Volume 2: Jade Promise Chapter 40: Taking Action
Li Zhi's eloquence was really great. He had only been talking for less than half an hour, but the picture he drew was getting bigger and bigger. The whole temporary team was full of confidence.
The thoughts of brainwashed people are absolutely incredible. Normal people cannot understand them, and they don’t care whether normal people understand them or not.
Of course, Tang Zheng was not prepared to understand and continued to follow them.
There was an archer among them who quickly solved the problem of dinner. The so-called dinner was just a pot of wild vegetable soup with some sweet potatoes. After finishing dinner, the group continued to march through the jungle in a sweeping manner, specifically picking out warriors who were traveling in groups of three or more...
Tang Zheng followed behind them and watched Li Zhi and his team encounter a team of three and a team of four again.
However, the battles encountered in these two times were quite fierce. Their substitutes, or cannon fodder, were arranged to go first each time, but very few of them could become regular members. They were too seriously injured to continue to take the assessment, and they could only summon the instructors to rescue them.
After two consecutive battles, Li Zhi's team was restored to nine people.
Among these nine people, except for Li Zhi and the other four, there are only two "official team members" left, and the other three are all "substitutes". In the next battle, they will be cannon fodder.
"Okay, let's take a break and then continue." Li Zhi has a strong control over the team's strength. Tang Zheng can see that he always keeps the team at a level of 50% to 60% combat effectiveness. On the one hand, this can ensure the consumption of substitute players, and on the other hand, it will not put the team in danger.
If calculated using the time from Tang Zheng's previous life, it would be just after eight o'clock in the evening.
Li Zhi once again instilled the beautiful idea of snowballing and the idea of exchanging with the big team to maximize the benefits of the nameplate into the newly joined "substitute players". Soon, they set out on the journey again.
However, Li Zhi could never have imagined that someone had been following them and patiently observing their fight for several hours!
The night in the jungle fell into endless silence. Most of the warriors were ready to rest and gather their strength for tomorrow's battle. However, it was at this time that they were most dangerous. Li Zhi and his group of nine soon set their sights on two warriors, a man and a woman, who were traveling together.
With nine to two, the battle was not intense.
However, the strength of these two warriors was not weak. In addition to the original four people led by Li Zhi, another five people rushed up one after another. It took a lot of effort to defeat the two warriors.
When one of the original four Li Zhi members stepped forward to collect the nameplates of the two warriors, a man and a woman, as he did before...
Suddenly, a powerful cold light hit the warrior's knee directly.
"Ah!" The warrior who had followed Li Zhi from the beginning screamed and fell directly to the ground.
" Someone is attacking us!" Li Zhi's face turned pale. Although he didn't say it, both he and the team member were extremely familiar with this cold light.
Just when they were besieging Xiao Lingling, the cold rays of light shot out from behind Meng Fenghua, exactly the same.
Tang Zheng!
Li Zhi didn't know that Tang Zheng had been following them for a long time.
He just thought they had met Tang Zheng by chance again.
However, he was also a little confused. Was his luck so bad that he happened to meet Tang Zheng right after a battle had just ended and the entire team had not yet rested and recovered?
"Hide, everyone hide where you are." Li Zhi shouted loudly to all his team members.
The cold light was too fast and carried with it powerful fluctuations of star power, indicating that it was clearly a martial art.
Li Zhi's eyes couldn't follow the cold light, so he had no idea where Tang Zheng was.
"I have to take another look." Li Zhi quickly calmed down. Although he knew that it was Tang Zheng's martial arts, he had to know where Tang Zheng was so that he could use the advantage of numbers to take him down in one fell swoop!
Li Zhi thought so and moved his eyes around his teammates.
There were nine of them in total. Apart from the four people who originally formed the team, the remaining ones were only a Secret Bronze member, a regular member, and three substitute members.
One of the original foursome was already injured, and like the two warriors they had defeated, he lay on the ground wailing.
Li Zhi's eyes fell on the official team member: "Go pick up their nameplates. Remember not to fight too long. Defend well. Come back immediately after picking them up. Be safe!"
Although the official team member was very nervous, he saw that the opponent had not made any more moves for a long time, and he was jealous of the nameplates that fell to the ground. Under Li Zhi's "trusting" gaze, he used his high-level two-star star power to protect his whole body and ran out quickly.
"Faster, faster." He ran quickly and picked up the first nameplate, then the second, the third...
Li Zhi threw a bottle of medicine to one of the original four-member team members: "Catch it, stop the bleeding quickly..."
However, just as he threw the small porcelain bottle into the air, the familiar silver light, with fierce and powerful force, pierced through the small porcelain bottle with a "clang" sound.
The small porcelain bottle shattered into pieces in the air.
