The land spirits traveled back and forth between underground and the surface, bringing out a large number of Silver Laurel Moon Spirits, while Ye Chen returned to his territory.
As the lord of the territory, he cannot put himself in a dangerous situation. After understanding the surrounding situation, he can then communicate in real time through the projection.
The many Silver Moon Elf scattered and went to explore the surrounding darkness, while the battle on the ground was also in full swing through the projection.
The land and mountain gods continued to reinforce the rock layers above, yet large amounts of sand and gravel still fell, and the weather was sometimes frosty and sometimes scorching hot, clearly affected by the attacks of the Ice Demon Spirit and the Flame Firebird.
"Roar~~~" Through the projection, bursts of beast roars rang out. Compared to the battle between the big shots in the sky, the battle between the dark demons and the abyssal sea beasts below was even more shocking and tragic.
After all, the scene of tens of thousands of tribes fighting together is far more spectacular than the battles of the celestial beings.
Dark Demons are a relatively common type of abyssal monster. They are tall and imposing, with a height of over three meters, which looks quite frightening.
The abyssal sea beast, on the other hand, is a creature similar to a sea lion, but much larger. It is a mutation of the original marine creature and can easily be over ten meters long.
Although both are Tier 4 races, the Abyssal Sea Beasts are stronger and larger than the Dark Demons, but they are less numerous and less mobile.
Often, a few Dark Demons can leave numerous wounds on an Abyssal Sea Beast, and if a Dark Demon is hit, it will be severely injured at the very least.
"Tsk, these dark creatures are just as fierce in direct combat as we are!" Ye Chen said with a sigh as he looked at the projection.
Each of them struck with deadly precision and showed no mercy, as if they were mortal enemies. One couldn't help but wonder if, if the dark creatures were allowed to fight each other for a while, they might kill themselves out of the group.
“Dark creatures generally don’t fight each other unless they encounter natural enemies or are competing for resources. This is clearly under the orders of the Frost Demon and the Flame Firebird!” Jian Mengyi said, looking at the two Rank 6 creatures in the sky.
Among the dark creatures, the hierarchy is extremely strict. Higher-ranking dark creatures have absolute dominance over lower-ranking creatures. Therefore, when the mortal enemies, the Frost Demon Spirit and the Flame Firebird, meet, the two dark races below can only fight each other for their respective leaders, even if that leader is only temporarily in place.
"Tsk, how pitiful~~~" Ye Chen sighed. Falling into depravity was not their original intention, and now they can't even control their own behavior or life and death. It's really quite pitiful to think about.
"My lord, we've found other lords!" Suddenly, Ye Xi's voice rang out. A Silver Laurel Moon Elf who had gone out to scout had returned and indeed found the presence of other lords' families in the surrounding area.
"Have you found out what race they are?" Ye Chen asked.
“There are elves, dragonmen, lizardmen… many, about seven or eight races, but there are no high-ranking races, and they seem to be looking for something!” the Silver Moon Elf replied.
"What are they looking for? They're looking for us! It seems our sinking underground has brought them quite a surprise!" Ye Chen said with a light laugh.
“That’s true. But judging from these races, there are quite a few of them. If they can’t find us around, they’ll probably figure out we’ve gone underground very quickly!” Jian Mengyi nodded, a hint of worry on her face.
"It's alright. Even if they guess we're underground, they probably can't do anything about it. After all, these dark creatures up there aren't good at burrowing," Ye Chen replied. "However, we still have to be careful. We need to find a way to distract them!"
As Ye Chen spoke, he fell into deep thought. If he did not show himself on the surface, it would be easy to guess that he was hiding underground. However, if they could find him on the surface, Lin Hu and the others would only assume that he was hiding somewhere on the surface.
"Ye Ling, arrange for the Silver Moon Elf to make some appearances among these creatures to lure them into this valley!" Ye Chen said, pointing to a valley on a nearby topographical map.
This topographical map was compiled by him over the past few days. The valley was originally occupied by a group of Tier 3 creatures, but under his pay-to-win tactics, it was nuked and leveled in just one day, yielding a number of dark treasure chests.
"Ye Xi, send out Yue'e. While the Silver Osmanthus Moon Elf is drawing the enemy's attention, quickly plant a sufficient number of magic crystal bombs there so we can wipe them out in one fell swoop!" Ye Chen continued.
Since they were going to expose themselves, they needed a base on the ground. After Lin Hu and his group found out the location of Ye Chen and the others' base, they would naturally lead more dark creatures to rush towards this base. When the massive number of magic crystal bombs exploded, even a sixth-tier creature would be in trouble.
"Yes, sir!" Ye Xi and Ye Ling accepted the order and led their respective clansmen to make arrangements.
Soon, the various lords' families who had been wandering on the edge of the battlefield searching for Ye Chen's whereabouts "coincidentally" discovered the sneaky figures of the Silver Moon Elves and carefully followed behind them, hoping to find the location of Ye Chen's territory.
Sensing the scouts of various races following behind, the Silvermoon Elves exchanged smiles and darted through the forest into a valley.
The scouts behind wanted to follow, but found that a large number of stone statues and golems stood around, blocking the entrance and exit of the valley, which made the scouts dare not make any rash moves.
Before long, the scouts received messages from their respective lords, leaving a small number to keep watch while the rest disappeared into the darkness.
"What method do you think they will use to lure these dark creatures here?" Through the projection, Ye Chen watched the figures disappear outside the valley and asked Jian Mengyi beside him.
"What could it be? Rare and precious treasures! As long as we can deal with the Frost Demon Spirit and the Flame Firebird, the two races below will have no choice but to obey!" Jian Mengyi said with a sneer. This was also a common tactic used by the lord to lure monsters in the dark.
There are many things that are extremely attractive to dark creatures, such as the spirit orbs that lords need the most!
Consuming spirit orbs of the corresponding attribute can enhance the power of dark creatures in that attribute, and may even cause them to undergo advanced mutations.
For example, if this Flame Bird were given a high-level fire-type spirit orb, it could easily overpower the Ice Demon Spirit, and given enough time, it might even grow to level 7.
“That’s true. I wonder if any more new dark creatures will come. Anyway, we’ll wipe them all out in one fell swoop, killing as many as they come!” Ye Chen nodded, looking at the image on the projection with anticipation.
