"This time it's going to be tough!"
Zhang Jin's expression gradually darkened as he looked at the densely packed, mysterious crowd around him.
It seems that the king's advancement must be imminent, otherwise the third nest wouldn't have sent such a mysterious force to intercept and kill them a second time. You know, that king was still in the first nest. If they are in such a state, the situation in the other four nests must not be much better.
Especially the team heading to the first mysterious nest, even if there are more Star Realm experts hidden inside, the battle there must be even more brutal.
"roar!"
"Roar roar roar!"
The dimensional space was destroyed, and a great battle was about to break out. With a roar from a mysterious being at the Star Glory Realm, a roar also erupted from the mysterious group, and many of the mysterious beings instantly rushed towards the team located in the middle of the boulder.
"war!"
Zhang Jin also let out a loud shout, his aura exploding as he headed straight for the mysterious Star Radiance Realm.
This time, the mysterious group actually has eight mysterious figures at the Star Radiance Realm. They are determined to annihilate them all here. This battle will be extremely difficult. No matter what the final outcome is, they will not be able to advance any further.
"It's that half-dragon!"
Chi Chen looked at the approaching mysterious group and immediately spotted the half-dragon that was flapping its fleshy wings and rushing towards him.
Seeing this, Chen Sheng also took a step forward, and five spheres with a heavy texture appeared in front of him, which suddenly shot out and attacked the person in mid-air.
Last time, he had his left arm blown off by that half-dragon's breath, and this time he was determined to get revenge.
Under the crimson moon, amidst the giant stone forest, flames suddenly erupted, triggering a battle destined to be fierce.
...
The border of the Great Xia Dynasty, within its walls.
"What did you say? We haven't encountered a single mysterious creature along the way to Nest Number One?"
Han Jin's expression instantly turned somewhat gloomy as he listened to the report from his subordinates.
Zhang Rong's expression also changed. This didn't make sense. The mysterious King Seed who was about to advance to the Sheng Yang Realm was in the No. 1 Nest. It couldn't be so peaceful there.
Therefore, the team they sent to the No. 1 nest was the strongest team, with thirteen members at the Star Radiance Realm. Yet, the situation there is progressing so smoothly that it's almost unbelievable.
"What's going on? Isn't it that the royal species from Nest Number One about to advance?"
Zhang Rong frowned and looked at Han Jin, wondering if there was a problem with their intelligence.
"Impossible? I'm certain it's that royal species. Could it be that they've been secretly moved?"
Han Jin also frowned deeply. Although the five mysterious nests belonged to the same race, they did not get along well, especially the royal species, each of them wanted to devour the others to strengthen themselves.
Even though the five nests are not as hostile to each other as before now, in order to promote the king species in nest number one, the king species that is about to be promoted cannot leave its nest at this time.
If he goes to other nests, isn't he afraid that when he advances, other royal species will take the opportunity to sabotage him, devour him, and steal his fruits?
"Director Han, the team heading to point three sent a distress signal a few minutes ago, but the signal completely disappeared shortly afterward!"
Suddenly, another staff member strode into the room and delivered a message that caused Zhang Rong and Han Jin's expressions to change slightly.
"Number Three Nest?!"
Zhang Rong and Han Jin exchanged a glance. Wasn't that Chi Chen's team?
"Did that royal beast secretly move to Nest Number Three?"
Han Jin and Zhang Rong both had their suspicions. The team heading to Nest No. 3 also included six members at the Star Radiance Realm, with Zhang Jin, a peak Star Radiance Realm expert, leading the team. Their combat strength ranked second among the five teams. The fact that they could send out an emergency distress signal meant that they must have encountered a life-or-death crisis.
"Quickly signal the team at Nest 1 to send half of their forces to provide immediate support to Zhang Jin's team!"
Han Jin made a quick decision: regardless of the situation at Nest 1, rescuing the team at Nest 3 was the most important thing. If the team at Nest 3 were wiped out, it would be a heavy blow to them.
Zhang Rong glanced at Han Jin, who nodded slightly. Although he didn't want Zhang Rong to be exposed to those mysterious eyes so soon, Zhang Rong had no choice but to go now.
A moment later, under the cover of night, a figure soared into the air and headed straight for the location of Nest No. 3.
