Chapter 442: This is a Trap (5000-Word Mega Chapter, Seeking Monthly Votes/Subscriptions)_2

"Shiming, this time we've slain four Great Python Demons!" Lin Shijie came over and spoke.
```
His face, however, was devoid of joy.
Under normal circumstances, he would have been overjoyed at the slaying of four Great Python Demons.
But now, a new wave of Demonic Beasts had surrounded the island, and there were likely even more powerful Great Demons lurking in the dark.
Regrettably, it was time to evacuate.
Jiuyue Island had been personally bestowed to the Lin Family by Red Leaf True Person; the Lin Family could not be the first to retreat.
Even if they were to retreat, in his opinion, they should also dismantle and take the Jiuyue Formation with them.
Otherwise, to just let a Fourth Rank Supreme Grade formation be destroyed would be a tremendous loss of foundation.
"Big brother, continue the evacuation arrangements!" Shiming's face was still filled with worry.
However, his tone was quite calm.
Listening to Shiming's tone, Lin Shijie felt somewhat reassured.
Although they let other clans evacuate first, the craftsmen from the Lin Family's Talisman Crafting Hall, Alchemy Hall, and Artifact Refining Hall could naturally evacuate early, and they would also take away the wealth of the Lin Family market.
This included a large number of Demonic Beasts' corpses, materials for artifact refining, and a vast amount of Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones.
Each time the Transmission Formation lit up, it could transport a hundred people.
After one transmission, the Transmission Formation would need to wait for a while to prevent the Spirit Patterns from breaking.
Simultaneously, new Spirit Stones also had to be placed on it.
Naturally, there was a difference in the consumption of Spiritual Energy between transporting one person and transporting a hundred people at once.
And every few hours, the Demonic Beasts would attack in waves, and then Fourth Rank Blue Flood Dragons appeared among these Demonic Beasts. These Blue Flood Dragons released streams of water dragons toward the Jiuyue Formation but did not advance.
When Shiming led people out to pursue and kill, these Blue Flood Dragons would flee.
Once they returned to the island, those Blue Flood Dragons would come back again.
In this way, the retreat of the cultivators on Jiuyue Island was greatly affected, after all, chasing and exterminating Demonic Beasts also required cultivators.
As Shiming needed to conserve his True Yuan, naturally, the other cultivators had to take action.
After continuing like this four times, on Jiuyue Island, the remaining cultivators numbered just over two hundred people. Half of them were from the Lin Family. The remaining quarter were from the Zhao Family, Ye Family, and Primordial Yang Gate. The rest were cultivators from other families who remained to cover the retreat.
However, among these two hundred plus people, nearly a hundred were Foundation Establishment cultivators, which represented the bulk of Jiuyue Island's former combat power.
The Demonic Beast tide was becoming increasingly urgent, and at that moment, System notifications were vigorously ringing in Shiming's mind.
[Please beware of stealth attacks by the Blue-Eyed Demon King and Chi Yu Demon King. Activate the Ten Directions Crimson Bird Formation and release the Flaming Sword!]
Shiming looked up to see that the rain on the sea had intensified, pouring down like thick lines of water onto the sea, causing the water level to rise sharply.
And it was still dark today; the two Demon Kings had arrived earlier than he had expected.
However, it suited him perfectly!
The raging sea surged with higher tsunamis, not waiting for the Transmission Formation to light up again.
In the waves, one could vaguely see the heads of Demonic Beasts popping up, and in the sky, many flying Demonic Beasts were approaching.
There were Sea Cloud Birds, Golden Rocs, and flying Spirit Sparrows.
The faces of all the protecting cultivators went pale.
For behind them, they could see more than ten Flood Dragons flying toward them.
The immense Flood Dragons, radiating formidable demonic might, each carried a momentum that could topple an island.
Even from a distance, the thick spiritual power that formed a dazzling aura was blinding to the cultivators!
And this time, there were more than a dozen of them.
"Continue transmitting with the Transmission Formation, Lin Family and Purple Mansion cultivators will cover our retreat!" Shiming spoke.
This sentence was practically a blessing to the cultivators on Jiuyue Island.
Although they did not understand, they also rapidly entered the Transmission Formation, activating the Transmission Formation under the stakes of their lives and property.
Almost only Lin Family cultivators and Purple Mansion cultivators were left, including the Zhao Family, Ye Family, and Primordial Yang Gate's lead Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Since the Lin Family were covering the rear, they naturally could not leave first.
They could only wait for the last transmission.
Boom!
Ten Flood Dragons finally appeared, but they reached the island ahead of the other Demonic Beasts.
Among them was the Wind Flood Dragon.
It ferociously stared at Shiming.
And also at the Red-haired Demon Monkey and Golden Winged Mantis; it had to personally reclaim the humiliation it suffered!
The previously invincible Jiuyue Formation, each of the mountain peaks, was now being swept away by the tails of those Fourth Rank Flood Dragons.
Although the Jiuyue Formation was powerful, facing the many Flood Dragons sharing the attack, it now seemed somewhat insufficient.
That Thunder Flood Dragon in particular, with lightning arcs dancing between its horns, pressed down its mouth violently in the next moment.
A thick arc of lightning arrow surged out, hitting the formation, instantly igniting hundreds of miles of thunderous turbulence, the continuous crackling sound echoing endlessly.
Like a net of electricity, it covered the Spirit Shield of Jiuyue Island.
Boom!
The Jiuyue Formation began to totter, the entire colossal Jiuyue Island shaking.
"Everyone, clear out the Demonic Beasts, then return to the formation!" This time, it was Shiming who was controlling the Jiuyue Formation.
Others running the Jiuyue Formation would not have enough True Yuan, and secondly, their Divine Sense was insufficient to unleash its full power.
Shiming alone was controlling the nine mountains and seven Soul-Suppressing Pagodas, fending off the attacks of over a dozen Flood Dragons.
The roaring sounds were endless!
Hearing Shiming's command, the cultivators also immediately used their strongest techniques, preparing to clear the Demonic Beasts approaching the formation to prevent the Jiuyue Formation from being worn down.
However, one of the Purple Mansion Loose Cultivators immediately flew toward the Transmission Formation, not intending to stay at all.
And this person was none other than the Qing Mountain Hermit who had contradicted Shiming on Heavenly Phenomenon Island.
