84: The leader descended from the sky

"Next!" Mo Yan bellowed, once again lunging at another Elite Fire Lizard.

Gun Gun's Battle Intent soared, and the Qingyang Bamboo Shadow Skill was unleashed, allowing it to weave nimbly between several Elite Fire Lizards.

Those Elite Fire Lizards looked fierce, but in front of Gun Gun, they couldn't gain any advantage.

Their proud fiery claw attacks were also skillfully dodged by Gun Gun.

"Roar!"

One Elite Fire Lizard, seeing its companions continuously slain, roared in anger, opened its massive maw, and spat a thick pillar of fire towards Gun Gun.

Gun Gun pushed off with its feet, successfully dodging the attack.

However, the scorching heat wave singed its fur, making it slightly curled.

"Be careful!" Mo Yan warned, shaking the sword in his hand, sending out several Sword Qi to interrupt the Elite Fire Lizard's subsequent attack.

Gun Gun swung its staff, sending the Elite Fire Lizard that tried to ambush it flying.

Mo Yan's Frost Sword Qi crisscrossed, restricting the movements of the surrounding Elite Fire Lizards, while Gun Gun understood implicitly, and the emerald bamboo seized the opportunity to strike, the human and the demon cooperating in perfect synergy.

The last Elite Fire Lizard, seeing all its companions perish, became ferociously enraged, and recklessly spat out Dragon breath mixed with magma, attempting to perish together with Mo Yan.

Mo Yan had anticipated this and dodged its breath.

At the same time, Gun Gun charged from the side, completely smashing its head.

Soon, the several Elites besieging the gate were cleared out by them.

Having dealt with the threat at the gate, Mo Yan didn't pause, his figure transforming into an afterimage, starlight subtly appearing beneath his feet, as he rushed towards the Elite Fire Demons that were frantically bombarding the wall behind them.

Mo Yan shouted, "Gun Gun, keep following me, let's take care of those Elite Fire Demons!"

"Okay!" Gun Gun nodded vigorously, following closely behind him.

"Archers, cover them!" Bai Lingyue saw the situation and immediately gave the order.

The Archers on the wall all turned their arrows, and a dense rain of arrows covered the monstrous beasts.

Bai Lingyue looked at Mo Yan's back as he charged into the enemy formation, her brows tightly furrowed.

She knew the responsibility on her shoulders at this moment; she couldn't leave, she had to stay here to command the entire situation and deploy Soldiers to reinforce the defenses on the wall.

"First squad, second squad, fall back to Yu Shan Workshop to replenish your stamina, everyone else take their place!" She calmly issued the command.

In such high-intensity combat, the Soldiers' stamina consumption was enormous, and rotation was necessary to maintain combat effectiveness.

Batch after batch of weary Soldiers retreated from the battlefield, heading towards Yu Shan Workshop.

Zhou Zhi had already prepared a large amount of Ling food, waiting in the dining area.

The Soldiers ravenously devoured the Spiritual Qi-infused food, rapidly recovering their stamina.

After a brief rest, they would once again return to the battlefield.

Just as everyone was struggling to hold on.

Suddenly, in the sky above the distant Volcanic Region, a gigantic dark shadow quietly appeared.

That dark shadow covered the sky and obscured the sun, its wings spanning dozens of meters, its body burning with ominous dark red flames, trailing a long fiery tail.

It circled once in the air, emitting a sharp shriek,

Caw—!

The sound pierced the sky, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.

It caused all humans and monstrous beasts on the battlefield to momentarily freeze.

"What is that?" A Soldier tremblingly pointed to the distant sky.

They saw a gigantic dark shadow, trailing a long fiery wake, slowly rising from behind the volcano.

It covered the sky and obscured the sun, with a pair of wings composed of orange-gold flames, each flap stirring up scorching heat waves.

On its head were three wisps of light gold flames, floating upwards and remaining condensed, like a natural crown.

This was a leader-level!

And it was a flying type.

It began to circle above the territory, its massive shadow casting down.

It was a suppression stemming from a higher life-level, causing many Soldiers' legs to go weak, almost unable to grip their weapons.

Even the raging Fire Lizards and Fire Demons on the ground ceased their attacks at this moment, emitting uneasy low growls, prostrating themselves on the ground, showing submission to the king in the sky.

Mo Yan had just severed an Elite Fire Demon's arm with a single sword stroke when he heard the shriek and looked up at the sky.

His expression was more solemn than ever before.

Bai Lingyue also stopped casting and gazed at the dark shadow in the sky.

"Ember Feather Immortal Phoenix!" Bai Lingyue gazed at that figure, a hint of solemnity flashing in her beautiful eyes.

As soon as this name was uttered, Mo Yan's heart sank.

Just by hearing the name, he knew that this was definitely not something to be trifled with.

That Ember Feather Immortal Phoenix began to circle above the territory.

Fortunately, all the Soldiers had undergone Bai Lingyue's Hell-like illusion training before, which allowed them to stabilize their minds and not be affected by the invisible pressure.

The Ember Feather Immortal Phoenix's amber eyes swept across the territory below.

Then, it opened its ivory-white beak.

Bai Lingyue saw its movement, sensed danger, and without time to think further, sternly said, "Everyone, pay attention! Dodge the attack from the sky!"

Her voice had just fallen.

Caw—

The orange-gold flames in the Ember Feather Immortal Phoenix's chest suddenly became incredibly bright.

A highly concentrated spiral of flames spewed forth from its mouth!

Wherever the flames passed, the air violently twisted, and the scorching heat wave made everyone's skin tingle with pain.

Boom—!

The orange-gold pillar of fire accurately struck the territory's wooden wall and several buildings behind it.

A violent explosion sounded, and flames instantly spread, engulfing a large area.

Thick smoke billowed, mixed with a pungent smell of burning, permeating the entire territory.

Several wooden houses near the wall were instantly ignited, turning into a sea of fire.

The Soldiers frantically dodged the falling sparks and burning debris from the sky, some Soldiers closer to the explosion point.

Even if they weren't directly hit, they were sent flying by the scorching heat wave, falling to the ground and letting out painful groans.

[Notification: LV3 Wooden Wall damage reached 50%, durability significantly decreased, please repair as soon as possible!]

[Notification: Wooden house x3 severely damaged, irreparable!]

The System notification sounded in Mo Yan's mind, making his face even uglier.

"Damn it, it's a flying leader!"

This type of flying enemy had a natural suppressive effect on ground units.

"This is troublesome now," he muttered to himself, his brows tightly furrowed.

Although the Frost Arrow Tower had a restraining effect on fire-type monstrous beasts, facing this level of flying leader, it could at most only serve as a harassment.

"Fortunately, there's the effect of the Pioneer title, otherwise that last attack would have certainly caused the wooden wall's damage to exceed 70%, or even directly collapse a section!"

The Ember Feather Immortal Phoenix was adjusting its stance, preparing to launch its next round of attack.

Mo Yan quickly made a decision and shouted to Bai Lingyue on the city wall, "Spiritual Moon, you are responsible for holding back that Ember Feather Immortal Phoenix in the sky.

"Use your illusion to interfere with it, hold it off for as long as possible, buy us time!"

"Gun Gun, let's finish this quickly, we can't let your Bai JieJie wait too long, then go support her!"

The Elite Fire Demons on the ground were still continuously destroying the wall; these immediate threats had to be dealt with first before they could free up their hands to deal with the big guy in the sky.

"Okay, all bad guys go to Hell, you're not allowed to bully Bai JieJie!" Gun Gun heard this and its attack speed doubled.

As the number of battles increased, its skill usage and attack techniques had improved significantly.
