I was also overjoyed. It seemed that the problem had been easily solved. Here, the mutated creatures distributed were black maggots, worms, and jumping bee centipedes. These four types of creatures had formed a mixed group according to a certain ratio. I roughly estimated that the black maggots made up about 20% of all mutated creatures. This way, my killing sword qi could be used to attack the black maggots without worrying about the lack of follow-up power. After all, my killing sword qi could be controlled by my own will and only be used against the black maggots that appeared.
"Alright, since Constellation already has a way to continue killing monsters efficiently!”"We have the greatest guarantee of completing the mission!" Long Xin continued.”
"Yes!" Long Qi nodded slowly." To be honest, I was still a little worried when you accepted so many missions yesterday. After all, this isn't the Skeleton Cave!"”
"Haha!" Long Zhan smiled and said," Stars are here, guys. When have they ever disappointed us?"”
"This way, we can cultivate and complete the mission at the same time.”"It's a pity that I didn't bring many Dongbao," Long Xin said with some regret.”
"Yes!" "Isn't there a lot of Dongbao waiting to be hired at Fragrant Grass Farm? I think I'll just go down and hire a few tomorrow."”
"Alright then." Long Xin said," That's what we were planning. After all, we don't know how efficient we are at killing monsters, so we can't arrange a suitable number of people for Dongbao. Let's practice this afternoon."”
"However! Looking at the situation here, it seemed like he didn't have to think about luring monsters to the stars like he did in the Skeleton Cave!”Long Zhan sized up the densely packed group of mutated creatures in the center of the field."The density of monsters here is much higher than in the Skeleton Cave.”
"Then let's get to work!" "Let's see the difference between the four of us and Constellation," Long Xin suggested.”
"Good idea." Long Zhan said excitedly.
"Then let's begin." Long Qi was also eager to try.
"Haha!" I said proudly,"Then you have to work hard. Don't be pulled too far away by me."”
"Humph." " Don't be so smug," Long Xin said unwillingly." When we find a suitable method, we might not be any worse than you."”
"Just you wait and see." Long Zhan said.
Jin Hong continued to be speechless. It seemed that he was still not used to the way we interacted.
"Golden Rainbow." Long Qi pulled Jin Hong who was still in a daze,""Cheer up. Now, the four of us are going to show that guy how powerful we are.”
"Therefore, we have to think of a way to kill the monsters to the greatest extent!。”Long Zhan's expression was solemn. It seemed that he also took this victory and defeat very seriously."There's no hope for Sui Ran to surpass that guy, but if he's too far behind, he'll still look down on him.”"Does anyone have any good ideas?"”
"I'm just a Taoist priest." "Their attack power can't be compared to a Warrior Mage's," Jin Hong said weakly.”
"I know that." Long Qi pondered for a while,"What level is your Skeleton Summoning skill?"”
"Ah!" "I reached level two not long ago."”
"Level 2?" Long Qi muttered to himself,"The level is indeed a little low, but I can barely make do with it."”
"What's wrong?" Long Xin looked at Long Qi curiously,"Don't tell me you have some ideas."
"Yes." Long Qi nodded." Didn't we see the group outside using the Triangular Killing Formation when we came in just now?"”
"So what?" Long Zhan did not understand.
"I think we can also use a triangular killing formation.”Long Qi voiced his thoughts.
"Triangular Killing Formation?" The other three were even more confused."I'm just a warrior, how can I form a triangular killing formation?”"You can't be muddle-headed from being anxious, right?" Long Zhan said unhappily.”
"Alright!" "Let's hear what Long Qi has to say first."”
"Long Zhan is right!" Long Qi continued," He's just a Warrior, so it's impossible for him to form a triangular killing formation. However, if we add my skeletons and Golden Rainbow's skeletons, we can form a triangular killing formation. Although its power definitely can't compare to the triangular killing formation we saw just now, it's the fastest way we can think of to kill monsters.”
"Yes!" Long Zhan pondered for a moment." Indeed, if you add two skeletons, you can form a triangular killing formation that focuses on close combat. However!”Long Zhan's expression appeared somewhat strange.""It's really a little difficult for me to form a triangular killing formation with two skeletons!.”
"Alright, stop complaining!" "I think this is the best method we can use," Long Xin said unhappily.”
"I didn't say I didn't agree." Long Zhan had an aggrieved expression.
