When Wang Muyu mentioned the current situation, the words “The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind[1]” appeared in Ren Qi’s mind.

To Ren Qi, the stronger the two monster factions were, the better. If that was the case, it would be difficult for the new lords to succeed.

If these two monster factions were really taken over by the other new lords, he would be embarrassed to continue attacking these new lords.

Hinting for Elise to speed up, Ren Qi quickly rushed towards Wang Muyu’s territory.

At this moment, in Wang Muyu’s territory, Wang Muyu was staring at a screen in front of him with a solemn expression.

On this screen, it was showing the situation of the group of new lords who were attacking the two monster forces.

This was the scouting device that Wang Muyu had bought from the chat group. He could clearly see the images captured by the scouting device.

For this set of scouting device, Wang Muyu had spent a total of 5,000 energy crystals to buy it from a big shot named Xuan Ming.

After all, his army was not very strong. Even though there were two black flood dragons sent by 77 to watch over the place, he still felt a little guilty.

This was also one of Wang Muyu’s survival methods. In his opinion, if he encountered an extremely strong enemy, the most important thing was not to rely on the defense of the territory to resist, but to escape quickly!

Therefore, to Wang Muyu, an extremely long-range detection equipment was much more important than any trap equipment.

Of course, he would not know that it was precisely because of this mentality that he was ruthlessly scammed by Xuan Ming.

However, one was willing to sell and the other was willing to buy. There was no true winner or loser.

At this moment, the scene on the screen was the scene of the new lords ganging up on the two monster forces!

There were a total of eight new lords, six of them were Tier-8 new lords and two of them were Tier-9 new lords.

It was almost the same as all the new lords around Wang Muyu.

Previously, these new lords had sent people to rope Wang Muyu in, but after seeing Wang Muyu’s troops, they immediately turned around and left.

They didn’t take him seriously!

Wang Muyu, who had only a humanoid knight at Tier 7, was completely disregarded by these people.

Even though Wang Muyu had already used the Elemental Holy Stone to raise a portion of his knights to Tier 8!

Logically speaking, such strength was already considered pretty good.

At the very least, against a Tier-9 monster faction and a Tier-8 monster faction, there was still a high chance of victory.

However, it was a pity that these new lords did not expect that these two monster factions could work together.

The Tier-9 monster faction was a Tier-9 stormfire bear. It was very strong and had the power to use fire and wind.

The power of wind and fire were complementary to each other. When the two were combined, they could display even more strength.

The Tier-8 monster faction was the wind-oil ant, a wind-type monster that stored a large amount of oil.

When these wind-oil ants attacked, they would spew out oil from their bodies. At the same time, they would use the power of the wind to spread the oil, covering a wide area.

The new lords did not care much about the wind-oil ants.

After all, it was just oil. Even if they sprayed it on their bodies, it would only make them a little slippery.

These wind-oil ants didn’t know how to spit fire!

Originally, these new lords had planned to easily finish off the wind-oil ants first, then concentrate their combat power to deal with the stormfire bear.

Unfortunately, they didn’t know that the wind-oil ants and the stormfire bears belonged to the same force.

The wind-oil ants were the vassal forces of the stormfire bears, relying on the stormfire bears to survive.

When they attacked the wind-oil ants, the stormfire bears immediately rushed over to support them.

When the stormfire bears arrived, a large amount of oil instantly turned into a sea of fire.

Because of the stormfire bears’ storm power, this sea of fire quickly covered the attacking troops of the new lords.

It directly caused the new lord’s troops to instantly collapse!

A large number of soldiers were burned to death. Before the new lords could gather their forces, a large number of stormfire bears pounced on them.

These stormfire bears were huge in size, and due to their wind-attribute strength, their speed was extremely fast. The surrounding new lords could not escape.

Other than the two Tier-9 new lords that could barely resist, the rest of the Tier-8 new lords were stuck in the mud, unable to extricate themselves.

A large number of the Tier-8 soldiers began to be killed by the stormfire bears.

The stormfire bears’ strength was extremely strong, and their thick bodies made their impact extremely strong.

