Chapter 318: Escape, Hide, This Battlefield is Too Dangerous!
"Shi Ji, want to try out your new skill?"
Watching Nezha and Zhao Gongming charge forward while Shi Ji remained behind him, Jiang Yuan asked with interest.
"Forget it, my skills are all single-target, and there are too many of them on the other side. Let them handle it."
Shi Ji chuckled lightly as a black skeletal magic wand appeared in his hand, followed by a dark wave of energy emanating from him as the center.
Nezha, Zhao Gongming, Mu Qianshan, and a few of Shi Ji's Undead Enslavement minions, also had a black halo envelop them.
At the same time, a similar black halo appeared around the twelve people who were just fighting.
However, Jiang Yuan could clearly feel that something about them seemed different now, right?
The very next second, a young man who was trying to withstand Zhao Gongming's attack suddenly slipped, and his head hit Zhao Gongming's steel whip.
"Bang!"
Like a smashed watermelon, the young man's head burst, and the next second he vanished from the spot.
"What a pity, this is after all the assessment field. If it were the All Clans battlefield, we could be collecting spoils of war now."
Jiang Yuan was slightly disappointed but then curiously turned his head to Shi Ji: "By the way, what skill did you just use?"
Both of them were sitting on the Unihorn Smoke Beast, and were already quite close to each other. When Jiang Yuan turned his head, he was almost touching lips with Shi Ji.
"Misfortune Wand, similar to Zhao Gongming's God of Wealth skill, though not as effective as his."
Shi Ji's mouth curled into a small smile, and after stepping back a bit, he spoke.
"However, judging by the look of that person just now, using two skills at the same time probably has an effect greater than the sum of their parts."
"I see."
Jiang Yuan nodded, as he was only half-turned, he didn't realize how ambiguous their previous pose was.
The two teams in front of them were about Jianglu Mid-stage and Jianglu Late-stage in power, and didn't last long in the hands of Nezha, Zhao Gongming, Mu Qianshan, and the Undead Enslavement minions.
"There's no loot, no points, no rankings... it's really disorienting."
After seeing Nezha and Mu Qianshan return, Jiang Yuan also spoke with a laugh.
"Whoosh!"
Just as Jiang Yuan spoke, a blue Bow and Arrow shot towards him.
"Clang!"
The blue arrow hit the Linglong Pagoda, consuming nearly half of Jiang Yuan's Star Power.
Jiang Yuan's face changed, and he immediately urged the Unihorn Smoke Beast: "Run!"
At his shout, whether it was Nezha, Zhao Gongming, or Mu Qianshan, none hesitated.
The Undead Enslavement minions stayed behind to block the enemy, while the four opted for a strategic retreat.
Before leaving, Shi Ji also summoned some Bone Spirits to hinder their pursuers.
After Shi Ji advanced to Purple Quality, the Bone Spirits he could summon also included new breeds.
Bone beasts!
Similar to the Black Flame Bone Horse and the like, but with more forms.
Like tigers, wolves, elephants, etc.
Like the hyenas that appeared now.
Bone beasts were somewhat stronger than Bone Spirits, but only a bit.
After all, the Bone Spirits also enjoyed the bonuses from Shi Ji's advancement in Quality.
The group didn't hesitate, but as soon as they started to move, two more powerful figures began to chase after them.
Mu Qianshan looked back and was also shocked.
"Great Liang Mid-stage!"
They were Fifth Realm, Great Liang Mid-stage in strength!
And not just one person!
"That's why I'm saying we should run."
The wind carried away Jiang Yuan's voice, but Mu Qianshan could still hear it.
He nodded, naturally understanding how Jiang Yuan had gauged the strength of their opponents.
Linglong Pagoda!
The Pagoda could use Star Power to block attacks, and more Star Power consumption meant a more potent attack.
For someone in the same Realm as Jiang Yuan, it typically only required about one-tenth of Star Power to block a Purple Quality Card attack.
If it's the same Realm, but an increase in a minor rank, the Star Power consumption is around one-fifth.
And if it's an upgrade in a major rank, even if Jiang Yuan was Late-stage Jianglu and facing an Early-stage Great Liang attack, the Star Power consumption would skyrocket to half of his total Star Power.
By extrapolation, for Mid-stage Great Liang it would be two-thirds, and a Late-stage Great Liang attack could reduce Jiang Yuan to a mere trickle of Star Power.
Of course, this was just a rough estimate, as everyone's attack style and power vary.
But it was a viable method for approximately assessing an opponent's strength.
"It looks like that bunch can't catch up with us."
Mu Qianshan looked back and then started to laugh.
Shi Ji's Undead Enslavement minions and the Bone Spirit Army might not have been many, but they were enough to temporarily hold them off.
Although they were wiped out with just one attack, Jiang Yuan and his party weren't slow, and the delay provided by the Undead Enslavement and Bone Spirit Army was enough for them to run a great distance.
"This small town seemed empty, empty. Yet, once a fight breaks out, so many people show up."
After Mu Qianshan finished speaking, Jiang Yuan managed to chuckle weakly.
He was still not used to this feeling, like a startled bird that had been attacked and had to run away hastily.
