Chapter 90: Unexpected!

  "Each unit, as previously said, during the hunt, try to keep a distance from other forces, so as not to be secretly attacked by people with ulterior motives. The five small teams, take care of each other's members." Zhao Qing reminded once again.

  Boom! Boom!

  Just as Zhao Qing had just given the order, the ground suddenly transmitted a few dull sounds, and the earth also began to transmit faint tremors, and cracks appeared.

  "Don't panic, keep a safe distance from the source of the crack. Move back quickly." Xiao Hong ordered his team members based on his experience in the book, and he himself retreated rapidly.

  Rumble, rumble.

  Just as Xiao Hong and the others had pushed forward ten or so meters, a gigantic dragon-like creature suddenly appeared on the ground in front of them. It was over ten meters tall, with no eyes or nose, only a mouth full of sharp teeth like a meat grinder, flowing with a pale green liquid, its appearance ferocious.

  "Earth Concealing Dragon!" Xiao Hong almost recognized the creature at a glance, having done extensive research on the Dark Fusion Cave beforehand. He was well aware that the Earth Concealing Dragon was a fifth-grade spirit beast, and in the Dark Fusion Cave, it was undoubtedly one of the top few spirit beasts in terms of combat strength.

  However, what made Xiao Hong feel puzzled was that the Earth Escape Dragon, as a superior creature in the Dark Fusion Cave, would usually gather in the depths of the cave, because only there would be countless large spiritual beasts to satisfy their appetite, and it was almost impossible for them to appear at the entrance.

  But it really happened under our eyes.

  It's okay, it's just one, with so many people, it can still be handled completely.

  Just as Xiao Hong had such an idea, the Hongbo Group, which was closest to Di Dunlong, began to launch a fierce attack on Di Dunlong. In an instant, numerous energy bodies of various shapes and forms rushed towards Di Dunlong in unison.

  Chai Feng, amidst the crowd, also sprang into action, propelling himself with the Wind Pattern he had personally crafted for her. In a flash, he appeared before Di Dong Long's mouth, his arms swinging rapidly as if operating a meat grinder. Instantly, dense, blood-red lines materialized on Di Dong Long's maw, and in the next moment, several deep gashes were slashed across its mouth!

  Then the dragon struggled a few times, like a felled tree, and crashed down.

  The crowd that witnessed this scene couldn't help but size up Chai Feng, although many people helped, she was able to take them down instantly, clearly not an easy feat, especially considering her age of only twenty-one.

  "Wow, I didn't expect this Chai Song to have such abilities?" Yan Nan whispered behind Xiao Hong.

  "Hmph, the treatment Miss receives is indeed not ordinary." Xiao Hong muttered softly, and slightly narrowed his eyes.

  "Xiao Hong, what are you talking about? What big sister?" Li Wen asked.

  "Look at that earth dragon, one meter away from the ground." Xiao Hong slightly stretched out his hand and pointed, only to see a small hole about two fingers thick on the fine scales of the armor above the earth dragon's body, one meter away from the ground, with a gurgling green liquid flowing out from inside.

  "What does this prove again?" Li Wen asked somewhat puzzled.

  "You may not understand the Earth Dragon yet, but I've studied it in detail. The central nervous system is located one meter from the ground, a critical hit would be fatal. However, after years of evolution, the Earth Dragon has developed strong defenses against its weakness, covering its central nervous system with a thick layer of armor. Without at least fourth-level mastery, you can't penetrate it." Xiao Hong analyzed calmly, then pointed to Pi Haifei in the Hongbo team, who was quietly loading a magic pattern into his magic pattern package.

  If it weren't for Xiao Hong's sharp eyes, it would be hard to notice.

  "Could it be that the one who gave the fatal blow to Di Long wasn't Chai Feng, but Pi Hai Fei?" Hong Feng spoke up, and of course he could also analyze that Pi Hai Fei's purpose in doing so was just to make this young lady happy.

  Xiao Hong didn't say anything, just smiled slightly.

  However, for the Hongbo team, there are not many people like Xiao Hong who know so much and are so meticulous. Seeing Chai Shuang give Di Donglong a "fatal" blow, the students of Xijin Magic Academy have already shown expressions of surprise and admiration.

  "It's no wonder she's the beloved daughter of Xizhen Tian." The crowd couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

  As for those who can see the way out, except for Xiao Hong, almost all of them are at the level of commander-in-chief. It is not in line with their character and status to be serious with a little girl.

  Nor did she know whether Chai Feng was pretending to be silly or if she really was careless, standing next to Di Long, she swept a glance at the respectful and admiring eyes around her, looking extremely pleased with herself.

  Although he didn't show a frivolous appearance, his eyes had already revealed a cold and stern color.

  "Remember, this time, with me on our team, we will absolutely be the team that reaps the most rewards. This dragon is just the beginning of our good fortune. Whoever dares to try and take it from us will be asking for death!" Chai Feng said loudly, his tone generous and stirring, undeniable and extremely provocative.

