Chapter 439: First Team VS Big Trees (1/2)

The disciples already knew the drill, and what to expect on the outside, so they were more than prepared for the next hit and run.

Even the ones who just came along had already heard the details from their friends, so they were all more than prepared for what awaited them outside.

As for Tianlong Yun, he just gave them one last look around, and then immediately after teleported himself and all of them to the outside.

Just like the first time, the moment they appeared outside was pitch black, and the disciples weren't even able to look at their own bodies, lips, or nose.

But that was only for a short period of time, in fact, it was only for a moment, as the next moment their sight was returned as bubble lights started appearing in the darkness.

It was like a small show of lights, as darkness still prevailed over the place. In fact, not even more than half a foot away from them the place was totally dark.

This was just a show of how big the pressure was on this environment that they were in. anyone else who didn't have Tianlong Yun's resources would have a mental breakdown, even if the forest didn't kill them.

Anyway, the disciples had already experienced this previously, so it didn't really bother them much, as they immediately jumped in action.

The bubbles started spreading all over the place, as each team was trying to keep a distance from the others, as they started fighting against the trees that fell in their areas.

Differently from the first time though, everything was simpler and easier as they now had experience fighting against them.

This time their strategy was better, and their attacks and motions were swifter and better flowing. In no time they were able to start the fight and gain their first trophies.

If the first time they needed more than 20 minutes at least to deal with one tree, this time all the groups were able to take down their targets in 10 to 15 minutes.

This alone was enough evidence of their improvement in dealing with these things, and certainly so were the hopes of Tianlong Yun getting a much better result this time.

Of course, this was just the beginning, and things had yet to start getting serious at the moment, the strongest opponent was those weaklings yet.

The true danger had yet to surface, as there was no sign of those bigger ones at the moment, but they wouldn't appear at the end again.

Most certainly the danger was close, and it would show up in front of them soon enough, and truly test their skills and strength.

At the moment though his attention was concentrated somewhere else, at the team that had gone through the Soul Cultivation enhancement.

These guys were the spearhead of all the groups, as they were clearly leading the race and the attack.

At first, it was a bit difficult for them to adapt to their new potential, and their coordination, as it was a bit difficult now that everyone seemed to have hastened quite a bit.

In fact, their speed was the same, it was just their procession speed, and reaction speed that had increased quite a bit.

Even though they still run with the same speed as a day ago, the world was moving slower in their eyes, they were able to see everything happen at a slower tempo.

For that reason, even the time they needed to deal with one of those simple trees had certainly decreased by a lot, as they could deal with one of them in 5-10 minutes.

To be more exact, they were able to deal with 2 or 3 trees at the same time as they were, and the herb roots in their hands were double or triple those of the others.

This was a clear demonstration of the difference that just this small breakthrough in soul cultivation brought to them in comparison to the people at the same level.

Perhaps this was still not very clear with their level of strength, but in higher levels of cultivations, the difference would definitely be much more obvious.

Especially to those old fogies that were in such a high stage that it was almost impossible to advance further in their Qi cultivation realm, that possibility, and increase in strength was nothing short of a dream come true.

Tianlong Yun was a bit lost on his thoughts, and considerations, when he suddenly felt the arrival of those guys that destroyed the party the first time.

Things would finally get interesting from now on, as his disciples would have to fight harder, and for real. They would have to fight with their lives on the line from now on.

Only like that would they be able to improve their skills, and strength in face of danger. No matter how much one trained during their life, only smelt of steel and fire could make them truly experienced.

The new arrivals didn't falter in the least, and as soon as they appeared they immediately entered the fray.

The one who had earned the most of the attention, and that look the tastiest in their eyes, was clearly the first team.

Those guys not only had taken down most of their friends, garnering their hate, but also their Soul Power looked the brightest, and the most powerful.

They were like a lightbulb surrounded by many candles, so it was only reasonable for the big guys to concentrate on it.

The next instant more than 60 thick vines started attacking the Formation barrier of the first team, trying to annihilate it as soon as possible.

In their view, the first team members were like some kind of crab or oyster who had a protective seashell, and as soon as they destroyed it, then there was only the edible part left.

Still the difference this time was the timing of the attack, and also the breakthrough that the members of the group had had.

If the first time it had been like a group of teenagers attacking some kids that were close to their sleeping time, this time the kids had grown into teenagers too, and they were more in number.

This development of the situation was certainly really interesting to watch, but not so interesting to be in the center of.

The first team certainly thought so, as their faces started becoming more and more solemn. Still, they didn't lose their calm, and wits.

In fact, they became even more decisive with their actions, as the attackers inside started working faster in destroying the inner enemies, while the standby group got divided into two.

5 of them immediately sat down to improve the defenses, and strengthen the formation, while the other five immediately repositioned in order to better cover the area, and spar any attack that managed to get through the barrier.

Tianlong Yun was more than satisfied with their quick decisions, and their way of acting, as this showed that they truly had good teamwork and coordination skills.

At the same time, he sent 2 Blood Guards in order to keep the situation in check and try to reduce the pressure on the first team if it went too much.

While he was planning to train them hard, through the fire, steel, and near-death experiences, he still didn't like them to die.

With what they had shown in that brief moment, he was really satisfied, and already considered them as a block worth investing in.

And if they kept showing what they showed in those moments, then they surely would have a long, and prosperous future in front of them.

But that wasn't all, the moment that the attacking squad managed to get rid of the ones inside the barrier formation, they seemed to have quickly discussed and reached an agreement with the others.

The goal was more than clear, they wanted to pull inside one of those big guys, and try their luck and skills with him.

If they had taken such a good present from their Patriarch for just collecting those 'herb roots' from the weak trees, then what would happen if they managed to the one of a ring leader.

They didn't have to think much to understand that most probably the reward they would be getting this time, would be so much better than the first.

In face of those ideas, and thoughts how could they stop, or even allow themselves to stop in front of such an opportunity?

Furthermore, just how much stronger, and more troublesome would this bigger tree be, in comparison to her skinny version of its friends.

It would certainly be difficult to pull just one of them inside their formation barrier while trying to keep the others outside, but they wanted to give it a try.

If they weren't able to make it through they only had their selves to blame. So, with the decision taken, the guys in the formation immediately redistributed the barrier's power.

At a small corner of it, the barrier started fluctuating, as finally, it disappeared, and a hole was opened in that area.

At first, it was really small, that even a frog couldn't leap through it, but it slowly started to spread wider, and wider. Going as far as becoming more than suitable for a middle-aged man to pass through it.

As soon as the trees noticed this anomaly in the formation barrier, those things immediately attacked the weak point with their vines.

As one of the big guys even started running towards that weak point. In just one instant the vines entered the opened hole and were trying to break it off.

They didn't understand what was really going on with these guys, but this was their chance…
