Chapter 4098
Huge damage had appeared in the Blood Dragon Canyon.
At first, the forces were still resisting tenaciously, not wanting to give up this place so easily.
But as soon as they went deeper, they found something. If they dug deeper, there would definitely be good things in this area.
It was just that the enemy's momentum was fierce. In addition to the strange beasts with the blood of the Blood Dragon, the hidden Native Clan also joined in.
"Go!
Go! "
He Wei's voice came from the depths. He led the desolate He family. Because they were the first to go in, they went the deepest, so they suffered the greatest blow.
The cold wind blew, and the fallen leaves danced wildly. Sometimes, there was a strong beast roar, and the entire canyon seemed to be shaking.
"Damn it, that beast is coming out!"
He Wei shouted loudly. A behemoth was chasing behind them. It was a giant python with two bulges on its head that had shown signs of atavism.
The giant python spat out flames, and the canyon instantly turned into a sea of fire.
Some of the Sacred Spirits who were swept by the sea of fire only had time to scream before their bodies were submerged in the sea of fire and disappeared.
The earth shook, and a creature that looked like an earth dragon drilled out of the ground. It had the power to split open a mountain, and all the humans along the way were sent flying.
*****
Just as these strange beasts launched their attack, the Native Clan also attacked from the other side, catching everyone off guard.
All the survivors began to run away.
After escaping from the canyon, the strange beasts stopped chasing, but the Native Clan did not give up and continued to chase.
This was a big escape, and the performance of all the forces was extremely embarrassing.
At this moment, in the secret chamber, the people of the Holy Moon Clan watched this scene silently. Their expressions did not change much.
Or rather, they had already felt the same way.
The cunning of the Native Clan was not new. They had experienced it many times, and each time they suffered heavy losses.
Looking at the tragic events that happened today, some people even felt a sense of balance in their hearts.
Many people died when we opened up our territory, and it was only right that they died.
At this moment, it was not just one direction that was attacked, but eight directions were attacked at the same time.
Caught off guard, all the forces retreated in defeat.
This included the other two Sacred Clans and the Five Elements Family.
After Zi Chen learned of the defeat, he was slightly stunned. Originally, he was planning a defensive battle, but he did not expect the others to be defeated.
And from the looks of it, it was clear that they were going to keep retreating.
Perhaps they would retreat back to where they first came from.
What about this mineral vein?
A group of core members sat together. As the most talented members of the Holy Thunder Clan, not only were their battle prowess extraordinary, but their intelligence was also extraordinary.
Zi Chen first distributed the soul weapons. He repeated the same words: soul weapons are only to be borrowed, not given.
The others were not close to Zi Chen, so they were not as thick-skinned as Lei Wushuang.
At this moment, everyone was sitting together, discussing the latest information.
In fact, at that moment, everyone was still discussing how to play this defensive battle that could possibly be targeted.
"I think we should give up on the deeper areas first. Our mineral vein is deep underground. If nothing unexpected happens, it won't be a problem to continue hiding."
A core member named Liu Tang said, "Before we're exposed, we shouldn't fight.
That's because once we're exposed, the enemy won't just be the Vestigial Clan. We may be attacked from both sides. "
Originally, everyone's hidden enemies were the major forces that might fight over the mineral vein. Fierce battles were inevitable.
But now that the Vestigial Clan had suddenly attacked, once the Holy Thunder Clan chose to expose themselves at this time, they would inevitably be attacked from both front and rear.
At that time, who would be able to defend this place?
The other core members who didn't speak nodded repeatedly. This method was the safest.
At this moment, Lei Wusheng said, "If we don't fight, what if the Vestigial Clan attacks the periphery?
Could it be that we have to stay underground and guard these Heaven Crystals? "
He picked up a piece of sky crystal and said, "This is good stuff. It's the lifeline of the Lost World, but that's it.
If we can't find other resources, this thing is useless. "
The sky crystal was just a key to open the door. It had no value in itself. The real value was the resources inside the door. Lei Wusheng's words were not without reason.
"Then is this feasible?"
Another core member said, "We'll hide underground. After the Vestigial Clan passes over our heads, we'll appear again and chase after them from behind. We'll wipe them out in one fell swoop.
Or we can take the opportunity to go deep into the Blood Dragon Canyon and explore for opportunities. "
Everyone spoke freely and talked about various possibilities.
But there were also core members who remained silent.
Zi Chen sat aside and didn't speak. Instead, he listened to everyone's opinions.
In the end, everyone looked at Zi Chen.
When they came, they all remembered the words of Holy Sage Lei Di. The final decision was in Zi Chen's hands.
Zi Chen looked to the side where the commander of the core city was sitting. He had personally brought people in this time.
Although he wasn't an extreme core member, his status was extremely high. Therefore, he was also in this meeting.
Sensing Zi Chen's gaze, the commander, who had been silent all this time, said, "Zi Chen, you can do as you see fit."
In fact, he was still under a lot of pressure sitting with a group of extreme core members because these extreme core members represented the top forces of the Holy Thunder Clan in the future. It was only a matter of time before they became Nine-Star Holy Spirits.