"You talk too much." "Then let's get started," urged Long Xin.”Long Xin said as she took out her magic clock."It's twelve o'clock now. Turn the automatic timer to eighteen o'clock. Let's see the results of our cultivation in the past six hours.”
En!
Following that, Long Xin and the other three found a suitable position and stood properly. Long Qi and Jin Hong's two skeletons were also summoned and formed an isosceles-triangle formation with Long Zhan. As for Long Xin, she naturally stood behind the triangular killing formation.
"We are ready!" Long Xin said.
"I can start anytime." I lightly shook the Hundred-battle Saber in my hand. I was full of confidence.
"Begin!" Long Xin shouted and then threw a bolt of lightning.
Naturally, I didn't stop. I brandished my Hundred-battle Saber and charged into the group of monsters closest to me.
For a moment, the originally noisy cave was filled with many discordant notes. The sound of blades cutting through the air, the sound of lightning striking down, the crisp sound of blades cutting through bodies, and the screams of the mutated creatures before their deaths. In addition to the bloody mist and the bloody scene of limbs flying, it was enough to turn it into a strange and terrifying Asura slaughterhouse. To be honest, I wasn't used to this scene at the start. Compared to the Skeleton Warriors in the Skeleton Cave, the mutated creatures here were more fleshly. Thus, the visual and auditory impact of killing them was unbearable. Moreover, they were all killed by my extremely fast and sharp saber technique. Moreover, he killed a large number of them. However, this discomfort only lasted for an hour. After that, he felt numb.
At this moment, I moved my blade like the wind, shuttling back and forth between the dense group of monsters as if I had entered a no-man's land. It was almost the same as when he was in the Cave of Skeletons. The only difference was that he only needed to pay a little attention to the movements of the black maggots. When the black maggots appeared, he just needed to slash out the killing sword qi at the right time. In addition, the density of monsters here was so high that I didn't even have time to spare. My hands could only hold the knife and do mechanical waving movements. He didn't even have the time to check on Long Xin and the others.
On the other side, Long Xin and the others were also in an intense battle. They were standing at a corner, but because of a few protruding stones, they formed a small position that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Long Zhan and the two Little Skeletons were also constantly waving the axes in their hands. All the mutated creatures that were attracted by Long Xin's lightning spell, Long Qi, and the Golden Rainbow Soul Fire Talisman were quickly wiped out. Not long after, they were surrounded by a small mountain of mutated creature corpses. However, when they saw the large number of animal corpses left behind by Constellation on the other side, they shook their heads helplessly.
"This guy still loves to show off." Long Zhan gritted his teeth and said in a bad mood, but the axe in his hand subconsciously increased the speed of his chopping.
"" Jin Hong was completely speechless. Only now did he know how terrifying that little guy called Xingchen was. In just an hour, there were already about 10,000 mutated creature corpses around that guy. The four of them had formed a killing squad of about a thousand.
"My god, his efficiency in killing monsters alone is actually ten times that of the four of us working together.”"Is this guy still human?" Jin Hong muttered to himself.”
“...”Long Xin, Long Qi, and Long Zhan were also speechless. They were busy with their own work. They were already numb to that inhuman guy.
Inside the cave, the massacre continued.
Five hours later!
The surroundings were silent because there were no monsters in the cave that could move.
"So fast, they're all killed!" Long Qi looked at the densely packed monster corpses in front of him, seemingly unsatisfied.
"That guy!" Long Zhan looked at the other side, Star who was sitting dejectedly on a rock, and said gloatingly,""He gets tired sometimes too."
"Haha!" Long Xin smiled in satisfaction." We have to bring Dongbao's mercenaries here as soon as possible. There are 50,000 monster corpses here. If we collect all of them, we'll get at least 5,000 gold coins!"”Long Xin's eyes flashed with a chilling light. This little girl did not care about losing to that perverted fellow from Constellation. Instead, she was thinking about how to quickly convert the corpse in front of her into gold coins.
"This guy!" Long Zhan glared at the distant Star very unwillingly.""I really lost to him."
"The difference is too great." Jin Hong stared at the scene in front of him in disbelief. Indeed, the four of them had worked hard to achieve great results. However, after five hours of hard work, they had only managed to clear out a corner of the battlefield. Compared to the large number of monster corpses that covered almost the entire cave, the small corner was indeed a bit of an eyesore. However, from the expressions of Long Xin and the other two, there did not seem to be any expression of defeat.
