Battles in the Void were very difficult to define. If you encountered an exotic beast with muscles but no brains, it would be a boss-killing operation, leveling up, and picking up treasures. If you encountered an exotic beast with muscles and brains, hehe, it would be a boss-killing operation. In such a situation, you might not even have time to escape.
Now, Tang Shidao had the feeling that he had encountered an 'army'.
Six huge Void Worms were wreaking havoc.
They did not seem to be doing their own thing. Instead, they seemed to be cooperating with each other. Under normal circumstances, hunting Void Beasts was like hunting whales in ancient times. Although whales were very dangerous, they would definitely not cooperate. Whales were not as intelligent as humans. They were just strong. Think about it, they could cooperate like wasps. Whoever dared to go against them would be courting death.
Baek Sung-nam saw Tang Shidao's strange expression and said softly, "Did you notice? They're not targeting us."
"Targeting Tigerheart?"
"Yes. Before the first centipede broke in, the intelligence officer came back early to warn us that there were such sentries on the other side of the rift. But there was no second time. Five strange worms came together, but the sentries seemed to be blind. There must be a problem. Either the sentries were killed, or they had no choice but to escape. In short, they did not warn us. This is a battlefield. What's the difference between not having enough intelligence and courting death? "Baek Sung-nam explained.
"Some of the intelligence officers just now were magic puppets, right?" Tang Shidao did not participate in the battle, but he saw the whole situation.
"Yes. Magic puppets don't have to worry about death, so it's more convenient to use them. Sometimes, when Void Beasts have intelligence, the magic puppets can also give feedback. For example, if a magic puppet with a hundred rings was sent to the other side of the rift, but it died in a few seconds, the Void Beasts on the other side must be very scary. Based on the Void Beasts' movements, the Warriors can also determine whether they have high intelligence. "
"Now, is there a problem with the Void Beasts or the people?"
"The people," Baek Sung-nam said with certainty.
"There are people here who dare to trick the Warriors on the defensive line of the rift?" Tang Shidao was a little surprised.
"Of course. For example, another army force, or some fellows operating in the shadows. Old Tang, this isn't the Sorcerer's Web. There is no order in the shadows. "
"I can understand. However, it won't do them any good if the soldiers on the frontline are killed, right? "
"There's no harm in that."
"…"
"You're too used to the 'safe zone' mode of the Sorcerer's Web. Do you think you'll only do it because there are benefits? No, he would do it even if there were no benefits. People who lived in the shadows hated soldiers. These soldiers protected a group of people, established some Star Dwellers, and established some order. The problem is that the people in the shadows don't want that. They want the void beasts to charge over, flatten the defensive line, and slaughter everyone, leaving only planets and resources the beasts don't need. "
"They hope for chaos and for the shadow to spread?" Tang Shidao understood.
"That's right. The bigger the shadow, the more areas they could move in. In their minds, the God Kingdom should be black. The various armies cooperated with each other, but more often than not, they schemed against each other. The simplest reason is, do you know how much profit we'll get if we take down these million-ringed insects? "
"I'm not sure."
"The average profit from the void battlefield is one percent. Beast skin, beast bones, beast armor, and other materials are more than thirty percent, and there are less Saint Crystals left. Even if there's less, there'll be at least tens of thousands of Saint Crystals. There's so much for one insect, not six. If we kill them quickly, they'll consume less, and the profit can even be multiplied several times. "
"One Saint Crystal is roughly equivalent to one ring of a Saint Artifact. So, they're waiting for Tiger Heart to ask for help?" Tang Shidao was a Master Artificer, so he could understand with one calculation.
"Yes. That's not enough. The threat isn't great. Tiger Heart can just ask for help from his own army. If the battle situation worsens, the army leader will have to ask for help from other armies, or even from the powerhouses operating in the shadows. Once help is requested, the 'reward' paid will definitely not be small. The most common ratio is that others invest half of the reinforcements, and you have to give them half of the profit. "
"What if the plan falls apart?"
"It doesn't matter. This area is the territory of Tiger Heart's army. The first unlucky ones are Tiger Heart's army and the Star Dwellers. Sometimes the beasts that come in are too strong, and it's easy to crush an area. However, it still doesn't matter. The beasts wreak havoc in the shadow area. If they can't get anything to eat, they'll either return to the other side of the crack or head to a place with light. "
"In the end, the ravaged shadow area will still fall back into the hands of the army or the Shadow Hands?" Tang Shidao's gaze was cold.
Baek Sung-nam nodded lightly, taking it as an answer.
The answer was very hurtful.
But it was very real.
Whether it was the powerhouses operating in the shadows or the army occupying the territory, they were all forces that maintained themselves. They didn't care much about what happened in the shadow area. They were different from normal void forces. Void forces usually prioritized protecting their own territory, while shadow forces didn't need to. They prioritized protecting their own interests.
It felt like.
Void forces were like warlords, while shadow forces were more like bandits.
In fact.
Tang Shidao and Baek Sung-nam didn't guess wrong. Soon, another group of even larger void beasts broke in. They were of a variety, as if they had gathered from many different places. They didn't seem to belong to the same group at all. At the beginning, some of the beasts started tearing at each other, as if they couldn't tolerate each other.
After a while, the whole place was a mess.
Tigerheart saw the change in the situation and immediately flew over. "Captain Tang, we may have been tricked. Please help us hold them off for a while and wait for our reinforcements to come. The leader has already ordered people to start the evacuation plan. Once we can't hold on, we'll immediately abandon Planet Residence. Now we still need to buy some time and see if we can salvage the situation. Please don't worry, we'll pay 20% more. "
Tang Shidao was surprised. "You're still planning to leave with ordinary people?"
