Chapter 28: When Strong Meet Strong

  As the sky was just getting light, the desert also began to change from icy cold to scorching hot.

  Long Song suddenly discovered a dense black shadow refracted in the desert!

  "It's a demon!" Long Ge shouted "Everyone get up, prepare for battle!"

  "How many monsters are there?" Longdi rushed out first "What is the highest level?"

  "I don't know yet, let's prepare first and then talk about it. If we can win, we'll fight; if not, we'll run!" Long Ge said cautiously.

  "How can you still be playing World of Warcraft after a bad sleep? Don't you want to let people live?" Jin Zi came out of the tent at this time.

  "How is it?" Rose also came out and asked.

  "Hehe, everyone will be ready for battle in a minute. It seems we're not afraid of anything either, at most we'll just run away!" Long Ge said.

  "But I hope I can show off my strength, after all, I've never fought since advancing to the Nascent Soul stage!" Long Di said.

  "Alright! Let's see your real strength!" Long Ge said.

  "Boom! Boom! Boom!" Thousands of demons surrounded the "Desert Eagle" squad in just five minutes.

  "So many!" Everyone couldn't help but gasp in unison.

  "It's a good thing we didn't stay for a few more days, or else we would have been made into targets and eaten away!" Rose glanced at Jin Zhi with an unspoken implication in her eyes!

  Jin Yi awkwardly lowered his head.

  "It's not easy to deal with so many demon beasts, because among them there is a demon beast that I can't even sense the slightest breath of!" Long Di said seriously, "This should be an air-form demon beast."

  "Haha!" Long Ge laughed loudly "What's there to be afraid of? Challenge ourselves and see how we'll become stronger when faced with strong opponents."

  I don't know how there are so many demons in the desert. Is it that they live in the desert just like fish live in water?

  The magical beasts of the Airborne level have intelligence comparable to that of adult humans, they can think and command, so he didn't attack like the Air Infant-level magical beasts in a group, but instead gave an order - all-out attack.

  "Roar!" The leopard king let out a loud roar at the level of air form, and all the magical beasts rushed up!

  "Jin Zhi and Mei Gui will take care of the infant-level demons, Long Di and I will handle the infant-level demon beasts, and the last ones will be taken care of by the Qi Xing demon beasts!" Long Ge immediately spoke up.

  "Whoosh", "whoosh", "whoosh" - one by one, the arrows flew out quickly. There were too many demons, and they didn't need to distinguish which demon was what level; every arrow hit its mark, only not quite reaching a vital spot. For Jin Zhi and Mei Gui's level of strength, it was already very difficult to discern and strike at the vitals, so they could only keep outputting firepower, trying their best to lighten Long Ge and Long Di's burden.

  Long Di is quite formidable, at least every arrow he shoots hits a gasping-level magical beast. With his gasping-level strength and golden-grade bow and arrow, it's basically one shot, one injury! Long Di's three attributes of Dou Qi are fully revealed at this time, with the gold attribute breaking defense, the fire attribute exploding, and the wood attribute helping him quickly recover Dou Qi, so these arrows are like machine guns!

  But the most terrifying thing is Long Ge, his super strong judgment ability, super strong battlefield analysis ability, and super strong observation ability make every arrow he shoots hit the monster's eyes or mouth, then the fire attribute instantly erupts, blasting the monster into pieces!

  If Jin Zhen and Mei Hua's arrows were like rifles, Long Di's arrows were like machine guns, then Long Ge's arrows would be like heavy machine guns, the kind that shoot explosive bullets.

  In just 10 minutes, Long Ge and the others had taken care of over a thousand magical beasts, but there were still more than two thousand left. At this time, the external Qi-level leopard king was still waiting patiently outside, it didn't mind losing its subordinates, what it cared about was eating those few human Qi infants to increase its power, it could find new subordinates again, but it's hard to improve its power. The more powerful humans were, the better their Qi infants would be as a supplement. Magic cores couldn't be compared with Qi infants, magic cores can't be digested, and even if they were digested, they would easily dissipate, whereas Qi infants were different, they were pure and unadulterated combinations of Dou Qi elements!

  Although it was only ten minutes, the amount of aura consumed per minute was enormous. For example, if you jog for an hour, you might not get tired, but if you sprint at a speed of 100 meters in one minute, you'll probably be exhausted. The situation with "Desert Eagle" is similar, but what they lack the least is elixirs. Not enough physical strength? Eat a Great Recovery Pill to restore 90% of your physical strength! Not enough aura? Eat a Medium Recovery Pill to restore 60% of your aura!

  So, Long Ge and the others could still hold on, but the more they ate the elixir, the less effective it became. The recovery effect was becoming increasingly unclear. Long Ge and Long Di were okay because their skills were deep and they didn't eat much of the elixir, but Jin Zi and Jin Mei weren't doing well. Now, the arrows they shot out were like jammed rifles, needing to be repaired after every shot.

  If it weren't for Long Song and Long Di's support, the demonic beasts might have already broken through the defense line and torn them apart.

  In terms of the recovery of their strength, Long Ge recovered the fastest. From start to finish, he didn't eat a single pellet of Dou Qi Dan medicine. He only ate one big return pill because he was young and his physical strength wasn't enough. On the other hand, Long Di ate five pellets of Zhong Fu Dan in total, but there were still 195 pellets left that could be eaten. Jin Zhi and Jin Mei Hua had already eaten 20 pellets, which showed how quickly their strength was being consumed. Even if they had wood attribute Dou Qi to recover, they were currently in the desert, so where would they get wood attribute Dou Qi from? So, it was no wonder that their strength was being consumed so quickly!

