Chapter Thirty: Guerrilla Tactics

  It was another dim dawn, and Long Di, who had been keeping watch, discovered that there were several magical beasts in front of him that seemed to be searching for something.

  "Captain Longge!" Although Longdi has already confirmed that Longge is now more powerful than himself, and although he doesn't know what specific level, having the ability to make him respectfully address as captain, "It seems like there's a situation!"

  "What's going on?" Long Ge poked his head out of the tent, actually every night he was basically cultivating, starting from infancy, otherwise it wouldn't be possible for him to be so much higher than his peers like Long Di, geniuses always have to rely on hard work!

  "It seems like there are several demons ahead." Longdi said.

  "It seems so," Long Ge looked at the few demons thousands of meters away, turned his head to Long Di and said "No matter what kind of demon it is, we must kill them all clean, this will delay the enemy's pursuit time for us, let us have necessary preparation."

  "Alright, I'll go take care of it." Long Di said, with a golden-grade lower-tier bow, killing a few scouting magical beasts was still quite easy!

  "Hmm, be careful, I'll go wake up Jin Zhen and Mei Gui." Long Ge said.

  "No need to call, in this desert, I don't even dare to sleep, so I'll just sit here. I find that sitting is more comfortable than sleeping!" Rose showed a brilliant smile.

  "Who said that? I'm really not used to not sleeping!" Jin Zi also came out of the tent, although he was Rose's older brother by one year, but he always feared his younger sister, it was truly strange!

  "Hehe! Getting used to it is good!" Long Ge also hoped that every team member would be like him, so their future training would progress much faster.

  "Not good!" Long Di suddenly flew back, "There were five of them, I only killed one, and accidentally let one escape!"

  "What's going on?" Jin Yu turned her head and asked Long Ge.

  "Haha, there's a better one, let it go back and report, we'll ambush them within a twenty-mile radius!" Long Ge said with a smile. Why twenty miles? Because Long Ge and the others could only confirm that there were no other monsters within this twenty-mile radius. If they ran out of this range, they might encounter not just gas-form level magical beasts, but also gas-spirit level magical beasts, at which point it would be too late to run!

  "Alright, we're listening," Long Di said.

  "Alright! Let's leave behind footprints as we move, and set traps along our route to weaken their combat strength!" Long Ge said. In fact, they could have forced a fight, but Long Ge didn't know the specific information about the enemy, so forcing a fight was not an option. From this incident on, Long Ge made up his mind to refine a tool that could observe enemy information, and also to refine a dagger of gold grade lower rank!

  Then, Long Ge and others left footprints on the "S" shaped trail, laid down quicksand arrays, explosive arrays, Bagua arrays... and so on. In short, they tried to delay the demon beast's pursuit as much as possible, then let the demon beast lose combat effectiveness during the chase, thus achieving the strategic goal of "retreating when the enemy advances".

  "Roar!" The Lion King received the report from the magic beast that ran back and hurriedly gathered all the magic beasts to pursue Longge and his party with all their might.

  After much difficulty, they ran to the Long Song's original tent, only to find that there was no one inside. However, they unexpectedly discovered human footprints left behind.

  "Roar!" The Lion King roared loudly, causing all the demons to run in the direction with footprints.

  But just after running a few steps, several monsters were caught in the quicksand array that had been laid out beforehand. The rest of the monsters hurriedly detoured and walked around, they had thousands of monsters, losing one or two was nothing to them, so they continued to track down.

  As they continued to track, they found more and more companions being buried in the yellow sand by the formation! Perhaps losing one or two of them didn't matter, losing a dozen or so didn't bother them either, but after losing a hundred or two, they began to be careful. After losing a thousand or two thousand demons, they started to become fearful. If it weren't for their fear of the Lion King's prestige, perhaps they wouldn't have dared to chase anymore.

  "We've lost a thousand or two!" thought the Lion King, "These cunning humans not only set up these traps to kill my subordinates, but also waste our time. What's even more detestable is that we can't even see one of their shadows!"

  The lion king, who had lost a thousand or two of his men, was furious, but they had been chasing for a day and hadn't seen anyone in that time. What they saw were endless hidden traps underground!

  Long Song and the three others took turns creating traps, which is why there were so many. Then they brought the demonic beasts to run around this area of about twenty miles in circumference. After a day of chasing, Long Song and Long Di were still doing alright, but Jin Zi and Mei Gui's Dou Qi had been almost completely consumed by making traps and rushing along the way. If it weren't for the Zhong Fu Dan, they would have collapsed long ago. However, consuming their Dou Qi at such a rapid rate was greatly beneficial to everyone.

  The sun sets over the dunes, and the entire sky cools down. Without the support of fire-attributed Dou Qi, the demonic beast horde finally chose to rest in place after losing 1,487 demonic beasts!

  "Haha! I bet the leader of the demonic beasts is furious!" Jin Zi said with a smile, although he had exhausted his Dou Qi, and ate another Zhong Fu Dan as he spoke.

