Chapter 82- Second Field Station
As Cheng Yang and others continue on their journey, the fighting became increasingly frequent. While at the same time, their equipment’s durability also began to slowly decline.
“Lord, how much longer do we have to walk? If this goes on, some of the warriors might not have the strength left to lift up their shield. “After a battle had finished, Liu Hao walked over to Cheng Yang and said.
Cheng Yang said: “Don’t worry, we’ll be there soon. And when we return, the probability of encountering an enchanted beast will be much smaller. ”
Liu Hao didn’t say anymore. As long as Cheng Yang use the original route when returning from the destination, he believed everything would be fine. After all, after killing the enchanted beast once, then under normal circumstances there will not appear another large group of enchanted beasts .
In this way, they walked for nearly a kilometer when Cheng Yang walking in the front suddenly stopped his movement.
In front of everyone’s eyes was a hill, flanked on both sides by mountains reaching a few kilometers in height, extremely steep, and stretching to the remote distance. And in between these two peaks was a plain that is 10 km wide, with a broad river flowing through the middle, running away toward the distance.
This river was called Xiang River, or used to be anyway. However, after the earthquake that triggered the start of the apocalypse, the river was forcibly shifted. The location of Luo Feng village also used to have this river flowing besides it.
“We’ve finally arrived. “Cheng Yang sighed out a deep breath.
Lee Wanshan surveyed the surroundings, then he asked: “Lord, this is our destination? How come I don’t see anything special about this place?”
Cheng Yang with a smile said: “Of course, you don’t see it. There are trees all over the place. You might see the area on both sides of the river bank, but deeper in, you can hardly see anything. ”
Lee Wanshan nodded his head. It seems the thing that Cheng Yang was looking for is inside of these woods.
Sure enough, Cheng Yang then make them continue along the river toward the east. Along the way they didn’t encounter any enchanted beast.
After walking approximately 200 meters, Cheng Yang said in a low voice: “You guys wait here, I’ll go take a look at the situation first. ”
Having said that, and not waiting for the team to respond, Cheng Yang dove straight into the wood, advancing north.
Cheng Yang tried to tread lightly as he made his way forward. After walking a distance of four hundred to five hundred meters, he also didn’t come across any enchanted beast’s group. Regarding this, Cheng Yang not only wasn’t surprised, but on the contrary became very calm.
That’s because the thing he was looking for this time is a territory altar. According to the rules of the gods, prior to occupying the territory altar, the altar will have an unusual appeal to enchanted beasts. The enchanted beasts in the surroundings will be drawn toward it like bees would towards honey.
Cheng Yang hadn’t been to this field station, so he had no choice but to depend on other people’s description to slowly look for it.
Cheng Yang fumbled around in the forest for a full half-hour, before he finally heard some news of activity.
Two hundred meters ahead were occasionally transmitted coarse roars. This means that there are two possibilities. The first one is that he is at the edge of the altar’s territory, and that the enchanted beasts here weren’t drawn toward the altar. The second possibility is that he had arrived at the destination, and those roars were from the enchanted beast’s group guarding the altar.
Cheng Yang quietly sneaked past, and look through the gaps between the trees. Finally, Cheng Yang saw the scene inside.
Indeed, it was quite a spectacular picture. In front of him was a flat, treeless plain, covering an area of at least one square kilometer. On this piece of flat land are densely packed with more than 10 various kinds of enchanted beast, the total was no less than 5,000 enchanted beasts.
In the central plain stood a dark-gray altar about three meters tall, its appearance was identical to the territory altar of Luo Feng village.
At this very moment, standing above the three meters altar was a black bear. Just the sight of it would let people know that it wasn’t something that can be easily trifled with.
It stood on top of the altar, incessantly dancing, while the countless enchanted beasts beneath it followed the dance moves. It was like a mighty general giving a command to his army.
Cheng Yang didn’t have much of a understanding on this bear-type enchanted beast, as it’s a type of ferocious beast. In general, this kind of enchanted beast already possessed a strong strength at the beginning of the apocalypse, so they tend to not appear in the vicinity of the main cities.
Since this huge bear has appeared there, it probably had something to do with the territory altar.
In his last life, Luo Feng village had a first peak-order enchanted beast standing on top of the altar. It was also a ferocious beast. Moreover, it was a huge leopard, which gave off a stronger deterrent than this black bear.
However, the black bear in front shouldn’t have reached the strength of first-peak order. At best, it was only at first-late order.
This black bear leader didn’t bring Cheng Yang much pressure, but the more than 5,000 enchanted beasts herd no doubt gave Cheng Yang a migraine. Killing all of these enchanted beasts at the lowest cost, was a very difficult matter to accomplish.
All of a sudden, Cheng Yang widened his eyes and tightly stared at the black bear. He seemed to have thought of a method.
General speaking, an altar that is three meters tall isn’t a height that every single first late-order enchanted beast can surmount. As for the enchanted beasts in the first medium-order, the majority will find this height unattainable, while for the first early-order enchanted beasts, no explanation is needed.
