Chapter 5278: Chapter 5276-everyone in a tough battle
Translator: 549690339
Leng Leng did not dare to be negligent. She did not hold back at all. Before her opponent’s scythe forelimbs could slash down, she did not hesitate to use her most powerful ice prison mirror Shatterer. In a split second, an extreme chill surrounded her body. The two black scythes closest to her opponent were instantly covered in a layer of ice crystals. Even their movements were clearly slowed down by a lot.
Insects had always been creatures that were extremely afraid of the cold, and praying mantis was no exception. Even this black praying mantis, which was comparable to a golden core stage existence, had the weakest resistance to the cold. To some extent, it was restrained by Leng Leng’s ice-shattering physique. It was also because of the huge suppression in strength. If Leng Leng broke through to the Golden core stage, it would not pose any threat at all.
Unfortunately, Leng Leng was only at the perfected Foundation establishment stage. The ice prison mirror Shatterer was not able to completely freeze her. Instead, it had only slowed the black praying mantis ‘movements significantly. Its speed had been reduced by more than 70%!
That was enough. Coold took the opportunity to retreat and blend into the crowd’s formation. She used herself as the Arrowhead and shouted,”Third tactic!”
“Understood!” Everyone replied in unison. Lin Yi had given them a typical defensive formation, but it wasn’t just a turtle shell that only defended and didn’t attack. There were several tactics, and the third one was to move around and pin down the enemy.
Only by passively defending would one fall into a disadvantageous position. Using offense as defense and waiting for an opportunity to move around for a dynamic defense was even more impregnable.
With Leng Leng as the head, song Lingshan, Wu Chentian, and Yu Bing as the backbone, and Ying Ziyu and the others as backup, once this formation was formed, its power would be far greater than what they were supposed to be. No one was a burden-they were all important members, important combat forces.
The ice prison mirror shatters ‘effects were especially outstanding. The murderous black praying mantis was suddenly in slow motion. The group moved around like fish in water. They touched each other, and each time they attacked, they would retreat and retreat. They did not give the opponent any chance to fight back. Even if the black praying mantis tried to force its way out a few times, it would be intercepted by the other people in charge of defense. It could not hurt the group at all.
“You bunch of despicable human scum! You only know how to be sneaky. Do you dare to fight me face to face?” The black praying mantis was almost driven mad by the crowd.
Although the power of everyone’s attacks was far from strong, its shell body was much weaker than usual due to the ice prison mirror. Each attack would leave some shallow scars. One or two was fine, but many ants could kill an elephant. Even the smallest injuries accumulated would be fatal. Not to mention, the damage caused by the group was only small, but not to the extent of being small.
“Idiot! This is called human intelligence!” Wu Chengtian laughed. They were already very familiar with this tactic. Almost all the spirit beasts that blocked their way were killed by them. It seemed like it was effective against golden core spirit beasts.
They had dawned a little, but it was only effective. With the strength of this group of people, they were actually able to slowly kill a spirit beast comparable to the Golden core stage. What could be more exciting than this?
“Everyone, speed up the pace. I have a bad feeling about this.” Leng Leng suddenly whispered at this moment. Using the roaming tactic would inevitably lead to a protracted battle, and from their previous experience, there was usually only one result, and that was when the other party had suffered enough, they would run away. In order to maintain the formation, the group would not have the ability to pursue.
Of course, this result wasn’t bad for them. After all, if they really forced the other party into a desperate situation, they would definitely struggle at all costs, and they might have to pay the price of casualties. It was best to avoid it if possible.
Apart from that, there was another additional risk, and that was the long delay would bring more trouble.
Just like last time, everyone was only facing a spirit beast at the perfected Foundation Stage. They could have easily taken down the other party, but in the end, another late Foundation Stage spirit beast had drawn in after a long delay, and they were surrounded from all sides. At that time, Leng Leng had a bad premonition, and now it had appeared again.
When they heard Leng Leng’s words, everyone’s hearts trembled. They immediately increased their pace. They did not ask for anything else other than to chase the black praying mantis away as soon as possible.
In the blink of an eye, the black praying mantis’s Greaves were covered in several wounds. It was then broken by coold’s kick. Although losing a leg did not affect it as much as a human ‘s, it was still frightened.”A bunch of lunatics!”
In order to break its leg, coold and the others had to pay the price of injuries, including Yu Bing. This was completely different from their previous style of running away. They were basically trading injuries for injuries-it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call them crazy.
Unfortunately, the black praying mantis was an existence comparable to the Golden core stage after all. The way they fought would only make it feel angry. Unless they could really seriously injure it, it would be a fool’s dream to scare it away.
However, Leng Leng and the others did not slow down just like that. Instead, they worked together to speed up the pace. They did not know if their premonition was accurate, but as long as there was a one in ten thousand chance, they could not ignore it. They had to get rid of the black Mantis as soon as possible. Otherwise, if other powerful spiritual beasts surrounded them and attacked them from the front and back, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, most of the time, the more anxious one was, the more things would turn out contrary to one’s wishes. Just like now, coold and the others had raised their pace, but the effect was only barely satisfactory. They had paid a sufficient price, but they still could not really shake the other party’s heart. On the contrary, they became more and more angry from embarrassment, making them more difficult to deal with.
“We can’t go on like this …” Lengleng’s heart was burning with anxiety. She knew that she’d made a big mistake. She believed that if it was Lin Yi, he wouldn’t have picked up the pace and started attacking. In the end, she still didn’t have enough battle experience. She was still too inexperienced.
Leng Leng gritted her teeth. Since Lin Yi had entrusted everyone’s safety to her, she had to take everyone out of here. No matter what kind of danger they faced, she had to shoulder it all!
However, the current situation wasn’t something that could be solved with determination and resolve. Leng Leng’s strength was not enough to seriously injure her opponent. Even if she had such a method, she couldn’t use it easily, because she would definitely be in an extremely weak state after that. Without her, who was the key person to lead the team? how would song Lingshan and the others deal with the danger?
