“It’s here!”
Zhao Yuheng snorted coldly, and then the surrounding undying blood phoenixes charged forward.
The expressions of the surrounding people instantly tensed up. Then, they looked at the light shot out by the surrounding mechanical soldiers and the flames on the Undying Blood Phoenix’s body, and saw the thing that was attacking.
A humanoid monster with a pitch-black body. Its arms and body were connected to the horizontal membrane. It was charging over at an extremely fast speed.
There were many of them. They were densely packed as far as they eyes could see. There were too many to count.
“Bang!”
Following a muffled sound, a few of these monsters instantly pounced on an undying blood phoenix and began to bite it wantonly.
A sorrowful cry was emitted from the undying blood phoenix’s mouth. Soon after, a large amount of flames emerged from its body.
These flames stained the bodies of the surrounding humanoid monsters. Although they caused some burns to them, they did not cause as much damage as they had imagined.
Subsequently, these humanoid monsters opened their sharp claws and directly began to tear at the undying blood phoenix’s body.
A few undying blood phoenixes beside them stepped forward and captured these humanoid monsters.
Ren Qi and the others did not hesitate and ordered their troops to counterattack.
Elise also ordered the succubus army to charge into the battle below.
At this moment, Zhao Yuheng quickly descended the sky fortress and landed on the ground.
“Bang!”
Following a muffled sound, Zhao Yuheng’s sky fortress in the sky descended with a loud bang and landed on the ground below.
The searchlights of Xuan Ming’s mechanical troops immediately shone in their surroundings, lighting up everything around them.
Those strange humanoid monsters surged over from all directions and swiftly charged into the battleground in front of them.
This was the first time Ren Qi and the rest had witnessed the strangeness of these humanoid monsters.
Firstly, they were able to withstand most of the magic damage, be it the five-elemental thunder qilin’s lightning attack, the succubus’ fallen flames, or even the Tier 9 undying blood phoenix’s flames… None of them were able to deal much damage to them.
Secondly, it was the speed of these monsters.
Their speed was extremely fast. Not to mention the succubus, they were even faster than the black turtles, which specialized in short bursts of speed.
Lastly, it was the attack power of these monsters.
The claws on their bodies were their best attack weapons. These things, which seemed to be extended from their bones, were extremely sharp.
In addition to their piranha-like sharp teeth, as long as the soldiers were surrounded by a couple of monsters, it was very likely that they would be swarmed up and devoured.
Ren Qi had personally witnessed a five elemental lightning qilin being attacked. It was almost instantly killed, and even its fur was quickly devoured.
Even Xuan Ming’s mechanical soldiers were swarmed by these human-shaped monsters. All that was left were some broken parts.
Their teeth were really good.
Other than the two undying blood phoenixes who had already advanced to half-step Saint-tier, and the battle circle that Elise was in, the other battle circles were all suppressed by these humanoid monsters.
At this moment, the Dark Elf Queen beside Ren Qi also directly attacked when she saw this.
She directly leaped down from Zhao Yuheng’s sky fortress.
After landing, the Dark Elf Queen immediately released a large amount of dark power.
Pitch-black vines suddenly emerged from the ground and instantly pierced through the bodies of the surrounding humanoid monsters.
It was difficult for the surrounding humanoid monsters to resist the power of a half-step Saint-tier.
Compared to the last time Zhao Yuheng and the others came, Ren Qi and the others had greatly increased in number and strength. Therefore, it was much easier to deal with them compared to the last time.
Although there were many humanoid monsters that had appeared in the surroundings, Ren Qi and the others also had quite a number of troops.
In addition to Elise, the Dark Elf Queen, and the two undying blood phoenixes, which had the combat strength of four half-step Saint-tier warriors, the entire battle began to shift in Ren Qi’s direction.
At this moment, Xuan Ming took the opportunity to shine the searchlights on the mechanical troops in front of them.
A couple of light beams shot forward, directly displaying the human-shaped monsters and the church-like building in front of them.
Ren Qi and the rest’s gazes landed on the church-like building in front of them. After all, according to Zhao Yuheng, the secret stash was most likely in the church-like building in front of them.
The first thing that entered everyone’s eyes was a long stone path that led directly to the church-like building in front of them.
The overall shape and appearance of this church-like building was very similar to that of a church, but it appeared very strange.
For example, the sharp roof seemed to have been cut by something.
The color of the entire building also appeared to be a light gray color. A few white spots were revealed under the light gray color.
It was as if this light gray was trying its best to hide the white underneath, but it was still showing.
The entire building was tall and long, and it didn’t take up too much space.
The building looked like a church and appeared very old. Spider webs hung on it, and the walls seemed to be somewhat cracked, with cracks appearing one after another.
The most eye-catching thing was the clock on the church.
This clock seemed to be embedded in the church building. The needle on it was completely on the wall.
