陆砚's sword fell like a signal, and all the warriors from Yu Village followed suit. This time, five-element warriors arrived, with ten people including Lu Yan and Jian Yunchuan, all at the fifth to sixth level of Qi Refinement.
Each person possessed cultivation levels ranging from the fifth to the sixth layer of Qi Refinement.
They used their respective divine abilities to deal with the swarming desert lizards.
Soon, the field was filled with the radiant techniques used by the five-element warriors, colorful and dazzling.
They easily slaughtered a large number of desert lizards, relieving the pressure on the Barbarian Tribe.
An hour later, unable to break the Barbarian Tribe's defense, the desert lizards began to retreat back into the wilderness.
"Lord Yu Su, thanks to Yu Village's assistance, we might not have been able to defend the wooden wall in today's battle without it," the Barbarian Tribe's Great Witch expressed gratitude.
Today, the desert lizards came in unprecedented numbers, ten times more than usual. Without Yu Su's help, the wooden wall would have surely been breached, and the forest would not have remained so calm.
Yu Su modestly acknowledged, emphasizing that he would always assist in such situations. The Barbarian Tribe's forest served as a crucial barrier for Yu Village in the south.
Although the desert lizards had retreated, the Barbarian Tribe remained vigilant, fearing another attack. The Great Witch immediately ordered the repair of the wooden wall, with the assistance of their warriors.
Yu Su instructed Jian Yunchuan and Lu Yan to help with the repairs.
In addition to the repairs, many Barbarian Tribe members were injured. Yu Su, noticing their serious injuries, generously performed a large-scale healing technique.
A pale green light descended, alleviating the pain of the injured Barbarian Tribe members and restoring their strength.
They looked at Yu Su in awe, not understanding the source of this power.
The Barbarian Tribe's Great Witch, witnessing the recovery of his warriors, was astonished. Looking at Yu Su, his eyes were filled with even greater reverence.
"Take them to treat their injuries," Yu Su calmly instructed.
The bewildered Barbarian Tribe members quickly took their injured companions for treatment.
After some time, the Great Witch regained his composure and deeply bowed to Yu Su, expressing gratitude for his kindness and generosity.
Yu Su helped him up, "Great Witch, no need for formalities."
...
"Boom, boom, boom!"
On the southern border of the forest, continuous rumbling echoed.
Jian Yunchuan infused his spiritual power into the ground, lifting up walls of earth, while Lu Yan, accompanied by other five-element warriors, quickly reinforced them.
In just a few days, the original wooden wall at the border was replaced by sturdy walls of earth.
The warriors from various Barbarian Tribe factions, who had been guarding here, had gone from initial shock to gradually becoming numb to the sight. However, their admiration for Jian Yunchuan grew stronger day by day.
In their eyes, Jian Yunchuan and the others had become god-like figures.
During this period, the desert lizards made a few more attempts to harass them, but each time they were repelled.
The forest briefly returned to calm.
The Barbarian Tribe's Great Witch and various factions were extremely grateful for Yu Su's assistance, treating them as honored guests and ensuring their comfort in the forest.
Three days later, the earth walls were completed.
Yu Su instructed Jian Yunchuan and the others to rest in the Barbarian Tribe's forest while he went to explore the depths of the desert.
"I'll go with you," Lu Yan volunteered.
Yu Su didn't refuse and took Lu Yan with him.
As they soared into the sky from the Barbarian Tribe's forest, Jian Yunchuan and the others, accustomed to such scenes, remained unfazed.
Meanwhile, the Barbarian Tribe members, looking up, couldn't help but marvel at the sight.
"If I could fly like Lord Yu Su, I'd wake up laughing from my dreams."
"You're dreaming too much. Lord Yu Su is the descendant of the Deer God. What are you?"
"I'm also a believer in the Beast God."
"But the Great Witch is the chosen one of the Beast God. Why can't he fly?"
The Barbarian Tribe's Great Witch, originally watching Yu Su fly into the distance, gave a stern look to the warrior who spoke.
The warrior quickly lowered his head, not daring to say another word.
When the Great Witch returned to the Beast God's temple, he couldn't help but complain to the Beast God about the lack of divine power.
The response he received from the Beast God was an enigmatic hexagram that seemed to imply, "Think about what you've eaten."
