Chapter 349 - Barely Living

Chapter 349: Barely Living
Am I getting the good guy card at first glance?
Chen Ming’s mouth went on a cursing spree. His disciples were getting soaked in blood by fighting the war!
They were mostly Sovereigns and might seem insignificant in front of the beast tide, but they were relying on many Beneath Immortal beasts.
With the passing of the last year, along with their increase expertise in rearing savage beasts, the number of immortal beasts was over 20.
Almost every star had one assigned to it. With one immortal beast and ten Beneath Immortal beast to a star, plus the native cultivators, passing this disaster ought to be enough.
The disciples were at peak happiness. Many entered the Transcending realm and were eager to get their hands on these savage beasts!


Ling Xian led the main army, directing his fellow disciples into repelling the tide.
Ling Xian caught wind of an immortal beast descending upon the Ominous Star and swiftly sent two immortal beasts riding disciples over to salvage the situation.
While Li Suyi took his team of disciples in a rush to rescue as many places as he could.
On the Scholar Star, the cultivators were pushed back again and again, as far as ten thousand li, despite Yan Mountain disciples there to support them.
Scholar Star’s immortal came to Yan Mountain disciples’ camp to meet with the man in charge. He bowed the moment he entered,
It isn’t this old Daoist’s purpose to deceive Yan Mountain Lords, but the tide this time is abnormal, far stronger than in the past! I ask Lords not to forsake us.

The leader of the camp was not in the least worried. His name was Wu Feng,
Fellow Daoist, no need to panic. Yan Mountain has no intention to withdraw. We need to stabilize the frontlines and avoid the increase in casualties. Third senior brother is already on his way.

Scholar Star’ Earth Immortal was astonished,
Fellow Daoist is speaking of Yan Mountain Third Sect Leader?

Wu Feng nodded,
Correct!


That’s great! As long as he comes, the matter is settled!

Wu Feng then heard a cheer from outside. He went out just in time to see Li Suyi and his beast army killing his way through the tide.



He is here already. Now it will soon be settled! It won’t be long before the tide here is beaten.

The Earth Immortal was happier than ever,
How could I ever repay Yan Mountain’s kindness?

Wu Feng laughed,
Master always taught us to always have righteousness in our hearts! If not, we would have strayed down the demonic path. We move wherever we see injustice. This is Yan Mountain!

The Earth Immortal bowed toward Expansion Star,
Old Daoist kowtows before Yan Mountain Mountain Lord’s grace!

Li Suyi came with his elite force and asked Wu Feng,
What’s the status here?


Third senior brother, they have an immortal beast and twenty Beneath Immortal beasts!

Li Suyi laughed,
Just in time. Wu Feng, take the rest of the juniors and follow me!

Li Suyi rode on his golden-purple lion. Many savage beasts laid on the ground upon seeing such a majestic immortal beast, not budging an inch. The only one daring to challenge its might was a three-headed python.
Li Suyi patted his lion and the later turned hundreds of zhang tall. Next to him appeared three more immortal beasts, just as big, eyeing the python!
The four glared and, with concentrated effort, dealt with the enemy swiftly and neatly.


Fast-forward half a day and Li Suyi led his men who carried the half-dead python. In the presence of the four immortal beasts, no beast was stirring, surrendering to Yan Mountain.
Yan Mountain’s war situation made headways on each star. The number of dead savage beasts increased yet the disciples suffered far lesser injuries. One, because of immortal equipment. Two, the main battle was between the immortal beast and savage beasts. The disciples were there to command, so where was the danger in that?
And that wasn’t the least of it. The more beasts they subdued, the more intrigued they were about that Desolate Star of theirs.
Wouldn’t it be exciting to go grab immortal beasts there?
These beasts were too damn handy. They only needed food, though feeding so many weak ones was a hassle.
As for themselves, they only needed to keep survival as the number one priority, while leaving the fighting to the beasts.
When we get back, we need to suggest Master to go capture some more immortal beasts and Beneath Immortal beasts! It was a bit tricky to bond since they have some awareness, but it wasn’t much different from raising a dog.
If we are to move as we wish, we need to increase the power of these immortal beasts!
As for now, they just let them do what they wanted. Who needed something as useless as tactics anyway?
Li Suyi dealt with the beasts here and stayed for a meal at Wu Feng’s camp. Wu Feng also handed him a leather book.
Third senior brother, this Beast King Records is something we found when battling. I can’t understand a word of it. You should give it to Master.



Li Suyi stashed it without much thought,
Master just loves scriptures and books. I will deliver it once the war is over. Master always liked these weird and odd things.

The war spread but there weren’t that many losses on the natives’ side, not when Yan Mountain was there for support.
The outcome needn’t any speculation and only lacked a death toll.
On each star, the process was precise and neat until the last phase. It then turned into a Beneath Immortal beast capturing campaign. The native cultivators didn’t even blink as they handed over all of them to Yan Mountain. They helped them so much and this was the least they could offer.
As the war went on, Chen Ming laid under the bodhi tree grinning from ear to ear, Oh, so exciting!
Every once in a while ten million spiritual knowledge came pouring in.

Ding! You completed the B ranked mission, Help the Ill-fated Repel the Beast Tide. Reward: …


Ding! You completed the B ranked mission, helping the Scholar Star repel the beast tide. Reward: …

Chen Ming’s joy shot up each time spiritual knowledge came in. A thousand Dao Seeds were enough for the small success on the fledgling stage of Limitless Dao Body. How many would I need to reach large success?
How strong will it be?


No need to dwell on it. I’ll know when I try it!
I can’t even be called living anymore, not when I’m pucking blood every day!
