Suddenly, Xiao Chen's gaze swept across the entire Sky Lake Royal City. Beyond the city, he saw the silhouettes of ships bobbing up and down on the surface of the river!
This was a ship that escorted resources. Even though it was far away, he could still see the mottled blood stains on the ship. There were also some sails covered in ashes. It was obvious that the ship had been invaded by the Beast Clan warriors!
Currently, Otaku had formed an encirclement around the humans in the Cang Lan River Basin. As for the northernmost side of the Cang Lan River Basin, although there weren't any powerful Otaku forces, the northernmost side was the border of the Beast Taming World. It was a dangerous place, and the humans had nowhere to retreat to.
Of course, this was under the condition that the humans held their ground. After all, Xiao Chen still had the passage to return to the human world. Now, the most important thing was how the scattered human combat masters could safely retreat!
"Clan leader, subordinate Gu Dong has returned with a team!"
Suddenly, a ray of light flew towards the center of the Sky Lake Royal City where Xiao Chen was. He knelt on the ground and shouted.
The person who came was stained with blood, and his aura was also a little unstable. Obviously, he had experienced a lot of killing!
"What's the result?" Xiao Chen asked.
"Patriarch, there is indeed a force of the Imperial Beast Clan that has snuck into the Canglan River Basin. I have fought with them, but they escaped. It is they who have reunited the Imperial Beast Clan that has been scattered and are constantly harassing our fleet. Their purpose is to slow down our Human Clan!"
Hearing this, Xiao Chen didn't say anything. He kept thinking. Now, he was sure that Otaku must know about the current predicament the human race was in. After all, the Eastern Wilderness and the Southern Region had undergone great changes. Every human race member was personally involved in it.
Maybe they didn't know that it was because of the underground crack, but such a disaster couldn't be covered up.
These days, more and more human warriors had died. Obviously, Otaku had learned about what was happening to the human race through memory snatching!
"Gu Dong, lead your subordinates and kill the Beast Tamer Race's force. Make sure that the human raiding team returns to the Sky Lake Monarch City safely!" Xiao Chen ordered. The cultivators below obeyed and left!
At this moment, a ray of light flashed in the distant sky. Within a breath's time, a figure broke through the void and came towards Xiao Chen.
At this moment, a ray of light flashed in the distant sky. Within a breath's time, a figure broke through the void and came towards Xiao Chen.
The person who had just arrived was the Qingluo King of the Qingluo Family. She had led a group of combat masters to raid the Ashen River, and at this moment, it was clear that she had already completed the raid and was returning with her troops!
On the great blue river outside the city, a huge fleet of ships that stretched as far as the eye could see came one after another. The bow and stern of the ships were densely packed together, and there were at least a thousand ships of various sizes.
"Greetings, Queen Qingluo!"
Xiao Chen said. As the only female Queen of the Southern Region, she obviously wasn't a simple person. As a Queen, she naturally wasn't soft-hearted. She killed decisively!
"Holy Son, This King is escorting the Otaku fleet back. Along the way, he was harassed by the remnants of Otaku. According to my observation, these scattered Otaku seem to have organized themselves and are in order!"
Queen Qingluo also noticed the changes in Otaku. After all, a pile of loose sand was just a motley crew. With organization and order, their combat strength would be greatly different!
"That's right. Otaku's counterattack has begun. Therefore, This King needs Queen Qingluo to go down the Lu River immediately and bring back our human fleet!"
Xiao Chen did not delay at all, immediately giving instructions.
"Alright, I'll set off right now," Queen Qingluo agreed without any hesitation.
Of course, Xiao Chen didn't let Queen Qingluo leave alone. The southern part of the Lu River was one of the central areas of Otaku's counterattack. The pressure there would definitely be great. The Lord of the Dead Demons and Prince Shenyang alone wouldn't be able to stop them.
Once the Lord of the Dead Demons was defeated, Otaku would definitely invade. The Gu Yuan Tribe cultivators on the Lu River Basin would be slaughtered endlessly. Therefore, even if they had to retreat, they had to last until the Gu Yuan Tribe's combat masters had all retreated!
Now, Xiao Chen condensed another three Martial Clones. They were the Elemental Earth Clone, the Elemental Wind Clone, and the Water Clone. The Elemental Wind Clone and the Elemental Earth Clone that followed the Qingluo King were the Elemental Wind Clone!
As for the Water clone, it had gone to the Two World Mountain in the southwest to meet up with the four kings to fend off the Ancient Heavenly Python clan.
"Pass down my order. Order the Song River Basin, Huai River Basin, and all the other water basins to retreat to the Sky Lake Royal City!"
"Tell all the combat masters to abandon their resources if necessary and retreat to the Sky Lake Royal City within two days!" Following Xiao Chen's order, countless figures flew in all directions from the Sky Lake Royal City.
In fact, Xiao Chen had already issued the same order before. However, because the human race had obtained too many resources, the speed at which they retreated to the Sky Lake Royal City was greatly delayed.
