Soon, they discovered that the Fire Qilin wasn't as terrifying as it seemed.
Coordinating human and pet in battle, under Chen Guan's command, the pets withstood all the Fire Qilin's attacks, while the human team kept maneuvering to find opportunities, constantly launching attacks on the Fire Qilin.
Although pets kept dying, they were only the summoned pets used to encircle the Qilin, not including the mounts, there were more than two thousand. Even if they stood still and let the Fire Qilin kill them, it would take a long time.
Moreover, under Chen Guan's command, even if it wanted to kill the pets, it had to continually run around.
The Qilin's stamina was being continuously depleted, and as the pets kept dying, the Qilin began using its Secret Skills because it started feeling tired.
The only way to kill a Third Awakening Qilin is to deplete both its stamina and Primordial Energy, and that requires lives to be exchanged.
But exchanging lives is also a skill, and completing this step with the least cost requires the artistry of a commander.
Chen Guan's command ability was not on par with the likes of Men Team and Leng Zhe. His overall perspective was good, but he was lacking in detail, which requires constant honing through learning and practice, not just relying on talent.
But under the influence of the Spirit of the Cheerleaders, the team members performed beyond expectations. After Chen Guan gave an order, their responses compensated for his lack of control over details.
Each team member seemed to be possessed by a Pet Master, their Riding Skills astonishingly skilled.
The archers' aim became extraordinarily accurate, the sword and shield warriors unusually fierce, and the long spear knights' spear techniques were exceptionally fierce.
Pulleys... all kinds of extreme pulling...
The tide of cavalry and various pets achieved a perfect harmony, the entire team's coordination getting higher and higher. So many people and pets, yet they seemed like Chen Guan's dexterous hands, freely wielded as he pleased.
By now, the art was complete, every soldier turning into an artist on the battlefield, countless genius responses and controls, merging into this battle as exquisite as a world-renowned painting.
The immensely strong Third Awakening Qilin, under the constant pulling, depletion, and harassment of the battle team, became increasingly exhausted. Its terrifying power from Primordial Energy outbursts could only kill some pets.
But how much Primordial Energy can it have?
In a one-on-one, the Third Awakening Qilin is invincible.
In a one-on-thousand, the Third Awakening Qilin is only a slightly stronger Secret Spirit.
Without persistent pulling, probing, and attacking, Chen Guan finally discovered this Qilin's weak spot.
Under various attacks, the Qilin instinctively avoided a scale under its neck, which was conspicuously more blood-red than the others.
Normal attacks it ignored, but when arrows aimed there, it deliberately dodged or blocked them.
With this discovery, under Chen Guan's command, the team launched tidal-like attacks targeting that scale on the Qilin.
The team was now completely devoid of previous panic, turned into a team with experienced depth and calm minds, both pulling and seizing every possible chance to attack the Qilin's weak point.
The Qilin had been pulled numbly, but it had no way, now trying to break out of the encirclement with all its strength was too late.
The battle team kept with its movement, and with its current stamina and Primordial Energy, it couldn't break through.
The battle continued from dawn till dusk, everyone was exhausted, but the spirit in their eyes was brighter than usual.
With a massive burst of terrifying Primordial Energy, a dozen or so pets close to the Qilin were instantly killed, and the Qilin too finally reached the end of its strength. After using its Secret Power, it had no Primordial Energy left and its stamina had dropped to the limit.
The team members and pets, taking turns to fight, still had strength left. With the decisive point of the Command Flag towards the Qilin, everyone launched a tidal-like final assault.
The Qilin, having no stamina left, had the scale on its chest increasingly hit by attacks.
After an unknown number of hits, the scale was pierced through by a long spear, which thrust into the flesh behind the scale, and Qilin blood stained for the first time.
Once there was a first time, there was a second time. Under the battle team's tidal assault, the shaky Qilin finally, from excessive bleeding, collapsed to the ground.
Everyone stared blankly at the fallen Qilin, their faces full of disbelief.
They unexpectedly killed the Third Awakening World-Defying Secret Spirit Fire Qilin, and almost with zero injuries, though many pets died, causing them much heartache.
But such a battle achievement was something they dared not even imagine before.
An Yiqi took out his notebook and wrote another line: "There is no unbeatable opponent in this world... Believe in yourself..."
Cheering sounds shook the wilderness, and at the same time, specks of blood-red particles floated from the Qilin, gathering in the hand of the one who killed it, transforming into a blood-colored Secret Core.
"This time we won't go for points, we'll distribute things directly. Come, my strongest warriors, take your glory medals." Chen Guan walked to the Qilin, plucked its scales one by one, and personally distributed them to the soldiers of the battle team.
Everyone could get a piece of Qilin Scale, for everyone had a share, always
without going empty-handed.
Everyone was very happy, the Qilin Scale was valuable, but that wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was this battle they could brag about for a lifetime.
When they were old, holding their grandchildren at home, they could point to their scale and say: "When your grandpa was young, he could slay a Third Awakening World-Defying Secret Spirit Qilin Beast."
The person who killed the Qilin brought the Secret Core over, it was a Secret Skill Core. This sort of thing couldn't be kept privately, it was the result of the whole battle team.
"This is the reward we deserve for doing good deeds, sell the item later, I'm making the call, each will get three thousand. Those pets that died will be registered, when we slay the Secret Spirits later, they will have priority distribution." Chen Guan did not look at the Secret Core, directly announced sharing the money, causing another round of cheers from everyone.
Points can only be exchanged within the Celestial Court Army for items, but money can buy whatever, naturally, money is better.
Three thousand bucks were equivalent to an ordinary person's yearly living expenses, not a small amount, calculating for over a thousand people meant more than three million.
An average Unparalleled Secret Skill sells for only a million or so, if heavily restricted, it may even sell for less than a million, maybe even only twenty or thirty thousand.
Only some very special Unparalleled Secret Skills might sell for millions, even tens of millions.
After announcing all this, Chen Guan picked up the Secret Skill Core, took one look at it, and his face slightly turned green.
This thing turned out not to be Unparalleled quality, but a one-of-a-kind Secret Skill.
"You've got to be kidding, a one-of-a-kind Secret Skill from a World-Defying Secret Spirit... I spent over three million... such a loss..." Chen Guan was slightly depressed.
Generally, one-of-a-kind Secret Skills have various flaws, they're only particularly strong in certain aspects, hard to sell at a high price.
Only some rather special one-of-a-kind Secret Skills might sell for the high price of millions.
Fortunately, the Qilin's body was consumed by Ghost Eye, which leveled up and shed a layer of skin.
