It was truly a force like a bamboo being split.
Currently, in Plum City, the eight nine-level lives gathered included Little Tiger, the spirit woman, the black cat, Liang Chuyin, Red Hair, the undead fish dragon, the Yama Tree, and Mo Ye. There should also be a nine-star evolver from avoidance present. Except for Yangos, who was heavily injured and unable to fight, the small city was filled with so many top-tier lives. One could imagine the terrifying destructive power they would unleash.
After more than an hour of battle, it transformed from mutual attacks to a one-sided massacre.
It wasn't that the parasites weren't resisting; rather, their resistance had become nearly ineffective. The continuous tightening of the encirclement made the numerical disadvantage of Cloud Summit less noticeable. Under the leadership of these elite lives, they relentlessly charged against the parasite front lines, breaking through the siege and dividing the enemy, employing various tactics and skills.
"It’s too late to come out now," Guangyao murmured as he witnessed the scene.
The current situation made a reversal nearly impossible. After the Cloud Summit air force withdrew, the magic crystal cannon roared again, delivering a near-destructive blow to the parasites that had been compressed into the city center.
After the second round of cleansing from the magic crystal cannon, the Cloud Summit team rushed in, with everyone eager to be the first to kill. After all, every parasite represented merit points, and there would be corresponding rewards after the battle.
Even Little Tiger and the others were invigorated, leading their team to continuously attack the already chaotic parasite camp.
Only the spirit woman and the black cat retreated with their horde of zombies. There was no choice; it was fine when parasites surrounded them, but once there were evolvers nearby, reckless attacks could weaken their own forces.
Thus, Xia Lei ordered the spirit woman and the black cat to lead the remaining thousands of zombies to retreat, staying at a distance not far from her.
Since the spirit woman hadn't shown any signs of negativity earlier, Mo Ye didn't take action, and the nine-star evolver from avoidance also remained hidden.
Big Yellow whimpered twice, clearly wanting to join in the slaughter. Xia Lei hesitated for a moment but then patted Big Yellow's body and said, "These guys are all rotten flesh; there's no need for you to get involved."
The earth yellow pill could only lie on the ground, watching the Cloud Summit warriors fight.
Yangos, who had been pulled nearby to recover, laughed unabashedly. "Big Yellow, they really are stinky. Although I, Lord Long, hate bathing the most, I will have someone wash my scales soon; they smell too bad."
Big Yellow disdainfully glanced at the Evil Dragon, not wanting to communicate with such a fool.
"It's over." At this moment, Xia Lei reached the same conclusion as Guangyao.
At this point in the battle, there was basically no suspense left. She had already sent the war rat legion to conduct extensive searches underground, confirming that there were indeed no other parasites left. This meant that only those trapped in the city center remained.
Naturally, Xia Lei found it strange and puzzling that the one million green-skin monsters had suddenly disappeared, and she still felt a sense of unease in her heart. But if they had indeed vanished, what could be done?
From another perspective, it was actually a good thing for Cloud Summit. After all, the enemy's numbers had dwindled to four million. Even if victory was assured now, it would still take a day or two to wipe them all out, during which there would be continual resistance, leading to casualties. Reducing the enemy by one hundred thousand meant saving many lives for Cloud Summit.
Since the victory was certain, to minimize casualties, Xia Lei felt that they should adopt a method of alternating attacks. This would ensure the intensity of the offense while also establishing a second defensive line on the periphery to prevent any parasites from breaking through and escaping.
