Chapter 20: The Road of the Strong
"Someone up ahead?" Zheng Qian, who was speeding all the way, stopped and warned him.
"Boss?" An excited voice came from the grass taller than a man. I saw a burly figure holding a meteor hammer jumping out of the grass.
"Big bear! Huang Fei! What about the others? Yang Lingyun asked in surprise when he saw Huang Fei who was following Xiong Da closely behind him and came out of the grass.
"We were both lucky enough to be teleported here together. Hearing the sound of fighting not far away, we hid here, preparing to ambush a wave. I didn't expect to be discovered by this kid, we can find it so deep hidden, it's amazing. While Xiong Da introduced the situation of the two of them to Yang Lingyun, he did not forget to praise Zheng Qian, who was standing aside and found that it was a friend and not an enemy.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Zheng Qian, who temporarily joined our team, serving as our pathfinder scout. With him, we can avoid a lot of detours. Yang Lingyun also introduced Xiong Da and Huang Fei's positions in the team to Zheng Qian.
"Brother Xiong, Brother Huang. This is not a place for storytelling, and if you look at the smoke in the sky around you, it must be a forest fire ignited by a magical explosion during the battle. Zheng Qian saluted Xiong Da and the two, and then pointed to more than ten sky-high beacon fires around him, indicating that this place was not a safe place.
Zheng Qian was right. This place should not be long. Let's join the rest of our teammates. Yang Lingyun nodded to everyone and motioned for Zheng Qian to continue exploring the path.
On the road of less than a kilometer, under the leadership of Zheng Qian, the encounters of several teams were successfully avoided. Not only Yang Lingyun was full of praise, but even Xiong Da and the two were full of praise. Otherwise, they will inevitably have a fight, although they are not afraid of the other party, but the longer they delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for their teammates who have not yet met.
Two men on a low hill looked anxiously at the six people staring at the bottom of the mountain, only to see that two corpses had fallen down the mountain, obviously the partners of the six people. The two people on the mountain saw each other's breathing and attacked the mountain again, and the man with a bow and arrow secretly used his soul power, and his eyes were firmly fixed on the few people who moved up the mountain below.
"Hey, these people have a long memory, and they know how to hide from Grandpa Li's magic arrow." The man with the bow and arrow adjusted his breathing until the soul power gathered at the tip of the arrow and it was difficult to gather any more. I saw a cold-faced man beside him chanting words in his mouth, and as countless sparks converged, a flame that was constantly compressed jumped on top of the arrows that were drawn with bowstrings. Suddenly, the scorching flames danced on the tips of the arrows made of black iron soul crystals, like fangs that devoured people.
"Whew!" The arrows whistled like lightning, and when the people who bent down and deliberately hid at the bottom of the mountain heard the sound, they all immediately lay down and did not dare to move. But the angle of the arrow was very tricky, and it was shot parallel to the grass and the hillside.
"Ugh!" A man in a robe who was about to lie down held an arrow through his neck in disbelief. He didn't have time to say his last words, but with the explosion of a flame, his entire head was blown apart. The flames rushed to the hands of the people around them, and they were all busy extinguishing the scorching flames on their bodies.
"Whew!" The sound of bowstrings, which could be heard hundreds of meters away, frightened the faces of several people down the mountain.
"Ahh My leg! A man in heavy armor wails over his thigh, which has been pierced by a sharp arrow. Before he could pull out the sharp arrow, the flames on the arrow exploded again like **. Immediately, the man wearing heavy armor was seriously injured, and he saw that he would not live long.
"This person is a special arrow made of soul crystals, which can penetrate the body protection energy and directly affect the human body. Forget it, there is still terrible fire magic on the arrows. Being able to attach fire magic to arrows is a great way to control soul power. ”
Four people hiding behind a boulder dragged the seriously injured man over. One of the older men sighed. If it weren't for the fact that he felt that there was an opportunity, he thought that the eight of them would be able to easily cover up the other two people. led people to chase for several miles, but two people were killed. At this time, two people were lost again, and they fell into a dilemma.
"I'm going to kill them to avenge my brother!" A man in light armor said through gritted teeth.
"Alas, it's a pity we don't have a giant shield with us, and we don't have ranged attacks. This man's arrows are not missing, and the angles are tricky. Even with heavy armor, weak spots can be found hundreds of meters away. What a natural pair of eagle eyes! The elder man's words suddenly made the remaining few people unable to think of continuing to retaliate. Whoever told them to be nameless, but fell to such an end.
"Do you want to give up?" The man in light armor asked unwillingly.
"Not necessarily, they don't have as many recovery drugs as we brought. It must be difficult to support such a number of unleashed skills. Now it's only a hundred meters away, and you can cross it in a breath. They're not good at close combat, so we'll have to fight again. They will rush forward separately and together, just use their strongest skills to kill with one hit. After all, the older man had a lot of experience, and he quickly saw the weakness of the two men on the mountain.
"Ampere, how many times do you have enough magic to do it?" The young man with the giant bow looked at the man with a tired look and asked.
"I can cast two flare bombs with my mana, but it takes too much effort to compress the flare bombs, and it's hard for me to add flare bolts to your bow and arrows." The man in the fiery red robe cheered up and said.
