Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 276 - Delving further


Chapter 276 – Delving further

In the next half day, he felt that he wasn’t endangered in the slightest. All the monsters were blocked on the outside.

Especially when Lan Xuanyu deliberately let him see the four black soul rings of Lan Mengqin’s Jade Phoenix Guqin, he felt even more convinced that he should divide all the gains evenly.

Lan Xuanyu’s position as the commander was as stable as Mount Tai, and Lan Mengqin had no intention of leaving either. Although she thought she would gain more if she acted alone, she actually didn’t realize that somewhere in her mind, her mentality was the same as Yuan En Huihui. It was so easy to be with a team. There was no need to be nervous at all. She just had to crowd control whenever a monster approached, and then she didn’t care about anything else.

It was not the strongest Bing Tianliang and Dong Qianqiu who attracted the most monsters, but Liu Feng. Liu Feng’s speed was really fast. For some reason, Lan Xuanyu found out that Liu Feng’s physical fitness seemed to have improved a lot. Without his own golden pattern blue silver grass, he was as quick as with it before. He was not only extremely efficient at attracting monsters, but could also last for a long time.

This made Qian Lei a little jealous, Liu Feng seemed to have made great progress ! But he on the other hand didn’t seem to have improved much. Qian Lei felt that he grew a little more non-existent.

At the beginning, he only felt relaxed, but soon he felt that if he continued like this, he would be embarrassed to get his share of the spoils.

At night, everyone took turns to rest and eat as less food as possible. Lan Xuanyu didn’t take a single bite. He just drank some water.

After a one-night of rest, everyone was basically restored to their best condition aside from being a little hungry.

Looking at the localization device, they were almost fifty kilometers deep from their starting point. During this process, they had met no other candidates. Obviously, most candidates had chosen to head in the direction of the base.

Keep going deeper ! Early in the morning, Lan Xuanyu gave the order of delving further without hesitation.

With two days remaining for the assessment, and yesterday’s experience and grinding, Lan Xuanyu increased the pace of the team.

The tactics remained the same. Attract some monsters and Yuan En Huihui as the main damage output.

Because of their increased speed of hunting, the number of monsters encountered also began to increase significantly. But Yuan En Huihui’s attack power was really ridiculous. After gathering as many monsters as possible in one place, the monsters were exterminated almost without any resistance by his fourth soul ability, Spirit Rain Tide. Only the leader of the pack was still alive. Especially after being increased by Lan Xuanyu, its lethality was terrifying.

Lan Xuanyu actually wanted to test out whether Yuan En Huihui could withstand the simultaneous buff of his two Martial Souls. If it could produce a Martial Soul Fusion technique similar to that of Dong Qianqiu, then it would really be devastating!

However, they were not in a simulation cabin after all, and he did dare to try right now. It was not a problem to wait and try later. Anyway, Yuan En Huihui really regarded him as his elder brother now.

While Lan Xuanyu was commanding everyone, he was also buffing everyone allowing them to make huge gains through each wave of monsters. Meanwhile Yuan En Huihui didn’t encounter any danger and kept idolizing him so much.

In less than half a day, they had already advanced the same distance as yesterday’s. They had killed five rounds of monsters. Among them, there were as many as seven boss-level monsters killed.

The accumulated experience had played a big role. The strongest ability of these boss-level monsters was that they could use the power of the blue sun and the purple sun to make powerful attacks. Therefore, Lan Xuanyu deliberately directed Lan Mengqin to directly use her Jade Phoenix Guqin’s Powerful Interference at the moment they were about to explode, just right at time to interrupt it. The moment when they were interrupted was also the moment when the boss rank monsters were at their weakest. At that peculiar moment, they were greeted by the powerful Thunder Spirit War Drum, Thunder Spirit Arrow, under the buff of Lan Xuanyu’s golden patterned blue silver grass.

Yuan En Huihui’s focused blow was powerful, comparable to the power of Lan Xuanyu and Dong Qianqiu’s Deep Blue Gaze. The only difference being that one was for attacking and the other for controlling.

Therefore, it could be said that this morning’s hunting was smooth and easy. Before noon, their harvest had exceeded yesterday’s.

Everyone was very satisfied with this.

Lan Xuanyu gave an order to rest. Keeping teammates in their best condition at any time was key to killing enemies with the highest efficiency in a sustainable way.

Moreover, their biggest problem now was food and water.

Soul power consumption could be recovered through meditation. The energy present in the environment here was very abundant, but physical energy consumption required a certain degree of supplementation with food and water.

The food and water they carried with them was actually only enough for a day. Yesterday, everyone only ate half of it, and there wasn’t a lot remaining already. Currently, after a whole morning of fighting, everyone was a bit hungry and dizzy.

“Eat all of the remaining food.” Lan Xuanyu said in a deep voice.

Lan Mengqin glanced at him and said, “If we eat it now, what do we do later?”

On this planet, they had also seen some fruits and plants, but who would dare to eat them? Who knows if it was poisonous! The same goes for those monsters. What if their meat was poisonous? Therefore, the only food they could eat was what they carried. The assessment was only close to half of its time. If everything was all eaten now, how would they do later?

Lan Xuanyu narrowed his eyes and said, “What we need now is to expand the spoils. From our previous battles, we can see that we should have cleared an area. This area was relatively safe. During this cleaning process, we killed with high efficiency, and that was why our harvest was so fruitful. I am absolutely sure that other candidates will definitely not benefit as much as ours. We should restore to our best condition first, and everyone should leave at least half a bottle of water. We will wait until tonight and then begin to retreat and return to the center of the previously cleaned area. Tomorrow we’ll stay there and wait for the end of the assessment. With the accumulation of the previous two days, our gains should be enough for everyone to be admitted to Shrek. And while consolidating our defense there, taking into account the previous cleaning, there should be no or few monsters we need to face, allowing us to persist. At that time, our physical energy consumption should be reduced, and it should be fine even if we don’t eat for a day.”

Lan Mengqin said: “If we kill for only two days, we could actually earn more. In fact, even if we are hungry for a day, it is not impossible to keep fighting.”

Lan Xuanyu shook his head, and said, “We can’t take risks. There is a reason why greed is known as one of the original sin. Don’t forget the teacher’s reminders. This is a battlefield, a real battlefield, a battlefield of life and death. If we make a single mistake, this could become a matter of life and death.”

Lan Mengqin was stunned, but nodded silently, “Now I finally feel that you are a qualified commander.”

Although Lan Xuanyu initially used tactics to get them to follow Yuan En Huihui to profit from him, he later brought in Yuan En Huihui, conning that person with the strongest combat potential into dividing the gains evenly was beneficial to everyone. However, Lan Mengqin always felt that this guy was opportunistic and not fair enough.

But now, Lan Xuanyu’s next tactical arrangement was mainly based on safety. Considering the possibility of casualties in a real battlefield, this was all to protect his teammates as much as possible. Although a bit too conservative, as a commander, his decision made his comrades feel safe.

Lan Xuanyu smiled and said: “Our goal of this comprehensive assessment is after all to pass Shrek, not to gain more gains. And we have already gained a lot.”

Lan Mengqin pouted, “That’s the case for you, not us right.” Don’t forget that this guy had a share of a whole 30%.

After resting for a full hour and a half, everyone was back to their best condition, and everyone moved on. Currently, they finally passed through this hilly area, and what appeared in the distance before their eyes was a valley.
