188: The war begins, the trolls attack!

“Oh, oh, oh!!!”

Seeing this blue-quality weapon card, Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan instantly became excited.

Not because this blue-quality weapon card was so rare.

But because it was the first time they had looted such a good spoil of war!

Ao Zhu, who was also looting, paused when he saw Jiang Yuan and the other's excitement.

Humans, when did they become so pathetic?

A blue-quality equipment card could make them so excited?

Ao Zhu looked at the talent card he had just looted from his hand, unsure what to say.

Talent cards are unique cards to each race, representing the talents of various races.

For example, the Giant Race's talent is Gigantification, so their talent card is [Giant].

This kind of talent card can be used as a Skill Card.

After using it, not only does one's body enlarge for a period, but after the enlargement ends, one can clearly feel their physical attributes increase by one level.

There's also a similar one, the Giant Demon Clan's talent card.

The Giant Demon Clan's talent card is called [Giant Strength], and it can also be used as a Skill Card.

After using it, strength increases, and after the card's effect ends, one will feel an increase in strength.

“Any other gains?”

The surrounding battlefield was chaotic, but this didn't affect Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan's excitement.

It had been a long time, or rather, they had never obtained such a significant spoil of war.

It was truly exhilarating.

“There's also a Giant Race's talent card.”

“Talent Card!”

Seeing the blue-quality card in Ao Zhu's hand, both Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan were astonished.

Talent cards are extremely difficult to loot.

Just like how they had killed so many Undead in the Undead Grotto-Heaven, yet not a single talent card dropped.

Although there might be an element of their luck involved, the drop rate for talent cards is indeed very low.

But unexpectedly, he had just started looting and already got a very rare talent card.

“Not bad!”

Jiang Yuan excitedly patted Ao Zhu's shoulder: “From now on, the job of looting will be yours. We'll protect you at other times, so you don't have to worry at all.”

Jiang Yuan was indeed very excited. He had always wanted to find a lucky charm for his team, specifically for looting.

Although just one instance doesn't prove much, it's certain that Ao Zhu's luck is much better than theirs.

Plus, Ao Zhu isn't just a simple looting expert; he also has support effects.

Just that accelerated dragon breath is a great support ability for Nezha.

The faster the initial speed, the higher the speed increase from accelerated dragon breath.

This is excellent for both Nezha and his Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast.

Because Nezha, or rather, the Wind Fire Wheels and the Unicorn Dark Smoke Beast.

Both of their initial speeds are extremely fast.

Although there were still some reservations about Ao Zhu in his heart, a temporary addition to his team was acceptable.

It was just a matter of being vigilant during battle.

“Bang!”

Just as the two were talking, an axe was thrown towards Jiang Yuan and his group.

“Enemies!”

After Nezha's Fire Tipped Spear knocked away the thrown axe, he warned Jiang Yuan and his group.

Jiang Yuan looked curiously in the direction the axe came from.

They had just taken down a Giant Race member; which race was so foolish as to provoke them now?

One should know that the humans over there had also finished their battle, and now they were about to converge.

Once they converged, they would be one of the strongest forces on this battlefield.

“The Giant Demon Clan?”

Looking up, he met a pair of hateful eyes.

Toba waved the staff in his hand, and a firestorm instantly swept towards Jiang Yuan and his group.

“Fire?”

Ao Zhu laughed when he saw this scene.

Fire, I love fire the most.

Ao Zhu extended a hand, and a blue-quality Skill Card appeared in his grasp.

The next second, a turquoise-blue little dragon, like a plesiosaur, appeared in the air.

The plesiosaur was entirely turquoise-blue, with a single horn on its head that shone like a gem.

Its slender tail swayed, and after smiling at Jiang Yuan and his group, it unleashed its ability.

A large amount of turquoise-blue seawater appeared before it.

The next second, the turquoise-blue seawater was divided into individual masses by it.

As each mass of turquoise-blue seawater, under its command, rushed towards Jiang Yuan, Mu Qianshan, and the others, they naturally gained a layer of turquoise-blue armor.

“Sea Spirit Armor, a water-attribute armor with very high resistance to fire damage.”

Ao Zhu smiled: “Plus the Holy Fire Ward I just cast on you, fire-attribute attacks of the same level will basically do no damage to you.”

