Chapter 141 Chaos Marching Formation, Self-Destruction?

A soldier took out a ghostly light crystal, and light immediately shot out in all directions, expanding into a light ball about two hundred meters in size.

He Qi immediately looked around, but there was nothing in his sight.

"Where is it..."

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A sharp sound of wind came from the darkness, and three spears shot from three different directions. This time, everyone was prepared, knowing that the Light Sacrifice Barrier could not withstand these attacks, so they all made dodging moves.

Although the spear was extremely fast, it was not difficult for everyone to dodge it if they were prepared in advance.

However……

The black shadow in the air suddenly trembled, and then drew a curved trajectory in the air. There was a whistling sound and it quickly rotated in the air. The next second, a soldier was unable to dodge and was hit directly!

"What?"

An attack also targeted He Qi. His pupils dilated rapidly as he watched the black spear, which he had already dodged, turn in the air like a floating insect and shoot towards his chest without slowing down. He felt his heartbeat suddenly speed up.

Will this attack turn?

At this moment, He Qi had just made a dodging move and his old strength was gone, but facing this attack, he was surprised and calmed down instantly.

It was too late to dodge as his new strength had not yet been generated. He could only withdraw the force supporting his body in an instant and then twist his body with all his strength. Only then did he finally succeed in avoiding the vital points before the attack came.

Click!

The black spear passed by his chest, and the duel shield had been activated, appearing in the air. He Qi widened his eyes and could even see the dense cracks spreading on the contact points of his shield!

It just grazed the shield, yet it almost shattered it...

Bang!

Boom!

He Qi fell on his back and then quickly rolled up. At his side, the spear pierced straight into the ground, splashing up a cloud of dust.

laugh……

After being inserted into the ground, the spear quickly turned into black smoke and dissipated. He Qi didn't bother to check the shield and casualties, and hurriedly stood up.

"At nine o'clock, turn the light as far as it will go!"

Buzz...

The light from the dim light crystal shot in one direction. Finally, when the light shone on an open space about 700 meters away, He Qi discovered a vague black shadow.

The black shadow realized that it had been found and was fleeing quickly, but since He Qi had already seen it, he naturally would not let it go.

"Sacrifice Spear!"

A warrior immediately stretched out his hand, and the sabotage spear he had summoned long ago shot into the darkness in an instant.

The speed of the explosive spear was very fast, but the speed of the black shadow was not fast enough. When it was about to leave the range of the light, the flashing light on the explosive spear suddenly dimmed for a moment, and then a ball of gray light burst out from it, and the speed increased again!

Boom!

A sonic boom cloud exploded in the air, and the spear seemed to turn into a real light, catching up with the fleeing shadow in an instant.

"Report, successful hit."

"Walk."

He Qi gritted his teeth and injected soul energy into the Light Marching Formation at a faster speed. He turned around and left with the team.

They had only traveled half the distance and already lost three soldiers.

Originally, they had considered advancing in the dark. After all, opening up their vision within the Nightmare's borders had both advantages and disadvantages. While it would make the march smoother, it would also cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

After all, the wild beasts in the Nightmare Border feed on the Phantom Crystals. If they don't take out the Phantom Crystals, there definitely won't be so many wild beasts causing trouble for them.

But now it seems that this plan may not work.

In the darkness, there is actually a wild beast hidden that is capable of long-range attacks... and the range of this wild beast is very long, more than 700 meters, and its attacks can even turn in the air.

This means that if they don't activate the Phantom Light Crystal, they won't be able to see where the wild beast is, and they won't be able to counter it at all, so they can only deal with it passively.

As for the result of passive response... the attack of this wild beast seems to be very effective against shields like the Light Detonation Barrier. If the Detonation Barrier can be maintained at the highest defense level, it may be able to withstand it. However, if they want to trigger a reverse attribute explosion, they must actively reduce the defense of the barrier, which is very annoying.

Therefore, the presence of such a wild beast requires them to keep the dim light crystals open at all times, and the field of vision cannot be lowered too low, and the visual range must be maintained at least 800 meters.

But this would require at least two of their warriors to focus on maintaining the Phantom Crystals, preventing them from participating in the battle. Furthermore, they had just lost three warriors...

The battle situation suddenly became urgent.

However, after the previous battle, they seemed to have successfully escaped from the bat group. Although the three wild beasts lurking in the dark were more annoying this time, the slowed attack rhythm still gave them a chance to catch their breath.

These three wild beasts are all epic and powerful, and now they appear in groups. If their decks did not have a great advantage in team battles, they would not have been able to hold on until now.

The March of Light kept moving forward, and everyone in it divided the work among themselves. A bunch of Sacrifice Spears of Light were suspended in the March of Light, becoming more and more unstable with the infusion of soul energy.