Inside the walls, alarms blared throughout the city, and many individuals with forbidden abilities quickly dropped what they were doing and rushed towards the city walls.
Standing on the roof, Han Jin watched Zhang Rong's departing figure, his expression slightly grim. If that Wang Zhong really went to Nest No. 3, then their intelligence had failed.
"The great battle is about to begin ahead of schedule!"
Han Jin looked at the red moon overhead and jumped off the roof. Tonight would be a sleepless night, as more troops would head out of the city on the border of the Great Xia Dynasty.
...
Returning our attention to Chi Chen, within the giant stone forest, countless giant stones had been destroyed, with large amounts of rock fragments scattered across the ground, even dividing the area into several small battlefields.
The 11 off-road vehicles that were originally protected by the team have now all been destroyed, which means that even if Chi Chen and his team win this battle, they will not be able to return to the city quickly.
"boom!"
Within an area divided by fragments of boulders, Chen Sheng, his face grim, manipulated a heavy sphere to repeatedly smash it against the half-dragon on the other side.
So far in the battle, the sphere has hit the half-dragon only a handful of times, and even when it did, it failed to leave a fatal wound.
That half-dragon was terrifying in terms of speed, defense, and strength.
"Damn it, it's definitely a royal bloodline!"
Chen Sheng spat out a mouthful of blood; ordinary mystics couldn't possibly be as terrifying as that half-dragon.
Not far from Chen Sheng, Chi Chen held a long sword, his Battle Domain continuously absorbing the mysterious power surrounding him. With the defensive support of the Battle Saint Armor, Chi Chen, who was now at the Solid Mirror level, could basically ignore the attacks of those ordinary Solid Mirror mysterious forces. He and his sword once again slaughtered everyone in the mysterious group, greatly reducing the pressure on the others.
On Chi Chen's fingers, the third-order forbidden object domain continued to retract and shoot out, piercing through one mysterious body after another time and time again.
The originally transparent silk threads had turned pale green, which showed just how many mysterious bodies Chi Chen had passed through.
At this moment, Chi Chen was an invincible killing god among those of the same level, but even so, those mysterious figures still charged towards Chi Chen fearlessly.
At this moment, Chi Chen truly felt the difference between these mystical beings and those in daylight. Under the red moon, apart from a few mystical beings at the Star Radiance Realm and some special ones, the rest of the mystical beings had no reason whatsoever. They did not understand what fear and death were.
The blood of their own kind, a bloody green, only serves to stimulate their brains, making them even more insane.
Some of the mysterious creatures even began to devour the corpses of their own kind, and their power grew even stronger. Chi Chen watched as several Solid Mirror Mysteries, after consuming the corpses of a few of their own kind, saw their cultivation levels surge to the Ascension Realm!
Although they still lack forbidden abilities, their strength and speed have increased dramatically.
Although the number of mysterious figures has been decreasing, the pressure on Chi Chen and his team has not lessened at all.
"Damn it, what's going on? Why is the mystery surrounding Nest No. 3 so insane?!"
Zhang Jin was engulfed in extremely hot flames, wielding a similarly burning longsword as he repeatedly thrust it at the mysterious Star Radiance Realm being in front of him.
Looking at the current tragic situation, Zhang Jin's face was filled with anger. In less than an hour, the team had suffered heavy casualties.
"Everyone, scatter and escape! Escape as many as you can!"
Zhang Jin swung his longsword, and a massive fiery sword shadow instantly condensed, slashing fiercely towards the battlefield behind him, instantly blocking the mysterious forces that were constantly surging towards the battlefield.
Zhang Jin knew that if they fought to the death here again, they might be completely wiped out.
At the same time, Long Yuan and the others also used their skills to carve out several paths for Chi Chen and the others in the mysterious group.
"Heh, trying to escape?"
"You're not getting away!"
Seeing this, the mysterious beings of the Starry Sky Realm all spoke in human language and attacked the six people ferociously. They could ignore the ants for now, but they had to keep Zhang Jin and his group of six here.
"Chi Chen, Qiu Yuan, take them and escape!"
Lu Sheng was struck on the shoulder by the half-dragon's claw, and his body flew backward instantly. He also shouted loudly at Chi Chen and the others.
