Zhao Letian did not leave for too long. After setting up the transmission array, he returned and continued patrolling with everyone.
On the first day, everyone was on high alert, but the Gray Wolf people did not attack.
On the second day, everyone relaxed a bit, sending only a few people out to patrol and stand guard, while the others found places to sit in meditation and cultivate.
Zhao Letian's team did the same; they only sent out two people to patrol in turns, while the others took the opportunity to cultivate.
In the abandoned mine tunnel, Zhao Letian first swallowed an elixir for advancing his cultivation, and then he held a Mid-Grade Essence Stone in each hand, beginning to cultivate the "Nine Layers Xuan Armor Technique."
This place was an Elemental Stone Mine with extremely rich Primordial Energy, comparable to War King City. Cultivating here proved doubly effective, and Zhao Letian's cultivation level, visibly to the naked eye, rapidly improved.
In the blink of an eye, three more days had passed, and during this period, the Gray Wolf people had not come.
By the fifth day, everyone's vigilance had become very weak, and they all speculated whether the Gray Wolf people would not come at all.
Meanwhile, Zhao Letian's cultivation had made great strides, advancing from the initial stage of the True Martial Third Realm to the minor achievement stage of the True Martial Third Realm.
It is worth mentioning that since producing the elixir for advancing cultivation, he had been nurturing the mutated Mantis. By now, the mutated Mantis's cultivation had also advanced to the True Martial Second Realm, its strength comparable to a human Martial Artist of the True Martial Third Realm, and it could even contend with a Martial Artist of the True Martial Fourth Realm.
As for the hundreds of ordinary Mantises, they were fed Demon Essence Pills by Zhao Letian, putting them into a deep-slumber state, and when they awoke, they could advance to the Martial Realm.
Additionally, Zhao Letian also shared some Demon Essence Pills and elixirs that could enhance the cultivation of demon beasts with Liu Wei and the Star Sea Five Tigers.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, Gray Wolf people are coming."
Suddenly, a series of urgent exclamations interrupted Zhao Letian's cultivation.
Zhao Letian suddenly opened his eyes, shouted deeply, and led everyone towards the source of the sound.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
When everyone came out, they heard a series of earth-shaking explosions from all directions, making everyone's heart tighten.
"Look, Gray Wolf people, they are everywhere; we are surrounded."
Soon, a large number of people from the Gray Wolf Kingdom emerged from all directions; some were riding wolves larger than horses, galloping across the plains, some stood atop giant eagles soaring in the sky, all of them clad in animal skins, with sturdy builds, wild appearances, and an air distinctly different from the people of Dajin Country, appearing very barbaric.
Especially noticeable were several Giant Stone Apes about three zhang tall in the Gray Wolf Kingdom's army, all possessing High-level True Martial Realm cultivation. With each step they took, the ground shook and they emitted a terrifying aura.
"Giant Stone Beasts?" Zhao Letian furrowed his brows. These Giant Stone Beasts, like Liu Wei's Spiritual Beast, were fully-grown, whereas Liu Wei's Spiritual Beast was not yet mature and couldn't compare in strength.
"We're done for, the Gray Wolf Kingdom has brought at least ten thousand men, while we only have a little over two thousand. How can we withstand them?"
"Indeed, within the Gray Wolf Kingdom, there are not only numerous High-level True Martial Realm experts, but also several High-level True Martial Realm Giant Stone Beasts; their top combat power is even more formidable than ours."
The crowd showed a look of panic on their faces, exclaiming in alarm.
"Do not panic, everyone stay calm. Although the Gray Wolf people are formidable, we have the Array Formation for protection. Without Sect Martial Realm experts taking action, they absolutely cannot breach the Array Formation Light Shield." The person in charge, who possessed the True Martial Ninth Realm cultivation, was also very nervous inside, but as the Commander, he could only forcibly reassure everyone. Otherwise, once their morale dispersed, their defeat would be certain.
"This Array Formation is indeed powerful, but it is extremely difficult to hold off the attacks of the Gray Wolf people." Zhao Letian looked up at the Array Formation Light Shield and frowned, thinking to himself.
Although the words of the person in charge could comfort those ordinary Martial Artists who didn't understand the Array, they could not deceive Zhao Letian. With his Array Formation Proficiency, although he could not yet set up an Array of this level, he could easily discern the specific power of this Array.
"All people of Dajin Country, listen up! Open the Array, get out of the mine, or there will be no mercy in killing."
After a while, the Gray Wolf people surrounded the mine. A Gray Wolf powerhouse standing on the back of a hawk looked down at the people on the mountain and coldly shouted.
"True Martial Ninth Realm? Hmph, Gray Wolf Barbarians, do not be rampant. Leave quickly, otherwise, I will ensure you won't return." The person in charge of Dajin Country looked up and stared at the Gray Wolf powerhouse on the hawk's back, snorting coldly.
"Stubborn fools, break the Array, kill them all."
The Gray Wolf powerhouse said indifferently.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!..."
The Gray Wolf people all roared to the sky, and then they attacked at the same time, sending wave after wave of knife gleams and Sword Qi, raining down fiercely on the Array Formation Light Shield like urgent droplets.
If one person acted alone, even someone from the High-level True Martial Realm would find it difficult to shake the Array Formation Light Shield on the mine, but with tens of thousands of Gray Wolf people attacking at the same time, the power was earth-shattering. One wave of attacks caused the Array Formation Light Shield to shake violently, causing the people of Dajin Country to turn pale with fear.
"Do not fear, the Array can still hold up. Pay attention to replacing the Primordial Stones in the array bases," the person in charge of Dajin Country commanded solemnly.
"Roar! Roar! Roar!..." The authentic version is on *.
Just then, those several Giant Stone Beasts all roared, pounding their chests and charging towards the Array Formation Light Shield.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
A series of huge dull sounds spread, the Array Formation Light Shield was deeply dented by the impact of those few Giant Stone Beasts, severely deformed, and looked like it could be broken through at any moment, causing the people of Dajin Country to be horrified and clutch their weapons tightly, preparing to fight the Gray Wolf people in a decisive battle.
"Aooo! Aooo! Aooo!..."
Just as everyone was unsettled, the giant wolves and hawks ridden by the Gray Wolf people also joined the attack, constantly striking the Array Formation Light Shield on the mine, causing it to flicker erratically, like a candle in the wind, seemingly about to extinguish at any moment.
"We can't keep being passive in our defense ; we absolutely can't let them break through the Array Formation Light Shield, otherwise, we'll all die. Send some strong fighters to strike first, to distract them and disrupt their attack." Xiao Feng suddenly suggested in a clear voice.
"Attack proactively? Hmph! Going out to die? If you want to go, you go; I certainly won't. This Array Formation Light Shield may seem very dangerous, but after all, it has held up until now. Staying within the Array is the best choice, I do not believe that the Gray Wolf people can truly break through this Array." The person in charge looked at Xiao Feng, scoffing disdainfully.
