Take the opportunity to escape? This wasn't Wang Zhong's goal, as the initiative was now in his hands.
Did he want to recover from his injuries? Dream on.
A Heroic Crosswheel Slash whizzed out of the forest and headed straight for Heinrich's neck.
Heinrich noticed it immediately, but he was seriously injured and had consumed a lot of energy. He no longer had the invincible sword defense from before. When the Heroic Crosswheel Slash was aimed at his vital spot, he did not dare to use his body to block it. He had no choice but to stop adjusting his breath. He rolled on the ground and rolled to the left.
"Haha, rolling on the ground!" Simba's voice was screaming.
"It's obviously an idiot rolling on the ground," Wang Zhong continued.
His voice was rather loud, and Heinrich obviously understood what he meant. His face turned red!
He had already given up on chasing Wang Zhong, but that ant actually dared to take the initiative to attack!
Calm down, calm down … Heinrich controlled his anger. After all, he was a Sword Saint. Intelligent creatures would always subconsciously look down on alien races. To the Mizobudapi people, humans were alien races. This was also why Heinrich was so arrogant. However, he could learn from this lesson. As long as he calmed down, it was not difficult to realize that the human opposite him was growing at an alarming rate in the past two days of being chased. This was really disadvantageous to him. If he continued, it would not only be a matter of whether he could kill Wang Zhong, but he would also be in danger.
After understanding this, he decisively retreated. The other party was relying on the forest, so how could he not be harassed if he just sat by the edge of the forest and recuperated?
But as soon as he retreated, Wang Zhong chased after him!
The facial features on the clown mask were distorted, and his big red nose was sometimes big and sometimes small. "Aiyaya! This mangy dog actually ran away! "
"Idiot, you're not a Sword Saint. You're a slut!"
Even Wang Zhong would feel ashamed when he heard Simba's words, coupled with the ever-changing clown mask. Frankly speaking, Wang Zhong felt that if he was Simba's enemy, he would definitely explode with rage.
The muscles on Heinrich's face kept twitching. He wanted to endure it, and he knew that he should, but …
"You sissy, you're still running? You're not a man!! "
"Little human shows his might, and the sissy Sword Saint flees!" Simba began to recite a poem.
"F * ck! Shut up! " Heinrich was actually able to comprehend the essence of human curses in an instant. His brain was about to explode. "I'll kill you!"
For a moment, Heinrich wished that he could not understand the human language. But now, his face and neck were red with anger.
What serious injuries, what repercussions … all of these were already in his bloodshot mind. Heinrich stomped his feet, and a golden light shot out as he charged forward.
It had to be said that an enraged Sword Saint was especially terrifying. The Sword Qi that had suddenly surged towards Wang Zhong gave him a fright. It seemed that the Sword Saint had regained some of his former glory. Fortunately, he had dodged it quickly.
Thus, when the Sword Saint charged forward, the opponent retreated. At this time, there was no need to play tricks with the opponent. It was obvious that the Sword Saint wanted to drag the opponent to death. Wang Zhong did not hold back either. He activated his Speed Circuit and retreated even faster than the Sword Saint.
"Well done!" Wang Zhong did not forget to praise Simba even though he was busy. This guy's mouth was the best. This time, it really came in handy. If not, if Wang Zhong was the one scolding Simba, he would not be able to scold Simba in so many different ways.
"Nonsense. Look at who he is!" Simba's nose was already raised to the sky. "I'll play with him until he dies!"
He chased and retreated at the same time.
Heinrich's rage allowed him to unleash a small burst of power, but the specific condition of his body made it impossible for him to maintain this burst of power for long. On the other hand, Wang Zhong controlled the distance between them and always stayed at the edge of the opponent's attack. Anyway, his Phoenix Rises to Ninth Heaven and his Heroic Crosswheel Slash were far away.
He was like a piece of sticky candy that could not be chewed or shaken off. Anyway, if the enemy advanced, he would retreat; if the enemy retreated, he would retreat. Heinrich constantly calmed his emotions and forcefully controlled his anger, but every time he stopped, the annoying fire phoenix or energy slash would definitely come at him at the right time.
He had thought of retreating all the way, but the original Black Boulder Energy Mining Camp had been destroyed along with the collapse of the mountain, and he did not know how many people there were still alive. As for the other camps, they were a little far from the Black Boulder Energy Cave, and it would take some time for them to retreat to the other camps. What was worse was that stupid mouth of his!