Ao Zhu said, waving his hand, and the turquoise-blue little dragon also released Sea Spirit Armor this time, covering all of Shi Ji's Undead slaves with a layer of armor.

“And most importantly, Sea Spirit Armor can stack with your existing defensive equipment.”

Ao Zhu's expression, like he was saying, “Look how awesome I am, let me put my hands on my hips,” made Jiang Yuan and the others unable to help but laugh.

“Good, good, very good.”

Jiang Yuan nodded, looking at the armor on his body.

He didn't place all his trust in others.

Before the firestorm came, he still used the Linglong Pagoda to shield himself.

Fortunately, the firestorm greatly reduced their visibility, so Ao Zhu didn't notice Jiang Yuan and Mu Qianshan's little actions.

The firestorm passed, and the Bone Spirit Warriors basically sustained considerable damage, but they didn't fall.

After all, they were Bone Spirit Warriors summoned by Shi Ji with all her might; their strength was almost at the third realm.

However, even so, it could be seen how powerful the staff-wielding troll's attack was.

The few demon clan members caught in the firestorm's path had already suffered considerable damage.

However, they had no intention of participating in the battle between the Giant Demon Clan and the humans.

Although the demon clan is not a weak race, there is still some gap compared to the human race and the Giant Demon Clan.

“Kill for me!”

After casting the firestorm, Toba roared, commanding his kin to charge towards Jiang Yuan and his group.

About ten Giant Demon Clan trolls suddenly charged, roaring as they rushed towards Jiang Yuan and his group.

Shi Ji quickly commanded her Bone Spirit Warriors to step forward and block them, but facing these strong Giant Demon Clan members, the Bone Spirit Warriors' resistance seemed futile.

The ten or so Giant Demon Clan warriors were all armed with broadswords or great axes.

Each attack could knock some Bone Spirit Warriors to the ground, unable to get up.

With the strength buff from the staff-wielding troll, plus the skills they used,

ordinary Bone Spirit Warriors clearly couldn't withstand their attacks.

“Someone is invisible over there, trying to pick the moxiang flower!”

Just as Jiang Yuan was watching the Giant Demon Clan charge, Shi Ji, behind Jiang Yuan, suddenly shouted loudly.

At the same time, Re-Zero also drew his bow and shot an arrow towards the moxiang flower on the cliff face.

Shi Ji's sudden shout made everyone fighting in this area quickly look up at the moxiang flower on the cliff face.

The battle had been going on for a while; people had mostly died, and those who needed to retreat had already retreated, but the current battle was even more intense than before.

Because of the deaths, everyone was inflamed with anger, so naturally, not many people were paying attention to the moxiang flower anymore.

And without various perception skills near the moxiang flower, those professions with invisibility abilities could sneak up there.

However, Shi Ji detected them very well.

After Shi Ji's loud shout and Re-Zero's attack, everyone's attention was drawn to the mantis demon falling from the cliff face.

In just an instant, everyone with perception abilities focused all their perception on the cliff face.

The next second, a large number of attacks were unleashed, directly knocking down a dozen scattered individuals from the cliff face.

These were all people who wanted to take advantage of the great battle to make a move.

And for such people, the various races had no intention of being merciful; various attacks surged towards them, and in just an instant, they all turned into corpses.

“How did you detect them?”

After watching a good show, Jiang Yuan then turned and asked Shi Ji curiously.

If he remembered correctly, Shi Ji didn't seem to have any perception-type skills.

“When the battle first started, I used Netherlight to mark all visible targets.”

Shi Ji smiled; she could naturally detect the location of targets she had marked with [Netherlight].

However, because the initial range was too large, consuming too much Star Power, she later only released [Netherlight] in this nearby area.

“No wonder, the Star Power consumption was so terrifying at the beginning,” Jiang Yuan suddenly realized.

The Star Power consumption at the beginning was terrifying.

Even the recovery from [Nine Breaths Qi Cultivation] and [Star Power Futon] couldn't keep up, and it often ran out.

One should know that either of these two could instantly replenish his Star Power when activated.

Yet, it still couldn't keep up.

He had originally thought it was caused by Shi Ji fully activating her Bone Spirit Warriors.

