Then he turned to Elder Yanxin: “Elder, I think we should delay our movements and observe the situation. If David and the others can resolve this, that would be better. If they can’t it will buy us time to find another path to Yanling Valley.”
These words sounded grand and noble, but in reality they were cold and cruel. They used David and his group as cannon fodder to attract the firepower of the beasts, so that the Earth Fire Pavilion could take the opportunity to turn or retreat.
Huo Ling’er was shocked and said in disbelief, “Brother Yan Lie, how can you say that? They are our comrades!”
“companion?”
Yan Lie sneered, “Little Sister Ling’er, you are too naive. They are only here for the reward. If they were really in a life and death situation, they would be the first to run. This is just a working relationship, why should it be taken so seriously?”
He looked at the other guards: “Don’t you guys agree?”
The other guards remained silent.
Even though he was annoyed, he did not dare to refute Yan Lie.
After all, they had come for the rewards, and there was no reason for them to risk their lives for the Earth Fire Pavilion.
Elder Yanxin thought for a moment, then slowly nodded: “Yan Lie is right. Our main task is to collect the Fire Spirit Grass, and we must not cause any unexpected complications. Since David and the others have received the task of opening the way, they must be prepared.”
He stared ahead: “Observe for a moment. If they are no match for us, we will decide whether to provide support or retreat.”
“Elder!” Huo Ling’er stamped her feet anxiously.
However, Elder Yanxin had already made up his mind, and the Earth Fire Pavilion disciples remained on guard and showed no intention of coming forward to provide support.
The front line of the battlefield.
David heard the conversation behind him, but his expression remained calm.
Lin Feng and Shi Meng looked gloomy.
“Damn it, they actually used us as cannon fodder!”
Shi Meng spat, “I shouldn’t have accepted this mission!”
Lin Feng smiled wryly: “It’s too late to talk about this now. Fellow Daoist Chen, what should we do? Fight or retreat?”
David watched the three-headed lava giant ape and the fire bat swarm get closer, then said calmly, “You all step back and protect yourselves. I will handle this.”
“You alone?” Lin Feng was surprised.
“Um.”
David stepped forward, and the hazy and chaotic immortal power in his body began to surge.
Faced with such a powerful force, he did not hold back in the slightest.
The first giant lava ape had lunged forward, its stone fist that was as big as a millstone, carrying a scorching shockwave, smashing fiercely towards David!
David did not dodge or dodge, but instead clenched his right fist and met the attack head-on.
Two fists, one big and one small, collided.
“explosion!”
Amidst a deafening roar, the Lava Giant Ape’s extremely hard rock arm shattered bit by bit, starting from its fist!
The crack spread all the way to his shoulder, and his entire arm exploded with a loud sound, causing rubble and lava to splatter everywhere!
The giant ape let out a painful roar, its huge body staggering backwards.
David’s figure flashed, and he appeared above the giant ape’s head, stomping his right foot hard.
“Broken!”
The giant ape’s head was crushed by a single stomp, and its huge body crashed onto the ground, turning into a pile of rubble and cooled lava.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye.
The other two lava giant apes and the fire bat swarm hadn’t even reacted yet.
“roar!”
The two remaining giant apes roared furiously and pounced simultaneously. Countless fire bats also swooped down with strange screeching sounds, spewing out a barrage of soul-eroding fireballs, like a crimson rainstorm!
David made a hand seal and softly chanted, “Chaos Area, open.”
Centered on him, the space within a thirty feet radius suddenly distorted.
A light mist spread out, and all the soul-eroding fireballs that entered the area suddenly slowed down, then disappeared soundlessly like melting ice and snow.
The fire bats that were swooping down seemed to lose their bearings as soon as they entered the gray mist. They spun in place and then fell one by one, dead before they even hit the ground.
Chaos Domain – This was an early prototype of a domain formed by David by combining the power of the God of Chaos with his shallow understanding of space and time.
Although not perfect, this system was enough to deal with these low-intelligence beasts.
The two giant lava apes rushed to the area, their movement momentarily slowing down as if they were fighting in a muddy swamp.
David appeared like a ghost beside a giant ape, his fingers formed into a sword shape, releasing a spray of gray sword energy.