In the marching formation, after the soul energy of the soul cards of the sympathetic explosion series reaches the critical value, they can be thrown aside and ignored. They will then automatically float in the formation and can be used at any time when needed.

With time to prepare, He Qi and the others were able to respond much more calmly.

A tiger-shaped summoned beast with black and white patterns on its body was summoned out and followed the crowd forward.

The Light and Shadow Destruction deck doesn't have many summoned beasts, but they are all very powerful. They share a common characteristic: they possess both light and dark attributes. However, once summoned, the conflict between these attributes intensifies, and after a short period of time, they automatically enter a death cooldown.

Because of this characteristic, they will often only summon summoned beasts to clear the field at critical moments, and most of the time they still use spell cards to clear the way.

This feature is actually a compromise made out of helplessness - the light and dark attributes are too difficult to reconcile, and there are very few summoning cards that possess both attributes at the same time, so they simply think in reverse. Since the contradiction is irreconcilable, they will simply increase the contradiction. As long as this disadvantage is big enough, it can also become an advantage!

Just like this mottled tiger, since it was summoned, the color of the black and white patterns on its body has been deepening continuously, the white is brighter and the black is darker. In the end, it is almost impossible to see the details of the hair, and only pure colors can be seen intertwined together. This means that it may self-destruct at any time.

But on the other hand, its abilities are also very powerful, especially its perception, which is extremely sharp. As soon as the invisible wild beast approaches, it will be discovered immediately and then bitten to death.

Although the mottled tiger is rare, its contradictory attributes and extremely short existence time have given it a powerful panel. Epic creatures like the invisible wild beast, which are not good at frontal combat, are no match for it.

This allows others to focus on guarding against distant dangers.

suddenly.

A tumbling mass of limbs appeared on the road ahead. He Qi's expression hardened, and he immediately said, "It's almost time... Let the spotted tiger out."

"yes!"

Roar!!

The mottled tiger roared and rushed out of the marching formation of light. Almost at the moment of rushing out, the black and white colors on the mottled tiger's body immediately mixed together. Then, a group of gray light and shadow that was larger than before rose up, covering the entire group of giant wild beasts.

In fact, the attribute conflict in the mottled tiger's body had already reached its limit, but because of the effect of the marching formation, it had not yet entered the death effect - under normal circumstances, the existence time of the mottled tiger was calculated in seconds, and if it was not in a team battle, it would not be used at all.

However, although the marching formation can extend the duration of the spotted tiger, it cannot be extended indefinitely. The upper limit is determined by the number of people who maintain connection with the marching formation at the same time.

There are seven of them now. Logically, they can suppress the attribute contradictions in the mottled tiger's body for a longer time, but any longer... they don't dare to do it.

When the mottled tiger enters the death cooldown, it will self-destruct. The longer it exceeds the critical time, the greater the power of the self-destruction will be, and this self-destruction... does not distinguish between friend and foe.

In addition, the mottled tiger will immediately go out of control once it breaks out of the marching formation, so if it really reaches the limit of seven people's suppression, then none of the people present will be able to escape and they will all die. Even because of the connection with the soul energy well, the duel shield may not be able to protect them from being injured.

Even now, the explosion was still incredibly dramatic. The epic beast was devoured whole, uttering only a fleeting, agonizing cry before dying. And they...were also affected by the blast. The shattered barrier surrounding the March of Light shook, nearly dissolving on the spot.

But fortunately, because the barrier has just been replaced, the current barrier's defense is still considerable.

"Almost there, the last five hundred meters..." He Qi recalled the map in his mind.

A mere 500 meters would only take about half a minute with the support of the marching formation.

At this moment, a red light suddenly flashed in the corner of He Qi's eyes, and immediately, a chill rushed directly to his scalp!

He immediately said, "Turn off the lights!"

interest!

Although the warriors controlling the phantom light crystals did not understand what was happening, they immediately followed He Qi's orders. In an instant, the light was immediately suppressed, leaving only the light of the marching formation and the suicide bombing barrier still swaying.

He Qi still felt unsafe, so he raised his hand and the marching formation was canceled!

"Squad leader, you..." A soldier was about to ask a question, but suddenly stopped.

There is no need to ask, because the answer is right in front of you.

A huge silhouette appeared in the distance at some point, and two scarlet gazes crossed the endless darkness and fell quietly on everyone.

"Legendary level..." He Qi gritted his teeth, "Put away the Phantom Crystal, don't let it see it..."

The soldiers didn't dare to breathe and quickly put away anything that might attract the approach of the huge silhouette.

For a moment, darkness enveloped the surroundings again, and faint squeaking and rustling sounds came from the darkness, so clear that they seemed to be ringing next to the ears.

