The scene on the observation crystal ball kept switching, staring at the three alien Transcendents who sneaked into the Tree Shade, and the thirty or so Transcendents waiting outside.
Currently, the Tree Shade's Transcendents were Nancy, Elaine, Yan Dingtian, Sky, Hong Yue, Gretel, Roger, Tyron, Winnie, and Oguri, a total of ten Transcendents.
There were also No. 1, No. 2, and three Transcendents.
There were fifteen Transcendents, but only Elaine and Nancy had experienced Transcendents. No. 1 and No. 2 were also close to the strength of Transcendents after being upgraded.
However, compared with the alien race, this force was still not enough.
Even with the nearly ten airships currently stationed in the territory.
Tang Yu knew that there was no lack of senior Transcendents in the Blood Mouth Clan. They even escaped from the mouth of the Transcendent Rank 2 Unicorn.
More importantly, the territory.
Among the guards, the Survey Corps, and the Garrison Corps, several elite squads who didn't participate in the military exercise took action.
… …
Adventurer's Guild.
Elder Yamaguchi disguised as an adventurer and took the task of guarding the Ancient Tree of Spirits.
She didn't doubt it too much. This matter was originally 90% true and 1% false. Even the team that was usually stationed in the mining area was indeed transferred away on the grounds of "the shelter's lack of defense personnel".
The Ancient Tree of Spirits' attraction to the alien race was deadly enough.
There were also several adventurers wandering in the "Adventurer's Guild" who received the commission.
There were very few people, confirming the concerns of the two girls at the front desk.
Not long after, nearly ten adventurers, led by the guild staff, walked through the mountain road and entered the forest.
The dense branches blocked the sun.
But it was very quiet. There were no demonic beasts, birds, or insects.
After walking for about a few kilometers, the roar of demonic beasts came into their ears. Then the front suddenly opened up, and the huge pit where the spirit stone mine was located came into view.
Today, the existence of the spirit stone mine in the Tree Shade Back Mountain was no longer a secret, including the giant tree with white branches and leaves that took root and grew on the mine.
On weekdays, the spirit stone mine was still a prohibited area. But today …
Hiss ~
At this time, under the giant tree, hundreds of demonic beasts were entrenched. It seemed to be a small number, but the adventurers who had skillfully recited the "Demonic Beast Illustrated Handbook" were shocked to find that these demonic beasts were all above Sixth Awakening.
There was no lack of Tenth Stage Super Demonic Beast.
The Corps of hunters stationed in the mining area were relying on the arrow towers and fortresses on the edge of the pit to resist the attack of the demonic beast.
Close to ten adventurers immediately entered the fort and coordinated with the garrison army to defend.
The pass elder was among them.
When she was only two to three hundred meters away from the Spirit Ancient Tree, she had already discovered that her murky soul was slowly being purified under the radiance of the Spirit Ancient Tree.
If she could cultivate under the Spirit Tree and reach Transcendent Rank-2, she would be 20% more confident.
— Their races were controlled by the "Devil Race", which was a drawback. But on the Planet of Origin, there was a possibility to solve this drawback.
The attraction of the ancient tree to the demonic beast was even more fatal. They were just weapons for combat. But if they could purify their soul, the demonic beast would become a real life. It's not impossible for them to break through the transcendent.
Elder Pass Pass stared at the Spirit Ancient Tree and couldn't help but feel regretful. If he knew this would happen, he wouldn't have invited the Nether Ghost Race and the White-eyes Race!
Business was more important …
"The Tree Shade's Transcendent has the ability to quickly arrange a terrifying Thunder Punishment Array in the wild. This shows that their formation skills are extremely high."
She pondered, "Then in their own territory, with sufficient time and resources, Tree Shade is likely to have arranged a large array covering several kilometers. Once you step into it, it will attract more lightning punishment attacks."
"And this Ancient Spirit Tree is rooted in the Origin Crystal Mine. It is a natural formation core. If we use it as the core, we can save at least half of the effort …"
Elder Yamaguchi used his knowledge of runes and formations to analyze and quickly came to a conclusion.
"There's a 99.99% chance that the core of the formation is the Ancient Tree of Souls … Although it would be a waste to destroy it, for the sake of safety …"
She began to use the unique communication method of the Blood Mouth Tribe to summon her non-human brethren ten kilometers away.
…
At the same time.
The other two elders of the Blood Mouth Clan arrived near the castle.
Elder Yamaguchi retracted her spiritual power. Not far away, a waiter was stunned. He thought it might be a heatstroke and fainted, then shook his head and left.
"Confirmed. Because of the Tree Shade's castle banquet, the Transcendent among the guests, including most of the Tree Shade's own Transcendents, are currently in the west side restaurant. As long as we don't attract the attention of human Transcendents, the disguise is impossible to be exposed."