Heinrich really could not imagine how there could be such a vicious language in this world!
It was true that language was a weapon, but in the understanding of the Mizobudapi people, this kind of language weapon was only a means to be used in diplomacy. It was completely different from the vulgar and despicable human vulgarities.
All kinds of ugly vulgarities flew around, and all kinds of slander were thrown at him. Heinrich had never thought that such a powerful and great person like him, who was destined to leave a strong mark on the Mizobudapi civilization in the future, would be called a wife with small feet.
He understood what his wife meant. What did small feet mean? Heinrich's understanding of human language was not deep enough, but he could tell that it was definitely something very weak and low-class.
He was enraged and pointlessly increased his energy consumption. Then, he forced himself to calm down, and in the end, he simply plugged his ears.
Heinrich understood the opponent's strategy. They wanted to wear him down. This ant actually dared to dream of taking his life?! If this happened during normal times, just thinking about it would be enough to provoke Heinrich's murderous anger. That was rudeness and provocation to him, and he could not tolerate it. But now, he had learned to control his anger. He could even tolerate Simba's stupid mouth. There was nothing in this world that could anger him anymore.
He also decided to pay attention to his defense and no longer be provoked by Simba. It had to be said that when a Sword Saint made up his mind to do something, Wang Zhong really could not do anything about it. It was definite that he would continue to harass the Sword Saint, but he could no longer increase the opponent's energy consumption. At most, he could only delay the Sword Saint from healing his injuries and preventing the Sword Saint from escaping easily.
This was the limit of what Wang Zhong could do. The originally clear situation of the battle had become complicated and confusing once again.
It was true that the other party couldn't heal his injuries and couldn't leave this area under Wang Zhong's pursuit, but Wang Zhong couldn't rest either. Although Wang Zhong had more or less recovered, and the other party was like an arrow at the end of its flight, the other party was a Sword Saint, after all. A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. If this continued, Wang Zhong wasn't sure who would be the one to die first.
No one could find a suitable breakthrough point, and the battle fell into a stalemate. The two figures continued to move and chase each other through the mountain ruins, the forest next to them, and even the swamp on the other side. Neither of them could do anything to the other.
… …
Mizobudapi World, Northern Battlefield Base …
It had been almost a month since the war started.
It was said that the higher-ups had obtained the general information of the area within a thousand kilometers around the base. Several large-scale attack points had been put on the agenda of the command room, but the main forces of the base were still in a state of biding their time until the order to attack was given.
However, during this period of time, the Exploration Team Department was rather active. Other than the engineers and sentries who were responsible for the surrounding infrastructure work, the people who went in and out of the base the most frequently were the exploration teams. Due to the expansion of the exploration area and the gathering of information from various aspects, there was a lot of work that the exploration teams had to do.
They had to clear the mines, sweep some nearby Mizobudapi villages, set up Skylink signal points, and even collect some special materials from the Mizobudapi World. These tasks were not difficult.
These missions were not difficult. So far, the Mizobudapi people had not launched a large-scale counterattack against the active human exploration teams. They seemed to be watching and did not care about the gains and losses of more than a thousand kilometers of land. However, in the eyes of most exploration teams, this was because the Mizobudapi people had been beaten to a pulp during the landing battle. In addition, the missions were easy and the rewards were generous. Almost all the exploration teams that received or returned after completing the mission were full of joy. It was as if they were going out to pick up gold everywhere. Many exploration teams had indeed made a lot of money because of this, and their strength had greatly increased.
However, there were bound to be failures. Among these exploration teams that failed, the Wanderlust Team was probably the most pitiful. Oh, no! They still had a few people left. The most pitiful one was probably KD, who had formed a team with them. None of them managed to escape.
When this news first came out, it caused quite a stir in the Exploration Team Department. All along, everyone had been very successful in their missions. Even if they occasionally failed their missions, the losses were not heavy. However, this group of people was different. One team was wiped out, and the other team returned dejectedly with a whole team full of injuries.
They encountered a Sword Saint? That Grai was injured by a Sword Saint's sword?
