Relying on their powerful attacks, the airship remained unscathed. However, after fighting for nearly six hours, they still couldn't break out of the encirclement of the flying beasts.
However, a dazzling divine light shot up into the sky from where the airship was.
The divine light carried a seven-colored glow. Although it didn't reveal too much power, it gave people a warm and solemn feeling.
"No wonder so many flying beasts have gathered here. So there's something going on here," Guan Yichuan said with narrowed eyes.
After watching for a while, Guan Yichuan was a little tempted. He felt that there was a high chance that a high-level treasure was about to appear. This was an opportunity for both him and Guan Yichuan.
However, he had not brought these thousand over mercenaries here to take risks and obtain treasures, but to carry out a mission. If they were to meet with an accident below and affect the mission, not only would it damage the reputation of the Flowing Fire Mercenary Group, it might even attract the censure of his family. It might even put these thousand over mercenaries in danger.
However, if he really obtained great benefits down there, his status in the family would immediately rise. If the treasure he obtained was useful to him, then he could take it for himself and …
Guan Yichuan's mind became active. He was conflicted as to what he should do.
When the airship reached this area, the attacks of the flying beasts became even fiercer. The late-stage Heavenly God mercenaries were almost unable to suppress the two monarch-god level flying beasts.
It was obvious that these flying beasts were only stopping the airship from reaching this area. If the airship passed this area, they wouldn't attack with all their might.
The mercenaries in the airship couldn't hold on for much longer. Guan Yichuan had to make a decision quickly. Many mercenaries looked at him at this moment.
At this moment, Miss Jing walked up to Guan Yichuan and said, "Sir Vice Commander, we should rush through this area. Let's not be wishful thinking about the treasures down there. Although we have many people, even if we obtain the treasures down there, we'll probably suffer heavy losses. These brothers were all recruited by the family with great difficulty."
She emphasized the word "treasures," which made Guan Yichuan's heart pound.
After reminding him, Miss Jing returned to Xiong Meng and the others. She looked like she had said everything.
"Since there's treasures down there, why did you suggest that he leave? We should go down and take a look," Zhang Hai said telepathically.
Xiong Meng, Ma Chun, and Ma Qiu were also puzzled.
"He's still hesitating, but even though I'm trying to persuade him, it'll only make him more determined," Miss Jing replied calmly.
"Are there really treasures down there?" Xiong Meng asked through a secret vocal transmission.
"I don't think so. How could there be such a coincidence? I don't think there are any treasures down there, only an ambush set up by a large group of experts, "Miss Jing replied.
"You mean to say that these divine lights, multicolored lights, and even these birds and beasts were deliberately used by others to scheme against us?" Xiong Meng asked in surprise.
"Very likely. If he decides to go down later, we have to be careful. We have to protect ourselves first, and then wait for an opportunity to attack Guan Yichuan. "
Miss Jing reminded Xiao Lingyu and the others of the same thing.
Xiao Lingyu frowned slightly when she heard Miss Jing's voice transmission.
If it was as Miss Jing said, this was a trap. Although it would be helpful to their plan, if they weren't careful, they could fall into it and even be in great danger.
At this moment, Guan Yichuan was thinking to himself, "If I can sacrifice a portion of my mercenaries in exchange for a treasure, it'll be worth it. After all, there are so many mercenaries in Dou City. As long as I have divine stones, I can recruit a large group of heavenly god-level mercenaries at any time. Their deaths won't be regretted. If I give up this opportunity and go back, the people in my clan will definitely laugh at me for being a coward. But if I encounter an accident down there and fail this mission, I won't be able to explain it to my clan … I won't be able to gain much from this mission. If I obtain a powerful treasure down there, it'll be far more effective than completing this mission. "
After thinking about it, Guan Yichuan decided to go down and take a look. He wasn't very mature, so he was determined to take a look.
It was precisely because he liked to compete for credit and was eager to show off that this mission should have been given to the relatively mature Guan Yishan, but he snatched it away. Guan Yishan was his brother, so he naturally wouldn't compete with him.
After Guan Yishan forced back the Divine Monarch flying beast he was facing, he returned to the front of the airship and formed a seal to drive the airship down.
The light screen was still there, and it could be seen that the employers were very dissatisfied with Guan Yishan's actions, but Guan Yishan ignored their protests.
Four Divine Monarch flying beasts led countless heavenly god-level and great god-level flying beasts to attack the airship in a frenzy, as if there was a treasure down there that they wanted to protect and didn't allow anyone else to touch it.
The performance of these flying beasts made Guan Yishan even more determined to go down and take a look.
