Chapter 1144-1146

Chapter 1144 - Smooth Scouting

Seeing Zhao Hai intending to fight with the Zhang Family, Charles and Leo's expressions dropped. They don't want to provoke the Zhang Family at this time. Such an action would only cause more casualties on their side.

Most importantly, Charles was afraid that Zhao Hai was doing this in order to weaken the other camps. To be honest, they didn't expect this outcome when they started this mission. In their view, Zhao Hai's strength wasn't that significant. Because of this, they weren't afraid of Zhao Hai.

Tie Sheng looked at the eyes of the two. With Charles being from the Ghost Symbol Camp, Tie Sheng knew what he was thinking about, "You two, Zhao Hai didn't want to fight just because he wants to. He currently has a newly refined weapon, so he wants to get accustomed to using it. Moreover, this is required so that we can all return to Dark Demon Planet. Since it is a new weapon, Little Hai is still not comfortable in using it. The more battles he goes into, the quicker he can adapt. Because of this, he needs to fight."

Upon hearing Tie Sheng, Charles and Leo stopped themselves from talking. Whether this was true or not, they couldn't disagree on Zhao Hai's plan at this point. Otherwise, they would be seen as hindering everyone's return to Dark Demon Planet. This would only make them everyone's enemies. Naturally, this wasn't something the two wanted to happen.

Seeing that nobody was talking, Zhao Hai turned to Tie Sheng and said, "Brother Tie Sheng, I'll go scout ahead to locate the Zhang Family's people. Meanwhile, you arrange the team to look at the surrounding terrain. It would be better for us if we are acquainted with the surrounding area before we fight the Zhang Family."

Tie Sheng nodded and said, "Alright. Go, leave matters here to me."

When Zhao Hai left, Charles turned to Tie Sheng and said, "Tie Sheng, is the Bone Symbol Camp alright with being used by Zhao Hai? Why do you agree to anything he says?"

Tie Sheng looked at Charles and coldly snorted before he replied, "If you have someone like Zhao Hai in your Ghost Symbol Camp, then you would also be willing to be used by him. Also, Little Hai had never fought with the others for resources. Ever since he joined the camp until now, he had never consumed potions from the camp. Although he was given a reward, all of that was gained through his own effort. It can be said that the camp was the one treating him unfairly." Naturally, Charles wasn't thinking about the Bone Symbol Camp's well-being when he asked this question. He was just planning to put a wedge in between Tie Sheng and Zhao Hai. However, he wasn't informed about Zhao Hai's matters in the Bone Symbol Camp. Because of this, his plan was put to waste.

When Leo saw that Tie Sheng wasn't joking nor deliberately smudging facts, he couldn't help but be curious, "What other things did Zhao Hai do for the Bone Symbol Camp?"

Tie Sheng smiled and said, "I can't tell you that. However, I can say that not only did he give something to the camp, he also offered a gift to the family. Otherwise, Zhao Hai wouldn't have been able to meet the Patriarch that easily. Moreover, didn't you notice that the Patriarch didn't do anything about Zhao Hai and Miss Margaret's relationship?"

Charles and Leo stared. Then their expressions changed. They had been thinking about competing with Zhao Hai but they actually forgot about Margaret's status. Naturally, people in their level knew more than others regarding Margaret.

At the time when they heard about Zhao Hai and Margaret, they couldn't help but sigh about Zhao Hai's good luck. He actually managed to snatch the family's princess. However, they actually forgot about the underlying matters.

Upon thinking about the future, Charles and the others couldn't help but feel envious. If Zhao Hai continued to have a relationship with Margaret, then he would soon leave the Bone Symbol Camp and become a core member of the family. Although it wasn't the same as directly looking after the Bone Symbol Camp, his future position would still allow Desbarres to stop worrying about the camp.

At this moment, Zhao Hai already left the meteorite base. Since nobody was with him, he could use all of his abilities. Zhao Hai's figure flashed as he returned to the Space.

