"Stop wasting words on this beast, kill it, and we can make our escape."
Li Zhibin wiped his sword, and a flash of sword light shot out, turning as it flew towards the Yellow Fox Demon King amid the beasts.
The latter sneered like a human, a yellow shadow flickering, deftly weaving between two wild dogs, avoiding the sword light.
The flying sword killed several demons but failed to lock onto the Yellow Fox Demon King, instead getting hit by a puff of smoke, returning with a foul stench, making Li Zhibin's face darken with anger.
In a fit of rage, he fiercely pointed at the flying sword, expending more mana to slay the stink-spraying weasel, angrily saying, "Yellow-skinned fox, you better not let me catch you!"
"Don't rush, it's deliberately provoking you," Silver Moon reminded.
Shen Wang saw it too; this fox truly was a fox. Though it hadn't transformed into human form, it was exceptionally cunning.
The other side did it on purpose to deplete their mana, dragging them down with swarms of beasts.
This level of intelligence didn't seem typical for a demon beast; the opponent was no simple creature.
"I knew it was provoking me, just couldn't hold back."
Li Zhibin cursed, "If it were one-on-one, I'd have already slain it."
"Hehehe."
The Yellow Fox Demon King let out a triumphant laugh, emerging from the other side, "You humans always think too highly of yourselves; even if you face me alone, who knows who will live or die."
It grinned, "Let me see how much mana you really have."
Just then, with swift movements, more demon beasts rushed over.
The recently killed beasts were being replenished at a fast pace.
Shen Wang frowned, "Are there really so many demon beasts?"
He had encountered many demon beasts inside the cave mansion and thought most should still be inside, surprised to find so many outside too.
"The entire Desolate Mountain Range spans over a hundred thousand miles, naturally home to many demon beasts."
Silver Moon wasn't surprised, "Previously, we encountered beasts from within ten thousand miles; now as the news spreads, beasts from even further are coming. The longer we're dragged, the more beasts we face."
Shen Wang felt a heavy weight in his heart; by this reasoning, the number of beasts he'd encountered might be less than half of those in the whole mountain range.
If this continued, once the demon beast numbers hit critical mass, it would be dangerous for them.
He looked at the hundreds of beasts nearby, using sensing divine techniques, and found more beasts constantly converging as if something were calling them.
It must be some communication method between demon beasts that he, as a human, wasn't aware of.
"Looks like we need to find a way to leave quickly then."
Shen Wang changed his previous low-profile plan, initially wanting to wait for others to gather, then follow the main group out, but now it seemed uncertain they would even meet.
"We've been thinking of a way, just can't shake these guys off."
Silver Moon sighed, "These beasts are very fast, have keen senses, and possess special techniques to track us, hard to shake them off. Only by killing their leader can we get a chance."
Speaking of this, Silver Moon asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
She knew some of his abilities were not just in direct combat but also in other aspects, which might help them out of the predicament.
"I do have some ideas, but they require everyone's cooperation."
Shen Wang looked at the other three people. To kill a cunning demon king amidst so many demon beasts, they had to resort to unconventional tactics.
"You can share your ideas."
Silver Moon said.
Shen Wang began transmitting sound, discussing with the others while continuing the battle.
"Are Lingxi Sect friends skilled in Ice Magic?"
Shen Wang first glanced at one of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators present, a young man in a blue robe with long hair, looking very dashing.
"Yes, I cultivate Ice Divine Techniques."
Shen Wang nodded and looked at the other person, "Pill Alliance friend must be adept in Fire Magic."
The latter was struggling against the beasts' attacks and took time to respond, "I don't have many skills, just play with fire."
"Soon, I'll need you two to direct your magic at each other, not separately."
Shen Wang said something odd and then explained, "I hope your magic with opposite attributes will create a lot of mist, thereby affecting these beasts' vision, so we can muddle through."
Water and fire are incompatible; if combined, they either explode or generate mist, sometimes both happen simultaneously.
His first step was to use the mist created by the incompatibility of water and fire to envelop their surroundings, affecting the beasts' vision and giving them a chance to act.
"Your idea is just to create mist? It won't affect them much, right?"
Silver Moon was dissatisfied, "Ordinary mist has no effect; we all have divine thoughts, unaffected at all."
"Indeed, it won't affect us much, but these beasts don't have strong spiritual power, rely largely on their eyes; using mist to block their vision makes our actions much easier."
Shen Wang slashed several beasts apart while explaining.
"Limited impact on the Great Demon and that Demon King, right?"
Li Zhibin shook his head, "Your plan is too clumsy; you even need two people to collide magics, why not just use Water Mist Technique?"
"The Water Mist Technique you mentioned is too slow to cast, the opponent can totally prepare."
Shen Wang shook his head; the Water Mist Technique is actually a basic magic, rather lackluster.
Basically, it's used in warfare to obscure vision a bit. After all, cultivators have spiritual thoughts to probe, not easily affected by ordinary mist.
