Chapter 21: Raising the ante
The young man who had shot at Xiao Qiang earlier had a shocked look on his face, and he was about to scold and swallowed back the words raw. Xiao Qiang can defeat Cui Dameng, the strongest sixth heaviest in one move, so it's not like playing to beat himself? It seems that Xiao Qiang was already merciful just now!
Everyone in the audience has long known Xiao Qiang's "great achievements", and many of them are still personal experiencers, looking at Xiao Jing'an's expression at this moment, they all snickered in their hearts.
With the strong rise of Xiao Qiang, their psychology has also undergone subtle changes, in the past, they might have felt that Xiao Jing'an scolded just now, but now, they all feel that Xiao Jing'an is very excessive!
Xiao Jing'an quickly came back to her senses, pursed her lips, and said disdainfully: "The strongest is only a seventh level, what's so great, in front of elite disciples, it's nothing!"
This is said to be extremely arrogant, although everyone in the audience is not angry, but when I think that the eldest sister is a master of the Yunling Realm, people are indeed qualified to say so.
Situ Yuan's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he returned to the topic: "Senior sister, it's still the previous agreement, within ten days, whoever hunts the most demonic beasts and has the highest level will win, right?"
Xiao Jing'an nodded reservedly: "The winning conditions remain the same, in addition to winning three spirit pills and five million gold coins, I will add one more!"
Everyone exclaimed, the elixir is an elixir that is difficult for elite disciples to eat, it is three at a time, and this is not all, there is even a bet of five million!
Situ Yuan frowned slightly and asked, "What conditions?"
Xiao Jing'an glanced at Xiao Qiang coldly, and said proudly: "The losing side must kneel and salute the winning side!"
Situ Yuan's face changed, and the other four members of the team showed angry expressions, and they all glared at Xiao Jing'an.
This is a provocation, Chi Guoguo's provocation, which elite disciple doesn't take face too big as the sky, and it doesn't matter if he loses, but kneeling and saluting can be regarded as the ultimate insult!
This Xiao Jing'an's small-bellied chicken intestines are thought to vent the resentment against Xiao Qiang just now on the Situ team.
"Why, I'm afraid, if I'm afraid, I can directly admit defeat. Xiao Jing'an raised her chin proudly and let out a mean laugh.
In the Situ team, the silent female assassin suddenly spoke, and said with a serious face: "What's the point of just kneeling, not only to kneel, but also to kowtow thirty times!"
Everyone was in an uproar again, the big show was so beautiful before it officially started, and the two sides were in a hurry.
Xiao Jing'an paused for a moment, as if she had no impression of the female assassin in front of her, and it didn't matter, she nodded at the moment: "Since your Situ team has no opinion, then our Xiao team has no opinion either!"
"It's a deal!"
"It's a deal!"
The two teams no longer exchanged words, sorted out their equipment, and set off towards the Valley of Warcraft.
"Triumph!"
"Triumph!"
As always, the disciples of Sanjian Town collectively chanted and marched for the team.
The Warcraft Trial Area is extremely dangerous, even elite disciples often die in the forest, as long as they can come back alive, they are all victors!
Xiao Qiang and his entourage walked out of the Shanmen Canyon, and after crossing the two mountain beams, there was a dense primeval forest in front of them, and that was the Warcraft area.
"Xiao Qiang, once the three of you are injured, you will either quit directly or continue to follow us, but we will not be distracted to take care of you, you know?" On the way, Situ Yuan solemnly explained to Xiao Qiang and the others.
"The income from the road is your reward, and we will also distribute all the magic crystal nuclei we have captured to you afterwards, but remember, we must not affect our actions because of this, you know?" Situ Yuan's tone was even more stern this time, obviously he had encountered unruly logistics personnel before.
"The most important point, when the battle starts, you are not allowed to participate in the battle," Situ Yuan finished speaking, and looked at Xiao Qiang, "Xiao Qiang, since you have the strength of the seventh layer, I will give you a password when necessary, and you can properly interfere with the demonic beasts, but you must remember that you must wait for my password!"
It's a matter of life and death, Xiao Qiang and the three of them heard it very clearly, and the outer disciples of the two backpacks understood at this time, no wonder Xiao Qiang didn't use a backpack, it turned out that he was "entrusted with a heavy task"!
Xiao Qiang was also a little nervous, how did he feel like an old bird taking a newcomer to a dungeon?
Walking into the secluded primeval forest, the light dimmed in an instant, and the sound of poisonous insects crawling in the depths of countless dark bushes made people's scalps tingle.
Xiao Qiang was a little tired and gasped a few times, but he attracted Situ Yuan's surprised gaze, and the other four team members showed disappointed expressions.
Xiao Qiang's breath is uneven, this is by no means a seventh-level reaction, it can only show one point, that is, Xiao Qiang's psychological quality is too poor!
Originally, they still had a little expectation of Xiao Qiang, but now they are completely disappointed, they are really disciples of the outer room, they are useless!
Xiao Qiang was very aggrieved in his heart, he couldn't say that he had a piece of dark iron weighing 1,200 catties tied to his body, right? !
Geocentric iron is an iron ore that can only be collected from the lowest level of the earth's crust, and because it is subjected to high pressure all year round, it is small in size and very dense.
The same large piece of dark iron weighs dozens of times more than other steel!
