The howling of the wind and sand continued to ring out, mixed with some heart-palpitating growls, causing everyone's heartstrings to tighten involuntarily.
Not only did they have to deal with the restless demon creatures that were attracted by the device, they also had a chance of being ambushed by the Sandstorm Demon Locusts that were gradually approaching them. The feeling of being grabbed by the throat was suffocating.
"They are coming, at least two hundred of them. They are coming from the direction where there are no mountains," Zhang Xiaohou said.
"What are they?" Mui Nujiao asked.
"Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards, I believe there's a nest nearby. A whole nest of Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards is on the move!" Zhang Xiaohou said.
"These creatures are tricky to deal with. Their bodies are covered in emerald armor made of sand. Their tails are as poisonous and penetrative as scorpions. They also possess the Earth Element, allowing them to control the sand at will. Their strength is stronger than most beasts!" Ge Ming said.
The Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards were an all-rounded species. They basically had no weaknesses. These demon creatures were a great threat to Mages. If their formation was broken, they would be in great danger.
"Leader, the situation isn't looking good!" a Hunter with the Wind Element said with a worried face.
"Are there demon creatures coming from the direction you were scouting?" Ge Ming asked.
"Not for now, but I did discover a huge nest in that direction. I believe the whole nest is coming at us once the device starts vibrating. It's going to be difficult for us to deal with them," the Hunter with the Wind Element said.
"How many are there?" Ge Ming asked.
"More than a thousand, leader …"
"They haven't made their move yet, right?" Ge Ming asked.
"Yeah, but they are already on the move."
"Lu Fang, you're in charge here. I'll try to keep the nest busy. A thousand Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards are going to deplete our energy. We can't let them come any closer," Ge Ming said.
"Leader, what are we going to do if you leave? We don't have much energy left," Li Sichong said with a long face.
Ge Ming did not say much. If a huge nest of demon beasts attacked, they would have no chance of survival. They could not let them come here no matter what.
Ge Ming was a Super Mage. It was unlikely that he would be in any danger if he were to lure the bigger nest away on his own. However, the others began to feel uneasy after Ge Ming left. Even the smaller nest was not easy to deal with!
"Houhou ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!!!!"
After a few roars, a few creatures emitting dark green light slowly appeared in the valley between the two sand dunes. They didn't run quickly. Instead, they stepped on the soft sand and approached bit by bit.
When they discovered that there were indeed humans here, they immediately howled a few times towards the sky, clearly informing their companions behind that there was delicious food here.
Not long after, more of the creatures in dark green armor showed up on the sand dunes. They were fully armed from head to toe, with sharp spikes on their backs. The spikes were sharp and terrifying when they extended their limbs due to their greed and hunger.
Their tails were very long and looked like a chain whip made of steel rings. At the end of the tail was a bloody spike that was half a meter long, comparable to a rapier!
"Isn't that a bit too many?" Wang Jiuming said stiffly when he saw more figures showing up.
"Those without energy, back off and protect yourselves," Lu Fang said.
"Zheng Tong, it's up to you," Xu Pingdong said.
Mo Fan, Zheng Tong, Tong Zhuang, and Yang Bao were the only ones who still had the strength to fight. They were leading the way.
They had to guard the entrance of the valley. They couldn't afford to let the Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards get any closer to the group. Everyone was seriously lacking energy. If the demon creatures broke through the formation, someone could easily lose their life!
"Yang Bao, you'll guard the slope. Tong Zhuang and I will take care of the entrance. As for you, you better hide at the back. Otherwise, the captain will blame us for not protecting you well," Zheng Tong said.
Before Mofan had a chance to speak, Zheng Tong and Tong Zhuang had already taken a few steps forward.
Zheng Tong's primary Element was the Fire Element. Normally, a fighter would at least have a Fire or Lightning Element.
He crossed his arms in front of his chest. A faint green flame was slowly ignited, and gradually split into a dozen huge fireballs.
The green flames seemed to have the ability to track their targets. They automatically found their targets and flew at the Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards that were closest to them, as if they were tracking their targets!
Tong Zhuang was a Curse Magician. He began to set up a Curse Trap. A blood-red spider web quickly appeared at the entrance of the valley. A few Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards that were relatively quick ended up falling into the Curse Trap, and had their souls and lives stolen!
The souls and lives that were stolen turned into some kind of energy, accumulating in a chain that looked like prayer beads on Tong Zhuang's palm. Following Tong Zhuang's furious roar, the fear of the Curse Trap turned into a wave of energy, surging at the other Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards. Five Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards immediately fled for their lives. Their bodies were shrouded by the Curse Trap!
