Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 379 Voluntary
Silver Lake Moon asked, "What revelation did you hear?"

"It was a revelation from the King of Light, telling us to follow the prophet and destroy the foreign enemy."

The other elves had solemn expressions. After the Elf Empire was defeated, it collapsed and became food for the giant insects.

The King of Light appeared out of nowhere and fired the legendary "Ten Thousand Arrows" during the 'Dawn War'.

With a single arrow, rain fell like downpours, covering hundreds of miles and slaughtering millions of giant insects.

The giant insect was terrified, and the elves had a chance to catch their breath.

Finally, the King of Light led the remaining forces into the Flute Forest and established several underground cities.

"Get up," Zhou Leng said.

The elves rose one by one.

The newly arrived elves looked at the mangled wild elf in confusion, and one of them asked, "Them..."

A mutilated wild elf, tears streaming down its face, cried out, "The demons harmed us, and then the Prophet saved us! The Prophet saved us!"

"Yes, it was the Prophet who saved us. We followed the Prophet willingly, entirely of our own volition..."

More crippled spirits began to cry, and no one could tell whether it was out of regret or gratitude.

They realized that the deed was done.

Even if they returned to the elven city, the elders would not abandon a prophet revealed by their ancestors for the sake of the elves.

The Elven race has not produced a prophet or revelation for thousands of years.

If they oppose the revelation of the prophets, the elders, for the honor of the elves, will surely deal with them.

Being imprisoned in a dark, sunless dungeon forever is more cruel than killing them.

The newly arrived wild elves were moved to tears.

"This prophet is truly great, the devil is truly ruthless, and this scene is truly heartwarming..."

Zhou Leng was almost moved. How could the elves' attitudes towards him have changed so drastically in just one day?

As the old saying goes, barbarians fear power. The stronger you are, the more the barbarians will be afraid. Any kindness shown will be seen as weakness by the barbarians, who may rebel at any time.

“Let’s go to a large, interconnected cave first. As expected, more and more elves will follow,” Zhou Leng said.

"Yes!"

A new team is on its way.

More and more spirits came and joined the team.

The newly arrived elves were deeply moved when they learned that the great prophet had saved so many of his brothers and sisters.

Although the wild elves are hostile to outsiders, their internal relations are relatively harmonious.

Silver Lake Underground City, before the Bloodstained Jade Wall.

The elves looked blankly at each other.

First, the Elf Prophet, 1205.

"That unknown monster has become a prophet?"

"impossible!"

"I understand now. It was the elven prophet who appeared, killed the unknown monster, and obtained its blood mark!"

"Yes, that must be the case!"

The elves breathed a long sigh of relief; this was more likely the case.

"God bless the elves!" some elves prayed softly.

"I just contacted other hunting grounds, and they've all had incidents. The number of monsters inside has surged, and the casualties are much heavier than in the previous trials."

"If all four hunting grounds are like this, it can only mean that the giant insect has found a way to infiltrate them."

"I just received news that more than half of the elves have died in the first hunting ground. In the other two hunting grounds, the number of deaths has reached one-third, similar to our third hunting ground."

"what?"

The elves were shocked.

"Considering the recent arrival of the Heavenly Calamity and the large-scale alliance between demons and giant insects, their goal is quite clear."

"The treants have sent word that they have discovered a combined army of hundreds of thousands of monsters charging into the Flute Forest, heading straight for our Silver Lake."

"No way."

"What should we do? Fight or flee?"

"Escape? How can we escape? The hunting grounds are the future of our race. If we escape, are we just going to leave them to face the monster alliance alone after the blood hunt ends?"

"I understand now. It was all Tianhuo's scheme. He took advantage of this Blood Hunt to make his move, and we had no way to avoid it."

"All elves, heed my command! Quickly prepare, contact all major powers, and prepare to defend Silverlake Town. Furthermore, a small number of elderly and children, carrying strategic resources, shall evacuate first to preserve the elves' lineage..."

"At such times, the sudden appearance of a prophet must be a revelation from our ancestors."

"Yes, some people evacuated to search for the prophet. Perhaps he is the hope for the rise of our people."

Blood Hunting Grounds.

An hour after becoming a prophet, Zhou Leng had 124 wild elves around him who were ready to fight.

Because there were so many people, the monsters and giant insects they encountered would run away at a glance.

Zhou Leng said, "Time is almost up. We can't delay any longer. Let's attack the altar now."

The group set off again, and just as they reached the entrance of the passage, a large horde of demons and giant insects charged towards them.

"There are humans!"

"This human killed so many of our people!"

"Why are there so many elves?"

"We have quite a few of us too."

"kill!"

"Kill them all!"

The demons were warlike by nature, and seeing that their numbers were at least three times that of the enemy, they charged forward with howls.

Some giant insects climbed up the walls on both sides of the passage and rushed over at full speed.

"Fight!"

At Zhou Leng's command, more than a hundred wild elves formed a battle formation.

Attack spells and arrows flew out simultaneously, while protective spells enveloped everyone.

Several elves cast protective and enhancement spells on Zhou Leng.

When the demons and giant insects rushed close, Zhou Leng had already been enchanted with more than twenty different kinds of spells.

Troll Power, Bloodlust, Tree Skin, Battle Awakening, Fearless Will, Deflection Shield, Gale Body, Shield of Light... Strength increased by at least 50%.

