Wang Hong fired a large number of arrows towards the surroundings of the Flying Boat, covering the area with Devouring Spirit Poison.

Due to the activated defensive shield on the Flying Boat, the cultivators inside were unaffected by the poison.

At this moment, Demonic Beasts swarmed and fell like rain around the Flying Boat.

The cultivator who had previously taunted Wang Hong and tried to scare the Demonic Beasts found his Flying Sword about to strike a Demonic Bird, but the bird suddenly fluttered its wings and fell.

He redirected his Flying Sword and attempted to strike another Demonic Bird, but it too fluttered its wings and fell.

He then looked ahead at a large area that had cleared out, leaving only a few Demonic Beasts hesitantly hanging around.

He was not the only one feeling perplexed. All the cultivators on the Flying Boat were equally bewildered. They had prepared themselves for a heroic battle against the Demonic Beasts, even thinking of their last words before possible sacrifice.

However, as soon as the battle started, they realized that all the low-tier Demonic Beasts in the vicinity had been wiped out. The dramatic and tragic atmosphere they had expected had suddenly vanished.

It was only at this moment that someone remembered that someone had been frantically shooting seemingly harmless arrows around the Flying Boat. All eyes turned to Wang Hong for an explanation.

Gu Qingyang knew that Wang Hong was skilled in poison techniques, and he had noticed Wang Hong's unusual behavior earlier. He asked, "Was it your arrows that caused this?"

"Just a minor trick, Master," Wang Hong modestly replied.

Upon hearing Wang Hong's response, the others felt uneasy. If this method, which had exterminated a large number of Demonic Beasts, was considered a minor trick, then there might not be more powerful methods at their disposal.

Even for Golden Core cultivators, achieving a clean sweep against a large number of low-tier Demonic Beasts was not an easy task.

While the first-tier Demonic Beasts were weaker, they were numerous and succumbed quickly to the poison. Now, the remaining Demonic Beasts were all second-tier, and though they were also poisoned, their reactions were slower.

Furthermore, there were still many low-tier Demonic Beasts behind the main group. They had escaped earlier due to their distance but were now closing in on the Flying Boat once again, driven by the third-tier Demonic Beasts.

The Great Roc Bird saw that all the cannon fodder in front had died in an instant. Instead of feeling fear, it ignited its anger.

With a fierce cry, it led the third-tier Demonic Beasts from the rear and charged towards the Flying Boat.

Although it didn't know what Daoist Master Wang had done to cause such massive casualties among the cannon fodder in front, it possessed intelligence on par with humans and was not a reckless creature.

A quick glance revealed that only the first-tier Demonic Beasts had perished, and even the second-tier ones were unharmed. There was no reason for this third-tier Demonic Beast to be afraid.

As the Demon Clan unleashed all their Demonic Beasts to encircle the Flying Boat, the people on board didn't hesitate any longer. They all summoned their Spiritual Weapons and engaged in combat with the approaching Demonic Beasts.

With the defensive shield of the Flying Boat still intact, those on board didn't need to worry about defense. They focused on killing any Demonic Beasts they deemed a threat.

Their spirits were lifted after the recent events, and they no longer felt despair.

The Golden Core cultivators on the Flying Boat also joined the battle, each wielding their Magic Weapons to defend against the attacks of the third-tier Demonic Beasts.

There were more than twenty third-tier Demonic Beasts approaching, and if they were allowed to attack the protective shield of the Flying Boat, it wouldn't hold for long.
Unfortunately, the Flying Boat had only ten Golden Core cultivators, and they couldn't stop all the third-tier Demonic Beasts. Several Demonic Beasts still managed to break through the defenses and attack the Flying Boat's protective shield.

Facing Wang Hong now was a massive third-tier Roc Bird with wingspan at least ten yards wide, its cold eyes fixed on the Flying Boat.

The Roc Bird wielded a beak-shaped Magic weapon and bombarded the Flying Boat. Each strike caused severe fluctuations in the defensive shield.

The Devouring Spirit Poison released around the Flying Boat a moment ago hadn't dissipated yet, but it would take some time to take effect.

Wang Hong retrieved a differently shaped, pink-colored arrow from his Storage Bag and aimed it at the large Roc Bird, releasing it.

Before the arrow even reached its target, the Roc Bird's wings swept, shattering the arrow.

The Roc Bird sneered inwardly, considering the humans beneath it to be insignificant. Despite the numerous Spiritual Weapons flying from the Flying Boat, only this single arrow dared to target it directly.

As the Roc Bird's thoughts passed, it caught a whiff of a sweet fragrance, reminding it of a black-feathered bird it had encountered in the Eastern Sea, with its melodious chirping...

Seeing the Roc Bird momentarily enter a dazed state, Wang Hong, who had secretly summoned a massive Spirit net, had already positioned it above the Roc Bird.

Sudden feelings of danger jolted the Roc Bird out of its reverie, but the brief moment of confusion had already cost it the initiative.

By the time it reacted and tried to evade, it found itself ensnared by the large net.

This infuriated the Roc Bird. Due to its relationship with its elder sibling, it held a certain status within the entire Eastern Sea Demon Clan.

It couldn't believe that it had been successfully ambushed by a human it considered beneath its notice. Its wings were entangled in the net, preventing it from exerting any strength, so it had to recall its primary Magic weapon, the bird beak.

"Hmph! You think mere Spiritual Weapons can trap me!"

Its bird beak Magic weapon was incredibly sharp and had taken countless years to refine from its own beak.

It lightly pecked at one of the ropes on the Spirit net, but the rope didn't break.

It didn't know that these ropes were formed through over two thousand years of Devilish Vine Refinement and could withstand the Refinement of Magic weapons, something it couldn't easily destroy.

Fuming, the Roc Bird used all its might to peck at the Spirit net again, this time breaking one of the ropes, then moved on to the next.

Wang Hong saw that his ambush had succeeded, but the wooden thorns on the Spirit net were blocked by the Roc Bird's tough feathers, unable to penetrate its body.

Having learned from the previous encounter when a demon core had injured him, he quickly shot several arrows at the Roc Bird, each one containing various types of poison.

Some made the Roc Bird sluggish and slowed its movements, while others were intestinal toxins or hindered the flow of Spiritual Energy.

Although these diverse toxins had a limited effect on a third-tier Demonic Beast, they weren't entirely ineffective. Wang Hong had used them successfully several times before and was quite experienced in this regard.

Now, with various toxins acting within the Roc Bird's body, its movements grew slower, and the spiritual light in its eyes dimmed.

Just as it had finally managed to create a large gap in the Spirit net to escape through, another identical net descended from above, trapping it once more, rendering it completely immobilized.

Wang Hong had quite a few Devilish Vines in his Space, and since he didn't want to sell them for Spirit Stones, he had taken the opportunity to refine several more nets when he had the time.
