"Bang, bang, bang!"
With Force Fields, which could affect many Fire Leopards, activated, the five Human Sovereign Realm warriors had an easy fight. They took out weapons to smash and slay the Fire Leopards.
"Deactivate the Force Fields!"
Lu Ling said after the number of remaining Fire Leopards dropped to about 100. With the influence of Force Fields, Fire Leopards" real ferocity could not be seen. She had told the warriors to observe here for them to have a clear knowledge of the Fire Leopards" abilities. After all, n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors didn"t have Force Fields.
The five Human Sovereign Realm did as she said. Cruelty scale of the Fire Leopards increased right away. One Fire Leopard after another dashed around the Human Sovereign Realm warriors in a fast speed. Their horns were so sharp that Hei Ni, Master of Lotus Society, had a cut on his armband. Fire Leopards" claws were no less sharp.
Another thing that rendered Fire Leopards scary was the stream of red air they breathed. The air streams were neither toxic nor hot but it had a strange power to slow warriors down.
Lu Ling saw how the others were confused and she explained, "The most frightening thing about the Fire Leopards are the air streams which Fire Leopards seem to be able to leverage strength of heaven and earth to slow down their enemies. When you fight with the Fire Leopards, you must look out for the air streams. If you are enveloped by the air streams, I reckon you cannot even move one bit."
"Um…"
The more than 1000 warriors were stunned. How odd and terrible it was that the creatures could leverage strength from heaven and earth? Not many of the warriors had learned Profound Meaning and yet the creatures knew how to borrow strength from nature.
Lu Ling continued after a pause, "While you are fighting, try to sense the surroundings to gain insight. I have been thinking for a few days and I find that the strength in heaven and earth can be utilized relatively easily. In other words—the laws in heaven and earth are clearer and more distinct. I hope that after you fight here for some time, you can all learn some Profound Meanings."
"Wow~"
The n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors were inspired by the prospect. They couldn"t help but talk with each other about this. If they could learn Profound Meanings here, they would feel themselves profited without a share of Mystical Materials.
"Okay now, break up into 10 teams and find some Fire Leopards to try it out on your own!"
The number of Fire Leopards had decreased to a few dozens. Lu Ling waved the warriors into the valley. After all was ready to fight, she shouted again, "You must learn to cooperate with each other. Life first. We have many doctors and elixirs at the base camp. You will all be okay as long as you don"t suffer fatal wounds."
"Charge—"
Lu Ling"s words emboldened and encourage them. There was nothing to be fearful of, not when there were ample support services. In an instant, the warriors began to dash toward the Fire Leopards.
Lu Li didn"t go with them. He turned to Lu Ling and asked with curiosity, "Sis, the nature laws are clearer here?"
"Yes~"
Lu Ling wasn"t lying. Looking up at the sky, she said, "I am of a miraculous birth and I have a sharper sense of laws in heaven and earth and Profound Meanings. I feel nature laws here are clearer than those at the Clouds Plains, Northern Desert and Deserted World, which means, it"s easier to learn Profound Meanings here."
Profound Meanings were the direct representation of laws in heaven and earth!
There were many laws in the universe. Things like gale, tides and thunderbolts were the embodiments of nature laws. If one could learn from them Profound Meanings, then they would be able to leverage strength of heaven and earth and develop powerful attacks and techniques.
If the Inferno was indeed a place that warriors could learn Profound Meanings easily, then it would be a land of treasure. Warriors that could be here would witness a transformation of their abilities.
Of course…
This was Lu Ling"s a.s.sumption. The idea would have to be tested over time. Even so, Lu Li was already excited.
In 10 years, the four forces would invade the Northern Desert and the Clouds Plains wouldn"t be immune. Lu Li"s original plan was to fall back into the Deserted World should he lack the abilities to confront his enemies and then cut off the ties with the Heaven Reverse Universe forever.
This was the last choice, the worst. After all, the Heaven Reverse Universe was a delightful world whereas the Deserted World was merely a well. For many, it would be suffocating and sad to be stuck in a closed-up well where they had no chance of leaving for the rest of their lives.
If…
On the other hand, they could enhance their abilities in the Inferno during the next 10 years, they would be able to deliver miracles, to defend themselves against the four forces, if not defeat the four forces. When the number of powerful warriors of the Northern Desert and Clouds Plains grew, they still had a chance to control the Central Plains…
"Bang, bang, bang~"
The battle had started. Lu Li took a glance and was relieved by what he saw. Powerful warriors had taken positions in midair to fight against the few remaining Fire Leopards. It was not a hard task.
Warriors from Clouds Plains cooperated well. They had resorted to their respective means and had badly wounded a Fire Leopard in one move.
Lu Li was also satisfied by the performance of warriors from the Northern Desert. t.i.tan Race and the Mammoth Race had formed a s.h.i.+eld while others a.s.sisted by launching attacks. They killed two Fire Leopards at ease.
In the time for one incense stick to burn, the 10 teams of warriors had defeated the forty or fifty Fire Leopards. Only one warrior was scratched by the Fire Leopards but it was not serious.
"Ye Cha!"
Lu Li signaled for Ye Cha to lure more Fire Leopards over but not too many. The teams must learn to cooperate. In this way, when a huge number of Fire Leopards came, the warriors wouldn"t be thrown into panic which could lead to great casualties.
Ye Cha soon lured over two or three hundred Fire Leopards. G.o.d of Meng and the other Human Sovereign Realm warriors went ahead to draw fires while the n.o.ble Lord Realm warriors teamed up to fight Fire Leopards.
Lu Li observed for a while. It was going well. The teams had gotten into a groove. They could cooperate better now, which made the task of killing Fire Leopards easier.
Last time when G.o.d of Meng and his patriarchs came, many of them were injured and one patriarch pa.s.sed away. It was because they weren"t ready and were unfamiliar to Fire Leopards. They had been thrown into disorder, causing a great loss.
Technically speaking, the Fire Leopards weren"t too scary. Only the air streams were spooky. That being said, when prepared and cooperating well, the warriors wouldn"t be killed. They could dodge at ease.
"Saint Lord!"
Ke Mang came over with some patriarchs of the Shadowland Race and said, "We can build some illusions. We will share the tricks to them with our warriors and they will be able to see the illusions through, but not the Fire Leopards. They are not highly intelligent and they cannot understand the illusions. It will improve our efficiency and reduce casualties on our side."
Lu Li and Lu Ling looked at each other in joy. They had thought that the Shadowland Race could only a.s.sist in defense and not in offense.
"Okay!"
Lu Li waved his hand and said, "Ke Mang, do it. Tell me and my sister if you need any Mystical Materials and additional help. You will be rewarded for your contributions."
"Thank you, Saint Lord!"
Ke Mang left with his patriarchs after expressing grat.i.tude. Lu Li looked at Lu Ling and said, "Sister, I will leave it up to you now. I want to go and fight the Fire Leopards and deliberate about a secret skill."
"Go ahead."
Lu Ling nodded and said with a smile, "Don"t push yourself. Be careful."
"Whoosh~"
Lu Li took out the divine weapon of Dragon King, hopped onto his Fate Wheel and charged toward the Fire Leopards in the distance.
