Chapter 261 - 231: Hong Yi’s New Lieutenant, The Sudden Monster Tide (Two in 0ne)_2
“Hmm, learn your lesson and keep trying.”
She, Hong Yi, had been hoping to gain great profits here, to aid her future lifestyle of retirement.
Outside the Chaos Forest,
At this time, only an hour into the competition, Warriors and even Lords had already been eliminated.
The powerful ones waiting outside weren’t surprised.
Small nations were inconsistent in strength. The weak ones, whole teams of eleven people, couldn’t even handle a single powerful individual from a strong nation.
Buzz—
“Another one’s been teleported out, oh, it’s actually several figures… no, it’s eleven… That’s another entire team that’s gone.”
“Seems like it’s the fourth one today; the battle’s quite fierce.”
“Wait, it looks like the Lord of the Shen Yao Empire!”
The legendary figures of the Shen Yao Empire were stunned.
This wasn’t right.
They hadn’t even been there for too long.
Their representatives this year were not bad.
A legendary figure in charge of the situation suppressed his emotions and asked coldly, “What happened?”
The Lord who was teleported out was uninjured, but it took him several seconds to regain his composure. The warriors beside him fared worse; most were dazed and confused, some had even fallen to the ground, drooling thick fluid and twitching slightly.
The Lord Shen Yao said, “We… we encountered…”
He described the horrors of the roots’ treachery, the numerous powerful beings lurkinginside, until…
He eventually bowed his head and said, “I apologize, Lord Lawrence, 1 was careless. If we hadn’t walked into the enemy’s ambush…”
He… he wouldn’t have been wiped out.
The empire had simulated confrontations with Yongxing and the Prince and Princess of Shen Mu. Despite being unable to overpower them, as long as their teams stayed in their formation, leaving a couple of warriors to cover the rear, they could have fled.
After all, they were representatives of the powerful Shen Yao.
But now…
Responsible person Lawrence wanted to berate him, but this was not the occasion to blow his top.
He could only console himself, “It doesn’t matter, he wasn’t a key player anyway. His elimination doesn’t make a difference. Besides, eliminating Tianyuan is more important than the Dragon Court competition.”
After all, the quota for the Dragon Court competition was only for this session, whereas a powerful figure like the Lord of Han Yue City could occupy more resources in conflicts.
In situations where national pillar-level powerhouses were not convenient to act, people like the Lord of Han Yue City were the top-tier powerhouses.
His only concern was whether their Lord Shen Yao could find Tianyuan.
Now that one person has been eliminated, the efficiency of finding Tianyuan will be reduced, and this is, indeed, the most annoying part.
“I hope Tianyuan’s power can be stronger, as long as Tianyuan can last until the third day. According to calculations, the Undead and Explosive Corps have a 99.6% chance of, at the very least, stumbling upon Tianyuan once.”
“Then we can move on to phase two of the plan.”
As time went on, more and more Lord teams inside the Chaos Forest had assembled the Heaven and Earth scrolls and merged them into a token.
The battles within the vast forest were becoming more intense.
Dead Bone looked at the scroll in his hand, three days of heaven and earth, and finally, a scroll of earth came out.
He pondered for a bit, tapped the ground slightly with his heavy sword, and created an opening in the Wraith Sacred Mountain. Immediately, Vampires, Abominations, Skeleton Generals and other undead creatures stepped out.
He gathered nine of them.
He gave one of the Vampires a shining armor, and handed him the Heaven and Earth scrolls.
A moment later,
Buzz—
When the emerging token looked like a brilliant flare, spreading out radiant ripples of light.
The Undead Squad quickly skedaddled.
Dead Bone followed not too far behind, hiding among the forest, like a ghost.
The Rakshasa Squad, Duo Lai, and Lu Liu’s Squad, were also each using their own fishing methods.
Without a doubt, the Tree Demon Granny’s team and Hong Yi were strong players in baiting. With the token as bait, their efficiency in nesting had greatly increased.
And after the hunting and crushing phases, the fighting power of the Tree Demon Granny and Hong Yi did not decrease, but increased instead.
The Tree Demon Granny maintained peak fighting power by sucking up life force;
Hong Yi’s energy was slightly depleted, but the Underworld Ghost Market was gradually growing, which was rather promising.
Once this token stopped spreading light, Hong Yi took out one Heaven scroll and one Earth scroll and merged them.
The ripples of light spread out once again.
“Look, we’ve spotted our prey.”
Off in the distance,
There was a tall, dark figure leisurely strolling among the giant trees. He stood over three meters tall, had two horns on his head, and wore thick scaly black armor.
His mere presence sent out chilling waves of terror.
“Before I find the special prey that the Lord instructed me to hunt, let’s first catch some small prey.”
The Lord of Fear thought thus.
He didn’t act with the King of the Undead, but instead divided into two teams. He, the Lord of Fear, took two generals and acted independently, hunting freely. Only when they discovered the special target ‘Tianyuan’ would they contact each other through the Lord-Hero Contract.
At that time, he, the Lord of Fear, would use his unique Epic Skill ‘Fear Reincarnation’.
It was an illusion technique that immersed the enemy in their deepest fears. But if that’s all there was to it, it would not qualify as an Epic Ability. The most powerful aspect of ‘Fear Reincarnation’ was – Reincarnation – it enabled targets engrossed in fear to wake up, forgetting everything from the illusion, and then go through a second, third, fourth round of fear illusion.
