Chapter 376: Chapter 279: Joint Punishment (4K)_1
“Thank you, brother, for lending a hand.”
On the perimeter of the Area of Two Realms, the two surviving lords wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, their hearts still palpitating.
Just now, they managed to shake off the pursuit of the gigantic wave of serpents, their flight burning bright against the sky, as they escaped.
“I was barely able to lend my aid. If it were to chase after us any longer, I believe it would have been depleted of its strength.”
So said Mu Yuan.
Just now, it was him who had dispatched General Duo Lai, lending aid to the escaping lords under the serpent wave.
While he couldn’t risk his life to save others, when he possessed the strength, he couldn’t stand by and watch the others die. As he said, utilizing attacks with wide-ranged explosive force, aimed at slowing the momentum of the serpent wave, was neither difficult nor dangerous.
Of course, everything has its risks. If a legendary figure lurked within the serpent wave, General Duo Lai might not return.
Because of this, Lord Shepherd had General Duo Lai split part of his body, leaving it with the team.
“A pity about the other lord.”
He said.
Three of the escaping lords were all Lord Players. When faced with a great crisis, they took their surviving elites and captains into their Lord’s Mark Space, and then with utmost effort, fled on the backs of their fastest generals.
One of them is City Lord Li Yao, who Mu Yuan had met previously. He was carried in the arms of a god monster who was at the peak of the Warlord Level, almost in a princess hugging style, and was still trembling from the residual fear.
Another one is Lord Ji Zhibiao of Thunder Realm. He rode the Thunder Dragon, the fastest of the lords, but nonetheless, he was still in a state of alarm.
“What exactly did you encounter?”
Mu Yuan asked.
City Lord Li Yao said, “After entering the Area of Two Realms, I didn’t encounter many powerful snake men. When we reached a certain location and saw snake men constructing a Totem Pillar, I met up with Lord Ji and the others. We discussed and decided to take action immediately…”
If there was only one of them, one legion, they might still hesitate. But with three lords, all of whom were moderately advanced senior lords, they would not fear a handful of snake men, would they?
“At first, it was as we anticipated. These snake men were strong but still not our match. We fought steadily, gradually eliminating them and advancing, until a certain moment…
“Suddenly, the ground collapsed. Beneath the collapsed ground were horrific pit after pit, each teeming with countless, hair-raising pythons apparently continuously breeding.
“At that time, a number of our soldiers fell into the serpent pits. The elites that fell in had no chance of resisting, they were instantly swarmed by countless snake men and devoured. Even a Third-order Warlord Level fighter could barely last a few seconds in the pit. Naturally, we retreated, but before we could get far, the pythons in the pit started to boil and formed a terrifying wave of mad serpents.
“I really couldn’t figure out how such a terrifying wave of serpents was formed!”
Remembering just now, Lord Li Yao felt both his heart racing and aching.
He had lost at least thirty elites just now! Not just cannon fodder, but the elites that he had painstakingly trained from his King’s Legion!
Surviving this ordeal, his heart was bleeding.
He was tempted to turn back, but this trip had not yielded much gain. Wouldn’t it be a loss if he turned back now? Thus, he was torn.
“Let’s first leave the junction and plan from there,”
said Mu Yuan. Through Black Crow’s vision, he could already see that several areas had been swept up by the wave of mad serpents.
This snake-man tribe could not be simply assessed by the standards of common monster tribes.
Their growth and breeding speed seemed extremely fast.
Mu Yuan decided to retreat from the junction, while the other two lords decided to explore the surroundings and assess the situation.
At this point, more and more explorers started realizing how formidable the snake-men were. Far from exterminating the snake-men and looting their treasures, they found it hard to even survive in the junction.
One by one, they were fleeing in panic.
“The trace of the Lord of Yongxing has disappeared?”
He asked. Sophia nodded her head.
This was somewhat disappointing, but not surprising. A powerful lord with numerous strategies would not be easily located.
Here, anyone could flip between the hunter and the hunted at any time.
Snake-men! Foreign lords! Events could turn in such a way that legendary figures might even set eyes on this place!
Mu Yuan became more cautious in his exploration.
At this point, in Taiwan’s official forum section on the Land of Two Realms, a Lord working under the Tai Xuan Liangyi suggested gathering troops.
“Firstly gather forces to exterminate the snake-man tribe and other monster populations. After that, everyone can continue their own explorations.”
After all, the aura of The Magic Treasure of Two Realms did not glow continuously. Explorers needed to search inch by inch, sweeping everything with their eyes for a chance to find it.
However, currently, even entering the junction is highly detrimental, not to mention meticulously exploring every inch.
If they want to explore, the monsters must be eliminated first.
This suggestion struck a chord with many explorers’ feelings.
Mu Yuan, in particular. Compared to other lords and explorers, Tianyuan Territory was merely a few hundred kilometers from this place. He was eager to exterminate this snake-man tribe.
The magic treasure could be ignored, but the snake-men must die!
Many high-level players and experienced lords instantly responded under the post, agreeing one after the other. Of course, the identity of the poster mattered.
The poster was marked with a golden authentication marker, displaying:
He had many titles.
Of course, this was normal. Many high-level players belonging to the official side often held multiple positions.
