Chapter 147: Earth Dragon Formation
“Hahahaha! This old Li has widened his knowledge…” Li Yi said, standing inside the village. He had clearly seen the scene of the defeat of Heroic Overlord Under Heaven. Therefore, as soon as he returned to the Council Hall, he began to praise Zhang Jue: “Brother Zhang! What was that?”
Zhang Jue, however, made a wry smile. His complexion was deathly pale. He had completely consumed his energy. Therefore, it was even difficult to maintain the Mist Formation. Moreover, his perception of everything within the Mist Formation was also extremely limited now. He sat cross-legged on the ground and explained the matter.
As it turned out that level 3 Peaceful and Tranquility Skill unlocked a new formation called Earth Dragon Formation. It was an extremely energy-consuming formation. In contrast, the energy consumption of Mist Formation was very low, which could be recovered with a little rest. Therefore, he could maintain Mist Formation for a long time, whereas he absolutely couldn’t maintain Earth Dragon Formation for a long time.
Earth Dragon Formation also needed the use of land energy to use. It could summon a lot of clay people, and those clay people had an extremely high attack and defense. Even the first-rate soldiers were powerless against them. Unless they had a super skill bonus, it was impossible for the soldiers to defeat these clay people.
Naturally, it was extremely easy for the heroes like Yuwen Chengdu to defeat the clay people. However, clay people could respawn continuously. It was absolutely useless to kill clay people.
Even if you kill until the sky collapses, it would just be a futile effort.
If you want to destroy the Earth Dragon Formation, then you must destroy the core of the Earth Dragon Formation. And the core of the Earth Dragon Formation of just now was in a secret cave on the hillside.
It was impossible to find it without knowing its location beforehand.
Therefore, it could be said that as long as Heroic Overlord Under Heaven was near the hillside, he would lose for sure. This was the reason Zhang Jue had told Wu Guang to go here.
However, Wu Guang also knew from Zhang Jue that he had to deal with an expert. Although he knew that this expert was a bit stubborn and idiot, he had to do it.
And that expert was Yuwen Chengdu.
Wu Guang himself didn’t want to scheme against such a man of good faith, but they were enemies now. He had to do it.
Fortunately, that expert was Heroic Overlord Under Heaven’s subordinate, so Wu Guang felt a lot more at ease. However, at this point, Wu Guang still remained silent. He didn’t want to say anything.
A long time passed without anybody knowing…
“Hey! What are you all doing? Want to fight, then fight, want to leave, then leave. Look, it’s almost noon. It’s time for me to have a meal.” Shi Hao looked at the sun, calculated the time and smiled. He thought that this mist should be affecting them soon.
Therefore, Shi Hao had intentionally spoken to test the other side’s situation.
However, the result puzzled Shi Hao.
No one knew why, Lu Bu’s attitude suddenly became somewhat strange. His eyes were hazy as he looked at Shi Hao. It seemed like he saw the most incredible thing in this world. The more he watched, the more fascinated he became. He was completely devoid of his usual mighty aura now. Even Zuo Tiancheng couldn’t bear to continue watching this.
He repeatedly called out in a low voice, but Lu Bu paid no attention to him.
Fortunately, Lu Bu suddenly became serious again, and urged his horse to slowly advance. This frightened Shi Hao!
Upon a careful look, there was another figure beside Shi Hao now. That person was Passionate Archer, and Passionate Archer had already told him about the strength of this big fellow, which was not inferior to Yuwen Chengdu!
If Shi Hao’s guess was not wrong, then that big fellow should not be affected by the illusion. If he charged over, then only Pei Yuanqing could stop him. As for Zuo Tiancheng’s golden blade, it would come straight towards Shi Hao without any obstruction.
At that time, it would be difficult to estimate the outcome. Although Shi Hao had absolute confidence in his defense and Fire Dragon Armor’s HP recovery effect, he didn’t dare to truly put himself in front of Zuo Tiancheng’s killer moves. Zuo Tiancheng’s blade speed was too terrifying. You might not even be able to see his blade and your life was already reaped.