Heavens, what kind of monsters did he encounter? A gang leader who was greedy for money, a sinister man who was full of evil ideas. At least in Jin Hong's opinion, Long Qi was like this. There was also a small man who was even more abnormal. The only normal one should be that big bald man. Jin Hong was secretly worried about his future. He didn't know if he would become abnormal after staying with these guys for a long time.
It was already 17:30! In the cave, it didn't matter whether it was day or night. Because there were magic lamps around the cave, we could only habitually arrange our work and rest according to the time displayed by the magic clock.
After finding a relatively clean place, we began to look for dinner. In order not to waste any more time, we didn't plan to leave the centipede cave, at least until we finished our cultivation. Therefore, Long Xin's spatial bag was filled with all kinds of things and necessities. At least enough food for us to stay here for a month. As for the tents for sleeping and the tables for eating, they are of course indispensable. What we didn't expect was that this kid Jin Hong could actually cook such a good dish. Even Long Xin, who has always been known for her culinary skills, couldn't compare to him.
Originally, it was just a few pieces of dried meat and vegetables, but after being processed by Jin Hong's skillful hands, they were actually complete in color, fragrance, and taste. It made the few of us cry out in joy that the heavens had opened their eyes. We actually picked up such a rare treasure, and it even delivered itself to our doorstep.
After dinner, we felt that our strength had recovered a lot, so we continued to move deeper into the cave. Soon, we found another place full of monsters and no one was cultivating. We began the next round of cultivation.
I am still the same. I am able to move through thousands of troops, go alone, and achieve great results. Long Xin's team of four continued to focus on their coordination and cooperation. They guarded a small corner of the battlefield and used their nibbling tactics to harvest the lives around them. Although the results of the four of them weren't as impressive as mine, this was already the limit of what the four of them could achieve.
On the battlefield, I brandished the Hundred-battle Saber in my hand. At the same time, I was also repeatedly thinking about my combat skills and what areas I needed to improve. To be honest, ever since I encountered the half-beast commander in Wilma Forest, it was a huge blow to me. Facing such a powerful half-beast commander, I had no choice but to flee. Although my speed was extremely fast, and even a half-beast commander would not be able to surpass me in terms of speed, against its powerful Dou Qi protection, my sword attacks were unable to even injure its body. This was a heavy blow to me. In the past few days, I had been thinking about it all the time. In the future, if I were to face such an opponent, what should I do? Last time, I was lucky and found a chance to escape. However, I know that luck can't be used as food. Sooner or later, I will encounter a tough battle that I can't avoid. I have to find a way to deal with this type of opponent.
In the end, I could only conclude that my attack power was not enough. Yes, according to the game, my attack speed was indeed not slow, but my attack power was insufficient. I couldn't even break through the opponent's defense. Although my attack power was already shockingly high against warriors of the same level, my attack power was not enough against a Red Moon Warrior with an almost abnormal amount of combat energy.
How to increase his attack power! Strengthening it to a new level had become the top priority now. It seemed like he had to adjust his attack technique. After thinking about it for a long time, I decided to change my attack method. I no longer simply dodged or moved to avoid their attacks. Instead, I adopted a head-on method similar to Long Zhan's to deal with the dense monster horde. I knew that whether I wanted to or not, I had to get used to this kind of battle where strength was the deciding factor. Although I might not use this kind of attack method in actual combat, I had to get used to this kind of collision of strength and high-intensity attacks in my cultivation.
Having made up my mind, I consciously slowed down my movement technique and footwork. After killing a group of worms, centipedes, and jumping bees, the remaining black maggots rushed over like a gust of wind.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
After four consecutive attacks of sword qi, the four black maggots at the front exploded and died on the spot. There was only one left. However, I didn't release my sword qi to kill it again. Instead, I met its momentum and slashed down viciously.
Bang! Just as I expected, the powerful recoil almost caused my Hundred-battle Saber to slip out of my hand. However, I was already prepared. I followed the momentum of the reversal of the saber's momentum and made an arc. Once again, I slashed heavily on the hard shell of the black maggot's body.
Bang! It was the same explosion as the last time. The only difference was that this time, the black maggot was knocked back by about three meters, and I was also knocked back a few steps by the backlash of the violent collision.
