Immortality Cultivation: I Farm in the System Space

Not long after. Under the constant attacks of the Demonic Beasts, the formation's light screen dimmed, and the range of the entire Formation began to slowly shrink. Clearly, this was due to the Spirit Stones embedded in the Array Plate about to exhaust their Spiritual Power. The relentless attacks of the Demonic Beasts meant that the Formation, which could have lasted an hour, endured for less than a quarter of an hour before its Spiritual Power was depleted. Seeing this, the Demonic Beasts outside became even more frenzied, attacking the Formation with red eyes. At this moment, one Demonic Beast that resembled a yak retreated a distance, standing in the distance with bloodshot eyes and continuously pawing at the ground; it seemed to be charging up for a powerful rush. Given the current strength of the Formation, if it really were to charge over, there was a real possibility that the Formation would be breached. "Moo..." The yak-like Demonic Beast cried out to the sky, and with a rumbling charge, it dashed forward. Seeing this, the other Demonic Beasts quickly moved aside, clearing a path for it. At this time, the Black Kite also took to the sky, preparing to launch an attack once the Formation was broken. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Jing quickly replaced the Spirit Stones in his hand with five prepared Midium Grade Spirit Stones. No sooner had the Spirit Stones been replaced than the light screen of the Formation instantly brightened, followed by a sudden expansion outwards, and at that moment the yak-like Demonic Beast charged into it. "Bang" A loud noise echoed, shaking the entire ground. After the collision, ripples merely spread across the light screen of the Formation; there was no sign of any breakage. Looking at the yak-like Demonic Beast again, after the collision, it was lying on the ground with eyes rolled back, completely still. The Black Kite, which had just flown high, prepared to dive down but, upon seeing the state of the yak-like Demonic Beast, it urgently tried to stop its plummet. However, the speed of the Black Kite was too fast; it could not halt in time, and just like the yak-like Demonic Beast, it collided with the light screen. It was then ricocheted far away by the light screen, landing on the ground without moving. Seeing this, the surrounding Demonic Beasts were stunned for a moment, before scattering in all directions. Suddenly, the area became eerily quiet; not a single Demonic Beast was in sight, and the crisis was temporarily averted. Yan Xiong, looking at the two Demonic Beasts lying motionless, unsure if they were dead or alive, his eyes gleaming, urged: "Brother Lin!" "Quick!" "Open up the Formation, take advantage of the moment those two Demonic Beasts can't move, and I'll go finish them off with one slash." "Those two Demonic Beasts are full of treasures; we could make a good profit from them." As he spoke, he pulled out a Magical Treasure Greatsword from his Storage Bag and rubbed his hands together, eager to get going. Lin Jing quickly spoke up, cautioning: "Old Yan, be careful, don't act rashly." "Haven't you noticed something off about these Demonic Beasts?" "Off?" Yan Xiong scratched his head, looking puzzled as he turned to Lin Jing: "What's off about them?" "Brother Lin, have you noticed something?" Ning Yue joined in to explain at this point: "These Demonic Beasts, they don't seem as mindless as wild beasts; be wary of a ruse." "Miss Ning isn't joking, right? These are just low-level Demonic Beasts. Isn't it said that only high-level Demonic Beasts can possess intelligence?" "If even these low-level Demonic Beasts all have intelligence, wouldn't that be a bit too exaggerated?" Yan Xiong spoke these words, but still heeded the advice of the two, not attempting to advance any further, instead staring intently at the two unconscious Demonic Beasts. Although Yan Xiong had been persuaded to hold back, this place was not only tempting to him. When the Demonic Beasts first arrived, some people had not fled far and had hidden nearby, and since Lin Jing and the others' Formation was in place, the Demonic Beasts were all attracted over, by contrast, others were much safer. And it turns out... they had gambled correctly. Upon seeing that their attack formation was futile, the Demonic Beasts left directly, pursuing other fleeing individuals. They didn't search the vicinity any longer. Just as Yan Xiong finished speaking, several people emerged from their hiding spots, tiptoeing slowly towards the two Demonic Beasts that appeared to be unconscious. Others were bolder; as soon as they leaped out of hiding, they recklessly dashed towards the Demonic Beasts lying on the ground, hoping to capture them first. Seeing this, everyone else became restless, accelerating their movements towards the Demonic Beasts. They started to manipulate various Magical Treasures and Flying Swords, stabbing at the Demonic Beasts. However... An unexpected change occurred. The Black Kite, which had been lying motionless on the ground, suddenly vanished, followed by several screams. The Cultivators who had just charged at it immediately collapsed. Yan Xiong, who was hiding within the formation, was now drenched in cold sweat from fear. He hadn't expected the Black Kite to feign death. A few Cultivators who were slightly farther away felt their scalps tingle when they saw what happened, and they quickly turned to flee. However, how could their speed possibly compare to the Black Kite? In no more than an hour, those who had just sprung into action were now dead, totally clean. After killing these people, the Black Kite seemingly wasn't satisfied and continued to charge at them, but this time it didn't collide with the Defensive Array. Instead, it headed straight for the unconscious yak-like Demonic Beast and drilled into its head through the eyes. "Moo..." The pain jolted the yak-like Demonic Beast awake, but it was too late; after struggling a couple of times, it collapsed to the ground with a "boom", motionless. In a short while, the Black Kite emerged again, holding a Demonic Beast Inner Core in its beak. The Black Kite swallowed the inner core in one gulp. "Screech... screech..." It seemed ecstatic, letting out two sharp cries before vanishing in a flash of black light. Yan Xiong was stupefied: "This Black Kite has become a wraith..." Only after the Black Kite had left did the area finally settle down. Still, even then, Lin Jing didn't dare to withdraw the formation; who knows if there were still dangers lurking nearby? Not long after the Black Kite departed, surprisingly, a group of people flew overhead, one couldn't help but marvel at their luck. These individuals, upon spotting Lin Jing's Defensive Array, headed straight towards their location. The group landed and walked over. "Fellow Daoist, please open the formation and allow us to seek sanctuary for a while," said the Red-Robed Cultivator at the forefront, smiling as he spoke. "Please find another place; there's no room for so many people here," Lin Jing replied without hesitation, directly rejecting the request. Upon hearing Lin Jing's rejection, the group was immediately displeased. "Fellow Daoist, that's not very nice of you. There's so much space inside; why can't we come in for a bit of shelter?" "We're all fellow cultivators; what's wrong with allowing us to seek shelter?" "Exactly!" "Fellow Daoist, one shouldn't be too selfish in life..." After the group spoke, they saw that Lin Jing remained unmoved. The Red-Robed Cultivator added another sentence. "Fellow Daoist, how about this: you let us in, and we'll compensate you. How does that sound?" But still, Lin Jing remained unmoved. "Please go elsewhere; this place is too small to accommodate you all." As he said these words, Lin Jing's tone was already less than friendly.
