Hearing this, Qin Feng knew that the oasis must hide something he didn't know, and it was very dangerous. He couldn't venture into the oasis until his strength was sufficient.
Afterward, Qin Feng continued to ask, "Are there any other dangerous places in this area besides the oasis?"
Hearing this, Zhang Weidao shook his head. He said, "We haven't encountered any other dangerous situations. Apart from the oasis, the desert seems to be normal. Of course, what we will encounter after leaving this desert is not something we know."
Hearing this, Qin Feng nodded. At this moment, loud footsteps suddenly sounded outside. It was clearly the sound of a monster. Judging by the sound, it should be a powerful monster comparable in weight to a brown bear, moving around.
Zhang Weidao quickly whispered, "Everyone hold your breath, don't speak, and wait for the monster to leave."
Thus, everyone fell silent, even holding their breath. Although the cultivation of those present was not high, they had the skill of breath-holding. A brief pause in breathing would not affect them.
Not long after, the monster's footsteps grew farther away from them.
At this moment, Zhang Weidao let out a long sigh and then said, "The monster has gone far. We can continue talking!"
This was said to Qin Feng. They had been here for such a long time, and they basically didn't communicate at night. As Qin Feng was joining their team for the first time and was eager to know information about this area, only Qin Feng would ask questions.
However, Qin Feng had already learned all the information he wanted to know and had nothing else to ask. Therefore, he did not speak but focused his attention on the one hundred Red Alert Legions outside.
He wanted to see what patterns the monsters moving at night had.
The one hundred Red Alert Legions were on a thousand square meters of land, moving rapidly, each holding a formation flag.
This was prepared by Qin Feng in advance. He was setting up an offensive and defensive formation, linking these one hundred people into one, forming a powerful combat team.
Around these Red Alert Legions, many monsters were lurking. Previously, these Red Alert soldiers had remained still and lay on the ground without Qin Feng's orders, thus not attracting the monsters' attention. Now, these people were moving at high speed, and the monsters rushed over upon hearing the commotion.
The first monster to arrive was a giant lizard with a long tongue and a body covered in hard scales, looking very strong.
Sensing the presence of over a hundred Red Alert soldiers moving at high speed within this area, it charged forward without hesitation, biting at the Red Alert soldier closest to it.
The mouth of this giant lizard was larger than the entire body of the Red Alert soldier. Coupled with its hard and sharp teeth, an ordinary person might have been killed instantly.
But with the assistance of the offensive and defensive formation, the monster did not succeed. Its hard teeth bit into the Red Alert soldier as if biting into a steel plate.
The lizard was also very surprised. It used all its strength, but still could not shake the Red Alert soldier's powerful defense.
Even Qin Feng himself did not know how strong the defense of the Red Alert soldiers was. It was the combined defense of one hundred super Red Alert soldiers. Only the Sect Master of the Qingxuan Sect, who had reached the Great Accomplishment stage, could break through this defense. Even Wang Feng, who was in the Void Refining stage, could not break through this defense.
This small lizard monster was even less likely to succeed.
Qin Feng then commanded this Red Alert soldier to switch from defense to offense, and with its powerful attack, it instantly tore the giant lizard in half.
Although the Red Alert soldier was small, it concentrated the powerful strength of one hundred people within its body. Therefore, in front of it, the giant lizard was no different from a piece of paper; it could easily tear the monster apart.
The giant lizard let out a pained howl. Its body had already split into two halves, but it was not dead yet, though it was close to death. Under this howl, more monsters were attracted, as if they had received some kind of summons.
Seeing more and more monsters joining the battle, Qin Feng became a little flustered. He could easily deal with one monster, but if the monsters became too numerous, his offensive and defensive formation might not be able to win. Although he was safe, if all these Red Alert soldiers died, it would take many days to train another one hundred super Red Alert soldiers.
His time was very precious now and could not be easily wasted.
Therefore, if he could keep these Red Alert soldiers alive, he naturally did not want to take risks.
However, at this moment, besides setting up the offensive and defensive formation here to meet the monsters' attacks, there was nothing else he could do. It was night, and he couldn't see his hand in front of his face. Even if he wanted to escape, these one hundred Red Alert soldiers might not be as fast as the monsters when running at full speed.
Moreover, in the dark night, these monsters had the advantage. During the escape, his formation would be disrupted, and the offensive and defensive formation would fail. It was possible that these Red Alert soldiers would be picked off one by one, which would be a loss.
Therefore, Qin Feng did not leave but stayed in place, resisting the monsters that were continuously arriving. For every monster that reached this place, Qin Feng would kill it without hesitation.
Thus, after an unknown amount of time, Qin Feng had killed dozens of monsters, but the monsters' attacks had not stopped, and they continued to arrive.
So Qin Feng opened his eyes and asked in the silent cave, "At night, why don't these monsters kill each other? Do they all know each other? Or, being monsters, can they sense each other's identity?"
Hearing this, Zhang Weidao thought for a moment and then explained, "We are not clear about this either. However, there is a legend that the Extreme Desert was not uninhabited before. It is said that the monsters and treasures here all originated from the humans of this land. Each monster seemed to have been human in their previous life, so it is not strange that they know each other. Of course, this is just a legend and not to be believed, but apart from this explanation, we don't know why they don't attack each other."
Another disciple said, "Not only do they not attack each other, but they also seem to have divided their territories and do not enter the territories of other monsters. At least during the day, we have not found any monsters wandering around randomly. But at night, everything changes. Monsters begin to search everywhere for people who intrude here, and each monster seems to be searching outside its own territory. They wander around aimlessly. Even if they encounter other monsters, they do not attack each other, as if some kind of tacit understanding has been formed."
