Chapter 340: Real Combat — Enemies Are More Than One!

The night wind howled.

Outside Casting Star Town, the Black Rock Mountains.

This place was a stretch of endless wilderness mountains, and also one of the famous leveling areas near Casting Star Town.

The monsters' levels were basically all between Lv. 50 and Lv. 60.

At this moment.

In the night sky.

A streak of crimson light tore across the heavens.

Big White's massive body landed at the edge of the Black Rock Mountains.

It folded the blazing wind-wings on its back and shook the snow-white fur on its body.

A flash of human-like excitement gleamed in its pupils.

At the same time.

The skills circled around Big White, all of them extremely excited.

【Fireball】, blazing flames rolling all over its body, immediately struck the pose of the big boss.

【"Listen up, all of you!"】

【"Same old rules tonight! Whoever gets first place gets tomorrow's login rights on Big White for a whole day!"】

Saying so.

【Fireball】 quickly began dividing up territory.

【"I am the number one skill in this household, so I'll do the assigning."】

【Fireball】 looked around and made its decision.

【"The west side is mine."】

【"Third, you take the east."】

【"Fourth Sister, you take the north!"】

【"As for the south side..."】

At this point.

Hearing Xiao Huo paused, a hint of perfunctoriness in its tone.

【"The south side is left for Second and Fifth."】

Once the territory was divided.

【Ice Spike】 let out a delicate snort.

【"Heh."】

【"I don't care which side I go to, Young Lady will get first place no matter where."】

Cold air overflowed around Hearing Xiao Bing, its tone full of arrogance.

【"Your crude killing methods are still far too inefficient."】

【"Only absolute freezing is the fastest way to clear the field."】

【Lightning Strike】's face was full of contempt.

【"Arrogance."】

【"Under heavenly punishment, all beings are equal."】

【"First place will inevitably be this king's."】

Seeing Hearing Xiao Bing and Hearing Xiao Lei so arrogant, 【Fireball】 chuckled and said:

【"Hmph, let me tell you all."】

【"I've already had some new insights. Tonight's first place will definitely be mine — none of you get a share!"】

Just then.

【Earth Shield】 was unhappy.

【"Hey, hey, hey!"】

Hearing Xiao Tu, steeling itself, jumped out to protest.

【"Why?!"】

【"Why do you three each get your own direction, while Fifth and I have to squeeze into the south side together?"】

【"That's not fair!"】

Hearing Hearing Xiao Tu's protest.

Hearing Xiao Huo mercilessly let out a snicker.

【"Fair?"】

【"You cowardly thing that can only throw up walls and take hits — what fairness do you want?"】

Hearing Xiao Huo looked at Hearing Xiao Tu with contempt.

【"With your and Fifth's touching little damage, going to a place with lots of monsters would just be wasting time, wouldn't it?"】

【"You and Fifth just stay huddled together in the south side. The Face of the World out there is too dangerous — it's not suited for you two."】

Hearing Xiao Bing also timely added a stab.

【"Exactly."】

【"You two can't compete for first place anyway, so what's the point of wanting such a big territory?"】

【"Hoarding a latrine without taking a dump?"】

At this point.

Hearing Xiao Bing's tone shifted as it looked toward the bewildered 【Wind Blade】 beside it.

"Old Five."

"Listen to Fourth Sister's advice."

"Don't follow that fool Second Brother anymore."

"He knows nothing except taking beatings."

Little Bing said persuasively.

"Why not come to the north?"

"Follow Fourth Sister, be Fourth Sister's little lackey."

"You just need to help Fourth Sister blow some wind and create some momentum; Fourth Sister will teach you how to be an elegant mage."

Hearing Little Bing's recruitment.

'Wind Blade Technique' blinked its innocent big eyes.

It looked at the aloof Fourth Sister.

Then looked at Second Brother.

"Um..."

"Thank you, Fourth Sister."

"But... but Little Wind still wants to follow Second Brother."

Little Wind's tone was very firm.

"Second Brother said we must protect the Master together!"

"Little Wind wants to follow Second Brother to learn how to take beatings... no, how to protect the Master!"

Hearing these words.

Little Bing disdainfully rolled her eyes.

"Stubborn."

"Following that coward, you are completely ruined."

Hearing this, 'Earth Shield Technique' immediately flew into a rage.

"What do you mean ruined?!"

"Fourth Sister, watch your words!"

"How are we ruined?"

"We have clear division of labor!"

Little Tu puffed out his chest and said proudly.

"You are the thugs who go to the front to fight to the death!"

"And I and Old Five are the Master's last line of defense!"

Little Bing didn't even bother to look at him.

"Too lazy to deal with you, wasting time."

The words had barely fallen.

'Ice Spike Technique' turned into a beam of ice-blue light and sped northward.

Seeing Little Bing had already set off.

'Fireball Technique' was not to be outdone.

"Want to snatch first place? No way!"

Boom—!

'Fireball Technique' erupted with flames, turning into a wild fire meteor that lunged fiercely westward.

'Lightning Strike Technique' said nothing more.

Lei Ting leaped like a mad snake, turning into a blinding Lei Guang that tore through the night sky, heading straight east.

In the blink of an eye.

Hearing Xiao Huo, Hearing Xiao Lei, and Little Bing had all run out of sight.

On the spot.

Only 'Earth Shield Technique' and 'Wind Blade Technique' remained alone.

And the bewildered Big White.

'Earth Shield Technique' looked at the direction they had left and snorted.

"Hmph!"

"A bunch of brutes who only know how to fight and kill!"

"They don't understand the value of protecting the Master at all!"

Saying this.

Little Tu turned his head and looked at Little Wind beside him.

"Old Five, ignore them."

"They are just jealous that we can protect the Master up close."

"Come, Second Brother will take you to the south to practice skills!"

Little Wind obediently nodded.

"Okay, Second Brother!"

Little Tu suddenly thought of something, cleared his throat, and put on the air of an elder brother.

"Old Five."

"The Master specifically instructed tonight."

"To help you properly comprehend the 'Sky-Splitting Wind Blade' from earlier today, do you have any thoughts now?"

Hearing Second Brother's question.

Xiao Feng struggled to recall the scene he had witnessed at the training ground during the day.

"Hmm..."

Xiao Feng's soft, childlike voice rang out, carrying a hint of uncertainty.

"Wind is free."

"As long as you forcibly compress the wind and prevent it from scattering."

"Compress it to the extreme, and it becomes incredibly sharp!"

Xiao Feng blinked his eyes and summarized:

"So, Master wants me to learn how to compress the wind into a very sharp blade to cut down enemies!"

"As long as the enemies are cut down, Master will be safe!"

Hearing Xiao Feng's answer.

Hearing Xiao Tu fell silent, sinking into deep contemplation.

Afterwards.

It shook its head and said with grave seriousness:

"Xiao Feng, your line of thinking has fallen into the inferior path."

"Even if you compress the wind into a sharp blade, what then?"

"In true combat, the enemy will not be just one!"

"I, your Second Brother, have followed Master through so many battles, large and small; Master's fighting style has always been one against many!"

"What if you kill one enemy? So what?"

"What about the rest?"

Hearing these words.

Xiao Feng was instantly startled, and the green light surrounding him trembled.

"That makes sense, Second Brother!"