Xiao Qiang was carrying two large pieces on his back at the moment, one piece was six hundred catties, and it was very convenient to disassemble, so he brought it out in this trial.
The other two logistics were carrying backpacks of more than 200 catties, and when they heard Xiao Qiang's wheezing, they showed a disdainful expression, deliberately quickened their pace, raised their heads and walked past Xiao Qiang.
Suddenly, a terrible scream of a demonic beast came from afar, and everyone was shocked and stopped.
Situ Yuan said calmly: "Team Xiao has already succeeded, and our speed will also be accelerated!"
A few miles ahead, a clearing appeared in the forest, and a cold aura emanated from the soil, and Xiao Qiang couldn't help but feel excited.
Roar!
In a sunken earth pit, a huge demonic beast woke up, slowly raised its body, and looked at the Situ team with cold eyes like electricity.
"Ghost-faced Ice Tiger?!" Situ Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, his heart slowly sinking.
He didn't expect that the first Demonic Beast they encountered would be a Rank 3 Demonic Beast!
The third-level demonic beast, the ghost-faced ice tiger, has already walked out of the dirt pit at this moment, its body is more than four meters long and more than two meters high, its tendons and flesh are covered with black and white stripes, and the tiger's face is also black and white, as if wearing a terrifying mask, which makes people shudder.
"Array!" Situ Yuan ordered loudly, and at the same time took off the round shield from behind him.
The two warriors strode forward, drew their big swords from behind them, and urged the spiritual power in their bodies, and the big swords were suddenly wrapped in a layer of dazzling red light.
The two Assassins stood at the back of the formation, one left and one right, bows raised, the other on their shoulders, ready to draw arrows from their quivers.
The samurai rushed forward, the physician Situ was far in the center, the assassin was dragging behind, and the five of them took their positions, maintaining their formation, and advancing step by step in the direction of the ghost-faced ice tiger.
Xiao Qiang and the others had long been far away, each hiding behind a big tree, nervously watching the team move forward.
He finally understood why Situ Yuan let them hide away, these five people had a clear division of labor and a tight formation, which could be said to have brought the characteristics of the four attributes to the extreme.
The four attributes of the Tianyin Continent, the wind attribute can bless the speed, and the agility is elegant, so the two assassins are both wind attributes, and the wood attribute is good at healing and dispelling various negative states, so as a physician who responds, and the attack power of the water and fire attributes is the strongest, so they are mostly samurai, and they are at the forefront.
In such a formation, there is no place for anyone else at all, if Xiao Qiang rushes over to help, it will only disrupt their formation, which is purely adding chaos!
When the samurai was less than thirty meters away from the tiger, the female assassin in the rear bent the bow and pulled the string, and with a whoosh, a sharp demon-breaking arrow flew out like lightning and headed towards the ghost-faced tiger.
The battle is on!
The ghost-faced ice tiger was already on guard, and with a snap of its front paws, it knocked out the flying arrows, opened its bloody mouth, and let out a roar!
Its body was shrouded in blue mist, and the click of ice sounded, and in an instant, ice crystals condensed from the outside of the Ghost-faced Tiger's body, and the ice crystals were spliced together into a pair of armor in an instant, and the sunlight falling from the crown of the tree shone on the armor, and the ice armor flashed with a beautiful colorful luster.
The female assassin fired another arrow, screeching at the Ghost-Faced Tiger's armor, sending up a cloud of blue ice and the arrow being bounced aside.
"Steady, steady!" the two advancing warriors kept muttering, and when they approached the ghost-faced tiger, the two suddenly roared angrily, and the two-handed swords were shrouded in a thick red light, turning into two chains of fire, and slashing towards the tiger's head like thunder.
Enraged, the Ghost-faced Tiger let out another tiger roar, its claws spread out, and its tail danced like a whip, whirring and charging at the two samurai.
The two samurai cooperated very tacitly, and when there was a gap between one side, the other side would fill the loophole in time, forcing the ghost-faced tiger back many times.
"Seal!"
The young warrior roared angrily, and the two-handed swords more than four feet long in their hands were full of red light, and the tumbling sword light was almost connected, forming a red wall of fire ten meters wide, sealing the fierce impact of the ghost-faced ice tiger.
Fortunately, they are all fire attributes, and the spiritual power released can resist the impact of cold air, otherwise they would have been frozen a long time ago.
Situ Yuan, the physician in the center, is extremely agile in his movements, wielding a spirit wand to bless his companions with physical strength or dispel the thin ice from the samurai's body.
Because the samurai want to maintain the depth of the formation, they must be at the front and the most dangerous, so even if they get a second of blessing, it is enough to affect the victory or defeat, and even life and death!
Situ Yuan's spirit wand is not a mess, he must find the right time, otherwise it will not only not relieve the fatigue of his teammates, but will interfere with the rhythm of his teammates' attacks.
The two assassins dragged at the back kept moving laterally, and sharp arrows passed through the gap between the two samurai, forming a suppression of the ghost-faced ice tiger, greatly relieving the samurai's pressure.
The five people performed their duties, cooperated tacitly, and firmly controlled the rhythm on the field, and for a while, the third-level demonic beast was tied!
Directly in front, two young warriors were almost crazy, desperately suppressing the ice tiger, one of them was careless, and his arm was frozen by the cold air that the ice tiger spewed out of his mouth, and he was frightened, and hurriedly roared: "Solution!"
