107: A worthless newcomer? Now please call us an epic genius!
"What the hell! Is the Mountain and Sea Pavilion Guild a wholesaler of Epic-grade equipment? How can their trash newbies all be decked out in Epic-grade gear? Even I, a dignified seven-star guild leader, don't have that many pieces of Epic-grade equipment!"
"I admit I'm envious, jealous, and hateful—my eyes are red with envy! The Chilin Guild must win! If they do, I'll be satisfied just getting a few pieces of Epic-grade equipment for myself!"
"Speaking of which, those few aren't really trash newbies anymore, are they? With their current stats, they've surpassed S-grade Grandmaster Geniuses, and they've all contracted an Epic-grade beast. They should already be ranked among the Epic-grade Geniuses, right?"
Upon hearing this, the big shots put away their contempt for Lin Dalei and the others. It was true; based on the stats and strength they were displaying, they could no longer be considered trash, but rather Geniuses!
Especially the two newbies, Lin Dalei and Xiao Erhuo; their control over combat timing was extremely precise, more so than many of the older generation.
The newcomer girl, Zhang Younan, was a bit lacking, but her beasts were all Water-attribute; in this ancient city map, it was indeed difficult for her to unleash her full strength.
The Epic-grade beast contracted by Lin Dalei was the Savage Stone Tyrant Ape, a strength-type combat beast. Despite its massive size, it was very agile, moving through the ruins as if on flat ground, and its own defense was also astonishing.
As for Lin Dalei himself, he had undergone Fusion with his life-bound beast, the Azure Scale Ox, which drastically increased his defense. Combining the two, he could hold his own for a while against a crowd of Tier 6 powerhouses from the Chilin Guild.
"Dahong, watch the left!"
The Epic-grade beast contracted by Xiao Erhuo was the [Red Flame Sparrow], which could fly. It was a Fire-attribute attack beast, compensating for Xiao Erhuo's lack of firepower and his weakness in aerial combat.
Having undergone Fusion with the [Cloud-Swallowing Snake], Xiao Erhuo's body became exceptionally flexible, and his five senses were greatly enhanced, allowing him to evade some physical attacks and even swallow some unavoidable damage.
However, the two of them were facing experts from the Chilin Guild; they were fine in short-term combat, but if it dragged on, they would inevitably be defeated.
"Ah! I can't hold on anymore, Brother Xiao, Brother Lin, I'm going first!"
Nannan's Epic-grade beast was the [Jade-Eyed Water-Crystal Beast], which resembled a lion but was covered in fish scales. It was a Water-attribute beast, and since it was difficult to unleash its full strength on land, it was naturally defeated quickly.
The three of them had teamed up, intending to kill a few of the enemy's Tier 6 powerhouses together, but they had overestimated their own strength.
"This won't work, Brother Erhuo. It looks like we need to change our battle plan. If we keep fighting hard like this, let alone killing a Tier 6 powerhouse on their side, we won't even be able to heavily injure one!"
Lin Dalei only looked like a big oaf, but he wasn't stupid at all; on the contrary, he could precisely grasp the timing during battle and had tanked a lot of damage.
"I have a plan. Later, we'll both respawn next to that Tier 6 powerhouse with weaker defense. I'll be responsible for blocking the others' attacks, and you'll be responsible for attacking him. If once isn't enough, we'll do it twice, until we kill him, and then we'll retreat to regroup!"
Xiao Erhuo rode the Red Flame Sparrow and flew back to Lin Dalei's side.
"That works! What about Nannan?"
"Nannan's impact on this battlefield is limited. Once the battle here ends, let her find a place with a lake to operate on her own!"
"Alright!"
Immediately, the two of them canceled their defenses and were directly blasted away by the Beast Skills of the Chilin Guild's powerhouses.
"Huh? They're giving up resistance just like that?"
This group of powerhouses didn't know about the Mountain and Sea Pavilion Guild's respawn ability, so they were all confused.
