Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2159: Surrounded

Long Xiang’s bloodshot eyes looked at the map in front of him. He looked very tired. There were also other people around him who were in the same state. They all looked exhausted. Their spirits looked down. They were silent as they looked at the map.

After some time, Long Xiang opened his mouth and said, “It’s clear that we are surrounded. There are at least 50 thousand Ghost Cultivators around us; and the number is increasing every minute. The area we can move around is becoming smaller and smaller. In a few days, I’m afraid we won’t have a place to move. We could only fight.”

Long Xiang’s words only received silence from everyone. However, their expressions became uglier. Long Xiang looked at everyone and said, “The Ghost Cultivators have been waiting for us. They know that we’re headed here. With a general understanding of our route, they managed to lock us down.”

As soon as Long Xiang said this, everyone’s vision couldn’t help but turn towards Lei Jian. Lei Jian’s face turned uglier. But he couldn’t say anything to defend himself right now. When Zhao Hai told them that they were going to be surrounded, Lei Jian was the one who opposed him.

Long Xiang waved his hand and said, “Alright, settle yourselves down. Blaming others won’t yield anything. Now we must decide what we should do.”

The group remained silent, they were thinking hard about what they should do. It’s not that they don’t want to use their portable transmission formation to return, but they already found out that this was impossible. The Ghost Cultivators spent a lot of resources to lay down a huge spatial locking formation. This disabled their portable transmission formations.

The group also thought about creating a static transmission formation, but they didn’t have the time. Static transmission formations couldn’t be created on a whim. It requires time to create a transmission formation that could transport hundreds of people. At the very least, the group needed to stop for ten hours. In order for them to accomplish this feat, they would need a Formations Grandmaster that they don’t have. Therefore, the group would have to spend one or two days to arrange a static transmission formation.

Naturally, if they arranged a smaller formation, it wouldn’t take a long time. However, a smaller transmission formation wasn’t possible with their circumstances. Once a transmission formation was used, Ghost Cultivators would immediately find their position. It was impossible for a small transmission formation to transport everyone back in time. Moreover, the more people being transported, the less people there would be who could defend.

Because of this, nobody suggested building a static transmission formation. So, everyone needed to look for another method.

However, nobody had any good ideas. Long Xiang’s heart was beating hard right now. He doesn’t know if Zhao Hai and the others were done with their preparations. Long Xiang knew very well where Zhao Hai and the others came from. It would take at least three days for them to reach Flying Ghost City. And in these few days, Ghost Cultivators were constantly rushing over. If Zhao Hai and the others met them, then their travel would be delayed even more.

This was what Long Xiang was most worried about. If Zhao Hai and the others suffered an accident, then their last hope would be gone.

From the time Zhao Hai and the others left to the present, seven days have passed. Zhao Hai didn’t send any updates during this time, causing Long Xiang to worry.

At this time, a rustling sound was heard. Everyone stared for a moment before becoming alert. Long Xiang felt a rumbling underneath him before an insect crawled out from the ground. Everyone stared before their complexion changed, they were preparing to attack the insect.

Seeing the insect, Long Xiang’s expression lit up. He immediately stopped everyone, “Don’t move. I know this insect.”

As soon as they heard Long Xiang, the surrounding team leaders couldn’t help but stare. They all looked at Long Xiang in confusion. Meanwhile, Long Xiang looked at the insect as well as the jade slip on its back.

Long Xiang took the jade slip and scanned it with his spiritual force. After seeing the contents inside, Long Xiang let out a long breath. Then he turned to everyone and said, “This insect is Zhao Hai’s beast. It is very suitable for stealth. I saw it once in the Long Clan. It’s because of this insect that I asked Zhao Hai to be the scout. With these insects, the path ahead became safer for us.”

After saying this, Long Xiang sighed and said, “Zhao Hai asked the insect to bring us a message. He wants us to break through the encirclement and head towards Flying Ghost City. He will meet us there. They already set up a static transmission formation that can send a thousand people. We can all return immediately.”

The team leaders couldn’t help but be elated by the news. Long Xiang looked at everyone and said, “Alright, go and prepare yourselves. Follow me!” Everyone nodded and then stood up. By now, the group has decreased from around 900 people to around 700. Two hundred people have died along the way.