Laura and the others were currently in front of the monitor looking at the situation outside. To be honest, the meteorite field was beautiful. Although it was filled with danger, the colorful scenery was still something to look at.

Seeing Zhao Hai come back, they immediately went to welcome him. It has been more than ten days since Zhao Hai entered the Space. Since he was with other people during the ambush, he didn't have the chance to leave.

Zhao Hai hugged Laura and the others. Although ten days wasn't a long time, he still missed them.

After everyone had settled down, Meg immediately offered Zhao Hai a cup of tea. Zhao Hai let out a long breath and then said, "The Space is really good. Nothing outside can compare to it."

Laura and the others smiled. Zhao Hai looked at Laura and said, "Laura, how are the Zhang Family's people doing?" While Zhao Hai was absent in the past few days, Laura and the others were busy. They took on the task of mapping the meteorite field.

This wasn't a difficult matter to accomplish. They divided Liquid Silver into smaller versions and then explored the meteorite field. They even treated it as a game.

At this point, almost all of the Rainbow Meteorite Field had been mapped by the Space. Zhao Hai didn't need to personally investigate the area. He could just relax inside the Space and look at the monitor.

Laura quickly opened the map of the meteorite field. It can be said that the field was really big. There were also small dots on the map. These dots surrounded a small passage. There were also rows of red dots on both ends of the passage.

Laura pointed at the red dots and said, "Brother Hai, look. The Zhang Family sent 50 medium-sized battleships altogether. They're currently patrolling the passage. The ones currently pursuing you are only comprised of Mages and Warriors. Most of the Mechs retreated when your group entered the meteorite field. All in all, there are 20 thousand pursuers. They divided themselves into four to five groups and scoured the passage. They're doing a comprehensive search on the immediate surroundings of the abandoned ship."

After she said that, Laura gestured towards an area on the map. The region she pointed out were filled with red dots. These red dots indicated the Zhang Family's search parties.

Zhao Hai looked at the monitor and nodded, then he said, "It seems like the Zhang Family are working really hard. This is good. It's time to clean them up. Lizzy, which of the teams do you think are the easiest to deal with?"

Lizzy pointed towards the team that was the farthest from Zhao Hai's base. Then she said, "It should be this one. They have mechs among them. Although mechs have strong combat power, they're far less flexible than Mages and Warriors in this meteorite field. Additionally, they can't deal with long-term battle."

Zhao Hao nodded. Although the meteorites in this field weren't too close together, they weren't far apart either. And don't forget, besides meteorites, there were also other things in the meteorite field. At the same time, mechs aren't good for one-man combats. In a one-on-one battle against a Mage or a Warrior, it was likely for the Mage and Warrior to win.

The reason why people thought that mechs were more powerful than Mages and Warriors was because their average strength was better. Mages might win against one mech. However, in a battle that involved thousands, Mages and Warriors would certainly lose against them.

If one were to make an analogy using ancient chinese terms, Mages and Warriors were martial artists while Mechs were soldiers in the army. In a one-on-one battle, martial artists could certainly kill a soldier. However, when it came to large-scale battles, martial artists could never contend against an army.

And in this meteorite field, Mechs couldn't fight a large-scale battle. Because of this, Mages and Warriors were in an advantageous position. Thus, Lizzy chose the team with the most Mechs.

Zhao Hai turned his head to Lizzy and said, "Let me see the details of that team."

Lizzy nodded. Then the picture on the screen changed. A region was zoomed in, showing a team. There were 2000 Mages and Warriors as well as another 2000 Mechs. This number wasn't small.

But it was obvious that these people weren't stupid. The reason why they had mechs among them was because there weren't a lot of meteorites in this area. Moreover, the distance between each meteorite was much greater compared to other areas.

