Chapter 404: The Dogfight Began (2/2)
When the situation changed on Minghe's side, Giant Beasts of Starry Sky in the huge star also stood up in succession. Meanwhile, they leaned back and roared, which shocked the starry sky and transmitted to a distant place hundreds of millions of miles away. Tremendous and violent momentums rose up to the sky, as if to terrorize those cultivators in the starry sky. The powerful momentum rushed at everyone like a huge wave.
The experts of the Fate Realm could withstand he shock of the momentum, but the others of the realm were not as lucky. Under the effect of the momentum, many people crushed to death, and others were injured. They stopped after retreating to a very distant place. They just wanted to reap the spoils in the dogfight, even the corpse of Giant Beast of Starry Sky. But now, it seemed that they were being too optimistic.
Seeing the situation, Minghe could not help shaking his head. As expected, greed was one of the original sins. Most of these people below the Fate Realm had reached Peak of the Zenith Heaven Realm or Half Step to the Fate Realm. Although they were powerful enough, it was obvious that they were not capable of participating in this matter. They gathered here by taking a chance, so they paid a heavy price for it.
Minghe ignored these people and focused on the huge star. Giant Beasts of Starry Sky's sudden motion indicated the beginning of a great battle. Minghe and others wanted to seize these fruits, but these beasts also wanted to do so. A fierce fighting was unavoidable.
Now, only less than 100,000 beasts gathered in the huge star. Among them were over 2,000 from the Fate Realm. In terms of quantity, Minghe's party had no advantage. The beasts had strong bodies, but they did not understand the Law of Weapons and Arrays. In this aspect, Minghe's party had the upper hand.
Although the beasts were numerous, only about 2,000 beasts whose bodies had reached the Fate Realm, could actually pose a threat to Minghe's party. However, the 100,000 beasts below the Fate Realm were merely a pile of cannon fodder. Even the cultivators at the Early Stage could kill them.
A pile of cannon fodder was inessential, but the 2,000-odd beasts were different. If they wanted to seize the fruits, Minghe's party had to eliminate them or rush across their camps to get close to the Star Tree of Origin. Even if they did one point of the two, they still needed to be cautious of other cultivators' attacks. After all, it was a battle over limited places.
To get what he wanted, Minghe naturally needed some countermeasures. While he was pondering, Hongjun's voice suddenly came to his mind. ”Minghe, the Fruits of Stars of the Origin will mature soon, so the fighting is bound to break out soon. At that time, I'll join hands with you, to seize the two fruits containing the Origin of the sun and the moon. The one representing the sun is for you, and the other representing the moon is for me. Do you agree?”
Minghe heard that and replied through the sound transmission. ”The fighting is extremely dangerous. We need to be alert to those cultivators and beasts at the peak of the Fate Realm. They may also target the two fruits, so we should not stand out. We'd better seize other fruits first, and then wait for opportunities to seize the two fruits.”
Upon hearing this, Hongjun nodded slightly. Obviously, he agreed with Minghe's suggestion. If someone stood out, he could become a target for all. Until then, they would not succeed easily. However, when Hongjun agreed to Minghe's plan, there was an imperceptible weird look in his eyes, which Minghe had never noticed.
Even if he noticed that, Minghe might not guess what Hongjun's was thinking. Fortunately, Minghe was on his guard against Hongjun. Of course, Hongjun had his own ideas. So did Minghe. Despite the apparent willingness to cooperate, they respectively had their own plans.
Minghe stared at all Giant Beasts of Starry Sky and noticed their behaviors. As a few roars sounded, he said in a low voice, ”They are coming.” Like an army, all beasts rushed at all the people, who were overshadowed by their huge bodies.
As the beasts moved, Minghe's party was naturally reluctant to show weakness, displaying endless Taoist Laws and Magic Weapons. However, Minghe and Hongjun also refused to admit being inferior. A huge Blood Qi Palmprint and countless Divine Beings Thunder dropped from the sky to hit those Giant Beasts of Starry Sky. For a moment, the whole starry sky was permeated in a bloody atmosphere.
Not too far away, many cultivators, who were forced to retreat by the beasts' momentums, could not help shivering at the sight of the scene. It was really a fighting filled with death. Their trust in luck had already disappeared in the smell of blood and sounds of roaring. Most people left by flying and diving down, because they were not able to withstand such a fight. Only a few people were not scared; instead, they were in high spirits. This was the difference between the strong and the weak.
