Zhao Jingcheng and his father pulled out the terrifying sea of carnivorous plants and turned back, their eyes filled with sorrow.
They had originally intended to deal a blow to Cloud Summit Villa, but unexpectedly mishandled the situation, losing not only three rare scrolls but also six core members.
The father and son had hoped to recoup some losses during the hunt for the iron giant and even take revenge on Cloud Summit Villa, but who would have thought that just minutes after charging in, they would suffer such a heavy loss?
Looking at the scattered, terrified subordinates gathered around, they felt like crying but had no tears left.
Anman stared wide-eyed, panting heavily, fists clenched tightly.
It wasn't just the external teams like Signal Flag that had suffered heavy losses; many of the warriors he brought from Zone C also lost quite a few members. What infuriated him even more was that in the face of danger, everyone panicked, including those strong ones.
If they had helped the people around them, many survivors could have been saved, and they wouldn’t have lost thousands of elite warriors in just a few minutes like now!
Anman's heart was bleeding; these people in the resistance area were all elites.
He unintentionally glanced at Cloud Summit Villa and his expression darkened further; those people seemed to have escaped the sea of carnivorous plants early on.
For the first time, Anman felt a sense of defeat.
At that moment, he was startled by a burst of light. Looking up, he saw the carnivorous plants that had just gorged on the flesh of the evolvers were glowing, and the massive piece of wood in the iron giant's hand was also illuminated. Gradually, these lights connected together, forming a gigantic net.
Starting from the outermost carnivorous plants, those terrifying plants that had just been fierce and made evolvers tremble began to wither, turning into patches of yellow from the outside in.
As this large-scale withering occurred, the glow also vanished. To be precise, these lights were all being transferred towards that massive piece of wood, eventually converging on it.
The iron lock prisoner raised the now radiant Bloodwood and brought it closer to his horn; the light began to dim once more.
“It is recovering its injuries this way…” Mu Xinfey said, watching the wounds on the iron lock prisoner heal at a rapid pace, feeling somewhat incredulous. She never expected this massive creature to have such a method.
“It’s not just healing its wounds,” Ye Zhongming pointed at the magic crystal on the iron lock prisoner’s forehead, “It’s also evolving.”
Upon hearing Ye Zhongming’s words, everyone looked over, and they saw that the magic crystal on the iron lock prisoner had begun to change from orange to white.
The color of a ninth-level magic crystal is silver!
This giant was evolving towards the ninth level!
“Are we still fighting?” Guangyao felt a retreating urge and turned to ask Ye Zhongming. The power displayed by the iron lock prisoner had shaken the confidence of this T-zone war department commander.
Ye Zhongming looked at this creature, which seemed to show a satisfied expression after a hearty meal, knowing that his decision might determine the lives of many.
“Both sides still have strength left; how can we not try?” Ye Zhongming’s words decided that the battle would continue. Mu Xinfey and Guangyao exchanged glances and could only accompany him.
They were also curious to see what Ye Zhongming’s trump card was.
The iron lock prisoner, having fully recovered and even deepened its evolution, revealed that strange smile again, as if mocking the humans’ overconfidence.
Ye Zhongming’s body started to undergo some changes; black patterns began to surface on the skin beneath his clothes, and his eyes turned completely dark.
The hell messenger bloodline was activated.
The warriors of Cloud Summit looked serious; they knew their boss was about to unleash his full power.
“Everyone, get ready! We’re using that plan!” Ye Zhongming’s voice turned icy cold, and after saying this, he patted the body of the earth yellow pill, “Buddy, let’s go!”