Maybe one or two of them would be able to advance to a higher level.
Zi Chen thought for a moment and said, "This time, no matter whether they have the power to stop them or not, as long as the Vestigial Clan continues to chase after them, they will keep running until we appear."
This was Zi Chen's understanding of the other forces. It was obviously impossible not to make use of such a big backer like the Holy Thunder Clan.
Zi Chen said, "So we must appear. But how we should appear is the key at the moment.
If we all go out and block the encirclement of the Vestigial Clan, it won't be a problem, but our losses won't be optimistic.
And the allies we saved from the Vestigial Clan may turn into hungry wolves in the next moment and start to bite us. "
Everyone was still silent. Everyone had already mentioned this possibility before. Right now, they were only waiting for Zi Chen to make the decision.
Zi Chen had the final say on how to attack. Everyone just needed to carry it out.
This was the extreme core members. They didn't have much utilitarian thoughts. Moreover, they only cared about the Holy Thunder Clan.
Zi Chen finally said, "Considering that we don't have any real allies at the moment, I'll take the first wave of people out to resist the enemy. If the deeper areas are lost, we'll continue to retreat."
Zi Chen pointed to the top of his head and said, "Many people think that this place is an open space. We won't hide it. After retreating here, we'll just give up.
You guys will continue to hide underground, but not always. You'll act according to the circumstances. "
Although Zi Chen hadn't been to the deeper areas, he already knew the information about the Blood Dragon Canyon. He said directly, "If possible, our Holy Thunder Clan will strive to be the first to take down the Blood Dragon Canyon."
Zi Chen stood up and looked at everyone. "Does anyone have anything to add?"
The others got up one after another and saluted Zi Chen with cupped fists. Naturally, they didn't have any objections.
Zi Chen said again, "Have you prepared the Transmission Talisman?"
A thin and small core member patted his pocket and said with a smile, "Don't worry. I'll make sure there's enough."
His name was Little Lei. He was a Sacred Talisman Master, but he didn't know many Sacred Talisman Techniques.
The Transmission Talisman was one of them.
Last time, Fu Lao had intended for him to lead everyone here. However, Little Lei was on a mission and happened to be away.
Zi Chen looked at Lei Wusheng and said, "You stay here. We can't expose this place for the time being."
To everyone's knowledge, Zi Chen, Lei Wusheng, and the hundreds of people were still in the deeper areas. There were only Lei Wusheng and a few dozen people here.
Zi Chen led the hundreds of people back to the depths of the Earth Domain.
Lei Wushuang was already prepared for battle. According to the latest information, the retreating forces would arrive here in two days.
Looking at the people Zi Chen brought back, Lei Wushuang was a little puzzled.
"The situation is unclear. We can't expose ourselves for the time being."
Zi Chen said, "Once the war breaks out, you need to destroy the Transmission Formation immediately when we retreat. Moreover, you can't leave any traces."
Lei Wushuang nodded. Destroying corpses and destroying evidence was a common thing for her.
Zi Chen walked out of the restriction and looked ahead. Some people who had heard the news had already begun to retreat.
They had never been to the Blood Dragon Canyon before. After hearing what had happened in the deeper areas, they didn't even fight a decent battle and ran away just like that.
Zi Chen appeared with hundreds of people. An oppressive aura surged forward.
Even so, the others still had no intention of stopping. They were still running away.
Zi Chen said, "You guys wait here. I'll go in and take a look first."
He flew forward.
A day later, he met with the escaping team. Everyone's essence, energy, and spirit had been beaten out of them. They were in a sorry state.
Half of the He family's thousand-man team had been lost. As for He Wei, who had fought with Zi Chen, he had lost an arm.
The broken arm of a Holy Spirit could be repaired, but the other party had not done so. It could be seen that they had run in a hurry.
Looking at everyone's condition, Zi Chen knew that they couldn't defend that place.
There was no need to think about it.
Without essence, energy, and spirit, they had no combat power.
It seemed that they could only keep retreating.
Shouts came from behind. It sounded like shepherds chasing after animals. The Vestigial Clan had caught up.
The faces of the fleeing Holy Spirits changed drastically. It was obvious that this sound had been lingering in their ears like a nightmare during this period of time.
Zi Chen began to draw talismans. His powerful soul power surged between heaven and earth.
One after another, Spirit Tigers appeared. Their bodies were extremely huge, like mountains, standing in the air.
Seeing those Spirit Tigers, the eyes of the other Holy Spirits suddenly lit up.
But that was all. Before they adjusted their state of mind, they couldn't take the initiative to fight again.
Zi Chen's Spirit Tigers could only delay them temporarily. The Vestigial Clan, who were full of vigor, rushed forward and tore the Spirit Tigers apart.
Zi Chen retreated with everyone. From time to time, he would help them buy some time so that more people could survive.
When they arrived outside the restriction of the Holy Thunder Clan, Lei Wushuang did not hesitate to destroy the teleportation formation and the mineral vein. She chose to retreat with her people.
