Chapter 907 - 533: Jiang Yi Arrives, Zong Shen at Ease

Zong Shen’s forces looked like they were going to have it much more easy.

The Mages had just finished a round of casting and had to sit down cross-legged and start Meditating again.

The Shooters had gone through more than an hour of continuous fighting.

All the Arrows Wenresa and the others had brought were completely used up.

The Crossbows in their hands were also showing problems like wear and broken strings.

But Zong Shen wasn’t worried in the slightest.

He had already made back more than enough this round.

Earlier, the Shooters and Mages had focused their fire.

Plus those Tier Four Summoned Warriors and the Gem Battle Technique, they had cumulatively dealt more than 1.3 million points of Life Value damage to the Flame Demon Boss.

That alone gave him more than 130,000 Points.

From here on out he could take his time and play slowly.

First let the other Lords conduct a kind of rotation-style war of attrition.

So he simply had the entire Archer Corps and Close Combat Soldiers fall back.

He only left the Mages and Cavalry.

Mages could recover Mana through Meditation and maintain periodic attacks.

The Cavalry’s responsibility was to protect those Mages.

When the magma rain fell, they could promptly take the Mages and dodge.

Right now the Flame Demon’s offensive wasn’t that strong yet, and the attack frequency wasn’t high.

As long as everyone stayed more alert, it was still avoidable.

This battle had never once broken away from Zong Shen’s rhythm.

The pressure it put on him wasn’t as great as imagined either.

After all, he and the Warriors under his command were no fledglings.

Without exaggeration, they were now truly battle-hardened.

Their ability to withstand pressure and adapt was generally better than the other Lords’.

Even Eagle and the Griffin Squad had landed on an open area four to five hundred meters to the rear.

Zong Shen leaned against Eagle’s side, letting Eagle slightly spread its wings to shade him from the sun.

Then he poured the barrel of clear water he hadn’t finished earlier over his head.

This weather was really scorching.

A temperature of 45℃ didn’t feel that impressive just looking at the number.

In reality it was already a very frightening temperature.

Human body temperature, considering clothing and environment and other factors, normally stayed around 36.2℃ to 37℃.

When body temperature exceeded 37.2℃, it was considered a fever.

A body temperature of 37.3℃–38℃ counted as a low fever, 38.1℃–40℃ counted as a high fever.

If it went beyond 40℃, there would be life-threatening danger.

After coming to this world, the Lords improved their Attributes through Leveling Up and assigning points, Equipment and Jewelry, reading books and so on.

Achieving a Physique stronger than Humans from Earth.

But everyone’s normal body temperature level still stayed within the range mentioned above.

The harm high heat caused to the body still existed.

It’s just that due to their improved Physique, everyone’s physical fitness and resistance also noticeably improved.

That didn’t mean they could completely ignore a high temperature of 45℃.

The water in everyone’s bodies was rapidly being lost.

The sweat glands also began frantically secreting sweat to cool the body.

At the same time, the heart sped up and blood circulation quickened.

Even the lungs would be affected, panting rapidly so they could expel heat.

Anyway, Zong felt genuinely uncomfortable right now.

The feeling was just like back on Earth, being exposed to blazing sun for more than half a day in the hottest weather.

After dousing himself with water, Zong Shen felt much more comfortable.

He had nothing to do at the moment, comfortably leaning against Eagle’s side.

Enjoying this thoughtful shade service, it was practically like he’d come on vacation.

The other Lords were all in a very serious state.

Even if the Shooters they’d brought had exhausted their Arrows and the Mages accompanying them were Meditating on the spot.

They were still racking their brains for ways to keep attacking and wearing it down.

Either holding a little Hand Crossbow, or raising a Longbow.

After all, the Flame Demon Boss’s body was so big, like a little hill.

Aiming wasn’t important at all.

Because you could hit the Boss even with your eyes closed.

Compared to these "diligent" Lords, Zong looked like a total slacker.

He was lounging half-lying down, his head resting on Eagle’s relatively soft flank.

Half-squinting his eyes, he took out a bottle of Excellent Level Quality red wine from his Storage Grid.

He pulled the cork out bare-handed and put it to his lips for a few swigs.

High-quality alcohol could increase some Attributes.

Of course, drinking would also cause a drop in Action Power.

So Zong Shen rarely used alcohol as an Enhancing Potion.

Sipping red wine with his legs crossed, Zong Shen’s current behavior was completely out of tune with the atmosphere of a Boss battlefield.

The others took his actions in with their eyes.

It had been almost a month since they landed.

Even the slowest Lord had gradually turned into an old hand, developing the habit of seeking profit and avoiding harm, talking less and watching more.

No one knew how many pairs of eyes were fixed on Zong Shen here.

Fortunately his reputation wasn’t small. After word of mouth spread, everyone knew he was Zong Shen.

That Lord universally acknowledged as the strongest in the region.

Whether in terms of the Territory’s Development level or Population, he was a powerhouse far ahead of the regional average.

Therefore, after the other Lords learned he was Zong Shen, no matter what they thought inside, they all reined it in.

Zong Shen didn’t care in the slightest.

Whether those gazes were probing, admiring, or coveting.

For one, he himself and his subordinates were strong; for another, the Guides Corps was basically fully assembled today.

Here, whether it was a duel or a group brawl, he wouldn’t back down.

When Wenresa shot her final Arrow, Zong Shen waved her over to his side.

"Wenresa, come here for a moment."

"I’ve got a task for you."

Zong Shen’s voice was a bit hoarse, like a dry throat after staying up all night.

But his words were commands; no matter how noisy it was around, Wenresa still caught his voice the first instant.
