When he saw the boxes of Moon Gems being transported down the ship, the Moon Emperor's aura went berserk.
A blood-red halo that was visible to the naked eye radiated outwards. Wherever it passed, the already berserk Moon Warriors entered a new level of berserk. The dark energy on their bodies multiplied, and they crazily attacked the Silver-tier scouts' line of defense.
"He can bless his soldiers?"
Li Mu was surprised to see that.
After being blessed, the Moon Clan soldiers' individual strength went berserk. The scout team, which had barely managed to stabilize their position with the battle formation, instantly showed signs of collapse.
"Not good."
Ye Ying sent two Moon Clan soldiers flying with a spear. He felt that the recoil from the spear was several times more terrifying than before. He realized that danger was approaching.
"Retreat. Get off the ship. "
Lin Jingxin brandished his swords and made a decision at once.
"Take these villagers with you."
Xiao Jianfei ordered his scouts to carry Second Brother Feng and the others.
Li Mu secretly removed the Golden Bell Shield.
A scout came to carry him. Li Mu shook his head and said, "I can do it myself."
Second Brother Feng also said, "Me too." As one of the top three experts in the East Star Village, he was also in the Worm Realm and could jump down from the ship.
Ye Ying, Lin Jingxin, and Xiao Jianfei, the three team leaders, were the strongest. They led the experts in the team and slowly retreated to buy time for the others who were retreating.
To be honest, Li Mu was quite surprised by this scene.
Despite the crisis, the scouts still did not give up on Second Brother Feng and the other ordinary villagers. They resolutely carried out their duty as soldiers to protect them. This gave Li Mu a new understanding of the human soldiers and armies in this world. It should be noted that before this, in order to fight for the treasures and various resources on the Moon Ship, the three scout teams had even fought in the cabin. But when someone proposed to protect the villagers and retreat, no one raised any objection, as if the safety of the villagers was as important as that batch of precious Moon Gems.
This was the real army to protect their compatriots.
Li Mu sighed with emotion and quietly retreated from the Moon Ship with the scouts.
Because of Lei Zang, he did not want to expose all his trump cards for the time being.
"Kill every single invader who covets the moon's treasures."
The Moon King's cold and emotionless voice echoed between heaven and earth. He waved the Star and Moon Staff in his hand, and the violent red evil energy flowed around, continuously increasing the combat power of the moon clan warriors.
Li Mu keenly noticed that as the individual combat power of the Moon Clan increased, their number was much smaller than before.
"Could it be …"
Li Mu secretly opened his Third Eye. After observing for a while, he found some clues.
"Quick, quick, speed up."
Lei Zang roared hysterically, and urged the scouts to hurry up and send the wooden chests containing the moon gems into the teleportation formation steps, continuously sending them out.
In the distance, the Moon Clan warriors that looked like a pool of blood rushed over in a frenzy.
Even the powerful Ye Ying, Lin Jingxin, and Xiao Jianfei were wounded and covered in blood. They were still doing their best to delay the Yue race's attack. However, the defensive line was like a dam that was about to collapse. It was leaking everywhere, and it looked like it was about to collapse …
Li Mu saw that the time was not right and was ready to help.
But at that moment, there was a sudden scream behind him.
"Hahahaha, the military merits are mine. Everything is mine. You idiots, die here with Li Mu, hahaha …" Lei Zang laughed wildly.
The thunder sword in his hand was stained with the blood of his own people.
The nine array masters who were maintaining the formation covered their throats, and their eyes were full of disbelief as they slowly fell down.
Everyone was stunned by the sudden change.
Before they could react, Lei Zang flashed and jumped into the teleportation formation before the light was finally extinguished.
The light of the formation dissipated.
The array masters were dead.
The formation was destroyed.
There was no way out.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, Lei Zang, you bastard!"
Lin Jingxin let out a roar, and his handsome face was twisted with great anger.
Ye Ying's heart was also cold, but he reacted quickly and shouted at the first moment, "Quick, save him, save the array masters!"
If they could save the injured array masters and activate the formation again, there would be hope of survival.
But things did not go as planned.
Lei Zang's attack had obviously been planned.
The Purple Heaven Thunder had completely destroyed the nine array masters' vitality. Even if the Almighty Immortals were here, they could not save them.
Shouts and screams rose in the surroundings.
The silver scouts were still resisting.
But under the crazy attack of the Yue Clan warriors, they could not hold on for much longer.
"Break through, we will be broken through … Where is the nearest village?" Xiao Jianfei shouted as he fought.
This was the last and not the last resort.