  "Hehe, we can't even see our own shadows and yet we've lost so many magical beasts!" Rose said.

  Long Song was walking around when he returned to where the trap was set up and found many magical beasts that had been killed by the formation.

  "Hehe, you two take a rest, I'll go visit them with Long Di!" Long Ge said with a smile.

  "Visiting?" Long Di asked, then laughed and said "Isn't that your what tactic!"

  "That's right, it's the second guerrilla tactic - harassment of the enemy in our territory!" Long Ge's eyes shone with wisdom.

  "Alright! You two go ahead, I'll stay here with my brother to meditate and wait for you. Be careful, okay!" Rose's eyes shone with concern.

  "Alright, you guys set up traps around us just in case, we'll go first!" Long Ge said, then to Long Di "Let's go!"

  A chilly night was difficult for fire-attributed monsters. In order to maintain their body temperature, they huddled together and hid behind a sand dune.

  "Whoosh!" A fiery red arrow shot over, although the fire-attributed aura delighted the demonic beasts, if the fire-attributed aura was attacking them, they would be in a difficult situation!

  And now it's not just one arrow, but many! And they're flying in from multiple directions!

  Long Ge and Long Di shot arrows with great pleasure, after finishing they quickly changed places. The monsters were densely concentrated together, even if they closed their eyes to shoot, they would still hit the mark. Moreover, their bows were of a lower grade of golden equipment, ordinary monsters that got hit, combined with the explosive power of fire attributes, absolutely meant instant death!

  The monster was shot and killed, and under the Lion King's roar, the monsters looked around for the enemy's trail. However, when the monsters collectively went out to search, Long Ge and Long Di had already run far away!

  The monsters searched everywhere but couldn't find any enemies, so they had to come back and sleep together again. Otherwise, the cold sand alone would have drained their fighting spirit.

  Just as they were about to fall asleep again, Long Ge and Long Di's arrows came flying over with a fiery red glow!

  After shooting dead a dozen or so magical beasts, Long Song and Long Di quickly retreated, leaving behind the enraged magical beasts to frantically search around, but finding two people in the vast desert was extremely difficult, especially at night. Long Song and his companions could easily hide from the magical beasts' search by simply hiding in the sand.

  The demons rested again, and Long Ge and his friends came back!

  After such a disturbance for an entire night, they had disturbed them over a dozen times. By the time morning arrived, there were already over a hundred corpses of magical beasts lying on the ground!

  Long Song and Long Di have taken the strategic concept of "Enemy Entrenched, I Distract" to an extreme. One night's disturbance not only made the monsters consume a lot of energy but also made them feel in their hearts how terrifying it is that humans are invisible and cannot be caught!

  Long Song and Long Di returned to the tent, although they were also tired, but the exciting exhaustion made them not feel tired at all. After eating a big recovery pill to restore their physical strength, the "Desert Eagle" team started acting again.

  "How was it? Was the harassment successful?" Jin Zi asked.

  "Of course! Too successful!" Long Di's heart is now full of admiration for Long Ge, if he had seen Long Ge at first, his heart still had some dissatisfaction, but after so many days of experience, he admired Long Ge more and more.

  "How many monsters were killed in total?" Rose asked cautiously.

  " Including daytime, we killed over 1,500 magical beasts, but now there are still about 2,000 of them left. Among them, there is one that I couldn't scan with my spiritual power, and it's estimated to be even stronger than the last gaseous magical beast, otherwise it wouldn't have been able to bring so many magical beasts." Long Song analyzed carefully.

  "What's next?" Longdi asked.

  "What we're going to do is the same as yesterday, continue setting traps and let their numbers keep decreasing!" Long Song said, "They still have two thousand of them, now a hard fight and we're not opponents yet, wait till tomorrow, after tomorrow it's our turn to counterattack!"

  "Alright, we'll listen to you. Anyway, my brother and I have had a good rest all night, so let them come after us!" Rose said, then looked at Long Ge with some concern "Are you guys okay? You haven't rested all night."

  "It's okay, both Long Di and I are masters of the Infant Breathing Technique, don't worry." Long Ge comforted.

  "Good boy, you finally admitted it!" Long Di said with a smile.

  "Enough chit-chat, let's set up the traps quickly and get going, or we'll be caught by the monsters!" Long Ge said, hastily changing the subject.

  "Alright!" The Sand Eagle squad now listened to Long Song's words and with one sentence, everyone took action.

  Another demon beast fell into the Bagua formation, and the demon beasts on the side were chilled by the scene!

  "Roar!" The Lion King faced the invisible enemy, faced the endless traps, and faced the relentless torture day and night, helplessly and indignantly letting out a loud roar. Then, no matter how loudly he roared again, it was useless. Looking at his remaining 800 magical beasts, the Lion King began to consider retreating. This might be a very reluctant choice, but for the ineffective pursuit, he had already lost patience. However, would the "Desert Eagles" squad led by Long Ge let them leave?
