110: The mantis that wants to be the oriole
The next morning.
Lin Xingyu woke up early, preparing to continue hunting monsters.
At this moment, Wang Ledian and the others also walked out, sporting dark circles under their eyes.
"Did you guys go digging for coal?"
Seeing their appearance, Lin Xingyu immediately laughed.
"Sigh, don't even mention it. Yesterday, we were so busy bullying noobs that we kept grinding until three in the morning!"
Wang Ledian rubbed his slightly swollen head.
If it weren't for Li Hongyang, the 'grind king' beside him, he really wouldn't want to get out of bed.
In the trial tower, every battle started with full stats, which allowed him to have a blast.
Each time he fought, he would exhaust his spiritual power, making his opponents suffer immensely.
He knew he couldn't defeat Fifth-Tier opponents, so he never went to the Fifth Stage, staying in the Fourth Stage to bully noobs.
Whenever he was about to achieve ten consecutive victories, he would intentionally lose once.
Wang Chiyao's situation was similar to Wang Ledian's, perhaps even more "insane."
Later, she simply stopped moving her hands and used her Puppet Army for the entire battle.
There was no wear and tear in the trial tower, which allowed her to use her Puppets without restraint.
Each time, she would beat her enemies to a pulp.
This kind of satisfaction from bullying noobs was beyond words.
Inspired by the two of them, Li Hongyang also started "getting creative."
Every time he encountered an enemy, it was a "Star Shatter."
His opponents were often instantly killed before they could even react.
The silent ones often strike the hardest!
While these few had a great time, their opponents were in misery.
The trial tower had a dedicated chat channel, and last night, it exploded.
Complaints about their encounters were everywhere.
It was believed that the number of participants in battles would significantly decrease for a while.
"Let's go, time to hunt monsters!"
Lin Xingyu shook his head helplessly; he knew this would happen...In a corner of the vast jungle within Secret Realm No. 3699.
The Ying Family and the Li Family began their operations at dawn.
They wanted to prevent others from getting a head start if they delayed too long.
The two Families quickly arrived at the place where they encountered the ape group yesterday.
A large number of Iron-Arm Apes were gathered there, and a faint scent of alcohol permeated the air.
"Hiss... That's quite a lot of apes!"
Li Hongao gasped.
"Indeed, quite a few, but with our two Families working together, we can wipe them out!"
Seeing Li Hongao's hesitation, Ying Chuan immediately spoke to boost morale.
Given the number of apes present, their Family alone couldn't handle them.
That's why he wanted to join forces with the Li Family.
Combining the strength of both Families, they could definitely deal with the ape group.
After experiencing a major upheaval, the Li Family had become increasingly conservative in their actions.
Ying Chuan was now afraid that the Li Family would retreat, causing them to return empty-handed.
Hearing Ying Chuan's words, Li Hongao weighed the pros and cons, then finally nodded in agreement.
After making some preparations, the group launched a surprise attack on the ape group.
Ranged attacks rained down on the ape group, instantly causing numerous casualties.
The sudden attack thoroughly enraged the Iron-Arm Apes.
They let out deafening roars and charged madly at their enemies.
What awaited them were the well-prepared melee units.
The two sides clashed fiercely, and a great battle began...Meanwhile, in a hidden spot near the battlefield.
Members of the Barren Alliance were lurking there.
"Everyone, hide well! Do not attack without my command!"
A burly man with a single horn on his head whispered, simultaneously emitting an invisible fluctuation to soothe his subordinates' restless emotions.
They had been trailing the Li Family for a long time, and now they finally found an opportunity.
As long as both sides were severely weakened, they could reap the benefits.
He understood the principle of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
The appearance of the Ying Family was an unexpected bonus.
Most members of the Barren Alliance came from impoverished backgrounds.
They already had no good feelings towards these large Families.
Moreover, the Ying Family was also a member of the Star Pavilion, making them a primary target for attack.
Ever since Marquis Lie Hu was ambushed by Marquis Chiyan and Marquis Bone-Eater, they had designated the Star Pavilion and the World Purifying Society as their main targets.
If they could wipe out the Li Family and Ying Family, Marquis Lie Hu would surely reward them handsomely upon their return.
Thinking of this, he suppressed the excitement in his heart and kept his eyes fixed on the battlefield...On the other side.
After Lin Xingyu and the others emerged from his Inner World, they were riding their mounts in the sky, searching for traces of beast groups.
"Brother Yu, there are people fighting over there!"
Wang Ledian suddenly pointed into the distance and shouted.
Hearing this, the group looked in that direction and indeed discovered the battle there.
Judging by the situation, quite a few people were involved in the fight.
"Everyone, get on the Dark Fiend Dragon's back; we're going to check it out!"
Lin Xingyu ordered the Dark Fiend Dragon to enlarge its body and took Wang Ledian and the others onto it.
The Dark Fiend Dragon had the ability to become invisible and could take them with it.
This ability was quite powerful; last time when they observed the battle in Starfall City, even a Marquis-level expert couldn't detect them.
The Dark Fiend Dragon lowered its flying altitude, carrying everyone silently towards the battlefield.
"There are people here too!"
Just then, Lin Xingyu discovered the hiding place of the Barren Alliance.
Although they used concealment Dao items, the dense information boxes couldn't escape Lin Xingyu's eyes.
As they got closer, Lin Xingyu gradually saw the situation below.
The Li Family and the Ying Family were fiercely fighting the ape group, while the Barren Alliance members were waiting on the side, looking to be the oriole.
No, they wanted to be the mantis; he was the oriole.
Seeing this, Lin Xingyu was not in a hurry and informed the others of the situation.
At the same time, he had the Dark Fiend Dragon hover silently in mid-air, waiting for the best moment.
"Brother Xingyu, should we release the Puppet Army?"
Wang Chiyao asked excitedly, eager to act.
"First, release the Explosion Bees and Net Spiders; they are small targets and not easily discovered."
Lin Xingyu nodded, urging the Dark Fiend Dragon to fly further away and lower its altitude so that the Puppet Army could descend.
These two types of beast-form Puppets were very suitable for hiding in the jungle.
Setting up an encirclement in advance would prevent enemies from escaping.
He wanted to catch all these people in one swoop.
"Brother Yu, want to cast a curse?"
Seeing Wang Chiyao's actions, Wang Ledian also felt a bit itchy.
The "Curse of Misfortune" was silent and would not expose them.
Lin Xingyu pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement:
"Alright, cast the curse on everyone below, including those Iron-Arm Apes!"
There was still some time before they made their move, enough for Wang Ledian to recover his spiritual power.
"Alrighty!"
Wang Ledian was full of excitement and immediately unleashed a fully powered "Curse of Misfortune" below.
After exhausting his spiritual power, he returned to his Inner World to recover...Meanwhile, on the other side of the jungle, near the treant settlement.
The Blazing Flame Gang, led by Scarface Man, arrived here.
"That's where they are, those are the treants!"
Scarface Man pointed at a few ancient trees not far away.
These ancient trees looked ordinary, but once provoked, they would uproot themselves and transform into treant forms.
Due to their massive size, their combat power was quite terrifying.
