Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting-Novel

Chapter 270 – Triangular formation

While talking, he squatted down and drew a triangle on the ground, “We will fight near the three vertices of this triangle to attract the surrounding monsters so that they won’t affect Yuan En Huihui’s rest. You can kill at will, but everyone should pay attention to safety first. If you encounter a monster as strong as the Lightning Blue Leopard, immediately move closer to the other two parties. There is no need to wait for an hour.”

“Okay.” Bing Tianliang agreed, and led Lin Donghui and Yu Tian towards one of them.

Dong Qianqiu glanced at Lan Xuanyu and gestured to him before pulling Lan Mengqin away.

Lan Xuanyu understood what she meant : he could summon her directly when encountering danger.

When they were all gone, Qian Lei whispered: “Are you really not taking the opportunity to rob Yuan En Huihui ? Isn’t that blue crystal core valuable ?”

Lan Xuanyu glanced at him and said, “We can’t grab it now. His role is not yet finished. He can attack at range, and his attack power is extremely strong. He has a much easier time than us to kill monsters in a large area. And from our observations just now, it can be seen that these monsters should have a special way of contacting each other. The more you kill, the more it will attract monsters. It is exactly the same scenario with Yuan En Huihui’s previous encounter with a large group and that particularly powerful Lightning Blue Leopard. We surround him and kill monsters, on one hand it’s for protecting him and letting him rest. On the other hand it will gradually attract more monsters. At that time, we can regroup and when Yuan En Huihui who has rested enough finds so many monsters will naturally start to kill them all.”

Liu Feng didn’t listen too carefully to Lan Xuanyu’s subsequent explanation, he only paid attention to Lan Xuanyu’s first sentence.

What do you mean you can’t grab it now? You really plan to rob him!

At this moment, he heard Lan Xuanyu speaking to him: “Maddie, have you noticed where the crystal nuclei obtained by Yuan En Huihui is placed? Does he have a soul storage device ?”

Liu Feng said: “It shouldn’t be there, he should have everything in his portable supply bag.”

Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes, nodded, and said, “Understood. Let’s go.”

As there were quite a lot of monsters around this place, they were soon able to encounter them. Lan Xuanyu was in the center, using his ice and fire elements to control the assault. Qian Lei summoned the Earth Dragon as the main force. And Liu Feng used his speed and attack power to finish the monsters. A herd of less than ten heads was not enough to pose a threat to them.

Compared to soul beasts, the monsters’ attack patterns here were relatively simple. Each monster had only one talent ability, and it was not very strong. They also did not encounter a monster as powerful as the previous Lightning Blue Leopard.

But just as Lan Xuanyu had judged, as the number of monsters they killed increased, the number of beasts that came over began to increase.

“Xuanyu, how much do you think Yuan En Huihui needs to rest?” Qian Lei asked Lan Xuanyu with some confusion.

Lan Xuanyu said: “I can’t tell. I’m not familiar with his ability. However, based on his previous consumption, he will have to rest for at least one hour to fully recover. Then we can just move according to that minimum time and not let him rest anymore ¯_(ツ)_/¯.”

Qian Lei asked with some confusion, “How do we not let him rest?”

Lan Xuanyu naturally said, “Bring the monster to him and let him get up and work.”

Qian Lei’s expression as he looked at Lan Xuanyu transformed towards one of shock like in a meme, and then gave him a thumbs up, “You won.”

Lan Xuanyu smiled slightly and said: “In our side, all three groups of people are killing monsters and this is definitely going to attract more monsters. Then we will lead the monsters from our side to Yuan En Huihui, at that time he’ll be forced to do everything he can and he’ll surely be able to kill more than us. Qianqiu and Bing Tianliang will both withdraw, and those monsters will most likely be attracted by him as he killed more monsters. From observation, the largest of these groups has at most 100 monsters and there are not too many groups of this size. That’s why Yuan En Huihui can rest for a while after killing one group. The Lightning Blue Leopard was probably the head of the previous group. If in every area there is such a herd, then, what we will bring to him later should be from this area.”

