Chapter 2967: Chapter 2987: Why Can’t This Person See Through?
The First Corps soldiers retreated in an orderly manner, and soon, they were back under the cover of their defensive line.
Chen Shuihe imdiately began to tally the casualties of the Third Squad. All the responsible subordinates quickly summarized the situation and reported it upward.
“Sect Master, I have finished counting. In total, twenty-seven people were killed in action, thirty-five were seriously injured, and two hundred sixty-seven were lightly injured…”
Lin Chen nodded, “Proceed as usual.”
The killed were collected, the seriously injured were sent to the rear, and the lightly injured were treated by physicians, took dicinal pills for recovery, and prepared to continue fighting.
In the recent battle, Lin Chen had fought against a succession of opponents. Although he often caught them by surprise, always managing to kill his opponents quickly, his spiritual power was also significantly depleted.
Lin Chen consud a dicinal pill to replenish his spiritual power and quietly recovered.
On the battlefield, battles could erupt at any mont, and ensuring one was always in peak condition was the basic rule for survival.
Chen Shuihe and the others also took their own dicines to recover. Xiong Yaxiong encountered a powerful demon. Despite a tough fight which left him injured, the overall situation was leaning towards the First Corps, so Xiong Yaxiong did not completely collapse.
Overall, the death and injury rate for the Third Squad was not high, a death rate of less than three percent. However, much of this was thanks to Lin Chen blocking that Quasi-Saint, who was charging towards the camp; otherwise, had he penetrated into the Third Squad, likely a great number would have perished in the blink of an eye.
Other squads that were attacked were not so fortunate. Two Quasi-Saints were intercepted by the Army Commander, Jiang Yunfeng, but others breached the lineup, causing heavy casualties.
Despite this situation, Lin Chen felt no fluctuations in his emotions.
In a major war, one must be as resolute as iron. All soldiers are re pieces in his strategy, and under every decision he makes, nurous soldiers will bleed or even sacrifice their lives.
The principle that the rciful cannot control an army is exactly this.
Lin Chen was rely a team leader. His completion of the mission while managing to take care of his soldiers was itself an achievent. Beyond that was beyond his consideration.
Over half a day, Lin Chen consud several high-grade elixirs to fully replenish his consud spiritual power.
dicinal pills are the pillars of support in such a war of attrition. Every engagent drains a vast amount of valuable elixirs, so the war is essentially a battle of attrition.
Whoever is stronger, recovers faster, and fights longer is the victor on the battlefield.
Lin Chen’s mind delved into the Sea of Knowledge, focusing on the Gluttonous Blood Tree.
This battle had been a feast for the Gluttonous Blood Tree, and it had consud beings comparable to Peak Great Luo Xian Demons.
The seeds of Gluttonous Blood Tree underwent a visible transformation, with nurous bloodlines appearing on them, entwined with a ferocious, bloody breath.
This aura appeared faint but aid directly at the essence; if revealed in the outer world, it would be sufficient to chill the hearts of cultivators, causing them to tremble, and force demonic beasts to lie prostrate on the ground, crying as they await slaughter.
Such a significant improvent!
Lin Chen was quite pleased; do not underestimate this Gluttonous Blood Tree. Once it grows into its full form, it will be a super weapon on the battlefield!
If it faced a Peak Great Luo Xian, its effectiveness might not be significant, as the opponent is strong and it would not be easy for it to directly devour the enemy. However, on the battlefield, not all enemies can be Peak Great Luo Xians.
Covering the sky and the sun, the unstoppable Gluttonous Blood Tree will transform into an Asura, easily slaying anyone within range. Moreover, by devouring the bodies of enemies and absorbing their Essence Blood, it can instantly convert it into robust combat power!
As long as there are enough enemies on the battlefield who lack the ability to destroy it, it will continuously fight, never ceasing, and Lin Chen wouldn’t even need to provide it with spiritual power!
As long as there are sufficient “nutrients”, it can fight independently.
After carefully observing, Lin Chen exited the Sea of Knowledge with delight. With several similar battles, it might reach the Peak Great Luo Xian, even crushing it, making myself have a powerful assistant as well.
Even if my realm is slightly lacking, and I might not be able to crush the Peak Great Luo Xian yet, but with the addition of the Gluttonous Blood Tree, this should be sufficient, right?
As Lin Chen stepped out of the camp, he saw Kong Wenlong standing and chatting with a group of team leaders.
When Kong Wenlong saw Lin Chen, his gaze changed slightly.
As a division leader, he naturally participated in the battle, but he did not lead the charge. This was not because he feared death but because, as the division leader, his responsibility lay more in commanding and coordinating, ensuring the Ninth Division moved in sync.
Therefore, when that Quasi-Saint charged toward the Third Squad, Kong Wenlong felt quite conflicted.
The mont he saw the Quasi-Saint’s charge, he hoped that the Quasi-Saint would conveniently eliminate Lin Chen. But in the blink of an eye, his heart was filled with more worry and anxiety.
If the Quasi-Saint broke through the Third Squad, other teams would inevitably be slaughtered. Thus, a mont later, he hoped more that Lin Chen would release the Great Demon swarm to jointly block the Quasi-Saint’s assault.
Lin Chen didn’t unleash the Great Demon but suddenly summoned two won instead.
One woman guarded by Lin Chen’s side, and the other, along with a tower, brutally intercepted the charging Demon Race Quasi-Saint!
They stopped him!
Kong Wenlong was both shocked and relieved: relieved that the Quasi-Saint was intercepted, so the third squad wouldn’t be broken through, which saved his Ninth Division from heavy losses; shocked by Lin Chen’s thods.
He had never heard Lin Chen ntion these two won, yet now with their intervention, even a Quasi-Saint had to halt.
What was their strength?
Could they also be Quasi-Saints?
To think they just stayed by Lin Chen’s side, residing within a Magical Treasure, appearing to protect Lin Chen when danger struck!
Kong Wenlong’s initial feeling was relief. How many hidden cards did Lin Chen hold?
Was he really a nobody from a small place?
How co it’s completely impossible to see through him?
Not to ntion, just that woman using the Fire Dragon Divine Power to stop countless formidable flying swords — could I block that?
I would probably be turned directly into ashes by the Fire Dragon, right?
Suddenly, Kong Wenlong felt so gratitude towards Zhou Daocang. If it weren’t for his bravery in taking action first, proving Lin Chen’s formidability with his life, would I have targeted Lin Chen repeatedly, eventually provoking him, and then facing such a terrifying existence myself?
Kong Wenlong never believed that his position as a division leader would make Lin Chen wary. The kid, although seemingly well-behaved, was incredibly bold at heart!
All his actions were rely to avoid trouble for himself, the Third Squad, and not to involve others!
As thoughts flashed through Kong Wenlong’s mind, a gentle smile surfaced on his face, “Lin Chen, you’re here. Are you hurt?”
Lin Chen replied, “Thank you, Team leader, for your concern. I just used up a lot of spiritual power, but I have recovered now and am ready to fight again anyti.”
Kong Wenlong subconsciously rembered Lin Chen summoning the Gluttonous Blood Tree, instantly killing several Demon Venerables, yet he smiled and said, “It’s good you’re fine. Today, you’ve killed quite a few Demon Venerable level enemies, truly achieving great rits…”