This time, Xiao Chen had no choice but to order the combat troops to abandon the resources and retreat to Sky Lake Royal City as soon as possible. After all, all the combat masters that had entered this time were from the Gu Yuan Tribe. Even if they lost ten combat masters in a single branch, the number of branches above Heavenly Blue would add up to a huge number. Furthermore, they had already obtained enough resources. He was not willing to risk the lives of his tribesmen!
Apart from that, Xiao Chen didn't stay idle either. He also had a new plan in mind.
Since Otaku didn't want him to leave, then he wouldn't leave!
He was like a nail nailed to the land of Otaku!
In fact, this was the decision he made after careful consideration. The human race had killed so many tribesmen of Otaku and completely destroyed the entire northern region of Otaku. However, the powerhouses of Otaku still hadn't appeared.
After receiving feedback from various sources, although the forces of Otaku that had appeared on the three sides of Canglan River seemed to be united, the true powerhouses hadn't appeared yet. He didn't believe that other than the Beast Sovereign Emperor, there were no other Eighth or Ninth Heaven powerhouses in Otaku.
However, even at this stage, they still hadn't appeared when the human race attacked them. On the contrary, some of the families guarding Otaku responded.
Obviously, under the surface of Otaku's unity, there were still some unknown estrangement. They weren't as harmonious as they looked!
Therefore, he wanted to take a gamble!
He wanted to bet that the major forces of Otaku weren't harmonious!
He wanted to bet that the powerhouses of the human race could arrive at the border in time and enter Otaku!
This way, they would be like a nail nailed to the land of Otaku, firmly occupying the Canglan River basin and exerting pressure on Otaku!
If they advanced, they could attack the various regions of Otaku. If they retreated, they could occupy the Canglan River basin and dominate the entire Beast Taming World!
From then on, the Beast Taming World would have to bear the brunt of the human race's attack!
Of course, the premise of all this was that the Gu Yuan Tribe's combat masters that were scattered everywhere had to return to the Sky Lake Royal City. After all, with the power he currently had, it wasn't enough to defend the entire Canglan River basin!
Therefore, as long as he defended the Sky Lake Royal City and firmly occupied it, he would have the capital to defend against Otaku's invasion!
Suddenly, a green light flashed in front of Xiao Chen, followed by a purple light.
"This is the Beast Taming World. This old man has never been to a small world of a foreign race in my life. Its aura is indeed different from the human race's!"
In front of Xiao Chen, a purple-robed elder appeared. It was the King of Purple Clouds!
This God of War Palace Master, whom Xiao Chen had hired with a King-grade fey, had always been in the Gu Yuan Tribe. At this moment, he had arrived at the Beast Taming World through the Seal of Mountains and Rivers!
When the King of Purple Clouds appeared, Xiao Chen didn't waste time with him. He immediately said, "I want to completely nail the Beast Taming World. Therefore, I will use this Royal City as the foundation to build a complete stronghold to defend against Otaku's attack and hold on until the powerhouses of the human race arrive!"
What!
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the King of Purple Clouds almost jumped up. His eyes widened, and he shouted, "Xiao Chen, are you crazy?!"
At this moment, he didn't even call him 'Son of Saint' anymore!
What kind of joke was this? He wanted to use a stronghold to defend against an entire race!
This was simply a fantasy. Even if this race wasn't ranked in the heavens, a race that could stand at the top of the heavens wouldn't be simple!
That was why the King of Purple Clouds had such a huge reaction!
This was simply a joke!
Regarding the King of Purple Clouds' reaction, Xiao Chen had already expected it. Therefore, when the King of Purple Clouds' expression calmed down, he said again, "Only by establishing a foothold here can we continue to nibble away at Otaku!"
"Impossible, that's impossible!"
The King of Purple Clouds was still shouting and waving his hand.
"Son of Saint, no stronghold can defend against the attack of an entire race. Even if there is, it isn't something that you and I can build. Now that we've plundered enough blood, bones, and resources, we can directly return to the human world!"
The King of Purple Clouds kept saying to Xiao Chen.
However, Xiao Chen shook his head, and his voice became gentler. "King of Purple Clouds, I know that we've obtained enough resources this time to pacify the Abyssal Pit, but what about next time?"
"Who can guarantee that the Human Race will have enough resources to fill the gap the next time the Abyssal Pit erupts!"
"Yes, our plan to attack Otaku this time was very successful, but we have to think about the long term. It's been almost a month, and there's still no news from Emperor Dong's Palace. There's still no news from Brother Bear King. What does this mean?"
"This means that the calamity that the Human Race is facing this time is beyond our imagination. What we have to do next is to save ourselves!"
"Right now, Otaku is the only place that the Eastern Wilderness and the Southern Region can plunder resources and make up for our losses. Therefore, even if there's only a glimmer of hope, we can't give up!"
"I can't watch the Southern Region fall into ruin. I can't watch the descendants of the human race fall into ruin!"
