Cultivation: But Not a Game-Chapter 48 - 23: Five Pages of the Nameless Daoist Scripture, Frostfire Guild
PS: Additional update due to alliance leader
"Enemy attack!"
"It’s humans."
A Wolf Demon leader pointed a long knife at them:
"Humans are there, boys, kill them."
The patrolling Demon Soldiers quickly reacted, two to three hundred Wolf Demons split up, raised their shields, and swiftly advanced forward.
Three-foot Wind Blades swept across the steel shields, making dull ’bang bang’ sounds.
Su Yu opened his mouth and spat, an ice shard flew out and hovered in front of him. With a pointed finger, it transformed into a ten-meter sword rainbow, slashing into the Demon Soldiers, causing a burst of damage numbers to rise simultaneously.
The sword flicked and sliced through the air, with sword light darting back and forth, and painful howls and cries echoed endlessly.
Dozens of Mouse Spirits quickly dispersed to occupy high ground. The crossbows in their hands launched a barrage of fiery bolts towards them.
He Shoucheng brandished the Palm Leaf Fan with force, startling winds rose, and wind walls formed in front of him, deflecting the fiery bolts.
But after continuous shooting, the wind walls were worn down, with the bolts being stopped by the second layer of wind walls.
The Palm Leaf Fan was continuously waved, forming the third and fourth layers, as wind walls blocked the endless stream of fiery bolts.
Zhang Yunfei, standing beside him, took out a round mirror, aimed it forward, and a beam of white light as thick as a thigh shot out, smashing into the incoming Wolf Demon shield, shattering it and knocking it away with the remaining force.
Zhang Yunchen then summoned a fire pot, which expanded to the size of a round table, with a flame vortex swirling at its mouth, from which emerged numerous flame spirits.
Gu Zhiqiu took out the Hundred Gu Banner, summoning twelve Golden-winged Flying Centipedes and eighty-eight Red Flame Flying Centipedes.
The Golden-winged Flying Centipede is a Level 40 Elite Template, about five meters long, with a shell of pure gold and a pair of golden wings. When flying, golden mist permeates between the joints, making it appear very beautiful.
The Golden-winged Flying Centipedes weren’t released far but hovered around to intercept any Demon Soldiers that might charge through.
The flame spirits summoned by Zhang Yunchen are mostly flame birds, Fire Monkeys, fire horses, fire bears, and other incorporeal spirits not afraid of casualties, turning everywhere they go into a sea of fire.
But these Demon Soldiers’ Life Force was strong enough to wade through the sea of fire, with several Ox Demons in the center raising huge axes and striking down fiercely. The axe’s force plowed a trench, breaking through two layers of wind walls.
Although the Wolf Demons couldn’t strike such devastating Sky-breaking Slashes, they were incredibly agile, leaping twenty to thirty meters like fleas, and continuously slashing out blade auras with their steel knives.
Over a hundred Wolf Demons slashed in unison, with blade auras crisscrossing, enveloping the sky.
"I’ll block it!"
He Shoucheng shifted from attack to defense, wielding the massive Palm Leaf Fan with both hands, conjuring layer upon layer of wind walls, stacking them up.
Thousands of blade auras tore through the layered wind walls, but behind them were even more layers, which were depleted layer by layer, ultimately blocking all the attacks.
"These Demon Soldiers are much stronger than regular wild monsters."
He Shoucheng took out a pill, swallowed it to restore some Mana, and continued conjuring wind walls.
While controlling his Flying Sword, Su Yu raised his hand and unleashed a blast of Purple Essence Qi Strength, shattering a Mouse Spirit standing on a rock, sniping from 800 meters away, into pieces.
His Flying Sword transformed into a rainbow, dashing back and forth among the Wolf Spirit group.
In group combat, there’s no need to worry about claiming kills. Maximizing output is the priority.
Even without large-scale Magical Treasures, his kill efficiency still topped the entire team.
"Focus on the Mouse Demons, the ranged threat is the greatest."
Zhang Yunfei raised the mirror again. A white light blasted a Mouse Demon back over ten meters, and several flame birds swooped in for a bombardment, turning the Mouse Spirit into roasted Mouse Spirit.
Su Yu waved his sword finger, and an ice shard circled around and attacked a Mouse Spirit setting up for a snipe after slaying a Wolf Demon. A flash of cold light slowed the Mouse Spirit, as the sword light swirled around its waist, dealing seven segments of damage, disemboweling it on the spot.
Without stopping, the Flying Sword immediately went for another Mouse Spirit standing on another rock nearby.
"Bang!"
A series of axe forces broke through the wind walls, heading straight for He Shoucheng, and a second later, a Golden-winged Flying Centipede swooped in to block the axe forces.
"Thanks!"
He Shoucheng quickly summoned a protective bell to guard himself, then swung out two more layers of wind walls to block the charging Wolf Demons, loudly stating:
"There are too many, we can’t hold them head-on."
"Retreat, fight and withdraw."
Fortunately, they were right at the entrance of the Demon camp, with open ground behind them.
The group fought while retreating, constantly intercepting and killing, with the number of Demon Soldiers gradually decreasing. They fell back two or three kilometers, reducing the number of Demon Soldiers by half and greatly reducing the pressure, allowing He Shoucheng to barely hold them back.
They then stood their ground and fought fiercely for another four to five minutes, finally killing the Demon Soldiers one by one.
When the last Ox Demon fell, everyone sighed in relief, collapsing on the ground without any composure.
"It’s so hard!"
"These guys are much stronger than wild monsters."
"Far stronger, their Attack Power, speed, and reaction are much higher than ordinary wild monsters."
"But although they’re tough, the experience is 20% higher than monsters of the same level."
Su Yu glanced at the panel, thinking this place was quite suitable for leveling up.
"And the loot drop rate is higher too."
Over on Gu Zhiqiu’s side, they were already collecting the loot. Without him lifting a finger, the Gu insects had already brought over all the loot.
With over two hundred Demon Soldiers, there were a total of 35 loot light orbs, with a drop rate nearly double the usual.
Upon opening the loot light orbs, they obtained 6 steel shields, 4 steel knives, 5 flaming crossbows, a battle axe, over a hundred wolf fangs, two ox whips, and a pile of wolf hides, wolf meat, wolf hearts, mouse tails, and other materials.
The steel knives, steel shields, and battle axes are Tier 1 weapons, while the crossbows are Tier 2 weapons, which can be used by Body Refining Stream cultivators, or by Dao Soldiers. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
Su Yu had previously received a task from the River God Temple, where a Tier 1 weapon earns 5 reputation points, a Tier 2 weapon earns 15 reputation points, and a Tier 3 weapon earns 50 reputation points.