Second Brother Feng and the other villagers recovered from the great shock and said, "East Star Village, 100 miles to the east is our East Star Village …"
"100 miles? East Star Village? " Ye Ying knocked away a Yue Clan warrior with his spear and frowned. "I seem to have heard of it. It is a level-one village, right? No, a level-one longevity tree cannot resist so many Ferocious Beasts and Yue Clan warriors. If you escape there, you will be in trouble."
The villagers were stunned.
Second Brother Feng suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He quickly said, "No, no, no. Our village's longevity tree, because it bore fruit, has ripened a second time. It should be a level-two longevity tree now …"
"Really?" Lin Jingxin was overjoyed. "Are you sure?"
Second Brother Feng said loudly, "I am sure. I have been in the army and know about this. I am sure."
"If that is the case, then maybe we really have a chance." Xiao Jianfei said as he fought against the Yue Clan warriors, "This is the only way. I, the Thunderstorm Team, will cover the rear. Captain Ye, Captain Lin, you two lead the people to break through and protect the villagers." He felt guilty in his heart because Lei Zang was a member of their Thunderstorm Team, and he was even the team leader. This kind of betrayal caused the members of the Thunderstorm Team to feel ashamed.
"What about these boxes?" a scout asked.
The beautiful captain Ye Ying said without hesitation, "What time is it? Don't worry, the people are more important. Anyway, Lei Zang has brought back more than 80 boxes. That is enough. Protect the villagers and retreat."
Most of the 100 boxes of Moon Gems had been transported away. There were less than 20 boxes left.
This loss was bearable.
"Let's go."
Lin Jingxin and Ye Ying led their subordinates and charged into the depths of the Beast Tide.
Xiao Jianfei waved his hammers and did not retreat. He said loudly, "Brothers of the Thunderstorm Team, I am sorry. Today, I, Xiao Jianfei, cannot guarantee that you will all return alive. However, I can guarantee that if you die, it will definitely be after I, Xiao Jianfei, die in battle."
The morale of the scouts under his command, which was originally low, suddenly soared.
This action was seen by the Moon King, who was standing on the Moon Ship. His eyes were red, and he held the Star-Moon Staff as if he was the ruler of everything.
"All of you, hehehe, none of you will be able to leave."
He laughed sinisterly and waved the Star-Moon Staff in his hand, pointing it down.
The crescent moon and the three stars shone together, and some mysterious power was awakened. The Moon King's staff shook slightly in his hand, and then a destructive light pillar was born from the top of the staff. It was like a crimson sword of judgment that could destroy the world, and it struck down.
In an instant, the sky and earth were dyed red.
"Not good!"
Xiao Jianfei was horrified.
At this moment, his rich battle experience told him that he would not be able to withstand this attack. All the experts in the three scout teams, including Lin Jingxin and Ye Ying, would not be able to withstand such an attack.
It's over!
Xiao Jianfei's mind was blank.
Under the illumination of the crimson light pillar, Ye Ying and Lin Jingxin, who were not far away, had despair written all over their faces.
Lei Zang, that bastard, was after all a deity. He must have seen how terrifying the Moon King was, and that was why he made such a choice … He was really unwilling to let this bastard off so easily.
Rumble!
A terrifying explosion sounded.
Everyone felt the earth shake violently, as if it was going to overturn.
Some of the weaker silver scouts, together with the villagers, directly fell to the ground. They could not even stand steadily.
Death descended.
A huge wave of fear came crashing down, drowning everyone.
After four or five breaths of time, they realized that something was wrong. It seemed like … they did not die?
What was going on?
They opened their eyes and looked around in bewilderment.
In the crimson sea of evil energy above their heads, a golden holy aura spread out in the sky. Like a giant shield, it supported their heads and completely blocked the destructive beam of evil energy three meters above their heads.
The destructive blow of the Moon King was blocked!
It was really blocked!
Who was it?
A figure that they had ignored before appeared in their blurred vision and gradually became clear.
The figure stood straight like a spear, standing in front of everyone.
He was like a pillar that could never be shaken even if the world was turned upside down. Standing in front of everyone, he opened his hands, and four golden dragon-like chains of light spread out from his palms, spiraled up, and finally connected to the giant golden shield.
It was Li Mu!
The chosen one of the East Star Village had made a move.
Why was he so strong?
At that moment, the three team leaders and the silver scouts subconsciously turned to look at the villagers who came with Li Mu. But it was obvious that the villagers were more shocked and dumbfounded than they were.
"Captain Xiao, you retreat with your men and escort Second Brother Feng. I will cover them."
Li Mu said without looking back.
