Sometimes it is like this; clearly, not much time has passed, but due to the numerous experiences, the passage of time feels rapid.
Mina and Garan felt this way.
From the moment they encountered Ye Zhongming at the Dark River, followed him back to the camp of Surging Power, then built defenses and contacted allies at the camp, and finally evacuated to the surface together, it felt like they had experienced a long time.
Particularly once they reached the surface, they remained in a tense state, to the point where they almost forgot the reasons that prompted them to ally with Ye Zhongming.
Now, they saw that 'reason' again, the man who coveted them, wanting to possess them as playthings.
Lin Xing!
The number one in Linhai.
If this person were to be encountered elsewhere after today, no one would be surprised; during a desperate escape, everyone relies on their own means, and meeting again outside wouldn’t be unusual.
But no one expected that this Lin Xing would appear here and even join the ranks of the dried corpses.
This was not a war between humans; if you entered the opposing camp, at most, they would just call you a traitor. This was a confrontation between races; you allied with other creatures? Regardless of how you justify it, you are ultimately food for these beings. They may need your help now, promising you some benefits, but once it’s all over, what will you do?
Moreover, those benefits might just allow you to evolve faster and better, and the more that is the case, the tastier you become in their eyes.
So when Lin Xing led his twenty thousand troops to intercept the human attack, the scene fell into an instant silence!
The woman on the Yama Tree smiled enchanting.
“Humans, I know there’s a term in your language called ‘time difference.’ You’re trying to circle around me and surround me, aren’t you just trying to exploit a time difference? You want to kill me using your numerical advantage before my subordinates arrive. You’ve united so many people just for this, right?”
Ruan Xiao's assistant checked the durability, his face turning ashen; it was only at 2! Although the previous attack from the magic crystal weapons had weakened the power of Nature’s Might a bit and slowed the decline of durability, it was still down to 2. Under this already weakened intensity, perhaps it could hold out for ten or twenty more seconds? But it would definitely be broken!
The magic crystal weapons from the Cloud Summit Villa fired again, as if the recent clash between the two human groups had no effect on them whatsoever.
The green cloud of Nature’s Might faded, maintaining a terrifying durability of only two ticks.
The power of the magic crystal weapons surprised even the once proud Yama Tree.
“Let’s begin.”
Ye Zhongming whispered, only those near him could hear, but his voice transmitted through the Merit Medals reached the ears of everyone in Cloud Summit Villa.
Every core member held a modern-looking weapon in their hands.
V1 Type Grenade Launcher!
This high-cost performance weapon was swapped for many by those who possessed the Merit Medals!
Dozens of flaming projectiles flew out with white smoke, and those with Merit Medals borrowed Ye Zhongming’s muzzle space folding ability!
The rockets, appearing out of thin air, flew toward the same target.
The Yama Tree’s main body.
These modern weapons were already fast, and the surprise attack from the Cloud Summit Villa was even more sudden. Before the Yama Tree could flaunt its superiority, it was met with a barrage of metal projectiles that left it feeling stifled. Given its massive size, it couldn't evade at all.
The sounds of explosions rang out consecutively, each projectile hitting the Yama Tree’s body with precision. Smoke enveloped the area, obscuring any visible damage done to the Yama Tree, but its enraged roar could be heard through the haze.
Nature’s Might became even more unstable as a result.
The Thunderstorm Tower and magic crystal cannons fired again, this time their target was no longer Nature’s Might but the human evolvers hidden among the dried corpse horde.