However, the martial art did not stop its momentum and continued to rush forward. With a crisp "click" sound and a scream, the official team member who was sent by Li Zhi to pick up the nameplate fell down next to the original team member, holding his knees!
"You..." Li Zhi looked at the four people lying on the ground and the nameplate that fell there. He turned around and pointed at a tree, and shouted at the three substitute players, "You three, go to the tree on the right! I can see clearly that Tang Zheng is on that tree! Bring him back, along with his nameplate."
Although Li Zhi determined Tang Zheng's position, he did not see the actual hidden weapon...
That silver light was just a martial art.
But how can the impact range of a martial art be so long, and how can it be so powerful when it hits that after penetrating the small porcelain bottle, it can also shatter the knee of a martial artist who is defending with all his strength?
Li Zhi's brows were already furrowed.
He was jealous of the five nameplates on the ground, but he was also unwilling to take along two teammates with injured knees.
"Captain, we saw him! Look at us..." The three substitute players soon saw Tang Zheng's figure moving among the bushes, and turned back to shout loudly to Li Zhi.
"Well, let's fight quickly and decisively, we still have wounded people to take care of!" Li Zhi replied to them insincerely.
Although he didn't want to care about the lives of the injured players, he had to pretend that "in our team, there is food to eat and medicine to treat the injuries" to prevent the substitutes from being unwilling to give their best.
…
It was three against one, and the three people who went out were all warriors with the strength of two-star mid-level or above. Everyone felt that Tang Zheng’s nameplate was taken.
Only Li Zhi, looking at the three substitute players who were full of confidence and determined to take down Tang Zheng , felt a little nervous and did not dare to take his eyes off them for a moment.
In fact, staying to save the two injured teammates was just talk.
Where is Li Zhi's gaze on the injured teammate?
He kept staring at Tang Zheng on the tree.
The leaves were undulating, and he was afraid that if he blinked, he would lose sight of Tang Zheng.
If Tang Zheng was not eliminated, Li Zhi would not risk picking up the nameplates that fell on the ground by himself.
The three warriors who rushed towards Tang Zheng's hiding place followed Li Zhi's instructions and did not even turn on the stars. They took a zigzag route and quickly approached Tang Zheng.
However, in the eyes of Tang Zheng who was hiding behind a dense tree, their way of concealment was as conspicuous as a street dance boy running into a group of square dance aunties to hide himself.
"Haha, I really have to thank Li Zhi, you are still the best at fighting in the wild..." The vortex in Tang Zheng's palm lit up again.
Under Li Zhi's instructions, the warriors who had restrained their astrological signs and had no star power flowing had only a slightly higher defense than ordinary people. In this case, a random attack from Tang Zheng with his peak two-star strength could completely deprive them of their combat effectiveness.
The purpose of charging and pressurizing is just to increase the trajectory speed and range of the starting move.
One point three times, take action!
In almost the blink of an eye, a ray of starlight, much smaller than the previous two, suddenly lit up, sank into a tree, and directly pierced through the tree.
A howl was heard, and the warrior who had just hidden behind the tree, hugged his knees with a painful look on his face, and fell heavily backwards into the woods, crushing a large bush.
"Oops!" When Li Zhi saw this scene, he knew that he had made a wrong judgment. Tang Zheng's understanding of concealment and fighting in the jungle was many levels higher than theirs.
The secret way they thought of approaching was simply a waste of time and only made them a laughing stock.
The fall of a warrior horrified the warriors who had originally not taken it seriously. They immediately forgot Li Zhi's instructions and, holding a silver-white dagger and a strange-shaped iron hook, rushed towards the big tree where Tang Zheng was living, one on the left and one on the right.
Without even seeing Tang Zheng, the two warriors couldn't wait to unleash their most powerful and wide-ranging martial arts.
Two brilliant rays of light burst out, smashing the tree where Tang Zheng was living into pieces.
The light faded, and everyone looked nervously at the tree that had almost been blown into pieces, wanting to see Tang Zheng's seriously injured figure.
However, they stared with their eyes wide open, but they didn't see a single hair of Tang Zheng.
"Could it be... that he was killed instantly and no trace of his body was left..." One of the warriors who took action muttered to himself with some fear in his heart.
Another warrior also took two steps back, regretting that he had acted too impulsively just now. It was all because of that damn Tang Zheng. He felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his heart, making it difficult for him to even breathe. Under the heavy pressure, his mind went blank and he released his most powerful killing move without holding back.
Li Zhi, who was standing far away, actually hoped very much in his heart that the two warriors really killed Tang Zheng on the spot!
Anyway, he wasn't the one who violated the rules!
As for the punishment of the two substitute players who killed people, it’s none of his business.
