Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Fierce Battle
Naturally, the chaos beasts would not turn a blind eye to the enemies who invaded their territory, in fact, they had already discovered the existence of Liu Li and his party, after all, the sound of digging caves was still not small, especially for these demonic beasts who lived in dark caves all year round. Those more massive war beasts have long been eager to try, if it weren't for the suppression of the beast king, maybe the time for Xiao Lori to dig the tunnel can be saved, and digging on both sides at the same time is better than digging on the other.
Liu Li didn't know what adventures this Chaos Beast King had, so he was able to allow it to maintain a certain degree of restraint after being eroded by the "Chaos Element". Liu Li only saw bloodthirsty brutality in those red eyes, but there was no madness like other corrupted companions.
"Commander, how do you fight?" It was impossible for the mercenaries to see so many demonic beasts gathered here, and there was no fear in their hearts, but the dignity of being a mercenary of the Kronos Empire did not allow them to take a step back. Since the battle is inevitable, all they need to think about is what to do to kill a few more enemies.
"Double Blade, Rush into Formation!" Owen was also ruthless, since he had to rush over, then with the most decisive attitude, let these monsters see the power of the "Gray Corner". "Liu Li, Lin, the position of the blade can only be handed over to you. ”
Although Liu Li and Lin are not members of the "Gray Corner", in terms of strength, there is really nothing comparable to these two talented guys in the entire mercenary group, and Owen is helpless to arrange it this way.
"Captain Owen, you're welcome, when it comes to battle formation command, there is no better thing here than you. Liu Li didn't look back, just said calmly. Liu Li, who was "Returning" in his hand, walked to the front of the team with Lin who was wielding a heavy axe, and the shield guards led by Hill stood beside them. Other shields flanked the entire team, interspersed with warriors from the "Grey Horns", ready to respond to onslaught from the flanks. In the center of the formation were the shooters and two mid-level mages who were ready. The formation change time from beginning to end only took less than ten seconds, which shows that the elite level of these mercenaries is extraordinary, and Owen can be regarded as fighting hard this time.
The double-front formation does not refer to the rush of two people as the same arrow, but one in front and one behind, one person disrupts the opponent's impact rhythm, and the other is the one who really leads the team to charge. The position of the spoiler at the front naturally fell to Liu Li's head, although he was much inferior to Xiao Lori in terms of martial arts cultivation, but with the assistance of magic, it would not be too bad. The most important thing is that the attack range of "Return" is far from being comparable to that of a double-edged heavy axe, especially since the wielder of the weapon is still a small Lori with short arms and legs.
"That'...... I'm on. Liu Li said softly, this sentence was so soft that even Lin, who had lined up at the moment and was standing behind him, didn't hear it. The only thing that heard this was the looming shadow that followed him at the same time as Liu Li rushed out.
This world is not so peaceful, not to mention that Liu Li will inevitably go to the battlefield after the war begins. Although Squirrel has spent most of the year training in martial arts in the Elven Forest, every time he returns to Eleno City, he and Liu Li are indispensable to practice how to cooperate with each other in battle. Squirrel's fighting style determines that she is not suitable for head-on confrontation, and she can excel in precision strikes and agile dodging as an assassin, but her strength is still lacking due to her inherent limitations. After many experiments, Liu Li and the squirrel finally decided on this way of cooperating with one light and one dark. And the squirrel has become the only one who can come and go freely in the storm of the "return" dance.
The Chaos Beast King didn't expect these weak enemies to be the first to attack, and he was slightly puzzled, and it was this moment's confusion that allowed Liu Li to break through into the beast group without encountering any obstacles.
The spell had already been cast, and Liu Li did not use long-range killing spells, but attached the "Shadow Blade" to the "Return" like the first time he explored the dark cave and fought at the rest point, but this time it was more violent.
The "Return", which was more than two meters long, and the crescent moon wielded under the blessing of the "Shadow Blade-Extension" enveloped everything within a radius of five meters around Liu Li's body, and the attack range nearly doubled out of thin air under the effect of the spell. The chaotic beasts swept by the sharp blades were all fleshy and fleshy under the dual effects of martial arts and spells.
Liu Li found that these demonic beasts eroded by the "chaotic element" were even less resistant to the "shadow blade" than those ordinary shadow beasts, although they were more ferocious in their fighting methods, but the original resistance to the dark element seemed to have been attenuated a lot under the erosion of this weird red element.
The swing speed of the long-handled heavy weapon is not fast, but because of the sharp blade formed by the black element, there are not too many chaotic beasts that can break into the enveloping area of "Return", and these fish that slipped through the net are all killed under the sharp blade in the squirrel's hand. Although the length of the two daggers in the squirrel's hand is similar to the concept of a sewing needle piercing a human body for a huge Shadow Beast. But under the power of the martial art "Penetration", this kind of attack that targets the vital point with every blow, even if it does not kill them on the spot, will lead to a complete loss of combat effectiveness, and they can only lie on the ground with their dying, waiting for the end of their lives as time passes.
In just a few breaths, the combination of Liu Li and the squirrel had already broken through into the group of beasts for more than ten meters, and such a brilliant record not only stunned the shadow beasts, but even the gray-horned mercenaries who followed behind them and formed a breakthrough formation were also stunned. However, Lin, who often practiced with Liu Li, was the first to react and launched a charge with the experience of practicing with Liu Li many times, and the mercenaries who followed her also subconsciously followed the "Sharp Arrow" forward, but did not delay the fighter.
Winnie and Max, who were in the center of the formation and were very well protected, had long heard their team leader boast about the fighting style of his student Fa Wu Shuangxiu, but they didn't expect to see it with their own eyes.
