin our hopes on reinforcements, otherwise we definitely won't make it through.

As the demons discussed this, the swamp demons beneath the swamp began to appear.

It is humanoid, with six eyes, a bluish-yellow body, and bone spurs extending from the backs of its hands and elbows, as well as bone spurs on its tail, resembling a war machine.

They number around two hundred, but there are five Demon Generals and the rest are all Demon Generals.

"You swamp demon, how dare you ambush my Moonlit Night Clan? Are you trying to start a war?" Moonlit Night Soft Purple shouted at the Swamp Demon Clan.

"Haha~ Moonlit Rouzi, don't say such harsh things. What war or not war? I just want to invite the two ladies back to Wanzhao City, and by the way, I also want you all to die." Ni Shan Zhuo soared into the air, facing Moonlit Rouzi.

His words were full of arrogance and confidence, showing no regard for the demons whatsoever.

"You know so much about our movements, it seems that other demons have defected to you. But it's impossible for us sisters to go back with you, so give up on that idea." Yueye Niannian stepped forward with her gun and said resolutely to Nishan Zhuo.

"Haha~ Second Miss, you have no choice at this point. Once we return to Wanzhao City and become the woman of my clan's young patriarch, we will be one family. What swamp demon clan or moonlit demon clan? From now on, we will be one clan." Ni Shan Zhuo didn't care at all about Yue Ye Niannian's words.

"Pah! You ugly freaks! I'd rather marry Lu Liu than go to your place!" Yueye Tiantian said fearlessly.

Lu Yan: ...

"I'm fucking" has become a derogatory term.

"Enough with the nonsense, everyone get ready!" Ni Shan Zhuo didn't want to waste time arguing and directly ordered his men to attack.

All the demon generals gathered together and simultaneously mobilized their magic power, creating a gigantic earth giant that rose from the ground, looking down at the demons with imposing grandeur.

The Demon Generals were also eager to try their luck.

"How can we possibly win this battle?" Faced with this situation, the demons were filled with despair.

Being in the perilous Three-Part Mountain, and injured, even if he escaped the Swamp Demon Clan's attack, he probably had no hope of getting out.

Lu Yan was also prepared. At worst, he could use the third-tier talisman and the items he had obtained in a crisis. Even if he couldn't defeat the Swamp Demon Clan, he would still help Yueye Niannian and Yueye Tiantian escape.

At this moment, Lu Yan also felt his own weakness. In front of the Demon Commander, the trump cards he had accumulated were still not enough.

"Hmm? Even in this situation, do they have any other preparations?" Seeing huge bubbles rising from the bottom of the swamp again, there must be some big guys that haven't appeared yet.

If I was originally thinking of giving it my all, now I don't even have the will to fight anymore.

Seeing this, Lu Yan grabbed Yueye Tiantian's hand and stood behind Yueye Niannian, ready to run away at any moment.
