2589 Terrifying Combat Power of the Northern Expedition Army
Han Fei finally discovered that no matter if it was a divine beast or a ferocious beast, they were actually the same. They were all wild beasts in their bones.
The only difference was that one of them was beautiful and the other was ugly. Well, they couldn’t be said ugly exactly. Some ferocious beasts look quite powerful. Anyway, the divine beast looked like divine beasts, and the ferocious beasts looked just like ferocious beasts.
The two sides roared at each other for a long time, but at least what they should do. They were here to participate in the northern expedition, not to quarrel with each other. The final result was that neither side responded to the other.
This matter was almost over, but ferocious beasts were all carefree. The temper of any level of beast was actually not much different.
For example, not long after the northern expedition army advanced, a big cat from the ferocious beast army looked at the leaders of the human cultivators curiously and asked, “Hey, I heard that a ferocious person called Human Butcher suddenly appeared in your Hundred Alliances. What does he look like? Is he as fierce as me?”
Everyone couldn’t help but look sideways, only to see that the person turned into a cat several meters long, a big mixed-fur cat. Although his skin was smooth, his pupils shrank to a narrow slit, and the hair by his ears was as straight as blades, his big fat face didn’t look ferocious at all.
Someone looked at Han Fei, and Han Fei looked sideways at the big cat and said, “Big cat, do I look fierce?”
“My name is not Big Cat. My name is Wang Xiaojiu. Are you the Human Butcher?”
Han Fei shrugged. “If you’re looking for someone called the Human Butcher, then that’s me.”
Wang Xiaojiu swooshed over and landed beside Han Fei, muttering, “I heard that you destroyed a force alone?”
Han Fei touched the corner of his mouth. “Maybe that faction is too weak.”
Wang Xiaojiu snorted. “That’s true. Except for the top 100 fractions, the others in the Infinite Mining Area are relatively weak. However, I heard that you are a very fierce person, so you’re quite to my taste. Let’s make friends!”
Han Fei: “…”
Han Fei was lost for words. “Wang Xiaojiu, forgive my poor eyesight, but why do you think you are fierce?”
Wang Xiaojiu glared at Han Fei. “Look at the hair on my body. It’s so mixed! Some are white, some are yellow, and some are black. Do you know what colorful fur represents ferocious beasts? It represents poison. Let me tell you, I’m very poisonous, so I definitely belong to the ferocious beasts! Look at those divine beasts. Their furs are smooth and greasy. They don’t look fierce at all. They’re boring.”
Han Fei: “…”
He seriously suspected that there was something wrong with this big cat’s brain. You’re just a f*cking ordinary mixed-fur cat? Poisonous? Did it have a f*cking wrong perception of poison?
Han Fei didn’t want to talk to the cat anymore. He felt that his IQ would be lowered.
However, this big cat turned out to be a chatterbox. He asked Han Fei enthusiastically, “Hey, I heard that you found the inheritance of a Great Monarch? Why don’t you go by yourself? Is it because you can’t beat the mine demons? What does the Great Monarch Bloody Hand look like? Is his hand red? If it is red, it should be very poisonous. Is his hand lacking in strength? I heard that it’s a hand that can shake the gods. If you can survive it, it means that too much time has passed…”
Han Fei didn’t speak at all, but Wang Xiaojiu never stopped talking. The ferocious beasts seemed to be used to this scene. More importantly, Han Fei clearly felt that those ferocious beasts were very relaxed and seemed to be in a good mood. Was it because this cat was too naggy?
When Wang Xiaojiu raised all kinds of questions, no one approached Han Fei anymore. No one wanted to get close to this chatterbox!
Wang Xiaojiu was still saying, “You may not believe it, but there is actually a god among my ancestors. Have you heard of the Cat God? It doesn’t matter if you haven’t. Let me tell you, in a forgotten fragment deep in my inherited memories, my ancestor once fought the Dragon God. Unfortunately, in the long years after, the cat race declined! At my age, there are few cats left in the entire ferocious beast lineage. Even if there are, their bloodline is quite impure. It’s a pity that my top talent…”
Han Fei didn’t respond, but he didn’t expect Wang Xiaojiu to be so talkative.
Suddenly, just as Wang Xiaojiu was about to chat with Han Fei about how a cat should live elegantly, beams of light swept across the sky.
This was already within Han Fei’s expectations. When he went to the Mine Demon Stream, he had experienced such a scene. Along the way, there were so many Flash Lizards that Han Fei didn’t even want to fight them. At that time, Han Fei had avoided them as much as he could with his black-mist body.
However, this time, there were too many people in the northern expedition army. It was impossible to hide. The northern mining area had been deserted for tens of thousands of years, and the Flash Lizards in this area had already overflowed.
