The ten land deities attacked together. As land gods in the ancient Chinese mythology, they had an extremely strong control over earth-based magic.
The solid earthen wall suddenly rose and rapidly increased in height, a feat that even a high-level mage might not be able to accomplish, immediately surprising Zhou Wenbin and the others.
"Bang!" One after another, the huge, rotting carrion dogs crashed into the earthen walls, scattering large amounts of dirt, but they failed to knock the walls down directly.
"Woo~~~" The rotting corpse dog shook its dizzy head and paced back and forth under the earthen wall, seemingly thinking of a solution.
However, the landforms ignored them and continued to reinforce the earthen walls to prevent them from being destroyed by the pack of jackals. Some of the more agile jackals had already begun digging dog holes under the earthen walls or even going around them.
This is because the current strength of the land is not strong enough. The land beings in the late stage of Tier 3 are not able to build earthen walls in a short time to surround everyone's territory. They can only temporarily block the direction from which the pack of rabid dogs is charging.
"Wow~~~ These old men are actually this strong?" the fat man exclaimed. Normally, you can't really see the formidable strength of the landmen in their territory, but now that they've entered the Dark Origin Land, their strength has truly come to the fore.
"Build another earthen wall, leaving a gap in the middle for the pack of tadpoles to pass through!" Ye Chen said after thinking for a moment, watching the pack of tadpoles trying to get around them.
As the old saying goes, it's better to guide than to block!
There wasn't a single opening; the solid city walls would only allow the pack of rabid dogs to constantly circle around, and the landowners were no longer able to completely enclose their territories.
Rather than that, it would be better to leave two openings. If there is a way, the rabid dogs will not think of taking a detour outside the earthen wall. They will obediently enter through the gaps that Ye Chen opened for them.
Once they entered through the gap, they were met with hordes of mountain gods and mountain giants, as well as a deluge of arrows, spears, and stones.
"Wow! I never thought you could fight like that! Those bastards are all obediently squatting behind the gap and lining up to enter. Not many of them are going to take the long way around to the sides." Seeing that the bastards' offensive had finally been stopped, Fatty and the others breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ye Chen with admiration.
"Fighting tactics are fixed, but people are flexible. Use your brain more often!" Ye Chen curled his lip and continued to focus his gaze on the group of rotting corpses and rabid dogs.
These dark creatures weren't particularly strong, mainly consisting of Tier 0 and Tier 1 creatures. Tier 2 Corpse Hounds were only a minority, let alone Tier 3 Corpse Hounds, which were almost never seen.
These dark creatures can only grow to level 3 at most. To advance to level 4, they need to undergo a special form of evolution.
Although the rotting corpse dogs are not strong, their numbers seem to be endless.
After fighting for a few minutes, Ye Chen suddenly realized that the number of the enemy showed no signs of decreasing, and the rotting corpse dogs behind him still seemed endless.
"This number? Thousands? Or even... tens of thousands?" Ye Chen thought uncertainly.
Even he felt considerable pressure from this number of rotting corpse dogs, considering that his entire clan only numbered a little over a hundred.
"Should! Should! At least! Ten thousand!" Zhou Wenbin stammered. This one-way resistance against the rotting corpse dogs was much more comfortable than facing the overwhelming dark creatures outside.
At least most of the rotting ghouls were unable to break through the mountain giant's defenses, while the few remaining strong ones were easily killed by the concentrated attacks of the others.
"Starting at ten thousand?" The fat man exclaimed in surprise upon hearing his words.
Zhou Wenbin nodded innocently, glanced at Le Xinghai beside him, and the chubby boy once again took on the role of translator.
"That's pretty much it. The number of dark creatures here is terrifying, and once they're triggered, an entire group will come out. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had to flee last time!" He shrugged and explained with a helpless expression.
"By the way, the place where we found the Holy Light Stone is in that direction. There were no dark creatures guarding it when we came last time, but after we took the Holy Light Stone, a pack of dire wolves suddenly appeared. We were a little slow in breaking through, which is why Wenxuan was tainted by the darkness."
"So, the place where we got the Holy Light Stone is now occupied by a pack of dire wolves?" Ye Chen frowned slightly.
Dire wolves are not like carrion hounds. If there are tens of thousands of these lowest-ranking dark creatures, even he would have to retreat.
“If those dire wolves didn’t leave, then they probably did!” Lü Zi’ang replied, picking up where he left off.
Hearing this, Ye Chen rubbed his temples helplessly; things were much more troublesome than he had imagined.
The pack of tens of thousands of dire wolves, whose main strength was around level 1 to 2, was simply too much for him to handle with his current strength.
"There are too many of them, we need to think of other ways!" the fat man said. He was well aware of his own strength, and he also knew that even with the earthen wall, they couldn't pose a threat to the dire wolf pack.
"How many magic crystal bombs do you have left?" Ye Chen asked after a moment's thought.
"Magic crystal bombs? We've stockpiled quite a few these past few days. There should be over a thousand Rank 0 ones, several hundred Rank 1 ones, and even dozens of Rank 2 ones. Do you want to use them?" the fat man replied.
"Once we've cleared out these rotting corpses and scavengers, have your goblins go out and dig holes to bury all the magic crystal bombs underground."
"Fatty, are you sure that once we step into the territory of the dire wolves, they will chase us relentlessly?"
“Yes, that’s certain. It seems to be a special rule in this space.” Le Xinghai nodded.
"No, this shouldn't be a rule, but a restriction, a restriction that prevents the dark creatures in the space from making rash moves," Ye Chen said, shaking his head.
"Later, send out a few fast Red Birds to lure the Dire Wolves away from their territory. We'll use this earthen wall as cover to fight them!"
"But these earthen walls shouldn't be able to stop the dire wolves, right?" the fat man reminded him with a hint of worry.
"A temporary city wall is not acceptable, so we need to give the landowners time to reinforce and expand it."
"Also, there are those magic crystal bombs you buried outside. They're landmines. Try to clear out as many dire wolves as possible!"
Ye Chen explained that by using the magic crystal bombs as landmines, his small number of followers would be like a mayfly trying to shake a tree in such a large-scale war, unable to make even the slightest ripple. In many places, they were even inferior to the fat man's goblins.
"Then I'll have those guys make a few more while they have the time, anyway, these things are quick to make!" Upon hearing that his magic crystal bombs would be used, the fat man immediately nodded excitedly, as if his own value had been recognized, and excitedly ran towards his territory.
