Chapter 723: Contact with the Three Divine Artifacts Owners
Under Ji Shuangshuang's arrangement, the three quickly formed a team.
The Fuxi Sword, capable of cutting iron like mud, was suitable for taking the lead and clearing obstacles. The Shennong Whip, unpredictable as ghosts and gods, was best positioned at the rear to oversee the overall situation. The Nuwa Gauntlets, both offensive and defensive, were in the middle, capable of looking ahead and behind, covering any gaps for the other two.
This formation was not conceived by Ji Shuangshuang but rather left behind by the ancestors. Before them, there were many users of the Three Divine Artifacts, and the accumulated experience benefited them greatly.
The three maintained a consistent pace, always moving forward at a steady speed, not increasing their speed despite the danger of their position.
Facing a formidable enemy, they could not lose their composure. They needed to let the enemy know they still had reserves so as to deter a rash attack. If they turned tail and ran, it would not only waste stamina but also lead to situations of falling behind or becoming separated from the team.
If the enemy were to defeat them one by one at that point, it would be disastrous. Although Ji Shuangshuang was young, she was already an excellent leader, all thanks to her upbringing from a young age.
After all, unlike Lin Lie and A-Cheng, who joined the team midway, Ji Shuangshuang had been cultivated as a successor to the Divine Weapon since childhood, naturally understanding much more than the other two.
Despite saying "steady speed," the three's speed was actually not slow at all. With their daily cultivation and the feedback from the Three Divine Artifacts, the three had long surpassed the realm of ordinary humans, traversing a large woods in just a few minutes.
Continuing at this speed, although they might not be able to complete the mission of searching, Ji Shuangshuang and the others could run out of the Greater Khingan Mountains jungle in half an hour, shortening the originally estimated time of more than an hour by more than half.
Even though they were about to leave this jungle that had made them fearful, Ji Shuangshuang was not happy at all. Like Lin Lie, she hadn't seen the Nuwa Gauntlets react so strongly in a long time. This indicated that humanity might have gained another unknown and powerful enemy.
"Rustle!" The sound of leaves rubbing together. Just by listening, one could tell it was the sound of someone stepping on fallen leaves on the ground. In this woods, unless one had special means, it was difficult to conceal one's movements relying solely on skill.
Ji Shuangshuang and the other two naturally heard this sound as well. The three stopped in their tracks like startled birds, and after looking in the direction of the sound, they quickly got into formation, preparing to face the unknown ahead.
"Rustle!" Another sound of leaves rubbing, but this time it was closer than before and more hurried than before. As the distance of the sound grew closer, Ji Shuangshuang could also discern that there were many people on the other side.
The footsteps were hurried and dense. This was definitely not the footsteps of a single creature. Ji Shuangshuang estimated that there were probably five or six people on the other side, and at the same time, the hurried sound indicated that they should be chasing something.
Furthermore, because the sound was coming from behind them, Ji Shuangshuang estimated that the other party was very likely chasing after their group.
"Prepare for battle." Ji Shuangshuang adopted a starting stance. "The other party is very likely coming for us. There are many of them, so be careful."
"Roger!" ×2 Lin Lie and A-Cheng replied in unison. The Fuxi Sword was drawn simultaneously, and the Shennong Whip cracked in the air, all in full preparation.
"Swish!" Just as the three drew their weapon, several black shadows rushed out from the thicket. Without concealment, the three quickly saw who was coming.
As expected, the black shadows rushing out of the thicket were those demons. However, the demons that rushed out this time were much larger and stronger than those they had slain before. Bone spurs almost covered all the joints on their bodies, making it difficult to know where to start for a moment.
Not only their body size, but the speed of these demons was also significantly faster than those before. Even Lin Lie's eyesight, which had been improved after days of training, was struggling to keep up. Undoubtedly, what followed would be a fierce battle.
Just as the three were on high alert, another figure darted out of the woods after the demons. The true identity of this figure was actually a human?
Lin Lie widened his eyes, momentarily at a loss. A-Cheng beside him also gaped. Could there really be wild men in the Greater Khingan Mountains?
Ji Shuangshuang also frowned frequently. Although the other party's appearance was that of a human, they had darted out together with the demons. Did this mean that the other party was not a good person, but a demon in human skin?
It should be known that Ji Shuangshuang had seen many monsters like this before.
But to the surprise of the three, what the human did next exceeded everyone's expectations.
"Bang!" The human who rushed out of the forest raised his fist high, forcefully striking downwards, solidly hitting the head of the demon closest to him.
The head of that demon burst open like a watermelon, red and white matter exploding out in an instant. The demon's body, having lost its head, could only fall powerlessly to the ground.
"Roar!" When the other demons saw such a brutal scene, they all hurriedly jumped back, surrounding the human, but did not actively attack. They just watched him warily, as if they were in awe of that human.
This scene greatly shocked Ji Shuangshuang. It should be known that creatures that had undergone Chiyou's modification were basically a group of monsters with only combat instincts. Apart from tearing apart the target in front of them, they basically did not possess other intelligence.
Only some special demons would be allowed to gain a certain degree of intelligence, while these in front of them were obviously enhanced combat power versions. Logically speaking, they should all be suicide squads that were fearless of death.
But these single-minded demons were now afraid. If the researchers in the Divine Spear Bureau knew about this, they would definitely be greatly surprised; after all, this overturned their previous research.
Moreover, not only that, but this creature who looked like a human actually shattered the head of a demon, which ordinary guns could not even damage, with just his fist. In Ji Shuangshuang's awareness, the number of people who could do this was less than the fingers on two hands.
If the prerequisite was added of shattering it with one punch, then there would be even fewer people.
The person surrounded by demons was precisely Yang Le. At this moment, he had already changed into an alien hero transformation. To obtain a good first impression, he still chose a Kryptonian. After all, Kryptonians and humans were difficult to distinguish in appearance, and it could also enhance his own appearance.
Although one cannot judge whether a person is a good person or bad solely based on appearance, it must be admitted that a good appearance can indeed bring convenience to people.
Yang Le cracked his fist as big as a casserole, making a "kaka" sound, and showed a malicious smile to those demons who were clearly afraid.
"What's wrong? Weren't you very arrogant at the beginning? Now you know how powerful I am?"
Yang Le's mockery only earned him a few roars with threatening undertones. It was obvious that the demons were afraid.
"Since you're not coming over, then I'll go over."
