The four met on Sixth Street, but they only dared to stay a kilometer away.

"Have you ascertained the opponent's strength?" Leng Yue looked at Jiang Yuan with hopeful eyes.

Jiang Yuan is the only one with the strongest reconnaissance capabilities here, so he is the one on whom we place high hopes.

“There is another source of power that we cannot detect!” Jiang Yuan frowned. He vaguely sensed a sense of crisis here, but he had no way of knowing the specifics of the crisis.

What information is currently available for reconnaissance?

“The other party seems to be a nine-beast squad that is deliberately heading towards the west gate. Judging from their conversation and actions, their intelligence is not low!” Jiang Yuan said in a deep voice. “As for their specific strength, within my detection range, there are five Void Spirit Realm Level 1 beasts, two Void Spirit Realm Level 2 beasts, one Void Spirit Realm Level 3 beast, and one Void Spirit Realm Level 5 beast.”

As time goes by, the intelligence of the awakened monsters is gradually increasing. Originally, ninth-tier spirit beasts already possessed considerable intelligence, but now, the intelligence of beasts that have reached the Void Spirit Realm is no different from that of ordinary human beings.

“They’re all at the Void Spirit Realm!” Ning Yanlan hesitated. All four of them were at the ninth level, and the pressure of facing the Void Spirit Realm was immense.

"What should we do? Should we make a move?" Leng Yue was also undecided at this moment.

Jiang Yuan thought for a moment and said, "If we make a move, we can't give them a chance to react, otherwise we'll be in a tough fight. And since we don't know if there are any other Void Spirit Realm spirit beasts near the West Gate, we must retreat from the West Gate if our first attack fails!"

"Do we even need to think about it? Let's get this guy!" The chubby guy said in a low voice, but his momentum was extremely high.

"Yanlan, Lengyue, what do you think?" Jiang Yuan was also a proponent of war, but he still needed to consult the opinions of the other two girls in the team.

"I don't care. Anyway, with you and Little Fatty here, it can't be me and Yanlan who get beaten up!" Leng Yue was very calm. As one of the team's two favorite members, it was impossible for her to get beaten up.

Jiang Yuan: "..."

Little Fatty: "..."

Now only Ning Yanlan remained. The three of them looked at her in unison, and she nodded and said, "I can handle three of them; this is my limit!"

Of the four, only Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan possess special energy. Jiang Yuan's all-elemental and all-attribute abilities are undeniable, while Ning Yanlan, a member of the Spirit Race with a unique bloodline of ice and fire, is many times more powerful. As for Xiao Pang and Leng Yue, they seem much more ordinary. Xiao Pang possesses a single-elemental power energy; when everyone's bloodlines are equal, his only highlights are his shield-fighting skills tailor-made for him, his Power Sect inheritance, and his yet-to-be-revealed Titan Godhood. Leng Yue is similar to Xiao Pang, but her Dark Night Envoy inheritance combined with her Dark Night Hunter bloodline multiplies her combat power several times over.

"It's not nighttime, I can only take two shots!" Leng Yue estimated conservatively.

"Uh, it's me!"

Now it was Little Fatty's turn to feel awkward. Although he was the most warlike, it didn't mean he was good at killing people.

"I'll take care of the rest!" Jiang Yuan nodded.

"Brother Yuan, are you sure? There are still four left!" Little Fatty looked at Jiang Yuan in surprise.

"One for me and one for Little Dumpling, and two more for others!"

"Come out!" Jiang Yuan snapped his fingers, and two clones emerged from beside him. He smiled and said, "Let me introduce you, these are my clones!"

"two?"

The three stared at each other, finding it hard to imagine how Jiang Yuan had created two identical clones.

"What's wrong? Haven't you all seen it before?" Jiang Yuan was completely confused. These people had all seen his soul clone before, so why were they making such a fuss?

"Brother Yuan, how come you have another one?" Little Fatty asked.

Jiang Yuan acted normally and joked, "This is unexpected! Wouldn't you be scared to death if I told you I have three clones in total?"

Three!!!

The muscles in the chubby guy's face were twitching. This guy is making it impossible for anyone else to live!

"So, you control all three clones, or..." Leng Yue glanced at Ning Yanlan strangely, then shuddered, "Oh my, that's terrifying!"

"Little Yueyue, what are you thinking about!" Ning Yanlan scolded. She was certain that Leng Yue was thinking about something filthy.

"Big sister, this is all under my control, okay? Can't you put that energy into leveling up and fighting monsters?!" Jiang Yuan was speechless. What kind of evil thoughts were these?

"Yanlan, hang in there! If you can't take it anymore, tell your sister and she'll take care of him for you!" Leng Yue even patted Ning Yanlan's bottom lightly.

Jiang Yuan: "..."

"You're still making a scene!" Ning Yanlan almost covered her mouth.

"Brother Yuan, I finally understand that sentence!" Little Fatty whispered to me.

"What did you say?" Jiang Yuan was now questioning the meaning of life.

"Women are six times more lustful than men!" Little Fatty glanced at Ning Yanlan and Leng Yue with an air of seriousness.

"Stop, stop, stop! We have important business to attend to!"

Jiang Yuan had to speak up. What was all this nonsense? The situation was completely out of control.

"Cough cough!" Little Fatty coughed twice, trying to suppress his sobs.

Ning Yanlan then let Leng Yue go. When they parted, one had a shy look on her face and the other had a smug look on her face. They seemed to be getting along very well.

“I’ll assign the targets. Let’s make this quick. Once we’ve identified the Black Stone vein, the Oath will be ready to move into West Gate!” Jiang Yuan said solemnly.

If the Blackstone vein is worth mining, then the Oath will inevitably be pushed to Sixth Street; otherwise, then we will proceed step by step and slowly take control of West Gate.

"Okay, you can arrange it!"

"If we launch a sneak attack, the first few will have the highest success rate. Therefore, we'll target spirit beasts at the second and third stages of the Void Spirit Realm for our first attack. That means Leng Yue and Yan Lan will each attack a second-stage Void Spirit Realm beast, aiming for a one-hit kill. Once we engage at close range, the other spirit beasts will definitely notice. My target, however, is all the remaining spirit beasts. We'll attack together then, and even if our operation is exposed afterward, we'll at least reduce their fighting strength!"

"And what about me?" Little Fatty pointed to himself.

"Just be flexible and fill in wherever needed!" Jiang Yuan patted the chubby boy's shoulder, as if assigning him the most important task.

"A dignified Fatty like me has become a patchwork, how pathetic!" Little Fatty was almost pounding his chest in despair, but after wailing, he still happily accepted the task.

He didn't have much time to show off during the oath ceremony. Anyway, Brother Yuan would take care of him, so why not take advantage of the situation and not worry about food or money?

"Suppress your aura and prepare to attack within 100 meters!"

As Jiang Yuan spoke, he put away the little dumpling and his clone. None of the three of them had a way to suppress their auras, so they could only release them at the moment of attack to catch the opponent off guard.

The four of them made it to the black stone vein without any trouble. When the distance was reduced to one hundred meters, they also saw the enemy's lineup of beasts.

Nine spirit beasts, each with a different appearance but all large enough in size, surrounded a huge underground cave, seemingly guarding something.

"Locate the target and find a favorable attack position!"

The four decided on their target using hand gestures, and then each used their unique skills to continue their stealth.

When they were only thirty meters away, the group knew they could not get any closer, because getting any closer would definitely expose them.

"Let's do it!"
