Chapter 825
by fanqienovelChapter 825: Choosing to Give Up
“Continue to force out the Shadow King’s hiding state!”
The Tree-Dwelling Tribe had suffered countless losses in their encounters with Yi Chen, accumulating a lot of experience.
The Second Elder of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was relatively calm. After carefully considering the situation, he spoke up, “The strongest member of humanity has strange methods that far exceed our expectations. In this case, we cannot afford to be careless.”
“If we truly cannot force out the Shadow King, let’s shift our focus to the eastern human army. No matter what, we must not lose our composure, nor divide our forces, giving Yi Chen the chance to defeat us one by one.”
The Second Elders of the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe nodded slightly.
They had been considering whether to send elders to check on the areas where the elder teams were located. The reminder from the Second Elder of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe made them realize their error.
Before coming, they had assessed that as long as they had level 240 strong fighters, were cautious, and prepared for a surprise attack, even if they were ambushed by Yi Chen and his top-tier combat power, they would be able to escape.
But now it was clear they had underestimated Yi Chen and his top-tier combat power.
From the current situation, if all nine elder teams had been killed or captured by Yi Chen, it indicated that he had at least the capability to deal with two level 240 strong fighters in an instant.
Otherwise, it was impossible to explain why all nine elder teams had lost contact.
Among those nine teams, several had two elders stationed.
In this situation, sending elders out to scout would clearly be unsafe.
“The nine elder teams most likely lost contact because they were heavily injured and captured by Yi Chen, but they shouldn’t be in any life-threatening danger.”
Seeing that the Second Elders of the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe agreed with him, the Second Elder of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe continued:
“Yi Chen’s intention must still be to capture the elders and demand ransom from our three races. This means their safety can be temporarily discounted. We have only temporarily weakened a portion of our strength, but overall, we still far exceed Yi Chen.”
“There is still an opportunity to turn the tables and complete this mission at the smallest cost. Right now, the most important thing is to stay calm and absolutely not divide our forces again.”
The Second Elders of the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe nodded in agreement, quickly reaching a consensus.
That was to continue forcing the Shadow King out.
If they were truly unable to do so, they would redirect their efforts toward the Great Flame Empire’s eastern human army.
…
At that moment, as the elders of the three races were re-devising their plans,
Yi Chen arrived at the teleportation array near the life planet where the Cracked Shell Tribe’s stronghold was located.
Using the Teleportation Technique, he instantly appeared at the outer perimeter of the layers of defensive barriers.
“Your Majesty!”
The Shadow King, Boses, and Titan Bo were excited to greet Yi Chen upon learning he had arrived.
They understood that Yi Chen’s return meant the other nine elder teams had been dealt with by him.
“Leave this to me; you can go into the Map of Mountains and Rivers to cultivate!”
Yi Chen retrieved the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and a force pulled toward the three.
He kept the Shadow King and the others there to monitor the elders of the three races, ensuring they wouldn’t suddenly leave or disappear.
The second task was to ensure that once the elders of the three races turned their focus to the eastern human army, the Shadow King, holding the Map of Mountains and Rivers, could quickly bring the human army into the map.
Since neither of these troubles had arisen, Yi Chen successfully returned, so he no longer needed the Shadow King and the others for now.
After all, unless the elders of the three races scattered, with his strength realm, he alone, even with the Shadow King and the others, would not be able to take down the remaining eighty level 240 strong fighters in one go.
Once the Shadow King and the others entered the Map of Mountains and Rivers, Yi Chen enveloped his flying treasure with his divine consciousness.
Using his teleportation ability, he instantly passed through layers of energy shields and entered the barrier of the energy shield.
Brilliant and powerful golden light, along with the attacks from the elders of the three races, still filled the internal space of the energy shield.
But none of these attacks could harm Yi Chen in the slightest.
Yi Chen’s flying treasure was equipped with a powerful defensive formation.
The defense strength of this formation surpassed that of supreme defensive treasures by far.
Not to mention those scattered attacks, even if level 240 strong fighters launched a full-scale assault, they would not be able to break through the defensive formation in a short time.
The Luck Technique activated, beginning to extract the fortune of a Time Tribe elder.
As Yi Chen’s strength realm increased and he continuously improved various skills, the extraction speed of the Luck Technique rose as well.
In just five or six minutes, he successfully drained all the fortune from that Time Tribe elder.
Next, he turned to extract the fortune from a Reincarnation Tribe elder.
Just as he drained this elder’s fortune and began to extract the fortune of a Tree-Dwelling Tribe elder, the Second Elders of the three races were utterly disappointed.
Because after more than ten minutes, the initially set defensive barriers and energy shields had been completely dismantled.
Furthermore, after over half an hour, neither the golden light nor the attacks from the elders could force the Shadow King out of his hiding state.
This basically indicated that the Shadow King had somehow managed to escape the blockade created by the defensive barriers and energy shields.
Continuing with round after round of attacks would simply be a waste of time.
“Give up! Switch our target to the eastern human army of the Great Flame Empire!”
The Second Elder of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe was the first to suggest giving up.
The Second Elders of the Time Tribe and the Reincarnation Tribe nodded in resignation.
“Remove all defensive shields and proceed at full speed toward the eastern human army! Be cautious of the strongest member of humanity’s ambush, and gather together for mutual defense.”
The three elders quickly communicated this to their subordinate elders.
In an instant, the protective shields formed by supreme defensive treasures rapidly vanished.
At the same time, Yi Chen took out the communication stone to inform Commander Zong Shan of the eastern human army to prepare for their retreat.
Just as the last defensive shield was removed, the elders of the three races and the Leader of the Cracked Shell Tribe flew toward the Great Flame Empire’s army in outer space.
A terrifying aura swept over, causing the strong members of the various tribes in the Great Flame Empire to turn pale with fear.
“Teleport!”
Almost simultaneously, Commander Zong Shan of the eastern human army issued the order to retreat.
In the next second, twenty million members of the human army vanished from sight.
In the blink of an eye, they appeared at the edge of the Cracked Shell Tribe’s stronghold.
Yi Chen then took out the Map of Mountains and Rivers, channeling immortal power into it.
A terrifying pulling force swept toward the twenty million members of the human army.
Without any resistance, the densely packed human army was pulled into the Map of Mountains and Rivers.
“Not good, they were prepared!”
The elders of the three races all changed their expressions dramatically and rushed toward the Cracked Shell Tribe’s stronghold.
The elders of the Tree-Dwelling Tribe launched long-range attacks, sending branches to strike against the source of the pulling force.
Although their Perception Ability couldn’t lock onto Yi Chen’s flying treasure, they could determine his approximate position through the pulling force.