"Since these three newbies from the Mountain and Sea Pavilion Guild have been executed, let's go find our next target!"
The lead powerhouse said indifferently.
When they let their guard down and deactivated their beast Fusion, Lin Dalei and Xiao Erhuo simultaneously appeared beside the Tier 6 powerhouse with average defense.
"Not good! They aren't dead!"
The Tier 6 powerhouse with a goatee was shocked, and his life-bound beast quickly came to save its master.
The other powerhouses also immediately moved to help.
But their attacks were all blocked by Lin Dalei.
Lin Dalei, who was chugging Advanced health recovery potions, forcibly blocked their attacks, buying time for Xiao Erhuo.
"You scum! Die!"
[Life-Bound Beast Skill — Snake Split]!
Xiao Erhuo went all out, splitting into a large number of Cloud-Swallowing Snakes to bite the opponent, while the Red Flame Sparrow spat out its strongest life-bound fire Beast Skill, [Red Flame Explosion Vortex], delivering a fatal blow to the opponent.
But it was still lacking a bit of damage.
Just then.
A rotating water arrow accurately struck the Tier 6 powerhouse in the heart, killing him instantly!
[Jade-Eyed Water-Crystal Beast Life-Bound Beast Skill — Water Arrow Spiral Kill]!
"Nannan!"
Lin Dalei and Xiao Erhuo looked at Zhang Younan not far away, revealing surprised smiles.
"Hee hee hee, don't think that just because I'm not in a water area, I'm useless. My beast can also provide ranged damage support!"
Nannan patted her chest with some pride, though there didn't seem to be much substance there.
The plan succeeded!
The three of them also temporarily retreated to regroup!
Seeing that the opponents had once again mysteriously vanished without a trace, nowhere to be found, the Chilin Guild squad collectively went crazy!
They had so many people, with even the weakest being a Tier 6 powerhouse, yet they were toyed with by three noobs from the Mountain and Sea Pavilion Guild, had one of their own killed, and then let them escape.
I bet the big shots watching the projection livestream outside are laughing their heads off, right?
"Disgraceful!"
"Roar! Find them, catch them first, and trample them ruthlessly! Otherwise, we won't be able to answer to the Guild Leader!"
At this moment, the big shots watching the projection livestream were not laughing their heads off, because if it were them, and they didn't know that the entire Mountain and Sea Pavilion Guild had a respawn effect, they would have also fallen for it!
"It's been several hours, what kind of respawn item can last for such a long time?"
"Yeah! Such a Heaven-Defying, bug-level item should logically not exceed 30 seconds at most, right!"
"Something's not right! It's getting more and more suspicious! Do you think that the Mountain and Sea Pavilion Guild doesn't just have one of these respawn items, but many?"
"..."
On the other side.
Qin Yun utilized Serena's special effect to absorb the attacks of several Chilin Guild squads, and Serena successfully hunted down quite a few of their Tier 6 and Tier 7 powerhouses.
But so far, not a single Tier 8 powerhouse had been hunted down; these old geezers were all as cunning as ghosts and just wouldn't give him a chance.
Afterward.
Qin Yun repeated his old trick.
He wanted to find the next squad, but after searching for a good while, he didn't encounter any more Chilin Guild squads.
"Xiaoyun, it looks like they're afraid. They probably know you're in this direction, so they've all avoided it and went to deal with others."
"That's possible! Aunt Serena! Let's go! We'll change our battle strategy and go find our guild members; they must all be in the middle of a fierce battle with the Chilin Guild's powerhouses!"
"That's a good idea!"
Meanwhile.
Several Tier 8 Elders from the Chilin Guild also arrived in the high sky; they didn't dare to get too close for fear of being caught in the crossfire of the two Tier 9 legendary big shots, so they could only shout loudly:
"Lord Guild Leader, we have important matters to report; the battle situation has changed!"
