Outside the city wall, though there are many toxins, there comes a time when their toxicity is depleted and they need time to regenerate, ranging from a day to several months.

At this moment, Devilish Vines on the periphery have already entwined with Demonic Beasts, sensing the scent of flesh, the Devilish Vines rapidly grow, reaching out towards the nearest Demon Clan.

However, the speed at which Devilish Vines grow and entangle cannot keep up with the number of Demonic Beasts.

Simultaneously, countless Poisonous Bees fly out from the poison flower bushes, attacking the Demonic Beasts that invade their territory. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵

These Poisonous Bees possess formidable individual strength; except for a few newly born ones, the rest are at least second tier or above, with no shortage of third tier Poisonous Bees.

When Wang Hong killed that fifth tier Demonic Beast last time, it was an expert in using poison. Its flesh and demon core contained potent toxins.

He used these toxic substances and the bloodline of this demon to breed Poisonous Bees, enhancing both their cultivation level and toxicity by a tier.

It can be said that these Poisonous Bees are one of the strongest trump cards among these three defensive lines.

These fallen Demonic Beasts are soon trampled into oblivion by the stampede of beasts behind them.

On one side of the city wall, Luo Zhongjie looks at the rapidly advancing Beast Tide in the distance and loudly commands, "The Beast Tide is too fierce, prepare to attack."

Now the outskirts of the coastline are crowded with various Demonic Beasts. Their vast numerical advantage has already paralyzed many nearby toxins.

Many poison flower bushes have been trampled, with layers of corpses on them, allowing the following beasts to tread on these bodies and advance.

These poison flower bushes can only serve as auxiliary and cannot be fully relied upon.

Upon hearing Luo Zhongjie's command, countless giant crossbows are raised on the city wall.

Now there is still a distance of about five miles between the city wall and the Beast Tide on the coastline. Except for Nascent Soul Cultivators, no one can attack from such a distance with a magic weapon.

However, the effective attack range of these giant crossbows can reach five miles.

These giant crossbows were initially designed by the Ministry of Works for dealing with high tier Cultivators.

Later, they were installed on the city wall for defense. Because in defensive battles, it is not always necessary to deal with high tier Demonic Beasts; often the probability of dealing with mid to low tier Demonic Beasts is higher.

Therefore, the Ministry of Works took some time to improve these giant crossbows and designed another mode of attack.

That is, firing hundreds of arrows at once for widespread attacks.

At this moment, beside each giant crossbow, someone is holding a large bundle of arrows and installing them on the giant crossbow.

With the commanding officer's loud shout, these giant crossbows simultaneously emit a burst of light, and then the large bundle of arrows flies out.

When this large bundle of arrows reaches above the Beast Tide, it suddenly explodes, and countless tiny arrows fly towards the groups of Demonic Beasts in all directions.

These arrows are smaller than ordinary arrows, short and thin, yet they appear powerful.

Due to the dense crowd of beasts, over a hundred Demonic Beasts are immediately shot by the arrows into their bodies.

And this is just the power of one giant crossbow; countless giant crossbows on the city wall have now begun to fire downwards.

Suddenly, the Demonic Beasts in front of the Beast Tide fall like wheat under the wind, forming a large area of carnage.

However, the giant crossbows on the city wall continue to fire continuously, toppling one group of Beast Tide after another, yet they still attempt to advance.

A few of the escaping Demonic Beasts dodge the arrows' attack only to perish in the toxins ahead.

Various toxins outside the city, combined with the firing of giant crossbows on the city wall, have prevented the Demon Clan from advancing even after attacking for a day and a night.

At this point, frustrated by their unsuccessful attack, the Demon Clan finally retreats.

The first wave of Beast Tide's attack has been successfully repelled by them.

However, this was just a probing attack from the Demon Clan; high-tier members of the clan have not appeared, and those slain were merely low-tier cannon fodder.

On the city wall, Feng Ai, who has come to assist in the battle, looks at the neatly arranged giant crossbows with envy in her eyes. She nudges Wang Yi's side.

"Next time, ask your brother if he can get Taihao Sect to buy dozens of these giants for us."

"No, if it were possible to buy, Qizhou Island would have put them up for sale long ago. I can't break that precedent," Wang Yi firmly objects. If he were to ask, he could undoubtedly acquire them, but he cannot make unreasonable requests based on his connections.

Seeing Wang Yi's resolute stance, Feng Ai becomes somewhat anxious.

"You're so stubborn. I'm not asking for myself. If we had dozens of these giant crossbows during the last Redeye Bandit attack, we wouldn't have lost so many people."

Although she doesn't say it aloud, she is not only advocating for herself but also for Wang Yi. Buying such powerful weapons in bulk for the sect would undoubtedly enhance Wang Yi's prestige within Taihao Sect, preparing him fully to take over the sect in the future.

"Then I'll ask next time. But if they're not for sale, I won't insist," Wang Yi concedes.

At this moment, the battle temporarily ends, and Luo Zhongjie arranges for a group of people to go to the coastline to collect spoils of war.

These cultivators collecting the spoils have each ingested a Detoxification Pill and carry a sachet with them.

With these preparations, they dare to enter the area filled with toxins. After all, these toxins do not discriminate; as long as there is a living creature nearby, it becomes their target.

As they approach, perhaps the sachets prove their effectiveness, as everything proceeds normally without any attacks.

The group quickly collects the bodies on the ground into their Storage Bags, leaving the specifics for later handling.

What they need to do now is to swiftly clean up the battlefield and leave. The Demon Clan could return at any moment.

After collecting the bodies, they pick up the arrows that fell on the ground. These arrows can be taken back and reused after refinement, saving a lot of manpower and resources.

Then they prop up some of the poisonous plants trampled by the Demon Clan, replanting the dead ones. They must maintain as much as possible, not knowing how long the battle will continue.

Since these bodies are all poisoned to varying degrees, they cannot be eaten when brought back. However, they can be thrown to the demon-hunting tree, which will yield a considerable amount of prey and seeds for Refinement Essence Core Pills.

Anyway, once they engage in battle with the Demon Clan, as long as they do not fail in the end, the profits will be enormous.

After the Demon Clan retreats this time, another day passes before they launch another attack on Qizhou Island.

This time, the Demon Clan mobilizes a large number of flying Demonic Beasts, so many that they obscure the sky, casting a dark shadow over the area.

However, as soon as these flying Demonic Beasts reach Qizhou Island, they start falling like dumplings.

The airspace prohibition formation on Qizhou Island activates only after these Demonic Beasts fly a certain distance, promptly grounding them all.