Coupled with the strength of the flames and storm, the surrounding new lords and soldiers were all killed, while the stormfire bear’s strength caused the other new lords to flee.

“Steady! Steady! We can not retreat!”

The two Tier-9 new lords, who had already begun to stabilize the situation, immediately cried out when they saw this.

Actually, the stormfire bears and the wind-oil ants were not difficult to deal with. They had only been struck by a single blow and were unable to defend themselves.

As long as they could stabilize their formation, they would be able to form a sufficient defensive force.

At that time, with the strength of so many new lords and troops, it was very likely that they would be able to crush these stormfire bears.

Unfortunately, it was already too late!

If these two Tier-9 new lords had helped the other new lords stabilize the situation at the start, the situation would not turned out so bad.

Unfortunately, in order to preserve their own forces, these two Tier-9 new lords had not chosen to help the other Tier-8 new lords.

After all, they were only working together, and were not really allies.

This caused the situation to completely collapse.

Under such circumstances, no matter how much the two Tier-9 new lords shouted, it was useless.

They were already defeated, and could not escape.

The flames in the surroundings were getting bigger and bigger, as large amounts of stormfire bears continued to rush out from the sea of flames, ending the lives of the soldiers one by one.

“What should we do?” One of the Tier-9 new lord, Guo Feiyang, looked at the other Tier-9 new lord, Fang Qian, and asked.

If they wanted to escape, it was likely that they would not be able to form a powerful team to deal with the stormfire bears and wind-oil ants.

Fang Qian looked at the surroundings and his eyes flashed. Then, he said, “We can’t retreat! We must take this opportunity to get rid of these stormfire bears and wind-oil ants.”

If it was just two monster forces, he wouldn’t care so much.

However, among these two monster forces, there would be Holy Stones.

Both Fang Qian and Guo Feiyang had come for the Holy Stones.

Guo Feiyang said, “However, the other new lords have already been defeated. If it were just us, I’m afraid that we wouldn’t be able to wipe out the wind-oil ants and the stormfire bears.”

The combined power of the wind-oil ants and the stormfire bears was simply too powerful. Although both of their forces were Tier-9, their combined numbers were only about the same as the stormfire bears’.

If they were to really fight, it was hard to say who would win.

The light in Fang Qian’s eyes flickered continuously. Clearly, he was also considering whether or not to fight.

In just two seconds, Fang Qian looked at Guo Feiyang with a determined expression and said, “Fight! Fight! We cannot retreat! As long as the two of us can stabilize the situation, the defeated people will return to help us. If we miss this opportunity, I’m afraid that the others will not come again.”

“When that time comes, the situation will not be any better for the two of us when we face the raging storm.”

“Moreover, I’m afraid that the news of the Holy Stone has already spread out. If we don’t speed up, I’m afraid that we will be attacked by others halfway.”

Hearing Fang Qian’s words, Guo Feiyang’s eyes flickered. In the end, he gritted his teeth and nodded.

“Alright! Let’s go all out! You get your frost witch spirit to quickly release an ice-type attack from behind. I’ll get my xuanwu divine turtle to block in front. Quickly stabilize the situation!”

Fang Qian nodded when he heard Guo Feiyang’s words. After that, a large number of frost witch spirits that were escaping quickly arrived behind the xuanwu divine turtles and began to cast ice-type magic attacks.

A large number of hailstones began to fall from the sky and quickly smashed towards the sea of fire in front of them.

As a large number of hailstones fell, a large amount of fog began to rise from the sea of fire in front of them and quickly spread out in all directions.

At this moment, numerous ice crystals began to condense on the ground and spread rapidly from the ground to the front.

The flames were extinguished by the hailstones that fell from the sky, and the large amount of ice crystals began to reduce the terrifying temperature.

“Roar!”

One after another, stormfire bears rapidly pounced over, wanting to attack the frost witch spirits that were releasing ice-type power.

The xuanwu divine turtles had already blocked their way forward, and they spat out a large amount of cold air from their mouths.