Guan Yishan closed all the doors and opened the airship's defensive barrier to the maximum.
The defensive power of this airship was very strong. Even after being attacked by so many flying beasts, it still managed to hold on for a while without being breached. It was probably because Guan Yishan was so confident in the airship's defensive power that he decided to go down and take a look.
In less than a hundred breaths of time, the airship fell to a position less than a thousand feet from the ground.
There was a misty fog below, which covered a wide area and was very dense, making it impossible for anyone to see what was inside.
Before Guan Yishan had time to take a look, he suddenly took out his communication bead, and then his face changed dramatically. He immediately controlled the airship to fly up, and at the same time, the airship continued to accelerate, as if he was trying to escape.
Unfortunately, Guan Yishan's actions were still a little too late. Just as the airship rose less than three hundred feet, several more divine lights suddenly appeared around the airship and soared into the sky.
The divine lights quickly gathered at one point, forming a cone-like cage, trapping the airship inside.
The accelerating airship inevitably crashed into the dense pillars of divine light, but the airship's defensive barrier was shattered, and the pillars of divine light only bent slightly.
Guan Yishan immediately controlled the airship to shoot more divine light beams at the pillars of divine light, but the pillars of divine light pressed down, forcing the airship to the ground.
"Everyone, get ready to fight, we've been ambushed!"
As the airship continued to fall, Guan Yishan opened the doors and loudly reminded everyone.
"Sure enough, it's as I expected," Miss Jing said.
"There was just a mist below, how did he know there was an ambush below?" Zhang Hai asked, puzzled.
"He took out his communication bead before, so someone must have reported to him," Xiao Lingyu guessed.
"Now that the airship has been intercepted, there will definitely be a fierce battle. You guys follow Brother Xiao and me closely, and don't move," Miss Jing reminded them worriedly.
Xiong Meng and the other three nodded silently, but their blood was boiling. For a long time, they had never participated in a battle with more than a hundred people, but this time, they had more than a thousand people on their side, so the other side should have a lot more as well.
"In a battle of this scale, teamwork is very important. Of course, the most important thing is the commander's ability to command. Guan Yishan doesn't have much experience in battle, so he has almost no experience in commanding such a large-scale battle. This time, the other side came prepared. If Brother Xiao is excluded, we will definitely lose," Miss Jing suddenly said.
Xiong Meng and the others were a little surprised at first, but then they remembered that Zou Gen, an Early-stage Divine Monarch Realm expert, once said that Xiao Lingyu could deal with five Zou Gen, so they understood Miss Jing's words. If they wanted to win this battle, they could only rely on Xiao Lingyu.
Xiao Lingyu also knew that if the other side didn't have a Divine King Realm expert, he could at least prevent the thousand people from being wiped out if he went all out.
Under the suppression of the divine light beams, the airship finally crashed to the ground.
The moment the airship landed, Guan Yishan, who was still calm, shouted loudly, "Don't move, we will hold here and wait for reinforcements."
"Vice Commander, I think we should organize people to break out of the encirclement. Even if the family has sent reinforcements, we are too far away from Du Hu City. I think we can't hold on until reinforcements arrive," Miss Jing suggested to Guan Yishan again.
"Listen to me or listen to you?" Guan Yishan didn't buy it.
The divine light beams were still suppressing the airship, making it unable to move, but the figures of cultivators had already appeared in everyone's line of sight.
There were indeed a lot of people on the other side, and they were all dressed neatly and moved in unison. They didn't get too close, but from three thousand feet away, they began to bombard the airship with divine artifacts, divine talismans, and divine power.
"Counterattack!"
Guan Yishan shouted loudly.
Thus, the two sides began to bombard each other in the fog from three thousand feet away.
With the cover of the fog, the birds and beasts in the sky couldn't see what was happening below. They could feel the mighty momentum below, so naturally, they didn't dare to come down easily.
The two sides bombarded each other for a full two hours, and then the cultivators surrounding the airship began to slowly shrink the circle.
"Keep fighting, why aren't you attacking?"
The other side was already closing in, but the mercenaries guarding the doorway could only hold their weapons tightly and wait quietly.
"Our long-range attacks were almost used up when we were fighting those birds and beasts. Now that we have lost a lot of our power, we … we can't attack from a distance!" A cultivator in the late Divine Realm said helplessly.
Guan Yishan's heart sank when he heard this. He thought to himself that he had been too careless and hadn't thought of this.
The mercenaries here couldn't attack the other side from a distance, but the other side, who were well-prepared and waiting for the exhausted ones, continued to bombard them. This made the situation very grim.