Nevertheless, this wasn't an issue for Zhao Hai. Even if the meteorites were far apart, as long as the battle begins, these meteorites would shatter, causing smaller rocks to splinter out. Mages and Warriors might be able to dodge these fragments, but Mechs would certainly have problems with it.

The information that Laura and the others collected didn't stop at this. Since the Space's network was connected to the outside world, they managed to get more than the locations of these teams. For example, they were able to know that these people were from the Zhang Family's External Hall. Moreover, their identities were public, one could even see their information on the net!

Chapter 1145 - Ambush

Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn't return to the temporary base so soon. It has been some time since he returned to the Space, so he decided to stay here for a while. He would go out from time to time to carry out a personal surveillance of the meteorite field.

Although he can look at the area while sitting inside the Space, Zhao Hai still wanted to see the place for himself. It was only when he was personally there could he become familiar with it.

The area wasn't small, but the enemy only had 4000 people. This number wasn't anything compared to the scale of the area.

However, Zhao Hai was still very careful. He knew that he couldn't underestimate the Zhang Family. Most of these people were Mages. And even if their spiritual force was being suppressed, nobody can guarantee if anomalies would happen. If Zhao Hai was found out, then he would be in trouble. Even if he can escape, the situation still wouldn't be good.

Because of this, Zhao Hai was paying close attention to their movements through the monitor. Then he would visit the area section by section. Although he was in the vicinity, Zhao Hai believed that the Zhang Family couldn't find him. This was because he believed that nobody in the Zhang Family had the same level of spiritual force as him.

Zhao Hai returned to the Space after touring the meteorite field for a while. To be honest, there really wasn't anything to see here. However, it was a very good place to stage an ambush.

There were magnetic storms happening everywhere. And no matter what scale it was, it would still affect Mechs and even people. And there was also the meteorites. If they were large enough, then spiritual force would find it hard to penetrate through. If it weren't for the Space, then Zhao Hai wouldn't have been able to properly scout.

Upon returning to the Space, Zhao Hai looked at the situation back at the temporary base. Tie Sheng and the others managed everything well. There were already teams of people scouting the area surrounding the base.

After staying inside the Space for a couple of hours, Zhao Hai proceeded to exit the Space. The place he reappeared at wasn't that far from the temporary base.

Zhao Hai returned stating that he has something to report. Tie Sheng and the others immediately met with him. Those present were Tie Sheng and the other commanders, their assistants, and also Margaret.

Seeing that Zhao Hai was back, Tie Sheng immediately said, "Little Hai, how is it?"

Zhao Hai nodded and said, "The entire passage has fallen under the Zhang Family's control. There are 50 ships all in all blocking both exits of the passage. And it seems like they've sent more than 20 thousand people for this operation. I don't know the specific numbers, but they have separated into four to five teams. With the destroyed ship as the center, they branched out to search for us. There are about 3000 or 4000 people on each team." Tie Sheng and the others didn't expect this much people to be going after them. Their expressions weren't attractive to look at. Tie Sheng looked at Zhao Hai asked, "Little Hai, do you have a plan?"

Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Of course. I discovered a good place to attack. We can certainly wipe out one team."

Tie Sheng stared, then he said, "Wipe out one team? How many people are there?"

Zhao Hai smiled and said, "There's about 4000 people in that group. 2000 Mages and Warriors as well as about 2000 Mechs."

Upon hearing this, Tie Sheng's expression changed, then he shook his head and said, "That's no good. There's too many of them, it's too dangerous. They have more people than us. Moreover, half of them are Mechs." Charles and the others nodded.

But Zhao Hai just smiled and said, "It's because of the Mechs that I suggested to attack that team. If it was outside, then we might have trouble fighting them. However, we're currently inside the meteorite field. Those Mechs won't be able to deal with us. As long as we prepare an ambush ahead of time, we can definitely wipe them out."

Tie Sheng didn't know where Zhao Hai's confidence came from. He looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Tell us your plan." Zhao Hai nodded, then he took out a map of the meteorite field and placed it on the stone table.

