Chapter 154: A Coordinated Challenge
“Immediately head to the support teams, each of you responsible for one group, and search the skies for the whereabouts of the Flame Mountain Tribe.”
After more than ten minutes, Zhan Cheng finally emerged from his breakdown and adjusted his mindset.
“Expand the search area as much as possible. The Flame Mountain Tribe has too few people and is carrying over thirty thousand tribe members, so they definitely won’t be fast.”
“Once you find their track, do not approach. Return to send a message as soon as possible and provide a rough location.”
Taking a deep breath, Zhan Cheng’s eyes reignited with determination.
“For the main forces, split into four groups. Centered 300 kilometers around the Sacred Water Tribe, patrol quickly in circles and wait for news.”
“Once we determine the main position of the Flame Mountain Tribe, do not attack recklessly. Wait for the other three routes to converge before acting.”
Zhan Cheng continued to issue orders.
The group of fake heavy criminals sprang into action.
This plan was not very effective.
The biggest problem was that the main forces of the Flame Mountain Tribe held air superiority.
To search for the Flame Mountain Tribe, they could only rely on flying fierce beasts, and the strongest of those were only in the thirties.
Once the Flame Mountain Tribe dispatched Spirit Consciousness stage members to intercept and watch for them, Zhan Cheng’s plan would completely collapse.
But this plan was their only feasible option; they had to give it a try.
A dead horse could be treated like a live one.
…
“Let’s go! We’ll head back to find the main forces of the Sacred Water Tribe.”
At the first landing point, Yi Chen did not interfere with Guli’s arrangement for the retreat. He didn’t even wait for Guli’s retreat plan to be established.
Whether it was the Political Council or the Military, he maintained a focus on the overall direction.
If not for this action involving tens of thousands of humanity and the enormous stakes, he would not personally craft this plan, given Guli’s somewhat limited thinking.
Right now, all that mattered was how to retreat smoothly, and he trusted Guli to arrange everything properly.
“Understood!”
Bai Ruo Xin’s eyes flashed with surprise.
But she did not question or remind; she immediately controlled the stone house and flew away from the first landing point.
Like Yi Chen, she also gave herself a precise positioning.
Interfering with or influencing Yi Chen’s decisions was not part of her self-assigned role.
Even knowing it was wrong, she would only think ahead about how to compensate and reduce the consequences of that mistake.
Just like now, she was controlling the stone house toward the Sacred Water Tribe’s base while using gestures to signal the higher-level members of the Intelligence Organization above the Spirit Law stage to follow from a distance.
In case of a crisis, these members could at least buy some time.
…
“It really is Yi Chen; he ended up coming to us himself.”
“I thought that capturing over thirty thousand tribe members from the Sacred Water Tribe would allow me to know how strong Yi Chen really is and what his bead-type treasure can do, but that seems far away now.”
“I didn’t expect that it would suddenly look hopeful; Yi Chen went alone to find the main forces of the Sacred Water Tribe.”
“It seems Yi Chen also wants to gauge his strength and take the opportunity to practice against the powerful fierce beasts of the Sacred Water Tribe. It’s been a while since he practiced his skills on fierce beasts.”
The audience in the live room immediately became excited.
Yi Chen proactively sought out the main forces of the Sacred Water Tribe, undoubtedly aiming to test whether he could defeat the tribe’s strongest fierce beasts and see how powerful he had become.
Of course, he also aimed to expand his achievements.
After all, the main forces of the Sacred Water Tribe included hundreds of humanity and over four thousand powerful fierce beasts.
If he could conquer them all, not only would it speed up the integration of the Sacred Water Tribe members, but it would also drastically increase the power of the Flame Mountain Tribe.
…
Clearly, Bai Ruo Xin’s decision was correct.
Upon returning to the base of the Sacred Water Tribe, several fake heavy criminals were there with tribe members and a few flying fierce beasts, studying clues and assessing the tribe’s losses.
Swish, swish, swish…
Bai Ruo Xin swung her sword, unleashing swift slashes.
Before the fake heavy criminals and flying fierce beasts, she left behind terrifying sword marks.
“Retreat, retreat, hurry up and withdraw!”
The fake heavy criminals and tribe members of the Sacred Water Tribe jumped onto the flying fierce beasts and quickly fled.
Bai Ruo Xin then maneuvered the stone house, soaring to hover about a hundred meters above the Misty Forest, lying in wait.
Members of the Intelligence Organization began to spread out and hide.
They ensured the people of the Sacred Water Tribe wouldn’t set any traps below.
…
“What? A stone house is hovering above the tribe base?”
After more than half an hour, Zhan Cheng, over a hundred kilometers away, received the news.
A look of wild joy appeared on his face.
“Yi Chen must have come himself, and he intends to lead us into a battle to test his strength.”
For Zhan Cheng, this was undoubtedly the best opportunity to turn the tide.
If he could defeat and capture Yi Chen, everything would be turned around.
However, if Yi Chen managed to defeat and capture him, it would be over.
In that case, leading hundreds of tribe members and over four thousand fierce beasts to surrender wouldn’t even compare.
Zhan Cheng was willing to stake his last chip on this gamble.
“Continue with the original plan, searching for the position of the main forces of the Flame Mountain Tribe. Recall all fierce beasts above level forty and gather at the hillside ten kilometers outside the tribe base.”
Without any hesitation, Zhan Cheng immediately handed over the command of the main army to a fake heavy criminal to continue the search plan.
He then set off towards the tribe base with the Gale Tiger and a level forty-two fierce beast.
The other three teams received the news and sent one fake heavy criminal from each team, accompanied by two fierce beasts over level forty, to quickly rendezvous at the location designated by War City.
After more than three hours, this well-coordinated meeting began to take shape.
“Leader, a total of eight large, terrifying beasts have gathered on the hillside south of the Sacred Water Tribe base, and they are now approaching the base.”
A member of the Intelligence Organization flew swiftly to the front of the stone house.
“Besides that, we haven’t seen any other fierce beasts or humanity in the surroundings, except for a few flying fierce beasts.”
“Keep a close watch. Signal immediately if there are any special circumstances!”
Bai Ruo Xin waved her hand.
Once the member of the Intelligence Organization left, she turned to look at Yi Chen.
Yi Chen had naturally heard the report from the member and promptly opened his eyes.
He approached the entrance of the stone house and personally controlled it to fly downward.
It stopped in a clearing.
Squeak, squeak…
The Little Gold Ball’s little green eyes eagerly stared toward the south.
It sensed the presence of powerful fierce beasts.
Yi Chen casually picked up the Little Gold Ball from his shoulder and tossed it to Bai Ruo Xin.
“Act according to the situation.”
“Okay!”
Bai Ruo Xin caught the Little Gold Ball and nodded.
She understood Yi Chen’s meaning: if the battle became tense, she should look for an opportunity to capture the leader first.
If Yi Chen was unable to win, she would then consider whether to use the Little Gold Ball as a bomb to buy time.
Proud yet humble, strong yet cautious.
Holding the spiritual sword, Yi Chen flew out of the stone house, hovering alone about ten meters ahead.
With one person and one sword, they seemed like one entity.
His handsome face bore an expression of fierce determination and pride.
Powerful battle intent surged like a mighty waterfall, overwhelming everything in its path.
His presence was exceptional!