Tigerheart nodded. "Although it's very difficult, the leader won't give up. The leaders of the other races are close friends with our leader. In the past, they sacrificed their lives for the team. The leader can't abandon their remnant races. Captain Tang, please help us. No matter if we succeed or fail, we'll pay you enough. "
"There's no need."
"Ah." Tigerheart was disappointed. He thought that the First Saint didn't have a good impression of the shadow area, so it wasn't strange for him to refuse.
He was about to cup his hands.
Returning to the battlefield.
Tang Shidao said again, "Captain Tigerheart, we don't need to do anything yet. I'm not sure to what extent Yi Hui, Chen Feng, Rock Movement, Green Sun, and Ten Wolves can do, but Meimo, Lan Ji, and Wu Yue-er, the three of them are completely capable of suppressing the battlefield. Don't worry, everyone hasn't tried their best. Now we're just letting those team members practice in actual combat. "
Tigerheart was stunned and thanked him with suspicion.
At this time, Baek Sung-nam, who was standing to the side, was also a little puzzled. He didn't understand what Meimo, Lan Ji, and Wu Yue-er were capable of.
According to the known records, the three of them were just 'flower vases' on a battlefield of this level.
After a while.
Tigerheart's leader came over with a large group of people. He was a half-dragon and called himself Dragon Shield. After hearing Tigerheart's explanation and seeing Meimo and the others fighting, he didn't say much. Arriving in front of Tang Shidao, he said bluntly, "Thank you for your help, Captain Tang. However, they're not the main force at the moment. There are even stronger beasts coming from behind. Please be careful, Captain Tang. Don't be careless. "
Tang Shidao just smiled and replied, "We'll be careful." Then, he didn't say anything else.
Seeing this reaction, what else could Dragon Shield say?
Both sides fought a bloody battle.
Slowly, more and more beasts came in through the crack. The pressure on the gods' descendants also increased. At this time, a group of strange black figures flew over. Other than secretly observing Tang Shidao's actions, someone also whispered to Long Gang, as if discussing some kind of deal. Long Gang listened and glanced at Tang Shidao from afar. He gritted his teeth and shook his head.
"Hmph, don't regret your loss." Those people snorted and left.
"At most, I'll give up my territory. I won't regret it." Long Gang tried hard to encourage himself, believing that Tang Shidao and the others could help.
Unfortunately …
His confidence was quickly shattered.
There seemed to be no end to the void beasts. Soon, a large group of them rushed in. Not only were they large in number, but their general strength was also higher. More importantly, the defense line was already overflowing with this number. It was impossible to stop all of them.
At this time.
Yi Hui flashed back. "Old Tang, this number is troublesome. Someone's going to die. How about it? Let's go all out? "
Tang Shidao saw that a small number of beasts couldn't stop them and began to wander around. They could scatter and run away at any time.
At this time, he didn't think too much about it.
He said softly, "Meimo, you clean up the mess."
Meimo listened in the distance. "Brother Tang, are you sure? That power …"
Tang Shidao interrupted, "Yes, it doesn't matter. I'm not relying on one kind of power as a guarantee."
Meimo nodded. "Okay then. Hee, I've been wanting to give it a try."
Long Gang and the others didn't understand, but Lan Ji and Wu Yue-er had already called for all the gods' descendants to retreat. Everyone didn't understand, but they didn't hesitate. In a battle in the void, teamwork was very important. If they didn't trust each other, they wouldn't form a team.
Meimo didn't waste any time.
She stretched out her hand.
She raised her arm.
In an instant, countless light patterns appeared in the air, like some kind of special totem.
As the light patterns appeared, Meimo crossed her arms again.
In the blink of an eye.
The light patterns that filled the sky returned to Meimo's body, compressing into a magnificent cloud pattern. Immediately after, Meimo's entire body shone brightly, like an exploding sun. By the time the humans and exotic beasts realized what was going on, a thin layer of mist had already covered the vast sky.
When they saw it, everything was misty.
"This is …" Long Gang and the others were shocked.
"King's Domain." Baek Sung-nam's eyes flashed with a strange light, as if he was very interested. "Only the King's Domain has a domain phenomenon, ordinary domains don't. The cloud phenomenon … Hmm, this is the King's Domain of the Great Curse, right? Totem Origin, King's Domain, multiple domains. Very good, not bad. Old Tang, isn't the Great Curse one of your six great curses? "
Tang Shidao only smiled and didn't reply.
At this time, the void beasts also realized who their biggest enemy was. They all turned around and pounced towards Meimo.
Almost at the same time.
Countless clouds surged and scattered, forming a huge sea of clouds in the thin fog area.
However, it wasn't over yet.
Countless Calamitous Clouds gathered like a whirlpool, quickly forming a cloud pillar around Mei Mo. At this time, there were also beasts that pounced forward, but they were all bitten to pieces by the 'Devouring Cloud'. The beasts retreated in shock, and soon, the cloud vortex turned into a cocoon. In the blink of an eye, when the scattered clouds scattered, a huge figure appeared.
Meimo.
The huge her was standing on a dead star, like an ordinary person stepping on a basketball.
"Roar!"
Seeing such a giant, the void beasts roared and pounced forward crazily.
However.
Meimo only gently raised one hand, and a black vortex cloud formed in her palm. Then, like a black hole, it produced an infinite gravitational force, quickly sucking in all the beasts in the King's Domain. At this time, within the range of the 'thin fog', the entire sky was affected by the gravitational force, and the space was distorted.
In just a few breaths.
Except for the strongest and largest dozens of void beasts, the rest all disappeared in the palm.
The next second.
Countless blood-red clouds appeared in the sky, and countless broken bones splashed and scattered like raindrops.
In just one move.
