In the Red Rock Canyon!
The recent "creaking" sound, along with the sudden change in the concentration of demonic energy in the air, was clear to Wen Yu and Qin Tian.
As their mutual understanding deepened, Qin Tian's expression changed constantly.
Wen Yu smiled and comforted Qin Tian, "What’s the matter? Are you worried about your sister? Don't worry, Victor, Arthur, and Wang Fu Cai are in Las Vegas. I can guarantee that given the current size and population of Las Vegas, it will more than hold up against this round of demonic disaster!"
Seeing that Qin Tian's expression still showed little change, Wen Yu understood internally—this was definitely because he had been alone for too long, without any companions, leading him to distrust anyone.
Wen Yu used to be like that.
When did this change happen?
Perhaps it was when Sun Ruixing died, Wen Yu thought.
Patting Qin Tian on the shoulder, Wen Yu said seriously, "Now, we have the hunting group to deal with! Until the hunting group is eliminated, we are a disaster star! Can you imagine it? For example, if you and Walter started a fight in Las Vegas, under those circumstances, do you think your sister could survive?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Tian's expression finally improved a bit.
It must be said that for people like Wen Yu and Qin Tian, reasoning doesn't work; you must speak facts!
Feeling the distant roars of mutated beasts and the familiar howls of black-skinned demonic creatures coming from the direction of Las Vegas, Wen Yu silently questioned his previous words...
In fact, the scale of the gathering place is not absolutely correlated with the number of demonic creatures attacking—it does not mean that a larger gathering place will face more attacks; it depends on the strategies and tactics of the demonic clan, as well as the mood of the demonic creatures!
And now, was Las Vegas really safe?
...
The demonic clan has fought against how many worlds, and in terms of tactics and strategy, they are definitely several levels stronger than the human race!
Although the demonic clan is currently transporting massive numbers of demonic creatures to the battlefield near the Demon Realm Gate, seemingly sending them to their deaths without a thought, in fact, the demonic clan does not care about the deaths of these cannon fodders. Even if it takes 100 demonic creatures to exchange for one equally powerful mutated beast, for the demonic clan, it is still a strategic victory!
Moreover, it can be imagined that the blockade cannot last for long!
However, some places are different—these places either have few mutated creatures (mainly because they are located in human gathering places) or are controlled by more powerful divine beast species, passively defending a region—like Las Vegas!
This cannot be said to be a tactical error; after all, relying on the strength of city walls and fixed defensive equipment can indeed provide some advantages. And the behavior of mutated beasts cannot be said to be mindless; when the Demon Realm Gate just opened, through ambushes and numerical advantages, they could indeed gain some benefits.
It’s merely a choice between short-term benefits and long-term development.
Of course, every matter has two sides, and both choices have their downsides!
Although the actions of mutated beasts can catch the demonic clan off guard, once the demonic creatures break through the defenses of the mutated beasts, the situation for the mutated beasts will collapse immediately! In a cold weapon battlefield, the highest death toll does not come from direct combat but from one-sided slaughter during a rout!
Meanwhile, the actions of the gathering place and Las Vegas may face a large-scale forced attack from organized waves of demonic creatures! Holding up would be one thing; if they can’t withstand it, it’s all over!
...
Surrounding Las Vegas, there are a total of ten Demon Realm Gates that can bring Las Vegas into their attack range!
Among them, two are slightly further away and have been besieged and blocked by mutated beasts, while the remaining eight Demon Realm Gates are completely unguarded!
