Chapter 404 - 376: Even the Elite Can’t Stop Me from Clearing the Field
Now that Da Fei is at full health, he starts venturing deeper into the jungle towards the Flower Demon Village. As for Little Fei, of course, he continues to glide in a low-altitude sweep. With the Petrification Aura that these beetles could never break through, Little Fei doesn’t need to engage in aerial combat anymore. The consumption of stamina is virtually negligible, so Da Fei is confident in eradicating even more beetles.
At this moment, a small squad of Flower Demons follows behind Little Fei, with the leader being a hero standing on a green halo!
Da Fei’s heart skips a beat! A hero of the Flower Demon Clan! Another rare racial hero, and a flying one at that! This must definitely be a Hidden Profession, right?
However, since this village is also led by a hero, there’s no talking about recruitment; let’s just keep it at maintaining a close and cooperative alliance. Actually, the advantage of hero-led forces is their strength in battle. Just like the Habbit Tribe earlier, who would have thought that such raggedly dressed weaklings could trap a Demigod? If it were a commonplace hero from a regular force, perhaps defeating a Demigod might be possible, but to kill one? How difficult would that be?
Ten minutes have passed, and Da Fei is still struggling through the jungle. It must be said that the jungle terrain significantly hampers the movement of a Human Race hero like Da Fei, and even the Master-level Logistics Skill hasn’t improved the situation by much. Fortunately, Little Fei has cleared an area, and there are no red dots left as far as the eye can see on the entire map.
However, the special effect duration of the World Tree Fruit is so precious, the bug-slaying can’t stop! Da Fei spots even more red dots in the jungle across the river, so he hurries on!
As Little Fei flies towards the other side of the river, Da Fei seems to hear the Flower Demon Hero who has been following them from afar shout, "That side is dangerous!"
Huh! Is this a warning? Does this mean they see me as one of their own? Wahaha, this is exactly the effect I wanted! But, so what if it’s dangerous? I’m having such a blast killing, I just can’t stop!
Alright, I’ll just stay in the back myself to see how dangerous the other side of the river really is. First, I’ll let Little Fei play at high altitude, I don’t believe these bugs have anti-air missiles to shoot Little Fei down!
As Little Fei climbs higher and flies across the riverbank, that small squad of Flower Demons indeed stops at the riverbank and doesn’t continue to follow. It seems there’s a mystery in this space; the two sides of the river are not part of the same map.
Indeed, they are not the same map! I didn’t see clearly upon arrival, but now taking a closer look, there’s quite a difference between the two banks. The jungle on Da Fei’s side is just yellowed and wilted, while the jungle on this riverbank has turned scorched black, and it truly resembles the Black Forest if the leaves were to fall off completely.
According to gaming logic, such a severe infestation must be due to a BOSS stirring trouble. Alright, let’s meet this BOSS and see whether it’s a super beetle or a Demigod beetle having numerous avatars?
Little Fei begins to lower his flying altitude to lure the enemies. Countless beetles fly up to attack, could they be Elite? Da Fei is even more vigilant, widening his eyes and closely monitoring. If anything goes wrong, he’ll fly high immediately! I don’t believe it, can these mere beetles really out-climb a Flying Eagle?
As the swarm of insects approaches and comes into contact with the Petrification Aura in an instant, countless beetles still turn into stone statues and fall to the ground, but this time it’s different. Several larger beetles successfully break through the influence of the aura and fly towards them!
Sure thing, these Elites were anticipated!
Little Fei flapped his wings fiercely and suddenly soared higher! Although these Elite Beetles were unaffected by petrification, they were still slowed down by the aura’s secondary effect. Obviously, they couldn’t catch up, merely fluttering their wings a few times before they could no longer ascend!
So, this is their maximum altitude? Da Fei couldn’t help but laugh in amazement. Bugs will be bugs, indeed incomparable to Flying Eagles. What does this imply? It implies that my Little Fei can ride high above your heads anytime, and I can play with your lives however I want!
But considering they were slowed down by the aura, I actually didn’t need to fly high, right? Even the King Giant Lizard knew how to open the aura and tease the Demigod Giant Crocodile. Why wouldn’t it be the same for me to open the aura and tease the Elite Beetles?
Right, the effectiveness of this Petrification Aura strengthens with the user’s power. Its basic range of effect is 10 meters. Now that my Little Fei has grown twice after learning the aura, how much is the effect now? Da Fei hurriedly checked Little Fei’s Halo Skill:
——Petrification Aura: Activating this spell will form a radial force field of 12 meters, reducing enemies’ Move Speed and Attack Speed by 12% within it, and there’s a chance to petrify enemies in the field. Activating this spell consumes 2 Mana Value per second. The skill’s effect enhances with the user’s level increase.
Ha! Grown twice, the aura expanded to 12 meters and reduces speed by 12% now! Wahahaha! It truly is a heaven-defying skill! Alright, even Elites can’t stop me from clearing the field. I’m going to toy with you all!
Da Fei’s confidence soared without any more concerns. He controlled Little Fei to lower his altitude and circled the field at full speed to attract monsters. In an instant, the beetles of the entire Black Forest took to the air amid the buzzing roar, then fluttered down with a crackling sound! And the Elites chasing Little Fei had already grown to the hundreds!
The scene was so chaotic, so dazzling, that it was impossible for Da Fei, given his skill level, to remain completely unscathed. However, with the World Tree Fruit’s special effect of recovering 3% of Stamina every second, all these hits were bearable— but mentally, Da Fei couldn’t bear it! At this moment, Da Fei felt like he was on an accelerating roller coaster, pumped to the extreme, his heart about to stop, his breath about to freeze, his nerves about to collapse!
No choice, this is the operational and mental limit of the world’s number one amateur player! Da Fei soberly realized it was time to pull back and flee upwards! If not, I’m going to mess up just like that King Giant Lizard!
But, these are hundreds of Elite Beetles! Why won’t they be petrified? I can’t bear to just let them go! Killing a few hundred Elites, can’t Little Fei grow one more time? If it grows once more, could they then be petrified? The problem is, can Little Fei, with the attributes of a level 6 soldier at most, really defeat hundreds of Elites?
However, what if I drag them all to my side, can Little Fei gain a boost from my attributes? Now I’ve got a freaking strong Divine Artifact Necklace! Plus, those Flower Demons are obviously the enemies of the beetles, will Flower Demons help?
Let’s bet! I bet those Flower Demons will definitely help!
At this moment, Da Fei was in an extremely excited state, it’s hard to say if he was clear-headed enough, but anyway, if there’s going to be a battle, make it a fierce one! The Flower Demon beauties are watching by the side, Little Fei’s performance in this one fight will determine the recovery of Beauty Village! (To be continued.
