Chapter 380: Gale Thunder Winged Serpent
Chapter 380: Gale Thunder Winged Serpent
Li Qian and his group heard the shrill alarm bells. Without a moment’s hesitation, they immediately dashed out and quickly reached the city wall.
Arriving at the wall, Li Qian glanced at the distant scene and then turned to Situ Jie, asking, "Commander of the Post Situ, have the enemies appeared again?"
"Our scouts have already detected the enemy. About 10 kilometers ahead, there are two to three thousand Skeleton Beasts approaching," Situ Jie pointed to a certain position ahead, responding with a serious tone.
"Two to three thousand Skeleton Beasts..." Li Qian murmured, lost in thought.
"If it’s just two to three thousand Skeleton Beasts, they shouldn’t pose much of a threat to our outpost, right?" Lu Tianjiao also arrived at the wall and directly voiced the question on everyone’s minds.
"If it’s just two to three thousand Skeleton Beasts, there shouldn’t be a problem for us. What I’m worried about is what comes next..." Situ Jie’s gaze was fixed, and his expression showed no signs of relaxation.
"You mean..." Li Qian gazed into the distance, suddenly realizing something, and fell into deep contemplation.
"Then, what should we do now?" Dong Ning also came to the wall and asked.
Situ Jie extended his hand, pointing forward, and said solemnly, "For now, we can only... fight fire with fire and water with earth!"
After his words, he waved his hand, "Attack!"
Following his order, a large group of Flying Beasts suddenly took off, and then various Ground Beasts rushed out, forming two distinct teams.
Clearly, Situ Jie intended to confront the enemy outside the city gates. Seeing this, Li Qian did not hesitate and issued his own order, "Little Six, go and help them."
"Roar..." Little Six’s massive form suddenly appeared, and then it charged out, joining the ranks of the defenders.
Apart from Little Six, the other people’s Companion Beasts also rushed out. Although they were not in their best condition, joining the main force in battle was not a problem.
The battle was about to begin, and the Overlord Rank Gale Thunder Winged Serpent was the first to engage the enemy, launching a furious attack.
Gale Blades and Thunder Strikes continuously ravaged the area, clearing a large section of the enemy in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the Gale Thunder Winged Serpent’s formidable might, Li Qian felt more at ease. Situ Jie’s Companion Beasts were like a higher-dimensional force on this battlefield.
"Commander of the Post Situ, go deal with that Skeleton Warlord," Li Qian called out, noticing an Overlord Rank Companion Beast approaching from a distance.
In fact, even without his reminder, Situ Jie had already planned to do so. Dealing with two to three thousand Skeleton Beasts was not a big issue.
However, the Skeleton Warlord needed to be dealt with as soon as possible; otherwise, it would cause a lot of trouble if it managed to rally the troops.
Situ Jie, being a decisive person, did not hesitate after making up his mind. He directly commanded his two Companion Beasts, the Gale Thunder Winged Serpent and the Flame Cloud Leopard, to clear a path with their skills, charging toward the Skeleton Warlord.
Their speed was extremely fast, and the surrounding Skeleton Beasts could hardly pose any threat. Seeing this, Li Qian did not delay, directly commanding Little Six to cover their flanks and eliminate any Skeleton Beasts that attempted to get close.
Seven Sons was also summoned to help, and many other Beastmasters understood Situ Jie’s intention, directing their Companion Beasts to assist as well.
"Capture the leader first!" Lu Tianjiao also commanded the Five-Colored Crane to join the fray, knowing very well that once the Skeleton Warlord was eliminated, this crisis would naturally dissipate.
The battle raged on, with countless Skeleton Beasts aiding in the fight. Eliminating the Skeleton Warlord was no easy task.
A myriad of skills clashed, creating a chaotic scene of constant collisions, energy fluctuations, and flying debris.
"Seven Sons, use Cyclone!"
"Little Six, Fiery Flame!"
Li Qian simultaneously issued commands to Seven Sons and Little Six through their Soul Contract. Fiery Flame was a new skill Little Six had comprehended upon advancing to the Overlord Tier, and when combined with Seven Sons' Wind skills, it created a synergistic effect greater than the sum of its parts.
The terrifying orange-red flames, carried by the cyclone, formed a fiery dragon that charged forward, clearing a path through the Gale Thunder Winged Serpent and Flame Cloud Leopard.
Situ Jie's two Overlord-level Companion Beasts seized this opportunity to unleash their powerful skills, launching a fierce assault.
A deafening explosion reverberated through the air, reducing the Skeleton Warlord to dust. Lu Tianjiao witnessed this scene and heaved a sigh of relief, wiping the sweat from his brow.
Situ Jie also relaxed, muttering to himself, "I hope we can hold out for the next few days!"
Lu Tianjiao smiled, "Rest assured, my luck has always been..."
Li Qian immediately interrupted, "Don't say it! With that jinx of yours, I've developed a psychological shadow."
As the battle concluded, Li Qian prepared to command Seven Sons and Little Six to finish off the remaining enemies when a blazing orb of light descended from the sky.
Boom! The orb exploded amidst the remaining Skeleton Beasts, creating a powerful shockwave that instantly wiped out hundreds of foes.
"Huh? That's..." Li Qian watched the figure descending amidst the light, his face lit up, "Celestial Cloud Beast!"
"Zong Mingshan, Dean!"
As expected, the figure riding the Celestial Cloud Beast was none other than Dean Zong Mingshan.
He gracefully leaped off the beast, landing beside Li Qian, a smile of relief on his face, "I knew I'd find you here."
Li Qian approached with a smile, concern in his eyes, "Dean Zong, how's the situation over there after we left?"
Zong Mingshan waved his hand dismissively, "I found an opportunity to leave the battlefield. I'm not foolish enough to directly engage with so many Skeletons and Flame Corpses."
"I've come to ask for your help with something else!"
Li Qian's expression turned solemn, "What is it?"
"Come with me to Mo Yuan City," Zong Mingshan pointed to the back of the Celestial Cloud Beast, not explicitly stating the matter.
The implication was clear.
Li Qian gestured towards Lu Tianjiao and the others, "What about them?"
Zong Mingshan smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry, the Skeletons and Flame Corpses are moving away from this direction. The Skeleton Beasts you just eliminated were the largest group in the area."
"They shouldn't encounter much danger from now on."
Without pause, he continued, "Staying here is the wisest choice for them. Following us might be more perilous!"
