Free Web NovelChapter 8830: Growth (1)
The elder looked at the thing in his hand. It was a very simple array, but he felt that he had seen the array talisman on the array before, but he also felt that he had never seen it before. Moreover, this array was obviously an array disc, and it was a one-time use item. After being used once, it could not be used again.
However, this array disc was different from the ones that the elder had seen before. The elder was not very proficient in arrays, so he put the array disc away after looking at it for a while. He then turned to the others and said, " "Alright, everyone, let’s go. We’ve been out for a month. The sect will calculate how many slave soldiers we’ve killed in this month. The more we kill, the more rewards the sect will give us. Although a few people died in battle this time, this is inevitable. At the same time, it will remind you that this is a real battle, and anything can happen. You must be careful. After all, this is not a real illusion. We only have one life. If you die this time, you will die forever."
Everyone responded in unison and their expressions calmed down. Although this was the first time they had seen their comrades die in front of them, they were cultivators after all. Their usual cultivation had made their hearts as hard as stone, so they were able to recover so quickly. However, there was still a trace of sadness in their eyes, but at the same time, there was a trace of determination.
The elder looked at them and nodded. He then said, " "This time, Li Tong will be the one to take credit. If he hadn’t discovered it early and warned you, even more people would have died. Therefore, Li Tong’s credit is the greatest. I believe that no one will object to this, right?" After saying that, the elder looked at the crowd. Everyone shook their heads. Of course, they wouldn’t object. It could be said that Li Tong’s reminder this time had saved them. Of course, they wouldn’t object.
"Alright, let’s go then." The elder nodded. After saying that, he led the group and flew forward. In fact, he had not realized that the slave soldiers had actually brought such a thing, which was why they had suffered such a great loss. However, he was not entirely to blame. The main reason was that there was a rule in the blood slaughter sect that the leading elders were not allowed to interfere in a hunting trial like this. They were only responsible for leading the disciples. During a battle, they were not allowed to interfere unless they met with the other party’s training. Those disciples were indeed no match for those people. Otherwise, he would not have been able to interfere. It was also because of this that those disciples had died in battle.
The elder understood that the sect was doing this to let these disciples face real danger. This way, they could really train them. Although there would be some casualties, just like this time, the sect could bear such casualties. In fact, they must bear it because such casualties were much smaller than the casualties caused by the previous training of disciples. It could be said that it was not worth mentioning at all.
These elders all understood that one day in weitian, they would have to fight with the people from the Shadow Realm. At that time, the scene would be even more tragic than now. The enemies they would face would be more elite. In the face of such an enemy, it was completely necessary to train the disciples like this.
The elder continued to lead the disciples forward. There was less of a sense of relief in the group and more of a sense of heaviness. However, these bloody massacre sect disciples finally had a sense of military might. The elder looked at the disciples and couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. He didn’t know if this was a good thing or a bad thing for these disciples. They had gained a lot today, but at the same time, they had lost a lot. The things they had lost could never be found again.
The group walked in silence. No one seemed to be interested in talking. After about two hours, they found another group of slave soldiers, but they didn’t fly in the sky. Instead, they landed on the ground and rested. They immediately made this group of slave soldiers their target.
The terrain of the blood sea realm had changed again. The plants in the blood sea realm had grown a lot taller, and they seemed to be similar to the plants in the wilderness world. Perhaps it was because The White Tiger runes had been added to the heaven and earth runes, but the plants in the blood sea realm had grown taller. Although they were not as bad as the plants in the wilderness world, they were not far from it.
It was for this reason that in the blood sea realm, many of the battles between the bloody massacre sect disciples and the Shadow Realm’s slave soldiers took place in the forest. Therefore, it was not strange to find those slave soldiers in the forest. Li Tong and the others immediately made their way over.
Although they were going to attack the slave soldiers, and the slave soldiers seemed to be resting there without any defense, Li Tong and the others didn’t dare to be careless this time. They moved forward carefully, constantly looking around to see if there was anything suspicious or a trap.
