Ye Li's heart was lifted when he heard that. If what the other party said was true, they could indeed join forces to fight. After all, it was unrealistic to take a detour through other places. Even if they could find a way to go around, they would probably not be able to catch up with the top sixteen.
Although crossing the mountain from here involves some risks, the benefits are enormous. At the very least, it can save them a lot of time and arrive at the mountains much earlier.
After taking a look at the rock wall opposite, Ye Li turned to Xiu Nian and said, "Brother Xiu Nian, I can cooperate with you. So how can we cooperate to ensure that we pass through here?"
When Xiu Nian heard that Ye Li agreed to cooperate with him, he was delighted and said quickly: "Junior Brother Ye Li, the way to cooperate is actually very simple, that is, you try your best to help me share some of the pressure.
I can probably block seven sharp-blade mantises at the same time by myself. After all, we at Prajna Mountain are good at defense and counterattack.
If you can hold off the remaining three Blade Mantises for me, we can get through.
After all, although the attack power of this kind of monster is strong, it is still inferior to me in realm. As long as I can withstand their attacks, I will definitely find an opportunity to launch a fatal blow to them.
The Sharp Blade Mantis is strong in attack but weak in defense, and its physical strength is barely at the level of the early gestation period. As long as we can block their first wave of attack, I will seize the opportunity to launch an attack using the secret method of the Arhats and Pratyekabuddhas.
Judging from my attack power, these blade mantises should not be able to withstand a few attacks. We will be able to break away from their siege quickly and kill them. "
Hearing Xiunian's words, Ye Li's heart moved. It didn't seem too difficult for him.
Xiunian blocked seven sharp-blade mantises by himself. He only had to fend off the attacks of three of them. Seriously speaking, this was actually a very simple task.
Seeing Ye Li thinking, Xiu Nian thought that Ye Li was in a dilemma, so she quickly said: "Junior Brother Ye Li, you don't have to block the three sharp blade mantises. You can run away and defend at the same time. Just make sure you won't be knocked down in a short time.
I'll try to get rid of them as quickly as possible, and then I'll come help you, what do you say?"
Hearing Xiunian's words, Ye Li didn't hesitate any longer and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, Senior Brother Xiunian, let's do as you say."
Hearing that Ye Li finally agreed to his arrangement, Xiu Nian showed great joy on his face.
"Okay, Junior Brother Ye Li is indeed a straightforward person, then let's get closer to the nest of the sharp blade mantis first.
You have to be careful. The first attack of the sharp-edged mantis rushing out of the cave is usually very fast, so you have to be prepared to defend or escape.
We'd better speed up and rush towards their nest. If we keep moving fast, it will be easier to dodge them later."
Xiu Nian proposed to Ye Li.
After hearing this, Ye Li thought about it and then nodded. He felt that what the other party said made sense.
If they walked slowly, once they entered the area of the Blade Mantis's sprint attack, they would be hit by the first wave of crazy attacks from the opponent.
If you wait until that time to speed up to dodge or defend, it would be somewhat slow. It would be better to release the talisman in advance and run over faster. In this way, the two people who are already in motion will have a lot of advantages when changing direction to dodge.
After the two looked at each other, they both snapped their fingers and cast spells on themselves.
Ye Li still activated the Black Rock Flame Talisman and the Vermillion Bird Wings first. In order to increase his defensive ability in a one-on-many melee, he also activated the Eight Thunder Locks this time, letting eight chains surround him.
With the blockade of these chains, his defensive capabilities are much stronger than relying solely on the Wings of Suzaku and the Black Rock Flame Armor.
After casting the talisman on himself, Ye Li also secretly activated the fire-casting state, and the power of his fire talisman instantly increased fourfold.
As for Xiunian, she cast three kinds of defensive spells on herself, putting herself in a completely defensive state.
He glanced at Ye Li and said, "Junior Brother Ye, you should also activate your talisman. Even if your talisman is not of the defensive type, it can at least add some more power to the battle later."
Ye Li did not reject the other party's proposal. He quickly started up the Liuyanyan Suanlu, and the Sun-Swallowing Incarnation instantly appeared in the sky.
After thinking about it, Ye Li did not hesitate and directly integrated the power of the Sun-Swallowing Incarnation to add a set of flame armor to his body.
His action also made Xiu Nian stunned, then nodded and said: "I didn't expect that Junior Brother Ye is also a person who is proficient in defense. He can accumulate so much defensive power for himself in such a short time."
After hearing this, Ye Li did not explain that his current condition was not only about increased defense capabilities, but also increased speed and attack power.
He was not willing to reveal all his cards to the other party, as the two of them were still competitors until now.
If a potential opponent knew his full strength, Ye Li would be at a great loss if he could participate in the second round of competition.
After making all the necessary preparations, the two of them strode forward and attacked the Sharp Blade Mantis's residence.
They were all quite fast, and after they started charging, they rushed towards the opening on the opposite mountain at an extremely fast speed.
Just when they were about to reach the opposite cave entrance, a rough sound of insects was heard, and sharp blade-like energy surged out of the cave entrance, chopping towards Ye Li and Xiu Nian.
Ye Li looked carefully and saw a group of green mantis monsters, almost two meters tall, rushing out of the cave.
These sharp blade mantises, in addition to the green light all over their bodies, have a pair of blade feet wrapped with golden energy. It is obvious that they have mastered the use of gold element spiritual energy and can use the power of gold to attack.
The green light emanating from the rushing blade mantises was exactly the power of the wind. After unleashing this power, their speed reached the limit and they turned into a group of afterimages, rushing towards the two of them.
"Junior Brother Ye Li, we must block this round of attacks, and then we can find an opportunity to counterattack. Be careful, these mantises have strong attack power, you must fully exert your defensive power!"
Xiunian reminded Ye Li beside him, as if she was afraid that Ye Li would habitually hold back when launching a defense.
After all, judging from the current situation, they can only survive a round of attacks if they burst out with all their strength, and then find an opportunity to counterattack. If they can't even survive the first round, there will be nothing they can do later.
However, just as the two of them accelerated towards the Sharp Blade Mantis and were about to dive into the group of mantises, Xiunian's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible deep smile.