Qian Lei smiled bitterly: “After cheating him so, what should we do if he knows? He has five rings!”

Lan Xuanyu said, “When that time comes we’ll talk about it, who knows he’s maybe going to thank us.”

Qian Lei was stunned, “Thank us? Are you serious?”

“Enough chit chat, let’s quickly kill the enemy, another monster is coming.”

An hour passed quickly, Lan Xuanyu and the others killed more than 30 monsters one after another. When another group of more than twenty monsters rushed in, Lan Xuanyu called Liu Feng and Qian Lei, turned his head and ran away.

The running direction was not the meeting point, but the place where Yuan En Huihui was resting.

Seeing that the distance between the stone crevices was not far away, Lan Xuanyu motioned to Liu Feng. Liu Feng picked out the White Dragon Spear, and unleashed his White Dragon Rise. A monster was picked into the air, Lan Xuanyu bounced up and kicked the monster directly into the crevice of the stone.

The golden-patterned Blue Silver Grass was released and wrapped around Liu Feng. Liu Feng’s speed increased sharply, leading the two of them to turn and run.

“Bang!” The corpse of the monster was thrown out of the crevice of the stone, and it immediately attracted the monsters that were catching up from behind. Purple arrows shot out one by one, toward them.

And the three persons who had attracted the monsters, left through an angle invisible from the stone crevice.

Relying on his spirit power, Yuan En Huihui definitely felt someone passing by, but it was impossible to know what kind of person it was. Facing the incoming monster, he naturally proceeded to kill them without hesitation.

Lan Xuanyu and the three returned to the meeting point, not long after, the Bing Tianliang team and the two girls Dong Qianqiu and Lan Mengqin from the other two sides also returned. Naturally, they did not come back attracting monsters, but returned after killing all of them.

Compared to Lan Xuanyu and the others, these five had harvested a lot more.

The three persons from Bing Tianliang’s team had harvested more than fifty crystal nuclei, while Dong Qianqiu and Lan Mengqin had gained more than sixty.

Lan Xuanyu took the initiative to hand over 30 crystal nuclei they had harvested to Lan Mengqin. Lan Mengqin rolled his eyes, but still took it.

“The more we kill monsters the more they are, will they find us by following our trails ?” Bing Tianliang asked Lan Xuanyu.

Lan Xuanyu smiled slightly, and said, “No, even if they try they will find him and not us. He killed more than us. While he is here, he is like a magnet. Those monsters will be attracted to him first. As long as each of us killed less monsters than him, when the monsters come, they will give priority to him. Previously, we actually helped him intercept the monsters that came to him from three directions. Now we don’t intercept them. Naturally, the monsters that come later will go to him first.”

Soon, Lan Xuanyu’s words were confirmed. With Yuan En Huihui starting to kill monsters again, plus his previous killing aura, more and more monsters began to rush towards him.

A group of dozens of them could not threaten him at all, and were quickly killed by him. However, after all, he was only one person, and soon, there were hundreds more coming. Ever since, Yuan En Huihui was forced to switch to a fight and run.

After an hour’s rest, his strength seemed to have recovered more than half. And as he was more experienced than before, his speed of killing monsters had begun to increase.

With the help of the first spirit ability, his previous ordinary arrows sometimes couldn’t kill a monster in one hit. Now he adjusted it a bit and shot exclusively the eyes killing a monster in one shot. His killing speed had clearly increased.

However, just as Lan Xuanyu had judged, it seemed that a crowd of hundreds of monsters would be led by a monster akin to the alpha. Soon, a big-bellied purple bird appeared above Yuan En Huihui’s head. This big-bellied purple eagle was much stronger than the one they had seen on the plane. It began to spat purple light with extraordinary power one after another.
