The Hidden Dragon Legion advanced at top speed. Since they were all wind-element cultivators, they moved very fast. The day's journey kept them far from their original hunting area.
The ranking competition standard is determined by the number of Blood Demon Blue Crystals, with no rule that it must be held in the hunting area, so their approach is not considered a violation.
The only thing Tang Wan'er and the others worried about now was that since the hunt had started over there, the monsters here would be drawn in, which might lead to fewer monsters here, forcing them to venture deeper into the battlefield to hunt more monsters.
"This is troublesome. The more you fear something, the more you come. Along the way, we didn't see a single monster. They must have been drawn to that battlefield." When they arrived at the designated spot, Tang Wan'er and the others' expressions changed.
At this moment, Long Chen said nothing. In fact, everything was within his expectations, but since it was everyone's decision, he could only follow along.
Through this incident, Long Chen realized that on the road to growth, some pitfalls must be stepped on, and some losses must be endured; otherwise, one simply cannot grow.
Although Tang Wan'er had followed Long Chen all the way from the mortal realm into battle, she had only seen many pitfalls but never stepped into them herself. However, by the time she became the leader, she had already forgotten those pitfalls.
"There's no other way. We either teleport farther away or risk going deeper. If we move farther away, we'll have to waste another day, and we'll only encounter low-level monsters. That way, we're in real danger and very likely to be eliminated."
If we venture deep into the battlefield, we might attract terrifying Emperor-level monsters. If there are too many Emperor-level monsters and we can't hold out, we'll have to crush the nameplate and teleport back. "A divine attendant said.
For a moment, everyone turned to look at Tang Wan'er, but Tang Wan'er secretly glanced at Long Chen, while Long Chen looked into the distance. He couldn't get involved in this matter. Regardless of right or wrong, Tang Wan'er had to make her own decisions. Otherwise, how could she lead the Hidden Dragon Legion in the future?
Actually, right or wrong at this moment doesn't matter. What matters is that as a decision-maker, you can't always hesitate or worry about gains and losses. The more you fear failure, the more likely you are to fail.
Only by constantly making mistakes and failures, learning from experience, and constantly correcting oneself, can one gradually walk the path of becoming strong. Mistakes are not scary; what is frightening is lacking the courage to act.
Tang Wan'er gritted her teeth and said, "Let's take a risk and go deeper. Hunting high-level monsters will give us a better chance of success. If we can't hold out, we'll crush the nameplate and teleport back to Fengshen Sea Pavilion. Then, let Master settle accounts with those old guys." All
of this was because these old guys cheated. If they really failed, they would have the means to turn things around, since this was not a fair match at all.
After Tang Wan'er gave the order, the Hidden Dragon Legion had no objections and immediately followed the plan to advance deep into the battlefield.
"Long Chen, I was wrong. I'm sorry, please don't ignore me, okay?" Tang Wan'er walked side by side with Long Chen, secretly sending a message to him. Her pretty face showed a pleading expression, but Long Chen's onlookance left her at a loss and a little afraid.
Because ever since she met Long Chen, he had always doted on her, always yielding to her in every situation. She had never been so cold as she was today, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Silly girl, how could I be ignoring you? Just because I don't speak doesn't mean I don't support you, and it doesn't mean I'm angry.
If you were alone, I could shoulder all your burdens, but now it's different. As the leader of the Hidden Dragon Legion, you must shoulder your own responsibilities.
Since you love every sister, you need to grow together with them. Just like me and the Dragonblood Legion, we grew from a ragtag group into the number one legion of the Tianwu Continent. You saw the whole process.
Growth comes at a price. Once you choose, you must be unwavering and complete it without regret. Confidence is never something you learn, but something you cultivate after countless hardships.
Wan'er, don't be afraid, and don't panic. No matter right or wrong, I will always stand by your side. Long Chen held Tang Wan'er's hand and smiled affectionately.
Hearing Long Chen's voice transmission, Tang Wan'er knew he wasn't truly angry. His last words showed his support for her and filled with endless affection. Tang Wan'er was deeply moved. With Long Chen's words, she felt she was afraid of nothing.
"Roar!"
The crowd rushed forward, their low growls rang out, and their spirits soared. Soon, a Blood Demon Tribe appeared ahead.
It was also the first time Long Chen saw the true form of the Evil Wind Blood Demon. It was a group of monsters similar in size to humans, but exceptionally strong, with wings but no feathers—just a pair of fleshy wings, their bodies covered in blood-red patterns.
They had blue faces and fangs, somewhat resembling bat skulls. At the center of their foreheads was a protruding bone, on which grew a crystal the size of a baby's fist.
The crystal was as blue as the ocean, mesmerizing to look attractant, yet contained violent energy fluctuations.
Only Heavenly Saint-level Evil Wind Blood Demons have a chance to produce Blood Demon Blue Crystals. The deeper the color of a Blood Demon Blue Crystal, the higher its quality, and also symbolizes the demon's immense strength and pure bloodline.
Upon seeing the deep blue magic crystals of the Evil Wind Blood Demon, the Hidden Dragon warriors immediately entered combat mode. Tang Wan'er led the charge, charging straight ahead.
At this moment, encouraged by Long Chen, Tang Wan'er's confidence soared. She led the Hidden Dragon Legion in a fierce assault. They didn't have much time; they had to kill all the tribe's strongest members before they could alert the terrifying presence deep within.
Only in this way could they secure victory. Tang Wan'er believed that other teams would never dare to take on a small tribe one-on-one like they did.
Although those divine sons and goddesses were powerful, their forces were definitely not as formidable as the Hidden Dragon Legion. They couldn't take down an entire tribe and could only kill some scattered soldiers.
This tribe was only a small to medium-sized tribe on the Evil Wind Battlefield, slightly stronger than the Bone Demon tribe they had encountered before, but its strength was still very limited.
With their previous combat experience, this time they were even more adept at killing, and their formation was much more complete than last time.
"Puff puff puff... Tang
Wan'er led the Hidden Dragon Legion all the way forward, heading straight for the tribe's core. Soon, swarms of imperial-level monsters appeared ahead. The magic crystals on their foreheads were no longer blue, but purple.
The purple crystal of a first-line emperor is relatively light, while the color of a dual-vein emperor is deeper. The stronger the blood demon, the deeper the purple crystal becomes.
"Boom boom boom... These
Evil Wind Blood Demons spread their wings wide, riding the wind, moving as fast as lightning, their claws like blades tearing through the void. From their mouths, wind blades were spat out from time to time, their violent power chilling to the bone.
These Evil Wind Blood Demons were even stronger than those bone demons, but as fellow wind powerhouses, the Hidden Dragon Legion was not afraid of them. They were more comfortable killing than killing bone demons.
"Hmm?"
Long Chen followed the crowd forward, suddenly feeling a jolt in his heart. He looked into the distance in disbelief:
"This is ...."
