With Long Amber's arrangement, Long Xiao and the other four immediately followed Yang Qi to the left wing of the team. The other practitioners also began to stand in their assigned positions, and soon everything was ready.
Yang Qi glanced at the many practitioners around him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "I wonder how many practitioners will succeed in the end."
Even though there are more than a thousand practitioners present, only a very small number can succeed in the end. The descendants of large branches know that they are creating opportunities for the top monsters in the family, while those branches with less power don't even know that they are cannon fodder.
Although Yang Qi sympathized with these practitioners, he also understood that this was not something he could change. If the strong ones were evenly distributed among the team, although the strength of each area would be enhanced, the speed of advancement would inevitably be greatly reduced, and in the end no one would be able to get in.
"Set off!"
At this moment, Long Teng's voice rang in everyone's ears.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
As Long Teng's voice fell, a series of human figures flew towards the source of the abnormal movement in the Blood Demon Sea, like a giant ship.
As everyone went deeper, they noticed that the movements of the Blood Demon Sea were getting weaker and weaker, and it seemed that it might disappear at any time.
Boom! Boom!
The sea surface not far away exploded, and huge magic dragons rushed out from the sea. In just a blink of an eye, hundreds of magic dragons rushed out. This is not the edge of the Blood Demon Sea. The weakest magic dragon has the strength of an eight-star Martial Emperor.
“No wonder the major branches made such arrangements.” Looking at the hundreds of huge figures that were coming to kill them, Yang Qi understood in his heart that it was not that those branches did not want to bring more people into the deepest part of the Blood Demon Sea, but that they simply could not do it.
These hundreds of eight-star Martial Emperor-level magic dragons were nothing to the entire team, but if it weren't for the nine-star Martial Emperor-level practitioners like them, these hundreds of magic dragons alone would probably have slightly slowed down the speed of the seven- and eight-star Martial Emperor-level practitioners. And this was only the first wave of magic dragons they encountered on their way to the deepest part of the Blood Demon Sea.
"rush!"
Long Teng's cold shout exploded in everyone's ears, and the cultivators at the front of the cone-shaped team instantly collided with the charging demon dragons, just like the tip of a ship hitting a huge block of ice.
Boom! Boom!
Loud noises continued to be heard from the front of the team. As they continued to charge, the battle instantly spread to both wings. Although there were many magic dragons, the cultivators responsible for clearing the way were all cultivators at the level of nine-star martial emperors. As soon as the magic dragons came into contact with the cultivators' team, they were directly shaken away.
The magic dragons were constantly blown away, but more of them kept coming out from the sea and rushing towards the group of practitioners. The group of practitioners was like a huge ship running at full speed, relying on the sharp tip of the ship to forcibly carve a path through the ice.
Whoosh~
Yang Qi moved his hand, and a sharp black sword light burst out from his hand, instantly knocking away the two eight-star Martial Emperor-level late-stage demon dragons that were attacking him.
As the team continued to advance, nine-star Martial Emperor-level beings began to appear among the magic dragons, but they were basically concentrated at the front of the team and had not yet spread to the area where Yang Qi was.
Yang Qi glanced at the cultivators at the center of the team, and a thought flashed through his mind, "Now the entire team has entered the group of magic dragons, and even the cultivators in the back have begun to be attacked by the magic dragons. But this is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome thing is the magic dragons under the sea!"
When Yang Qi and his team encountered the magic spring, there were only six teams going together, but the center of the team was attacked by the magic dragon from the bottom of the sea. Now the team is dozens of times larger than before, and the area occupied by the team is also dozens of times larger, which means that the chances of them being attacked by the magic dragon in the sea have also increased dozens of times.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard in the team, followed by several figures being knocked away, and a huge magic dragon appeared at the back of the team.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
Seeing the magic dragon suddenly appearing in the team, the cultivator who came to his senses immediately launched an attack. In an instant, the attacks poured towards the magic dragon.
Boom! Boom!
But before the cultivators' attacks could hit the demon dragon, the sea surface exploded again, and several more demon dragons rushed out from the bottom of the sea, instantly tearing off a piece of the huge team.
The group of practitioners who broke away from the main force not only faced the pursuit of the magic dragons behind them, but also the obstruction of the magic dragons in front of them, and they were unable to break through for a while. This group of practitioners could not break through, but the main force would not stop because of them. In a blink of an eye, this group of practitioners pulled away from the main force, and the number of magic dragons blocking them in front of them also increased rapidly.
Seeing that it was difficult to catch up with the main force, if they continued to forcefully chase, they would probably be besieged by the demon dragons. An eight-star martial emperor from a powerful branch immediately shouted, "Retreat, retreat!"
After hearing this, although everyone was unwilling, they had no choice but to quickly evacuate in the direction of the team's original flank. After all, in this situation, they no longer had any chance, and staying would put their lives in danger.
"Nearly a hundred practitioners failed just like that!"
Looking at the practitioners who chose to evacuate, Yang Qi sighed in his heart. With a large army attracting a large number of magic dragons, as long as they don't take the risk of trying to enter the deepest part of the Blood Demon Sea, it won't be too dangerous.
A piece of the large army was torn apart, and the practitioners in the rear quickly retreated to fill it up, otherwise the place would have been occupied by the killing magic dragon, and the practitioners in the rear would have been in even greater danger.
There were more and more Nine-star Martial Emperor-level demon dragons, but they did not cause much impact on the practitioners who were clearing the way. Instead, the practitioners in the middle and rear were torn off by demon dragons from the bottom of the sea from time to time, with dozens of people at least and hundreds of people at most. The demon dragons that came out from the bottom of the sea were not always successful. Sometimes they happened to rush into the center of the team and were overwhelmed by the attacks of many practitioners in the blink of an eye, and eventually no one was left.
However, the number of the magic dragons was obviously greater than that of the cultivators. They were like hungry wolves, constantly biting their prey. Although the bites made each time were not big, they accumulated over time and the team soon lost about one third of its members.
Yang Qi looked at the shrinking army and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Now there are more and more Nine-Star Martial Emperor-level demon dragons, but the strength of the team is weakening. Although the practitioners responsible for clearing the way have not suffered any losses, the speed and number of practitioners in the middle and rear are increasing rapidly."
At the beginning, the magic dragons that attacked the practitioners were not strong, and unless they reached a certain number, the impact was not too great. But now the magic dragons have become stronger, and two or three magic dragons can often stop a group of practitioners. If they are lucky, they can bypass them, but if they are unlucky, they can only watch as they distance themselves from the main force. (To be continued)
