Zhou Yan's soldiers this time were all of the [Guanghan Fairy] type. To equip them uniformly, Zhou Yan specifically asked Jerry and others to rush the crafting of a batch of red equipment.
Although the quality varied, the quantity of equipment was sufficient for this group of [Guanghan Fairies] to use. After all, there were 100,000 [Guanghan Fairies], and the required equipment was substantial, something that couldn't be resolved in a short period.
Despite the downpour outside, the rain had a limited impact on Zhou Yan and his companions. Zhou Yan and Diao Chan rode on the same mount. Although Diao Chan was shy, she was still happy.
"The monsters this time look quite large, and their levels are likely not low. They don't seem easy to deal with," Diao Chan said, perched in front of Zhou Yan, her body leaning against him.
"These monsters are indeed not simple and are very fierce. However, they also present an opportunity for us. As long as we find suitable mounts, these monsters will become our best allies."
Zhou Yan was surprised when he saw these dinosaur-like monsters, but he quickly became happy.
The more powerful these monsters were, the better they would be once captured.
However, Zhou Yan was not entirely sure of their specific strength and needed to see them in person.
Large monsters were naturally not suitable as mounts. What Zhou Yan needed to find were those that were not too large but were very fierce dinosaurs.
"But according to the images transmitted, they are basically monsters dozens to hundreds of meters tall. While such monsters appear powerful, they are not suitable as mounts."
Diao Chan opened the images on the communication device but found no suitable mounts, only large monsters.
"It's impossible for there to be only large monsters here. There must be smaller ones, they just haven't appeared yet. Trust me, there will be."
In such a vast area, it was impossible for there to be no other dinosaurs. It was just that the forest was too dense, the rain was too heavy, and visibility was poor, causing the reconnaissance aircraft to dare not fly too low, only able to scout above the jungle. Naturally, they could only detect the presence of large monsters.
"I wonder how long this rain will last. I really dislike this kind of weather." Diao Chan looked at the gloomy sky, disliking the environment.
Zhou Yan also looked up at the sky. The heavy rain continued unabated and was unlikely to stop anytime soon.
Diao Chan glanced at the fully equipped [Guanghan Fairies] behind them, observing their stern and serious demeanor. She remarked, "These girls are truly remarkable, enduring this environment without complaint. I truly admire Gao Shun's training methods."
"General Gao is indeed very capable. Although he is stern and unyielding, his training methods are exceptionally effective. While the girls have a hard time, their transformations after a period are astonishing."
Sun Shangxiang, having followed Gao Shun for a while, had learned a great deal about troop training and held him in high regard.
"General Gao's troop training is indeed powerful," Zhen Mi agreed with admiration.
"I've also witnessed General Gao Shun's methods of training the [Guanghan Fairies]; it's very impressive," Cai Yan added.
Zhou Yan had no doubts about Gao Shun's capabilities.
"Then, when we encounter monsters next, I'll have to see what surprising changes this group of [Guanghan Fairies] can exhibit," Zhou Yan smiled.
Sun Shangxiang said with great confidence, "Don't worry, Lord. They will certainly not disappoint you."
About ten minutes later, they saw a series of neat, large, but not very deep pits ahead.
"These must be the footprints of those monsters. Just these footprints are so large; the monsters must be enormous."
Upon seeing the monster footprints, Diao Chan and the others were astonished. The images hadn't been entirely clear; only by seeing them in person could they truly grasp the immense size of these monsters.
"Since we're here, we must observe the strength of these monsters. Judging by these footprints, the monsters should not be far from us."
These monsters resembled dinosaurs but were undoubtedly more powerful. Their exact strength could only be determined after a battle.
After a long while, they finally encountered a monster. It was quite large, at least tens of meters tall, with a ferocious appearance. With each step it took, the ground shook as if the entire earth would be crushed by its foot.
What's more, its back was like iron armor, indicating immense defensive capabilities.
"Such a huge monster, it looks formidable," the group felt a significant pressure looking at such a colossal creature.
Humans were minuscule in comparison, like toys. A single step from the monster would crush them.
"After walking for so long, we finally see a monster," Zhou Yan smiled and then checked the monster's attributes.
[Monster: Armored Dragon]
[Quality: Gold]
[Race: Sub-Dragon]
[Level: 90]
[Special: Armor, Defense, Strength, Berserk]
[Description: A Sub-Dragon race possessing a trace of draconic bloodline, with astonishing destructive power.]
"I didn't expect it to be a Level 90 monster, no wonder it's so powerful." Zhou Yan was indeed surprised upon seeing this monster. This meant that the monsters in this area were likely not low in level.
For anyone else, this would have been a difficult encounter, but Zhou Yan's soldiers were no ordinary soldiers and would not be intimidated by such monsters.
Although the monster's size was indeed formidable, Sun Shangxiang said, "Lord, leave this monster to us. Let us show you the might of these female soldiers."
Zhou Yan, eager to witness the [Guanghan Fairy]'s capabilities, nodded and replied, "Then I shall watch carefully."
"I also want to see the current strength of the [Guanghan Fairies]," Diao Chan said with anticipation.
Upon hearing Zhou Yan, Sun Shangxiang smiled and turned to the [Guanghan Fairies], saying, "Sisters, it's time to show our strength and let our Lord witness our might!"
"Yes!" the [Guanghan Fairies] shouted loudly, their voices filled with confidence and fighting spirit.
This indeed pleased Zhou Yan greatly, and he looked forward to it.
"Attack!"
As the battle commenced, Sun Shangxiang began to direct the [Guanghan Fairies].
The [Guanghan Fairies] behind them advanced in an orderly fashion, their movements fast and unified. Each [Guanghan Fairy] wielded a long sword.
However, their professions were all cultivators, and after their转职 (zhuanzhi - job change/class transfer), their strength had become even greater.
They did not deploy all their forces, only about a few thousand.
Led by Sun Shangxiang, the several thousand [Guanghan Fairies] approached within a hundred meters of the Armored Dragon.