Therefore, the Flash Lizards all jumped and flashed over, and the first encounter war of the northern expedition army in the northern mining area officially began.
The Flash Lizards couldn’t be said to be weak. Their combat power might not be very strong, but their speed was very fast. It could be said that few of the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators who came this time were faster than the Flash Lizards.
Therefore, the Flash Lizards’ charge caused a certain amount of panic. When more and more Flash Lizards jumped and flashed over, they immediately turned the northern expedition army into chaos.
Some cultivators were killed on the spot because they couldn’t dodge in time.
However, everyone reacted quickly. They hadn’t encountered many Flash Lizards in the early stages, so only a hundred people had died.
In the crowd, people shouted, “Form an array! Form an array!”
The ten-people ancient array was something given to everyone from the beginning. And most members of the factions could usually form such an ancient killing array, which could gather the soul, strength, and defense.
In a moment, the army of the northern expedition instantly formed more than 1,500 arrays.
When a Flash Lizard jumped and flashed over, the strong masters in the team would instantly withdraw their strength and attack with their killer moves. With booms, explosions kept popping up in the void. Different from the panic just now, after a while, all Flash Lizards died.
This was because the Flash Lizards weren’t like ants that gathered in groups and had a fearless spirit of sacrifice in the face of danger. They were just simple-minded mine demons that only knew how to charge. They didn’t even have a specific concept of danger.
Therefore, when tens of thousands of Flash Lizards continued to charge at the array, the northern expedition army was overjoyed. This was because every Flash Lizard provided them with at least a level-four mineral. Some of the Flash Lizards could even provide level-five minerals.
What did this mean? Ordinary mine demons that hadn’t entered the Star Transformation Realm could at most give birth to level-two minerals, late-stage Star Transformation Realm mine demons level-three minerals, peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm mine demons level-four minerals, and perfected Star Transformation Realm ones only level-five minerals.
Under normal circumstances, if you wanted to hunt a mine demon in the perfected Star Transformation Realm, you had to have the strength of the perfected Star Transformation Realm, or even above it.
However, they didn’t have to do that today. Today, they had the advantage in numbers. In the northern expedition army, the weakest of them was in the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm. If ten of them formed an array, even ten peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm cultivators could suppress cultivators in the perfected Star Transformation Realm. Facing the mine demons who were not very smart, it would be even easier to kill them.
Therefore, in this battle, the northern expedition army completely occupied the upper hand.
The ferocious beasts and the divine beasts were naturally affected by the Flash Lizards too.
However, to Han Fei’s surprise, both sides were very strong.
For example, Wang Xiaojiu, the big cat that followed Han Fei and chatted with him for no reason, could unleash the speed of light explosion at will. Even the Flash Lizard couldn’t withstand a single slap from him.
More importantly, after Wang Xiaojiu slapped the Flash Lizard to death, he didn’t kill it but sent it flying everywhere. Then, he ran over to catch it happily.
While playing, Wang Xiaojiu said to Han Fei, “Human Butcher, I’m so strong, right? I heard that the Bloody Hand Mine Devil is very strong. Is it stronger than this thing?”
Han Fei: “Yes.”
Wang Xiaojiu’s pupils immediately turned round, and then with a bang, he threw the Flash Lizard to Han Fei.
Han Fei didn’t know if this was a test, but Wang Xiaojiu’s fighting style was shocking.
Han Fei instantly grabbed the Flash Lizard with both hands and tore it apart with a swish. Then, he punched out, setting off a round of fist marks in the void that formed ripples. The Flash Lizard’s Great Dao was instantly shattered, so was its soul.
For a moment, the ferocious beasts, the divine beasts, and even the people from the Hundred Alliance City all gasped.
The ferocious beasts were more impressed by him, because Han Fei’s fighting method was very brutal. It was the collision of blood and flesh, the burst of power, simple and violent, more like a ferocious beast than them.
As for the divine beasts, they looked at Han Fei differently. A person’s fighting style was closely related to his personality. Although they didn’t know Han Fei well, at least they didn’t like him very much.
Of course, Han Fei didn’t care. Along the way, he chatted with Wang Xiaojiu, mainly because Wang Xiaojiu had been chatting with him.
The battle lasted for half a day, because the Flash Lizards didn’t charge at the northern expedition army brainlessly. After all, they only attacked the northern expedition army after being harassed by the northern expedition army. Under normal circumstances, although there were many Flash Lizards along this route, they weren’t everywhere.
Therefore, because of the powerful military formation of the northern expedition army and the relatively scattered number of Flash Lizards, in three days, more than 30,000 Flash Lizards were killed by the northern expedition army, and only 212 members of the northern expedition army died.
