Chapter 1097 - 1120: Battle Against the White Monsters
The sight of over a thousand white monsters startled Chu Linfeng and his companions. The monsters’ strength was around the Golden Immortal Realm, and just like the saying "many ants can bite an elephant to death," it posed a significant threat to Chu Linfeng’s group.
Xuanyuan Yueyan and Ice and Snow Fairy’s faces changed abruptly. Not appearing before was one thing, but appearing in such large numbers now was exhausting; the two women looked towards Chu Linfeng.
Chu Linfeng’s expression also fluctuated. Truly slaying these white monsters was laborious, and the most crucial part was not knowing the light attribute of the white monsters. The darkness monsters were corrosive, so the white ones needed probing.
These monsters are too weak, and to ascertain the light attribute requires dealing with stronger monsters. The only way to get stronger monsters to appear is to slay all these creatures.
"Yueyan, Ruo Lan, be careful. Though these creatures aren’t strong, their numbers are intimidating, don’t let them hurt you. Old Jin Xiaoying, go all out to slay them to draw out stronger monsters." Chu Linfeng directly commanded.
The Golden Demon Vulture and Xiaoying transformed into their gigantic forms and rushed forward. The Fire Golden Body and Earth Golden Body joined the fray, while Chu Linfeng stayed by the two women’s side without attacking.
"Lin Feng, why aren’t you attacking these monsters? There are thousands of them, how long until they’re completely slain?" Ice and Snow Fairy anxiously said.
"There are indeed thousands, which is very risky. I must protect you. If anything happens to you, I’d regret it immensely." Chu Linfeng chuckled.
"You know how to sweet talk, but it doesn’t work on us anymore. We’re your women now; keep those disgusting words to yourself, they’re unpleasant to hear." Ice and Snow Fairy replied.
Xuanyuan Yueyan laughed and said, "Ruo Lan, there’s no need for Chu Linfeng to act. These monsters might be at Golden Immortal strength, but their attack power is weak. Haven’t you noticed they haven’t wielded a single weapon? They’re just fodder to be slain."
Ice and Snow Fairy took a closer look, finding it as Xuanyuan Yueyan described, a large number were dead, and several white beads appeared on the ground. "These creatures seem defenseless, could there be an issue?"
What Ice and Snow Fairy spoke mirrored Chu Linfeng’s thoughts. It’s improbable for these bright monsters to be so weak, and this situation is certainly unusual. Though these creatures are cannon fodder, it’s remarkable they couldn’t even approach any of the four’s bodies before being slain.
The Golden Demon Vulture flapped its wings, releasing countless golden feathered arrows, resulting in a large number of instantaneous deaths. Unlike the darkness monsters, these creatures couldn’t regenerate rapidly; once dead, they vanished, morphing into light elemental molecules.
The more Chu Linfeng witnessed this, the stranger he felt about it. It didn’t take long for the over thousand creatures to be completely slain by the four, and the four sustained no injuries. The battle felt as though they simply stood still, allowing them to kill, lacking any excitement.
"Boss, aren’t we amazing? We handled the creatures in no time! Who’d expect these light attribute white monsters to be so weak? I hope the next monsters are tougher for a challenge." The Golden Demon Vulture transformed into a middle-aged man and approached Chu Linfeng.
"Never be careless. I believe the monsters will become increasingly harder as we proceed, more dangerous than the darkness monsters. Everyone, stay alert." Chu Linfeng advised.
Waiting for almost half a stick of incense, no tremors arose from the ground, making everyone feel puzzled. Suddenly, the space went into violent tremors, and over a hundred monsters, nearly half larger than the previous white ones, appeared before everyone.
Upon seeing these monsters, Chu Linfeng noticed they possessed Immortal Monarch Realm strength, with each wielding a white long sword emitting a ghostly glow, clearly indicating their significant combat capabilities.
"Old Jin, didn’t you find the previous opponents too weak? Now’s your chance to slowly slay these; continue on! How about letting me handle the next batch?" Chu Linfeng remarked.
"No problem, monsters of the Immortal Monarch Realm can’t harm us; boss, just watch our excellent performance!" said the Golden Demon Vulture, racing forward again.
This battle was much more thrilling, with occasional explosions of energy colliding. The white monsters’ swords unleashed sword qi attacks of substantial power, prompting the four to fight diligently.
Before long, bruises adorned the Golden Body and Golden Demon Vulture, whereas Xiaoying’s unnaturally high defense showed no signs of damage, but he was visibly exhausted, mouth agape, overly frustrated from only managing to kill under thirty.
Dissimilar to the earlier scene of slicing through them like carrots effortlessly, he opened his mouth wide, releasing a Lion’s Roar, slaying over ten white monsters afterward.
The Golden Demon Vulture losing flight capability here weakened his strength greatly; otherwise, with his speed, he could penetrate white monsters’ bodies effortlessly, making it easy to slay them.
"Lin Feng, please assist. Haven’t you seen how tired Old Jin and the others are? If they deplete their Immortal Spirit Qi here, who will protect us when stronger monsters appear?" Xuanyuan Yueyan calmly stated.
Reflecting momentarily, Chu Linfeng realized Yueyan’s point. The next monsters might be at the Mid-stage Immortal Emperor Realm, and he had no idea how many would appear. Ensuring Xiaoying and the others conserve their strength was necessary to protect them.
The Reincarnation Bracelet restricted him; otherwise, he’d put Xuanyuan Yueyan and Ice and Snow Fairy into the Storage Ring. Under the current circumstances, he couldn’t but let them share the risks.
In a flash, Chu Linfeng’s Cyan Frost Divine Sword drew a vast sword aura, charging into the monster crowd. The Cyan Frost Divine Sword’s sharpness combined with Chu Linfeng’s powerful attack perfectly showcased its might, within breaths slaying seven or eight monsters.
Witnessing Chu Linfeng slaying at such ease, Xiaoying and the Golden Demon Vulture couldn’t help but remark, "He’s such a beast, while we almost died of exhaustion, he slays as though playing a game, it’s truly frustrating."
With Chu Linfeng’s addition, the Fire Golden Body and Earth Golden Body’s power seemingly intensified, and slaying white monsters came easier. After half a stick of incense, the hundred monsters were thoroughly slain.
Noticing several crystal white beads on the ground, Chu Linfeng picked a few, returning to the two women. "How was my performance, ladies? These beads feel quite decent, so I’m giving them to you as this battle’s spoils."
