Things in Yuehua Cave are progressing quite smoothly.
On the Kanazawa continent, Qi Ying's job is not easy!
As Anilu said, while the hunter's team killed the metal beasts, the metal beasts also took action. They even started to ambush and used tricks to trick the hunters into pursuing them. Then a large number of metal beasts suddenly appeared and besieged them.
It shows that more and more intelligent metal beasts know the hunters' action plan.
This naturally greatly reduced the speed of the ninth team's advance.
There are metal beasts everywhere, and at some point a group of metal beasts came over to harass them. Even Qi Ying had a headache.
It is true that he can use his spiritual thoughts to detect, but he cannot keep his spiritual thoughts covering a range of hundreds of miles at all times. Moreover, the continent of Kanazawa is full of metal minerals. Some metal beasts have appeared, but they are not special. This obvious reaction made Qi Ying often find no abnormality after the spiritual sweep. The next time the spiritual sweep was completed, he found that the metal beast was only dozens of miles away from their team, so he could only fight in a hurry.
Fortunately, the ninth team is quite strong.
The metal beasts that attack basically come in batches. There are never a large number of extremely powerful metal beasts appearing at once. It is relatively easy for hunters to deal with them. After all, hunters can cooperate with each other to fight, and most of them The metal beasts can only attack without thinking, even worse than wild beasts.
The second month passed while constantly fighting against the incoming metal beasts.
Even if Qi Ying specifically told him to rush on the road first... the distance traveled in the second month would only be half of the first month, less than 300,000 miles.
Moreover, the speed has a tendency to slow down further.
"Sure enough, we have trouble even reaching Huqiu on time!" Qi Ying lamented, "Fortunately, there is only a few hundred thousand miles left."
With this short distance, Qi Ying could fly by himself and reach Huqiu in no time.
But the speed of the hunters cannot be so fast.
What's more, they still have the task of destroying all the metal beasts they encounter along the way.
At this time, the ninth team had lost a lot of manpower. More hunters died in the second month than in the first month, and there were still more than 150 people left.
Even the captain of the top level hunter lost two of them.
Qi Ying had to break up the original organization and divided the remaining nine senior hunters into three groups. Each group had three senior hunters, leading a team of about fifty people.
That is, the front, middle and back teams.
"Sha, starting from this month, you will be responsible for the safety of the front team. As the front team acts as the vanguard, they must encounter the most dangerous situations. Generally, when encountering metal beasts, they will bear the brunt. Therefore, you are here to protect the front team."
"Kinara, you and the other two chief officers are in charge of the squadron and are ready to support other fighting teams."
"I personally lead the rear team to deal with possible sneak attacks. Now that our number has been reduced, we must operate on a large scale and cannot travel in small groups privately! Those who want to hunt wild food should have a longer memory, don't want to hunt wild geese, but are caught The wild geese pecked me blindly!"
Qi Ying's words were also specially told to some people.
Just four days ago.
Kinnara took two noble hunters to chase an injured emperor metal beast alone. It turned out that it was a trap of the metal beast. When they caught up with the injured emperor metal beast, a large number of them clicked. The metal beast emerged from the ground, and only Kinnara escaped with his body. The two respected hunters were both killed in the fierce attack of the metal beast.
Others have similar situations.
Acting alone, and then fell into the trap of the metal beast.
Fortunately, Qi Ying's ability to detect the aura of metal beasts is a bit inaccurate, but his ability to detect the aura of humans is still very strong. Once any abnormal situation occurs, he will act as quickly as possible in the shortest time, and he has been rescued several times. The hunter was ambushed, otherwise there would be one hundred and twenty people left now, which would be pretty good.
"Yes, Captain!"
The team members are now very obedient to Qi Ying's orders. In the past two months, the most common situation they have encountered is that they were ambushed and surrounded on all sides, and there were powerful emperor-level metal beasts. As a result, at the most dangerous moment, the captain descended from the sky and eradicated the enemies one by one like a mortal god.
Qi Ying's image is very tall in the minds of these team members.
Even the most dissatisfied Kinnara has always been extremely respectful to Qiying, and now he obeys Qiying's words.
They knew that without Qi Ying and Sha, all of them would have died on the way to Huqiu. This also made them worry about the hunters of other teams. You must know that not every team's captain and adjutant are masters like Qiying and Sha. How many people are left in other teams now
"Attention, vanguard, there may be a group of metal beasts approaching at an angle of 32 degrees in front of you. Get ready for battle!"
Qi Ying's words had just passed through a few minutes ago.
Click!
Kara!
A large number of metal beasts emerged from the ground and fought with the front team.
There are even two emperor-level metal beasts inside, apparently trying to kill a large number of hunters in one go.
but.
The person in charge of guarding the front team was Sha Sha who even Qi Ying felt inferior to!
In less than half a quarter of an hour, the battle was completely resolved. Sha took out the metal beast cores of two emperor-level metal beasts and came to Qi Ying to exchange the remains of the powerful metal beasts.
"Sha, you are so unequivocal when it comes to killing metal beasts! In terms of the speed at which I can kill emperor-level metal beasts, I am far behind you."
Qi Ying was a little envious of Sha. If he could kill the emperor-level metal beast instantly like Sha, he would have gone outside to find a place to hook out the emperor-level metal beast. But Qi Ying also saw that Sha's powerful strength could not be maintained for a long time. His two long swords were the sharpest when they were drawn out of their scabbards, but after a while, they became sharper. In order to fall, you need to return to the scabbard and rest for a while.
"If you have the chance, let's study these two swords for real!"
While Qi Ying was sighing with emotion.
Suddenly there was a shout from the rear team: "Captain, adjutant, an emperor-level metal beast has appeared!"
There were also voices coming from the front team. It was mixed with fear: "Yes, it's an imperial metal beast! Ten, ten heads!"
"What?"
After Qi Ying's spiritual thoughts were covered, he felt incredible for the first time on the way to Huqiu - at this time, there were more than twenty emperor-level metal beasts attacking the front and rear teams, and the fragile defense was about to collapse. Can't stand it.
"Sha, you go deal with the front team, and I'll deal with the rear team!" Qi Ying immediately ordered, "Kinnara, you three chief officers continue to stand by and protect the hunters in the squadron!"
