Chapter 115: Kill and Hulk

When the True Qi of Extraordinary Rank-5 Nine Yang Divine Art was realized, one could only imagine what it would feel like to be struck by it.

Moreover, the Forest Monster King made a mistake.

Obviously, if it hadn’t worn the metal armor to show its superior status, which made it stand out from all the Forest Monsters, maybe it could withstand the True Qi of Nine Yang with its strong body and its extraordinary power!

But now, it doubtlessly felt like a piece of bacon lying on a sizzling pan!

Speaking of which, although Ji Ye had only just made a breakthrough into Extraordinary Rank-5, he was very at home with using the True Qi of Nine Yang. It wasn’t just because he had mastered the essence of the technique during the Fusion.

It was also to a large extent because the Nine Yang Divine Art he obtained earlier not only constrained the technique itself, but it also included the thoughts of Zhou Zhiruo, the Hero of Emei.

The strike earlier might seem simple, but he had exerted the True Qi in a split second to make the temperature rise to its extreme.

“Roar!”

So much so that the Forest Monster King, who feared high temperature and fire to begin with, puffed out white smoke from its mouth and nostrils at the impact of the strike.

Because it couldn’t immediately draw back the two purple sticks that had grown longer, it could only growl and smash down at Ji Ye’s head with his mahogany shield that was half the height of a grown man.

But it only hit empty air.

Because after Ji Ye smacked it with his palm, he had already made a few swift steps to the side, walking from in front of the monster to its back.

In the duel before, humans had discovered that although the Forest Monsters reacted quickly to the attacks in front of them, the area right behind them was a blind spot for them. If one was fast enough, they could make the monsters defenseless, even if they had four hands and four weapons.

Pa!

When Ji Ye was behind the Forest Monster King, he smacked its armor again. The armor was already glowing red. This time, the spot where he had hit seemed to start melting!

“Roar!”

White smoke was rising even out of the Forest Monster King’s ears. Finally, it couldn’t bear the pain and howled in pain. Without turning back, it swung the yellow mallet backward and smashed it down backward at Ji Ye!

“Pew!”

However, before its attack landed on Ji Ye, the hand that was holding the yellow mallet was severed from its arm. It flew off, spilling green blood.

A half-transparent blade that was almost undetectable lay on Ji Ye’s arm; its outline was drawn by the Forest Monster King’s green blood.

The Violet Jade Dual Blades!

This pair of blades was dropped after Ji Ye killed the elite Violet Jade Mantis. Because he had been using crossbows to make long-range attacks or killing his enemy with the Black Serpent Sword, he hardly ever used these blades.

This time, he was finally able to exercise their ability in this rare close-range combat.

The Forest Monster King had strong close-range combat abilities. After all, it had four hands and had even defeated Lu Zhishen. However, Ji Ye had obviously suppressed it.

Because during this time, apart from having practiced the Nine Yang Divine Art until he reached the Great Mastery stage, Ji Ye had also reached the Lesser Mastery stage in Jade Ring Steps, Lovers’ Feet. Moreover, he had planned in advance to injure the Forest Monster King’s legs with the white-jade flying sword.

If he couldn’t dominate the battle after that, it would be quite incredible!

“Roar!”

The excruciating pain from having its hand cut off finally made the Forest Monster King ignore the pain from the scorching armor. It tried its best to turn its head and let out bellows that sounded like claps of thunder. A soundwave in the shape of a white cylinder came out of its mouth like an explosion, which finally forced Ji Ye to back away.

Pa!

However, while Ji Ye was evading the “sound cannon”, he left a semi-transparent white mirage stone on the spot.

It suddenly exploded under the Forest Monster King’s feet, creating a large plume of white steam that blocked its view. It could no longer chase Ji Ye with its soundwave cannon.

However, the white steam dispersed very fast, and the Forest Monster King that was enshrouded in it could see clearly again.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Forest Monster King turned livid. The purple sticks on its arms suddenly became several times larger. With a horrible whooshing sound, it smashed down at Ji Ye, who was back to face it and tried to ambush it.

Boom!

Ji Ye seemed to have been caught off guard. The big, terrifying purple sticks that had been activated by the extraordinary power smashed right down at him. The next second, he turned into a cloud of white steam!

