The entire Yanghu Artificial Forest was filled with a bloody smell.
Since the Survivor Fortress was built by the All Races of the Universe themselves, outside the designated areas, there were hardly any large beasts or mutated life forms. The other animals that enriched the ecosystem definitely dared not venture into this place, which had been filled with killing intent since just moments ago.
The soldiers of the Assault Camp stood in place, a bit dazed.
During the fight, they hadn't felt much, only thinking about killing the enemy. But once the battle ended and they realized they had won, it felt a bit like a dream.
Yes, they had won, and it was a complete victory.
In terms of complete victory, apart from a dozen or so individuals getting injured, not a single person had died.
They only had seventy people; counting Ye Zhongming, there were just seventy-one. How did they achieve such a victory?
Their opponents, the Xue Huo People, numbered a hundred, and their average strength was significantly higher than theirs.
"What are you dazed for? Clean up the battlefield; take away everything valuable. Evacuate within five minutes!"
Ye Zhongming scolded in a low voice.
In his view, there was nothing strange about it. Indeed, the warriors of the Xue Huo People were much stronger than the Assault Camp and had more battle experience. However, in this ambush, various factors were at play.
The Star Eye Clan excelled at ambush tactics; they were naturally outstanding raiders and assassins. In the darkness and dense forest, this was their home ground.
With careful planning and the element of surprise, exploiting the enemy's lack of defenses, they first utilized traps to overturn the enemy's vehicles, then took advantage of the chaos to eliminate their escapees one by one. Additionally, with Ye Zhongming personally taking action and a few people coordinating, they eliminated the backbone of the hundred-person force right at the start of the battle. What waves could the remaining individuals possibly make?
Furthermore, before this mission, Ye Zhongming had equipped the Assault Camp thoroughly, with each person outfitted with excellent gear, significantly improving their combat effectiveness.
The battlefield was quickly cleaned up. Ye Zhongming walked over to the captain, whose eyes were still wide open in death, and cut off his head, placing it in a box.
Then, he led the Assault Camp to disappear into the dense forest.
A few minutes after they left, a figure suddenly appeared. Looking at the devastated battlefield, he sighed and shook his head.
"Clearly inexperienced. You can tell a lot just by examining the corpses."
As he spoke, he took out a bottle of powder and sprinkled a bit on each body. Soon, the corpses turned into a pale, sticky liquid.
After checking the battlefield again to ensure no clues were left behind, the figure vanished without a trace.

One morning, the people of Dark Strip City were excited by two pieces of news.
One was that the Star Eye Clan, which had been on the brink of extinction, suddenly announced that they would reopen their shops, and on the day of reopening, they would hold a small auction, featuring two particularly desirable items.
One was a premium crimson condensation level weapon made by the Tarros Red Dwarf, which was regarded as the most valued type of equipment.
The equipment from the Tarros Red Dwarf was not considered rare in many places, but that depended on the situation and location.
For certain large clans, their standard equipment was provided by the Tarros Red Dwarf, as they were quite affluent and indulgent.
However, even for the extravagant clans like the Lena People and Hall People, their standard equipment could only reach kegang level, which was only slightly better than the ordinary level.
In Dark Strip City, even the "eighth tier" mid-level races couldn't afford to use ordinary level as standard equipment. Only elite teams had ordinary level gear, while kegang level was exclusively for mid-level leaders.