However, the needle was continuously rotating, as though it could still see the time.
However, if one were to look carefully, one would discover that the needle on this clock was rotating very quickly. Within a few dozen breaths, it had rotated once.
Ren Qi’s gaze also landed on the rotating clock.
For some unknown reason, Ren Qi felt that this clock was a little strange.
Shaking her head, Ren Qi once again turned his gaze to the battle in front of him.
At this moment, Elise and the rest had already suppressed these humanoid monsters. Although some of the soldiers were also being devoured by these humanoid monsters, the majority of them were being killed by these humanoid monsters.
When these humanoid monsters died, the blood that flowed out of their bodies was pitch-black like ink.
At this moment, Tabitha came before Ren Qi.
“Master, the soul power of these humanoid monsters is very chaotic. I can’t draw their soul power,” Tabitha looked at Ren Qi and said.
Ren Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard this. Then, he looked at Tabitha and said, “What do you mean? They are in the same situation as the monsters outside the Black Dragon Territory?”
Ren Qi immediately thought of the special monsters that attacked Xu Xinghe.
Tabitha shook her head and said, “The situation is indeed similar. Their soul power is very chaotic, but compared to those monsters, the soul power of these unknown things is more chaotic.”
“If the soul power of those monsters is like water mixed with sand, then the situation of these guys is like soul power mixed with paste, extremely chaotic!”
Ren Qi frowned slightly. The situation was similar, but it was more serious?
Could it be that there was a connection between these humanoid monsters and the special monsters that attacked in Xu Xinghe’s territory?
However, now was not the time to think about this.
Tabitha once again joined the battlefield, and the humanoid monsters in front of them became fewer and fewer.
Just as Ren Qi and the others felt that they could easily deal with these humanoid monsters and enter the church-like building in front of them to explore the hidden treasures, a sound suddenly appeared in front of them.
Crack
A very clear sound of friction came from the clock, just like the sound of the gears in the clock.
Ren Qi’s heart skipped a beat, and then his gaze fell on the clock that seemed to be embedded in the wall in front of him.
The clock had just turned to zero once again.
Due to the fact that the hands of the clock were turning very quickly, it was unknown how many times the clock had turned.
Following the sound, the clock that had just turned suddenly stopped.
The hands stopped at zero. Soon after, a black light wave slowly drifted down from the clock.
The speed of this black light wave was extremely slow. However, the moment it left the clock and came down, it immediately spread out.
An enormous shock wave instantly charged out. The enormous force instantly cleared everything in front of it, including the extremely dense black fog just a moment ago.
An enormous vacuum region appeared in front of the church-like building.
At this moment, rays of light began to appear on the ground.
Ren Qi’s gaze landed in front of him, and his expression became solemn.
He noticed that after the shock wave earlier, the dust on the ground seemed to have been blown away, revealing the cracks below.
Before Ren Qi could see what those cracks were, rays of light emerged from those cracks.
When the rays of light emerged from the cracks, Ren Qi’s expression changed.
It was a formation!
The rays of light that rose up in front of him were connected together. It looked like a huge formation had been formed.
The arrangement of the cracks was very similar to the Five Elements Teleportation Array in Ren Qi’s territory!
It was a teleportation formation!
Ren Qi wanted to ask Elise and the others to destroy the array, but it was too late.
Figures began to appear from the rising light in front of them.
Pitch-black skin, human form.
These figures that had just appeared looked very similar to the humanoid monsters from before.
The difference was that these figures were more tall and straight. Moreover, there was no horizontal membrane connecting their arms to their bodies. Instead, two wings extended from their backs.
In their hands, they were all holding pitch-black greatswords.
The greatswords were very long and thick. The tip of the swords emitted a cold light, and their auras were very sharp.
Ren Qi was immediately stunned when he saw these figures appear.
He was very familiar with the appearances of these figures!
If one were to say that a succubus’s tail came from behind, it would be completely similar to a double-winged succubus!
However, the aura on their bodies was much denser than that of a double-winged succubus.
A complete Tier-9 body!
There was even a faint aura that seemed to have surpassed a complete Tier-9 body!
Before Ren Qi and the others could react, the figures that appeared opened their eyes.
Sharp gazes instantly blossomed from their eyes. Soon after, they raised the huge swords in their hands in unison and swiftly charged towards Ren Qi and the others.
When Elise and the others in front saw this scene, they were clearly stunned.
However, they quickly reacted and directly charged towards these newly-appeared figures.
Compared to the humanoid monsters from before, these newly-appeared figures did not move in a strange manner, and their speed was not as fast.
However, their strength was extremely powerful!
Many of the five elemental thunder qilins charging at the front were instantly killed, causing Li Tianlan’s heart to ache as she recalled them.
Most of the five elemental thunder qilins were still at Tier 8. It was still very difficult for them to deal with these fellows.