But at this moment, the danger these sounds might indicate was no longer important, as their minds were completely drawn to the huge outline in the distance.

Because of the darkness, they had no idea how close the wild beast was to them. It might be very far away, or it might be... right in front of them.

Everyone crowded together, trying to keep everyone within the four-meter field of vision, and then He Qi waved his hand lightly and made a gesture.

keep going.

That's all I can do.

They didn't know whether the wild beast had noticed them or was interested in them, but the current situation was that even if it was right in front of them and wanted to attack them, they probably wouldn't be able to resist... Not to mention them, didn't they see that the ancient capital of the previous project could only withstand the random attacks of this wild beast?

The target of this mission is right before our eyes. As long as we sneak past quickly, it shouldn't be a problem...

However, this is just their idea. The wild beasts in the darkness do not think so.

Although I don’t know why those lights with unique smells disappeared all of a sudden, as long as we continue to attack them, those lights will definitely come out again, right?

squeak!

There were loud screams, and dark shadows were moving in the darkness. In the distance, huge limbs were wriggling and surging towards them!

He Qi immediately said, "Activate the backup plan!"

Buzz...

A black line spread across the earth, inconspicuous in the darkness.

Where there is light, there is darkness. All the spell cards in the Light and Shadow Sacrifice deck correspond to each other one by one, and what appears now is the Dark March.

A black square barrier also opened up and moved forward along with the marching formation.

However, the light and shadow explosion relies on the contradiction of attributes to output damage. Now they dare not use the light attribute soul card and cannot create an explosion. The strength of a single card is not high. Facing those wild beasts in the darkness, it is very difficult to deal with them for a while.

Casualties occurred in almost the blink of an eye!

Bang!

The duel shield was shattered, and several black shadows penetrated through, taking a warrior away directly.

He Qi frowned and said without hesitation, "Li Ming, cover the rear."

"yes!"

A warrior turned around on the spot and raised his hand to shoot out two soul cards.

Spell Card: Light Explosion Barrier!

Spell Card: Critical Mass: Maximum!

Buzz!

When the two spell cards were used together, an unprecedented huge barrier suddenly rose from the ground, and the dazzling light broke through the darkness. Suddenly, the wild beasts in the darkness rushed over like sharks smelling blood!

Before the wild beasts completely surrounded him, Li Ming suddenly groaned. The mental pressure directly exceeded the threshold. He had no choice but to detonate the barrier immediately.

boom!

The gray ball of light expanded irregularly, and then shot up into the sky under an inexplicable force, forming a gray pillar of light.

The beam of light continued to expand its boundaries, swallowing up everything around it, until everything gradually calmed down and all the wild beasts had disappeared... The same was true for Li Ming's figure.

His duel shield was shattered at the beginning of the explosion.

He Qi heard the faint sound of explosion behind him, but his expression did not change. He continued to advance in the dark marching formation.

Anyway, with the duel shield there, there will be no real casualties.

suddenly--

Boom!

The earth trembled violently, and He Qi's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no...it's footsteps!

That legendary wild beast moved!

He Qi gritted his teeth and without hesitation, he took out another card.

"Zhang Xing, lead it away."

"yes!"

Without any hesitation, a soldier immediately broke away from the team, took out two soul cards, and rushed towards the approaching huge silhouette!

Light rose in the darkness, but was quickly swallowed up.

Taking advantage of this time, He Qi has activated this soul card.

Anyway, I won’t really die. At most, I’ll be dizzy for half a day... There are no other activities in the afternoon, so I’ll just be dizzy!

Activate: March of Light!

The patterns of light lit up under his feet, and they complemented the black patterns perfectly!

In an instant, black and white blended together, and a ball of gray light and shadow enveloped them, and then their speed increased again!

Chaos Marching Formation!

One of the warriors activated the Soul Card and summoned the Light Detonation Barrier. This time, the Light Detonation Barrier exploded immediately after it appeared, but the ball of gray energy did not dissipate. Instead, it surrounded the Chaos Marching Formation and did not dissipate for a long time!

Anyone who dares to stand in front of the army will be swallowed up by the gray energy on the spot without exception.

"Ah!" He Qi roared angrily and increased the speed of the marching formation to the extreme. Suddenly, the duel shield cracked and the shield, which had already reached its limit, shattered on the spot, sending He Qi out of this strange space.

Fortunately, the speed has been increased, and the light and shadow will not dissipate quickly. Everyone then turned into a black meteor and plunged into the space passage at the exit.

…

auditorium.

Yu Cang and Lin Yunqing looked at each other.

"This is too much..." Yu Cang couldn't help but frowned, "Why do I feel that the achievements of the Imperial Capital are very dangerous for Soul Card Masters to use..."

