Chapter 968: Chapter 625: Steel Knight (Part 2)

[Could it be... the other side has a spy among us?]

The Luminous Stoneman was stunned.

The explosion occurred in the area where the enemy’s density was highest and their defenses were weakest.

If any part of the barrier were to break first, it would be the point where the explosion just happened.

Solving this problem was indeed a relief from urgent danger!

[It seems there was a mistake]

The next second, it thought of the most reasonable possibility.

But then, another ball of light flew over.

This time, it was still the same spot.

Only, instead of exploding, it popped with a sound and transformed into an image of a tiny kangaroo made of light.

[Hmm?]

The Luminous Stoneman suddenly realized that as soon as its gaze fell upon this tiny kangaroo of light, it couldn’t look away.

What... what is happening!

It immediately felt a chill.

But it wasn’t the only one having this experience, as all the other summoned creatures, including those in the surrounding area, were the same.

In an instant, the ferocity of the battle greatly reduced.

Because everyone was captivated by this light kangaroo.

Then... they saw it start to dance.

Waving flower-like hands, lowering its body, sticking out its bottom.

Shaking its tail side to side.

The dance was awkward.

Their minds felt excruciating pain!

[Ahhhhhhh!]

[Ow ow ow ow!]

[Roar roar roar!]

[My brain hurts! Even though I don’t have a brain!]

The Luminous Stoneman could barely stand up, hearing cries of pain all around.

It found that not only its side but even those secondary summoned entities were clutching their heads in extreme pain.

But the most alarming thing was, although they were collapsing and genuinely crying from pain, their gaze never left the tiny kangaroo of light, still staring intently!

The more they watched, the more it hurt, and the more it hurt, the more they continued to watch.

[This is a mental attack! Activate the relevant barrier!]

Finally, at this moment, it received a hint from the Summoner, crying out while enduring the pain.

[Damn!]

Yet among the collapsed summoned creatures, there was one green figure still sprightly.

The Scarecrow was the only summoned creature unaffected by mental attacks.

Seizing the opportunity, it started hammering away at the shield.

Apart from it, the distant summoned creatures were providing fire support from the rear.

But the busiest one was Bu Bu, who kept supplying [Dance of Confusion] + [Openly Swallow].

Occasionally, during gaps, it would drop a few [Reckless Punches], accurately hitting the Scarecrow.

In the monitoring room, Liu Jisheng and others showed expressions of excitement.

"Junior, your little kangaroo is too impressive."

"It managed to incapacitate the entire opposing line all on its own, along with 30% of our allies."

His words seemed like a compliment, and they indeed were.

"Basic operations, basic operations."

Li Pu merely waved his hand dismissively.

You haven’t witnessed when it incapacitated 100% of our allies.

Judging from the current situation, they already had victory assured.

Eliminating the Steel Knight and obtaining the model meant no other alliance would likely have the ability to seize it.

Knock knock.

But at this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

"? Come in!"

Liu Jisheng paused slightly.

Everyone’s gaze turned toward the door.

Could it be the referee group with some announcement?

Unexpectedly, when the door opened, a bald man with a beaming smile appeared.

"Shi Gang, why are you here?"

Yu Duoduo immediately recognized him.

It was precisely Shi Gang, the leader of the Steel Knight Adventure Group.

"Well, Yu Duoduo, Liu Jisheng, we’re all familiar faces here."

"Can you spare me this time?"

So Shi Gang was here to plead.

"..."

Li Pu did not want to get involved in such interpersonal matters, especially since he didn’t know this person.

Therefore, he refocused his attention on the screen, aimlessly adjusting the camera angle back and forth.

"Hmm?"

And through this adjustment, he spotted something.

...

High above the battlefield, Scarecrow and the Steel Knights clashed, while a group of bird-type summoned creatures was circling overhead.

Behind these summoned creatures was an alliance of two old and one new.

The leader was the High Soaring Bird Adventure Group.

An adventure group that took a high-altitude combat path, specializing in bird-type summoned creatures.

In a deliberate alliance setup, Gao Xiang, the leader of the High Soaring Bird Adventure Group, found two teams highly compatible with his own to form an alliance.

This alliance included 6 people owning a total of 36 summoned creatures, with 30 being flying type.

Though they suffered greatly in the previous transport competition, they managed to qualify in the last position and advanced to the third round.

Upon hearing the rules of the third round, Gao Xiang knew they were bound for easy progression.

Because such a large open space suitable for flight was absolutely the playground of bird-type summoned creatures.

As of now, they spotted two strong alliances fighting on the ground.

The distinctive Burst Soldier Style and iron-stone type summoned creatures indicated both sides’ identities clearly.

Initially, Gao Xiang’s plan was to wait until both sides were exhausted, then swoop down and capture the model while taking them all out.

However, shortly after the battle commenced, he shockingly discovered that the situation was overwhelmingly one-sided.

The Forever Alone Adventure Group employed some unknown tactic to quickly disable most of the Steel Knight’s forces.

Initially anticipating a desperate counterattack from the Steel Knights, he was surprised to see the battle suddenly ease up.

"Everyone, it’s our turn."

"This opportunity won’t come again."

With resolve, Gao Xiang spoke.

"Received, Captain Gao."

"We’re all following your lead, Captain Gao."

"Understood."

Other alliance members responded and began transmitting telepathy to their summoned creatures.

...

Shi Gang wanted clemency and was willing to offer something in return.

On the other side, Liu Jisheng and Yu Duoduo were still negotiating with Shi Gang.

Though no agreement was reached yet, they at least slowed their offensive for the time being.

Li Pu, meanwhile, continued watching the screen.

"What is that alliance thinking now?"

He saw that the small dots originally circling high in the sky were rapidly enlarging.

After waiting a moment, he finally saw their appearance clearly.

Dozens of bird-type summoned creatures were flapping their wings and flying in this direction.

Judging by the posture, they were clearly heading for the model.

But could they really succeed?

Li Pu held reservations and issued telepathy via the Crystal Ball to the Scarecrow.

It seemed that in a few seconds, the flock of bird-type summoned creatures would enter the Scarecrow’s spell-casting range.

At this time, a group of Shi Gang Alliance creatures was guarding around the model, who were the intended attack targets of the Gao Xiang Alliance.

But due to low morale and being preoccupied with handling Li Pu’s alliance’s aggression, they failed to notice the approaching danger.

Moreover, the number of bird-type creatures posed an alliance-level threat, beyond what their five or six summoned creatures could handle.

On another side, under Li Pu’s orders, the Scarecrow suddenly launched a forceful charge.

Its unexpected exertion plunged Shi Gang Alliance’s formation into chaos.

Meanwhile, the nearing Gao Xiang Alliance was finally discovered.

Caught between two fronts, Shi Gang Alliance’s creatures became increasingly anxious about their drastically shrinking numbers.

However, the Scarecrow they thought of as an enemy stood up at this moment.

A large-scale [Entangle] immobilized the wings of half the diving bird-type summoned creatures.

Being airborne creatures, they had encountered similar air restriction methods before.

Yet when they attempted to struggle upon hitting the ground, they were terrified to find these vines’ strength and tenacity exceeded any previous encounters.

Thus, stripped of most mobility, they soon faced encirclement, on the brink of calamity.

Thump thump thump thump!

Li Pu again heard a knocking at the door.

"Gao Xiang? What brought you here?"

As Liu Jisheng bewilderedly opened the door, a young man with a roosters’ comb hairstyle appeared at the doorway.

...
