"Everyone, split into two groups!"

Jiang Yuan shouted at the crowd, and after seeing the fifty-two people orderly separated, he continued, "Today's task is very simple!"

"That means survival!"

Jiang Yuan pointed to the West Gate area where the monsters were howling, and then looked at each one as if trying to memorize their appearance.

"Now, everyone can come here to collect supplies. Weapons, pills, or treasures—take whatever you want, as long as you think you can live to see tomorrow!" Jiang Yuan said calmly.

"Boss, are you coming in with us?" the dark-skinned young man asked nervously.

"No, you are isolated and helpless in this battle!" Jiang Yuan calmly shook his head, and after waiting for about half a minute, he said loudly, "So, is there anyone who wants to withdraw now!"

"After all, this is an operation where death could be claimed at any moment!"

Jiang Yuan was not exaggerating. In the monster-occupied area, in the battle zone between the beast tide and the South City, it can be said that the occupied area is one of the most dangerous places.

Everyone remained silent, no one spoke, they simply walked quietly over to Jiang Yuan to collect the supplies, taking action was their best option.

When they watch hundreds of thousands of people die before their eyes and are powerless to stop it, some people have already abandoned life and death. All they see is power. Even if they enjoy a moment of peace in the South City, reason tells them that this peace is just a slow poison that will only erode a person's fighting spirit and eventually make them die silently.

Without a doubt, all fifty-two people standing here are like this; they need external stimuli to turn pressure into motivation.

"Are you sure nothing will happen?" Liu Zhaodi asked worriedly, looking at the people walking in two different directions.

"You're worried about them? It seems like you haven't known them for more than two hours!" Jiang Yuan was puzzled. Liu Zhaodi wasn't the type to be overly familiar with people, except for him, of course!

“Why can’t I worry about them?” Liu Zhaodi retorted matter-of-factly.

"Why? It must be because you two aren't familiar with each other!"

Liu Zhaodi scoffed, "Who said we're not close? Didn't you hear everyone calling me 'sister-in-law'? What an affectionate way to address someone!"

Jiang Yuan shuddered and said, "You're amazing, you've given me goosebumps all over!"

"Haha, so this is what it's like to be the boss's woman!" Liu Zhaodi was almost bursting into laughter.

Hey, where are you?! You didn't wait for me again!

However, after Liu Zhaodi finished laughing, Jiang Yuanren disappeared again, and he even deliberately concealed his presence, which was driving her crazy.

Today, West Gate is destined to be anything but peaceful. The Oath Reserve Forces, splitting into two groups, have divided the West Gate area in two, each beginning to clear out the monsters in their respective areas. Calling it clearing out isn't entirely accurate, because the monsters are coming to them on their own.

Whether it's a lone monster or a horde of monsters, they all possess a strong sense of territory. As long as someone intrudes, they don't even need to look for them; the monster horde will come to them one after another. Moreover, since the reserve group's strength is only average, those monsters will only fight back against the intruders head-on rather than flee in fear.

As for Jiang Yuan, he remained highly vigilant at all times. He needed to monitor the ninth-tier spirit beasts throughout the entire West Gate area to ensure that no ninth-tier spirit beast could instantly kill the two teams.

"Boss, could you fly a little slower?!"

Jiang Yuan looked down and saw Liu Zhaodi running hard on the ground. He had a faint smile on his lips but ignored Liu Zhaodi, letting her experience the wickedness of people's hearts on her own.

"Hmph, you bastard, I'm not leaving!" Liu Zhaodi stopped walking and started stomping her feet.

Jiang Yuan had no intention of paying attention to her, but suddenly a hidden aura rushed towards the second team, which startled him instantly.

Team One had Zhang Ziping in charge; he was at least an eighth-tier spiritual energy user. Although the other twenty-five members couldn't kill a ninth-tier spirit beast, they could still hold their own against it. Team Two, however, was weaker. Not to mention eighth-tier members, they barely had any seventh-tier members.

"Boss, a ninth-tier enemy is attacking! Send reinforcements immediately!"

At the same time, Mo's voice also appeared in the sound transmission stone.

Jiang Yuan swooped down towards Liu Zhaodi. When she saw Jiang Yuan coming towards her, she thought he was heartbroken for her. Before her joy could fully show on her face, Jiang Yuan pulled her out of the shadows.

"Jiang Yuan, I know you like me, but could you be a little gentler? I'm making a meme!" Liu Zhaodi was very concerned about her image while fixing her hair. This sudden acceleration caught her off guard, and she suspected that Jiang Yuan was deliberately trying to embarrass her.

"Breath of Stone, prepare for battle!"

Although Jiang Yuan's commanding words made Liu Zhaodi very unhappy, she also knew that the situation was urgent. She knew that Jiang Yuan was very clear about right and wrong. It didn't matter how naughty you were with him normally, but if you messed up at a critical moment, she had no doubt that Jiang Yuan would stab her, his little darling, to death.

"Mmm-hmm!" Liu Zhaodi obediently activated her Stone Breath and pointed in a specific direction. "The opponent is a ninth-tier Golden Blade Mantis, and it's charging at full speed now!"

Monsters that lie in wait may be able to evade the detection of the Stone Breath, but when in a battle state of energy turmoil, no monster can escape the Stone Breath.

"Let's go!" Jiang Yuan unleashed his Divine Wings without restraint in this occupied area.

In just thirty seconds, the battle between Team Two and the Golden Scythe Mantis had already begun, and the battle was obviously very fierce. The Golden Scythe Mantis's terrifying speed and sharp mantis blades caused heavy losses to Team Two.

Fortunately, no one in the second team died because of the appearance of a shadow, but many were seriously injured.

"Dark Strike!" In order to buy time to save the second team, Mo had no choice but to expose himself to the sunlight.