It was the mirage stone, the war spoils from the Mirage Monster.

Once the stone was smashed, it could create white smoke in a small area and form an image of its user.

Apparently, the Forest Monster King had fallen for the rise and hit an illusion.

The severe injury infuriated the Forest Monster King, and it had exerted all its strength with that strike. When it hit the empty air, it couldn’t help but falter a little in its movement.

“It’s over!”

A voice came from behind it!

Pop! Crackle!

Ji Ye moved as fast as a streak of lightning and kicked at the Forest Monster King, making a crackling sound that shook the air. It was none other than Jade Ring Steps, Lovers’ Feet, Wu Song’s master skill.

Not only did the kick contain the hot energy of the Nine Yang Divine Art similar to his earlier strikes, but he had also burned a few drops of Flood Dragon Blood when he kicked out!

Crack!

The sudden burst of energy had three additional factors, so even though the Forest Monster King had used all its strength to turn around and put the red wood shield in front of itself, it still couldn’t withstand the strike. Ji Ye kicked right through the shield and stomped on it!

Boom!

The Forest Monster King’s bones made a crushing sound, and its metal armor, which wasn’t very thick, was dented.

After that, it flew backward involuntarily, and its head smashed into the green bark of a big tree. It was barely breathing.

“Surrender or war?”

In the battlefield, Ji Ye looked up at the vines and at the ordinary Forest Monsters who had been shouting hoorays but were now abruptly silent, as if they had been choked.

“Roar!”

After a brief moment of pause, a tall, green Forest Monster let out a shriek. It jumped down from the vines and struck down at Ji Ye’s head with the four sticks in its hands.

Boom!

However, a black cannon shot into the air from the human side when it was still in mid-air, and it smashed the tall Forest Monster’s head into pieces!

“Roar, roar...”

However, more Forest Monsters started moving as well. Roaring, they jumped off the vines and charged at Ji Ye while wielding their weapons.

“It’s true. It’s very unlikely to tame an alien race.”

Ji Ye wasn’t very surprised by the situation.

In the “Ten-Species Competition” mission, it was said that one had a choice to annihilate the rest of the alien race or make them surrender.

However, it was nearly impossible to make an alien race surrender. After all, no intelligent race wouldn’t sincerely submit themselves to the rule of another race.

What was more, there were also players among the other races, and they didn’t have to worry about real death. Under such circumstances, they would definitely try to fight for it, rather than surrender to the human race!

However, Twin Dragon Mount had expected that as well.

Hum!

Therefore, Ji Ye remained unperturbed when he saw the sudden attack of the Forest Monsters. He took out a bead that was shrouded in mist.

“Roora?”

The next second, all the Forest Monsters who had jumped off the vines and were charging at him looked bewildered.

Because in their eyes, the surroundings had suddenly changed. A black wall as tall as over 10 meters had suddenly shown up.

On the spot where Ji Ye was, a green giant resembling them appeared after the white mist dispersed.

Although the green giant didn’t have four arms, he was several times bigger than them.

When a Forest Monster jumped at the green giant, waving the sticks, the green giant threw an effortless punch at it, and it exploded, turning into a cloud of green blood mist!

“Wula!”

Compared to the Forest Monster King, the ordinary ones were obviously less “intelligent”. Immediately, some of them seemed intimidated and slowed down a little.

“Attack!”

But an ear-splitting uproar could already be heard from behind the green giant.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Men of the Twin Dragon Mount were clad in armor and were charging at them, holding weapons. Arrays of arrows and cannons flew at the Forest Monsters who had landed on the ground.

“That’s a very realistic Hulk. I think even if Master doesn’t work in the Land of Inheritance, he can become a million-dollar special effect artist back on Earth.”

“My advice earlier was nice, wasn’t it? We’ve deliberately annihilated a fake Forest Monster, which has frightened the others. They don’t dare to come forward anymore!”

“Stop talking and fight. The number of alien races is getting lesser and lesser. We won’t come by such a great opportunity to earn Honor and EXP in the future.”

Among the running people, one could finally make out conversations between players from Earth.