So that's why.

“If we detonate now, how many can we take down?”

“Not a single one.”

Shi Ji shook her head slightly: “I just marked them with a little Netherlight; later, I only released it in our area, otherwise the consumption would be too great.”

“That's true.”

After Jiang Yuan nodded, he looked at the charging Giant Demon Clan members.

In just a moment, two of the Giant Demon Clan members had already been killed by Nezha.

The Qiankun Circle's [Universe Throw] killed one, and the Huntian Ribbon and Fire Tipped Spear combined also killed one.

Coupled with Ao Zhu's little white dragon once again casting accelerated dragon breath on Nezha, Nezha was now like a god of slaughter, roaming in the center of the Giant Demon Clan.

“Damn it!”

Finally, Toba couldn't stand it anymore and charged towards Nezha, staff in hand.

However, while charging, three blue-quality cards also appeared in Toba's hand.

After the three blue-quality cards were used in succession, the staff in Toba's hand also changed color.

It transformed from its original grayish-brown to a black and purple intermix, with red patterns shimmering on it.

“Die for me!”

Toba suddenly leaped, staff in hand, and smashed it down towards Nezha.

He was confident that Nezha absolutely couldn't block this attack, which combined three skills.

[Blood Mark]: Increases attack intensity, first attack power doubled.

[Black Mark]: Increases attack intensity, has a chance to instantly kill the opponent.

(Probability determined by the strength of both sides, as well as the quality of defensive and offensive equipment.)

[Purple Mark]: Attack power doubled.

After using these three simple and brutal blue-quality skills, Toba's attack could directly kill a third-realm opponent, even across levels.

He had tried this in the Martial Arts Arena before.

His school's third-year senior was instantly killed by this very attack.

“Good timing!”

Nezha also smiled, looking at the charging staff-wielding troll.

After a flourish with his Fire Tipped Spear, he charged towards the staff-wielding troll.

The remaining eleven trolls were held back by the Bone Spirit Warriors and the Undead slaves.

Looking at the charging Nezha, a hint of cruelty flashed in Toba's eyes.

If you don't die from this, I'll take your name!

Toba brandished the staff in his hand and swung it down at Nezha.

However, facing Toba's attack, Nezha merely smiled slyly.

His Wind Fire Wheels spun rapidly under his feet, and with the increased speed from the accelerated dragon breath, Nezha had already dodged the moment the staff came down.

Having learned from the last experience, Nezha naturally wouldn't clash head-on with an attack whose specific skill effects he didn't know.

Especially since this opponent was from the Giant Demon Clan.

Those who had fought him before naturally knew his strength, yet this time, he still chose to go head-on.

Only a fool would not know he must have some reliance.

After Nezha dodged Toba's attack, his Fire Tipped Spear suddenly thrust towards Toba's head.

“Clang!”

The blue defensive equipment on Toba's body shimmered, blocking Nezha's attack.

However, Nezha's other hand had already raised the Qiankun Circle, and he swung the Qiankun Circle towards Toba.

“Thud!”

Toba's eyes widened in fury as he watched the Qiankun Circle smash down.

He clearly knew the attack power of Nezha's Qiankun Circle.

That was a weapon that could literally smash their Giant Demon Clan to death.

And that was after applying two layers of defense to the Giant Demon Clan.

He had even seen it just now, it almost killed a Giant Race member, whose physical attributes were even stronger than their Giant Demon Clan.

This kind of powerful attack definitely couldn't be taken head-on.

A blue-quality card appeared in front of Toba.

The next second, the blue card shimmered, and the moment Nezha's Qiankun Circle fell, Toba's body turned into an afterimage, rolling to the side.

“Boom!”

The Qiankun Circle couldn't be pulled back in time; it didn't hit Toba but instead smashed directly into the ground.

The earth trembled, a small crater appeared, cracking outwards in all directions.

“Good heavens!”

Baiyan Xiude, who was watching from the side, was startled by this scene.

He had been thinking of ambushing, but now it seemed better to forget it.

At the very least, he definitely couldn't defeat this Nezha guy.

Since that's the case, he would set his sights on others.

Baiyan Xiude scanned the area and finally chose…