"Using power beyond the norm always comes at a price." Lin Yunqing's expression remained unchanged, but a deep gloom could be seen in his voice. "The Imperial Capital's achievement clearly traded the Soul Card Master's own safety for the ability to strike back."

The abilities at the beginning were fine and normal, but something was amiss starting with the Mottled Tiger. The Critical Mass: Maximum and Chaos Marching Formation at the end were practically self-destructive.

If it weren't for the Duel Shield, this team might have been wiped out by their own Soul Card abilities at some point in the wave.

However, it must be said that the destructive power of this deck is indeed very strong. Judging from the results of the battle, the final "self-destruction" was able to hurt the legendary wild beast, and even caused more damage than Fang Pei. It was just that He Qi kept running away and did not fight.

The price was a bit high, requiring a suicide attack. But regardless, even with a near-self-destruction method, being able to create such power with just one tube of soul energy from a fourth-level soul card master was indeed a powerful achievement.

Having said that, this project was much more difficult than the one in the morning. It was thrilling and exciting throughout. It was only because the Imperial Capital was very strong, otherwise, if another team came, they would definitely not be able to pass the first kill.

Even in the imperial capital, the battle was extremely brutal. Of the ten-man team, only four were left who passed through the alien space. Even the team leader He Qi was sent out of the alien space in the final sprint.

At this time, Wan Quan returned to Yu Cang's side.

Seeing that his face looked a little ugly, Yu Cang asked, "What's wrong?"

"Three members of the Imperial Capital team fainted." Wan Quan shook his head. "They're under too much mental pressure. Even the association's doctors don't dare wake them up, fearing they'll die on the spot. The Imperial Capital's deck this time... well, I don't know how to put it. I have to admit, on the battlefield, having a method of mutual destruction like this is always better than waiting for death after all other means have been exhausted. But I really don't want this deck to be used by the entire army. It's simply not needed on a normal battlefield..."

"...You don't have to worry about that," Yu Cang said. "You should also understand that with us here, they won't be able to qualify for the army-wide promotion."

Hearing this, Wan Quan also smiled: "That's right... Fortunately, I have you, Master Yu Cang."

…

A room

"It's quite powerful, but it's a bit disabling." Jiang Shan shook his head. "It's shameful that they got the intelligence in advance and still fought like this."

"However, there are some commendable aspects." Qiu Zhong narrowed his eyes, as if thinking. "On the battlefield, one more method means a greater chance of victory. Once the Mechanical system is fully implemented, consider adding the last few cards of this Light and Shadow Destruction deck as a plug-in."

"I say," a silver-haired lady on the other side of the table said, "The competition hasn't even ended yet, and you're already predicting that the ancient city will take first place?"

"...Just kidding, Miao Yun," Qiu Zhong said with a laugh. "You and I should both be able to see that first place will definitely go between the Ancient Capital and the Imperial Capital. From what we can see so far, each has its pros and cons. So, it's naturally up to us to choose the deck that's more suitable for the entire army."

"Hehe." Lei Wanqing laughed a few times. "Of course, I believe everyone here should prefer the Mechanical Department of our ancient capital a little more, right?"

"Lei Wanqing!" Jiang Shan's mouth twitched, "Don't show such an expression, this mechanical system wasn't created by you!"

"Hehe." Lei Wanqing leaned back in his chair, smiling, but did not answer.

"That's true." Miao Yun could only smile.

The stable high combat effectiveness gained by pre-stocking and consuming wild crystals, and the one-time burst gained by sacrificing personnel... Although the upper limit of the latter is higher, the former is definitely more suitable for promotion throughout the army.

At this moment, Lei Wanqing said:

"From what you guys are saying, do you think the Imperial Capital's deck has a higher ceiling than our Ancient Capital's?"

"Hmm?" Qiu Zhong looked over. "From what you said... isn't that right?"

"If you think so, you're underestimating my confidence in submitting all the projects." Lei Wanqing's brows relaxed, his eyes scanning everyone's expressions. "I can tell you this: among the decks promoted by the entire army, we won't leave a single slot for our Ancient Capital Mechanical deck."

"Oh?" Miao Yun raised her eyebrows. "So confident?"

Seeing Lei Wanqing's confident look, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

That young man named Yu Cang is really not an ordinary person. Even someone as arrogant as Lei Wanqing would actually protect a young man like this.

Come to think of it...my little granddaughter seems to be about the same age as Yu Cang.

Miao Yun turned her gaze to the window.

Alas, we are both participating in this kind of competition at the same young age, so why is there such a big gap between us?

She actually wanted to hear these old guys praise their granddaughter.

Thanks for the tip~
