Chapter 296: Sneak Attack
Lin Xuan didn’t think too much about it. This was all he could do. He still had to depend on the decision made by the higher-ups, and even if Muxia Village agreed, the Turtle Clan might not.
One had to know that once the Eight-gate Turtle decided to form an alliance with Muxia Village, it would be an enemy to the countless ninja beast clans in the dungeon. They would see the turtle clan as traitors and attack them.
The reason why the human race could survive in this world dungeon was that they had great strength and the ability to attack and defend themselves. The second reason was that they were scattered in different places and were strong enough to form alliances and fend for themselves.
Lin Xuan continued to set off with a group of people. In fact, when they reached the waves, they had already entered the front line of the battle. It was just that the higher-ups on both sides had tried their best to control the large-scale war. As for the small-scale battles, they were somewhat left alone. However, because of the young master’s death, the small-scale friction had become more and more intense, and there was a trend of a large-scale war.
This was also the reason why Lin Xuan and the others were forcibly summoned!
The campsite was right in front of them. Everyone raised their heads and looked not far away. There were people coming and going, and everyone was busy with their own matters. They were always ready to go out and kill the enemy.
After traveling for two days and one night, they were finally reaching their destination.
However, before Lin Xuan and the rest could relax, they suddenly heard a strange yet familiar voice coming from the sky. They looked up and saw an old-looking Art Toad in a cape standing in the air, looking down at Lin Xuan and the rest with cold eyes.
Immortal Fire Escape — Oil Bomb Technique!
It opened its mouth and spat out a terrifying flame that instantly covered the surrounding area. This was not an ordinary flame, it was also wrapped in extremely flammable oil. In other words, even if the spell was stopped, these flames would not be extinguished immediately, and they could continue to burn for a long time.
Why were the new recruits getting attacked by an earth-rank Art Toad?
Was the Art Toad bored? Of course, the most important thing now was not to figure out why it had attacked their support team. The terrifyingly high-temperature flames mixed with oil had already sprayed down!
At this moment, Lin Xuan was undoubtedly a poor man in the face of the earth-rank Art Toad’s fire. All he could do was activate his Fire Crow Crown patterns to protect himself. In an instant, golden flames decorated his body.
After activating the Fire Crow Crown, Lin Xuan’s affinity with fire and light rose sharply. Elemental affinity determines elemental affinity and elemental resistance. Needless to say, elemental affinity was the favorite and most important element for elemental mages, while elemental resistance was something that many people did not know about.
However, an example would make things clear. The Fire God’s body represented the highest elemental affinity with fire. Fire could be summoned and dispelled at will. However, the Fire God’s body had another very important point that was also very easy to ignore — fire elemental damage immunity!
The Fire Crow Crown gave Lin Xuan an elemental affinity that was not inferior to the Fire God’s body. Unfortunately, the Art Toad was an earth-rank powerhouse, and there was a rank suppression that could forcibly cause damage. Lin Xuan’s own magic resistance armor was thick, and he had an endless stream of life force to replenish it, so his life was not in danger for the time being.
However, the reason why the Art Toad used the fire technique first was to find the Art Toad killer. Following the prophecy, if one fire technique was used and there was still one person left alive. This person must be the Art Toad killer in the prophecy!
“What’s going on?!”
“Help!”
The incident was sudden, and the base camp was close to the peninsula of waves. Many top earth-rank powerhouses were busy defending themselves further away. They didn’t expect an Art Toad to ambush them.
With a sun spear in his hand, the Star Conqueror streaked across the sky like a meteorite and rushed straight at the Art Toad. Although he didn’t know why the Art Toad wanted to kill a mystic-rank ability user, it didn’t stop him from stopping the Art Toad. Moreover, the person below was a Taixia citizen, and he should save him!
An ominous glint flashed in the Art Toad’s eyes. It really wanted to kill the toad killer’ in the big Art Toad’s prophecy. However, this terrifying expert from Muxia Village could probably heavily injure it with a single spear strike. It was afraid!
Unfortunately, he could not kill Lin Xuan in one hit. He could still attack Lin Xuan from a long distance. Furthermore, Lin Xuan was slowly getting weaker from the flames.
Immortal Wind Escape — Breaking Jade!
The Art Toad aimed at Lin Xuan and blew out several air bullets with terrifying destructive power.
The Star Conqeurer’s face was gloomy, but he had to stop chasing the toad. He waved the sun spear in his hand and broke the jades one by one. Then he looked up at the Art Toad, only to find that he had disappeared.
“Save the mystic-ranks first, I’ll go after him!”
A gust of wind blew past and left a message for Star Conqueror. He forced a smile on his face and said, “Okay, I’ll leave it to you!”
Lin Xuan’s aura was getting weaker and weaker, he did not dare to delay any longer. The sun spear in his hand shattered and drew in the power of the bright moon, turning it into a bright yellow spear. Then, he threw it at Lin Xuan with great force.
The moon spear pierced through Lin Xuan and turned into an endless healing power. The luminous moon power turned into thin threads and wrapped Lin Xuan up tightly, finally turning into a huge cocoon of light.
From the campsite in the distance, many people rushed over and saw that the ground was in ruins. Many places were still burning, and the smell was pungent.
The Star Conqueror fell from the sky with a gloomy face. “That was an earth-rank Art Toad from Wood Mountain who sneaked in. Hehe, this time, they’ll have to fight even if they don’t want to!”
