Earth's Best Gamer Chapter 353 - Battle Array: Pine Trees Into Humans!

Chapter 353: Battle Array: Pine Trees Into Humans!

Now that the Dragon Aura in his body had been exhausted, it was impossible for Ji Ye to locate Fang La with the Mirage Cloud Mirror from the sky.

Besides, as the leader of a cult, Fang La must’ve changed his appearance as early as possible, unlike Cao Cao back in the Battle of Tongguan where he didn’t cut his robe and beard until Ma Chao chased him.

However, even if Fang La was hiding, the Twin Dragon Island still had ways to locate him.

“Ask Yi He to locate Fang La with divination.”

After fighting his way out of the enemy camp, Ji Ye spoke to the mini walkie-talkie.

Yi He was one of the two players who survived the Musical House settlement.

Because of his mastery of his family divination skills, and his special Mystic Tortoise Sh.e.l.l that could infer the direction of a target, he had been sent to the center of the battle!

“One kilometer to the northeast?”

Half a minute later, Ji Ye received the result that Yi He had figured out at the cost of some of his vitality.

“Huh? It’s a forest of pine trees!”

Then, a yellow light flashed on Ji Ye, and he reached his destination only some ten seconds later with Distance Reduction. After only a brief pause, he chose to enter the forest of pine trees in his way.

Although it was always risky to enter a wood in a war, there was no way that he would let Fang La escape.

Besides, his Dragon-Subduing Strike had become Flawless, and there were few things that he needed to worry about now that he had been strengthened again!

“Well, he should be right up ahead…”

After moving a hundred meters in the wood, Ji Ye soon found a cavern whose entrance had been blocked by a rock that had fire patterns.

“Huh?”

However, when Ji Ye attempted to break into the cavern, a strong wind suddenly rose in the forest, and dense black smoke spread out. The environment became so dim that it was impossible to tell the direction!

“His Majesty has foreseen that you will chase him to this place.

“Today, I’m going to get back at you for my severed arm!”

In the darkness, a squeaky and angry voice echoed. It was Bao Daoyi, whose arm was severed by Ji Ye the previous day.

“The black cloud rises, and the trees are under my command!” Bao Daoyi chanted some spells.

Then, he roared with the shrieking voice of a rat, “Capture and kill this man!”

Splas.h.!.+

In the forest that was wreathed in abundant black smoke, the pine trees, which had mottled rinds and must have lived hundreds of years, quickly turned into tall human beings wearing dark brown armors with black smoke popping out of their eyes.

“An array? A spell?”

Seeing that, Ji Ye furrowed his eyebrows.

No wonder Bao Daoyi, who was merely Extraordinary Rank-8, was confident of killing him. The man had set up an array here.

Also, judging from his tone, Fang La had obviously been prepared for this. It explained why Bao Daoyi, as the National Advisor, didn’t appear on the battlefield when the situation was not in their favor.

“Those are the Wood Warriors that I’ve enlivened with the Chisong Divine Technique. Even if you can command the Flood Dragons, there is nothing you can do in front of the real divine techniques that I learned from my master…”

Bao Daoyi’s squeaky voice echoed again distantly, and it was impossible to tell where it was from, but he sounded c.o.c.ky and proud.

“Chisong Zi…”

Ji Ye spoke in a soft voice.

The core players of the Twin Dragon Island had all read the original novel of the Water Margin. They naturally knew Bao Daoyi’s background.

According to the novel, the man was a Daoist who was converted on the Jinhua Mountain in Zhejiang, and Jinhua Mountain was one of the 36 miraculous places to the Daoists. It was where Chisong Zi was deified!

If this was really a technique that was pa.s.sed on by a deity, the Wood Warriors transformed from the pine trees wouldn’t be easy to deal with.

Pa!

Ji Ye slapped one of the Wood Warriors who had just been transformed.

Crack!

After a dull crack, the Wood Warrior that was more than five meters tall was flung meters away. Quite a lot of black smoke dispersed on its body, and its armor half-collapsed too. A deep dent in the shape of a fist appeared on its body with cracks around it.

However, the Wood Warrior wasn’t killed. Instead, after the ubiquitous black smoke covered up the cracks, it continued to move towards Ji Ye.

The other Wood Warriors were also enshrouded in black smoke as they surrounded Ji Ye.

“Haha, no matter how strong you are, can you possibly deal with divine techniques?”

Bao Daoyi sounded rather proud in the black smoke.

But in reality, he was quite shocked.

It must be noted that pine trees were very dense, and those pine trees, having lived hundreds of years, were as hard as iron after transformation. Even so, one of them almost exploded after one slap from Ji Ye!

“…”

Ji Ye frowned slightly.

In the next moment, he pushed his hands and raised six streams of dragon-shaped aura. It was exactly Riding Six Dragons, the ultimate move in Dragon-Subduing Strike!

Rumble…

Six Wood Warriors that were more than five meters tall collapsed and cracked from the middle. The black smoke around them was also shattered by the magnificent Dragon-Subduing Strike.

“What?”

Hiding almost fifty meters away from Ji Ye, Bao Daoyi, who was casting spells with his only hand left, quickly changed his expression.

“Wood Warriors, heed my order!”

He quickly unleashed the power of the array and transformed even more pine trees into warriors to surround Ji Ye.

At the same time, more black air popped up from his head to suppress Ji Ye’s vision and other senses.

“Huh?”

Ji Ye was truly frowning this time.

The black smoke could affect his mental power. It was sort of a mental attack.

His mental power had just entered Extraordinary Rank-8 and wasn’t as good as Bao Daoyi’s, and he had run out of the Dragon Aura that could resist mental attacks.

He had truly been deprived of his senses!

Sizzle! Sizzle…

Furthermore, the black smoke did not just block Ji Ye’s senses. It had also rendered the wireless walkie-talkie useless too.

Apparently, on the Land of Inheritance, the power of cultivation worked on devices from the science side too.

Splas.h.!.+

In the middle of the roiling smoke, a hundred Wood Warriors had surrounded Ji Ye in every direction.

Those Wood Warriors were even stronger than the guards earlier.

After all, none of those Holy Fire guards could’ve taken one punch from Ji Ye the hard way.

It was possible to destroy the Wood Warriors with the Dragon-Subduing Strike. However, even Ji Ye couldn’t eliminate the countless Wood Warriors with brute force alone.

After all, the Dragon-Subduing Strike consumed a lot of True Qi, and although the Yin and Yang Sutra provided incessant inner strength after it became Flawless, it still had physical restrictions.

Ji Ye had fought for hours. He was more or less tired even though he had the Flood Dragon bloodline!

“Kill him!”

Bao Daoyi’s squeaky voice came out of the black smoke.

“Rise!”

Faced with the second crisis that happened right after the first one, Ji Ye suddenly extended his hand and made a gesture to cast a spell. A stream of black smoke rose to the sky from his head. Then, a golden-armored general three meters tall appeared in the black smoke and smashed the Wood Warriors with an enormous stick!

“How is it possible? How can you…”

After he saw that, Bao Daoyi’s voice trembled violently for the first time, and he lost control over the black smoke and the array.

At the same time, Ji Ye’s eyes suddenly turned silver.

Hum!

In the next moment, he fully unleashed the power of lightning in his body towards the Wood Warriors around him!
