In the first 3 days after entering the first abyss, Zhang Tie's team didn't meet any demon knight at all.
In the first abyss, a team of 12 knights would move and rest together. The furthest distance between each other was within 100 m. Although there were more people in such a team, they had the same probability of encountering a demon knight as that of encountering a demon knight in the first abyss.
However, if one always walked on the riverside, one's shoes would definitely get wet.
On the 4th day after entering the first abyss, when this team entered the traditional battlefield in the first abyss, Zhang Tie's team finally met a demon knight.
...
Mountain Lifting Hermit flew in the front of the team, closely followed by the 11 knights in two rows in a herringbone formation. All of them hid their battle qi luster and followed Mountain Lifting Hermit in the black mist on the edge of the precipice of the first abyss.
All of a sudden, Zhang Tie caught sight of some flickering lights in the black mist over 30 miles away.
Due to the mist in the abyss, the flickering lights were blurred; however, Zhang Tie could still identify that they were battle qi smokes of knights.
Zhang Tie remained silent. Through these days' observation, Zhang Tie had already known that his dark vision could see a bit further than that of the others in the first abyss.
As was imagined, after a few seconds, Zhang Tie saw the flickering lights in the black mist, Mountain Lifting Hermit stopped after hundreds of meters away.
Everybody else could see the blurry battle qi smokes in the black mist in the distance.
As it was too far away, they could not see clearly. Additionally, the battle qi smokes were moving and sometimes coming and going. Therefore, it was hard to determine how many battle qi smokes were there.
As the leader of the team, Mountain Lifting Hermit played the role of the captain of this team. Therefore, everybody just looked at Mountain Lifting Hermit and waited for his decision.
Generally speaking, battle qi smokes in the first abyss indicated that there were knights fighting each other. Of course, it might also be a death trap — — The party who thought that it had an advantage or a powerhouse would purposefully release battle qi smokes in the first abyss and pretend that there were knights fighting each other so as to attract the enemy knights passing by to ambush them. In the first abyss, both demons and humans were proficient in this trick. This death trap was like fishing in the water. Of course, if the angler was unlucky and encountered a shadow knight or a heavenly knight who happened to pass by here and attracted great white sharks and killer whales, the angler might also be doomed.
Generally, shadow knights and heavenly knights didn't like to play such a trick in the first abyss. Those who dared play the trick of fishing were at least a team led by one or two earth knights.
Narrowing his eyes, Mountain Lifting Hermit watched the battle qi smokes in the mist in the distance with flickering eyes. Only after thinking about it for 2 seconds, he had made a decision, "I need one person to take a look there with me. The others, hide here! If it's a trap in front of us, I will send a signal back to you. You retreat to the place where we rested last time. If we break out of the encirclement, we will converge with you at the place where we rested last time! "
"I will go there with you, hermit!" Zhang Tie jumped out soon after Mountain Lifting Hermit's words.
At this moment, demon knights were like a great tonic for Zhang Tie. Although it might be a trap in front of them, Zhang Tie still wanted to take a look there. It might not be a trap at all. Besides intervention, Mountain Lifting Hermit could also decide to have his team detour there. The others would not have any objection about that. However, if they detoured there, they would feel a bit uncomfortable as it might mean that they didn't save the demon knights. As for human knights, it was a big problem when facing demons.
As the saying went, those with great skills were always bold. As Zhang Tie grew more and more powerful, he became more and more daring too.
Those who followed Mountain Lifting Hermit would face a certain danger. If it was a trap in front of them, they might be trapped in it. Earth knights could jump out of the same trap; however, black iron knights might not be able to do so. However, if it was not a trap, given the scale of the blurry battle qi smokes, a black iron knight and an earth knight would change the power balance between the two parties in a split second. As a result, human knights would take an overwhelming advantage at once.
If it was a trap, it would be convenient for them to break out of the encirclement; if it was not a trap, they would not expose the trace of this team. This was Mountain Lifting Hermit's plan. This plan was very shrewd and in line with the morality of human knights.
Gong Ziyao and Zhou Shufan wanted to say something; however, as Zhang Tie wanted to go there on his own initiative, they couldn't stop him. After all, they couldn't say that it was too dangerous for Zhang Tie to go there.
After throwing a glance at Zhang Tie, Mountain Lifting Hermit nodded. Closely after that, he flew towards the place where the battle qi luster was flickering, followed by Zhang Tie.
The moment the two people left, all the other human knights in the team had exchanged a glance with each other before hiding somewhere nearby.
Not far from them was the precipice on the edge of the first abyss. There were many vertical ravines as deep as 100 m on the precipice. The ravines were covered with thick and huge abyss vines. Even a random ravine could hide hundreds of people, not to mention 10 people.