“Kill them. Archers, fire in bursts. Those holding spears, stay in the frontline. Don’t get into full-on close combat with them!”

The natives didn’t panic under such circumstances either. Following Lu Zhishen’s instruction, they formed a battle formation and charged at the confused Forest Monsters.

Because they had rehearsed such a situation in the settlement before, they all realized that their master had used his skill to transform the whole scene, as well as summoning a formidable general, the green giant, to join the battle, which only boosted their confidence!

“Wula!”

Seeing the humans charging at them, the Forest Monsters began to panic.

Because not only did the black wall block the way behind them, but it had also blocked the sky, which had left them no way out. They couldn’t help but feel shaken.

One had to admit that such was the disadvantage of intelligent races. Had it been the Soul race who was here, they probably would never have considered the problem. They would just fight. The Forest Monsters, on the other hand, were faced with a dilemma.

While they had lost their calmness, the humans acted decisively. Their attacks started once they had moved into range.

“Pop, pop, pop!”

Qin Yueyu’s arrows were so accurate that they looked like guided missiles. With each arrow, a Forest Monster was hit somewhere on the belly, sending it into convulsion before it fell to the ground.

The Human race had already figured out the Forest Monsters’ weakness in the duel earlier, so they were very efficient with the killing now.

Bang, bang, bang...

Speaking of efficiency, no one could compare with Li Qing, who was holding the Black Serpent gun.

With the aid of the Combat Ability Detector, Li Qing could lock on the Forest Monsters even in the mirage. He could even shoot his target through walls!

In addition, there were also Wu Qiao’s frisbee blades. Chu Yin played a “General’s Command” with her pipa, greatly enhancing the fighting spirit of all humans. Mister Bug, who had finally reached the Extraordinary level, had mingled with the spear squad with talismans stuck to his body...

Thanks to the cover provided by the Mirage Dragon Pearl, the Human race had all the advantages.

Because the illusion this treasure created could not only confuse the enemy, but it could also cover the track of the Human race themselves.

Therefore, when the battle ended, the casualties of humans were less than 1/5 of that of the Forest Monsters.

“Wula!”

When there were less than 30 Forest Monsters left, they finally realized that the black walls that had cut them off were only an illusion. They scrambled up into the trees and fled back to the forest through the vines.

“Stop!”

When some of the clansmen who were frenzied from all the killing tried to rush into the green forest to chase them, Ji Ye stopped them.

“Don’t step into a forest” was a universal warning.

Because of their physical characteristics, these Forest Monsters could climb up the green trees that were over 100 meters high and with smooth tree trunks. The humans’ long-range weapons, on the other hand, couldn’t reach that high, apart from the Frigid Iron Cannon operated by Ling Zhen, the Heaven Shaking Thunder, himself.

Even a sharp weapon like “Bronze Bulldozer Crossbow”, which could cause serious damage to objects 200m away on the ground, couldn’t even reach something 50m in mid-air.

Even if it could reach that height, it wouldn’t have much actual effect. The Forest Monster could probably easily knock it away.

“It’s getting late. We’ll enter tomorrow!”

Apart from that, it was also because it was getting dark, and their sight would be limited at night if they went in. Even Ling Zhen, the only one who was effective here, wouldn’t be able to exert the power of the Frigid Iron Cannon. Therefore, it would be more suitable to wait until tomorrow to deal with the remaining Forest Monsters.

Moreover, the most important thing was that just like Ji Ye said before, the Forest Monster King was stalling. He was also doing that.

Because he fused the Flood Dragon Bloodline of the Legendary level last time, the cooldown for the fusion of talent was relatively long this time.

However, after breaking through to the Extraordinary Rank-5 and shortening the cooldown time again, he would only need to wait until the next morning to fuse the two Mirage Dragon Teeth as offerings!

Theoretically speaking, the Twin Dragon Mount would have its fifth Hero!

No, there was also the Extraordinary Rank-5 Commander level “Soul of Civilization” that belonged to the Forest Monster King, which was gradually taking its shape.

It would be the fifth and the sixth!

“Notify Chief Wu. Tell him to keep a lookout for the Metal Men, in case they try to take advantage of us tonight.

“And also send more people to the Eagle Men side, in case they want to take any action.”
