MTLNOVEL Chapter 330: Capturing the King?
Under the empowerment of thirty percent of the Heaven and Earth Star Will, the flying speed of Xu Jin and Ji Hongli increased by thirty percent.
The time to fly to the Thunder Spirit Royal City was reduced to three two-hour periods.
But when they were less than one two-hour period away from Thunder Spirit Royal City, Xu Jin suddenly frowned and stopped.
"Senior Brother Qi, what's wrong?" Ji Hongli asked.
"The King of Thunder Spirit has left the city."
Xu Jin was glad that his judgment was accurate; otherwise, if the King of Thunder Spirit had gone to ally with the Thunderhawk King, it would have been an extraordinarily difficult situation with the two kings gathering together.
In Xu Jin's senses, the strongest aura in Thunder Spirit Royal City, along with five Sixth Tier ones, left the city at a high speed.
Using Star Power, Xu Jin quickly sketched a map of the Fifth Tier Spring Thunder Star Domain and began analyzing.
Although it's highly likely that the King of Thunder Spirit is leaving the city to form an alliance,
there are also other possibilities.
Xu Jin must be prepared.
"Senior Brother Qi, there are likely only three possibilities for the King of Thunder Spirit's departure: directly going to the Royal City of the Thunderhawk Clan, or possibly meeting with the King of Cold Ice at Cold Ice Royal City.
However, according to previous intelligence, the King of Cold Ice has fought with the King of Thunder Spirit, and their relationship isn't good.
It's more likely they might meet somewhere instead of directly at Cold Ice King's Royal City.
Just like how the King of Cold Ice wouldn't dare go directly to Thunderhawk Royal City.
I think if he has an agreement with the King of Cold Ice, then most likely he will go to a place to wait for him and then meet." Ji Hongli analyzed.
"Yu'er, your strategic analysis ability is quite impressive."
Xu Jin praised, making Ji Hongli a bit embarrassed, and then pointed at the map. "Senior Brother Qi, let's find a suitable location to ambush the King of Thunder Spirit. It's much easier than a direct assault into the Royal City."
Ji Hongli's analysis was spot on, and Xu Jin thought so too.
However, they also had to guard against the King of Thunder Spirit going directly to the Thunderhawk Royal City for the alliance.
If he cuts straight across, it would be troublesome.
The next moment, Xu Jin and Ji Hongli took off again, but this time heading towards the direction of Thunderhawk Royal City.
Cold Ice Royal City and Thunderhawk Royal City were both to the north of Thunder Spirit Royal City, and it was still uncertain which direction the King of Thunder Spirit would choose.
However, as long as Xu Jin guarded the direction closer to Thunderhawk Royal City, they could capture the King of Thunder Spirit's movements and, at the very least, not make any mistakes.
Along the way, they encountered scattered Thunder Spirit Alien Races and Thunderhawk Alien Races, yet there were no experts, and all were struck down by Xu Jin and Ji Hongli with thunderous might.
There shouldn't be any leaks of information.
Xu Jin had considered the possibility of insiders from other clans within the alien races.
But alien races differ from the present-day Human Race.
The nature of their power and biological traits make it exceedingly difficult to place and recruit high-level insiders.
The problem wasn't significant in this aspect.
A one-hour period and a half later, when Xu Jin and Ji Hongli were about a thousand miles away from the Thunderhawk King, they suddenly discovered that the King of Thunder Spirit and his subordinates had stopped.
Calculating based on the map, their position was approximately at the junction of the Thunder Spirit Clan, Water Spirit Clan, and Thunderhawk Three Clans.
And they waited for fifteen minutes after the halt.
Which means Ji Hongli's analysis was correct.
The King of Thunder Spirit truly didn't dare to go alone to meet with the Thunderhawk Clan.
Yet the so-called holy clan's keepsake compelled him to attend the alliance at Thunderhawk Royal City.
What exactly is the origin of this holy clan's keepsake?
Amazed, Xu Jin and Ji Hongli turned towards the King of Thunder Spirit's resting place.
Given the location confirmation, if indeed they were waiting, Xu Jin and Ji Hongli might have time to launch a surprise attack.
Suddenly, Xu Jin saw Ji Hongli taking out a pill, preparing to swallow it.
It was a One Qi Returning Star Pill, used to restore Star Power.
Ji Hongli had been continuously fighting alongside Xu Jin, and after several two-hour periods of high-speed flight, her Star Power was depleting.
Seeing this, Xu Jin frowned and immediately stopped her.
"Yu'er, if you consume the Star Power pill now and lack Star Power during battle, how will you cope?" Xu Jin asked.
Upon hearing this, Ji Hongli lowered her head, feeling somewhat guilty, "Senior Brother Qi, I'm sorry for being a burden to you."
But in fact, it wasn't that Ji Hongli was dragging Xu Jin down; the main reason was that Xu Jin could supplement Starlight through the Can Dou Platform and use more potent Third Essence pills for Star Power recovery, which had an extremely strong effect.
Ji Hongli keeping up with Xu Jin this long in battle was already quite impressive.
"These two bottles of pills are specially made, with Star Power recovery potency about four to six times that of your current pills.
Keep them, and use them during battles, especially at crucial moments.
Come on up!" Xu Jin gestured to his back.
"Get on?"
Receiving the pills, Ji Hongli was a bit puzzled.
"Not only is your Star Power insufficient, but your Divine Soul Power is also overused, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Hongli helplessly nodded.
"Then come on up, I'll fly with you for a while; you can take a nap."
"How is that possible!"
Ji Hongli shook her head, refusing, "How can I let you carry me? Besides, with you carrying me, I won't be able to sleep."
"No worries, you'll definitely fall asleep." Xu Jin was confident.
Seeing Ji Hongli hesitating, Xu Jin continued, "Come on, you're a martial arts woman, are you afraid of me carrying you?
If you hesitate and miss the window of opportunity, what then?
If the King of Thunder Spirit and the Thunderhawk King meet, not only will my target be out of reach, but there's also a risk for us both to lose our lives.