The Great Witch coughed awkwardly, silently putting away the divination tools.
Alas, the Beast God was too stingy, probably not as generous as the Deer God.
...
On the other side, Yu Su soared on his sword with Lu Yan through the wilderness.From above, it can be seen that there were originally many cultivation areas in the wilderness. It should be that the Barbarian Tribe once planted crops, but now they have all been ruined.
The desert lizards gathered in the wilderness, either lying still or biting each other, showing no intention of returning to the desert.
Yu Su found it increasingly strange and flew towards the desert with Lu Yan.
Transitioning from the wilderness to the desert, vegetation gradually became sparse, and the land turned sandy. All that could be seen was a vast expanse of yellow sand, devoid of other colors.
Such a place was probably only suitable for the desert lizards.
However, the reason for the desert lizards leaving their nests had not been discovered yet.
Lu Yan pointed in a direction, "Over there."
Yu Su looked and noticed a denser spiritual energy in that area. He flew his sword towards it.
Upon arrival, they found it to be a narrow oasis with water and vegetation. The central part of the oasis had lush grass and water.
There were many remnants of nest-like traces nearby, but all of them were destroyed. There were also many remnants of lizard eggshells scattered around, as if they had been smashed by something, shattered on the ground.
Even before landing, Yu Su keenly felt that something was hiding in the vegetation at the center of the oasis. His divine sense swept over, revealing a desert leopard.
This desert leopard was not alone but had a family.
In the center of the oasis, besides an adult male and female desert leopard, there were also three leopard cubs that seemed to have been born recently.
When Yu Su and the others approached, the two adult desert leopards detected them. The mother leopard protected the cubs, while the male leopard stared at Yu Su and his companions, emitting a threatening sound from its throat.
Yu Su floated on his sword, out of the leopard's reach, and observed it.
Yu Su noticed that the area near their den was littered with desert lizard eggshells. He understood why these two desert leopards came here to give birth.
[Desert Leopard, second-order demonic beast. But judging by the special pattern on the male leopard's forehead, it should be a Leopard King, with strength reaching the third order, close to the Foundation Establishment stage.]
[Desert leopards have extremely fast movement speed, and their claws and sharp teeth are their attack weapons. They prey on any creature in the desert and are very ferocious demonic beasts.]
After a comprehensive scan, the Spirit Elf provided detailed information to Yu Su.
Yu Su was surprised; it turned out to be a Leopard King.
No wonder the desert lizards couldn't beat them, collectively retreating.
Knowing that the male leopard's strength was at the third order, Yu Su did not land recklessly.
Lu Yan also sensed the threat from the male leopard. He had an intuition that the male leopard's strength was similar to his, or perhaps even stronger.
"Is it a third-order demonic beast?" Lu Yan asked.
Yu Su, surprised by his keen intuition, nodded, "Yes, a third-order Leopard King."
"I can try fighting it," Lu Yan said.
Yu Su reminded, "Its strength is already very close to the Foundation Establishment stage."
Lu Yan's eyes burst with a fighting spirit, "I know."
After some thought, Yu Su did not refuse.
If Lu Yan could drive away this desert leopard, he would spare its family.
His goal was only to make the group of desert lizards return to their original nest.
"Be careful."
Lu Yan nodded, drew his own sword after landing, and faced the male leopard.
The Leopard King sensed Lu Yan's intent and stared menacingly at him.
Lu Yan was noticeably more cautious than before, and at the same time, the fighting spirit emanating from him became stronger.
Although the wildness on Lu Yan's body had seemingly diminished over the past two years, in essence, that wildness still lurked within him, waiting for an opportunity to manifest.
His aura suddenly calmed down, and his eyes focused on the Leopard King like a wild beast.
The Leopard King, sensing the change in Lu Yan's aura, became even more fierce. It once again pounced towards Lu Yan.
"Roar!"
As the Leopard King rushed towards Lu Yan, he also charged at it with his sword.
The flaming sword clashed with the Leopard King's sharp claws, producing a spine-chilling, sharp sound.
Unexpectedly, the Leopard King's claws were incredibly hard, and Lu Yan's sword did not cut them off.
This demonstrated the strength of the Leopard King.