Liu Li and the squirrel cooperated very tacitly, and it seemed that they had obvious advantages on the scene, but in fact, their breakthrough was not as smooth as others saw. In fact, Liu Li, who has mastered black and green spells, has not been affected too much by casting spells in this environment rich in "chaotic elements", and now this sudden form of martial arts and magic supplemented by magic is also a last resort.
Liu Li's spiritual power was not at its peak, and even before the battle began, the remaining was no more than fifty percent at most. This location was too far away from the entrance of the dark cave, and it had already consumed a lot of energy to experience large and small battles along the way, and the four mental power explorations during the excavation of the tunnel made Liu Li's mental state even worse. Although the subsequent exploration mission had been handed over to Winnie, the last black hole explosion caused his mental power to fall near the cordon again. At this moment, Liu Li only had to use the "Shadow Blade" that could last long enough to deal with the current situation. The only thing to be thankful for is that the cave exploration a few days ago, coupled with the large and small battles along the way today, made Liu Li, who had not experienced actual combat for a year, gradually regain the feeling of battle, and the "Shadow Blade", a black hole variant spell that had just been mastered recently, has become more and more handy over time.
There were not many shadow beasts that had been completely eroded by the "chaotic element", and the Beastmaster naturally couldn't watch his only men being slaughtered. With a roar, those war beasts that had long been unable to suppress their mania finally entered the battlefield.
Faced with the surprise attack of a war beast with a body length of nearly five meters and like a small mountain, the team's situation became precarious. Liu Li was caught in the tide of beasts, and the pressure was several times greater than that of the mercenaries behind him. These war beasts were too large in size, and although Liu Li could barely resist them in terms of strength, the fatal cuts that were too deep for ordinary chaos beasts to put on them were only minor injuries on their flesh and skin. Even though the slash is still extremely sharp, it often takes several swings to truly disintegrate the combat power of a war beast. The squirrel's situation was even worse than Liu Li's, even if the two daggers had the blessing of the martial art "Penetration", the depth of the wounds caused was not enough to severely damage these war beasts. The two people who broke into the enemy formation, because of the addition of these war beasts, the wounds on their bodies began to gradually increase.
"It's not a way to go on like this, squirrel, you retreat first, and by the way, tell Lin that I'm going to take my place. Liu Li knew that he had to take a break, although the battle was not long, the double consumption of physical and mental strength had made him a little unable to hold on. However, Liu Li was not willing to retreat like this, and before leaving, he had to give a wave of ruthlessness to these besieging monsters.
The movements of his hands did not stop, and Liu Li's spiritual power began to slowly mobilize, and the blue in the meditation space also flashed with a dreamlike light. From the moment she decided to learn magic, entered the meditation space for the first time, and discovered its existence, Liu Li's attention to it has never diminished in the slightest. This piece of blue that has crossed with Liu Li still maintains the characteristics of an irregular plane from any direction, and it is exactly the same no matter which direction it looks at.
It's just that since Liu Li was promoted to the second order, there have been some subtle changes in this piece of blue that seems to be eternal and unchanged. The flickering frequency is faster, the blue color is more vivid, and most importantly, its shape is getting closer and closer to the regular pentagon.
The black runes in the lower right corner of the azure blue still give people a deep and unusual feeling. And the position of the red rune that had dissipated in the eruption on the lower left, the faint red spot also showed a faint pulse in this cave rich in "chaotic elements". As Liu Li understood the green rune given by the Ancient Tree of Life more and more, some green lines similar to rattan slowly appeared on the far left side of the azure blue, but because he had not yet been exposed to the other characteristic of the green element, those entangled "rattans" did not evolve into rune trends.
Liu Li almost injected all his remaining mental power into "Return", leaving only Yicheng to deal with emergencies. The illusory blade produced by the "Shadow Blade-Extension" became more and more condensed with the injection of spiritual power, Liu Li quietly took a step back, and "Return" was held horizontally in his hand, and the scythe blade located on the back of his body emitted a black glow that chose to devour people while accumulating power.
The chaotic beasts who were besieging Liu Li couldn't help but let out an excited roar when they saw that this human who had killed countless companions finally retreated. They became even more manic under the erosion of the "chaotic elemental", but Liu Li's killing also made them frightened. And the current appearance of this human being, as if they were finally exhausted and had to retreat, the chaos beasts who thought they had seized the opportunity instantly surrounded and killed.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with the idea of the chaotic beast, Liu Li is indeed very tired, but their biggest failure is to despise Liu Li's last outburst. The scythe swept out from right to left, so fast that it was even imperceptible to swing it, and with this all-out slash, a huge crescent moon spread out from the blade of the "Regression".
As soon as the crescent moon broke away from the scythe, it expanded to a length of nearly ten meters and flew forward. Obviously, the flat and sharp crescent moon struck the chaotic beast, but it produced an effect like a blunt hammer blow, and the shadow beast hit by it rose from the ground under the force of the martial art "heavy", and even knocked away the companions behind him, and Liu Li's body was also empty under the explosion of this final blow.
Liu Li still miscalculated, and he made sure to leave one percent of his mental power in case of emergency, but he underestimated the consumption of physical strength by this attack. Liu Li, who was almost out of strength, was weak under his feet and fell backwards, but fortunately, the squirrel that came back caught him in time, allowing him to avoid the tragedy of the back of his head directly touching the ground.
Returning to the battle array, Liu Li finally had time to observe the battle situation, all he saw in front of him before was the demonic beasts surging like a tide, where could he still take care of his back. It's just that at this glance, Liu Li couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, the situation of the team is not optimistic.
