As Ling Ling had predicted, even though Zhao Manyan was struggling to defend himself from the attacks of the White Sand Giants at the beginning, in the following few waves of attacks, Zhao Manyan managed to stabilize the situation due to the White Sand Giants' enormous size and numbers. The White Sand Giants were blocking each other's attacks, and they did not have any long-range attacks.
A defensive Magician like Zhao Manyan was struggling to clear the White Sand Giants around him. As such, it did not matter if he was surrounded by two or three circles of White Sand Giants. Only the first and second circles of White Sand Giants could land a hit on him. As long as the White Sand Giants were unable to break through Zhao Manyan's thick tortoise shell, Zhao Manyan could still hold on for some time!
On the other hand, Zhang Xiaohou's situation was relatively better. The number of White Sand Giants on Zhao Manyan's side was significantly lower.
Similar to Zhao Manyan, Zhang Xiaohou did not have many destructive spells. Instead of wasting his energy trying to kill the White Sand Giants, it was better to lead them around in circles.
The white sand covering the ground allowed Zhang Xiaohou to cast Earth Wave at will. On top of that, he also had a Soul Seed, which made his Earth Magic even more effective.
The White Sand Giants were not fast. They even needed two seconds to lift their heavy sand sabers, which gave Zhang Xiaohou enough time to react with his agile body.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
The giant sand sabers slashed at Zhang Xiaohou's movement path, yet they only hit the turbulent air currents left behind by Zhang Xiaohou's rapid movement. There were only three Basic Spells that could allow a Magician to move extremely quickly, and Zhang Xiaohou had mastered two of them.
On top of that, Zhang Xiaohou was equipped with impressive Magic Boots. He was one of the few agile Magicians who could move freely among the demon creatures.
Zhang Xiaohou continued to run forward. He turned around and saw the clumsy White Sand Giants were already a hundred meters behind him. As he was about to feel proud of his speed, he suddenly saw a huge cloud of sand rising from the white sand in front of him!
Ten White Sand Giants rose into the air. They used their sturdy bodies to form a giant sand wall over twenty meters tall!
Zhang Xiaohou suddenly realized that these White Sand Giants were not stupid enough to walk on their own feet. In this long river full of sand, they could easily burrow into the ground and quickly move to their desired location. Otherwise, how could the White Sand Giants gather in front of the enemy so quickly?
The White Sand Giants swung their sabers at Zhang, who was charging at them. Zhang was unable to change his path in time, as he quickly drew a Star Pattern under his feet.
"Rock Barrier!"
Zhang Xiaohou came to a stop and slid to the front of the White Sand Giants. He shoved his hands forward, and a rock barrier formed by the Flowing Swamp Soul Seed rose from the ground in front of Zhang Xiaohou!
The towering rock barrier protected Zhang Xiaohou, and the ten Sand Blades that flew down all landed on this defense!
The strength of the White Sand Giants was indeed shocking. Together with the sand sabers, Zhang Xiaohou's Spirit-grade Earth Element Defensive Spell was quickly shattered into pieces after a series of frenzied attacks.
Zhang Xiaohou's heart pounded rapidly when he saw this. A blue whirlwind suddenly appeared under his feet. The outline of the wind looked like a pair of boots attached to Zhang Xiaohou's feet.
The Wind Boots boosted Zhang Xiaohou's speed to the max. Wherever Zhang Xiaohou went, a cloud of dust would be kicked up. The White Sand Giants that were chasing after Zhang Xiaohou initially wanted to squash Zhang Xiaohou into a meat patty, but they missed their target. Instead, they crashed into the human wall formed by the ten White Sand Giants.
Zhang Xiaohou broke out in cold sweat when he heard a loud crash behind him, as if a car accident had taken place.
Luckily, he had used the Magic Boots that he had obtained not long ago. If the White Sand Giants had intercepted him, he would have died a horrible death to the sabers, no matter how agile he was.
After taking a short rest, Zhang Xiaohou glanced at Mo Fan in the other direction.
Unlike Zhao Manyan and Zhang Xiaohou, Mo Fan prioritized killing!
Mo Fan was a person who was full of offensive Elements. He would not waste his time with the White Sand Giants. The combination of his Lightning and Fire Spells was too much for the White Sand Giants to resist, even with their thick sand armor.
The Fiery Fist: Nine Halls of the Fire Element was extremely effective against the demon beasts. As long as Mo Fan cast the spell once, the White Sand Giants would fall to the ground in droves!
However, the Fiery Fist: Nine Attacks was not something that could be completed in an instant. Mo Fan had to find the right time to complete the Star Pattern while he was busy casting other Spells. Luckily, the battle was taking place at night, allowing him to utilize the Shadow Element to its fullest potential. Otherwise, he would not have had the chance to complete the complicated Star Pattern when so many White Sand Giants were swarming at him like waves.
Mo Fan was not unfamiliar with being surrounded by demon beasts. Previously, when he was surrounded by the Giant Lizards at Jinlin City, he had used his fourth-tier Lightning Strike to create a paralyzing electric field that prevented the giant lizards from getting close to him.
Unfortunately, the paralyzing effect of the Lightning Strike did not work on the White Sand Demons. Elemental Beasts did not have flesh or blood. Even the damage inflicted by lightning would be reduced by a little. Therefore, Mo Fan had to use his Lightning Spells to penetrate and kill them.
The most practical one was still the power of the Fire Element. A Level-4 Fire Burst, Rupture might not be able to severely injure these White Sand Giants, but it could quickly disrupt their formation. A few more Fire Burst, Rupture would be able to blast these White Sand Giants into pieces.
Every time a White Sand Giant was killed, its Soul Remnant would be devoured by the Little Loach Pendant. Since the beginning, Mo Fan had killed at least ten White Sand Giants. The Soul Remnants of the White Sand Giants all looked very high-grade. Initially, Mo Fan still needed around thirty Servant-class Soul Remnants to refine a Soul Essence. However, after collecting ten Soul Remnants of the White Sand Giants, the Little Loach Pendant had already produced a Servant-class Soul Essence!
As a matter of fact, Mo Fan had already strengthened all five Stars of the Shadow Element. Now that he had obtained another one, he only needed one more to upgrade his Basic Shadow Spell, Fleeing Shadow to the fourth tier!
However, he still needed to kill another 40 of these White Sand Giants before he could condense a complete Servant-class Soul Essence. Only then could his Fleeing Shadow be upgraded.
