Chapter 2656 - 2657: Preparations on All Sides

Unlike those mythological remnants who survived from the Mythical Era, Xu Haitang does not pay special attention to Feng Yuan, or rather, she doesn’t know Feng Yuan’s true identity, only knows he has a unique status in Maomu City, and has a Divine Beast following him.

That’s also why, if Feng Yuan doesn’t approach her first, she won’t seek him out either. As for the matters Feng Yuan mentioned, she doesn’t take them lightly, but she can’t make decisions on this either, or rather, the current descendants of mythological remnants are still accustomed to relying on the true mythological remnants.

After all, their long-term shelter has accustomed them to having adults handle the issues without considering advancing alone; although mythological remnants have noticed this issue, before this, they were more focused on other aspects, and these issues of the descendants weren’t considered problems back then.

There’s no way, back then the descendants of mythological remnants wouldn’t have much communication with the newly emerged humans, so this flaw wasn’t really a problem. As for now?

With the strength of mythological remnants, they are confident they can continue to shelter them until they find their own way, just need to gradually guide them to develop the ability to survive independently.

Feng Yuan doesn’t know their thoughts, and even if he did, he wouldn’t care. He doesn’t mind nor want to handle matters of the tribe.

The next day, after waking up, Feng Yuan ate the breakfast specially prepared by the town for them and then walked out of the barrier to patrol or saying stroll outside.

"The Netherworld scent still causes some impact here."

Looking around at the barren land, Feng Yuan said. Even though he said it was patrolling, he was just wandering around, as for whether there are enemies hiding around? He doesn’t need to search by eyesight.

"Indeed so, if they continue using that device, the erosion of the Netherworld scent will further intensify."

Veronia chuckled lightly and said, that device was strong, but the cost is substantial, at least the erosion by the Netherworld scent is enough for them to bear, originally the area around Kui Shan Town didn’t have much natural resources, and after Netherworld erosion, even more so.

"If transformed into Nether Soil, it might attract Ghost Series and Death-type Spirit Beasts to settle here, perhaps it’s a way out? Never mind, this doesn’t concern me."

Saying this, Feng Yuan laughed self-deprecatingly, speaking simply but such a gloomy environment may not be suitable for human habitation, so what the people of Kui Shan Town truly think is hard to say, because even considering the entire world, human settlements established in such specific environments are very rare.

It’s not that the environment is terribly perilous, with the strength of Spirit Beasts, such environments can accommodate humans, it’s just that such specific areas defy general tastes.

"Hm, they might not be willing, furthermore, the Nether Soil of the current world is not a good thing."

"That’s why I’m just saying casually, they probably won’t accept it, but if they continue guarding, who knows what could happen."

Looking at the wasteland already having a hint of Nether Soil scent, Feng Yuan sighed. Using the Power of the Netherworld is naturally a good means, but the adverse effects are beginning to show.

That’s as more Power of the Netherworld is drawn, the area around Kui Shan Town will gradually transform into Nether Soil, but considering the current war situation, it seems they have no choice.

"The calm before the storm, isn’t it..."

Having spent a peaceful night, Qi Chen does not feel any relief but rather oppressive because the opponent doing this only means they are preparing for a big strike, also unknown if those escaped Imperial people have been found, if...

"Enemies found in the northern valley! Prepare to strike!"

At this time, shouts were heard, because there are many people, so besides using drums and other means to deliver orders during wartime, there are also people responsible for shouting to convey messages among everyone.

Qi Chen does not know how many enemies were discovered, but he earnestly hopes it’s all those who escaped previously, only then can they reduce the number of incoming enemies before the major battle.

Compared to Qi Chen who doesn’t know specific intelligence, Dou Yanlan knows the specifics of the discovered enemies in the valley, just seeing that intelligence, not only her but others also doubted whether it’s a trap.

Because in terms of strength, those enemies they fought back then were clearly stronger than them, and being people of the army, if they intended to hide truly, there’s no way they could be discovered so easily, let alone set up camp collectively in a valley.

But... such an obvious trap, are they treating them like fools?

No, impossible, a proper army surely has people analyzing intelligence and arranging tactics, even a strike team doesn’t lack such personnel, or else losing contact with the rear could result in a slaughter.

Then, what exactly are they planning?

"I think we should stay put, this obvious trap..."

"You also say it’s an obvious trap, maybe it’s a decoy strategy deliberately making us think it’s a trap and not dare to move, don’t forget they’ve stolen so many Divine Artifacts, they’ll undoubtedly use them against us."

"Then it’s not necessarily an attack on us either, after all, we’re just a regular small city, why would they go to great lengths, if the attack is on Kui Shan Town, there are people helping to guard over there, right?"

"That’s hard to say, besides, what if next time they launch a direct assault on the city center?"

In an instant, no one could persuade anyone, Dou Yanlan remained silent, she pondered for a long time and finally made up her mind to look at everyone.

"I think we should act against those people now, they probably don’t know our trump card, and in the subsequent battles, we won’t be able to contribute much, acting now may be the last chance when we can optimize our contribution."

She wasn’t afraid of others’ disagreement, after all, those who could walk this path, if they couldn’t even have a clear understanding of themselves, they would have been stopped at the outset.

"Trump card? Is it your special means? If that’s the case, we have some chance of winning, though after this clash, facing similar foes again will be difficult."

"If we can act like before, I see it worth trying, though there’s an inherent risk of failure, but that’s enough, seeking complete assurance in everything is impossible anyway."

As others thought about Dou Yanlan’s words, they felt this was indeed a good option, they could deduce that in upcoming battles, they’d struggle to join; if there’s any trump card, using it now is a good choice.

Moreover, removing that team has benefits, at least they won’t threaten Maomu City.

"Then let’s take action."

Seeing consensus reached among them, Dou Yanlan spoke.

"Space sealing indeed became the biggest constraint, without space sealing, they couldn’t take advantage when we didn’t notice to steal those Divine Artifacts. However...given the scale of their operations now, if not for space sealing, all the cities couldn’t hold."

Looking at the intelligence sent by Qiu Hanmo, Yang Hongzhi murmured, Najia sitting on Yang Hongzhi’s shoulder softly asked.

"Then what do we do next? Lift the space sealing or continue like this?"

"Han Mo says preferably maintain the space sealing if possible, also don’t let down vigilance, besides the Netherworld, other Domains might be used for passage, but their speed will definitely be slower than us."

Yang Hongzhi laughed as he spoke, although he couldn’t analyze much from those intelligence, Qiu Hanmo is different, relying on those intelligence Qiu Hanmo could discern many things.

Unfortunately, the entire Red Fire Team wasn’t involved in this action, they were just guarding within Maomu City, they weren’t afraid of danger, but Qiu Hanmo said even if they didn’t join the battle, it wouldn’t affect anything.

In essence, it’s true, the Red Fire Team’s strength wasn’t significant across the defensive line, Qiu Hanmo let them stay because besides Najia needing to maintain space sealing, he intended to protect the city center of Maomu City.

Because even though most of Najia’s strength was used for space sealing, if the enemy broke through the defense line, Najia could help hold them off, buying time for ordinary people to evacuate.

In certain situations, Najia isn’t unable to lift the space sealing and fully confront the enemy.

Even facing such forces attacking Kui Shan Town previously, Najia could buy evacuation time before them.

"We can’t seal the Netherworld, and the space sealing might not stop them."

Shaking his head slightly, Najia thought of those stolen Divine Artifacts and said somewhat helplessly.
