Chapter 691 - 654: The Real Rival of the Indian Zone
Just as Da Fei and Catherine were saying their farewells, the World Channel lit up with another announcement.
——China Region Announcement: "Hero World Cup" individual international elimination round 6 has started. Good luck to all contestants.
Da Fei chuckled, damn right! Brother has fought so many battles, busy logging or rescuing people, but now brother isn’t frustrated, and I’m gonna compete earnestly for once. Nothing much to say, the same old team heads into battle again, this is a fresh move that sweeps across the heavens.
——System Prompt: You have entered the competition site, the Great Prairie, your opponent is "Yaksha King" from the Indian Zone!
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitched, another great prairie, it’s India! Legend has it that India specializes in all Six Major Races plus a Mage Academy, as well as a Hidden Race part of the Eight Divisions. So which specialty does this Yaksha King have now?
Da Fei immediately checked the opponent’s lineup and was instantly stupefied on the spot!
Kobolds! Giant lizards! Nomadic Knights! Ogres! Sea turtles? Black wild buffalos? Rocs?
Holy shit, creatures I know and don’t know, it seems like sea, land, and air forces are all here, but no sign of the regular Six Major Races or any troops from the Mage Academy! Could this be India’s research into a Hidden Race? But it’s such a mismatch, which race do Kobolds belong to? This is clearly a hodgepodge of monsters!
Is he showcasing his Master-level Leadership Skill to the entire world? Showing off how many tactical positions he has? Or is he just here to act cute? Damn, what’s cute about these disgusting creatures? Right, I don’t recognize the color and pattern of the Hero Aura under this Indian player’s feet either! Indeed, every time I see India, there’s a new surprise!
Anyway, after a moment of shock, Da Fei came back to his senses and waved his hand for the entire army to attack! Faced with such a bizarre opponent, other than launching a full-scale attack, Da Fei seemed to have no other options.
And it wasn’t just Da Fei, the global audience watching the battle was also shocked by this Indian player’s rare lineup! Because in the previous 5 matches, this Indian player named Yaksha King had only used regular Beastman troops with a few from the Hell Race. Could it be that he changed his formation specifically to counter Da Fei? Isn’t that too coincidental?
At this moment, at the Sky Dragon Eight Parts Team command center in Bangalore City, India. When Yaksha King’s opponent turned out to be Da Fei, the entire command center was astounded.
The commander Nehru said solemnly, "Good, a change in formation led us to Da Fei, making this publicity effect even more prominent! Let Yaksha King fight with extra spirit, aiming to achieve the best result."
Yes, the Indian players indeed came to show off, but not to flaunt their Leadership Skill or tactical positions. It was to take this opportunity to showcase the progress of their Guild development, thereby increasing their bargaining power in cooperation talks with India and other regions. In short, it was not long ago that Japan invited India to engage in deep strategic sharing and collaborative efforts against "a common opponent." However, India felt the sincerity from Japan was lacking.
The lineup put forth by India showcases their extraordinary achievements with neutral monster forces. Having such accomplishments with monsters indirectly demonstrates the depth and breadth India has reached in developing the old world map.
However, this subtle yet meaningful display of prowess, especially against Da Fei, a representative figure of "the common opponent," truly put India in a dilemma.
Now, as Yaksha King faced the oncoming waves of Da Fei’s Demon Child Army, the Spiny Turtle stood forward as the first shield, Kobolds ignited fires behind, Ogres went into a blood frenzy, Thunderbirds unleashed lightning and Corrosive Poison Giant Lizards spread their Poison Fog across the entire field. Nomadic Knights performed hit-and-runs on the flanks, creating a small peak excitement right at the onset!
Da Fei’s Demon Child Troop fell one after another in the lightning and poison fog, and the remaining troops who reached the front lines were cut down en masse by the Spiny Turtle’s special skill "damage reflection spikes"—the Spiny Turtle’s reflective damage doesn’t fear high enemy damage, it only fears low enemy damage! The Corrosive Poison Giant Lizard’s poison fog not only kills the enemy but also irritates the eyes of Da Fei’s Secret Archer Troop, causing their accuracy to drop. Moreover, these creature skills are innate special abilities that can be unleashed without requiring Mana, making such a formation almost perfectly countering Da Fei’s brainless Demon Sea.
Half a minute into the battle, one minute into the battle, the slaughter continued! Da Fei’s Red Demon Sea relentlessly charged at Yaksha King’s lines, like flesh thrown into the meat grinder.
But despite this, none of the 400,000 spectators on hand thought Da Fei would lose. After all, in his last match against a Turkish player, Da Fei let the opponent kill for several minutes! And in this battle, how long can the Indian player last?
Five minutes!
When the numbers of Da Fei’s Demon Child Sea dropped below 500, Yaksha King’s line finally broke due to lack of Stamina, and then was torn apart by the Earth Element and Unicorn that followed Da Fei’s forces. Then, in the face of Da Fei’s shockingly high Attack and Defense, the tide of the battle instantly turned.
