"This time, they're targeting the people with lower cultivation in our team … …" said Zhu Minglang.
There was no need for them to kill a Monarch God like Wei Huan. All they needed to do was to keep attacking. Then, amidst the chaos, they would bite down on those who panicked and lost their footing and drag them into the darkness!
Disciples were dragged away one after another. Although they managed to kill a portion of the people from the Three Great Gods, there was no way they could kill all of the dark ancient dragons!
The ancient dragons had a clear goal this time. They seemed to have learned that the strength of the human team was uneven during their probing during the day. Therefore, those with lower cultivation and those who were not close to the team became the primary targets of the ancient dragons!
The disciples were dragged away one by one. Even those with slightly higher cultivation were unable to save them due to their exhaustion … …
"Maintain the formation, or else more people will die!"
The array formation was the key to this chaotic battle. Once a certain point of the array formation was broken, those disciples with low cultivation would be killed tragically!
The night was incomparably long. The battle lasted for a very long time. Many dark ancient dragon corpses were lying on the ground. However, at the same time, the team from the Northern Dipper Divine Continent was rapidly losing members!
The ground was stained with blood. Severed limbs were scattered all over the ground. Broken weapons could be seen everywhere.
The sky was still dark, but the number of dark ancient dragons finally showed signs of decreasing.
Just as everyone was starting to feel numb, the dark ancient dragons finally started to retreat.
At Zhu Minglang's location, the Alioth female swordmasters who managed to keep themselves clean for a while were once again covered in blood and dirt. Their eyes were still staring at the surrounding darkness. If they were not careful, they would also be dragged away. Their organs would be dug out and eaten by the cruel ancient dragons.
"Shua shua!!!!"
A purple flying sword stabbed into the ground. A dark ancient dragon that was too slow to retreat was nailed to the ground by Lu Ying. The sharp purple sword pierced through the dark ancient dragon's back and came out from its abdomen, before stabbing into the sturdy roots of the banyan tree!
"Slice!!"
The dark ancient dragon did not die, most likely because the sword had missed its vital parts.
As Lu Ying walked toward it, the dark ancient dragon suddenly began to struggle fiercely. It was actually using the strength of its limbs to move its body.
The purple sword was obviously imbued with divine energy. It was nailed to the roots without moving. It was as heavy as a boulder. However, the dark ancient dragon was slicing itself apart while struggling … …
Perhaps the ancient dragons had the pride of predators and did not allow themselves to struggle at death's door, or perhaps they did not feel pain at all. They were carrying out their orders in a way that defied common sense.
Either way, Lu Ying was stunned for a long time after witnessing the scene.
She finally understood why it was so difficult to deal with the dark ancient dragons.
The gods from the Northern Dipper Dipper Continent were all thinking about themselves, whether they could protect themselves and preserve their strength to deal with the upcoming danger. However, these dark ancient dragons would not give up until they achieved their goal. They did not care about the life or death of an individual, nor were they afraid of death. The madness and madness of these predators would only scare anyone who had their own concerns!
Zhu Minglang walked up to the dark ancient dragon that was not struggling too much. His thoughts were very similar to Lu Ying's.
Creatures that regarded their race and collective as sacred and glorious were the most terrifying. In the past, people did not care about such races because they were weak creatures such as bees and locusts. However, once such instincts appeared among the ancient dragons, the destruction it brought was breathtaking!
They were all gods of the Northern Dipper Dipper Continent. Almost every god had their own divine organization, and they were the absolute faith of hundreds of millions of people. They were invincible gods. However, on Shadowed Scar Star, all of their divinities were trampled to the point that they were worthless. The vastness and the unknown of this world made them realize once again that even if they were gods worshipped by hundreds of millions of people, they might still be nothing more than a speck of dust in this vast universe. They might just be a piece of meat for an ancient, more powerful, and more advanced species.
…..
They were like a herd of cattle and sheep that had been attacked, dragging their tired bodies to the so-called safe place.
The sky finally brightened, and the sunlight that they had been accustomed to gave everyone a long-awaited feeling. Even Zhu Minglang himself felt that the approach of the Eternal Night was subtly tormenting everyone.
They cleaned their wounds and moved to a new camp. Even though they were already far away from where they had fought before, everyone still did not feel safe.
"Count the number of people," Wei Huan said to Linghu Yunying expressionlessly.
Linghu Yunying nodded and led a few disciples who were in relatively good condition to count the number of people …
Originally, they should have counted the number of people as soon as the battle was over, but they had to escape for a while to avoid more dark ancient dragons.
Wei Huan walked over to Xuan Ge.
"Xuan Ge God, although I know that you have consumed a lot of Divine Power since coming to Shadowed Scar, our current situation is very bad. I hope you can use your Heaven's Secret Divine Power to help us get out of this situation as soon as possible. I have a hunch that those predatory dragons will come again …" Wei Huan said sincerely.
"They will come again." Xuan Ge gave Wei Huan a definite answer. After hesitating for a while, Xuan Ge had no choice but to tell Wei Huan an unacceptable truth, "In fact, the current situation is already the smallest loss I can foresee …"
Wei Huan opened her mouth to say something, but she swallowed her words.
In other words, this was already the best result??
But they had lost twenty percent of their disciples!
Including Tian Shu and Xuan Ge's thirty percent, in just one night of fighting, they had lost more than a hundred people!
A Divine Master could not be meticulous about everything. Most of the time, she was like a bright star, telling those who had lost their way that they were on the right path. As for what dangers they would encounter on the way, she did not know them all.
Similarly, in this current crisis, Xuan Ge only knew that choosing this path would result in the smallest loss. As for what would happen or what variables would appear in the middle, she could not see them.
"If this kind of attack comes again, us gods with high cultivations will be able to survive, but most of the disciples will be completely lost …" Wei Huan let out a long sigh.
"Sword Immortal Wei, don't worry for now. I will think of a way to get everyone through safely," Xuan Ge said.
"En, please," Wei Huan said.
