God-level Hero

Chapter 1298 - 1207: Waging War to Sustain War

In the sealed chamber where the Blood Eagle was, Chacham climbed out from the ground, ravenously devouring the corpses of the fallen Demon species. With each corpse he devoured, his attribute values would recover and improve. One has to admit, devouring is indeed the Divine Skill that allows the Demon Race to stand at the pinnacle of power.

While Chacham was eating, he kept sending telepathic messages to Da Fei, "Master, we Magic Beetles aren’t strictly Demons. We are merely ordinary creatures from the Demon World. A high-level Demon God noticed our self-destruct capability and granted us partial individual intelligence, making us their slaves. More precisely, slaves of slaves. In many large battles, our Demon Worm species are used as cannon fodder at the forefront..."

"At the center of this underground pit is the Heart of the Insect Nest, which is the core of the entire pit and the Divine Artifact of the Demon Worm species. Its existence greatly accelerates the speed and number of larval hatching, but it consumes large amounts of wood resources. Once I recover my strength, I can break out of this cage and burrow straight to the Heart of the Insect Nest. It’s time to end all this lowliness..."

So that’s how it is! After listening to him say so much, Da Fei has a general understanding of the Magic Beetle species. They first absorb the sap of trees and then consume the dead trees as wood resources. Their utilization of trees is quite high. In two words: pests!

Judging by the initial situation at the Pool of Radiance and the Vine Demon Village from the China Region, there should be a Magic Beetle species hidden around the World Tree as well, which cannot be ignored. Da Fei is more interested in this Heart of the Insect Nest, labeled as a Divine Artifact, which might be the final Boss?

While Da Fei was deep in thought, Chacham’s voice turned grave, "Master, the pursuers have come again, and this time they’re even stronger. I will continue to support you from underground." With that, Chacham dove back into the pool’s subterranean area.

This made Da Fei laugh uncontrollably. Good! My Blood Eagle has been itching with anticipation! What’s more satisfying than eliminating an enemy heroic group is wiping out an even larger one.

The chamber doors opened once more, and this time, it was led by two heroes, assembled with Hellhounds, Banshees, Hell Horses, and hundreds of Abyss Demons from levels three, four, five, and six!

At this moment, Da Fei was exhilarated! Da Fei didn’t fear the enemy’s numerous heroes and troops, but rather worried if the enemy had too few troops! Da Fei’s confidence was not just the two Great Scorched Earth Scrolls, but also the partially restored power of Chacham!

Once the enemy troops entered the chamber, the doors closed again!

——System Prompt: Your follower hero Chacham requests to use "Earthquake Skill." Please click "Confirm" to use it!

Is there even a need to ask! Strike midway as they enter the door and strike them with a big move before they can form up! Confirm!

Boom!!! Another loud rumble shook the ground, scattering dust all around, and the enemy troops across the field jumped simultaneously in place! The Blood Eagle immediately emerged from the void. Use the Great Scorched Earth Scroll! Activate Enhanced Petrification Aura.

A flash of red light! The ground of the hall was instantly covered by a massive fire-red array, and those still dizzy from the earthquake began losing health with "-5" "-5" appearing above their heads!

Not bad! With this power, those Hellhound Banshees can’t last more than three to five seconds! And Da Fei didn’t plan on letting the enemy last three to five seconds.

As the flames continued to burn, the Blood Eagle repeated its old trick, diving down toward a hero who seemed to be a Mage with rapid bites activated. A long line of damage numbers such as "Dive Damage -295!" "-127!" "-125!" "-124!" ensued.

Da Fei’s heart skipped a beat. This damage showed that the dual hero group was indeed a notch stronger than the last wave! Can it be defeated instantly?

Just then, the enemy troops across the field started losing health with "-6" "-6" appearing above their heads—the power of the Great Scorched Earth Technique gradually increases over time. Seeing the enemy recover from their brief earthquake daze, Da Fei suddenly realized something was wrong. He hadn’t yet eliminated this Magic Hero in front of him!

If it’s not taken out, it means its Healing Skill will cover the whole army?

Da Fei gritted his teeth and with a slight shake of his hand, hurled out the second Great Scorched Earth Scroll, while the Blood Eagle swiftly rose high and flew away for safety! With the attack power of NPC Demon Heroes, Da Fei dared not imagine the consequences of taking a hit from them.

At this moment, the entire field was ablaze with black light flashing. This was the Demon Hero, fully recovered, releasing Dark Healing Skill to the whole army, while the Blood Eagle, caught in the crossfire of the near-depleted Banshee army, fled for its life!

What was expected to be a close-the-door and slam-the-dog knockout battle ended up in this state, causing Da Fei’s inner world to crumble! Even if this battle can be endured, tackling a stronger third wave might not be feasible with just one Blood Eagle. So the main body on the airship must take action.

Just as Da Fei’s mind was racing, the ground suddenly shook, and a row of massive Earth Spikes erupted from the ground, turning the Mage Hero who was healing the entire army into white light!

Finally, it was taken down instantly! At crucial moments, Chacham comes to the rescue.

Now the enemy lost the hero’s powerful healing, and under the rapidly increasing flame damage of "-7" "-8" jumping crazily across the field, the Banshee army that posed a threat to the Blood Eagle didn’t last two seconds before being burned to death. As for the remaining enemies, wearing them down is just a matter of time.

And this time did not keep Da Fei waiting long, the ground shook again, and another row of Earth Spikes burst forth, the remaining hero also dissolved into light!

Damn! Another instant finish!

At this moment, Da Fei felt deeply the terror of a hero that can move underground! Even in a weakened state, such combat power! If it fully recovered, Da Fei dared not imagine. This really is a treasure found, no matter what, there must be a way to keep this Beetle Hero!

In the flames, the battle concluded without suspense:

——System Prompt: Battle ended! Your Reconnaissance Blood Eagle Xiao Fei, in the case of an Independent Expedition, defeated the army of enemy hero Rao. The Blood Eagle has gained growth, and the effect of Shared Hero Glory skill improved. The Blood Eagle has obtained the spoils of war: "Great Scorched Earth Scroll" ×4.

——Shared Hero Glory: When the Blood Eagle is on an Independent Expedition, it still obtains 21% of your Hero Attributes Skill’s bonuses.

...

Da Fei suddenly rejoiced, seeing that through these two great battles, the Blood Eagle indeed grew, with the bonus percentage increasing from 20% to 21%! This implies that as long as the Blood Eagle continues to fight independently, the Blood Eagle will infinitely approach to being like me!

Seeing the spoils of four scrolls, Da Fei was even happier! Is this a battlefield specifically for obtaining scrolls? Honestly, these scrolls are rather slow and can only be used in these close-the-door-and-slam-the-dog scenarios. On an open battlefield, the enemy would have scattered long ago, making them not particularly premium or practical spells.

However, what if four are used together? Even if the enemy launches a stronger third wave, it shouldn’t be a problem! This is still a structure to foster war with war and to keep a snowball rolling! Da Fei laughed!

At this moment, Da Fei’s friend notification sounded, it was Moon God Night, "Japanese players have arrived, do you have any plans?"

Only then did Da Fei snap back to reality and realized that on the airship’s radar, there were hundreds of player red dots approaching the Insect Nest Giant Pit. Needless to say, it must be to assist the NPC in besieging me.

Da Fei’s heart sank, "Isn’t it obvious? Go kill them fiercely! By the way, if the opponents are players, can you use your airship as you please?"

Moon God Night laughed, "Of course!" (To be continued. If you enjoyed this work, please visit Qidian.com to vote with recommendation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