As Tie Sheng and the others listened to Zhao Hai's plan, their eyes turned brighter and brighter. To be honest, the Zhang Family's pursuit made them feel suffocated. But they were also clear that if they vent their anger, then the Zhang Family would catch them all. The outcome couldn't justify the action. Because of this, they decided to endure.

However, this didn't mean that they didn't want revenge. There seems to be no flaws in the plan Zhao Hai proposed. It has a high probability to succeed. As long as they execute everything perfectly, then they could certainly kill 4000 Zhang Family members. This would allow them to breathe out some foul air.

Before long, Zhao Hai finished explaining his plan. Without even waiting for Tie Sheng to talk, Leo slapped his hand on the table and said, "Let's do it. This plan… it's most likely to succeed. I've been itching to kill some of those Zhang Family bastards."

Charles smiled and said, "Since the Zhang Family doesn't want us to leave this place, then we might as well clean them up. Let's make them understand how terrifying we are."

Seeing the two agree, Tie Sheng knew that the plan was going to get executed. Sure enough, the other commanders also agreed to Zhao Hai's plan.

When everyone agreed to the plan, Zhao Hai looked at those present and said, "It's not too late to start now. I reckon the other party would soon go back to their ship in order to take a rest. We can head there and stage an ambush. Perhaps we can even rest before the attack starts."

Tie Sheng nodded. Then he turned to look at the other commanders and said, "Call everyone over. Let's take an hour to rest and eat. After that, we make our move." Nobody opposed to this, in fact, all of them were quick to move.

Before long, all those who were scouting outside were recalled. Then Zhao Hai took out food for everyone to eat. When the commanders told their people about Zhao Hai's plan, all of them couldn't help but be excited.

People from External Halls were like mercenaries. And because of this, they developed an unruly nature. Now that they had been pressured by the Zhang Family, they couldn't help but feel a fire burning inside them. Hearing that they have an opportunity to take revenge, it was natural for them to burn with excitement.

After eating and taking a short rest, everyone was up and ready to move. This time, everyone including Margaret would move. After all, Margaret alone couldn't defend the base. And if Margaret was left behind, then she would need people to accompany her. However, the group was currently short on manpower. If they leave some people behind, then their manpower would be further reduced. Therefore, Tie Sheng decided to take Margaret with them.

Under Zhao Hai's lead, everyone went around specific areas in the field. After travelling for several hours, the group finally arrived at the area Zhao Hai decided on. And it seems like fortune was looking favorably at the Ashley Family, the Zhang Family's people had already retreated to take a rest. This allowed Zhao Hai and the others to safely prepare an ambush.

Since there weren't a lot of meteorites in this area, everyone couldn't hide inside one. Instead, they separated into groups and hid inside separate meteorites, waiting for the time to attack.

The reason Zhao Hai was confident was because he already knew the Zhang Family's movements. Laura and the others analyzed the Zhang Family's patterns and found out that in order to perform a carpet search on an area, they would separate into smaller teams and search each meteorite one by one.

In this case, they would be able to find their target much more easily. And now, the place where Zhao Hai and the others were in had a high probability to be searched next. According to the computer analysis that Laura and the others did, the probability that this place would be searched was over 90%. This was the reason why Zhao Hai brought everyone here.

Zhao Hai, Margaret, as well as 100 people from the Bone Symbol Camp were currently inside a small meteorite. Since the meteorite wasn't huge, they could immediately push it the moment the enemy approached them.

After everything has been taken care of, Zhao Hai made everyone take a rest so that they could maintain their optimum condition. While Zhao Hai was sitting cross-legged on the ground, he was talking with Laura and the others to see when the enemy would resume their search.