"My Concentration Strike and Eagle Eye skills don't consume much mana, and they also require a huge amount of stamina. There are four more people on the other side, and I can deal with two at most. Your mage's physique is too weak, and you will try your best to protect yourself, and after I try my best to kill one more person, if you don't have a chance, you can escape. Find the boss to avenge me. The man with the bow and arrow stared downward, his gaze seeking through the four people down the hill as if he were piercing a boulder. The eyes that looked at death as if he were at home made his blazing eyes shine brightly.
"Li Kai, we've only known each other for a few hours. You're starting to live and die? Don't forget, we still have teleportation scrolls to get out of here. Don't fight to the death with them. Ampere couldn't understand that the highest-ranking man in this team was so fierce that he didn't even open the scroll and escaped.
"Hmph, what is the reason for your strength when I was twenty years old to cultivate to the Silver Stage? As an archer and warrior, you must have the momentum of not moving like a mountain and the idea of seeing death as home. The strong will always grow up in the tempering of blood and fire. If I run away, I will forever plant the seed of cowardice in my heart. Even if he survives, this life is getting farther and farther away from the road of the strong. For me, there is only standing to die, not kneeling. ”
A scorching spark emanated from Li Kai's eyes, and an indomitable momentum emanated. Even Ampere, who had been a little shaken on the side, gradually calmed down. At this critical juncture of life and death, Ampei felt that the bottleneck of soul power that had been stagnant began to move, and there was a faint momentum of breakthrough. This made him somewhat understand why the man next to him was younger than himself, but he was able to touch the threshold of the golden rank at this age.
"It's not easy for you to cultivate magic to such a level. Of all the people I've met, you're the first one who can compress your soul power and control form. The future is limitless, and there is no need to accompany me to death. I live for my word, and why are you? Li Kai saw that Ampere had no intention of leaving, and asked with a flash of light in his eyes.
"For the sake of you, a friend worth making, do you think this reason is enough?" Ampere looked at Li Kai, the two looked at each other and smiled, and then their eyes were still firmly fixed on the situation below.
"Shall we eat the elixir given by the boss?" Ampere suddenly suggested.
"The biggest loss we have is stamina, the loss of mana is not much, and taking the elixir has little effect on us. But if you don't eat it at this time, it will only be cheaper for the person on the other side at that time. Li Kai remembered Yang Lingyun's explanation of the effect of the elixir, and was a little amazed at the effect of the elixir, but unfortunately the stamina value that needed to be replenished the most at this time could not be recovered.
Just as the two of them were about to take the elixir, two of the four people hiding under the mountain suddenly ran out from the left and right directions. Seeing the movement below, Li Kai did not act rashly. Although the bowstring had been fully drawn by him, he was still staring in the direction of the boulder. He knew that the real attack wouldn't be the person running in both directions trying to attract the attacker. He's waiting, waiting for the other party's real killer weapon to come out. Use your strongest arrow to pierce the opponent's strongest shield.
"Sure enough!" I saw a man jump on a boulder and shoot a ball of magic power up the mountain, followed by another man in light armor jumping behind him, stepping on his shoulder and jumping into the air. The distance of nearly 100 meters actually jumped by nearly half in an instant under his strength. Listening to the angry roar in the air, Li Kai's cold eyes met the gaze of the man in the air, bursting into a fierce cremation. Ignoring the flying magic ball, Li Kai's fingers loosened, and a little cold light flew away. Passing through the gap where the opponent raised his knife to block, the sharp arrow easily penetrated the opponent's throat.
"Be careful!" Ampere controlled the flame projectile with little soul power and flew towards the opponent's full mana ball.
"You want to fight me with just this little soul power? That's the skill I unleashed with triple my soul power. Watching the fist-sized flame bullet meet the mana ball the size of his basin, the man controlling the mana ball on the boulder down the mountain sneered. He had already anticipated the image of the mana ball bouncing away the opponent's skills and killing the hateful archer.
Just as the two magic bolts were about to collide, the flame bomb suddenly exploded, and the explosive energy generated shook the magic ball, and the rapid speed suddenly stagnated. Under the stunned expression of the man at the foot of the mountain, the magic ball grazed Li Kai's body and hit the stone behind him, bringing a piece of stone chips to fly. A huge crater tens of meters wide appeared on the top of the mountain.
At the moment when the man on the boulder was stunned, a sharp arrow pierced his skull, taking away his unwilling life, and there was still an expression of disbelief on his face. There are still people in this world who can control magic so terrifyingly. If magic is compared to **, then the other party is the remote control that can be controlled, and the other person is uncontrollable**. The same power, but with different results. Before the man died, he seemed to have made a new breakthrough in the control of magic power. It's a pity that his cultivation path has come to an end.
The two people who were outflanked by the mountain suddenly let out a frightened roar. Just as they were about to rush to the top of the mountain to attack Li Kai and the others dozens of meters away, a ghostly figure appeared behind them. I saw that between the short blades flying, a good big head flew up. The other man turned and ran away like a ghost, and a clown box suddenly jumped out from under his feet. Dominated by fear, he involuntarily turned his head and ran away with his eyes glazed, but found that his feet were as difficult to move as lead.
The ghostly figure that had slain his companion reappeared behind him, briefly revived by the sting of the short blade, before an infinite darkness enveloped him.
"Boss!" Li Kai was the first to see Yang Lingyun who appeared, after seeing his terrifying skills and ghostly skills. A heartfelt and sincere shout blurted out, which was a respect for the strong. This world is a world where the strong are respected.
