"Illusionary beast!"
Archimedes gave Ji Feng a questioning look, meaning to ask if he should act immediately. The monsoon shook his head slightly, and Archimedes did not say anything else. His attention was all on the carriage in front of him.
Ji Feng turned around and saw that Di Fu had no intention of leaving. Of course, he knew Di Fu was waiting for them to get up there. If they made any movements, Di Fu would definitely force them up there.
The carriage was very wide, and judging from the outline, the interior was at least ten square meters. It was not a disaster, it was a disaster that couldn't be avoided. Since they were already here, Ji Feng simply opened the door of the carriage and stepped on it. Inside the carriage, besides the masked woman, there was also a monkey with red eyes and full of black fur. He said it was a monkey only because it looked like a monkey and not a real one. However, Ji Feng did not know the real name of this animal, so he might as well call it monkey. Other than that, the other four people who had gone up earlier were nowhere to be seen. Ji Feng knew that he wasn't seeing things, especially when the two people who came up for the second time saw it with his own eyes.
"Why do you keep staring at this?"
The woman's voice was crisp and pleasant to the ears. Both Ji Feng and Archimedes felt the same way. The two of them looked at each other again, and they could see the amazement in each other's eyes. If one were to just listen to her voice, one wouldn't even know that she was an evil cultivator. Ji Feng had a feeling that there was something in this woman's voice that made him want to get close to her. He immediately became alert and turned to look at Archimedes again. His eyes were fixed on the masked woman, and they were no longer as clear as they had been before.
He immediately said in a loud voice, "We are on night watch, so naturally we have to look around. Not only here, but as long as it's within our line of sight, we will also be watching."
Archimedes' eyes immediately returned to normal. He was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to understand something. He was confused, but then he felt grateful towards Ji Feng. However, his face did not show it.
As for the masked Holy Maiden, no one knew what she was thinking, or whether there was any change in her expression.
The crisp voice sounded again, "Come up."
Now that he was here, Ji Feng wanted to see what would happen, so he stepped into the carriage, followed by Archimedes. As soon as he got up, the door of the carriage closed.
"How should I address this person?"
By this time, Ji Feng had completely let go of Ji Feng. Moreover, he had already secretly made preparations for battle. However, he didn't secretly wrap his spiritual force around the fire element. If he did, it would definitely be discovered. He could clearly sense that this woman was a high-ranking cultivator, not one bit inferior to the Ocott at Hobbit House, but not as much as the Ocott who had occupied the skeleton in the plan to make the god. Even so, Ji Feng did not dare to underestimate him. The reason why he could destroy Ocott's body was all because he was caught off guard, not because his strength had truly reached such a stage.
"You don't need to know, because from the moment you saw me, you were already dead." While the Holy Maiden was speaking, the monkey beside her suddenly started moving and charged towards Ji Feng.
Ji Feng, who was secretly on guard the whole time, predicted that there would be a battle, but he didn't expect that it would be Monkey who would attack him. He obviously knew that this woman was disdainful to attack them.
The monkey jumped up from its seat and stared at him with its red eyes. Its mouth opened at the same time and got bigger and bigger. Its head seemed to have disappeared, leaving only its big mouth.
"Shadow!" Archimedes' exclamation came from behind.
In fact, the monsoon had also learned the name of the beast from the memories of Paulnan, the phantom Archimedes had spoken of. The shadow couldn't actually be considered a magical beast, but a vicious beast from who knows where. The phantasm's method of attack was very simple, it could directly devour the opponent. Legends said that the adult Phantom Beast could swallow the shadow, and that he could also hide in the shadow. The existence of the devoured shadow would gradually decline, and in the end, it could not avoid the fate of being devoured. At this time, Ji Feng finally realized why he didn't see the four of them when he saw them coming up. So it was swallowed by the Phantom Shadow Beast. Looking at the shadow beasts charging towards him, Ji Feng could not help but think of the legendary beasts of China on Earth, Taotie. This was also a beast with the ability to devour. The only difference was that the Taotie ate everything while the Phantom Beast could only devour fresh life.
Archimedes wanted to help out with the monsoon, but he was standing behind it. Although the space here was about ten square meters, it was still a little small for fighting. Moreover, there were some decorations here that took up some of the space. He could only watch as the big mouth of the Phantom Beast approached Ji Feng.
At this moment, Ji Feng, of course, immediately took action. He felt that the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth on the carriage was being repelled, while the darkness elements on the other side were not affected at all. Compared to the elemental powers in the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, Ji Feng preferred to use the powers of the dark elements. Of course he knew that the reason why the little fireball he released using the fire element from the heaven and earth wasn't as powerful as the fire element wasn't because the light element was weaker than the dark element, but because he couldn't find a way. The most likely reason was that the spirit energy within the soul orb had changed, and the spirit energy inside was closer to the darkness.