Laura and the others already grasped the patterns of the other party. When Zhao Hai and the others left their temporary base, the Zhang Family were still doing their search. They only stopped their search thirty minutes before Zhao Hai and the others arrived at the area. Because of this, Zhao Hai's group still had plenty of time to rest, allowing them to restore any energy they managed to expend during travel.

After some calculations, Laura and the others estimated that the Zhang Family would take 3 to 4 hours before they resumed their search. Also, from the passage to this place, the Zhang Family would take another 2 to 3 hours. In other words, Zhao Hai's group would have at least 5 to 6 hours to relax.

Whether it be Mages or Warriors, six hours of rest wasn't a short time. Even if they underwent a long fight, 5 to 6 hours of rest would be enough for them to recuperate.

With this result in mind, Zhao Hai immediately left and delivered food to the various groups. But even if Zhao Hai had a lot of good food inside the Space, he didn't take them out. He made sure that the ones he handed over were food that he had taken out of the Zhang Family's merchant ship.

Chapter 1146 - Ambush

Kelly was currently leading a group of people as they slowly flew forward. To be honest, he didn't agree to the family's decision. In order to deal with a few Warriors and Mages from the Ashley Family's External Hall, they actually dispatched a lot of people as well as battleships. They were making a huge fuss over something trivial.

Moreover, the family even commanded a strict search of the surrounding region. To Kelly, this wasn't necessary. The people from the Ashley Family had already been scared silly. They have already run far far away. It was impossible for them to stay in the vicinity. Perhaps they might even be deeper in the meteorite field looking for another way to leave.

If Kelly was a member of the Ashley Family, then he would do the same. He would try to leave the meteorite field through another place. This was a much better decision than staying in the meteorite field.

However, Kelly cannot defy the family's orders. Although it has been more than ten years since he ascended, he still wouldn't dare say anything about the family's decision. Additionally, this action wasn't done by only a single camp. They were even followed by a group of Mechs. Therefore, when they started their reconnaissance on a region named sector 5, they immediately divided it into smaller lots. Then they would carry out a comprehensive search on each area.

And they didn't only search each lot, they also installed strong alarms inside lots they already searched. As long as people enter these areas, the alarm would immediately send out a notification.

Naturally, it was impossible for them to install these alarms everywhere. What they do is put alarms only on places that would have a huge potential of being entered. And as the Zhang Family pushed on, they would reposition these alarms whenever applicable.

Kelly's group continued to move forward. Before long, they arrived at the area they were about to search. Those who entered the lot first were the Mechs. In the Machine Realm, Mechs held a much higher reputation compared to Mages and Warriors. Moreover, Mech pilots were mostly comprised of Machine Field natives. The reason for this was that the natives don't look highly upon ascenders. Although Kelly was leading the team, he wasn't the commander. Conversely, Kelly was the one who needed to listen to the commander of the Mech unit.

Kelly watched the surroundings while they advanced. Even if they haven't gone to this area before, it wasn't any different compared to other lots they searched. There were only meteorites everywhere, nothing else.

Kelly had met people from the other teams before they set out. Therefore, he knew that the others were doing their search on areas much more complex than his. This caused Kelly to be glad. In his mind, the less complex the terrain, the least danger they would be in.

As he was going forward, Kelly suddenly felt a movement of energy. He couldn't help but stare. Then he stopped and sensed the surrounding area. He discovered that the surrounding meteorites were actually flying straight towards them. Kelly was shaken, then he immediately shouted, "It's an ambush, prepare to fight!"

However, Kelly's warning came too late. The target of the meteorites weren't them, it was the Mechs. Although the Mechs were powerful, their mobility was still inferior compared to Mages and Warriors.

The meteorites were like huge stone balls that were fired towards the Mechs. Although the Mechs were doing their best to dodge, only a few managed to remain unscathed.

Moreover, there were quite a lot of meteorites, dozens of them. Although they weren't large, they were at least a few notches bigger than the mechs. And each one of them were fast, it didn't take long before the scouting team suffered a huge loss.

