Chapter 218: The Hunt Begins
The Water Monster Race led a large army surging forward. Among these Water Monsters, there were also many shrimp soldiers and crab generals who were not members of the Water Monster tribe, but rather Sea Monsters.
However, they didn't look any different on the surface, so who would know which side they belonged to when they fought?
Ao Yue remained hidden, waiting for the opportunity to assassinate Zhang Chi.
He couldn't make a move on the frontlines, but killing a human cultivator at the Foundation Building realm in secret was a piece of cake.
Of course, he was just going to take a look. If Zhang Chi was killed by the monsters and beasts summoned by the Enchanting Banner, he wouldn't interfere.
If there were any variables, he would be the one to take action.
Although Ao Yue didn't think it was necessary, Hong Li was cautious in her actions, and he was willing to indulge her.
The Water Monsters surged forward, shocking the human race.
The Water Monsters had clearly been at a disadvantage last time, and it was expected that they would retreat step by step. Who would have thought that they not only didn't retreat but also launched a counterattack?
Of course, the Human Alliance was not afraid.
King against king, general against general, nearly twenty Divine Ability experts soared into the sky. This was not the total number of experts; there were still some experts holding the rear.
It was expected that with twenty Divine Ability experts on the field, they would be able to deter the Water Monster Race.
Moreover, the human race had also learned from the lessons of the previous battle.
Last time, they were too hasty, thinking that they could easily win with their numbers, so they didn't have a overall commander.
But the Water Monster Race had Red Carp Monster King commanding them, so the strength displayed by both sides was completely different.
Therefore, before this battle, the alliance had already selected the overall commander, Huang Li, a Perfected Being from the Celestial Melody Pavilion.
Huang Li had only arrived to support them in the past two days. Upon hearing that the opponent's Monster King knew the Sea Monster secret technique that could break the Heavenly Sound Secret Art, and even mocked Miao Yin, Huang Li came to help settle the score and regain face for the Celestial Melody Pavilion.
In terms of pure combat ability, Huang Li was actually not Miao Yin's opponent.
But one thing restrains another. Her sound-killing technique happened to be able to break the Sea Monster's sound-killing technique, thanks to her Spirit Beast.
Her Spirit Beast also had a trace of Phoenix bloodline in its body, although impure, it was not an ordinary Spirit Beast. With her sound-killing technique, it could perfectly counter the Sea Monster Race's sound-killing technique.
After all, birds eat fish!
In fact, Miao Yin also had a Divine Ability that could restrain the Sea Monsters, her "Silence of All Sounds," which could counter all sound-killing techniques.
However, she was defeated last time because she was too hasty and released this important Divine Ability too early.
The Divine Abilities of Divine Ability experts cannot be released casually. The seeds of Divine Abilities incubating in their bodies need to accumulate a certain amount of power before they can be used again, similar to a skill cooldown.
Generally speaking, the more powerful the Divine Ability, the longer the cooldown time.
Therefore, the timing of releasing Divine Abilities is crucial in battles between Divine Ability experts, not to mention that many people only have one kind of Divine Ability they can use.
This time, Miao Yin could indeed use "Silence of All Sounds" to counter Red Carp Monster King, but in doing so, it would appear that the Celestial Melody Pavilion's sound-killing technique was inferior and could only rely on other tricks.
The prestigious righteous sects value face, which is why Huang Li came to settle the score.
As for the position of overall commander, that was another level of struggle.
According to reason, the Dragon Transformation Palace should be the leader of the Dragon River Basin, and the overall commander would usually be someone from the Dragon Transformation Palace in order to gain the trust of the others.
However, the reputation of the Dragon Transformation Palace has been damaged too much recently. Many things happened before that made the other sects less inclined to listen to the Dragon Transformation Palace.
This power struggle can be seen now.
With the cooperation of other sects, Huang Li became the overall commander.
When Wenren Li watched them discuss it initially, she felt that something was wrong. Such a major war matter, such an important position, was actually not selected based on abilities, but on connections and relationships. It was simply outrageous.
This territory is clearly a small place, but the trend of ranking by seniority is no less than that of the Wenren Family.
The Wenren Family is getting worse with each generation, but their style is becoming more refined with each generation.
With the experience of the Wenren Family, Wenren Li actually felt that the human race couldn't defeat the Water Monster Race.
Even though the human race is strong, she still had this feeling.
And now, with the Water Monsters surging forward, she sensed a hint of danger.
The situation seems a bit off, so Wenren Li silently retreated behind the others.
Because she was already the representative of the Sword Sect, her status was no longer as important as before, and she received much less attention. Therefore, her actions did not attract much attention.
Of course, this is also the effect of the Unmoving Bright King.
The Unmoving Bright King is a hereditary Divine Ability of the Wenren Family, seemingly related to the Buddhist Gate. It has a strong converging aura and a characteristic of not attracting attention. It is the favorite Divine Ability of the sixth generation.
There is no need for any more nonsense in this meeting. Hong Li directly ordered the start of the war. As soon as she spoke, she immediately unleashed the ultimate move, Sea Monster Chant.
A voice that seemed to penetrate the soul suddenly resounded, catching many people off guard.
This is an indiscriminate area-of-effect attack. After Hong Li spoke, a giant turtle erected a turtle barrier behind her.
The sound waves of the Sea Monster were transmitted and bounced back towards the human camp. Is this a combined attack?
The human alliance had to admit that they were being shown up by the Water Monster Race this time.
"The harmonious song of the phoenix!"
Huang Li, the Perfected Being, quickly countered. She and her Spirit Beast, the Oriole, displayed a combined Divine Ability. She imitated the phoenix, and the Oriole's cry sounded like the phoenix bird. The harmonious singing together seemed to cleanse people's souls.
With this sound, people's Primordial Spirits were calmed, and their hearts were at ease.
The power of the Sea Monster's sound that disturbed people's minds was directly nullified. And with the clear singing of the phoenix, a huge phoenix phantom hovered in the air. The physical crushing effect brought by the Sea Monster's sound dissipated when it encountered the phoenix phantom, like melting snow.
The Sea Monster's skills were clearly restrained.
Not only that, all friendly forces were strengthened, their fighting spirit was enhanced, and they were immune to spells that caused confusion.
Although Huang Li, the Perfected Being, became the overall commander due to complicated reasons, she was not a fool and naturally seized the opportunity to counterattack.
You have all been strengthened, go up quickly!
Zhang Chi, who was patrolling in his position, also saw this scene. With Cai Yu's help in broadcasting, as long as he maintained a certain distance from Cai Yu, he could see it.
When he saw that Huang Li's incarnation was a phoenix, and the illusion of Huang Li, the Perfected Being, was a phoenix, Zhang Chi was a little stunned.
Could this Huang Li, the Perfected Being, be someone who likes birds?
Ahem, let's not delve into the literal meaning.
The battle outside was fierce, but Zhang Chi still remained at his post without leaving his duty.
The more this time, the more cautious he had to be of the Water Monster's sudden attack.
And Yin Xun had long convinced the easily flammable Treasure Weapon Sect. The time had come, and he silently lurked a hundred zhang away from Zhang Chi, inserting the Demon Summoning Banner...
