Chapter 355: the vanguard

Translator: 549690339 

the next day, around noon.

the group of people rode their respective pets in batches and headed toward the gem tower.

“test if you can receive my message.”

“received!” “received!”

“alright, let’s act according to plan!”

under the pale sky, bai wushang was half-leaning on the back of the lightning blade mantis, charging forward at a normal speed.

the rest of the people spread out and followed behind in groups of two or three, keeping a sufficient distance.

“xiao ci, this mission is very important. you must be careful.”

“thunderbolt ~!!”

the silver-gray praying mantis had already eaten its fill, and its energy was at its peak.

he slashed his sickle in the air and responded in a straightforward manner.

bai wushang looked back and only saw a few of his teammates. he could vaguely see a dark shadow.

most of them were hidden in unknown places, their whereabouts unknown.

he took a deep breath and his eyes suddenly darkened.

based on the type of power he was good at, bai wushang’s position in this battle was called “guerilla.”

of course, before that, he would take the lead and fight first.

they would be the vanguard as bait!

he took a break along the way, controlling his physical strength while replenishing his lightning power.

bai wushang had been driving at full speed for nearly an hour.

finally, the tall and magnificent multi-colored gem tower appeared a few kilometers away.

“swish!”

“roar! slaughter! slaughter!”

the open space on the ground was densely packed with monsters.

in the darkness, there were countless sinister and terrifying figures of humans and beasts.

in the sky, blackened blood eagle warriors, gem eagles, gem firebirds … they were either circling or chasing, circling not far from the lightning blade mantis.

bai wushang’s gaze swept past black-eyed myron, who was riding on a big yellow bird, past xu hong, who was on the back of the diamond-beaked crane, past the dark grey demon crow, past the familiar and strange human masters, and finally fixed on the black figure floating tens of meters in the air.

black robe!

the core goal of this hunt!

“capture him alive!”

a hoarse, strange, and disgusting sound like metal rubbing against metal rang out.

this was the first time bai wushang had heard black robe speak.

but he didn’t have time to think too much, because xiao ci was still flying at full speed, dodging dozens of long-range skills.

“boom! boom! boom!”

electric arcs flickered, and under bai wushang’s instructions, the mantis began to flee in the opposite direction.

at the same time, he communicated with his mind. ” i’ve seen black robe. the other party is in pursuit. prepare to receive him! ”

“received!” “don’t worry, we’ve arrived at the ambush point!” “understood!”

“whoosh! whoosh!”

a blue screen of light appeared and covered the lightning electromagnetic field, blocking the countless aoe skills.

there were too many monsters, and their abilities were too varied. bai wushang was forced to activate a precious artifact.

although he did not participate in the battle, his adrenaline was surging, driving his brain to work crazily. he was in a state of extreme excitement, but in fact, he was extremely calm.

“boom!”

a golden laser beam flashed and the blue light screen shattered, disappearing into the air.

bai wushang’s reaction was extremely fast. he triggered the second one and continued to escape.

behind him, the black robe wandered in the green light, and his already evil temperament was even more indescribable.

he didn’t chase after them like he did last time. instead, he waited for an opportunity under the cover of the monsters.

” they’re here, they’re here. i see you. get ready to intercept them! ”

dai muhe’s thought resounded, and bai wushang quickly confirmed his position as he dodged and moved. at the same time, he predicted the enemy’s position, and his face suddenly changed:

” wait, they’re too scattered. give me ten more seconds. don’t make a move yet! ”

as he spoke, bai wushang changed the channel and switched to the contract channel, ” “xiao ci, to the right, circle around!”

“thunderbolt!”

due to the protection of the protective shield, the lightning blade mantis did not launch any attacks other than flying.

moreover, it was not suitable for them to stop and fight in this kind of pursuit.

they would be pulled in the opposite direction, and if they were not careful, they would fall into an encirclement, making it difficult to escape.

it could be said that at this moment, bai wushang was dancing on the tip of a knife, tormenting himself with his life.

there was no other reason. as a vanguard and a lure, he had not attracted enough aggro.

if he didn’t complete his mission, it would no doubt seriously affect the subsequent actions of his teammates, thus burying many uncertain factors.

finally, when the second precious artifact shattered, bai wushang felt that it was about time.

he followed his escape route and rushed in a certain direction.

“do it!”

using some kind of invisibility talisman, his teammates, who were hiding in the dark, suddenly summoned their pets.

the first was dai muhe’s desert penguin. under the replication of the blood inheritance talent-illusion doppelganger, it activated the double flying sand castle.

this time, it was no longer to protect bai wushang or to fight for a chance for him to escape.

instead, it formed an angle from the ground to the sky, completely tearing apart the monsters that were chasing after it.

hu gang’s spider-web vine demon and zhu qin’s great flame sparrow followed closely behind.

the former had planted a large number of seeds in advance, and after activating the skill ‘crazy growth’, all of them were catalyzed.

they formed a dividing line from the side, further dividing and blocking the land creatures.

the latter released a sky full of flames, but it was not an ambush. instead, it was aimed at the outer area.

this was to create a ” death zone ” to prevent monsters from approaching and force them to escape to other areas.

in an instant, the puppet army under black robe’s command was split into several pieces of various sizes.

unfortunately, due to the mental pollution, they did not have any fear.

otherwise, under the surprise attack, they would be even more panicked and thus break up the formation.

now, they were only a step away. the darkened creatures used their instincts to distance themselves from the flames, vines, and yellow sand, and began to pursue the ” enemies ” in various areas, which were bai wushang’s teammates.

” attention all units, the first round of control is in place. the completion rate is 80%, higher than expected! ”

this was gongsun yun’s will, and he was pleasantly surprised. however, he immediately sent a message, ”

“main attacker, charge! follow chi yan and kill the black robes. the rest of you, activate the second chain of control!”

with these two messages, bai wushang was a little excited. he turned around and saw that the battlefield was blooming.

from the moment the yellow sand, vines, and flames merged into one and divided the battlefield at the same time …

he would no longer be the center of attention, and he would no longer need to fight against the pressure of nearly a hundred monsters and escape.

he was able to catch his breath after being slightly further away from the edge of life and death.

from the corner of his eyes, black robe, who was a thousand meters away, had a lock-shaped talisman hanging on his head, and he was slowly descending uncontrollably.

it was one of zhu qin’s trump cards, similar to the weight-increasing and speed-reducing talisman that situ chi had used to sneak an attack on xiao ci.

this kind of treasure that could forcefully lock onto and restrict a creature’s movements was a natural counter to speed-type transcendent creatures.

if they could not break free quickly, their advantage would be gone, and they would easily be suppressed, which would lead to defeat.

of course, zhu qin’s talisman was even more precious and special. it was called “flight restriction,” but its actual ability was to completely restrict flight.

however, black robe was still black robe. after he was forced to land on the ground, he waved his hand and a gem wolf king flew over, obediently becoming his mount.