But this wasn't the end. The meteorites weren't just shot randomly, instead all of them met in the middle. Once they collided, they fragmented, attacking the Mechs once more. Among the 2000 Mechs present, more than 1000 were rendered useless. As for the remaining Mechs, they were also damaged, reducing their functionality by a few layers.

While Kelly and the others were flustered, several hundred sword qi were suddenly fired from all directions. The protective armor of the Mechs were already burst by the meteorites. So upon being hit by sword qi, the entire Mech troop was annihilated.

Following the sword qi were spells targeted towards Kelly and the others. These spells were at least 10 layers with most of them being 50-layer spells. Naturally, all of these spells had long since been prepared.

Although Kelly and the others had set up their own protective shields, it was still useless against the magical attacks. Before long, a large number of casualties emerged from the Zhang Family's troop.

Another thing Kelly noticed was that these spells weren't casually targeted. It seems like most of the spells were going towards the Warriors. The first wave of attacks took the lives of 300 Warriors.

After these two attacks were released, two attacks soon followed. It was already too late for Kelly's side to retaliate. The group had already broken up with people running in all four directions. However, this was good for them. This way, the attacks coming from the Ashley Family wouldn't deal with them at the same time. There were several people who came out unscathed.

From the beginning of the ambush up to now, Kelly's group had eaten four rounds of attacks. Now, the Mechs were annihilated, the Warriors were severely cut down, and the numbers of the Mages were also slashed. At this point, Kelly's group only had a bit more than 1000 people that were able to fight..

At this time, Zhao Hai's side already began rushing towards the Zhang Family's people. One side was full of morale while the other was in a panicked state. There was no need to ponder about the winner of this battle.

Meanwhile, Zhao Hai was eyeing Kelly. This was because he was the leader of the Mages and was the first to respond to the ambush. This meant that Kelly should have stronger spiritual force than the other Mages. Therefore, Zhao Hai wanted to experience Kelly's strength. As soon as Kelly felt Zhao Hai's focus on him, he couldn't help but stare for a moment before sneering. Kelly knew that escaping was pointless at this point. The only thing he could do was fight.

Kelly was identified as a level 5 Mage. However, nobody knew that he had three staffs in his hand. One staff had a 10-layer formation, another had 50-layers, and then the last one had 100-layers. What he normally used was the staff with 50-layers. The other staffs were his secret weapons. Moreover, he had large quantities of restoration potions in his hand. Kelly believed that he has no need to be afraid of a level 6 Mage.

Kelly was quite an ambitious person. Almost all of the money he raised since he ascended were spent on buying armaments. He didn't buy a villa nor did he indulge in leisure; all of his money was spent on strengthening himself.

Because of this, Kelly's armaments could be said to be the best in the Zhang Family's External Hall. Kelly didn't only have the three staffs, he also has a protective item. At the same time, his mage robe was a high-level item, providing another point of protection. He also had a piece of metal with a restorative magic formation set inside. It can be said that with these items, Kelly had enough confidence to face level 6 experts. So when he saw Zhao Hai approaching him, he didn't panic. On the contrary, Kelly took it as an opportunity.

He was preparing to capture Zhao Hai and use him as a hostage. This would give him a token to ask for freedom. Because of this, Kelly just stood in place and sent a spell towards Zhao Hai.

The spell was sent out by the 10-layer formation staff. At the same time, Kelly also activated his defensive formation.

Upon seeing the other party's magic, Zhao Hai knew that they were using items. However, he didn't care much about it and just waved his hand. Then a 10-layer formation appeared in front of him, blocking the incoming spell.

But shortly after that, Kelly took his 50-layer formation staff out and sent another spell towards Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai's body changed direction as he moved back. At the same time, he erected another 10-layer formation in front of him. However, this formation didn't block Kelly's offensive magic.