However, everyone found that something was wrong. The team leader of the Imperial Beast Sect looked around and said, “Elder Long, this doesn’t seem to be the way to Flying Ghost City. Where are we going?”

Long Xiang turned his head and said, “Little Hai has given us a safe route. If we follow the route, we’ll avoid the majority of the Ghost Cultivators.”

As soon as the Imperial Beast Sect Elder heard this, they couldn’t help but be stunned. Then he coldly snorted and said, “Elder Long, aren’t you afraid that Zhao Hai has made a mistake? If we take a wrong turn, we will fall into a hopeless situation.”

Long Xiang stopped, then he looked right into the Imperial Beast Sect Elder’s eyes and said, “If you don’t believe Zhao Hai, you can find a way out yourself. Those who want to come with me can come, those who don’t believe Zhao Hai can leave.”

When the Elder from the Imperial Beast Sect heard what Long Xiang said, his face couldn’t help but pale. He understood the situation they were in. If they left the group and acted along, they would have no chance of surviving in the underground world. For the sake of their lives, they can’t leave. The only reason he spoke out was because he was a little angry at Zhao Hai, thus explaining his lack of trust.

Seeing that the Imperial Beast Sect Elder didn’t speak, Long Xiang coldly snorted and then continued on. They didn’t dare fly at this moment.

The group traveled safely and without interruption for a straight four hours. This was a rare achievement given their situation. In the past, they would meet Ghost Cultivators every two hours. Now, they didn’t meet Ghost Cultivators for four hours. In their minds, this was a miracle.

At this time, Long Xiang waved his hand and said, “Everyone, be careful. In front of us is a blockade with around 500 Ghost Cultivators. There’s no way around them. We can only rush over and break through as soon as possible.”

Everyone’s body shook. Then they immediately took their weapons out. Sure enough, after walking for 10 minutes, the group saw traces of Ghost Cultivators ahead. Long Xiang became more alert. Then he suddenly heard the sound of exclamation. Long Xiang stared, then he ordered, “Charge!” After saying that, he charged into the Ghost Cultivators First.

After charging for around a dozen meters, Long Xiang noticed that there was a Ghost Cultivator whose face was black and was dying. Long Xiang was stunned but he immediately understood. He quickly ordered, “Everyone, increase your speed!” The others also noticed the Ghost Cultivator with a dark face. Although most of them didn’t understand what was going on, they still increased their pace.

As the group proceeded forward, they began to meet other Ghost Cultivators. But like the first Ghost Cultivator, all of them were poisoned and were dead.

Then they heard a roaring sound in front of them. They walked forward to take a look and found that there were around 400 Ghost Cultivators frantically attacking the ground. It was as if there was something terrible underground.

Seeing this, Long Xiang quickly understood. He immediately ordered, “Everyone, kill!” The others roared and charged towards the Ghost Cultivators.

There were only around 400 Ghost Cultivators. Moreover, they weren’t very strong. It was simply impossible for them to block Long Xiang and the others. As soon as the two sides met, the Ghost Cultivators were thrown back. Long Xiang didn’t eliminate all of the Ghost Cultivators. Speeding up and moving away was his utmost goal. Killing the Ghost Cultivators wasn’t their priority.

Long Xiang knew that their actions would definitely attract the Ghost Cultivators. If they didn’t leave immediately, the Ghost Cultivators might catch up to them.

Long Xiang and the others immediately broke away from the battle and rushed forward. They also increased their speed. They even began to fly at low altitude.

It’s possible that their attack was too sudden and unexpected. So, after their battle, they didn’t encounter any Ghost Cultivators for the next few hours.

The group flew for another four hours or so. Then they turned into a different direction and proceeded forward until it was completely dark. They stayed hidden all this time,

Despite the darkness setting in, Long Xiang and the others didn’t dare to stop. They ignored their exhaustion and pushed forward. The darkness provided more stealth to the group. But at the same time, Long Xiang was aware that the night was also beneficial to the Ghost Cultivators. When darkness comes, the techniques of the Ghost Cultivators would become stronger. It can be said that although the darkness provided cover for Long Xiang and the others, it also made the situation more difficult for them.

Although they clearly knew this, they didn’t stop. They wanted to get out of the encirclement as soon as possible.