Zhao Yuheng did not hesitate at all. She directly ordered the Undying Blood Phoenix above him to quickly head towards these new fellows.
At this moment, only her undying blood phoenix could stop these creatures.
Meanwhile, Elise and the Dark Elf Queen also went to welcome the new creatures.
A large amount of hellfire began to appear and directly smashed towards the new creatures in front of them.
Sensing the existence of the hellfire, these creatures’ bodies clearly stiffened for a moment. After which, they moved their bodies and quickly dodged.
At this moment, black vines suddenly pierced out from the ground around them and quickly stabbed at these creatures.
After all, Elise and the Dark Elf Queen were half-step Saint-tier. When the two of them attacked, they instantly forced back many creatures in front of them.
However, the two of them could not help but frown slightly.
This was because they discovered that these new creatures in front of them knew how to dodge.
Although the humanoid monsters were very fast and had strange trajectories, they basically relied on their instincts to fight. They did not even know how to dodge some attacks.
However, the new creatures in front of them were different.
They clearly had battle experience. It was unknown if they had intelligence.
In short, these creatures were definitely more difficult to deal with than the humanoid monsters from before.
At this moment, Elise raised a shadow lotus and directly wrapped a creature in front of her.
The Shadow Lotus quickly wrapped around and directly swallowed the creature.
Two seconds later, the Shadow Lotus was directly broken.
Elise frowned slightly. She could feel that her Shadow Lotus had caused some damage to the other party.
This proved that these creatures were different from the humanoid monsters from before. At least, their souls would not be too chaotic.
However, the damage caused by the Shadow Lotus was not too high!
This made Elise a little confused. The Shadow Lotus was her strongest single-target attack. Logically speaking, with her current half-step Saint-tier strength, she should be able to easily kill the creatures that were enveloped by the Shadow Lotus.
However, although the other party was injured, it was not serious. It was as if something had helped it block the attack.
“Boom!”
A creature in front of Elise quickly arrived in front of her. It raised the large sword in its hand and directly slashed down at Elise, bringing with it the sound of wind.
Elise quickly dodged. Then, she directly went forward and pressed her palm on the chest of the creature.
With the explosion of the dark element’s power, the creature in front of her was instantly sent flying and crashed heavily onto the ground.
“Pu!”
It opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood. It was still pitch-black.
Not dead?
Elise’s frown deepened.
Although the other party was already heavily injured, Elise still could not understand.
Her powerful attack had only caused serious injuries?
It did not match her half-step saint-level strength.
The surrounding four to five new creatures charged towards Elise, the greatswords in their hands quickly slashing towards her.
Elise immediately dodged, while the Dark Elf Queen at the side continuously used her strength to kill these creatures.
Compared to Elise, the Dark Elf Queen seemed to deal more damage to these creatures.
The surrounding troops and succubi also suffered the attacks of these creatures.
In addition to the other humanoid monsters, the succubi and the surrounding troops were forced to retreat quickly.
These creatures’ attack power was very strong. Ordinary succubi and other Tier-8 troops couldn’t withstand it at all. They could only rely on the undying blood phoenix to block these creatures.
Fortunately, there were not many of these new creatures. Ren Qi’s soldiers could still barely hold on.
If there were more, the Tier-9 undying blood phoenix might not be enough.
Looking at the situation in front of them, Ren Qi frowned.
Although the situation was stable now, as long as it was stable, relying on Elise, the Dark Elf Queen, and the two half-step Saint-tier undying blood phoenixes to kill these new creatures and the humanoid monsters just now would be enough. However, if this was the case, Ren Qi and the others’ troops would also be exhausted.
More than twenty of the five elemental thunder qilins had already died in battle. Many of Tian Jizi’s mages had also died, and many of Lou Ming’s beautiful female warriors had also been lost.
Especially Xuan Ming’s mechanical troops, forty to fifty of them had been dismantled.
If this continued, they would not be able to bear the loss of their troops.
After all, they were not here just to search for the treasure trove.
They wanted to obtain the treasure trove with the least possible loss of troops. They did not want to go all out to obtain the Treasure Trove.
If that was the case, the gains would not make up for the losses.
Zhao Yuheng clearly knew this as well. She could not help but bite her lip.
If that was the case, she could only give the order to retreat.
After all, her undying blood phoenix was at the front, and she had lost quite a bit.
Although the undying blood phoenix could be resurrected, it would be very painful for Zhao Yuheng to level it up again.
At this moment, the situation in front of them suddenly changed.
Elise used a large amount of hellfire to isolate the new creatures in front. Then, she quickly returned to the succubus army.
Then, she slowly opened her arms.
Ren Qi raised his eyebrows slightly as he received the message from Elise.
She wanted to use the skills she had learned after becoming a superior to fight!