Mofan glanced at the Curse Magician in astonishment. It turned out that he was the strongest Magician in the group, apart from Ge Ming. The man had been quiet all this while, proving the saying that a dog that bites does not bark … ugh, that wasn't the right way to put it.
"Hong hong hong hong ~ ~ ~ ~ ~!!"
Zheng Tong's fireballs were soon effective. They burned two Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards to death. The faint green flames remained on the sand, forming a wall of fire to stop the Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards from advancing any further.
"ROAR ROAR ROAR!"
The Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards at the vanguard began to roar when they realized that the humans were not easy to deal with.
The roar echoed outside the sand mountains. Soon, more roars echoed, and an unusual aura swept over.
"Another den is on the move!" Zhang Xiaohou, who was on sentry duty, told the group.
"We'll kill as many of them as they come. Humph, these Aquamarine Leopards are just so-so!" Zheng Tong said.
Zheng Tong had managed to kill some of the Aquamarine Leopards without using an Advanced Spell. It proved that the creatures were not as difficult to deal with as they had imagined.
"ROAR ROAR ROAR!!!"
"ROAR ROAR ROAR!!!"
More Aquamarine Leopards soon showed up in front of the group. Mofan immediately noticed that these Aquamarine Leopards were different from the ones that had attacked them at the beginning. Not only were their armor greener, like jade, they also had three tails!
"ROAR!!!"
One of the Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards with three tails stared at Zheng Tong. The cunning creature had a shocking burst of power. It suddenly attacked Zheng Tong while he was busy dealing with another group of Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards. Zheng Tong was given a great fright when he saw a sharp green ray lunging at him.
Luckily, Zheng Tong was an experienced Hunter. He immediately cast his second Element, Water Barrier, to form a barrier in front of him.
The defensive capabilities of the Water Barrier were very ordinary, and Zheng Tong was still sent flying by the attack, falling more than ten meters away.
He quickly rose to his feet and glared at the Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopard!
"Son of a b * * ch, I'm going to kill you!" Zheng Tong shouted. He raised two balls of flames with both hands and sent them into the sky.
The flames turned into a rain of fire, which poured down like rain. Each drop of fire that made contact with the sand immediately turned it into a sea of flames.
The Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopard had nowhere to run. Its armor quickly cracked open from the heat.
"Humph, too weak!" Zheng Tong said with a cold grin.
Very quickly, the Three-tailed Aquamarine Scorpion Leopard was reduced to a charred corpse. Zheng Tong couldn't help but turn around to look at his team members. He said, "I've killed their leader. The rest should be much easier to deal with."
"What leader?" Jiang Shaoxu asked.
"Zheng Tong, watch out!" Lu Fang yelled.
Zheng Tong was startled. He turned around and saw more than ten Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards charging at him along the slope. Their terrifyingly sharp tails were swinging wildly in the air, producing piercing screeches as they collided with one another!
All of them had three tails!
These Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards looked a lot stronger than the ones before, especially their tails that could move freely. When they attacked with brute force, their tails would lunge at their targets. Their attacks were so quick that it was difficult to see them clearly, nor was it easy to dodge them!
Zheng Tong was stunned. Could it be that the ones with three tails were the real Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards?
The ones he had killed so easily were the immature Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards!
Zheng Tong had used an Advanced Fire Spell to kill the Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopard with three tails. How the f * * k was he supposed to deal with sixteen of them now?
"Help me, help me!" Yang Bao suddenly yelled from a higher vantage point.
Zheng Tong was already in a tight spot. He did not have the time to care about Yang Bao.
Tong Zhuang frowned when he saw Yang Bao taking on thirty mature Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards on his own. He quickly went to help him.
"BOOM!!!"
All of a sudden, a dark lightning bolt came crashing down from the clear sky. The thick lightning bolt struck one of the Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards that was about to bite Tong Zhuang. The three-tailed Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopards died on the spot.
Tong Zhuang was startled. He was in a rush to help Yang Bao, yet he did not notice a cunning creature hiding behind the sand dune trying to ambush him.
However, that was not what shocked Tong Zhuang the most, but the fact that the lightning bolt had killed the Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopard instantly!
Zheng Tong had used an Advanced Spell to kill the Aquamarine Armor Scorpion Leopard with three tails!
"Thanks!" Tong Zhuang said to Mofan, who was standing not far away.
"You and Yang Bao stay on the higher vantage point, I'll guard the entrance," Mofan said to Tong Zhuang.
"Not a problem," Tong Zhuang nodded. His mind was still replaying the scene of the lightning bolt …
Wasn't the lightning bolt a little too powerful? Why did it feel like it was as strong as an Advanced Spell?