He! He! My two hands that were holding the blades felt like they were about to collapse. Even now, they were still trembling slightly. To be honest, those two blades were my strongest physical attacks. Unfortunately, they were still unable to penetrate the black maggot's armor. This made me feel powerless and depressed.
Whoosh, the black maggot that was knocked back once again rolled its black body and quickly charged over. I didn't have any intention of retreating and immediately went up to meet it. Actually, my goal was very simple, which was to kill the black maggot without using my sword aura. If I could break through the black maggots 'defenses with my physical attacks, then my attack power would undoubtedly reach a new height. In this process, I chose to fight the black maggots head-on to adapt to the powerful impact of the maggots. I don't think there's any opponent more suitable for strength training than the black maggots. Whether it's defense, attack, or speed, they're all extremely high. Moreover, its attacks were wave after wave of continuous attacks, which was very challenging.
In the following battle, I was considered to have exhausted my energy. I was forced back by the black maggot's attacks time and time again. Although I was also forced back by the powerful impact of the black maggot, and my hands were numb, I gradually got used to the feeling of charging forward and attacking fiercely.
On the other side, Long Xin's team of four was still maintaining their efficient coordination and harvesting the lives of the surrounding mutated creatures. Xing Chen's strange behavior still caught their attention.
"What is Xingchen doing?" "Why don't we use the Sword Qi?" Long Xin was puzzled.”
"Yes, I am!" Jin Hong said.
“..”Long Zhan looked at Xingchen's somewhat messy footsteps and slightly trembling hands as if he understood something."I think he wants to change his way of fighting.”
"Yes!" Long Qi had a thoughtful look on his face."It seems that Constellation wants to adapt itself to high-intensity combat.”
"Strange?" " It could have been killed with a single sword qi attack," Jin Hong muttered." Why did you have to go through so much trouble? And why did you have to be so battered by the black maggots?"”
"Looks like Constellation wants to become more well-rounded.”Long Zhan thought for a long time before understanding Xingchen's intentions.
................
In the following cultivation, I have been subconsciously training my ability to resist high-intensity frontal attacks. At the same time, he could kill the black maggots without using his sword aura. However, during the eight hours of battle, I was unable to effectively kill the black maggots. I often had to continuously slash at a certain part of the black maggots 'bodies several times before I could rely on the accumulated lethality to pierce through the black maggots' hard armor and kill them. As a result, the number of mutated creatures I killed was much less than I had expected. Even so, it was still more than five times the number of mutated creatures that Long Xin's group of four had killed.
When we stopped, it was already midnight, around two o'clock. We had no choice but to set up our tent in a relatively safe place. The magic clock was also set to four hours later.
The next morning, Long Xin left the cave early to hire Dongbao. After we had breakfast, we continued our cultivation.
Just like that, the days seemed to have returned to the three days he had spent cultivating in the skull cave. The only difference is that we're all staying in Centipede Cave, eating and sleeping. We only have six hours of rest every day, and the rest is non-stop cultivation. "The eight Dongbao soldiers will be responsible for collecting the corpses of the mutated creatures we killed.
They were mainly items like magic crystals dropped by these mutated creatures. These things were very useful. Not only did they contain the magic energy needed for most magic arrays, but they could also be used to make many things, such as jewelry, armor, weapons, and so on. It could be said that it was the energy item that was consumed the most in the world of Fama. It was similar to electricity in the modern world, and it had always been in short supply.
Since the eight Dongbao were all sent here by the Ranger Guild's management, the leader of the group would be responsible for bringing the magic crystals they collected that day back to the Ranger Guild in Tucheng and submitting the mission. We only needed to remember the number of crystals collected that day. This way, everyone would be much more relaxed.
" Of course, we're not the only ones who hired Dong Bao. In fact, most of the Ranger teams that train in Centipede Cavern will hire varying numbers of Dong Bao to help them collect the corpses of the mutated creatures they killed. From there, they can obtain, submit missions, or sell magic crystals. It could be said that 20% of the people who stayed in Centipede Cave were professional Dongbao. Because of this, Dongbao had long developed into a very complete ranger support industry. Moreover, the people in this line of work were all experts with quick eyes and quick hands. Their efficiency was much faster than the ones hired in the Skeleton Cave.
"The arrival of the eight Dongbao's made me prioritize completing the mission. Therefore, I only have the time to use the black maggots to train my high-intensity frontal attack ability after killing a certain number of mutated creatures.
