Baiyu shook his hand, and green-blue liquid dripped down his arm.

The surrounding black mist gradually roiled violently, gathering into a mass and merging into his body.

Once the Eye of the Black Moon is triggered for a death struggle, it will only disappear when one person has died in this Black Moon Realm.

At the same time.

The victor in the death struggle will acquire one ability from the deceased.

Baiyu rarely uses this ability.

The reason is...

The surrounding black mist gradually gathered into a ping-pong ball-sized Black Bead, merging into his body.

The Black Moon Power rampaged through Baiyu's body.

At that moment, not only did the pollution level in his body instantly surge, but a shadow of the Black Moon flashed through his mind.

A murmuring voice echoed in his ears.

"Save me... save me... save me..."

This voice kept repeating with a peculiar magic power, causing Baiyu to have a splitting headache.

Soon.

Until he fully absorbed the Black Bead, the voice gradually faded, and the shadow of the Black Moon no longer appeared in his mind.

This is why he is reluctant to use the Black Moon Power.

Every time he uses it, he feels himself being further corroded by the Black Moon, and the pollution level will skyrocket.

Only he can lower it quickly.

Otherwise, if it were anyone else, they would turn aberrant after just a few uses.

So far, Baiyu is very curious about how the Moon Lady and Yixian resist the corrosion of the Black Moon Power.

After recovering well.

Baiyu carefully sensed the ability he had gained from Lucas.

If it's Suppression or Deceptive Words, both are excellent; both abilities can be called Divine Skills.

The black bead now lay in Baiyu's abdomen, near the Blood and Qi Central Hub. As he activated the Blood Qi, the entire bead exploded inside his body.

"It's actually 'Suppression'..."

Baiyu was overjoyed.

This skill is simply a control Divine Skill, useful for both defense and offense.

However, Deceptive Words is also a Divine Skill.

But you can only seize one. If only Lucas could revive once.

Baiyu thought regretfully.

With the small Black Moon World concluded, Baiyu returned to the battlefield, which was in chaos, and Lv Tao lay unconscious under a nearby tree.

Baiyu picked him up and headed back toward the main force.

...

After such a delay, an hour had passed.

No one came looking for Baiyu, which meant the situation might not be good over at the main force either.

Otherwise, someone would definitely come looking for Baiyu.

After all, he is the Commander, whether of the Tiger Wolf Race, his Security Bureau unit, or the Bounty Hunter team, they would seek his whereabouts.

If something happened to him,

everyone would be in trouble going back, likely to be judged as deserters.

The fact that no one has come for so long proves that their situation over there is also critical, barely coping.

Baiyu hadn't walked far.

He saw Tiger Wolf Race soldiers resting by a small creek.

Nearby were armored motorcycles and mountain transport vehicles.

Compared to the number of Tiger Wolf Race soldiers before, those resting by the river were fewer in number, obviously, since Baiyu left, they had lost many in battles with the other races.

Seeing Baiyu approach,

several Tiger Wolf Race soldiers immediately cheered and hurriedly called their commander.

"What's happening?"

Baiyu looked at the dejected expression on everyone's face, totally unlike the usually combative Tiger Wolf Race soldiers.

The commander sighed: "Too many aliens, this is a major alien stronghold, their main base is hidden underground.

The Shell People Race likes to dig holes, and they hide underground, making them hard to find."

Baiyu nodded and asked, "What about the other units?"

The commander shook his head: "Everyone got scattered, the scene was chaotic, and we didn't know which way to run.

Too many aliens.

The Bounty Hunter team, and the Security Bureau team, all retreated separately from us.

Even on the road,

many of our brothers got scattered."

Baiyu knew the Tiger Wolf Race is a sub-human species with average intelligence, more adept at hunting and combat, weaker in coordinated operations and following orders.

You can't really blame them for that.

"Let's go, retreat toward Mountain City first, and gather scattered units along the way."

Baiyu said.

The Tiger Wolf Race soldiers had no objections, at this moment, they were utterly leaderless, and someone making decisions just fit their needs.

The group set off again.

On the way.

Baiyu encountered more Tiger Wolf Race soldiers and gathered them all together, gradually strengthening the entire troop.

Soon after.

Baiyu came across the main forces of the Bounty Hunters and Security Bureau.

They had surprisingly converged, but camped at the front of a valley, not advancing further.

Both units combined numbered about three hundred people.

It was a heavy loss.

This was truly a major defeat.

As Baiyu thought carefully, he realized he had suffered such a severe lesson the first time he led troops into battle.

Only a few Little Commanders were left in the team, and Baiyu could only gather them together to form a temporary command room.

"Commander Bai, we can't leave this mountain range now, the exits are all guarded by aliens, they seem to want to devour us all."

"Yes, every way is blocked by alien troops, we've tried breaking out several times but failed."

"Commander, it's difficult to return now, stuck here only leads to death. What do we do now?"

Several Little Commanders kept talking, seemingly competing on who could speak faster.

"Don't panic, we don't necessarily need to leave. According to that old Shell Person, the Shell People Race are building a Flesh and Blood Altar.

There, it's surely where their altar is located, hence so many Shell People Race members are present.

Have you sent the distress signal?"

Baiyu asked.

"We sent it, but the reinforcements from Mountain City haven't arrived, we can't hold on much longer."

A commander replied.

"Pass the order: Everyone rest and reorganize, we will break out in half an hour." Baiyu contemplated a while before speaking.

The commanders exchanged looks, hesitated a bit, but still nodded.

Breaking out now?

Isn't this running straight into the enemy's line of fire?

But they dared not defy Baiyu's orders.

"Better to fight back than sit still and wait for death, make a big commotion here, and the reinforcements from Mountain City will find us more easily." After the commanders left, Baiyu squeezed the Eye of the Black Moon in his hand.

The energy inside could be used for two more attacks.

But that's enough.

Half an hour flew by.

Baiyu, clad in golden Forbidden Armament, stood on top of a mecha heavy vehicle at the forefront, extremely conspicuous.

"Hear me, warriors, our target is the west, follow me back into battle!"

Baiyu shouted loudly.

The group of warriors looked perplexed; the west was exactly where the alien base was, where they first fought, that cave!
