At this moment, the bubble burst, and the water-based puppets imprisoned inside awoke. Sensing the presence of living people, they rushed over.
Even from a distance, one could feel the intense resentment emanating from them, causing those with lower cultivation levels to involuntarily shiver.
"Everyone to your positions, archers fire in unison, scouts prepare traps, the rest of you prepare for close combat..." Despite her pale face, Bi Linglong issued orders one by one with a resolute expression.
Her calm voice resonated with the others, and the previously somewhat chaotic formation stabilized.
Whoosh whoosh!
A dense barrage of arrows shot out, each shimmering with white light. These were ice elemental arrays carved by rune masters, capable of absorbing vital energy and transforming it into ice elements.
This matter concerns the Crown Prince's grand examination, and the royal family has prepared ample supplies for them. The Azure Moon Dragon can devour other ferocious beasts and refine their souls into water-based puppets, so ice-based magic arrows have been specially prepared to deal with it.
Those who shot the arrows were the best of the major families, and soon many ice-type magic arrows hit their targets, causing patches of ice to rise from the water-type puppets.
If these were just the expected sixth-grade ferocious beast puppets, they would probably have been frozen into ice sculptures after being hit by so many specially made magic arrows.
Unfortunately, these were previously seventh-grade ferocious beasts, and although the ice arrows formed patches of ice on their bodies, they were not enough to freeze them.
The lingering fighting spirit of their souls enraged them at their injuries, and they roared as they charged toward the group. At such close range, there was no time to fire a second volley of arrows.
At this moment, the scout team that Bi Linglong had just mentioned had already set up a trap on their inevitable route.
Various flashes of light appeared, indicating that the traps and mechanisms had been triggered.
The four water-type golems trembled as if emitting a silent scream, and even their shapes became dull and lifeless. However, they eventually broke through the trap area and rushed directly into this formation.
At this moment, the warriors from various factions, who were already prepared, rushed forward and divided and besieged their respective targets according to the established strategy.
Bi Linglong did not move, but instead directed operations from the center, calling in reinforcements from the other side whenever one side was on the verge of collapse, while issuing various attack and defense orders.
Warriors kept screaming as they were injured or even killed, but under Bi Linglong's command, the overall formation did not collapse. On the contrary, everyone was infected by her emotions and fought bravely and fearlessly against the enemy.
Someone had his intestines spilling out from being gored by the golden bull's two large, sharp horns, but he still used his last bit of strength to keep stabbing the golden bull's neck with his weapon, trying to deplete its water elemental power as much as possible.
Someone was struck in the waist by the Heavenly Thunder-Devouring Tiger's thick tail, his body instantly severed in two, but his upper body still clung tightly to the other's hind legs, trying to slow it down.
Some people were stabbed by the sharp quills on the black boar, their bodies covered in blood and gore. Seeing that they were doomed, they simply pounced on it, using their bodies as shields for their teammates.
Seeing their teammates easily torn in two by the Frost Bear, some people not only did not retreat, but instead, with their eyes reddening, they rushed forward one after another.
...
That's why, what should have been a crushing defeat for four seventh-rank puppets turned into a close contest by these people.
Zuan held these people in high esteem. He had previously looked down on the so-called experts from these powerful families when he saw those young masters from aristocratic families.
But at this moment he understood why these people were able to pass the selection of various families, and why the emperor was at ease letting them accompany the crown prince to complete the mission, because these people were indeed the best of their respective families.
He did not make a move because his enemy was not these water-based puppets, but the tens of meters long ninth-grade dragon in mid-air.
Not long after it started, the Azure Moon Flood Dragon locked onto his aura. Clearly, the intelligence of a ninth-grade ferocious beast made it realize immediately who among this group posed the greatest threat to it.
Zaun was also searching for the opponent's weakness. The ninth-rank ferocious beast possessed a powerful physique, various innate skills, and combat abilities comparable to a human at the Grandmaster level.
A normal human ninth-grade cultivator would have absolutely no chance of winning against it. Even someone as strong as Han Fengqiu, a peak ninth-grade cultivator, could only manage to protect himself at best.
Zuan is currently at the ninth rank and fourth level. Due to the various divine skills he possesses, the quantity and strength of his vital energy far exceed those of other cultivators at the same level. However, he has little chance of winning against a Grandmaster, but with his endless stream of skills, he is not without the ability to fight.
So the human and the dragon faced off, silently searching for each other's weaknesses.
The Azure Moon Dragon was also watching the battlefield. Seeing its water-type puppet fighting so fiercely with the lowly and weak humans, it was secretly furious. It opened its big mouth and spat out a water ball.
The water sphere instantly transformed into the shape of a strange bird.
"Azure Sky Feathered Eagle!" A hint of despair flashed in Bi Linglong's voice, for this was an eighth-grade ferocious beast!
I never expected that this Azure Moon Dragon could devour an eighth-grade ferocious beast. No wonder it was able to advance to the ninth grade.
The four seventh-grade ferocious beast puppets had already pushed them to their limit, so how could they possibly withstand this eighth-grade ferocious beast?
However, she bit her red lips tightly, determined not to give up until the very last moment. The order was just reorganized, and the archers who were originally preparing to hunt down the four puppet beasts were now shooting at the Azure Feather Eagle in the sky.
Countless arrows shot out in response, but the Azure Sky Mystic Feather Eagle spread its wings and flapped them, releasing countless water elemental bubbles.
The once menacing crossbow was instantly trapped inside the bubbles, and the ice elemental power attached to it was almost instantly melted away.
