Mortal Transformation into Immortal

Everyone was ready, so we began to take action.

"Let's choose this place."

The group arrived at a ravine.

This is a shallow ditch, and behind it is the stone wall of the insect burrow.

The insect burrow is only this big, making it the perfect place for an ambush, with a passage for entry and exit.

Only here, after the pig demon has exhausted its strength, can it possibly leave through the passage, giving Yu Ling the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

If it were flat ground, it would be difficult to get close.

"That's fine."

Everyone agreed.

"Let's begin then," Lin Lu said, looking at everyone.

"Let's begin."

Everyone looked solemn, after all, they were about to face such a terrifying monster.

The slightest mistake could mean death, or else you'd be trapped here for who knows how long.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, I beg you."

The four of them looked at him.

Yu Ling nodded slightly, then picked up her longsword and went out.

He covered himself in the mud and found a secluded spot to hide.

"It's our turn."

Seeing that Yu Ling was ready, the four of them exchanged glances and then simultaneously released waves of magical power.

A unique aura of cultivators appeared in the insect cave, as conspicuous as the bright moon in the night sky.

The next instant, the pig demon, which was foraging in the forest, suddenly raised its head and ran towards the direction from which the aura was coming.

The pig demon's entire body seemed to blend into its surroundings, running without making a sound, like a black wind in the forest.

"They're here."

Before long, Yu Ling saw a huge figure appear on a rock more than ten feet away.

Its eyes were fixed menacingly on the four figures in the ravine ahead.

It was that delicious "insect" again, and the pig demon's mouth watered.

Once a demon beast has tasted the flesh and blood of a cultivator, it will never forget that flavor.

"They're here!"

Everyone looked up at the black figure opposite them, their fists clenched, their hearts pounding, and their breathing becoming heavy.

The pig demon jumped into the ditch and went through the passage.

It pounced on the four people at an extremely fast speed.

"Snapped!"

But when it got close to within ten feet, a barrier suddenly appeared, blocking it from the outside.

"roar!"

The pig demon roared and rained punches down on the formation.

The powerful force was transmitted to the ground, causing the stones in the ravines to tremble.

Lin Lu held the array plate in his hand, looking at the pig demon across the array.

The immortal energy fluctuations within his body became increasingly intense.

The pig demon drooled with anticipation.

The red light in his eyes grew stronger.

"Fellow Daoist Lin, can you hold on?"

The beast was too powerful, and the other three looked worried.

They did not participate in activating the formation; they needed to save their magical power for later battle.

The formation is currently being activated by spirit stones.

"Yes, it won't break open in a short time."

Lin Lu's expression was very solemn. Every time the pig demon attacked the array, the array plate in his hand would tremble. It was already running at full power. If the array plate could withstand the pig demon's powerful attacks for too long, it would break.

Now is not the time for them to step in and share the burden.

"It seems I really can't sense Fellow Daoist Yu."

Seeing that the pig demon had not found Yu Ling, everyone's eyes became even more determined; they had already succeeded halfway.

"They've led them away."

Yu Ling breathed a sigh of relief. He was outside without any protective formation. If the pig demon sensed him, he might be the first to die.

The pig demon had already gone inside, and he quietly headed towards the entrance of the passage.

Next, we'll hide here and wait for the pig demon to leave before delivering the strongest blow.

The four stood in the center of the formation, drawing its attention.

The pig demon has no demonic essence, no demonic arts, and no intelligence. It only knows how to attack with its physical strength, but this pure power is the most powerful.

"Finally, I realize I'm tired."

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Lu put three spirit stones into the array plate. After so much time had passed, the pig demon's attacks began to slow down, and its strength was not as great as before.

Its strength is declining.

In the past fifteen minutes, more than thirty spirit stones have been burned to maintain the operation of the formation. The speed at which they were consumed made them somewhat panicked.

The formation withstood hundreds of attacks, and the surrounding ground was cracked from the shock.

Seeing that it couldn't get any food inside, the pig demon grew increasingly angry, roaring incessantly at the formation.

"It's probably not going to work."

Yu Ling stared inside, gripping his longsword tightly. He could sense from the tremors in the ground that the pig demon's strength was waning. Once it couldn't hold on any longer, it would definitely leave to find various poisonous insects to eat in order to recover its strength.

He was already prepared to launch a sneak attack.

This place is only a zhang away from the passage. As long as the pig demon passes by, it will be difficult to avoid a sneak attack given its high energy consumption.

The four people inside were also secretly preparing for battle.

"It has stopped."

After unleashing dozens more attacks, the pig demon stopped, clearly exhausted.

Just when everyone thought it was about to leave, the pig demon suddenly leaped onto the rock next to it and transformed into pig form.

Then he opened his mouth wide.

A strange pattern appeared on his body.

"What is it trying to do?"

"Is he about to unleash a sorcerous attack?"

This strange scene gave everyone a sudden bad feeling.

"The insect scent on my body is dissipating."

Yu Ling looked at her palm, and the insect energy within her body was being drawn outward by a mysterious force.

At the same time, all kinds of poisonous insects within a mile radius stopped moving, as if their bodies were being strangled, and struggled in place.

A wisp of energy emanated from them and drifted forward.

The pig demon inhaled deeply, and a rich insect scent drifted in from all directions, converging into its mouth.

Their momentum, which had initially waned, surged again.

My strength is recovering rapidly.

"It can even absorb insect energy from a distance to restore its strength!"

Upon seeing this, everyone's expression changed drastically!

This surprised everyone; they had never seen the pig demon use this move before.

"Looks like we're in trouble."

Yu Ling's expression was somewhat unpleasant. She quietly activated the spirituality within her bones to hold back the insect energy in her body. If the insect energy were absorbed, let alone a sneak attack, the pig demon would probably rush over immediately once it sensed it.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, the array plate probably won't last much longer. Quickly interrupt it and don't let it recover!" Song Yunkong shouted.

Yu Ling heard this, but did not take any action. The place was more than ten zhang away from the pig demon, and if they went there, the sneak attack would turn into a direct confrontation.

"We can only get closer now. I hope you can make it through this round."

The pig demon's ability disrupted the plan, and now was not the time to make a move. Yu Ling planned to get closer and wait until the pig demon had recovered its strength before attacking.

"It seems Fellow Daoist Yu is afraid." The old woman's expression turned ugly when she saw that Yu Ling had not taken any action.

They were inside the formation, and to stop them, the formation would have to be dismantled first, but the pig demon was right in front of them, so they dared not dismantle the formation at all.

"Fellow Daoist Yu is probably waiting for the pig demon to recover next time. Fellow Daoists, get ready to use your magic to activate the array. No matter what, we must get through this round," Lin Lu said solemnly.

"This is the only way."

Everyone held the pills that restored their magical power in their hands.

There's no turning back now.