Three small, colorless fireballs flew towards the shadow beast's abdomen in succession. He did not attack the shadow beast's growing maw. He was afraid of being devoured. Only a shadow beast the size of a normal monkey could devour a living being that was several times larger than its body, meaning that its body had another universe within it.
Of course, Ji Feng would not let the Holy Maiden go, he also gave her two small fireballs condensed from the dark fire element.
At the same time, Ji Feng shouted, "Open the door!"
Although Archimedes was a senior swordsman, he could not feel the fireballs released by the monsoon. Hearing the sound of the monsoon, he immediately turned around to open the door.
Holy Maiden Red Pink's strength was beyond Ji Feng's expectations. A large shield suddenly appeared in her hand, blocking the two small fireballs. However, the Phantom Shadow Beast that was wholeheartedly devouring Ji Feng would not be so lucky. Its abdomen was directly hit by three fireballs the size of pearls. Immediately, three small holes appeared in its abdomen and three fireballs entered its abdomen. The Phantom Shadow Beast, whose mouth was wide open to the point where it could swallow Ji Feng, instantly closed its mouth due to the pain. At the same time, it let out a muffled scream.
Seeing the Holy Maiden Red Pink suddenly take out her shield, Ji Feng knew that something bad was going to happen. In order to not be held up, he threw another two fireballs at the Holy Maiden Red Pink. These two little fireballs respectively attacked the head and feet of the Holy Maiden, but no matter how he looked at her, this Holy Maiden didn't seem like a martial artist. He wanted to make the other party flustered. At this moment, Archimedes had already pulled the carriage apart and was jumping down.
Just as Ji Feng had expected, the Holy Maiden Red Pink was somewhat flustered by his two fireballs. In the end, she chose to avoid the fireballs flying towards her head and used the shield in her hand to block the fireballs. The material of her shield was not bad. Even the fire element couldn't leave a mark on it.
When Archimedes stepped down, Ji Feng took half a step back before he turned around and jumped down. After the two jumped down, they immediately ran towards the east.
Knowing that it was impossible to run away on two legs alone, Monsoon and Archimedes ran in the direction of the horses. The two of them had only run five or six steps when the Holy Maiden's voice rang out in the silent night, "Capture them!"
The mages and warriors who were in charge of the night watch immediately began to move. They began to chant in a chaotic manner, followed by the sound of footsteps. Monsoon and Archimedes had to speed up. All the two of them could do was to speed up their escape.
They were not far from where the horses were. The horses were together with the tamed beasts. There were two warriors outside the temporary stable. When they saw Ji Feng and Archimedes rushing towards them, they yelled and stopped, at the same time raising their weapons.
Archimedes waved his broadsword towards one of them, and the wind immediately released a small black fireball and hit the other person on the knee. That person immediately fell to the ground, and at the same time, as he threw away his weapon, the warrior's injured knee cried out miserably.
Ji Feng didn't pay any attention to him. He walked past Ji Feng and pulled open the gate. Then, he casually took out two horses and left. When he came out, Archimedes had already finished his opponent and was rushing over. Even though he was curious about Ji Feng's methods to make his opponent lose their combat ability, he did not express anything. Right now, the most important thing was to escape. After a short delay, he would be stopped.
Archimedes took the reins from the horse and jumped onto his horse. He shook the reins and rushed towards the east. The wind was one body ahead of his horse.
Because of how sudden this event was, the martial artists and mages that had been alerted by the Holy Maiden Red Pink and Liu Ming had already run dozens of meters away by the time they caught up. The archers immediately nocked their bows and fired at the gradually disappearing monsoon and Archimedes. The slightly behind Archimedes immediately brandished his greatsword to strike the arrows that were shooting towards him. Ji Feng was also focusing his attention on the arrows flying towards him. At the same time, he urged the horse under his butt to dodge in advance. Later, he realized that the difficulty of this action was quite high. If it was him, it wouldn't be a problem, but it would be very difficult for this temporary horse to perfectly coordinate with him. So much so that an arrow was stuck in the horse's rump. The pained horse immediately began to gallop wildly, pulling further away from Archimedes.
At this time, many people had already mounted their horses and magical beasts, and were chasing after them. Archimedes did not dare to delay. He pushed aside an arrow with his broadsword and patted the horse on its butt. The horse in pain immediately increased its speed.
