The first wave of Dead Spirit Vines and Night Demon Firs' joint attack was ferocious, but it ended very quickly.
As the squad moved forward, the second and third waves were in the same situation.
Under Lin Huang's Mirror, none of the Dead Spirit Vines or Night Demon Firs that attacked were spared.
Virtuoso and the rest were even more amazed by the skill's heaven-defying abilities.
"This skill of yours … doesn't it consume Divine Power?" Lan Ling could not help asking after watching along the way.
"How is that possible?!" Lin Huang thought Lan Ling's question was a little ridiculous, but he explained patiently anyway, "Every time Mirror blocks an attack, I'll lose one-tenth of the Divine Power of the attacker that launched the attack. If the opponent's attack contains spiritual power, Rule Bending Power, or sequence power, I'll consume one-tenth of the opponent's spiritual power, Rule Bending Power, or sequence power. "
After listening to his explanation, Virtuoso and the rest were even more convinced that Mirror was a heaven-defying skill.
It only consumed one-tenth of the opponent's Divine Power, and it could reflect the opponent's attack perfectly.
It meant that they did not have to do anything at all. They could exhaust their enemies to death just by activating Mirror.
This was because no matter what kind of attack the opponent unleashed, their Divine Power would always be one-tenth of their opponent's.
After listening to Lin Huang's explanation, Saber9 pondered for a moment, trying to think of a way to overcome this. However, after thinking about it, there were only two ways.
One was to have an attack that exceeded Mirror's defense limit, which was ten times more than Lin Huang's most powerful attack. Saber9 felt that even most ninth-rank Heavenly Gods might not be able to do this.
The other way was to have many people surround and kill him.
Although it was very difficult for a single person to outstrip Lin Huang's Divine Power consumption, as long as there were enough people, they would be able to exhaust Lin Huang's Divine Power sooner or later.
Of course, Saber9 was not wrong in thinking this way. However, what he did not know was that Lin Huang's Divine Power was far more abundant than ordinary people's. To exhaust the Divine Power in Lin Huang's body in this way, the number of people needed was far more than he had expected.
As the team advanced in the fog, the number of rules Lin Huang obtained increased.
In less than half an hour, the number of Rules in his body had increased by tens of millions.
However, the group seemed to be heading deeper into the Demonic Fir Forest. The further they went, the higher the combat level of the Night Demon Firs and Dead Spirit Vines. The frequency at which Lin Huang and the others encountered other groups of monsters living in the Demonic Fir Forest also increased.
Although Virtuoso and the rest were beginning to join the battle one after another, the efficiency at which Lin Huang obtained Rule Bending Powers only increased.
After more than an hour, the total number of Rules in Lin Huang's body had exceeded 100 million.
However, he was still halfway to breaking through to ninth-rank.
Lin Huang was extraordinarily excited as well. If not for Virtuoso and the others, he would have hunted here until he achieved a breakthrough in combat strength.
Just as Lin Huang was in high spirits, Lan Ling's voice suddenly rang out.
"There might be a very powerful Dead Spirit Vine about ten kilometers ahead …"
"Can't you confirm the results of the investigation?" Virtuoso asked immediately.
"No, I didn't detect the Dead Spirit Vine, but I detected traces on the ground similar to those of Dead Spirit Vines sliding past." Lan Ling paused, then continued, "From the traces on the ground, this Dead Spirit Vine is at least three meters thick …"
Virtuoso fell silent after hearing what Lan Ling said.
"Three meters thick?! Are you sure you're not mistaken? "Lin Huang could not help asking. He also thought it was rather unbelievable.
One must know that most of the Dead Spirit Vines that Lin Huang and the rest had encountered earlier were only as thick as an adult's thigh. The thickest one was only as thick as a water bucket. Basically, they had not encountered many with a diameter of half a meter. Naturally, everyone would be confused when Lan Ling said that the Dead Spirit Vine was three meters thick.
"I'm very sure of its thickness!" Lan Ling added after saying that, "However, it might also be traces left behind by a monster like a giant python."
"If it's really a Dead Spirit Vine of this size, its combat strength might be above ninth-rank. There's also a high possibility that it's a half-step Lord," Virtuoso said, looking at Saber9 and Lin Huang.
Saber9 said nothing. Instead, he looked at Lin Huang.
When Lin Huang saw that everyone was looking at him, he knew that they were waiting for him to express his opinion. "I definitely can't defeat a half-step Lord. However … I think we can take a look first. What if it's not? "
"But what if it is?" Virtuoso asked Lin Huang.
"If it is, I have a way to escape." Lin Huang was not too worried. At most, he would have to use a scapegoat once. It was not like he would die. "However, there's a high chance that you'll die …"
"If there's really no other way, should I go scout ahead first?" Lin Huang suggested again.
"Wouldn't it be easier to just go around it?" Tu Tong could not help asking.
"Lan Ling only detected traces on the ground. Even if it's really a Dead Spirit Vine, we can't guarantee that it'll stay in that area forever. The other areas might not be safe either. After all, there must be many Night Demon Firs under such a huge Dead Spirit Vine's protection. We can't be sure where the boundaries of its protection are.
"Moreover, the area under this Dead Spirit Vine's protection should be huge. We can't completely eliminate the possibility that the phantom city's entrance is in this area. "
Lin Huang's last sentence was also the reason why Virtuoso was hesitating.
If they had not considered this, Virtuoso would have asked everyone to go around it without hesitation. They were unwilling to fight a half-step Lord powerhouse.
Saber9 had not expressed his opinion all this while because he was aware of this.
Seeing that Virtuoso could not make up their mind even after a long time, Saber9 could not help speaking up.
"How about this? The two kids stay here while the three of us go and take a look first."
The two kids were obviously referring to Lan Ling and Tu Tong. He had completely regarded Lin Huang as his peer.
Virtuoso only nodded when he heard that. "Let's do that."
"Are the two of you sure you won't die if you encounter a half-step Lord?" Lin Huang looked at Virtuoso and Saber9. "If you're not confident, I'll go alone."
"You're underestimating us," Virtuoso said angrily.
"My Primordium gave me something to protect my life." Saber9 was much more honest.
Although Virtuoso did not say so, it was clear that they had something similar.
"Alright then." Lin Huang had no objections now.
Virtuoso turned to look at Lan Ling and Tu Tong. "The two of you stay where you are. We'll inform you when we're done scouting."
Both of them nodded immediately. Although Virtuoso was not their master's Primordium, they were their master's clones after all. They dared not disobey their master's orders.
Seeing that Virtuoso had instructed the two of them, Lin Huang led them on their way.
Lan Ling watched as the three of them disappeared into the mist. After a while, she said weakly, "We have a life-saving technique that Master left for us …"
Beside her, Tu Tong patted her shoulder. "We'll only add to the mess if we go. Let's just stay here and wait for the results."
