CHAPTER 1768: CHAPTER 1519: THE SITUATION IS SETTLED (DOUBLE-CHAPTER)_2

"Huh?"

Upon returning to the territory, Su Ran surprisingly found that the players had already stormed into the village, engaging in a fierce battle with the skeleton guards. Qing Qi was busily immersed in the fight, swinging her golden sword to create dazzling streams of golden light. In just a few moments, several lives had fallen under her blade, illustrating the sharpness of her assault.

It was unclear which clueless player attacked the Demon-sealing Platform, but the Red-Trained King Snake instantly materialized, exuding fierce might and launching into a frenzied massacre.

The players who had burst into the village were truly having a hard time. Aside from the constant repulsive force, they suffered from electric paralysis, reducing their agility by 3 points. Some unlucky ones got paralyzed on the spot, frozen in place.

Meanwhile, the Ghost King Drought Fiend on the city wall was fiercely clashing with Uncle Yu. Their battle was intense, likely mixed with racial enmity; otherwise, they wouldn’t fight so desperately.

Currently, the Ghost King Drought Fiend held the weapon advantage, while Uncle Yu didn’t dare to directly contend with the Hit Dog Whip, having to dodge awkwardly, appearing a bit bedraggled. However, Uncle Yu’s counterattacks were also sharp, leaving several scars on the fiend’s body, indicating it was a close match.

The nearly ten thousand flying soldiers had been largely decimated under the combined fire of the Sky-reaching Vine and elven archers, posing little remaining threat.

Banana was protected by the tower and had skeleton archers for fire support. He had long switched targets, ambushing Uncle Yu to create trouble for him, hoping the Drought Fiend would defeat him sooner.

Xue Wuqing used her trump skill, deploying the Ice Prison, causing dozens of players to fall from the sky to the ground. She showed no mercy, commanding over two thousand elven archers to shoot these players, leaving no survivors.

"Wow, in just a few minutes, it’s become this chaotic?"

Su Ran was startled. Without him overseeing the territory, it really was unstable. Fortunately, the situation was still within controllable limits, not too dire yet.

Thus, Su Ran wasted no time, summoning his thunder bats, Iron-blood Sand Puppet, Bounce Bounce, Ancient Venomous Jiao, and Wang Cai, throwing them all into the fray.

Su Ran himself wasn’t idle either, reactivating his crowd attack mode, violently sweeping through the enemy forces within the territory, thoroughly enjoying the action.

With Su Ran joining, the pressure on Qing Qi suddenly lightened. Under the sweep of several crowd techniques, her opponents fell like harvested wheat, the scene was too shocking. Qing Qi felt as if the blood in her veins was ignited, rushing towards the remaining wounded players, wanting to vent her excitement.

"Damn, Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained got back so quickly!"

"Isn’t that obvious? Crane That Doesn’t Dance was captured, of course he’d return!"

"Then what’s the point of attacking, let’s retreat!"

The players originally intended to seize the opportunity while Su Ran was away and the Divine Domain emissary took action, to snatch some benefits. Unexpectedly, this territory was so sinister, with constant negative statuses, causing great frustration!

They didn’t catch the fox but got themselves into trouble. The territory suffered no impact, while nearly a thousand of their own were dead or injured, not even on the same level. Rather than continue dying, they decided it was better to retreat while they still had a chance to survive.

The remaining players were terrified, fleeing the territory, no longer daring to oppose Su Ran.

"I’ll go help the Drought Fiend!"

Su Ran said to Qing Qi and then leapt into the air, striding towards the city wall. Upon reaching the attack range, he activated the Thousand-Mile Ice Seal skill on the ice orb without hesitation.

"Shush!"

A 5X5 area was enveloped in icy aura, turning into a frozen world in an instant. Uncle Yu and dozens of players caught in the area became ice sculptures, crashing to the ground.

"Wow, how unlucky, they all triggered the freeze state!"

Even Su Ran, the initiator, was surprised, not expecting the Thousand-Mile Ice Seal skill to trigger the freeze effect so graciously, truly impressive!

Seizing this great opportunity, Xue Wuqing commanded her elven archers to focus their fire, wiping out these flying soldiers. Aside from Uncle Yu, the Divine Domain emissary, few were left alive.

"Damn it!"

Observing the dire situation from afar, Shield War quickly recalled the remaining subordinates, nearly bleeding from heartache at the few flying soldiers left.

Betting on the Divine Domain emissary was a mistake, Shield War finally understood this truth, at the cost of heavy casualties.

"President, just giving up like this, I can’t accept it!"

One of the subordinates shouted angrily, "We’d rather die fighting here than live in humiliation!"

"Yes, we can’t account for the slain brothers this way!"

"Bullshit!"

Shield War was thoroughly enraged, "If we could take down this territory, your deaths would be worthwhile. Over half of the tens of thousands of brothers have died, and not even one building was destroyed, how can you say such a thing!"

"Let’s go over there and break the BOSS’s protective shell, taking down the Ghost Clan BOSS will at least account for the brothers!"

Shield War had completely abandoned this territory contest. Now, even the Divine Domain emissary was in danger, with no chance of a turnaround. It was better to give up now to minimize unnecessary losses. Only now did he understand why none of the Top Ten Guilds came. With Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained’s territorial defense, coming here was a fool’s errand!

Fortunately, there was still a BOSS to provide some solace. If they could get a platinum item, the losses would be rectified.

"President, something’s off with this BOSS, it seems like it’s about to explode, we better not go near!"

The ice-wielding player beside Shield War voiced his concern. He noticed the BOSS gained a circular protective shell when its health was nearly depleted, resembling a balloon that could explode any moment, which deterred them from acting.

"Why worry so much, fortune favors the bold. Besides, with so many of us, we can’t all get wiped out in an instant, right?"

Shield War declared confidently, "As long as we have survivors, we can claim the ultimate spoils!"

As Shield War led the team to assault the protective shield, Uncle Yu emerged from the frozen state, floating in mid-air, facing Su Ran from afar.

"Senior, it’s been a long time, how have you been?"

Su Ran called out, refraining the Ghost King Drought Fiend from continuing the attack. Now that the situation was stable, even with Uncle Yu’s further attempts, there wouldn’t be significant changes. This territory contest was nearing its end, and as soon as this so-called emissary was dealt with, it would be over.

Even Su Ran couldn’t believe the defense of this fortress could go so smoothly. The forces within the territory suffered minimal losses, at most only a few hundred, negligible compared to the players’ losses.

He knew it was thanks to the Mountain Suppression Stone and the Six Harmony Magnetic Heart Formation that significantly improved the territory’s defense. Without even alarming the territory’s Guardian Beast Five-clawed Bone Dragon King, the invaders had been driven out. This incident proved his level-six territory was getting closer to being unassailable, eliminating worry over such scale contests.

"Nephew, it turns out to be you, you came just in time. Quickly return our God Race’s Mountain Suppression Stone, I assure you the God Race won’t hold it against you. Otherwise, the wrath of the God Race will surely spread here!"

Seeing Su Ran, Uncle Yu put on an arrogant posture. Given his prestigious status in the God Race, he believed the Skeleton Lord before him wouldn’t be blind to the consequences. Opposing the God Race was practically digging one’s own grave!

"Senior, no rush to discuss the Mountain Suppression Stone, but there’s one thing I didn’t understand that I wanted to ask you,"

Su Ran wasn’t intimidated by Uncle Yu’s threats, questioning skeptically, "I believe I’ve treated you fairly, so why betray me without giving me a chance to complete the task?"

"Hahaha, how ridiculous, between gods and demons, where is there betrayal?"