However, when they were about 100 meters away from the slave soldiers, they still didn’t find any traps. However, they didn’t attack rashly. Instead, they stopped for a moment and exchanged a look with each other. Then, they slowly moved forward. At the same time, they kept observing those people, trying to see if they made any movements.
Suddenly, Li Tong noticed a tree branch on one side. It was very ordinary, but there was a very thin, almost transparent line tied to it. The other end of the line was connected to the hand of a slave soldier. The slave soldier was sitting there resting, but his hand had not moved at all.
Seeing this, Li Tong immediately waved his hand. Everyone stopped and looked at Li Tong. Li Tong looked at everyone but didn’t say anything. Instead, he pointed at the branch on the ground and the thin line on the branch. Then, he slowly took two steps back.
They were still dozens of meters away from the slave soldiers. At this distance, even if they spoke, the slave soldiers wouldn’t be able to hear them because the White fog had blocked their senses. They should be fine. However, Li Tong and the others had all learned their lesson and didn’t speak.
The others also saw Li Tong’s actions. They looked down at their feet and found that there was a branch every few meters under their feet, and there was a thin line tied to the branch. This discovery made them all nervous and they all took a few steps back.
After that, they retreated a hundred meters away and came to a tree. Everyone gathered together. However, since the two dangers had been discovered by Li Tong, everyone unconsciously turned their eyes to Li Tong. Li Tong looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, " "I don’t think it’s a trap this time. They’re really resting. The reason why they tied the branches with thin lines and threw them on the ground was to warn them in advance. I noticed that there were some thin lines around them two meters ahead for warning purposes. If there were enemies or demon beasts trying to attack them, they could feel it through the vibration of the thin lines even if they couldn’t see it. We don’t need to wait any longer, let’s just attack. We’re not far from them anyway, and even if they feel it, we’ll be in front of them. What do you think?" Although Li Tong was still young, he seemed to have matured after the previous stimulation. Therefore, the words he said now were somewhat organized.
Hearing Li Tong’s words, everyone nodded in agreement. At this time, another person said, " "But I’m a little worried about that thin thread. What if it’s something like a poisonous spider’s thread? I also noticed that they are all surrounded by these thin threads, even above their heads. If it’s really just for warning, don’t you think they used too many of these things?"
When everyone heard him say this, they all turned to look at him. This man was called Lu Qing. He was also a faithful slave, but he was very careful. He was usually very careful and eager to learn. He also had a good relationship with Li Tong. Upon hearing his words, everyone couldn’t help but nod their heads. Even Li Tong frowned.
After thinking for a while, Li Tong turned to look at the place where the slave soldiers were resting and said in a deep voice, " &Quot; I don’t believe that the thin threads used by those people are like poisonous spider silk, but they may have a certain defensive effect, which will have a certain impact on our attacks. How about this? we will split into two teams. The first team will have ten people, led by you, Lu Qing. You only have one task, which is to go up first and destroy those thin threads with your magic weapons, even if those thin threads are very tough and not easy to destroy. In that case, all of you should also pull those thin lines apart. Don’t let them block our attack route. I will lead the rest of you and attack with all our might. What do you all think?"
This was the first time everyone had participated in a battle, and they were all at a loss. Now that Li Tong was willing to come up with an idea and lead the way, everyone was naturally happy. They all nodded, including Lu Qing. Li Tong did not hold back and divided the manpower, then prepared to move out.
During the whole process, the elder didn’t say anything, nor did he try to stop them. He just watched quietly from the side. However, the way he looked at Li Tong and Lu Qing was a little different now. He felt that the two of them were interesting. Li Tong was very meticulous and had a certain leadership ability, while Lu Qing was more meticulous and very good at analyzing. However, he didn’t seem to be very decisive and couldn’t compare with Li Tong in this aspect. He could only play the role of an assistant or a military advisor, but if these two people cooperated well, they would become a good tower shield.
The purpose of this trial test was not only to let the disciples see blood, but also to let them know what a real battlefield was. It was also a test. They wanted to choose some outstanding disciples from these disciples and focus on training them. From the elder’s point of view, Li Tong’s Lu Qing was good.
