Chapter 2055 - 2056: Blocking Enemy Reinforcements

Zhang Zhenlin said, "After passing this place, you'll reach the east side of the valley, and then just a bit further you'll arrive at the east gate of the valley. It's certain that these foreign races have carefully prepared their ambush here in advance."

Lan Yan said, "If they had already scouted, then why didn't they set up an ambush here earlier? We almost couldn't come over yesterday."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Yesterday, the Foreign Land Space set ambushes everywhere humans appeared, using a vast amount of manpower and resources, so this place was left unguarded.

However, the opening time of the Foreign Land Space's gate is limited, so after attacking humans in various places, they rushed over here to set up an ambush and prevent human reinforcements."

Sun Wei said, "According to this, these foreign entities are all meticulously designed and arranged. It's definitely not like we previously thought, where everyone acted based on their own objectives."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, beads of sweat forming on his brow.

If there truly is such a foreign race capable of mobilizing all foreign races, even assigning tasks to each, then that's truly terrifying.

Why doesn't humanity have such a person with absolute authority? That's because humans are too proud; unless they fight to see who's stronger, no one listens to anyone.

But how did these foreign races manage this? Is there truly a person whose strength and prestige can make all foreign races obedient? What kind of person has such capability?

Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but recall the strange old man who appeared in Xianling Mountain.

The appearance of this old man was very odd, not showing up earlier but suddenly appearing when humans were about to enter Xianling Mountain.

If you weren't satisfied with Su Wei's arrangements, you could have spoken up earlier rather than using your influence to incite those Loose Cultivators and minor sect cultivators.

The old man's appearance successfully incited suspicion among Loose Cultivators and minor sects against the major sects, and they rushed in upon entering Xianling Mountain.

The old man made everyone believe the Heavenly God Sword was within reach, appearing at the location he mentioned, and could be obtained.

However, upon arriving at that location, there wasn't a Heavenly God Sword but rather many ambushes. Those who believed the old man's words and rushed ahead fell into the trap, suffering heavy casualties, severely weakening humanity's strength.

Another intriguing matter is that Wuliang Mountain didn't arrive this time; their reasoning is quite interesting, as Wuliang Mountain's people said they were obstructed by some individuals.

What kind of person would impede Wuliang Mountain's entry into the Foreign Land Space?

Bear in mind that Wuliang Mountain and Shu Mountain Sword Sect combined form a formidable force, with over a hundred elite cultivators entering the Foreign Land Space, definitely a significant power.

Why would someone attack Wuliang Mountain? Are they not afraid of Wuliang Mountain's retaliation?

If the people of Wuliang Mountain weren't focused on reaching Xianling Mountain quickly, a real battle would make them fearless.

What was the objective behind such attacks? Could there be underlying schemes too?

At this moment, a wave of Northern Spiritual Energy swept over Ling Zhenfei and the others.

Startled, Ling Zhenfei quickly used his power of the soul to envelop all four.

The Divine Sense scanned the four, then swept back over again, clearly having detected something, but upon returning, it found nothing.

Sun Wei asked, "Is it the Demon Hunter?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Unsure, let me check."

Ling Zhenfei followed the direction of that Divine Sense with his power of the soul, found its source, and immediately discovered it wasn't a Demon Hunter but some human cultivators.

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's not the Demon Hunter but human cultivators, around twenty or so, probably from a small sect."

Sun Wei asked, "Should we go over and join them, or wait a bit longer to see?"

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "The front is guarded by foreign races; no one gets through easily. We should wait and see."

Under Ling Zhenfei's power of the soul protection, the four continued forward.

Finally, they arrived at the place guarded by the foreign races.

The foreign races had piled up stones here, organizing humans' advance. Judging by the numbers, the foreign race team consisted of at least dozens holding Long Pikes and bows and arrows.

Sun Wei said, "These foreign races are uglier one than another."

The foreign races indeed looked strange, each with four hands.

Having four hands, one head, and two eyes protruding high, they couldn't look stranger.

On their backs, they carried large bags filled with arrows.

Ling Zhenfei said, "These people are tough to handle. Although there are only dozens, you can tell by the bows they carry they're skilled archers.

Observe how they hold the bows; one hand holds a Long Pike, two hands shoot arrows, and the other hand fetches arrows, possibly enabling continuous firing."

Lan Yan laughed, "Senior Brother Ling, these foreign races haven't moved yet, and you already understand them so well?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "By their arrow-holding posture, you can see. The fact they dare to guard here indicates these are formidable figures guarding such significant locations."

Sun Wei asked, "What should we do?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "This place has cliffs on both sides, with only a central pathway, a strategic location akin to ancient legendary soldiers competing, truly like 'one man guards the path, thousands cannot pass.'

It's challenging to pass, so we should wait for those cultivators to see what methods they might have."

The four waited on a hillside, seeing a group approaching from afar.

These people moved stealthily, walking through the forest, but when they reached this pass, there were no trees.

The trees might have been intentionally cut down by the foreign races to make this area more observable.

These people were evidently discussing how to proceed, but due to the distance, their conversation was inaudible.

After a short while, the twenty-plus individuals came out, intending to break through directly.

At this point, it seems breaking through is the only option.

Taking another route would be time-consuming, uncertain if they could arrive today.

Moreover, even after circumventing, they might face another guarded pass; what should they do then?

But as soon as these people appeared, they were detected, and all four-handed foreign races prepared their defense.

The cultivators formed into pairs, advancing toward the pass, but hadn't taken many steps before the foreign races' arrows began to rain down.

Actually, many cultivators think arrows don't affect them much, but they are mistaken. These arrows are truly different.