The news brought back by the Wanderlust Team made everyone want to laugh. How could a newcomer at the Heroic Soul Stage dare to say that he survived an attack from a Sword Saint? Everyone had seen how strong the Mizobudapi Sword Saints were on the day of the landing battle. It was not just because of the gathering of elites on the battlefield, but also because of the different cultivation methods of the Mizobudapi people. Their Sword Saints and Warlock Saints did not have a blank period like humans who had just entered the Heavenly Soul Stage. Once they stepped into the realm of a Sword Saint, they would probably be on par with human 3-star Great Teachers. Was that a level that a Heroic Soul could compete with? Even the strongest Devourers in the Exploration Team Department, who were said to be able to compete with Heavenly Soul experts, were only comparable to 1-star Great Teachers.
"It's not scary to be weak, but why did you have to find such an absurd excuse for failing your mission? That's simply shameless."
"KD is really unlucky to have formed a team with this group of people. They were obviously the ones who peed their pants on the battlefield and sold KD out, but they actually made up such a lie when they came back."
"Did they go to the battlefield? I think they've been hiding far away all this time. Otherwise, do you really think they'd be able to escape after KD was wiped out? "
"Didn't they say that the two teams split up?"
"Bullsh * t. You believe what they said? Where's the evidence? You might as well believe that they really encountered a Sword Saint. "
"I don't think we can just let this matter go. These people are too hateful. They must be severely punished!" Some people were indignant. On the battlefield, what they were most afraid of was being stabbed in the back or not working hard. That was equivalent to selling one's back to the enemy. This kind of thing had to be put to an end. It was absolutely necessary to punish the Wanderlust Team as an example to others!
"Yes! How can there be such a thing as missing when all their brothers and exploration teams were destroyed? I think that Wang Zhong might have purposely hidden himself there in order to add some color to their lies! "
There were all kinds of doubts and curses in the Exploration Team Department. In the first two days after the Wanderlust Team returned, it was really lively.
There were calls for the Wanderlust Team to be dealt with, and there were demands for a reasonable truth. All kinds of arguments and voices emerged one after another. At first, there were only some people who hated betraying their teammates, but slowly, more and more people joined in. Humans were always following the trend.
Of course, the Wanderlust Team did have a big problem. They were known as the 'three most' exploration teams in this Holy Battle. They were the weakest, the unluckiest, and the fewest in terms of numbers. Almost everyone on the northern battlefield knew that a Great Teacher was behind Scarlet. In fact, they could turn a blind eye to this, but they really couldn't tolerate the fact that a level-4 exploration team was wiped out. They needed the truth.
They didn't dare to challenge a Great Teacher, but there had to be a conclusion to this matter. At the very least, they didn't want to drag other exploration teams down.
Oscar and the others couldn't go out for the first two days after they returned. Wherever they went, they were met with supercilious looks and sarcastic remarks. Thus, they simply stayed in the team's room and took care of a large number of injured members. Not only was Grai injured, but even Small Eyes and Feng were injured to varying degrees when they returned. It was mainly because they were in too much of a hurry and provoked several groups of monsters in the swamp.
There was a huge commotion outside, but the higher-ups were calm. The higher-ups in the Exploration Team Department approved of the reason given by the Wanderlust Team. They basically determined that Grai's injuries were indeed caused by a Sword Saint, so they allowed them to move freely. However, further information could only be confirmed by investigators. Of course, even if there was no clear evidence, as long as there was no evidence of their 'betrayal', the Wanderlust Team wouldn't be punished. Even if the higher-ups didn't punish them, they wouldn't interfere in the matters between exploration teams.
Naturally, the Wanderlust Team wouldn't argue with those guys who were full of shit. It went in one ear and out the other. Other than communicating with the higher-ups during the mission report, Scarlet was the only one who understood the details of what had happened. When she heard that Wang Zhong's life and death were unknown, she was extremely anxious. To Scarlet, she wanted to see Wang Zhong, if he was alive, and if he was dead, she wanted to see his corpse. However, Great Teacher Sophia didn't allow her to go and used the mission to keep her in the base. Even when she came to the Wanderlust Team, she was accompanied by the assistant that Great Teacher Sophia had assigned to her. Obviously, she was afraid that this disciple would rush to her death. However, she heard from Scarlet that Great Teacher Sophia had already sent experts to investigate the situation, and there should be news soon.
Be it the Wanderlust Team or Scarlet, they obviously pinned their last hope on the information they received from the frontlines. Regardless of whether it was Oscar and the others or Scarlet herself, they had all witnessed Wang Zhong's countless miracles and still had hope in their hearts. Waiting was undoubtedly the most torturous thing.
If it weren't for Wang Zhong, everyone would have given up on escaping from a Sword Saint, especially in the enemy's territory.