The cold air contained cold poison, and some of the flames surrounding the raging stormfire bears were directly extinguished by the cold air. The remaining cold poison even broke through the wind element power surrounding the raging stormfire bears, and began to invade their bodies.

The xuanwu divine turtles could be considered to be somewhat related to the Han Wu’s Black Turtle clan.

Compared to the black turtle, the xuanwu divine turtle not only possessed an extremely strong defensive strength, but it also possessed an extremely powerful offensive strength.

The stormfire bear’s body, which had been invaded by the cold poison, suddenly stiffened. Soon after, it felt a bone-piercing chill surging into its body.

Subsequently, the stormfire bear let out an angry roar. A large number of flames burst out from its body and directly forced the cold poison out.

“Roar!”

A stormfire bear directly leaped up and appeared in midair. After which, it quickly smashed onto the body of a xuanwu divine turtle. The sharp claws in its hands were directly embedded into the turtle shell of the xuanwu divine turtle.

Large amounts of wind attribute energy gathered on the sharp claws of the stormfire bear, transforming into the sharpest wind blades that swiftly cut through the flesh of the xuanwu divine turtle.

At the same time, a large amount of flames rose from the sharp claws of the stormfire bear and quickly burned the xuanwu divine turtle’s flesh.

Under the pain, the xuanwu divine turtle quickly withdrew all of its limbs into the turtle shell.

At the same time, the turtle shell began to extend and directly wrapped around the xuanwu divine turtle, forming an iron bucket-like defense!

The stormfire bear directly sent the xuanwu divine turtle flying, but it did not cause too much damage to the turtle.

Meanwhile, some of the stormfire bears turned their gazes to the frost witch spirits not far ahead. They directly bypassed the xuanwu divine turtle’s obstruction and quickly arrived beside these frost witch spirits.

With the help of the wind element power, the sharp claws in their hands quickly headed towards the frost witch spirits in front of them.

The power of the flames wrapped around the sharp claws, strengthening the attacks of the stormfire bears.

“Crack!”

Accompanied by a series of sounds, some frost witch spirits directly gathered their powers into their bodies, quickly condensing into ice crystals.

As for the other frost witch spirits, their bodies turned illusory, turning into a semi-transparent form.

When these stormfire bear attacks landed on the frost witch spirits that had condensed into ice, they would directly explode the ice crystals.

However, the bodies of the frost witch spirits had already quickly disappeared.

Soon after, the bodies of these frost witch spirits slowly appeared behind them, but their expressions were clearly a little pale.

The frost witch spirits that could quickly turn their bodies illusory were much better.

The sharp blades that were mixed with the stormfire bears’ claws slid past their illusory bodies. Although they also caused damage to these frost witch spirits, the damage was much smaller compared to the other frost witch spirits.

The xuanwu divine turtles quickly pounced over, once again blocking the bodies of the stormfire bears in front of them, preventing them from getting close to the frost witch spirits.

“The situation has stabilized! Don’t run anymore! Quickly come back and help!” Fang Qian shouted at the new lords of the defeated Tier-8 soldiers behind him.

When the new lords of the escaping Tier-8 soldiers heard Fang Qian’s words, they all turned around.

Seeing that the situation was starting to stabilize, a few of them hesitated.

When Fang Qian saw this, he roared out angrily, “This is our only chance! The news of the Holy Stone has already spread! If you guys leave now, don’t even think about getting it!”

“Furthermore, we had an agreement! If you guys escape now, Guo Feiyang and I will not let you guys off!”

When the Tier-8 lords heard this, they did not know if they had been threatened by the second sentence, but they started to return.

With the return of these Tier-8 soldiers, the entire situation started to stabilize.

The xuanwu divine turtles stood at the front, while the remaining Tier-8 soldiers and frost witch spirits started to attack in a large area.

This was the first time stormfire bears began to retreat. It was as though they were unable to withstand the attacks from the front.

Just as Wang Muyu was watching nervously, a huge team appeared on the screen.

Ren Qi and the succubus army had arrived!