DeFu did not chase after Ji Feng and Archimedes. After giving the order to chase them, he hurriedly ran towards the horse carriage with the Holy Maiden Red Pink. When he arrived in front of the carriage, he saw that the carriage door was open. Her eyes were very special, they were pink in color, and as long as one looked into them, their mind would be drawn in, and those without great willpower would not be able to withdraw.
Naturally, Di Fu knew that the Holy Maiden's eyes couldn't be seen. He stood obediently by the door of the carriage and respectfully asked, "Holy Maiden, what did those two brats do?"
Although he did not dare to look into the eyes of the Holy Maiden, it did not mean that he did not dare to look into the shadow beast. From the corner of his eyes, he immediately saw the dying shadow beast on the ground, and his heart was filled with shock. He knew about the power of the illusory beasts, but he didn't dare to say it out loud as he knew that only high-ranked cultivators would know about it. No matter how those two people looked at it, they were both low-level cultivators. They had no idea what kind of weapon they used to injure the Phantom Beast to this extent.
Seeing Di Fu, the Holy Maiden immediately said, "When we capture those two people, send them over. I want them to know that sometimes death is also a happy thing!"
Hearing the cold tone in the Holy Maiden's voice, Di Fu couldn't help but shiver. If there wasn't a way out, he wouldn't even want to stay here for a second longer. Thus, he said, "I'll send more people to deliver them to you."
The Holy Maiden Red Pink didn't say anything, but Di Fu understood what she meant. After saluting, he turned around and left.
Looking at the back of the carriage, the Holy Maiden stood up and locked the carriage's door. Then, she began to take off her clothes. Inside the mage robe was a vacuum, and a perfect body was revealed. Immediately after, she took out a short sword and cut open the belly of the Phantom Beast on the ground. The dying Phantom Beast suddenly opened its eyes and stared straight at the Holy Maiden Red Pink. He only saw the Holy Maiden's short sword draw an equally long wound on her abdomen before she used her fastest speed to press her body against the illusory beast's body.
This was the border between the two races. Not only were there no crops, there were no trees. Along the way, there were a few crooked trees as thick as a person's arm and a few flowers and plants. More gravel. The footprints of war horses and magical beasts could be seen on the gravel.
The two of them rode horses that were used to pull carriages. They were not war horses, nor were they speed type horses. The speed he had shown earlier was entirely due to the pain. Now that his emotions had passed, his speed naturally slowed down. Monsoon and Archimedes had to give them pain, and Archimedes simply slapped the horse's rump with his broadsword, which the monsoon thrust straight into half of the horse's rump. Therefore, the horse he was riding whinnied and started to run.
Sensing the approaching troops, Archimedes muttered to himself as he watched the monsoon and the bloodstains on the ground draw further and further away from him, "Damn, this works too!"
Although he said that, he was still using the tip of his broadsword to poke at the horse's butt.
The pursuers' horses and magical beasts were all used for battle, so their speed was naturally incomparable to the horses pulling the carriage underneath the buttocks of Ji Feng and Archimedes. Even though the two of them had already used an extreme method, the distance between the two sides still continued to close.
Although his butt had been stabbed twice, the horse had done its best to slow down, and because it had bled, it fell to the ground. Ji Feng had already jumped down. The situation with Archimedes was similar. When he felt the horse slowing down, he jumped down in advance. The two men on the ground didn't have any intention of running forward. They weren't strong enough to rely on their own strength to surpass the horses and magical beasts. There were a total of fourteen people, and they were all warriors.
Ji Feng and Archimedes were already standing together. Both of them were holding greatswords in their hands, and the tips of the swords were stained with blood.
"Brother, are you confident you can kill them?"
The one who spoke was Archimedes. If he had just met Ji Feng, he would never have asked such a question. However, after seeing Ji Feng deal with the Phantom Shadow Beast and the Holy Maiden Red Pink, he realized that he could not see through Ji Feng.
"A little."
"You must display your divine might. I can only deal with two at most. Moreover, there are a few among them who are stronger than me."
"Leave it to me. Who asked me to be the elder brother?"
Seeing that there was no nervousness on Ji Feng's face, Archimedes' heart calmed down. He said, "Big brother, what do you think the Andura Caravan Caravan is really for?"
"It's probably some evil cultivation organization."
"Brother, are you a mage or a warrior?" Archimedes asked the question at the bottom of his heart.
"I'm a dual cultivation of magic and martial arts. Hehe ?"
While they were talking, the pursuers had arrived. The three people who arrived had already jumped down from their horses, and rushed over to Ji Feng and Archimedes.
Archimedes raised his broadsword and was about to charge forward when Monsoon said, "Let me do it."
