Chapter 62
Zhang Zhang Shouning: "Oh, right, Zhao Chi, what is his rank now?"
Qi Yue Chong said: "I don't know, look for it from the bottom of the rankings."
Li Li Ruanyu shook her head and said: "You should look from the top. He performed well this time and has already reached 39th place."
Qi Yue Chong suddenly said in surprise: "Eh? Why are all his humans women? Where did the men go?"
Other instructors also entered to observe one after another.
Zhang Zhang Shouning: "Eh? It really is. Isn't his family background poor? How does he have 80 population now? Where did the extra 40 come from? Bought? They couldn't have been captured, could they?"
Li Yin said: "It really is a bit strange. Look at their appearance, it seems their looks have reached 6 points?"
Li Li Ruanyu did not speak again.
Instead, she looked at Zhao Chi's territory, lost in thought.
Time passed quickly.
[The fourth round begins!]
The female soldiers stood ready in full battle array.
Zhao Chi narrowed his eyes and looked into the fog.
He needed to identify the enemy immediately and tell them the strategy as soon as possible.
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz~
Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!
Hmm?
Why is there a dull buzzing sound, mixed with some crisp snapping sounds?
The fog dissipated.
Not far ahead, 40 humanoid whirlwinds were arranged horizontally.
They were nearly as tall as a person and appeared grayish-white overall.
It was like white clouds and dark clouds mixed together, constantly stirred by the rotating wind, looking like a gourd-shaped wind.
On both sides of the main whirlwind, there were two smaller whirlwinds, like two arms.
As the wind rotated, electric currents flashed continuously, and at the same time, crackling sounds rang out.
The women were stunned.
Gu Qing said in surprise: "My lord, what are these things? How do we fight them?"
Zhao Chi frowned: "These are lightning elementals. Why are there lightning elementals in the fourth round? And 40 of them?"
Tang Ruan couldn't help but ask: "My lord, my face feels very itchy. Can they use magic?"
Not only Tang Ruan, but the other women also felt their bodies were a bit itchy.
At the same time, their hair became fluffy.
A large amount of static electricity seemed to have been generated in the surroundings, constantly attracting their hair.
Soon, their black hair stood up strand by strand.
These women all looked like they had permed their hair into an explosion style.
Zhao Chi said loudly:
"Everyone spread out, don't bunch up, and don't let these lightning elementals gather together.
"Everyone start running and lead them away; they aren't very fast, so don't worry.
"When you get close to them, they will use lightning-type spiritual arts.
"Judging by their size, these lightning elementals are weak. One or two electric shocks won't be fatal; just remember to take an elixir if you get injured."
"Every time they use a spiritual art, it consumes their spiritual power, making them weaker and weaker. Once they reach a certain level of weakness, they will dissipate.
"Before a lightning-type spiritual art occurs, there will be dark clouds and a static field above, so everyone can completely dodge it."
Gu Qing asked: "Can we use wooden spears to throw at them?"
"No, you must bait them into using lightning to consume their energy. It's hard to consume much of their energy from a distance. Our current strength isn't enough, so we don't have many options; we can only fight like this."
Gu Qing repeated Zhao Chi's orders: "Did you all understand? Don't bunch up, lead them away, bait their skills, and take elixirs if injured!"
"Understood!"
The women responded loudly and scattered in all directions.
The 40 lightning elementals floated and quickly locked onto their targets.
They split into several groups and drifted away in different directions.
Wherever they passed, green grass fluttered and mud and sand scattered.
Some lightning elementals went to chase a single female soldier, while others bunched up in groups of a dozen to chase one.
Zhao Chi was afraid the female soldiers wouldn't understand, so he wanted to demonstrate it himself.
He rushed toward a lightning elemental.
Gu Qing said nervously: "My lord, don't go, let us do the attracting."
Zhao Chi waved his hand while running: "It's fine, watch closely."
He got closer and closer to the lightning elemental.
The lightning elemental gave up chasing the female soldier and turned to chase Zhao Chi instead.
But Zhao Chi continued to approach.
Soon, the lightning elemental stopped and stretched its arms toward its head.
The whirlwind on its body spun faster, and the lightning crackled.
Zhao Chi felt the surroundings become extremely quiet.
A sound similar to tinnitus rang out.
More than ten meters above his head, a thin mist appeared.
The mist quickly thickened and grew darker until it turned deep black-gray.
Zhao Chi shouted: "See clearly, now!"
The next moment, Zhao Chi darted out, and the lightning struck down.
Whoosh!
White lightning flashed.
The ground where Zhao Chi had been standing was struck, leaving a small pit.
The grass above was snapped and was emitting a wisp of white smoke.
The lightning elemental that released the skill had been one person tall, but now it was a head shorter and a circle thinner.
Zhao Chi shouted: "Did you see clearly? That's how it's done!"
The female soldiers responded one after another:
"We saw it clearly, my lord."
"My lord, I understand, please retreat quickly!"
"We'll handle consuming them!"
"So it's just walking and stopping, understood."
Soon, thunder sounded everywhere.
The female soldiers ran around dodging.
But several female soldiers were still struck by lightning; their explosion-style hair, which had been pulled up by static, now turned into real afros.
"Wah!"
"Ouch, so numb!"
"No, no, my legs are losing feeling!"
"Take an elixir quickly!"
"Okay, I've recovered, continue!"
The female soldiers hopped around, safe despite the danger.
Gu Qing watched for a while and then rushed directly toward a gathering area of 13 lightning elementals.
Looking at her, it seemed she wasn't trying to scatter those lightning elementals, but to bait them into discharging electricity together.
Zhao Chi saw her intention.
He shouted anxiously: "Gu Qing, get back here! If they discharge electricity together, it will increase the power; bait them one by one!"
Gu Qing said: "It's fine, my lord. I've observed for a long time and am confident I can dodge it! This can significantly shorten the time to clear the round!"