They walked into the shade of the tree, covered their figures, and quickly completed the disguise. They became two waiters, talking and laughing as they walked into the castle.
Passing through the castle garden, they walked into the corridor. They didn't dare to spread out their spiritual power to explore. Instead, they groped and carefully moved forward.
The castle seemed to be very big and empty. They walked for so long and didn't see anyone.
"It's not surprising. Usually, only a few Transcendents, guards, and waiters live in this huge castle. They don't live in the castle. Usually, there are very few people here."
"Today's banquet is convenient for us. Otherwise, if we suddenly entered the castle, it would be easy to be noticed."
They groped forward for a long time.
The corridor was inlaid with gorgeous crystal wall lamps on both sides, and the floor was covered with a red carpet. It was very clean and spotless.
The rooms on both sides were beautifully furnished, but they could see that they were empty and uninhabited. After carefully examining the two rooms, they came to the conclusion that there was nothing.
So they kept walking, and kept walking.
"Did you notice that this castle's corridors … are too many? The rooms inside also feel very similar. "
"The size of the space inside the castle and the outside doesn't seem to match. Could it be a spatial arrangement?"
They thought hard, but the repeated environment made them gradually feel that something was wrong.
Were they discovered?
Or did they fall into the castle's inherent illusory array?
At present, there were no human Transcendents encircling them. They speculated that it should be the latter.
"It's an illusory array. The news can't get out."
The other elder was not depressed when he heard the words, "The illusory array didn't cover the entire castle. At least the garden and the west side restaurant are normal. That means we're not far from the castle's core. We just need to break this illusory array."
… …
His analysis was correct. Full marks for imagination.
Tang Yu was satisfied. It would be difficult to trap two veteran Transcendents in other places. However, the castle was the absolute core of the territory. After several upgrades, the strength of the defense module had also greatly improved.
Right now, he was only using one of the modules, the Hallucinatory Passage.
"If they can't break it, then I'll use the Hallucinatory Passage to trap them. I'll deal with the other Transcendents first. If they manage to escape, there's still the Guardian Stone Statue, Alternate Space, and other defensive measures waiting for them."
He observed the territory map in his mind.
At this moment, a dozen of the Transcendents gathered ten kilometers away began to move. They took a big detour and entered from the rear mountain range, slowly approaching the mine area.
The back mountain was the first battlefield Tang Yu had chosen.
The main force wasn't the followers.
"Brother Zhen should be reliable, right?"
… …
At this time, two veteran Transcendents and five ordinary Transcendents didn't fly. Instead, they leaped nimbly through the forest like ordinary hunters.
Their spirits were high.
Getting closer and closer.
Five kilometers.
Three kilometers.
One kilometer.
"No detection array?"
"No." One of the Transcendents, who was good at perception, replied affirmatively, "With the Tree Shade's array skills, although I can't avoid it, if there's detection, it definitely can't escape my perception. In other words, we were worried for nothing."
Fighting with the air?
That's not it!
If the Pass Elder hadn't personally sneaked into the Tree Shade, how could they find the Ancient Tree? Since the Tree Shade didn't arrange a large-scale detection array, there was only one possibility. The Tree Shade's array had consumed all of its resources and energy, which meant … it would be very terrifying!
Their hearts trembled.
Fortunately, the Pass Elder found the core of the array!
As expected of the genius of their clan!
After Elder Yamaguchi left behind an illusion clone, he met up with the seven Transcendents who were supporting him.
She endured the pain and said, "Let's attack together and destroy the Ancient Tree. Pay attention, destroy the roots and cut off the connection between the Ancient Tree and the crystal mine. The core will inevitably lose its function, but the preserved branches still have a lot of effects for us."
In a split second.
A terrifying aura erupted on the other side of the pit. The members of the garrison corps, adventurers, and others who were fighting against the demonic beasts felt as if their throats were strangled. Their faces turned pale and they couldn't breathe. Just as a flying demonic beast swooped down, a faint halo was ignited from an obelisk inside the fort, enveloping the entire fort, forming a shield, blocking the demonic beast's attack.
They looked into the distance with lingering fear. The terrifying energy fluctuations rose, the dazzling brilliance broke through the dense branches and leaves, and the deadly sense of crisis still shrouded everyone's heart.
At this time.
Buzz-
The entire mountain range trembled as if it was alive. Khaki streamers converged from all directions of the mountain range. A faint humanoid shadow appeared on a distant mountain top.
He stretched out his hand and pressed it down, as if a huge mountain was pressing down.
The constantly rising energy fluctuations suddenly stopped.
The hunters in the fort stared blankly at the illusory and huge figure in the distance.
It seemed to be somewhat similar to City Lord Tang?!
