Chapter 358: The Rapidly Growing Army; Invincible Within Beast King Level_4
As for the silver-made arrows, there are even fewer of them.
Silver has extremely strong penetrating power. Arrows made from it can easily pierce through the bones of Cold Beasts. However, due to its attribute of restraining deceitful monsters, using it to forge weapons is acceptable, but making arrows is genuinely too extravagant. Currently, Great Xia has forged a total of 200,000 silver-made arrows, known as bone-piercing arrows. They have stored 100,000 in the Camp Supply Department as inventory, while the other 100,000 have naturally been given to the most powerful two armies, the Cloud Dragon and Dragon Martial Army.
"I see, I thought these Thunder Kuis didn't flee west because the Lord and the four Beast Kings were fighting in the sky. It seems they've long noticed the Cloud Dragon Army and Dragon Martial Army, hence the delay."
Yue Feng suddenly understood and continued to look closely.
The arrow rain from the Cloud Dragon and Dragon Martial Armies lasted for over a minute. The Thunder Kui clan, which initially had just over five thousand, lost another near twenty percent, about a thousand heads.
Huff... Huff...
"Army charge, coordinate with the four armies, and clear out the remaining enemies!"
Two flags suddenly rose from the Snow Forest and then directly penetrated the center of the Thunder Kui clan. Accompanied by Li Xuanling's second order, two Golden Armor Armies suddenly emerged from the Snow Forest and fiercely charged towards the military flags, which directed towards the Thunder Kui clan.
Unlike the earth-shaking scene of the four armies' previous battles, the emergence of the Cloud Dragon and Dragon Martial Armies seemed exceptionally calm. Two thousand Golden Armored Soldiers entered the interior of the Thunder Kui clan without uttering a single shout.
One charge was enough to show the vast difference between the four armies and these two. The few hundred Intermediate Thunder Kuis in the front row had at most one chance to charge. If they failed to break through, the soldiers of the two armies would immediately annihilate them.
The sharp horns of the Thunder Kuis were hopeless against the golden armor of the soldiers. The strength of the low and intermediate-level Thunder Kuis clearly couldn't match these soldiers. Some Advanced Cold Beasts could make some noise, but they would soon attract numerous Cold Resistance Level soldiers. They could last only about a hundred breaths; ultimately, they would succumb to their misfortune.
Within two or three hundred breaths, Yue Feng saw at least more than three hundred Intermediate Thunder Kuis perish and several dozen Advanced Thunder Kuis the same. Though they struggled for a longer time, under Xia Chuan's leadership and the combined eradication of the two armies' soldiers, they had no room for resistance.
Looking at the golden battle armor worn by the soldiers of the two armies, Li Yuankun couldn't help but show a hint of envy, "Thousand Forged Level Lei Kui Golden Armor, normally, one must have a Seventh-Grade noble title to wear it. But with no current wars, advancing to the Seventh-Grade is extremely difficult. Throughout Great Xia, there are only two Seventh-Grade Qingming Marquises, Minister and Yuwen Sizheng.
No wonder the Cold Resistance Level soldiers in the camp are all fighting to get into the Cloud Dragon and Dragon Martial Armies. This war armor alone is enough to make anyone drool."
War armor above the Hundred Forged Level is strictly controlled by Great Xia. Currently, the highest-grade war armor available for individuals to exchange in the Camp Supply Department is the ordinary Hundred-forged Iron Armor. The Hundred Forged Level Lei Kui Golden Armor has already been classified as war-prepared material, not to mention the Thousand Forged Thunder Kui Golden Armor.
Individuals simply can't exchange for it, no matter how much Contribution Value they have.
Even Yue Feng's eyes were full of envy. The newly established Mountain River Army, like the Dragon Slayer, Tiger, and Leopard Armies and the nine other armies, only wore the Hundred Forged Level Lei Kui Golden Armor.
"It's wrapping up, free hunt now!"
Li Xuanling had already given the order to wrap up, allowing the army to freely hunt the Thunder Kuis.
The remaining more than three thousand Thunder Kuis no longer posed any real threat; most had evidently lost the will to fight and were only focused on escape.
The soldiers who heard Li Xuanling's final order started seeking out the Advanced Thunder Kuis. If not possible, then they sought to kill the Intermediate ones. Interestingly, the low-level Thunder Kuis were the safest at this time as no one paid any attention to them, allowing them to escape.
"It's wrapped up, we should first go and meet the Madam, the Lord probably too..."
Boom!
Just as Yue Feng was planning to bring Li Yuankun to meet Li Xuanling, a sudden thunderous sound from the sky interrupted them.
Both of them looked up at the sky, their pupils suddenly contracted.
Unexpectedly, at an unknown moment, the four golden lights in the sky had transformed into four Thunder Kuis with bodies over a hundred meters long covered in golden armor.
