When Alan Smith heard Liu Yan’s words, he agreed with him.

“That’s right. This small gain is not enough. Although we can retreat safely now, we did not change the situation. After we return, the other teams are still coming after us, and we will be doomed,” Alan Smith said helplessly.

The current situation was extremely awkward.

They were all powerful geniuses amongst geniuses. Their combat strength was over the top.

However, the opponents had worked together and had many men. Liu Yan’s squad had no chance to make a move.

If they were to retreat, it would be tantamount to a slow death, and they would be in a dilemma.

“Then what should we do? We cannot just wait here.” Murong Xue said somewhat anxiously.

Liu Yan frowned slightly. He could not think of a good idea at the moment.

They definitely could not retreat.

But if they did not retreat, they would not have a good opportunity to make a move at the moment.

They would be in trouble if they waited until daybreak and the reinforcements. At that time, they could not retreat even if they wanted to.

After thinking about it, it seemed that they could only find an opportunity to make a move now.

Liu Yan thought for a while and said helplessly, “It seems that we can only take the risk to attack again. When the time comes, we will split into two groups. I will attack in one direction to attract their attention and mess up their formation. When the time comes, you guys will find an opportunity to make a move on the other side.”

Liu Yan thought about it for a while, but this was the only way.

Although it was a little risky, there was still a certain degree of feasibility.

After all, Liu Yan had two powerful stealth skills and a movement skill like Sonic Speed. Liu Yan could escape He Yang’s team encirclement if he wanted to.

Once the opponent’s formation was messed up, Murong Xue, Xu Han, and the others naturally had the opportunity to make a move.

Xu Han, Murong Xue, and the others looked at each other when they heard Liu Yan’s plan. They understood what Liu Yan’s plan was.

In general, the danger was all on Liu Yan alone.

Chu Long immediately said reluctantly, “No. It’s too dangerous for you alone.”

Murong Xue even said, “Why don’t I distract them? My defense is strong anyway. Liu Yan, you’re the leader. You can’t fall here.”

Xu Han said helplessly, “Murong Xue, your defense is not bad, but your mobility is not good. Liu Yan could do it.”

Hearing Xu Han, Murong Xue’s face stiffened, not knowing what to say.

She knew Xu Han was right. Liu Yan’s strength was the strongest, and he also had terrifying speed.

Liu Yan was undoubtedly the most qualified one to carry out this dangerous mission.

However, Liu Yan was the captain of the entire team, so they were just a little worried.

However, the voice of the Will of Tower suddenly sounded.

“The captain of the Pan-ocean Community team, He Yang, has chosen to launch a gambling duel against the Land of Origin team. The Land of Origin team can choose to accept or reject it!”

“The rules of the gambling duel are one-on-one battles. Both parties will set their own spoils of war as the stakes!”

“Once the gambling duel begins, there can be no more ruleless battle, and no one will be eliminated. The gambling duel can only end after the victor has been determined.”

Liu Yan and the rest were a little surprised when they heard the voice of the Will of the Tower. They did not expect He Yang to initiate a gambling duel at this juncture.

“Strange. They can definitely wait until dawn. Once the reinforcements arrive, they will definitely win. Why did they choose the gambling duel?” Murong Xue asked somewhat doubtfully.

Liu Yan guessed He Yang’s intention. He smiled coldly and said, “Isn’t this simple? Once the reinforcements arrive, they will have to split the spoils equally. If they win the gambling duel, they can take all our spoils of war.”

“Then do they have the confidence to win? We just fought not long ago. They are no match for us in a one-on-one fight.” Chu Long also asked with some doubt.

Xu Han smiled and said helplessly, “Don’t forget that guardian beasts can also fight. The Pan-ocean Community team will send their guardian beast to fight us. We can also send our guardian beast to fight, but Undying Fire Phoenix is not here now. According to the rules, as long as we accept the duel, both sides will agree to the bet, and we will immediately fight. It means that we can only fight on our own against the powerful Sturdy Back Ape.”

After listening to him, Murong Xue finally understood the situation and He Yang’s sinister thoughts.

“This He Yang is really cunning. He actually wants us to fight that Sturdy Back Ape one-on-one. We will not accept this.” Murong Xue angrily said.

Chu Long also nodded slightly, “Sturdy Back Ape is indeed powerful. We have no chance of fighting it one-on-one. It is better not to accept it.”

However, Xu Han frowned and looked at Liu Yan.

Murong Xue and Alan Smith were defeated by Sturdy Back Ape.

Xu Han also knew that with his own strength, he could not defeat Sturdy Back Ape one-on-one.

However, there was still one person who had a chance, and that person was Liu Yan.

Xu Han had not witnessed Liu Yan’s combat strength with his own eyes. But from Liu Yan’s astonishing performance on the fourth level of the Tower, Xu Han guessed that Liu Yan’s strength was formidable. Liu Yan might have a chance to defeat that powerful Sturdy Back Ape one-on-one.

“Captain Liu Yan, what do you think? Are you confident in dealing with Sturdy Back Ape?” Xu Han asked curiously.

Murong Xue and Chu Long immediately looked at Liu Yan when they heard this.

Liu Yan had indeed never made a move before. Perhaps he really did have a chance.

Allen Smith also stared at Liu Yan.

Allen Smith was proud and arrogant. After the fight with Sturdy Back Ape, Allen Smith knew he could not defeat it himself. He did not know if Liu Yan could do it.

Facing their gazes, Liu Yan thought for a while and felt he still had a great chance.

Sturdy Back Ape was a level 60 fierce beast with an SS-grade talent.

Previously, in the top hunting ground of the Lighthouse Academy on the third level of the Tower, Liu Yan had defeated a level 40 Earth Dragon with a talent level of SS-grade.

With the same talent, they were SS-grade. There was a difference of 20 levels, even though there would be an earth-shaking change in strength.

However, Liu Yan did not use his full strength at that time. Moreover, during this period of time, Liu Yan’s strength had also increased significantly. Hence, he was confident.

If Liu Yan used all his trump cards, he believed he still had a chance to defeat Sturdy Back Ape.

Moreover, this was also the only choice at the moment.

If Liu Yan refused the gambling duel, he could only continue to engage in free combat. Then, it would be disadvantageous to him and the others.

Now that the members of the Pan-ocean Community were moving together, Liu Yan’s team would have a hard time defeating them.

If they acted rashly according to the previous method, they would also be taking a huge risk.

And if they waited until dawn, they would be doomed.

After thinking about it, it seemed that the only choice was to accept the gambling duel.

Liu Yan looked at his members and nodded slightly. “I am certain that I can give it a try. We accept the duel. I will go up and give it a try.”
