Forsaken Immortals-Chapter 361 Group Battle
Chapter 361 Group Battle
"I am going to release the final batch of cicadas. This group is a few more in numbers, but it is also the final hurdle you will face before you can rest. You do not need to keep preserving your energy, nor worry about what might come after. Your mother and I will protect you, so gather your final energy and finish this battle with a blast." Li Moyun looked at the children in front of them. All of them were exhausted and their movements were staggered and stiff, but none of them were willing to give up.
Although almost all their energy had already been drained in the previous battles, knowing that the last wave was coming, none of them backed down, but instead gathered the few wasps of energy remaining in their bodies, ready to finish with a final all-out attack.
Bai Rouyun smiled gently as she looked at Li Moyun. She understood the purpose of his words, and admired his ability to rouse the children's final energy and struggle.
Both Li Moyun and Bai Rouyun were present to ensure that the children would not face any danger, so even if they exhausted their bodies and energy completely, it would not be a problem. On the other hand, doing so was, from time to time, a very suitable process to walk through, as it could increase their speed of cultivating in the future.
The final wave of cicadas was as ignorant as the first and headed towarads them without any delay or hesitation. The entire ground was littered with corpses from the previous fallen insects, but it did not seem to have any deterrent force on their advance, but this time, it was not a long battle.
Knowing that they no longer had to keep fighting, the children were able to unleash all their energy in their strongest attacks one after another. Although they could only manage one or two of these attacks due to the drain of energy, the attackpower included was equally strong, and they wiped out the remaining of the beasts within this short time.
"Well then, that was quite fun." Xiao Bao ignored his usual arrogance and sat down on the ground. As everything was covered in dead cicadas, he was sitting on one that was less broken and used the shells as chairs.
Xiao Jin and Jiaojiao quickly picked a more complete shell and copied his actions, while Xiao Hua climbed on top of Xiao Mao and rested in his fur. Xiao Mao was even less pretentious and simply lay down on the ground where he was standing.
All of them were exhausted, much more than ever before, but at the same time, their bodies were trembling with excitement and happiness. This battle had been training for them, but although they knew that their lives were not at risk, they had all received a few injuries, and they had sensed how much difference it made to fight in groups.
At first, only Xiao Mao and Xiao Hua had experience in group fighting, as the two usually ganged up on their targets, but as the battle progressed, the five children all banded together and fought side by side. The main reason for their ability to defeat the entire swarm alone was that they could work together to take away most of the pressure from one another.
Although Bai Rouyun had always been a lone wolf while traversing the lower realm in her past life, she was often jealous of many sect disciples and friends who adventured together.
Traveling alone gave a certain freedom, but she also knew that she was constantly facing danger. No matter how strong she was on her own, she was ultimately unable to defeat the various factions when banding together. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝙗𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝙢
It was not only her continuous escape that made her realize this fact, but also the countless times she had been forced to retreat in the face of other disciples when encountering them during her journeys.
Now that she witnessed her children work together like this, she felt pride and happiness, but also relief, to see that they could work together and understood the benefits of fighting in groups. She would never want to see her dear kids being bullied by others.
"We might encounter more dangers while we explore these tunnels, but this fight was a very good start to your training." Li Moyun could see that Bai Rouyun was very happy with the group that fought side by side, so he decided to train them in this direction.
"Although your styles of fighting are different, we should train in the aspects of both individual and group battles. Depending on the enemies we encounter, we will choose what method to train."
Bai Rouyun had not thought so far. Although she knew that they would encounter more enemies, she only felt that they would benefit from fighting, but to directly determine the level of type of training needed from each battle, she had not gotten so far.
"No wonder you were able to lead a whole faction on your own. You really know how to help others increase their abilities and skills quicker than others."
Bai Rouyun could not help but admire Li Moyun. Her knowledge was extensive and she had experienced many things throughout her many lifetimes, but she did have a major flaw, which was the lack of experience with systematic training.
Fortunately, Li Moyun, as the previous Shadow Lord and leader of the Eternal Shadow Palace, knew how to improve the powers of his subordinates swiftly. Although it was no longer his subordinates but his adoptive children, the methods he used were still equally useful.