Fortunately, Zhao Hai's retreat was very fast. He arranged another 10-layer formation in front of him. Then immediately after the shield appeared, yet another one was cast. In turn, Kelly's magic was blocked by three succeeding defensive formations.

Actually, it was completely unnecessary for Zhao Hai to do this. He just wanted to see how strong other people's 50-layer magic formation were. But to be honest, Zhao Hai was disappointed by what he saw.

Kelly didn't expect Zhao Hai to block his attack, after all, it was a 50-layer magic formation. Kelly couldn't help but give Zhao Hai even more importance. Then he traded his magic staff for the one with a 100-layer formation inside.

In the current Machine Field, 100-layer formations were rarely seen. This was because 100-layers were very hard to make. And engraving this kind of formation into a staff was much more difficult. The material requirements for this kind of endeavor was very high. Generally, staffs with 100-layer formations inside were made out of metal. Mithril as well as other additives were needed for the engraving to succeed.

Because of this, the staff's weight would increase, as well as its cost. Mages who carry a 100 kilogram staff into a fight would certainly suffer. And because of the formations needed to be engraved, different types of materials were needed, further increasing the staff's price.

Kelly hoisted his magic staff and inserted his own spiritual force on it. Since it was for a 100-layer formation, the amount of spiritual force needed was quite a lot. However, this sacrifice was worth it for the result. The 100-layer formation was Kelly's strongest metal-element formation.

This magic formation was known as metal storm. When the magic formation materialized, it began to absorb the metal element energy in the surroundings. The spell grew bigger and bigger before it exploded into shards. Then the shards turned into a huge tornadoes. These tornadoes collided once more as it flew like a storm towards Zhao Hai.

Zhao Hai's eyes shone, then he said, "100 layers? Good. This is what I like to see." Then he locked his fingers together, releasing a 100-layer formation in front of him. However, his formation was somewhat different. Half of the formation was red while the other half was azure.

When the formation had materialized, Zhao Hai loudly said, "Wind and Fire is eternal. Wind aids fire, fire eats wind! Explode!" Along with Zhao Hai's voice, the formation in front fiercely exploded. A column of inferno began to shoot itself towards the metal storm.

Kelly sneered, he was very confident of his own 100-layer formation. This formation was made out of the most offensively powerful element. He doesn't believe that Zhao Hai's formation would block it.

But Kelly would soon realize that he was wrong. When the two formations hit each other, Kelly's metal storm melted under Zhao Hai's spell. The metals liquefied and before long they vaporized.

Kelly was left standing there, dazed. He didn't expect this outcome. The magic staff he expensively bought was actually rendered useless.

Shortly after that, Zhao Hai said, "Fiery feathers, metal arrows. Rain of ten thousand arrows. Shoot!" As his voice fell, a rain of metallic arrows began to fall onto Kelly.

These arrows were very fast. But fortunately, Kelly's defensive formation activated. When the arrows hit the shield, the shield shook fiercely, as though it would break at any time.

Kelly gawked. He immediately funneled his spiritual force towards the defensive formation. At the same time, he took out his 50-layer formation staff. He wouldn't dare use his 100-layer formation staff for a long time. This wasn't only because the staff was heavy, the spiritual force needed to sustain the formation was too huge. Kelly didn't have the ability to make use of it for a long time.

Just as Kelly was about to launch his magic, he suddenly heard Zhao Hai, "Silent Demon Killing Arrows,. Fire!" After Zhao Hai said this, a 50-layer formation appeared in front of him. The formation was pitch black. Then a pointed tip appeared on the formation shortly followed by a black shaft and a blue tail. This arrows flew quickly, but they were eerily quiet. Their target was Kelly.

Kelly was caught while drinking. Because of his usage of magic, Kelly needed to replenish using a magic potion. Although potions recovered one's magic quickly, the effect wasn't immediate.

And while Kelly was restoring his magic, Zhao Hai's arrow suddenly appeared in front of him!
