Chapter 259 Chen Ying in a sorry state
Chen Ying was no match for the White Sand Demon Soldiers chasing her. She was caught up in less than a minute. Seeing that she couldn't escape, Chen Ying had no choice but to stop constructing the Earth-type Star Chart. After the Earth-type Star Chart under Chen Ying's feet was completed, the white sand condensed into a huge rock barrier that enveloped Chen Ying. The sand-transformed longswords of the White Sand Demon Soldiers struck the rock barrier, sending up countless rock fragments.
"Rock Barrier, Mountain Screen!!"
Chen Ying's earth element was also blessed by a spirit seed, but in the face of the frenzied attacks of more than a dozen white sand demon soldiers, the mountain screen that Chen Ying had built was shattered into pieces in just a short while under the combined attack of the white sand demon soldiers.
As the white sand demon soldiers broke through the rock barrier and swung their sand blades at Chen Ying, a brown shield appeared in Chen Ying's hand to block them.
After the brown shield was activated by magical energy, a brown energy barrier formed around Chen Ying. Through the energy barrier, Chen Ying could see that there were at least thirty or forty white sand demon soldiers attacking him. These white sand demon soldiers might not be strong in individual combat, but they knew how to cooperate. Most importantly, they seemed to know the combined attack techniques of ancient battle formations.
After the dozen or so White Sand Demon Soldiers in front were killed, they sluggishly retreated to the back, allowing the next batch of White Sand Demon Soldiers behind them, who had been charging up for a long time, to rush up and finish them off. After a few rounds, Chen Ying, with her brown shield on her head, had a slight trickle of blood seeping from the corner of her mouth.
"Help! I can't hold on much longer!" Chen Ying finally managed to say through the communication headset when she could no longer hold on.
Upon receiving Chen Ying's distress call, Xin Xia, riding on the back of the Swift Star Wolf, was about to unleash a mind-based spell to save Chen Ying. However, Ling Ling stopped her at the last moment. After removing the communication earpieces from her and Xin Xia, Ling Ling advised, "Sister Xin Xia, don't do that. The White Sand Demon Soldiers who are besieging Chen Ying have all been imbued with murderous intent, and they will be extremely difficult to appease. If you were to intervene, it would definitely deplete your remaining magic energy, making our journey ahead very difficult. Let's leave it to Jiang Han."
As she finished speaking, Lingling pointed at Jiang Han, who was suspended in mid-air. Xin Xia looked at Jiang Han in the sky and bit her pink lips. She was a little worried if Jiang Han were to take action.
The reason Lingling didn't let Xinxia help Chenying was because she always felt that something was wrong with Chenying, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. That's why she told Xinxia not to waste her magic energy on Chenying. As for Jiang Han, she didn't need to worry about him at all.
When Chen Ying could no longer hold on, Jiang Han, who was suspended in mid-air, finally made his move. Violent lightning surged around him, dark clouds gathered above Chen Ying's head, and gray-purple lightning occasionally surged. When the star map appeared under Jiang Han's feet...
"Thunderbolt Dance!!"
Jiang Han raised his hand and pointed at the white sand demon soldiers who were besieging Chen Ying. In an instant, a gray-purple lightning bolt as thick as a water bucket broke through the dark clouds and struck the white sand demon soldiers below. The white sand demon soldiers, who were originally swinging their swords to slash at Chen Ying's defensive magic tools, turned to run away when they sensed the danger, but it was too late. Before they could take a few steps, the terrifying gray-purple lightning bolt struck down.
The falling gray-purple lightning directly wiped out many of the white sand demon soldiers. After the lightning subsided, blue-purple flames ignited on Jiang Han's body, followed by a series of blue-purple fireballs being fired from Jiang Han's hands.
"Dragon Flame, Blazing Fire, Explosion!!"
Several balls of flame exploded among the White Sand Demon soldiers, and scorching fireballs burst open. Powerful blue-purple flames engulfed the nearby White Sand Demon soldiers at the center of the explosion. The White Sand Demon soldiers closest to the explosion perished on the spot, while those farther away were also severely injured by the scorching heat. Before the surviving White Sand Demon soldiers could even feel excited for a few minutes, they were engulfed by the fire waves caused by explosions in other places.
After Jiang Han dealt with the White Sand Demon Soldiers who were besieging Chen Ying, Chen Ying thanked Jiang Han through her communication headset.
Jiang Han gave a perfunctory reply and then ignored him, turning his attention to Zhang Xiaohou. Zhang Xiaohou's situation was relatively optimistic; the number of White Sand Demon Soldiers besieging him was far less than that of Zhao Manyan and Chen Ying.
Like Zhao Manyan, Zhang Xiaohou didn't possess many destructive spells. It must be said that Zhang Xiaohou was quite clever. He used the mobility of wind magic to lead the white sand demon soldiers he had attracted to wander around the Sand River. In addition, he was quite proficient in using earth magic, specifically the Earth Wave Technique.
The White Sand Demon Soldiers were not fast to begin with. Wearing heavy sand armor and carrying heavy sand blades, it took them a full two seconds to catch up with the agile Zhang Xiaohou and roar wildly.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
What angered the White Sand Demon Soldiers the most was that every time they thought they had caught up with Zhang Xiaohou and swung their huge sand blades at him, they only managed to hit the chaotic air currents left behind by Zhang Xiaohou after he dodged. Among the three basic magic skills, Zhang Xiaohou had two of them, which made it impossible for the White Sand Demon Soldiers to catch up.
And so Zhang Xiaohou rode the two blue hurricanes at breakneck speed across the Sand River, occasionally turning back to check if the white sand demon soldiers chasing behind were keeping up. Just when Zhang Xiaohou was about to feel that his skills were superb, his joy turned to sorrow.
Suddenly, countless grains of sand rose from the white mud not far in front of Zhang Xiaohou, and then dozens of white sand demon soldiers rose up from the white mud. The white sand demon soldiers also formed a sand wall of nearly twenty meters with their thick bodies.
Most importantly, the leader of the White Sand Demon Soldiers, wielding a four-meter-long sand-transformed broadsword, beckoned to Zhang Xiaohou with his finger, signaling him to come over if he dared. Judging from his aura alone, it was clear that this was a White Sand Demon Soldiers at the War General level who had reached the advanced stage.
If he really charged in, Zhang Xiaohou wasn't very confident. He might not have much trouble outmaneuvering a White Sand Demon Soldier at the Warrior General level, but a White Sand Demon Soldier that had reached the Advanced Stage would have greatly improved in both strength and speed, and Zhang Xiaohou had no chance of escaping from him.
"Damn, an advanced-stage White Sand Demon Soldier, do I really need to attract so much aggro?" Zhang Xiaohou couldn't help but complain.
While Zhang Xiaohou was complaining, the advanced-stage White Sand Demon Soldier seemed to realize something and commanded the White Sand Demon Soldiers around him to charge forward, wielding their sand-transformed longswords. The White Sand Demon Soldiers chasing behind Zhang Xiaohou also caught up.
Both sides simultaneously wielded their sand-transformed longswords, and Zhang Xiaohou had no time to control the wind track and change course.
Zhang Xiaohou had to stop drawing the star map. After the brown star map was completed, a huge rock barrier appeared on both sides of him.
"Rock Barrier, Mountain Screen!!"