  As the sun rises, the desert temperature continues to rise, which is perfect for Long Song. Although he can't display too many attributes of Dou Qi, the rising temperature allows his fire attribute Dou Qi to recover very well. Every time the fire attribute energy transforms into white energy, the Air Infant absorbs a part to strengthen itself. With his feet treading on the sand, the earth attribute transforms into white energy faster and faster, so Long Song seems to have endless Dou Qi!

  Moreover, such high-intensity shooting is like a disguised training exercise. The longer you can endure it, the more obvious the training effect will be. No wonder every new student is sent here to train. This is indeed the cradle of talent cultivation! I really admire the painstaking efforts of the Imperial Academy teachers.

  Half an hour later, there were still several hundred demon beasts left. The gas-form leopard king found that humans always had endless elixirs to eat and couldn't hold back anymore, so it finally charged up.

  "I'll go first!" Long Di also went up to "No way, you go again!" He probably understood that Long Ge was stronger than him!

  Cheetah King: With a slender body and explosive power, its streamlined muscles are built for speed.

  Long Di: Just entered the Qi Infant stage, but his three-attribute Dou Qi allows him to compete with those at the Qi Forming stage.

  "Bang!" The leopard king's paw collided with Longdi's knife, and then the leopard king swung its tail with great force, whipping it towards Longdi. Longdi used his scabbard to block it, but his entire body was blown away by the massive impact.

  The leopard king in mid-air pursued the victory, opening his mouth to bite Longdi's foot. Longdi was knocked flying at a speed that was clearly slower than the leopard king's. He barely managed to pull out a shield from his spatial ring to block it.

  "Clang!" The silver-grade shield was bitten to pieces in an instant, the gas-stage leopard king's teeth were indeed not to be underestimated. Long Di took advantage of the opportunity to fall to the ground and quickly drew his bow to shoot rapidly.

  The arrow shot by the bow only hit the shadow of the leopard king, and the leopard king had already dodged to Long Di's side. With a swift tackle, it knocked Long Di to the ground. If not for the low-grade golden armor blocking the way, Long Di might have been done for.

  Long Di was defeated in just three seconds?

  "Pffft!" Long Ge drew out a silver-tier short sword and stabbed it into the leopard king's abdomen, but it was only able to penetrate two centimeters before being clamped down by the leopard king's explosively powerful muscles. The leopard king's defensive capabilities were truly abnormal! Long Di had originally planned to insert it five centimeters deep, then use his Fire Seed Explosion technique, but unfortunately, he wasn't successful.

  "Slap!" The leopard king's tail struck Long Di's shoulder, and his muscles shattered instantly. The enraged and injured leopard king was not to be underestimated! Long Di was slapped out, and with a swift motion, he threw the silver-grade weapon at the leopard king, at least stopping its pursuit!

  "Chirp" Leopard King's speed was ridiculously fast, flashing past the weapon and pouncing directly on Longdi who was rolling on the ground.

  "Dragon Song, out!" Long Di shouted! In just 15 short seconds, Long Di was defeated. Although he could have continued to fight on, there was no need to engage in a fierce battle with a magical beast until his body was crippled!

  "Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" Three arrows with orange-red auras shot towards the Leopard King, completely blocking its momentum as it pounced forward. Then, Long Di took advantage of the opportunity to get up and use his wood-attribute aura to treat the injury on his shoulder.

  "Roar!" The leopard king turned around angrily and charged towards Long Ge who had ruined his good deed.

  "Hah!" Long Ge also shouted loudly and charged forward, drawing out a silver-grade large knife. He then infused the earth and fire dual attribute Dou Qi into it. This large knife was forged by Long Ge in Long Jia Village back then, with an earth attribute magic array added inside!

  "Clang!" A clear and crisp sound came from the collision of claws and knives. Due to the defensive magic array, Long Ge's large knife did not break, but Bao Wang's thick and fierce aura rushed over violently, guessing that Long Di had suffered the same loss earlier!

  "Bang!" Long Ge kicked Panther King's belly with one foot. Although Panther King was fast, but in front of the experienced Long Ge, experience could make up for the lack of speed. Moreover, Long Ge's Water Drop Step had already been mastered, and now even if he couldn't use it, his eyes were still sharp enough!

  "Hsss!" The leopard king used his old trick again, hoping that his leopard tail could recreate the dragon's song.

  "Hiss!" Instead of a warm welcome, the leopard king was met with Long Ge's large blade. The leopard king's tail whipped back and forth fiercely on the sharp edge of the blade, the massive force almost severing its tail in two. As Long Ge's blade spun around, it chopped towards the leopard king's neck!

  "Hiss!" The Leopard King's speed was too fast, the blade could only slide over the Leopard King's steel-like fur, but that string of sparks also made the Leopard King very uncomfortable!

  "Ah!" Longdi and Jinyue, Jinmei were shocked to see Longge and the level 5 elemental beast fighting, the intensity of which was unimaginable. Even Longdi, who was at the infantile stage, was defeated in 15 seconds, while Longge not only didn't fall behind but also had the upper hand. This result left them agape! They wanted to help Longge, but the intensity of the battle was beyond their participation, and long-range archery would only cause friendly fire! Moreover, they had consumed a lot of energy after killing the infantile elemental beasts, so they were recovering, hoping to have the opportunity to help Longge.

  "Hah!" Long Ge let out a loud shout, and with a swift motion of his knife, he stabbed directly at the abdomen of the Leopard King. The abdomen was the Leopard King's weakest spot. Could Long Ge defeat the fifth-level Leopard King with just a fourth-level Qi Infusion?