If he could figure out a way to rush up the altar and kill the black bear on the top on it, wouldn’t he be able to enjoy a slaughter-fest on these enchanted beasts as much as he want?
Once this notion emerged inside of Cheng Yang’s mind, he was unable to keep it under control. Quietly, he began to count the health potions and mana potions within his backpack, and then made a decision.
Spell it! Facing this herd of 5,000 enchanted beasts, even if the entire territory’s professions made their way here, the impact they will have in this battle won’t be significant. Although this would make it easier on him, but the casualties for the ordinary professions will also be very large.
At this stage, Luo Feng village is still at the initial stage. All the professions have yet to possess a strong fighting force. If you want them to play a greater role, then they must be carefully trained for some time. Although he hated this feeling of being a nanny, but since the children have yet to mature, how could he also expect to them to support their own?
Cheng Yang calculated the distance from here to the altar was about 700 meters. If he doesn’t consider the monsters obstructing the way, then he would only need at most half a minute to rush below the altar. However, now there are numerous monsters blocking the path, so the time is hard to predict.
However, Cheng Yang didn’t hesitate to process with his plan. Currently, there are nearly 20 mana potions inside of his backpack, as well as four bottles of health potions, so this task shouldn’t be a problem.
At once, Cheng Yang gently pushed aside the bushes of thorns, and then with the fastest speed sprinted forward.
Cheng Yang advanced more than 30 meters, when the enchanted beasts found the abnormal situation. The herd of enchanted beasts immediately became restless.
In a blink of an eye, Cheng Yang had already plunge into the group of enchanted beasts. Not giving the other side a chance to react, his body swiftly swept by them, instantly projecting seven to eight meters away. Following the promotion to first peak-order apprentice, Cheng Yang’s strength and speed had surge one time, therefore jumping a distance of seven to eight meters is normal.
During Cheng Yang’s descend, the enchanted beasts below the altar immediately reacted, sending forth various types of attacks toward Cheng Yang, creating an imposing momentum ready to rip him to shred.
On the corner of Cheng Yang’s mouth emerged a slight sneer, the moment his body landed, he was met with seven to eight attacks. However, their attacks was nothing more than tickles to Cheng Yang, simply causing no harm to him.
“Ice thorn… …” Cheng Yang didn’t show the slightest mercy, as he immediately launched his aoe attack skill. All of a sudden, the few meters ahead of him was fully covered, numerous ice thorns releasing ice-cold breath fell down from the sky, killing all of the enchanted beast with its scope
Take advantage of this void, Cheng Yang quickly went forward a few steps, then jumped several meters into the distance. After that, by using the same method the enchanted beasts in front were clear.
This tactic, Cheng Yang had used a few days ago. It was in Xiangcheng city during the fight with the Blackwater Crocodiles, in the end the Green Anoraks seized the opportunity to cut off his escape route, and forced him to use this method to break through.
Compared with that time, Cheng Yang’s strength is now miles away. Previously, he had to worried about those first early-order enchanted beasts attacking him. However, now there is no need to consider that, and even if met with first medium-order enchanted beasts, the damage they can bring to his health is relatively minor.
Cheng Yang vigorously charged forward without signs of retreat, while the enchanted beasts intercepted his path with no fear of death ……
Two minutes later, Cheng Yang advanced more than 200 meters forward. During this time period, he had consumed two bottles of mana potion in order to restore his mana consumption. However, the result was also quite fruitful. At least four hundred to five hundred enchanted beasts were killed under his ice thorn skill. There are corpses of green anorak, gray wolf, steel boar, poisonous frog, as well as many other first medium-order enchanted beasts.
Cheng Yang couldn’t calculate how many enchanted beast he really killed. In his mind, there was only one goal, that is to get closer and closer to the altar.
The black bear had been closely staring at Cheng Yang from the top of the altar, clearing identifying him as an intruder, but it had not made too big of an action. However, when Cheng Yang advanced 200 meters closer, the bear was apparently shock. From the top of the altar, it began howling for the enchanted beasts on the other side to come toward this side.
Quickly, the density of enchanted beasts around Cheng Yang greatly increased. Beforehand, every time he jumped he was able to do a run-up. But now, each time he tried to jump, he would be knocked aside by the body of the enchanted beasts around him, and ultimately had no choice but to jump once again.
Fortunately, no matter how concentrated the enchanted beasts below are, Cheng Yang’s ice thorn can clear up a large range, which made it unlikely for him to be completely buried below the group of monsters.
On the other hand, this is also a excellent opportunity for him, because the more dense these monsters become, the more monsters his ice thorn skill can killed after every launch.
With the passage of time, Cheng Yang reached closer and closer to the central altar, making the enchanted beast’s attack crazier.
After the consuming the tenth bottle of mana potion, Cheng Yang was only 100 meters away from the altar. At this point, he can clearly see the frantic expression of the black bear on top of the altar.
Around here the number of first medium-order enchanted beast started to piled up, which made Cheng Yang’s injuries gradually increase. Although each hit would only deal one point of damage, but cumulatively it can be very scary.