After many days of cultivation, Zhou Leng, though only a True Liquid Innate, had already reached the peak of Blood Shaking Innate. In terms of physical strength and healing ability, he was no less than a Bone Forging Innate.

Now, empowered by the spirits, he has reached the innate level of bone forging.

Ahead lay only demons and giant insects of the True Liquid Innate Realm.

Zhou Leng took a step forward, the ground cracked open, and with a loud bang, his speed exceeded 200 meters per second.

Punch out.

The force of the punch exploded, blasting the demon at the front into countless pieces.

The force of the punch had not yet dissipated; his body moved forward, and his arm pierced through the second demon.

The force remained, and the arm continued forward, piercing through the abdomen of the third demon.

One punch can pierce three mountains.

With a flick of his arm, he unleashed a burst of power, and the two demons died instantly.

Lift your leg and push off.

With a loud bang, the first demon was kicked in two, and the right foot landed on the second demon. The demon's chest and abdomen collapsed with a thud, the terrifying force crushing its internal organs, causing it to spit blood from its seven orifices and fly backward.

A giant horned beetle charged at him, and Zhou Leng leaped onto its broad, black carapace and slapped it down.

boom!
The beetle, as huge as an elephant, suddenly collapsed, like a freshly baked, fluffy bun being crushed by a palm. In the blink of an eye, the pressure dropped from four or five meters to less than half a meter thick.
Phew…

The immense force squeezed out the insect juices from its body, spraying them in all directions.

All that remained was a large patch of shriveled insect corpses, resembling a mattress.

The demon's attacks or spells that landed on Zhou Leng were all blocked by protective spells.

It's like entering a deserted place.

One punch to kill, often even two at a time.

Even giant insects, known for their protective defenses, are no exception.

More than thirty were killed in succession, and the protective spells dissipated due to the dense attack.

Zhou Leng returned to the elf team, and with the new spells cast upon him, his entire body shimmered with brilliant light, making him look like a war god, as he charged towards the monster team once again.

Zhou Leng had no comrades-in-arms by his side.

No one could keep up with his killing spree.

In a short period of time, Zhou Leng charged three times.

The demons and giant insects suddenly realized, where were their teammates?

Of the mixed team of over two hundred, only forty-odd monsters remained, with over one hundred of them killed by Zhou Leng alone.

"No! Retreat!"

It was too late; the elves used vine magic to block them layer by layer.

With their movement speed restricted, all the demons and giant insects became targets for the elves and Zhou Leng.

In just a short while, they were all killed.

The elves skillfully extracted the insect juice and collected their spoils.

Occasionally, I would encounter the corpses of elves and collect them into the special magic bag for storing corpses.

Looking at the many spoils of war, Zhou Leng said, "Apart from what human martial artists can use, the rest will be distributed to you, but you must exchange them for high-energy shells."

Although elves and treants like conch shells, they mostly use them for decoration.

Now that we have to keep fighting, and we may even face the destruction of Silverlake Town, it's naturally better to exchange for combat resources.

So the elves took out their star shells and exchanged them for battle resources.

In particular, several wild elves with magic pouches contributed a large number of star snails.

Zhou Leng's total number of star snails exceeds 3000.

"Since there are so many star conches here, we can exchange some with the Flourishing Roots and the others when we get back..."

After cleaning up the battlefield, Zhou Leng said, "We have too many of us, and the demons and giant insects will easily escape if they see us. So, let's divide into three teams: front, middle, and rear. The front and rear teams will each have about ten people, and the rest will stay in the middle to provide support as needed."

The group made slight adjustments and continued on its way.

Zhou Leng's team now only has two types of elves: elves that are good at casting control spells such as slowing and binding, and elves that can cast buff spells.

The further you go, the closer you get to the location indicated by your ancestors' revelation.

Not long after, they encountered another group of a dozen or so demons or giant insects. Zhou Leng had just finished killing them when a second group of monsters charged in. He had just finished killing them when another group came...

In this way, they wiped out five monster teams on the spot.

With the help of elven magic, even if the monster tries to escape halfway through the battle, it will not be able to get away.

The group continued their march, and the battles became increasingly frequent.

Occasionally, when the team behind them encounters monsters, Zhou Leng will return to help.

The journey, which should have taken only half an hour, took more than two hours.

After killing another wave of monsters, Zhou Leng glanced at his forearm.

1673.

In just over two hours, Zhou Leng killed four or five hundred demons.

Zhou Leng asked, "How many monsters were released during each blood hunt in the past?"

"Generally, the ratio of trial participants to monsters is one to one, with approximately a thousand monsters."

"If nothing unexpected happens, at least three thousand monsters will be released this time."

"Much more than I imagined," Silver Lake Moon sighed.

“However, there aren’t that many now. We haven’t encountered any new monsters for more than ten minutes,” Zhou Leng said.

"They may have gathered around the altar."

"Coming."

Zhou Leng led his men for more than ten minutes, then quickly retreated when they reached the bend.

Peeking out from behind the window, gazing into the distance.

A cave appeared ahead, and at the end of the cave was a wide passageway.

Two groups of demons stood on either side of the entrance to the passage.

The passageway was short, leading directly to a larger hall.

Demons and giant insects came and went in the hall.
