The sleeping guards piled up layer upon layer at the bottom of the giant net, while the monster strolled leisurely across it, seemingly unimpeded by the threads that formed the net.
He was seen moving up and down, inside and outside the net, heading directly towards a powerful being of the Yi race who was stuck in the center of the net and struggling endlessly.
"Xiao Huan!" Lady Lian cried out in alarm, her figure flying out. She saw that the monster had already arrived beside Xiao Huan. Hearing the sound, it raised its head towards Lady Lian, and its ferocious head actually smiled in a human-like manner. Then it lowered its head and buried the front of its head into Xiao Huan's body.
"Mother!" Xiao Huan cried out in agony and then fell silent. Her body visibly withered away.
Lady Lian was not far from the giant net. Upon seeing this, she trembled and a dozen red rays suddenly shot out. The monster was sucking Xiao Huan's blood while its claws exerted force. The net suddenly deformed, and the monster, carrying Xiao Huan, dodged to the side.
The moment the crimson light touched the giant net, it immediately broke apart, and the Yi Clan army surged forward like a tidal wave once more.
"Little girl, your daughter tastes really good. I'm looking forward to tasting you! Hahahaha..." The monster suddenly spoke in human language, and with a loud laugh, disappeared into the dense forest, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
"Destroy this forest completely and slaughter the entire city of Nanhe!" Lady Lian coldly ordered, watching the monster's departing figure without giving chase.
When the last large tree in the dense forest crashed down, a day and a night had passed. The Zhi Clan and the Zhang Huang Clan's blocking army, who had been hiding in the forest like the monster, either fled or were annihilated, while the vanguard of the Yi Clan's army reached the vicinity of the main road leading into Nanhe City.
A magnificent gatehouse stands on the main road, with the two large seal characters "Nanhe" on the plaque at the top and a banner below that reads, "Welcome to Nanhe, a major town in the Northwest, the hometown of Xiezhong, and a beautiful place."
The Yi tribe army encountered fierce resistance from the Zhanghuang tribe near the gate tower. The main force of the resistance consisted of a large number of scorpions of varying sizes that were entirely black, as well as a black, humanoid creature with a pointed tail that flipped up, resembling a powerful Xie Zhong with a long braid.
The Zhanghuang tribe's firearms once again proved their worth, with helicopters and armored vehicles even arriving to assist. The Xie tribe, composed of scorpions, mainly set up defenses on the highway, while the defensive army composed of other Zhanghuang tribes advanced along both sides of the road, blocking the Yi tribe's army outside Nanhe City.
In the sky surrounding the gate tower, the two sides' powerful forces were locked in a fierce battle. Because Xie Zhong, a powerful being, could not fly, the ground Yi Clan army suddenly felt the pressure and lost its previous sharp momentum, unable to get close to the gate tower.
Although Lady Lian went to the battlefield immediately, the powerful members of the Zhanghuang clan who had besieged her the day before, such as dung beetles, also joined the battle and surrounded Lady Lian.
At first, Wang Yao felt that this would be another battle on the southern slope of the mountain behind them, near the dense forest. The Yi tribe would be at a disadvantage initially, but would gradually gain the upper hand as their reinforcements joined, and in the end, the Yi tribe would defeat the Zhang Huang tribe and occupy Nanhe City.
However, when he saw that no more Yi tribe troops appeared on the distant snow-capped mountains, and that the seemingly endless Yi tribe army had finally all arrived on the narrow plain outside Nanhe City, he became somewhat uncertain about the outcome of the battle.
As it turns out, even the largest number of insects will eventually be wiped out. The forces that the Yi Clan has committed to the attack are already stretched thin, and the nearest reinforcements are coming from Xiaomei City to Nanhe City. Even at the fastest speed of the Yi Clan army, it will take them two days and two nights to reach Nanhe City.
Xiaomei City has just experienced a major battle, so how many reinforcements can it send? Considering this, it will be a long time before the second wave of troops actually arrives, making it difficult for the Yi tribe to rely on reinforcements in this battle.
In the sky, the number of powerful members of the B clan was significantly less than that of the Zhanghuang clan. Some powerful members of the B clan were besieged by two or three members of the Zhanghuang clan. As a result, the B clan members died at a much faster rate than the Zhanghuang clan. Lady Lian's personal warriors had all left her side to join the battle.
"Once the Yi tribe is defeated, Lady Lian will definitely be hunted down by the Zhang Huang tribe. Wouldn't that make me and Hui Shuo Lady Lian's hostages?"
"If Commander Lang reappears, it's hard to say whether Madam Lian can escape. When things get really bad, there's no guarantee that the old beggar woman won't use us, father and son, to cause trouble."
"I have magical powers, so I'm naturally fearless, but I can't do that with Hui Shuo. The key is whether that Commander Lang values our lives at all. Compared to Lady Lian, he might be worthless."
Wang Yao glanced at Hui Shuo, who was lying there like a turtle, and felt more and more frightened. No, he had to find a chance to escape. He couldn't stay here.
As he was pondering how to escape in the face of battle, he saw that Lady Lian's body beneath his feet emitted rays of red light, as if Lady Lian had become a luminous being.
"Hurry!" In the midst of the fierce battle, two men suddenly appeared from among the many arms, clasping their fists to their chests and shouting.
As she cried out, Wang Yao was astonished to find that Lady Lian had split in two, becoming two Lady Lians. Then, Lady Lian split into four, four into eight, and eight into sixteen. In a short while, hundreds of Lady Lians appeared on the battlefield, and the situation of the enemy outnumbering us was immediately reversed.
However, Wang Yao also noticed that as the clone appeared, Lady Lian's body also shrank slightly. In battle, she no longer attacked more than she defended, but instead maintained a tight defense and no longer attacked rashly.
Nevertheless, due to the large number of clones appearing in Lady Lian's clones, the battle among the powerful beings took a turn for the better, and the rate at which the powerful beings of the Zhanghuang clan perished increased rapidly.
However, the powerful members of the Zhanghuang clan did not retreat immediately when they saw the situation was not right, as they had done before. Instead, they continued to hold on, while the powerful members of the Xie clan on the ground also emitted piercing screams.
