Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 10: The Final Battle (2)
Taotao entered the "Hell Lava Pool" to soak. Although his injuries were not light, he had more than a day to recover even if Hades deliberately "deducted" him. It would not affect the third round of challenges. However, unexpectedly, on the day of the challenge, the opponents in the third round announced that they had given up. In the previous round of challenges, after fierce fighting, although they won and wiped out all five opponents, they also paid a heavy price, with two deaths and three serious injuries. One of them was seriously injured. Even after soaking in the "Hell Lava Pool", he has not fully recovered yet. There was no substitute for him temporarily. Under Hades' "enlightenment", he "wisely" withdrew from the challenge. On the surface, it seemed to save us trouble, but in fact, it made me lose the opportunity to "withdraw the generals before the battle". I was unable to take the opportunity to subdue these powerful alien undead and expand my power, which made me really depressed for a long time.
On June 7, the fourth round of challenges began. With Hades as a solid backing and secretly "looking after" us, the five-man team led by the Flame Bone Demon Kekexili naturally won all the way and easily met with us in the finals to compete for the only five immersion spots in the five-man team battle area. In fact, after a bloody battle, I don't know how many people can survive. As for our team alone, even if we are lucky enough to win, I definitely don't need to immerse myself. The spots will naturally be "given away" to other defeated but surviving opponents. Every time I think of this, I can't help but feel sad about Daxiu's death, and my hatred for Hades has increased.
Facing this most powerful combination of five, what awaits us will be a do-or-die battle, and we must succeed. If the challenge fails, or we voluntarily give up in order to preserve our strength, it will inevitably affect the confidence of other alien undead in me. Even if everything can start over again, we can still compete for the immersion qualification through normal challenge channels afterwards, but the plan to completely control the alien undead will definitely be delayed for a long time, not to mention the conspiracy against the Nether Dragon Clan and Hades, the Nether Dragon King.
As the battle broke out, the flames on Kekexili's body became more intense, and he rushed over first. The fire-bone giant lizard Silando lagged behind a few steps, following closely on its left rear, while the terrifying four-winged fire dragon knight Thomas and the flaming flying snake Qitlei flew above them, echoing each other. The lava blood bat Houston appeared in the form of a bat with fiery red flame patterns all over its body and mixed with golden lines, which made me pay special attention to it - it was obviously a "golden blood bat" of a higher level and rarer level than the "silver blood bat" of the blood bat couple. Like Shaman, it was an excellent assassin-type warrior. If you are not careful in the melee, you may be injured by it.
The opponent's strength is obviously superior to ours, and we will definitely not stand a chance of winning in a head-on fight. Khufu and Taotao guard the rear, while Hader and Guben, the weakest, retreat quickly, looking for opportunities in mobile warfare. I advanced a little on my own, urging the "Touch of Death" to entangle the terrifying four-winged fire dragon knight Thomas. After getting a pair of artifact gloves, not only the power of "Touch of Death" is enhanced, but the attack range is also increased, which has exceeded the attack radius of ordinary magic and even archers. It can also pose a certain threat to Thomas, who has the strength of an eighth-level Warcraft. Although the speed of absorbing mental power is not fast, it cannot be easily gotten rid of.
My tactic is to bet on the lack of tacit cooperation between them. Except for Kekexili, who is obviously stronger, the other four are close in ability. They are all arrogant and will not "shamelessly" ask for help from their companions unless necessary. Thomas will not be willing to endure the attack of "Touch of Death" all the time, and he cannot get rid of it for a while. The best way is naturally to start with me, the "leader". Hades has probably told them that my strength is far inferior to Taotao, and my position is too forward, and there is a distance between me and Khufu. Moreover, Khufu cannot fly, so the threat to it should not be great. I think that with the strength of the terrifying four-winged fire dragon knight, he should not be afraid of Taotao alone, and will definitely respond to my "provocative" behavior, and see if there is any chance. I am not very sure that the other party will be fooled. What I rely on is that after the other party has a general understanding of our strength, they may despise us. There is no way, the overall strength is insufficient, and I can only strive for a surprise victory.
I was nervously watching Thomas's reaction. After several attempts, I was unable to get rid of the entanglement of "Death Touch". Perhaps seeing that other companions were rapidly advancing, he was unwilling to flee far away to escape the attack radius of "Death Touch", so he flew towards me quickly. I naturally retreated at full speed, but did not move closer to Khufu. Taotao also showed no signs of flying over to support him, which "strengthened" Thomas' confidence in his assault.
Seeing Thomas lowering his altitude and rushing in front of me with his flaming sword in hand, I certainly couldn't just stand there and let him attack. I first used the "Chaos Ball" and cast the "Blinding Mist" to cover Kekexili and Qitlei in the back to delay their possible support, then quickly transformed into a bat to dodge, and the "Touch of Death" was automatically retracted. I dodged Thomas's first round of probing attacks, but didn't flee immediately. Before it could continue to attack, I opened my mouth and sprayed a cloud of blood mist that covered its entire body.
With my current strength, I couldn't hold Thomas for long. After just a dozen seconds, he got rid of the blood mist, but I immediately spurted out another mouthful of blood mist, clinging to him and not letting him get away. I held Thomas back like this until Taotao rushed over.
Without waiting for the opponent to get close, Taotao used the "Unparalleled Flame Dragon". A roaring fire dragon flew out from the horn on its forehead, growing rapidly in size, and rushed straight towards Thomas, pinning it down to prevent it from flying high into the air. Taotao did not linger, but threw himself forward, using the "Dragon Claw Hand" with all four limbs, and engaged in a close combat with Thomas.
Of course, Tao Tao alone, even with the help of "Flame Dragon Warrior", could not seriously injure Thomas in a short time, but it was enough to prevent him from escaping. Taking this opportunity, Hu Fu also rushed over at full speed, first performing "Thunder Strike" to hit Thomas on the head before he could parry, and then launched 108 "Mad Staff Techniques" to attack together with Tao Tao.
The "blinding fog" has limited effect and can't hold the Kekexili for long. I had to use blood mist to continue to contain them. At the same time, I quickly transformed back to human form and activated the "blood transformation" ability. I used 20% of my mental power to launch a "mental attack" against Houston, the lava blood bat in bat form, to prevent it from launching a counterattack in the same way. I had to fight for this little time. Although it was not enough to kill Thomas, I had to retreat immediately to avoid the siege of the Kekexili who were getting closer and closer. However, it should have consumed at least half of Thomas's strength. He was seriously injured and the threat to us was greatly reduced.
