The hounds' attacks became organized. The water hounds rearranged their tactics according to Yang Zhai's orders.
They slowly kept on increasing in numbers, and soon, a war between two arms broke out.
Instead of focusing on all sides, his primary attention was directed toward a single direction. For the other directions, he had the hounds defend them. These hounds would bite and retreat swiftly, allowing the ones with full energy to take over.
As for the direction he focused his attack on, he made the hounds at the front go wild. After that, two to three hounds would drag the vulpias to their side and kill them. Not stopping there, he had the Shadow Leopard leap into the middle of the vulpias, disrupting their formation and throwing them into chaos.
He only had the middle to work with. But, he was still overpowering them. Nobody was leading the vulpias,
"An army without a leader is like a snake without a head, writhing aimlessly until it perishes," Yang Zhai muttered nonchalantly.
The gorillas were left to the cultivators.
I can't waste my hounds on them, now can I? Let them handle the gorillas while I deal with the vulpias: he mused.
"Impressive, he is handling them skillfully. I am impressed that he is such a master at this age!" Han Wen remarked in surprise.
He didn't expect Yang Zhai to be this talented.
"He must have worked hard from a very young age," Yue Qing replied.
She wasn't fighting, nor was Han Wen. Both of them were being defended by Xiu Lan and a few other cultivators.
"I am impressed that he had a rank 5 Water Hound under his control. It's quite difficult to even enslave a beast of the same rank, not to mention a higher rank. How did he even do that?" Xiu Lan was astonished as well.
She had already defeated the gorilla she was fighting, with the help of a few cultivators.
Yang was being defended by the rank 4 hounds as well as the rank 5 water hound. As long as he was alive, there was no stopping this large army.
The circle kept on increasing. The hounds collected the corpses scattered on the ground inside the inheritance gate, while more continued to emerge. They ceased to come out after around fifteen thousand had exited the gate.
"This much should do,"
And the battle continued. Yang Zhai retreated to the middle. He also shamelessly ordered the hounds to drag the corpses of the gorillas.
"They would be useful for the Corpse Collector. Their strength is no joke and will come in handy…" Yang Zhai considered it after looking at a gorilla.
He was going to use these corpses to fight for him with the help of the Corpse Collector.
Just like that, his collection increased.
In rank 4, nobody was capable of defeating him now. He had the strength of gorillas as well as the number of hounds.
As long as he kept them inside the Corpse Collector, they wouldn't rot and could be used anytime.
The cultivators stood and just started as Yang Zhai did the work. Even he just stood and ordered the hounds.
"Did he have this many hounds? They should be around at least fifteen thousand!" Wu Zhu said with shock.
"How can he control such a big number of hounds? It would take at least decades of hard work to be able to control such a huge number." Wu Zhi was also surprised by Yang Zhai.
"Even if he is controlling a rank 5 Water Hound, a person needs very strong mental strength to be able to handle a beast, think of other things as well as order a huge army. Not to mention the complex tactics that he is using right now." Xiu Lan spoke.
"Even if Mastery Path cultivators do enslave a beast leader of an army, they would mostly abandon the army because of the mental pressure as the beast leader itself would be controlling such a huge army. Its thoughts would be too pressuring and chaotic."
"On top of that, he is controlling all of these beasts by himself. He is ordering every one of them skillfully. If you ask me, he is a talent unheard of in the Mastery Path." Wu Zhu said with jealousy.
"He is distributing his thoughts into different things: he is ordering these beasts to do separate things, as well as make different tactics," Hae Jin said.
The Mastery Path wasn't as simple as it seemed. It was like a complex web with every line holding an ocean behind it.
He wasn't just attacking and defending, but also making these hounds drag the corpses back to the inheritance place. He was doing these simultaneously. Then also look at what the situation was and adapt to these situations accordingly by devising new strategies.
In the evening, the sky was red. The sun had almost set. In the sky was peace, on the ground was also peace. It was also red with blood.
Everywhere was blood. No corpse on the ground, only blood. Yang Zhai stored the corpses.
I lost around five thousand hounds excluding the injured ones. This blood will attract more beasts, we need to move out of here: Yang Zhai reflected and said,
"I think we should leave before more beasts come here. The stench of blood is too strong here,"
"You are right, we need to leave. Everyone, prepare to leave. We need to move fast. Also, use something to cover the smell of blood on your clothes and bodies." Hae Jin nodded and ordered.
He also understood the urgency of the situation.
Tzu Yu has eliminated every beast in the surroundings, so we are safe for now, but not for long: Elder Jin considered.
They prepared and left this area.
This time, Yang Zhai was sitting on his shiq. On his left was the Shadow Leopard and on his right was the Water Hound.
He still needed this qafila. If he went alone, he might get surrounded and die without having the time to summon the inheritance gate.
If he went with the army, he would definitely get into several wars and lose a lot of hounds for no reason.
"Hey, Tzu Yu, why didn't you tell us that you had a rank 5 beast under your control?" Hae Jin asked.
"Because you didn't ask,*
Hae Jin's eyes twitched. What kind of answer was that? If he didn't want to answer, he should have just said no.
"How did you even enslave it? In fact, forget about that, how did you even enslave a rank 5 Mastery Path Ka?" Wu Zhu asked.
"I didn't do anything. I just obtained this sealed in a sealing jade from the inheritance I mentioned to you before. Also, as for this Water Hound, someone helped me with it. I wouldn't be able to do it alone, now would I?"
He placed everything on the inheritance. What could they do? Investigate it?
These people were intelligent as well. They knew that everything Yang Zhai said couldn't be true. Almost all of them understood the moment they saw the gorillas that this attack was a setup.
If they knew that everything wasn't true, what could they do then? Well, they could just stay quiet if Yang Zhai was going to put everything on an inheritance.
They did just that. They didn't ask him any more questions regarding this.
…..
However, only two days had passed when they were surrounded by another group of vulpias.
Hae Jin: The Hell.
Only two days, it was only two days. They had dealt with a large number of vulpias just two days ago.
This was supposed to be a rare occasion! Damn it!: Hae Jin.
Yang Zhai again shamelessly started to move to the middle.
Everyone stared at this with twitching eyes.
"Does he truly believe that we can't see him…" someone muttered.
!|!*****!*****!|!
Hae Jin: Author, meet me outside… Are we a joke to you? You said it was a rare occasion, a rare occasion, stay true to your words!
