“retreat!”
the eighth legion’s warriors were about to slaughter all the demonic beasts that they were surrounding until someone shouted. without hesitation, everyone flew away.
their bodies suddenly vanished mysteriously as if space had enveloped them.
those warriors had entered an illusion formation that had been activated from near a spatial crack. without getting close, there was no way to tell.
at this moment, a war chariot came racing over. ye lingfeng was standing atop it, only to see a mass of corpses from the demonic beasts. there were still some straggling demonic beasts fleeing.
“hm? curious, where are they? they retreated without even cleaning up the battlefield?” the person who had reported this in the first place couldn’t understand it.
“something seems off,” said one of the vice commanders. but he was unable to say what was off.
the eighth legion was famous for their poverty. when they cleaned up the battlefield, they wouldn’t leave a single thing. but now they had run off without even picking up a corpse?
boom!
suddenly, space exploded. runes filled the air, causing them all to jump. upon seeing those runes, ye lingfeng’s gaze turned cold. “mirror image runes.”
ye lingfeng instantly recognized them. no wonder he had felt it was odd. what they had been seeing was just a mirror image.
those runes exploded and roaring filled the air. a mass of titan blood bull demons came charging over. they had been here the whole time, and upon seeing a lone chariot rushing over, they had first been dumbfounded. but then seeing it was all alone, they didn’t overthink it and attacked.
“how stupid. they spent this much money just to give us some food?” ye lingfeng sneered. a group of titan blood bull demons was nothing to him.
however, he had yet to finish talking when another mirror image formation appeared behind them, splintering apart to reveal a group of black four-legged lizards. those lizards spat out black mist that surged toward them.
“activate the chariot’s defenses to block the poison mist!” ordered ye lingfeng.
the most terrifying aspect of those lizards was their poison. even armor could be corroded by it. it wasn’t the actual armor itself, but the runes that gave it its power that would be corroded.
suddenly, strange sounds came from the distance. someone cried “arrow bone rats!”
giant rats with bone spurs coming out of their backs were rushing over. those bone spurs were just as sharp as arrows.
as soon as they appeared, those bone spurs came shooting over. they exploded on contact with the chariot, and although the chariot was not damaged, it was shaking intensely. the magical beasts carrying it were wiped out.
countless runic swords were shooting out of the chariots, forcibly carving a bloody path through the demonic beasts. they didn’t even have time to pick up the corpses.
it was like ye lingfeng had angered a hornet’s nest, except it wasn’t hornets but millions of demonic beasts.
from a distance, long chen saw a line of dust appear in the sky as ye lingfeng fled. he sighed.
shen chengfeng also sighed. this was a sigh that represented the slightest relief from years of resentment.
the heavenly dragon warriors were starting to clean up the battlefield. one of them excitedly said, “the third legion’s flying dragon war chariots are really powerful. if we had one as well, wouldn’t we be able to reclaim our lost territory?”
“if we had such a thing, we would never have lost our territory.”
“don’t dream. such a treasure couldn’t be bought even if we saved all our points for three years. be more realistic and clean up the battlefield. hehe, it seems that we’ll not only get back our investment but also make some profit.”
all the heavenly dragon warriors felt great satisfaction looking at ye lingfeng’s wretched sight. not only that, but they were also picking up the corpses of powerful demonic beasts that could be exchanged for enough points to make up for what they had spent.
“long chen, that’s about enough. if we get any closer to the seventh legion’s camp, the formation will sense us,” said shen chengfeng.
right now, they were still on the edge of the region that the seventh legion’s camp could sense. the divine families had rules, and taking corpses that they hadn’t killed would be considered stealing.
of course, if no one saw, then rules became powerless. it would be troublesome though if they were noticed.
“based on our current profit, we haven’t lost out at all. we even profited a bit. we can leave now,” said shen chengfeng.
“leave now? do you think that when i go out, i’m satisfied with so little? it seems you really have gotten used to your poor days.” long chen looked at shen chengfeng with surprise.
“brother long... what did you plan to do?”
long chen was speechless. “how refreshing. this is just the start, and the good show has yet to begin. how could we stop now? we still haven’t used quite a few of the things that we bought.”
“ah? then what’s next?”
“next? next, we can just watch the fun. at this time, ye lingfeng should have returned to his camp.”
...
ye lingfeng truly had returned. however, when he did, he saw that there were no demonic beasts attacking. everything was still calm. the warriors stationed there stared at him in shock.
behind him was an army of demonic beasts charging over. ye lingfeng’s expression changed. he knew he had been scammed again.
“activate all the defenses! the arrow towers, war chariots, divine crossbows, and the dragon cannons must be unleashed!” roared ye lingfeng.
