Chapter 480: The Hunting Ground
Translator: Panda_Penn Editor: Chrissy
Jiang Qiling's Soulfeast Butterflies were more powerful than Jiang Hu's indeed. Before this barbarian died, he couldn't move even a bit since he was entirely seized. He only let out a miserable cry right until death came.
Lu Li was uplifted. He waved to Jiang Qiling and said, "Work with me. Let's kill all the barbarians."
Jiang Qiling was even more excited than him. She controlled her Bead of Life moving to another side while the three young ladies followed her.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
Jiang Hu and the others gained the upper hand in their fights against the four barbarians as well. Those barbarians were injured and covered in blood. That being said, they didn't sustain any serious wounds.
Jiang Hu and the others didn't dare to start a close combat, so they were in a bit of trouble with the barbarians. It would take them some time to annihilate the barbarians.
Barbarians were bigger and less agile. Therefore, as long as Jiang Hu and the others kept their distances, their lives wouldn't be threatened.
"Swish, swish!"
Seeing all the clones of Lu Li coming, the rest four barbarians realized how the other two of them died. The four's eyes became redder and their horns began to generate black glares. Then bolts of black lightning pierced across the sky.
"Retreat!"
Jiang Hu shouted. Even though those thunderbolts could not kill them, they would have a hard time moving around once struck. If that happens, they could be slayed by the copper hammers.
They backed up quickly. Finally, Lu Li and Jiang Qiling arrived. Countless Soulfeast Butterflies rushed out and dashed into the barbarians. Soon, none of the four barbarians could move anymore.
"Now I see the true power of an eighth rank Bloodline!"
Lu Li exclaimed to himself. He once saw the power of Mystic Armor of the Lu Family. He wondered how impressive the other Royal Families' eighth rank Bloodlines would be.
One clone after another whooshed on. To Lu Li's relief, none of the barbarians showed any signs of movement. Lu Li himself flew over and crushed one barbarian's head after another. Jiang Hu and the others were shocked and awed by Lu Li.
They had thought that Lu Li was only a gigolo, trying to live off Jiang Qiling. Now they understood that they could not be more wrong. The four of them had been attacking the barbarians for such a long time and only scratched the surface. But Lu Li easily crushed a barbarian's head with one move.
Of course, there were one or two who were still not convinced. They believed that Lu Li could do this only with Jiang Qiling's cooperation and that if they were the ones getting close to the barbarians, they could accomplish this as well.
Jiang Qiling kept releasing Bloodline Skill but didn't feel feeble. Instead, her fox-like eyes were filled with glow. Looking at Lu Li's blood-dripping Silver Claw, she wasn't scared. Rather, she sensed Lu Li was becoming more mysterious.
He was only at the Eternal Realm, but he was already faster than a warrior at the initial stage of Human Sovereign Realm and had impressively strong psychic power. He could release so many vivid clones and yet his attacks were so ferocious. How many secrets does Lu Li have?
Curiosity and gossip were embedded in a woman's nature. When she grew more interested in a man, she would fall for him and lose herself soon.
Jiang Qiling stood there, dumbfounded, but not Lu Li. Killing the last barbarian, he waved his hand and said, "Bring all the bodies along and let's move."
Jiang Hu and others came to their senses. One of them flew to the body of the Du Family warrior who was badly mutated, too horrifying for the sight. This warrior was pounded into a puddle and his body could not be collected.
In the end, only his blood tainted clothes were taken away. At least, a cenotaph could be set up for him.
After that, they left quickly in case more alien races would come and encircle them.
Jiang Tianshun had told them again and again that they must fight quick fights. If they felt they didn't stand a chance to win, they must flee right away. He told them that they should not linger on in the fights or they would draw the attention of more alien races.
Jiang Hu led them to a cave that had a vague sign on the outside. Jiang Tianshun mentioned that caves like this were safe and the most conducive to escaping. Generations after generations of warriors that came before had figured this out.
"Roar, roar~
Not long after they entered the cave, they heard a roar from afar. Even if they were already deep down the ground in the cave, they felt their blood tumble. Clearly, there was quite a number of barbarians coming, at least dozens judging by the sound of it.
Lu Li and the others were not afraid of the dozens of barbarians. But they had just finished a fight with barbarians and found out barbarians' abilities, it would be better if they didn't act too rashly. This was not a place for fun. One wrong move could lead to the death of all.
There was something else!
Lu Li felt that the barbarians they just met weren't the powerful ones. If warriors of the Barbarian Race were all like this, the race would have made humans extinct.
From the distant ancient times, the 10,000 races contended for hegemony. The Barbarian Race not only survived, but rose again and occupied the northern land.
If this race had no remarkable abilities, this was impossible. Survival of the fittest was the rule of the world. In this world, one had to rely on power in order to survive.
The road Lu Li and the team took was safe. It extended very deep downward. Now the roars couldn't reach their ears anymore.
Walking for another hour, they felt the roar begin to extend upward again. In time for another three incense sticks to burn, they walked out from the tunnel.
"Did humans dig this tunnel? The stones here are hard. I don't think it was an easy job."
On their way out, a Qin Family warrior stabbed at the wall with his weapon but didn't leave any mark. The mud and stones in here were stiff. To dig out a tunnel of such a length would require Holy Grade Xuan Artifact and a lot of time.
As soon as they were out, everyone sent out their psychic power to check the surroundings. Making sure that they didn't walk into any ambush, they moved forward quickly to hunt for more prey.
Yes!
This small battlefield could be compared to a hunting ground. Humans and the four races were both preys and hunters. It all came down to which side had more methods and abilities. Those of lesser capacities would become the prey and the points for the winner.
They marched on for more than 100 miles. Suddenly, Jiang Hu's eyes glowed. Making a hush gesture, he stopped others and said, "There are four from the Feather Race up front resting."
"Feather Race?"
Everyone cheered up. Their weakest enemy among the four races would be the Feather Race which had weaker attacks. The race was the only one that could fly in here because of their wings. Yet given the gravitational force here, none of them could fly up high.
In other words—the Feather Race was good at running away but not at attacking. As long as the team could react fast and kill the four from Feather Race before they fled, then the four would turn into Lu Li and the other's points.
"Spread out and coordinate our actions!"
Jiang Qiling waved her hand and they spread out into groups of four. The two groups circled around from the sides, closing in on the Feather Race warriors.
"Wait!"
Lu Li said, "I don't think we should split up. This is the Barbarian Race's territory so how come there are Feather Race present? I think something is wrong."
"What can go wrong?"
Jiang Qiling looked at him and said, "Feather Race can fly fast. They always fly around. I think the four have fled here after a defeat. But since you said we should stay together, then let's do that, just to be safe. Let's go."
Lu Li nodded. Once something happened, they could help each other when moving as a team. If they ran into an ambush when splitting up, it would not end up well for any of them.
They marched on quietly. When they were about two miles away from the Feather Race warriors, Jiang Qiling let out her killing intent, waved her hand sand yelled, "Charge!"
