When they regrouped, they found the old Daoist priest was also present.
Bai Nianchen hadn't had a smooth few days either. He always liked to provoke powerful demonic beasts.
Not every demonic beast cared as much about its territory as the Ghost-faced Fire Monkey. When encountering those with fiery tempers, they'd abandon their lairs and chase him with all their might.
Consequently, Daoist Bai now looked even more disheveled than he had three days prior.
However, perhaps to maintain his image, he still exuded an air of aloofness and ancient wisdom.
"Oh! Daoist Bai, you're here too?"
Bai Nianchen coughed twice, shook hands with Luo Xiaowei, and said, "Wuliang Tianzun, seeing that young friend Luo is still safe and sound, this humble one is relieved!"
As Luo Xiaowei neared Bai Nianchen, he could feel a faint, elusive Daoist aura enveloping him.
Luo Xiaowei couldn't help but inwardly marvel, "As expected of a congenital Dao body!"
Meng Zibin explained, "On our own, we wouldn't be able to take down that nest of Frost Moths. With Daoist Bai's combat strength, we'll have a much higher chance."
"Then why didn't you let me call Li Qingyun?"
Meng Zibin sneered, "Do you think with his strength, if he joined us, we would still get anything out of this?"
If it were a distribution based on labor, Li Qingyun alone would claim seventy percent, rendering this group effort pointless.
Luo Xiaowei scratched his head, "Ah, I just thought if we had a healer, we wouldn't have to worry about getting injured and losing combat effectiveness."
"That's quite good, but if this healer is too strong, it wouldn't be ideal."
"Ahem... Let's analyze tomorrow's combat plan!"
"..."
Although the Demonic Spirit Realm was small, it possessed all the necessary environments.
There were forests, deserts, snow-capped mountains, and volcanoes, primarily to maintain the biodiversity of demonic beasts.
The area where Meng Zibin and his companions had been fighting for days was near the snow mountains. The demonic beasts in this vicinity were becoming increasingly scarce, with the powerful ones gathered at higher altitudes.
The wind howled, and snow swirled.
That nest of Frost Moths grew at the summit of a subsidiary peak.
The Frost Moth was a moth as large as a person, its entire body ice-blue, with beautiful wings that, when fluttered, resembled lovely ice and snow sprites.
However, they were also cruel demonic beasts. They used their sharp mouthparts to drain their prey into desiccated corpses.
They could release powders that confused the mind, like beautiful demons.
The next morning, the five of them arrived at the location of the Frost Moth nest.
Meng Zibin pointed to the dreamlike Frost Moths by the cliff edge and whispered, "See them? That swarm of Frost Moths. The largest five are fifth-tier. Those mysterious snow lotuses must be some sort of rare celestial treasures."
Upon seeing the snow lotuses, Qin Xiaoxiao's pupils constricted, "This..."
Her body felt a trace of yearning towards those mysterious snow lotuses.
"What's wrong?" Luo Xiaowei asked, noticing Qin Xiaoxiao's unusual expression.
Qin Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "N-nothing."
Meng Zibin continued, "After Daoist Bai charges in, he'll use the Yin-Yang Reversal Array to swap out a Frost Moth. We'll all focus our attacks to instantly kill it. Then, Daoist Bai and we will swap again to relieve him."
Bai Nianchen gazed at the swarm of Frost Moths ahead with a solemn expression, saying earnestly, "These Frost Moths are a bit troublesome. You must focus your attacks quickly. Don't think of this humble one as too powerful!"
Luo Xiaowei patted Daoist Bai's shoulder, "You can rest a thousand percent assured! But just one will be enough to transfer over, alright? Two would be impolite!"
With that, Bai Nianchen squatted down and extended his finger, gathering the Yin and Yang energies of heaven and earth.
The Frost Moths immediately sensed the abnormality of the surrounding spiritual energy and flapped their wings. Their primary target, however, was to protect those mysterious snow lotuses.
Instantly, black and white colors covered the snowfield beneath their feet.
As the white array eye rotated beneath Bai Nianchen's feet, the ethereal Daoist Bai momentarily lost his composure, his voice tinged with panic, "Wuliang Tianzun! Don't let me be besieged for too long!"
Everyone held their breath, channeling their spiritual power.
"Whoosh—"
With a flash of light, the swarm of Frost Moths was greatly alarmed, emitting sounds like the wails of female ghosts.
Then, Bai Nianchen, clad in a tattered Daoist robe, and a third-tier Frost Moth directly swapped positions.
"Ying?"
The Frost Moth was a little dazed, its sudden teleportation leaving it confused.
Immediately after, it let out a terrified cry, "Ya! Yaya!!"
The few humans, without a word, unleashed a barrage of skills upon it!
Fire, electricity, poison, ice – a dazzling display of elemental attacks was unleashed.
Meng Zibin raised a small red sun and hurled it fiercely at the Frost Moth, "Setting Sun!"
Chen Xiaohan's pupils turned purple, and she exhaled a puff of poisonous mist at the Frost Moth, "Corrosive Bone Poison!"
Luo Xiaowei's eyes were sharp as swords. He extended his hand, and streaks of dazzling lightning transformed into sharp blades, "Damn it! Let's pierce you full of holes!"
Qin Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, holding a hammer condensed from ice, and smashed it down on the Frost Moth!
"Die!"
Amidst a violent roar, the Frost Moth, which had been teleported over, was directly smashed to death by the dense onslaught of skills before it could even unleash its own!
Meanwhile, our Daoist Bai, venturing alone into the enemy camp, was frantically dodging attacks!
He was being besieged by over twenty moths, each like a siren, constantly spewing powders that disoriented his mind.
However, this Yin-Yang Reversal Array also left the Frost Moths disoriented, their attacks mostly missing.
Daoist Bai spotted a third-tier Frost Moth, carrying a chilling cold, and at an unguarded moment, it lunged at him with its icy mouthpart!
Daoist Bai's scalp tingled, "Wuliang, damn it, Tianzun!"
Just then, he heard Luo Xiaowei's roar, "Daoist Bai, quick transfer!"
At the last critical moment, Bai Nianchen twisted the formation, causing the Frost Moth to miss.
He and Luo Xiaowei instantly exchanged positions!
"..."
The audience outside also cried out in surprise. After so many days of trials, they were finally seeing a team battle!
"Oh, the invincible Daoist Bai! He's bringing so much glory to Longhu Mountain!"
"Ah, Ah Wei, put in more effort! Grab the damage! Give us iwei some face!"
"Spread out, spread out! Argh, I'm dying of anxiety!"
"Last time she used an ice cream cone, and now she's using a hammer. Perhaps this is growth."
