Cultivation starts with taming beasts

Late at night, Qi Yunxian and Boss Qiu and more than 20 people were lurking in front of the restricted area cave entrance.

"Everyone, bring your sachets! As long as you have the sachets, the rats will not attack you. When the restricted area gets chaotic, everyone will rush in and kill all the people from the Black Water Gate inside." Boss Qiu said to everyone before the action,

The cultivators here now are all the trusted subordinates of Qiu and Hao. They are also people with higher cultivation among the miners. The lowest among them is above the sixth level of Qi Refining. They have also been informed of the situation in the mine and decided to deal with the Black Water Gate with Boss Qiu.

Everyone is dressed in black night clothes, covering their faces and waiting for the opportunity.

At this moment, the Black Water Gate cultivators and Liu family cultivators in the restricted area have also rested, leaving only four people to guard the cave entrance. These four people are all Black Water Gate cultivators, and their cultivation is not bad. They have the strength of the eighth level of Qi Refining.

They are not unknown people in the Black Water Gate.

"Brother Hai, how many years will it take for this life to end? I'm going crazy staying here every day without seeing the sun."

One of the Black Water Sect disciples complained. As members of the Black Water Sect who were secretly mining ore, they were unlucky.

In order to prevent the news from leaking out, they could not leave the mine before the mining was completed.

Although their rewards were far more than double those issued by the sect, these days were really hard to endure. After all, there were no spiritual veins in the mine, and cultivation depended entirely on elixirs and spiritual stones. If it weren't for the suppression of the foundation-building elders, they would have wanted to quit long ago.

"Just bear it slowly! Who told you that I don't have a good master? At this rate, I'm afraid it will take more than 30 years to complete this mission, alas."

This Brother Hai also sighed helplessly. No one was willing to stay here all the time. Although the treatment in the mine was good, it was of no help to their cultivation. Only those cultivators who had no hope for the future would choose to come here.

"What's that sound? Did you hear any strange sounds?"

Brother Hai suddenly asked, and the group stopped talking and held their breath. Sure enough, some subtle sounds came from the darkness ahead.

"Brother Zhou, use the fireball spell to shine ahead."

Brother Zhou understood what he meant, and threw a fireball spell over. A dense crowd of gold-eating rats rushed towards them like a tide.

"Send a signal, gold-eating rat tide, hurry up!"

The fireball spell fell into the rat group, but had no effect. Instead, it angered the entire group of gold-eating rats, and they attacked them crazily.

The group had never seen such a scene before, and they were already scared out of their wits. Brother Hai was the first to react, and asked the group to retreat. At the same time, he threw out three or four earth wall talismans to temporarily block the cave entrance.

But he knew that this level of gold-eating rat tide could not be resisted by a few earth walls, so he led his people in without looking back.

After several earth walls supported for a while, they were smashed to pieces by dozens of golden light spells.

The gold-eating rat tide continued to surge towards the restricted area. At this time, Senior Brother Zhou had already woken up everyone, so he didn't need to say anything more. Everyone saw that the horror was the rat tide coming, and suddenly felt that a disaster was coming.

There were not many cultivators in the entire restricted area. There were more than 30 people from the Liu family who were mining, but their cultivation was not very high, and there were ten people from the Black Water Gate, each of whom was at the eighth level of Qi training and was proficient in the art of combined attack.

They were the guards to ensure the safety of the entire restricted area.

At this moment, several cultivators from the Black Water Gate had set up a simple first-level thick earth formation to resist the surging rat tide. There was no worry about their lives for the time being, but this was not a solution. The first-level formation could not stop it for long.

"What's going on? Why did a rat tide suddenly break out? How did Senior Brother Li and the others do it? Don't they clean up the rat plague every year?"

"Yes! How did they do it? Don't they only know how to make money and don't do anything serious?"

"We're doomed this time. There are too many gold-eating rats. The formation will be broken in half an hour at most. We can't wait like this. We must fight our way out while we still have some magic power."

The Liu family cultivators couldn't sit still anymore and sent a few people to ask.

"I don't know what to do, fellow Taoists. With this rat tide, should we hold on and wait for rescue or fight to the death?"

Several Black Water Gate cultivators looked at the Liu family members tacitly. These Liu family members were not direct descendants, but from the Liu family's side branches. They were all of low cultivation. The only strongest one was just an old cultivator at the sixth level of Qi training.

It would be difficult to rush out with them, but using them as bait is a good choice.

"Fellow Daoist, you asked a good question. If we defend it, the first-level formation will not last long. You have also seen that the scale of this rat tide is too large. Now we must rush out while we still have some mana."

The Liu family also put their hearts on the matter after hearing this.The big stone was put down, they were afraid that the Black Water Gate monks would despise their low cultivation and abandon them and leave alone.

Soon, under the leadership of the Black Water Gate monks, everyone rushed out of the restricted area, trying to fight their way out of the rat tide.

Senior Brother Hai took the lead, holding a black shield of the best magic weapon in his hand, and rushed out. Countless golden light spells kept hitting the shield like raindrops.

"I can't hold on for long, throw someone out to distract the rats."

Senior Brother Hai ordered the people behind him,

The other Black Water Gate monks had already reached a consensus that an unlucky Liu family monk was thrown out of the crowd, and the rats really slowed down their offensive because of the Liu family monk thrown out, and Senior Brother Hai also took the opportunity to speed up.

Relying on this method, Senior Brother Hai really led everyone out, but the Liu family was miserable. There were more than 30 people before, but now only 12 people survived, and the others were swallowed by the rats.

Senior Brother Hai and the others did not dare to stay. Everyone rushed out of the mine to pass on this important message. Only the foundation-building cultivators could quell this rat tide, and he could also use this incident to overthrow Li Ming and Zhao Wei, who were not doing their job well.

Boss Qiu was about to take action, but was stopped by Qi Yunxian.

"The situation has changed. The cultivators of the Black Water Gate did not suffer much loss. If we act rashly, we may not be able to keep them. Moreover, some miners in the mine who do not know the truth will help them. If our rebellion is exposed, it will not be good for the outside world to be on guard.

Let's go out with these people, and then take advantage of the Liu family's ancestors dealing with the gold-eating rats to launch a sneak attack. This way we will be more certain."

Everyone looked at each other and agreed to this method. After changing their clothes, they followed the Black Water Gate cultivators from a distance and ran towards the exit of the mine.
