The Megrez Castle was about 70 kilometers away from the White Cloud Castle. Although it didn't seem far, the road was fraught with danger. The terrain was filled with mountains and forests.
Simple exploration was not difficult for experts, but it was not easy for a large army to march.
If they were not careful, they would be besieged by a large group of spiritual beasts!
Furthermore, other than spiritual beasts, there were many spiritual plants on Sunset Island. Those strange spiritual plants were the hardest to guard against. Many of them were highly poisonous!
"Your Highness, the terrain on the island is too complicated. There are primitive forests and all kinds of strange poisonous creatures and insects that have never been seen before!"
Zhang Tie said with a worried expression.
Hong Tianquan pondered for a moment. He looked at Li Shan and Gong Dazhi and asked, "How is the construction of your two clans' camps going? How many people do you have?"
Although he had declared that no other clans were allowed to build camps within a hundred miles, the Shadow Clan and the Soul Clan were exceptions.
"Your Highness, the construction of our Shadow Clan's camp has been completed. We are expanding it. Currently, we have 1000 Shadow Clan experts and some other clans!"
Li Shan was the first to speak.
Although she was Hong Tianquan's subordinate, she adored Hong Tianquan and obeyed his every word!
Furthermore, her status in the Shadow Clan was not low. Not only was she born noble, but she was also very talented. Otherwise, she would not have been taken in as a subordinate by Hong Tianquan.
"Very good. You can inform the Shadow Clan and let them attack first to test the strength of the White Cloud Castle!"
Hong Tianquan narrowed his eyes.
"Your Highness, the Soul Clan has more than 1000 clansmen in their camp. We can let them join forces. Together with the experts from other clans, it should be enough!"
Gong Dazhi said aloud.
He was a commoner from the Soul Clan. However, he was quite talented. He was not even 30 years old and was already at the peak of rank 6. He was about to advance to rank 7.
"Alright, then it's decided. You go inform the other two clans and let them join forces to test the strength of the White Cloud Castle and open up a path!"
Hong Tianquan nodded.
…
In the White Cloud Castle, Ou Shaotian was guarding against the God Clan. He even left the little vine behind. However, he did not expect Hong Tianquan to be so cautious.
After devouring a few peak rank 6 experts, the little vine had successfully advanced to rank 7. There were hundreds of vines.
Most importantly, the vines were more than 1000 meters long.
When the vines were rooted to the ground, they could continue to grow. They were like clones that were connected together. The longer they grew, the more there would be.
The walls of White Cloud Castle were covered with lush vines.
Those who were unaware of the situation would only think that it was an ordinary rattan plant. Only the upper echelons knew how fearsome these rattan plants were.
Currently, White Cloud Fort's strongest defensive formation was not a Level Seven formation.
Instead, it was the vines that covered the entire camp.
Ou Shaotian had only just realized how terrifying it was when the little vine took root and multiplied.
As everyone knew, vines were a type of plant that grew very quickly. Once they grew, they would grow into large patches.
After the vine had started to multiply, it was no longer just a single vine, but countless vines!
Although they didn't have any intelligence, they were still under the control of the little vine.
These vines that grew out of it were all under its control. Moreover, these vines were not weak. The weakest of them was at the Third Order.
As long as he had enough time to grow, reaching Rank 4 or Rank 5 wouldn't be a problem.
It was even possible for it to gain sentience!
However, it was too difficult for plants to gain sentience. Even for plants like man-eating flowers, most of them didn't have any sentience.
They only relied on their biological instincts to hunt!
…
On the evening of the second day.
The teams from the Soul Clan and the Shadow Clan arrived near White Cloud Castle. They used their talents to pass through the forest and set up camp about five kilometers away from White Cloud Castle.
When they arrived, Ou Shaotian was the first to discover them.
After discovering that there were spies guarding outside the camp, he didn't go out. Instead, he stayed in the camp and waited for his opponents to come.
Now, they were finally here.
Soon, the orders were passed down, and the small teams began to hide in the camp.
Next, they just had to wait for the enemies to come to them. They would cooperate with the formation and kill the enemies.
"Shao Tien, everything is arranged. We're just waiting for the enemies to come to us!"
Yun Duo came to Ou Shaotian's side and whispered.
"Okay, let's sit down and eat the barbecue. Don't worry!"
Ou Shaotian smiled and said.
At this moment, most of the people were still as usual. They gathered in groups of three to five and formed a circle. There was a barbecue in the middle and they were eating and drinking!
Many people were drinking to their hearts' content.
Other than the normal patrols, they seemed to be defenseless. At least, that was what the spies from the Soul Clan and the Shadow Clan thought.
A few kilometers away, in a huge tent, the experts from the Soul Clan and the Shadow Clan gathered and were discussing the plan of attack.
"Chief, according to the spies' report, the people from White Cloud Castle are still eating and drinking as usual after returning from hunting!"
Below the seats, someone reported.
"The flesh of these land creatures is indeed delicious. However, this is probably their last meal. Let them eat to their heart's content!"
The chief of the Soul Clan, Gong Tianjie, said proudly.
"Young Master Jie, let's wait for them to finish eating before we attack!"
The chief of the Shadow Clan, Li Feiying, who was sitting beside him, said with a smile.
Clearly, they thought that they had White Cloud Castle under their control.
…
Night fell. The sky was clear and the stars were shining brightly. The bright moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the entire Sunset Island.
Loud wolf howls came from the depths of the vast plains.
The scene of wolves howling at the moon involuntarily appeared in everyone's mind.
However, at this moment, several black figures flew through the forest and approached the White Cloud Fort.
The leaders were the Soul Clan and the Shadow Clan.
The two clans had gathered more than three thousand experts. Along the way, many of them had died, but there were still close to three thousand people who had safely arrived.
As long as they could successfully destroy White Cloud Castle, then the losses during the march would be made up for.
Soon.
The hidden Soul Clan and Shadow Clan experts moved first. In the blink of an eye, they jumped over the walls and silently infiltrated every corner of White Cloud Castle.
One of the Soul Clan members thought that he had hidden himself very well. After hiding in a corner, he revealed himself.
However, a blade light suddenly flashed from the corner and cut his throat while he was unprepared.
The one who attacked was the White Cloud Castle guards hidden in the formation.
This scene happened in every corner of White Cloud Castle.
Every movement of the shadow and spiritas was being monitored. Their invasion was simply an act of delivering their heads to the enemy.
More and more invaders were killed. The air was gradually filled with the faint smell of blood.
"These humans are weaklings. They're dead for sure!"
The surviving invaders were still proud. When they smelled the smell of blood, they thought that their companions had killed many humans.
The smell of blood was so thick, but the humans still hadn't discovered it!
