While Wang Xiao was thinking of a countermeasure, the killing on the battlefield continued.
After losing two more [Nine 1–lead Taoties], there were only five [Shadow Clones] left.
On Wang Xiao’s side, other than the [Blazing Golden Crow] that had returned to his territory, there were also five mutated beasts fighting with all their might. Qi Lianjun’s [Elf Commanders] and 1,000 [Shadow Golden Thorn Spiders] had yet to attack.
In terms of numbers alone, Wang Xiao’s side seemed to have a higher chance of winning, but the situation on the battlefield was completely opposite.
After the number decreased, the formation of the five [Nine Head Taoties] also completely spread out. The five mutated beasts were forced to fight alone. Even if they only joined forces for an instant, they would leave an opportunity for the [Nine Head Taoties] to take advantage of.
As a result, the lightning and flames flickered continuously on the battlefield, but the results were very ineffective. The soldiers of both sides put up a good fight but neither could do anything to the other.
As for Qi Lianjun’s [Jungle Sprites], they had long been destroyed by the aftershock of the various attacks.
Seeing this situation, Wang Xiao and Qi Lianjun were a little anxious.
Qi Lianjun pondered for a moment and probed. “Wang Xiao, should I let the [Elf
Commanders] out?”
“It’s not time yet.”
Wang Xiao shook his head without thinking. “If I’m not wrong, after the [Nine Head Taotie] loses two to three more clones, it will remove the status of the [Shadow Clone].”
“At that time, my mutated beasts’ stamina will be exhausted, and the [Nine Head Taotie] will return to its nine-headed form. As long as it casually releases a skill, it can cause my soldiers to suffer heavy losses. Therefore, your [Elf Commanders] have to be saved for emergencies!”
Qi Lianjun frowned when he heard this. “Why are you still thinking so much at a time like this? If the [Elf Commanders] don’t attack, your mutated beast really won’t be able to hold on!”
Wang Xiao took a deep breath and did not say anything. Qi Lianjun was anxious but did not insist. He changed the topic and suggested, “Then let the [Shadow Golden Thorn Spiders] provide support. You can catch your breath while the other party is dodging.”
“No, I have to save it to deal with the nine-headed form of the [Nine Head
Taotie].”
“You…”
Qi Lianjun was momentarily stunned, but looking at the group of mutated beasts fighting, he swallowed the words he was about to say.
Until now, it had always been Wang Xiao’s mutated beasts fighting. Although he did not say anything, Qi Lianjun believed that Wang Xiao was definitely even more anxious than him.
Taking a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, Qi Lianjun asked again, “Are you sure that after defeating two to three more [Nine Head Taotie] heads, the other party will remove the status of the [Shadow Clone]?”
Wang Xiao thought for a moment and replied, “The other party still has five heads now, but if there are only two or three left, the clones will be meaningless.”
Qi Lianjun nodded. “I have a solution…”
Looking at the nervous battle of the soldiers, the Lang brothers’ expressions unknowingly became serious.
“Brother, this Wang Xiao seems to have some skills.”
Lang Lina leaned to his brother’s side and whispered, “Let’s not talk about platinum mutated beasts. I didn’t expect those gold-quality mutated beasts to actually be able to fight back and forth with the [Nine Head Taotie]! ”
Lang Buli nodded in agreement. “No wonder Brewer died at his hands. We did underestimate him previously.”
“That’s right..
Lang Lina sighed in fear, but he immediately chuckled strangely. “However, he’s only a little stronger than expected. Aren’t these mutated beasts only able to fight the [Nine Head Taoties] to a draw?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed.
The [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] that was fighting a [Nine Head Taotie] suddenly turned around and jumped towards the [Nine Head Taotie] that was fighting the [Silver Shadow Leopard].
Although the [Nine Head Taotie] that was fighting the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] did not know what was going on, it still instinctively attacked. With a claw wrapped in black smoke, it instantly shattered the defensive golden light shared by the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf]!
The golden light exploded, and there were a few more bloody wounds on the back of the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf], but it seemed to not feel anything at all. Instead, it instantly flew more than ten meters using the force of the attack and landed between the [Silver Shadow Leopard] and the other [Nine Head Taotie].
“Oh no!”
Lang Buli’s pupils constricted as he shouted anxiously, “They want to give up the pawn to protect the commander! Quickly remove the [Shadow Clone]!”
Lang Lina also reacted when he heard this. Unfortunately, it was already too late.
The wolf and leopard’s eyes met in the air and almost instantly understood what the other party meant.
The [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] attacked the [Nine Head Taotie] with [Ice Claw].
The latter subconsciously jumped up to dodge, and the [Silver Shadow
Leopard] that had activated [Silver Flash] also arrived at this moment!
The [Wind Splitting Claw] was activated, and half of the head of the [Nine Head Taotie] was cut off on the spot.
Before the hot blood sprayed out and landed on the ground, the two mutated beasts had already rushed towards the [Nine Head Taotie] that had attacked the [Ice Thunder Horn Wolf] earlier!
Under the siege of the two platinum mutated beasts, this [Nine Head Taotie] quickly died.
After losing two [Nine Head Taoties], the originally stalemate on the field was completely broken!
“Roar!!!”
The [Raging Lava Bear] let out a furious roar and slapped the ground to switch to the [Berserk Beast Form]. The three mutated beast soldiers combined to deal with the seventh [Nine Head Taotie], leaving only two still entangled with the [Gold Armor Black Turtle] and the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon].
The scales of victory tilted towards them again. Wang Xiao and Qi Lianjun’s hearts were also in their throats!
After losing the numerical advantage, the [Shadow Clone] would lose its meaning. However, this was only the logic of a normal person, and the Lang brothers were completely crazy. Would they act according to the logic of a normal person?
Just as this question appeared in Wang Xiao’s heart, the remaining two [Nine Head Taoties] exploded into dense black smoke with a bang.
Immediately after, all the black smoke on the battlefield gathered together.
Seeing this, before the nervousness on Wang Xiao’s face could fade, he had already shouted with all his might, “Now! ”
Before he could finish speaking, ten [Elf Commanders] rushed forward with heavy swords in their hands!
While the exhausted mutated beasts retreated from the battlefield, a thousand [Piercing Spider Spears] that were glowing with black light had already pierced through the air!
A large number of spider spears left afterimages in the air. The [Nine Head Taotie] did not have time to react at all and hundreds of bloody holes were pierced through its body!
Although these two-finger-thick bloody holes were not considered serious injuries to the huge body of the [Nine Head Taotie], the pain and poison were real.
“Roar!!!”
The painful [Nine Head Taotie] screamed and fell to the ground uncontrollably.
At the same time, the ten [Elf Commanders] rushed forward.. With a muffled shout, they raised the 50 kilogram heavy swords above their heads and slashed crazily without mercy!
