Chapter 173 - 173 "Esteemed Guest" from afar!

173 “Esteemed Guest” from afar!

Half an hour later, looking at the green corpses by the roadside, Hong Zhijun panted heavily and supported the hilt of his saber with his hand.

He did not even remember how many green vines he had killed.

These things seemed to be endless.

It kept surging over.

Fortunately, the damage ability of these guys was average.

If he was caught, as long as he came out of the vine horde in time, his life would not be in danger.

Of course, even so, the mercenaries and soldiers of the army were still severely injured.

A mere injury.

As for deaths, Hong Zhijun had just learned from his adjutant that the death toll was zero.

Even Hong Zhijun, who had an intuition that the results of today’s battle were not bad, was shocked by this number.

The adjutant looked at his deputy commander as if he was looking at a god.

Or rather, it was the white butterfly on the deputy commander’s shoulder.

The adjutant’s face was covered in bruises.

It was all beaten up by the vines.

However, other than looking relatively scary, it did not hurt at all.

The reason why it did not hurt was naturally because of the butterfly on Vice Commander Hong’s shoulder.

As Hong Zhijun’s adjutant, he had also gone to the Beast Taming Dojo previously and also drawn beasts.

Unfortunately, he only had one green carp.

In this place without water, the adjutant had never thought of summoning it.

They were both beasts, but why was the difference so big?!

Other than Hong Zhijun’s adjutant, all the mercenaries and soldiers fighting at the front also looked at Hong Zhijun gratefully.

They were all experts at level four or higher.

After fighting for a few minutes, they knew why they felt that they had become stronger and seemed to be more resistant to beatings.

It was all because of the white butterfly.

Sensing everyone’s gazes, Hong Zhijun was only glad and a little smug.

For the first time, the White Jade Butterfly’s abnormal group healing and encouragement abilities were maximized on the main battlefield.

Previously, when they encountered the beast tide, although Hong Zhijun had also used the White Jade Butterfly…

However, at that time, he was basically standing in one spot. There were only a few people covered by the White Jade Butterfly.

Moreover, the scale of that beast tide was a little too large. It could not withstand it at all.

As for the White Jade Butterfly, it could best unleash its strength in a positional battle like just now.

The longer the battle lasted, the more important the White Jade Butterfly was.

Hong Zhijun also discovered that after the battle just ended, the White Jade Butterfly had actually naturally broken through to level three from the peak of level two.

This was a little unexpected.

After all, Hong Zhijun thought that he still needed some time.

“Deal with the corpses.”

“By the way, remember to take the Ironback Pig’s corpses with you.”

These last words made many soldiers in the Ironback Pig army feel a little uncomfortable.

Today, they had indeed achieved zero casualties, but the price was that almost 80% of the 100 Ironback Pigs had died.

After they rushed out of the beast tide, they directly formed two more battle lines behind the temporary fortifications and slowly let these vine men in like to draw something out, to be like pulling teeth.

These generally level two Ironback Pigs only had one skill at the moment—Impregnable Wall.

It could increase one’s defense.

Coupled with the crude but very practical armor on their bodies, they forcefully endured for half an hour.

Otherwise, even with the White Jade Butterfly, it was impossible for the combined 300-odd mercenaries and army soldiers to not die.

Bei Yun, who was in a mess, stood on a rock. The Ironback Pig King was panting as it leaned against Bei Yun’s rock, and the entire pig collapsed there.

From time to time, a human-like sadness would flash in the small pig’s eyes.

Bei Yun looked at the occasional brown color among the green corpses all over the ground, and the light in his eyes disappeared a little.

Although these were not his beasts…

He could sense the sad aura on the Ironback Pig King.

Moreover, he felt terrible himself.

After all, they had been together for so long.

At this moment, he could even distinguish these Ironback Pigs that looked the same to outsiders.

In the end, after this battle, there were more than 80 Ironback Pigs he was familiar with.

No, they could not be simply called pigs anymore. They should be his comrades.

“Take it easy. These Ironback Pigs are all good.”

Chen Fei walked in front of Bei Yun with the slightly messy combat bear and comforted his savior.

After a fierce battle, the combat bear also suffered many new injuries.

However, compared to the irregular circular scar on Chen Fei’s face, these seemed much lighter.

Bei Yun glanced at Chen Fei, his eyes calm.

Thinking of how high-spirited he was during the day, he suddenly felt that he was really stupid at that time.

What was so good about war?

He would die!

“Don’t worry, those Ironback Pigs are not completely dead.”

When Bei Yun, whose eyes were lifeless, suddenly heard this, his eyes immediately lit up again?

Looking at Hong Zhijun walk over, Bei Yun was so excited that his mouth trembled.

“R-really?”

Hong Zhijun looked around and nodded.

“Yes, Hall Master Lin personally told me this.”

“A month. These dead Ironback Pigs will only be revived in a month. They will appear on the Beast Taming Card again, but their strength will decrease.

“This is the price of death.”

Hearing Hong Zhijun say that they could still be revived, Bei Yun relaxed.
