CHAPTER TEXT:
Wu Xiu and Ruan Xiao followed behind, occasionally ordering their subordinates to assist in the attacks alongside Cloud Summit Villa.
Seeing yet another force being annihilated in chaos, the two exchanged glances, both revealing complex expressions.
To be honest, they considered themselves shrewd, but they never expected to achieve passage rights through such means.
They were used to conducting everything in the manner of merchants.
Negotiating cooperation, occasionally resorting to extortion, and sometimes committing plunder—these were things they could handle, but at this moment, employing such decisive tactics left them feeling ill at ease.
It wasn’t that they were afraid to act; rather, it simply never occurred to them to think in this way.
What they didn’t know was that the stationary battle team had given Ye Zhongming a hint.
The situation on Circular Mountain Path had suddenly become extremely chaotic under the stir caused by Cloud Summit Villa and the Ogre Chain.
Fighting erupted everywhere; no forces could escape unscathed. Everyone seemed to have gone mad, leaving no room for anything other than desperate battles.
People were indeed a bit deranged, but one thing was clear: they knew this situation was a massive cleanup, and in the end, only seven forces could pass this test. Even the relatively weakest among them fought with all their might, grasping at that glimmer of hope.
Perhaps if other forces fell faster, they could overcome this hurdle.
In the area of mechanical battle dolls, fighting also broke out. A few small teams from different forces, caught up in the chaos, attempted to regroup but found their paths diverted, leading them to encounter this roadblock.
“Annoying, so annoying!” A young man seated inside a giant mechanical battle doll repeated those three words through gritted teeth. At that moment, he sat still in his chair, but upon closer inspection, one could see many characters and lines flashing rapidly in his eyes, densely packed.
This was him controlling the mechanical battle doll in combat.
Although the attackers were not particularly strong and he could handle them easily, their numbers were considerable. He also wanted to take a moment to check on other situations, which made him seem somewhat busy.
“Is it this team? Are they from South Korea or Japan? Doesn’t matter; I dislike them all anyway.”
“I’ll show you some colors!”
As he spoke, the symbols in the young man's eyes suddenly multiplied. At the same time, among his mechanical battle doll team, several mechanical beasts and over two hundred newly formed mechanical warriors broke away from the main force and rushed in a certain direction!
“Alright, it’s your turn, you annoying flies.”
The several small teams that were just evenly matched with these mechanical battle dolls immediately suffered a devastating blow.
……………………………………
Ye Zhongming, who was among the team, suddenly stopped. It wasn’t because the organization ahead posed much pressure on him, but because a notification suddenly rang out in his consciousness.
“Cloud Summit Villa has killed 4004 evolvers... 4006... 4010...”
A prompt after surpassing four thousand?
Ye Zhongming didn’t know how many people were in these twenty forces combined, but he imagined there were at least tens of thousands. After a while of fighting, the Circular Mountain Path was no longer so crowded.
If Cloud Summit had killed enough to reach five thousand, would they immediately pass the test and disappear from here, or lose their qualification for continued battle, waiting for everything to settle before passing through these paths to the peak?
However, the number of remaining forces didn’t seem to have decreased to his expectations.
“Mr. Wu, you come!”
Ye Zhongming ordered Cloud Summit to yield the frontline position to let the Ogre Chain take over.
Wu Xiu and Ruan Xiao were stunned at first, but upon hearing Ye Zhongming say they had already killed over four thousand, they quickly understood.