Zhang Tie followed Mountain Lifting Hermit as he concealed his battle qi luster and approached that battle region at the fastest speed...
The distance of more than 30 kilometers only took a little more than two minutes for the two of them, and they were close enough to get close to the area.
It was not a trap; instead, it was a battle between human knights and demon knights.
Three human knights in dark-green armors were fighting 4 ox-head demon knights to death. As the 4 demon knights outnumbered the ox-head demon knights a bit.
The battle was very fierce.
Given the formations of both parties, both parties had formed a 3-in-1 battle formation. The extra demon knight was roaming on the edge of the 3-in-1 demon battle formation and constantly striking the human battle formation, causing a great disturbance and stress to the human battle formation.
"I will break the battle formation of demon knights. You will deal with the demon knight on one side. Make it fast!" Mountain Lifting Hermit told Zhang Tie using battle qi.
"Fine!" Zhang Tie's blood had long been boiling.
Soon after Zhang Tie finished his words, Mountain Lifting Hermit had released his battle qi luster at once. At the same time, he accelerated towards the 3-in-1 battle formation of demon knights. At the same time, Zhang Tie accelerated towards that demon knight who was wandering on one side of Mountain Lifting Hermit.
As the visibility in the first-hand abyss was very low, the two people suddenly accelerated when they were close to the battlefield; additionally, they rushed out from the flank of the 4 demon knights. As a result, the 4 demon knights were caught unprepared at once.
When they were hundreds of meters away from the 4 demon knights, Mountain Lifting Hermit had released his battle qi while a huge virtual image which was hundreds of meters in height rose into the sky.
After promoting to an earth knight, the virtual image of a knight's cultivation method would appear when their battle qi boiled to the extreme, which indicated that they had promoted to an earth knight. Like the battle qi totem of fighters, the virtual image of a knight was an almost real light body which was composed of the knight's battle qi, spirit and will. Compared to battle qi totem, the virtual image of a knight was much more advanced.
The virtual image of an earth knight indicated that an earth knight had exerted his full strength.
The virtual image of Mountain Lifting Hermit was a ferocious giant hugging a hill.
With the appearance of the virtual image, Mountain Lifting Hermit, who was not tall before, instantly became more muscular as he grew a few times larger.
The moment Mountain Lifting Hermit launched a strike, he had exerted his full strength like a lion catching a rabbit.
"Break!" Mountain Lifting Hermit uttered a spring thunder-like explosion.
Closely after that, a light beam darted out of Mountain Lifting Hermit's hand and sent a 3-in-1 demon knight flying away while spurting out blood...
The 3-in-1 demon knight's battle formation was broken in a split second.
The demon knight was shocked; however, the 3 human knights became spirited at once...
The ox-head demon knight who was wandering on the edge was also shocked. At the sight of Zhang Tie, it slashed towards Zhang Tie with its huge saber, causing saber qi in the air...
In a split second, Zhang Tie accelerated as fast as a lightning bolt. The gold-eaten tri-edged dagger appeared in Zhang Tie's hand and protected his body like a diamond. At the same time, he rushed towards the saber qi in the air like a diamond.
The saber qi of the demon knight was split apart by Zhang Tie's gold-eaten tri-edged dagger from the middle. The saber qi started to rub against Zhang Tie's protective battle qi as if it wanted to break open Zhang Tie's protective battle qi.
Being squeezed by such a battle qi, Zhang Tie became faintly absent-minded in 1/100th of a second. In a split second, the entire time and space seemed to have stopped.
The squeezing of the battle qi reminded him of the great water pressure at the bottom of the ocean and the two undercurrents around him when he was flying at a high speed in the ocean. If he could make good use of this pressure, he would speed up a lot instead of being influenced by it. It was like peeling off the skin of a banana and pinching it forcefully, causing the banana to fly out of the skin.
In the sky, a glider could also make use of the oncoming wind force to produce lift force and driving force. The secret lay in the difference between the upper and lower planes of the glider's wings...
Zhang Tie had experienced the same scene for many times at the bottom of the ocean and in the sky.
Facing such a great pressure, Zhang Tie ran his spiritual energy as he shrunk his protective battle qi into the shape of a spindle. Closely after that, his protective battle qi shrunk and rocked rapidly. Sensing the saber qi, Zhang Tie accelerated once again along with the change of the pressure and frictional force of the saber qi. At the same time, he rushed towards the demon knight in an overwhelming manner...
In a split second...
The gold-eaten tri-edged dagger split the saber qi of the demon knight and broke its protective battle qi. Closely after that, it pierced into the demon knight's body...
The demon knight watched Zhang Tie with a dumbfounded look instead of a painful one...