  Some unknown minor forces, although they also made a move just now, who dares to share the spoils of war with Hongbo?

  In fact, this earth escape dragon's brain marrow, skin and blood are all precious materials for magic patterns. If they were to be dissected, at the very least, several hundred gold coins could be earned.

  In the distance, Xiao Hong could naturally notice Chai Shuang's appearance. Although his level was higher than Xiao Hong by a large margin, Xiao Hong could completely see that when it came to actual combat in the wilderness, he really didn't have much experience. If it were an ordinary person, this trip would likely be more disastrous than fortunate, but things were different for him - after all, he had a good grandfather.

  Even if she had less experience, with so many people protecting her, there shouldn't be any major issues.

  "Huh?" Just as Xiao Hong thought of this, he was about to sigh when his originally calm expression suddenly changed. His gaze locked onto a spot on the ground not far away. Although it was extremely subtle, Xiao Hong still noticed that one patch of sand had a slightly deeper color, with a faint reddish tint.

  He took a quick step forward, grabbed a handful of dark brown soil, and put it to his nose for a sniff. A faint smell of blood wafted into Xiao Hong's nostrils. He rubbed the soil between his fingers, and a reddish-brown stain appeared on his fingertips.

  "...This..." With this discovery, Xiao Hong's expression suddenly changed, his eyes revealing endless vigilance and severity: "This is the blood of the Scarlet Gold Beast!"

  Xiao Hong recognized the substance and felt a chill behind his back.

  "Brother Zhao, hurry! Order our team to leave this place, it's not suitable for us to stay here for long!" Xiao Hong quickly said to Zhao Qing, because Xiao Hong was very clear that the blood of the Red Gold Beast had a special property. Although its flavor was light, it could emit a kind of micro-wave that would spread far away, and the one most interested in this micro-wave was none other than the Earth Concealing Dragon.

  Just as pouring fresh blood into seawater will attract sharks.

  "What? What's wrong? You..."

  Before Zhao Qing could finish speaking, a strong shockwave suddenly transmitted from the ground again.

  The next moment, seven or eight earth dragons suddenly burst out of the ground, but this was just the beginning. Just as everyone's instincts kicked in and they were about to counterattack, more than a dozen earth dragons broke through the surface again! Adding them together, there were already twenty or so, scattered among the crowd, separating everyone from each other.

  Like a meat grinder, his mouth kept smashing into the ground.

  When people are divided and lose each other's support, their combat effectiveness will naturally be greatly reduced, and due to being caught off guard, panic is generated.

  It was only a few seconds, and people had already died one after another. However, this was not the worst part yet. Looking far away, there were hundreds of silver-toothed tigers also charging towards them, the situation was extremely critical.

  Xiao Hong stood in the crowd with a stern expression, but without panic, instead appearing extra calm, his mind evaluating the situation before him.

  There's no doubt that the continuous influx of spiritual beasts has already made everyone overwhelmed, and as long as the smell of the Red Gold Beast Blood hasn't dissipated, it's highly likely to attract even more ferocious spiritual beasts!

  It can be said that since the activities of Xia Zuo began, such a thing has never appeared. Originally, this place was their last rest platform, and only after everything was adjusted would they enter the depths of the Dark Fusion Cave step by step.

  However, the sudden appearance of the Earth Dragon and the Silver Toothed Tiger undoubtedly disrupted all their initial plans.

  "Brother Zhao, it's no longer suitable to stay here for long. I suggest that we split into small groups and escape separately!" Xiao Hong quickly conveyed through the communication tattoo, suggesting to Zhao Qing.

  As for Zhao Qing, the entire person's expression had become stern and severe. He was taking charge as commander-in-chief for the first time and hadn't expected to encounter such an unexpected situation. However, he still clearly understood that apart from this, there was almost no other way out. Indulging in delay would only lead to increasing casualties, or even the entire army being wiped out here.

  But dispersing and withdrawing would undoubtedly lose the echo between each small team, and the advantages of various major forces would also be gone. Unbeknownst to him, Zhao Qing had already felt that this situation was definitely man-made, weakening the advantages of the major forces as much as possible, and secretly waiting for the opportunity to reap the benefits.

  "Attention all team leaders, take your members and get as far away from this place as possible, then figure out a way to regroup!" Zhao Qing finally gave the order decisively.

  As soon as Zhao Qing gave the order, the team from Shao Jiang Group abandoned their attack on Di Dun Long and changed direction, trying to escape the range of his attacks.

  Xiao Hong's eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, and soon locked onto the right side, where a continuous range of purple mountains stretched out. He casually pulled at Hong Feng and others, calmly saying: "We'll head in that direction, try to find higher ground, and there are large numbers of herbivorous spirit beasts over there. Even if the Silver Toothed Tiger comes after us, it will be attracted by those herbivorous spirit beasts."
