Chapter 313 - 313: Fight to the Death? An Uncorrected Mistake Gets Worse Over Time
The soldiers of both sides stood opposite each other. The lineup was almost identical, but the state of the soldiers could be said to be worlds apart.
After a series of fierce battles, Wang Xiao’s soldiers were already on the verge of overdrafting their stamina and energy.
Not only were the mirrored soldiers of the Lang brothers in their peak state, but they also had a level two platinum [Nine Head Taotie]. Even if they did not attack, their aura alone was enough to crush Wang Xiao and the others!
As if feeling that victory was in his grasp, Lang Buli projected the mirror soldiers and was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he crossed his arms and looked at Wang Xiao and the other party from afar, as if he wanted to see how they planned on struggling.
On the other side, Wang Xiao and Qi Lianjun also did not move. Under this despairing difference in strength, their expressions were unprecedentedly ugly.
“What do we do?”
Qi Lianjun frowned and asked softly, “Our current soldiers are all exhausted. Why don’t you summon some new mutated beasts?”
“Didn’t I say just now? I’ve already used all my trump cards.”
As Wang Xiao spoke, he tried to summon the Blazing Golden Crow. As expected, there was no reaction. Then, he replied in a low voice with a bitter expression, “I still have 9,000 [Shadow Golden Thorn Spiders], but even if I summon them, they’ll probably be mirrored by the other party.”
Qi Lianjun’s heart sank. “We can’t just do nothing, right? Can your mutated beast still hold on?”
Wang Xiao opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, a buzzing sound that only he could hear suddenly sounded in his ears. It meant that the time limit for the [Holy Beast Totem] was up.
This sudden situation made Wang Xiao’s expression even uglier.
Previously, when the [Blazing Golden Crow] hid back in the territory, the mutated beasts had already lost the enhancement of the [Phoenix Power]. The enhancement directly decreased from 15 times to five times from the [Holy Beast Totem].
Now that the [Holy Beast Totem] had begun to lose its effect, the remaining 500% increase had also disappeared. The strength of the mutated beasts was already dropping fell like a cliff again!
However, the decline in the strength of Wang Xiao’s soldiers did not affect the mirror soldiers projected by Lang Buli. Every mutated beast was still in its peak state with the enhancement of the [Holy Beast Totem]!
The difference in strength widened again. This time, even Wang Xiao could not help but begin to despair.
After a moment of silence, Wang Xiao smiled bitterly at Qi Lianjun. “Adjutant Qi, we might not be able to hold on…”
Qi Lianjun had already expected this outcome, but when he really heard this, he could not help but be shocked.
However, Qi Lianjun was an elite in the army after all. He was only stunned for a moment before quickly adjusting his mentality. He raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a strange smile. “In that case, should we go all out?”
“Go all out?”
Wang Xiao was stunned for a moment before smiling comfortably. “That’s right. We can do whatever we want now.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled. After truly realizing that they were in a desperate situation, their mentality became relaxed, or rather, they had given up.
Since they were going to die anyway, what was the point of thinking so much?
After drinking a [Recovery Potion] to replenish his energy, Wang Xiao stretched his shoulders and chuckled. “Adjutant Qi, it’s my honor to be able to fight alongside you.”
“It’s also my honor.”
Qi Lianjun smiled and nodded. Then, the expressions of the two of them turned cold at the same time. The soldiers who were already at the end of their rope roared angrily and rushed towards the enemy soldiers fearlessly!
“Oh? You’re still not giving up?”
Lang Buli raised his eyebrows in surprise. He raised his right hand and waved it gently. “Tear them apart!”
“Roar! ”
The mirrored soldiers roared and charged forward. A world-shaking battle was about to begin again!
Wang Xiao and Qi Lianjun were already determined to die. Unfortunately, “determination” could not create miracles every time.
The lineup of the soldiers on both sides was almost identical. The battle started and it was soldiers against soldiers. All the mutated beasts directly fought with their mirror images!
As for the [Nine Head Taotie], it spewed out black smoke and split into nine elite soldiers that wandered on the battlefield. However, in fact, even without these elite soldier, Wang Xiao’s soldiers were still not a match for those mirrored soldiers.
One’s greatest enemy was oneself. This sentence was really true.
For example, the combat habits of the mirrored soldier were exactly the same as the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf]. All their feints and attacks would be instantly seen through by the other party.
In this way, even if both sides were at their peak, it would probably be very difficult to determine the winner, let alone now when the real [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] was already running out of stamina and energy.
In less than half a minute, the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] was defeated. First, its retreat was sealed by the two [Nine Head Taoties]. Finally, it was hit in the chest by its clone with [Berserk Thunder] and shattered on the spot!
A minute later, the [Silver Shadow Leopard] and the [Raging Lava Bear] were also defeated one after another. Other than the [Gold Armor Black Turtle] struggling to hold on with [Absolute Defense], only the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] was still entangled with its mirror image projection in the air.
The attacks of the mutated beasts on the ground couldn’t really reach the air. Due to this, the Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon encountered a relatively fair battle.
With its agile movements and extremely strong combat awareness, the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] could actually fight back and forth with its mirrored soldier in a state of low stamina and energy exhaustion.
However, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that as the stamina of the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] continued to be consumed, this balance would definitely be broken. Moreover, it would not take long.
Wang Xiao saw this and was anxious but helpless. This was because after those mirrored soldiers defeated their respective opponents, they had already formed a semicircle and surrounded him and Qi Lianjun.
Although they had long expected this situation, when they really saw a group of mutated beasts walking towards them with unfriendly expressions, they still could not help but feel their hearts tighten.
“Actually, we should have used our advantages and tackled their disadvantages just now.”
Qi Lianjun whispered, “If that’s the case, we should be able to delay for a while more.”
Wang Xiao knew that Qi Lianjun was trying to ease his nervousness, but he still could not help but roll his eyes. “Thank you for your reminder. I’ll definitely pay attention in my next life.”
Qi Lianjun chuckled, but his laughter sounded bitter.
As they spoke, the group of mirrored soldiers had already arrived in front of them and finally stopped ten steps away.
The mirrored [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] took a few steps forward and looked down at the two of them. There was no emotion in its ice-blue eyes.
Wang Xiao also looked up at the mirror image of the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf].
This was the first mutated beast he had subdued. Although he knew that the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] in front of him was only a mirror image projection, he actually felt a sense of familiarity when he looked at its ice-blue eyes.
Wang Xiao smiled at the mirror image of the Ice Thunder Horn Wolf. “On account of knowing each other for so long, don’t let me die in too much pain.”
The mirror image [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] snorted and slowly raised its furry claws.. Just as it was about to attack, a bolt of lightning suddenly blasted in front of it and sent its huge body flying!
