1739 The Key (1/2)
”That's because these red armor soldiers are not weak either.” Ling Qingfeng explained. ”See those ten thousand Celestial Cultivation soldiers? They are forming an Earth-God level battle formation, which can exert Earth-God strength. Also, there's a Two-star Earth-God instrument in the formation for both offensive and defensive attacks!”
Chen Xiaobei nodded. ”Mm, I see that. That battle formation alone is enough to keep the Dragon Emperor occupied.”
Ling Qingfeng continued, ”Not to mention that their God-Ascension and Ethereal Cultivation elites are greater in number than us and they each have one Earth-God instrument more than we do!”
Chen Xiaobei narrowed his eyes as he deliberated. ”The enemy may have more people and more Earth-God instruments, but you have dragon blood! Don't you have the advantage?”
Ling Qingfeng shook her head. ”The Spirit Light is probably too bright for you to see clearly but the enemy's God-Ascension and Ethereal Cultivation elites also have dragon's blood!”
Chen Xiaobei narrowed his eyes, focusing intently. ”I see it now! The enemy has red dragon scales! Could they be the descendants of a vermilion dragon?”
”Yes! We, the Divine Dragon tribe are the descendants of the Azure Dragon, and they, the Vermilion Dragon!” Ling Qingfeng confirmed. ”As a whole, in number, combat power, Earth-God instruments, and blood Special Ability, they are far superior to us! That's why no matter how hard we fought for the past month, we couldn't drive them away!”
Chen Xiaobei nodded. ”If that's the case, it must have been quite a daunting task to even get a draw with the enemy!”
”Yeah… It wasn't easy at all…” Ling Qingfeng said. ”Because neither side has an Earth-God, we had to rely on Spiritual Qi to use the Earth-God Instruments. That's why after each battle, the enemy would always retreat into a formation to top up on Spiritual Qi and Spiritual Stones. We, on the other hand, can just absorb Spiritual Qi from the Divine Dragon's remains, which means we can use our Earth-God Instruments without taking any breaks. That's how we've been able to maintain our fight in the battle and end up in a draw.” Ling Qingfeng could not help but heave a deep sigh. ”If it were not for the Divine Dragon's body, we would have fallen already!”
Chen Xiaobei said reassuringly, ”Don't worry! Now that I'm here, I will help you take care of this problem!”
”Do you have a plan already?” Ling Qingfeng looked at Chen Xiaobei with hopeful eyes.
”It looks like the enemy is going to retreat!” Chen Xiaobei said. ”We'll wait for your people to return. The first thing we'll do is to piece that Earth-God Instrument together, find out its secrets within, and then figure out what to do next!”
”Okay!” Ling Qingfeng nodded. ”I have a very strong feeling... that Earth-God Instrument must be the key solution!”
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the red silhouettes in the battlefield shielded each other before retreating and blending into the formation which was made up of 10,000 Celestial Cultivation soldiers.
They were replenishing Spiritual Qi for their Earth-God Instruments, and of course, to rest, and replenish their Ethereal Force in their dantian.
Only once they had rested, would the battle continue.
The Divine Dragon tribe had eased their blood's special ability and began retreating a few hundred meters backward.
Although they could use the Spiritual Qi from the Divine Dragon's carcass to continue powering the Earth-God instruments, they too needed to rest and recover after the long period of battle.
This endless cycle of fighting and resting had become a routine for the past month.
This was a seesaw battle where the winners and losers were not quickly determined but depended on who could last longer.
Soon, the Divine Dragon royal family returned.