With such massive Thunder Kui figures, the two of them could naturally see clearly at once.
Four Beast King Level Thunder Kuis hovered high above, their pupils red, nostrils flaring with heavy breaths, each with a dozen or so bloody holes from which blood gushed out, dripping from the sky onto the snow below, where the intense heat of the blood instantly melted the accumulated snow and sent up wisps of steam.
In stark contrast to them was Xia Hong in the middle. Although Xia Hong's face couldn't be seen clearly, the radiating red glow was still intense and fiery; from this Yue Feng could judge that Xia Hong was definitely still holding the upper hand.
Of course, Yue Feng wasn't the only one to see the situation; many soldiers below, including the commanders of various armies, also detected something.
"The two Thunder Kuis on the west side of the Lord seem to be faltering."
"Neck, the necks of those two Thunder Kuis are injured."
"One Thunder Kui's left eye seems to be pierced, right?"
"The Lord is using the Dragon Sparrow Saber at this time! If it was the Cold Blood Blade being used today, these four Thunder Kuis might not have held up till now."
"Why not use the Cold Blood Blade?"
"You don't know? The Cold Blood Blade is being reforged at Artifact Refining Pavilion. Mu Sizheng took 90% of the high-level craftsmen at the camp almost half a year ago, still hasn't finished yet!"
......
The discussion among the soldiers below wasn't far off the mark from reality!
High in the sky, Xia Hong, slightly panting, looked at the four Beast King Level Thunder Kuis ahead, his peripheral vision glancing at the Dragon Sparrow Saber in his hand, he shook his head slightly, showing a hint of helplessness on his face.
"Without the Cold Blood Blade, it truly is hard to kill!"
The Cold Blood Blade had been taken by Mu Dong for reforging half a year ago, leaving him with this Dragon Sparrow Saber, which already had gaps after battling Yang Fa at Beishuo. Hastily using it to deal with the four Beast King Level Thunder Kuis in front of him indeed felt a bit overwhelming.
"However, having faced the five Beast Kings of the previous three silver mines, coupled with these four Beast King Level Thunder Kuis before him, I've basically figured out the strength divisions of the Beast King Level Cold Beasts, so it wasn't entirely fruitless."
Xia Hong turned to look at the Beast King Level Thunder Kui directly in front of him, eyes gleaming with a hint of light.
"The newly advanced Beast King Level Cold Beasts have strength not exceeding two hundred manes; the slightly more powerful ones have strength ranging from about four hundred to six hundred manes; the next stage would be this Thunder Kui King before me. So far, the strongest Beast King I've encountered has power exceeding eight hundred manes!"
Whether there are stronger Beast Kings, Xia Hong was still unsure. But judging by the scale of this silver mine, a stronger Beast King could only be about as strong as he is now, with a very small chance of surpassing him.
"Which means, I'm invincible within the Beast King Level!"
Xia Hong gently uttered these seven words, staring at the most powerful Beast King Level Thunder Kui in front of him, eyes filled with pride.
Whiz......
He didn't charge toward that most powerful Thunder Kui, but his body suddenly pulled back and rushed toward the most injured Thunder Kui to the west.
Roar......
The Thunder Kui, the strongest one, apparently the leader, clearly didn't anticipate Xia Hong's movement trajectory at first. Realizing that Xia Hong's target was not itself, it let out a furious roar and directly led the other three Thunder Kuis to charge forward.
But not only in strength, its speed was also far inferior to Xia Hong's.
Before the three Thunder Kuis could close in, Xia Hong had already stood in front of the severely injured Thunder Kui.
Poof......
Roar......
The Dragon Sparrow Saber in Xia Hong's right hand directly thrust into the only remaining right eye of that Thunder Kui. With an abrupt backward force in his left hand, a gigantic dark red skeletal phantom silhouette over a thousand feet high slowly coalesced behind him, mirroring his movements.
Boom!
As his fist descended, the sky within a radius of five li shook violently, and the wailing of the Thunder Kui ceased abruptly, its massive body plummeting to the ground like a cannonball, raising a snow mist over a thousand meters high.
Boom......
"Roar!"
Upon hearing the roar, Xia Hong quickly turned his head, intending to deal with the three Thunder Kuis that were closing in on him.
But as he turned, he found the three Thunder Kuis all turned around simultaneously and flew directly towards the depths to the west of Long Mountain.
"What a pity! I'll need to ask Mu Dong to speed it up, no way can I do without the Cold Blood Blade!"
Xia Hong sighed slightly and, after a moment of contemplation, looked down at the small mountain over three hundred meters high below, a smile finally emerging on his face.
"The fourth silver mine is ours; let's get the Camp Supply Department people to come over right away. If it's a large one, it would be fantastic!"
