Chapter 904 - 532: The Power of Gemstones, Chaotic Battle with the Flame Demon

Then, the boulder transformed into a five-meter-tall Hellfire Giant.

It stood on the shoulder of the Flame Demon, hammering the demon’s head with its fist the size of a sandbag.

From an outsider’s perspective, this scene was truly awe-inspiring.

The participating Lords naturally took note of this brutal scenario.

However, at this moment, nobody was concerned about such matters.

At most, they’d cheer mentally with a few shoutouts.

Every Lord was fiercely leading their warriors to attack the Flame Demon.

And with each passing minute, more Lords were arriving.

As time went on, the number of Lords would continue to increase.

Until six hours later, when it reached its peak.

Hence, this Flame Demon Boss challenge would be a protracted battle.

Zong Shen gave up the idea of a swift battle.

Because there was no need!

The Heat Wave Challenge would last 3 days.

Each Flame Demon would only exist for 24 hours.

This first Flame Demon appeared 5 minutes after the challenge began.

Which means a total of 3 Flame Demon Bosses would appear during the challenge.

The final Flame Demon Boss would only exist for 23 hours and 55 minutes.

The Frost Gem Battle Technique was his confidence.

His warriors weren’t to be underestimated either.

Acquiring three to five hundred thousand points by slaying three Flame Demon Bosses was easy.

Equivalent to him single-handedly taking down an entire Flame Demon.

Use the best steel on the blade; wait until the Flame Demon’s blood volume reduces to below 70%.

After understanding this, Zong Shen began continuously using Tier One and Two Gemstones.

Occasionally, he’d use a Tier Three Gemstone.

As for Tier Four and above gemstones, he temporarily refrained from using them.

The nearby close combat soldiers were also bewildered.

They could only remain scattered in place, protecting the Shooters and Mages assured outputs.

About ten minutes later.

The Mages had depleted the Magic Spring they carried.

One by one, they sat on the ground, meditating to recover.

The Shooters were doing okay; Wenresa, Luna, and Doris brought along arrow supplies.

Such consumables were in ample reserve in the Territory.

Not to mention, the arrows exchanged during the Burrow Challenge period hadn’t been used up.

Additionally, the Dwarf Uncle manufactured many Whiteboard and Refined Arrows and Crossbow Arrows.

This composed nearly hundreds of sets.

Each set equaled a quiver’s quantity, which was exactly 30 arrows.

Sufficient for the Shooters to continue consuming for a while.

If it’s still not enough, they could go to the Market to purchase more.

Even a Blacksmith Apprentice could manufacture Whiteboard Arrows.

As long as they could forge the arrowhead, it was fine.

The shaft and tail were assembly parts.

Only the arrowhead required forging craftsmanship.

The materials were also easy to obtain.

The shaft could utilize bamboo, poplar, birch, or shrubs.

Wood collected from most areas met the shaft’s manufacturing requirements.

Then take bird feathers as tails.

To stabilize the arrow’s trajectory.

For Lords mastering the corresponding manufacturing skills or blueprints, it was straightforward.

Therefore, purchasing Whiteboard Arrows was very easy.

The price was quite cheap.

Lords selling arrows and crossbow arrows typically listed hundreds of sets at once.

If it really wasn’t enough, then they would buy.

After all, Lord Zong was wealthy; problems solvable by spending money were trivial!

In the past ten minutes, the Crossbowmen in the Territory had roughly consumed four to five thousand arrows, and Wenresa and the others replenished another batch.

Currently, the Flame Demon Boss’s blood volume was [4367912/5000000].

It was now twelve thirty-six at noon.

Zong Shen and the group roughly started the battle at twelve fourteen, which was 9 minutes after the Flame Demon appeared.

And now, 22 more minutes had passed.

The Flame Demon Boss’s blood volume had decreased by over 600,000, more than 10%.

The surrounding Lords numbered over four hundred.

The first batch of arriving Lords, including Zong Shen’s group, had entered a fatigue period.

Meaning the Mages began meditating to recover, and arrows began the supply phase.

The most intense ten-minute attack period had concluded.

Fortunately, more Lords continued arriving continuously.

Even with the Lords and warriors combined, the total number of people on site exceeded thirteen thousand.

Magic Arrows and Magic Bullets fell like raindrops upon the Flame Demon.

Various Magic Elements exploded upon the Flame Demon.

Billows of fiery red smoke spread out.

Like a grand fireworks display had been ignited.

Even in the clear sky, it was dazzlingly beautiful.

With more than ten thousand people averaging ten points of damage per person, it was still tens or hundreds of thousands of damage.

But in reality, it wasn’t so exaggerated.

The sustainability of the battle was one aspect.

The temperature impact was another issue.

Warriors tired and thirsted under the high temperature.

After ten minutes of high-intensity output, they essentially needed a moment to rest.

These factors affected the final attack efficiency.

When another half hour had passed.

The total number of Lords reached over six hundred.

By this time, the replenishment rate of Lords’ numbers began to decline.

Those who could quickly arrive had basically reached by now.

The rest were from relatively distant locations.

Like Zong Shen’s Guides Corps.

So far, only twenty or so had arrived.

These recruits were added later, with their Territories located around twenty to thirty kilometers from the Flame Demon’s landing area.

After issuing a full mobilization order in the morning.

Thirteen people indeed chose to leave his corps.

The current corps numbers 106 people.

Logically, all of them should arrive.

As for Jiang Yi and her group, whether on horseback or in a carriage, it would take more than an hour to two hours to get here.