Then, Lu Sheng, disregarding his injuries, drew his sword and manipulated the sphere to attack the half-dragon. Although he and the half-dragon were both at the Ascension Realm, the half-dragon, being a king among the mysterious beings, was far stronger than him.
By this point in the battle, Lu Sheng had already suffered considerable injuries, while the damage he had inflicted on the half-dragon had decreased significantly.
"Captain Lu! I'm here!"
Upon seeing this, Qiu Yuan roared and Fei Fan did not run away, but instead rushed towards Lu Sheng's direction.
Wu Gang and Lin Ling followed without hesitation.
"Chi Chen!"
Lin Bai and Qing Sheng, their faces slightly pale, leaned towards Chi Chen, awaiting his decision.
As Chi Chen watched the escape route, which had been painstakingly opened by the six people from Longyuan and was about to be filled with mystery again, yet no one seemed to want to escape through those gaps, the answer was already in his mind.
Although Chi Chen did not want to die here, there were still things he wanted to do that he had not yet accomplished.
But right now, isn't he doing what he wants to do?
Seeing this, Lin Bai and Qing Sheng understood Chi Chen's meaning. Then, the flame barrier created by Zhang Jin disappeared, and the mysterious force once again surrounded everyone like a tide.
"Foolish!"
Upon seeing this, Zhang Jin and his six companions cursed loudly, but their eyes flickered slightly.
"Damn mysterious plants, these are the sons of my Great Xia, far superior to you beasts who devour your own kind!"
Long Yuan roared angrily, but instead of dodging or avoiding the attacking mysterious creature, he allowed the bone spike to pierce his right shoulder. Then, a beam of energy erupted from his chest, instantly piercing the chest of the Star Radiance Realm mysterious creature. Even so, the mysterious creature did not die immediately. It decisively broke the bone spike that had pierced Long Yuan's shoulder and retreated quickly.
Seeing this, Long Yuan was about to give chase when another mysterious creature appeared in front of him, causing Long Yuan's expression to change.
Although Zhang Jin and his group of six were very strong, there were also some formidable fighters among the Star Radiance Realm mysteries, and the number of Star Radiance Realm experts among the mysteries was two more than theirs.
Even though Zhang Jin managed to hold off two of them, one of them still roamed the battlefield, constantly putting a lot of pressure on the other five.
On the high-level combat side, Chi Chen and his team have gradually fallen into a disadvantageous position.
"Lin Bai, Qing Ge, you two go help the others, you don't need to worry about me anymore!"
Chi Chen's head sank slightly as he looked at the long sword in his hand with a hint of helplessness. Why had he forgotten to bring a big stick?
"Chi Chen?"
Upon hearing this, Qing Sheng looked at Chi Chen with some confusion.
"Let's go, Brother Qing!"
Lin Bai spoke up, pulling Qing Sheng along to help the others.
Upon seeing this, Qing Sheng was slightly taken aback, but he didn't say anything. After giving Chi Chen a deep look, he and Lin Bai quickly joined the battle.
"Great Sage, I'm troubling you again!"
Chi Chen glanced at Lu Sheng and the others who were fighting fiercely against the half-dragon, a smug smile spreading across his face.
"Boy, if you get possessed too many times, your soul will suffer irreparable damage!"
The monkey's voice rang out, carrying a warning tone.
"Come on, Great Sage, let me admire your invincible battle stance again, and see how much I can learn this time!"
Chi Chen answered without hesitation.
"Hehe, kid, you better watch out for my performance!"
Upon hearing this, the monkey stopped trying to persuade him. He was warlike by nature, and now that he had a chance to fight, he naturally wouldn't let it go.
As for the damage to Chi Chen's soul, let that Sage Nuwa figure it out.
On the battlefield, an even stronger fighting spirit than before soared into the sky, and even Zhang Jin and the others couldn't help but turn their heads to look.
When they saw the source of that fighting spirit, they were all taken aback.
"Hehe! This feels amazing!"
On Chi Chen's face, arrogance was on full display. After being possessed by the monkey, the feeling of being full of power and being the only one who mattered was simply amazing.
The next moment, Chi Chen looked at the half-dragon.
Half-dragon, right? A royal race, right?
I'm slaying the royal blood!