Archimedes wanted to see what the monsoon was up to, too, so he stopped and took a step back. On the other hand, Ji Feng took a big step forward without stopping. He took three steps in a row before he suddenly stopped. He had already used his spiritual force to form three small dark fireballs.
Because his mental energy was strong enough, the small fireball he condensed was formed in front of the three of them. When the small fireball appeared, the three of them didn't even notice. By the time they noticed it, the little fireball had already arrived in front of them. The attacking areas of Ji Feng's body were all his lower abdomen, which was the hardest part for him to dodge. If he attacked the throat, as long as he saw the opportunity early, he could avoid it by tilting his head.
Two of the three people noticed that the fireballs had touched their clothes, but it was too late. One of them let out a blood-curdling scream, and the other two, while holding back their screams, had sold them out with bean-sized beads of sweat and ugly expressions.
Facing them, Ji Feng naturally wouldn't be lenient. He followed up with another three small fireballs, this time targeting their throats. Because of the pain, this time, the three of them didn't sense it. As a result, a small hole appeared in their throats and they fell to the ground.
Archimedes was shocked by this scene. All this time, he had always thought that Monsoon was only a low-level cultivator, but he did not expect that he would continuously display techniques beyond his imagination.
Even though he was very close to Ji Feng, he could not clearly see how Ji Feng did it. As for his curiosity, shock filled his heart. He subconsciously assumed that Ji Feng was a high-level cultivator who was hiding his cultivation base. The cultivation base he was displaying was simply too deceptive. He didn't know it was him, so there must be a lot of other people who were deceived by his appearance. Archimedes was also a person of some status. Even though this was the first time he went on a long journey, when he was at home, he already knew the hungry experts of the continent like the back of his hand. However, there was nothing in his mind that could be merged with the monsoon. This was the first time Meng Hao had ever heard of the name Ji Feng.
Another four people arrived not far from the two. Just like the three people in front of them, they too jumped down from their mounts, brandishing their weapons as they rushed towards Ji Feng and Archimedes. The later the cultivation, the lower their cultivation. Compared to the other three, the four's cultivation bases were much lower. Their fate was the same as the other three, a hole appearing in their stomachs and a hole appearing in their throats. With the help of his dense Mental Energy, Ji Feng gathered a fireball in front of his opponent and then controlled the fireball to launch a sudden attack at an extremely fast speed. This kind of attack was hard to defend against, completely overturning the battle tactics of this world. Being able to fight above one's rank was no longer an illusion. However, this method of fighting was too harsh on cultivators. Only a freak like Ji Feng would be able to do this.
Archimedes did not see Ji Feng take action. He had already killed half of the fourteen people that came chasing him. His mood immediately became good. He said with a slobbering face, "Big brother, what method are you using? Can I learn it?"
"This is instant magic, you're just a fighter." Archimedes could hear what Ji Feng had not said, and a look of disappointment appeared on his face.
Ji Feng looked at him and said, "Even if you are a mage, the possibility of learning it is not high."
"Why?"
"This type of attack requires a lot of Spirit power. I only have such strong Spirit power because of luck, so that means this fighting method is unique to me."
Hearing Ji Feng's words, Archimedes immediately felt much better.
This time, the seven of them came at almost the same time. The two slower ones weren't too far away from them. Compared to the seven in front of them, these seven people's cultivation were much weaker.
Archimedes said, "Brother, leave me two so I can enjoy myself."
"As you wish."
As Ji Feng was talking, he looked at the seven people approaching at the same time. The seven of them saw the corpse of their comrade from far away and subconsciously stopped moving. Then, thinking of the punishment of not completing the mission and returning, he steeled his heart. However, the corpses on the ground had already left a shadow in their hearts. Not only did they not dismount, they waited for the two people behind to catch up before they moved out together. Ji Feng did not have the time to waste on them. He took four steps forward and released five fireballs. The reason he did this was to conserve his mental energy. At the same time, it was also to make his attack more unexpected.
Inside the carriage, the Holy Maiden had already returned to her seat. Before she could put on her clothes, the Phantom Beast had already disappeared. If someone was here, they would see that a palm-sized tattoo had appeared on the face of the Holy Maiden Red Pink. If they looked closely, it wasn't hard to see that the tattoo was actually an illusory beast.
Only, the Phantom Beast looked very listless, its eyelids drooping. The Holy Maiden with her perfect body exposed in the carriage also had an ugly expression on her face. To be exact, her face was pale, pale from excessive blood loss.
A few moments later, she suddenly opened her eyes, and the pink in her eyes became even more bewitching. Her face blushed a little. She picked up the mage robe on the seat and put it on, then opened the door of the carriage and jumped out.