Da Fei was victorious, once again the brainless Demon Sea triumphed, leaving the global audience in uproar!
Looking at the reversals on the big screen, Nehru’s expression became solemn.
His deputy sighed, "Minister, perhaps the Japanese are right, after all, even Americans and British have started to join forces. We should have joined earlier too."
Nehru said in a deep voice, "Wrong, our real opponent is the Japanese! The Japanese who focus on the Hell Race are destined to use these cheap, low-level, mass-produced disgusting small troops in the National War Zone! We must go all out to develop tactics to counter the Demon Child Sea, numbers! In this battle, we lost to Da Fei’s numbers, we must vigorously develop these special forces!"
"Got it."
.......
Five minutes after the match ended, Da Fei couldn’t help but let out a sigh. India really came to be cute! Brother hasn’t issued a second command besides the all-out attack. After all, Brother’s lineup is truly invincible. But it must also be said that India’s cuteness is indeed high-level. How could an ordinary great person recruit such a mix of troops, right?
Right, I was too busy fighting in the Nightmare Space last game to find time to look for the hidden BOSS in the arena. This round, I’ve run into the grasslands again, so it’s time to search slowly.
So, Da Fei gathered the remaining troops and began a carpet search on the grasslands, then collected over ten herbs used to make Blood and Blue Potion. Not bad, a small appetizer before the main course. These Red and Blue Potions are worth thousands of Gold Coins each, quite expensive.
Finally, a hive half the height of a person was discovered in the bushes, needless to say, this is the arena BOSS.
The strength of an arena BOSS, the richness of its loot, Da Fei very much feels it. And the swarm of bees inside the hive is clearly a special existence that surpasses level 0 troops. If it weren’t for the Divine Artifact Flame Shield, which has a special skill that specifically counters swarms of bees, being banned on the competition server, Da Fei would be too happy to contain himself. Now, he could only face it solemnly and deal with it with all his efforts.
The battle begins!
Clouds of bees swarm like darkening clouds, buzzing, instantly filling the grasslands and engulfing Da Fei’s troops! Countless "-1" "-1" "Paralyzed" "Blinding" damage data floods the screen. Sure enough, facing such tiny creatures’ attacks, Da Fei’s regular troops can only wave their hands and cover their heads, utterly powerless, totally lacking any counterattack strength.
This is the power of the bee swarm! Against tiny swarms like bees and ants, the usual method of restraint is to bombard them with magic before they get close, but once it gets to this point where they’re close to you, using magic could cause friendly fire and harm your own troops.
Fortunately, this is the competition server, where friendly fire is allowed. Elena must take action now.
With a flash of fire, the cloud-like bee swarm explodes like a mist of fire, and after the explosion, the grasslands become instantly quiet.
Da Fei stands there woodenly, wondering if the BOSS is too weak or if Elena is too strong?
— System Prompt: You’ve successfully defeated the grasslands’ hidden BOSS bee swarm and obtained the competition reward: low-quality Hive Specialty. The competition reward will be sent to your region server after the competition ends.
— Low-quality Hive Specialty: Capable of producing homemade "honey," cultivable in woodlands, grasslands, gardens, etc. Low-quality goods can be cultivated to level 5, thus earning the right to be listed for sale in the exchange.
— System Prompt: Congratulations! You have completed the competition and successfully advanced. The next match will start at 16:00 Beijing Time. Please pay attention to the competition time...
Da Fei’s eyebrows twitch—BOSS dropped a specialty! Any BOSS that drops specialties is a good BOSS, but what the heck, there is even such a thing as low-quality homemade honey? It’s not even level 5 quality? Damn it, isn’t this drop just terribly awful?
Honey is already a common commodity everywhere, almost every Elf City produces it, so trading and selling honey would definitely not be profitable. Only high-quality honey has market competitiveness. The fact that they didn’t award high-quality honey specialty is one thing, but to give this as a reward?
What’s more important is that this drop is nowhere near in the same league as items like the Nightmare Horn, Sandworm Mining Car, and Six-headed Snake Ring. They’re all arena BOSSes; how could there be such a huge difference?
And of course, Da Fei doesn’t know that at this moment, on the other side of the Earth, Fortson is viciously flipping off the screen showing Da Fei in the competition!
.......
Anyway, the low-quality Hive is somewhat useful, and that is for personal use. Tachiusu once said that they are in urgent need of honey to increase the population output. They will manage a hive themselves to produce a batch, then when Brother is free, the Flying can transport a batch of high-grade goods to their village, and things will be settled like that.
Plus, Anlicia seems to be an expert in beekeeping. With her guidance, perhaps it could be upgraded to level 5 quality in no time? And the Habbit Village Chief also said that creatures in the World Tree Space are much stronger than those in the outside world, does that mean Brother has an even bigger chance of upgrading the quality of bees raised in the high-end World Tree Space?
In short, having been delayed for a day already, I need to rush and take care of the Flying’s cargo delivery. Otherwise, if I happen to encounter the Blood Sea receding, it will be troublesome.