In a haste, Shi Hao was about to make a decision on how to deal with this crisis and resolve the situation.
However, that big fellow suddenly yelled: “Hello! I’m Lu Bu, do you have any command? If you have, feel free to tell me, I will definitely carry it out for you…” After speaking, he jumped off the horse, cupped his hands and bowed respectfully. This ceremony was obviously directed at Shi Hao. There was nothing but sincerity in his eyes, no lies.
Shi Hao was a bit relieved. It seemed that Zhang Jue’s Mist Formation had taken effect. However, Shi Hao was still surprised inwardly. F***! Lu Bu? That fellow Three Wooden Big Tree actually recruited Lu Bu without anybody knowing? What a big joke!
Shi Hao knew that Lu Bu must be an SS grade historical NPC. Not mentioning Yuwen Chengdu, this was the first time he saw that another player had recruited an SS grade historical NPC other than himself. As for Yuwen Chengdu, he had given him to Heroic Overlord Under Heaven for Su Xiao. It was an exceptional case, it wouldn’t count!
It was no wonder that Three Wooden Big tree could control the entire South Flower Region. With Lu Bu, who could speak against him?
Suddenly, Shi Hao raised his eyebrows and said: “General Lu Bu’s mighty name, who doesn’t know? Among men, Lu Bu, among seeds, the Red Hare. I wonder if the general can show your amazing skills for me, and expel these people who disturbed my peace?”
Shi Hao naturally wanted to use Lu Bu to force back Zuo Tiancheng’s troops. If he could make Lu Bu do it, there was no need to do it by himself.
Upon hearing his words, Lu Bu said nothing. He directly rushed towards Zuo Tiancheng. He jumped onto his horse and instantly arrived in front of Zuo Tiancheng. He had no intention to speak more.
Zuo Tiancheng couldn’t believe this. He was not affected by the illusion. Generally, people with calm minds had better immunity to illusions. It would take longer for them to be affected by the illusions. Zuo Tiancheng was such an extremely calm person.
Zuo Tiancheng didn’t know what was going on Lu Bu’s mind and yelled: “General Lu Bu, are you out of your mind? Don’t you want your money?” At this point, Zuo Tiancheng could only use Lu Bu’s favorite money to make Lu Bu come back to his senses and see the real enemy before him.
Unfortunately, Lu Bu seemed to suddenly dislike money. This might be the interference of illusion, but Lu Bu seemed to have lost his mind and refused to take a step back.
Zuo Tiancheng knew that he was definitely not Lu Bu’s opponent like he was not the opponent of Yuwen Chengdu. He also just relied on his awakened ability to barely cope with Pei Yuanqing’s critical hits. Otherwise, he was also definitely not Pei Yuanqing’s opponent.
In fact, even after awakening, if Zuo Tiancheng had to truly fight against Pei Yuanqing, then he would lose in the end. In addition to how Zuo Tiancheng could not deal any damage to Pei Yuanqing, there were two more reasons.
First, although Zuo Tiancheng could dodge critical hits better, he wouldn’t be able to always dodge successfully. Over time, he would fail to dodge. And once he failed, one critical hit was enough to kill Zuo Tiancheng. After all, with the bonuses of Shi Hao’s skills, Pei Yuanqing’s critical hit would deal the damage of over 140 points, and Zuo Tiancheng’s HP along with defense was just 118 points.
Secondly, Zuo Tiancheng’s skill was an active type. It consumed MP. Whereas, Pei Yuanqing’s skill was passive. It didn’t consume MP. As long as the time drags on, Zuo Tiancheng would not be able to use his skill, and without the skill, he would be completely powerless.
Lu Bu finally yelled: “Zuo Tiancheng, will you retreat or not?” Lu Bu’s halberd was already preapred to attack. If Zuo Tiancheng said nothing now, then he might not be able to leave this place alive…
