After analyzing, Li Jiayi felt his head had gone haywire, only thinking of stopping the two strongest.
Now, it seemed the two Iron-Blooded Warriors were the ones who truly needed to be stopped, otherwise, the move of directly recalling items into their inventory was unsolvable.
Hamir suddenly said, "Let me add something."
Bai Ye asked, "Hmm?"
Hamir said, "I can forgo obscuring vision and forcibly neutralize one of them, but it can only be the woman."
Li Jiayi asked, "What do you mean?"
Hamir said, "Vampire's Kiss. You can understand its effect as charm. For three minutes, that woman will be trapped in her own world of fantasy."
Li Jiayi's eyes lit up. "Three minutes is enough to kill her seventeen or eighteen times."
"Are you dreaming?" Hamir shot Li Jiayi a look. "Wouldn't that make me invincible?"
Li Jiayi froze again. That's right, with such an ability, wouldn't he be able to kill gods and demons alike?
Hamir didn't want to expose his ability too much, so he vaguely explained, "It can probably only be used on females, and after charming them, when they enter their own mental world, any attack is ineffective. There's also a slight side effect: after three minutes, the target's mental attributes will be temporarily boosted by 25%."
Li Jiayi scoffed, "Then what's the point?"
"You're the one with no point," Bai Ye retorted. "He locks down one, freeing himself up to tie down another. He can hold off two, isn't that better than you?"
Li Jiayi was about to argue, but the words caught in his throat. He suddenly realized Bai Ye's statement made a lot of sense.
Hamir could hold off two.
Bai Ye would be responsible for destroying the Sky-Eye Wave-Sense tactical vehicle.
Was he really the most useless?
This was illogical!
Bai Ye decisively said, "Hamir, neutralize Bai Lu, then tie down one more Iron-Blooded Warrior. You then open your domain and pull in another!"
Li Jiayi asked, "You're going for Situ Chicheng again? Can you handle it?"
" Has he ever beaten me?" Bai Ye scoffed, then continued, "Situ Chicheng can hardly use technological products. If Bai Lu is neutralized, and you pull someone into your domain space, they can't retrieve their items. That leaves only one, depending on luck."
Bai Ye said this while patting Li Jiayi's shoulder.
"Actually, there's a 50% chance it's just the two Iron-Blooded Warriors. So, it mainly depends on your luck, whether you can pull the one with the tactical vehicle into your domain."
"If you guess right, you'll complete your mission. If you guess wrong, you'll be the sinner."
Li Jiayi sneered, "So I never get any good deals? Am I always taking the blame, or on the way to taking the blame?"
"Enough talk," Hamir said at this moment, glancing at the glowing screen. "They're charging."
It had been about an hour since Bai Ye summoned the demon army. Situ Chicheng and the other three finally realized something was off; the duration seemed too long.
Thus, Situ Chicheng, having figured things out, decisively ordered a charge to break out of the area.
This was a drawback of the Myriad Demons Marching formation: the summoned demon army could not leave the summoning area.
In fact, the Demon Summoning Banner had two effects, both involving summoning monsters.
The first effect, Summon Demon, allowed summoned monsters to assist Bai Ye in combat and follow him.
The second effect, Myriad Demons Marching, summoned stronger and more numerous monsters. They wouldn't even disappear unless killed, but they could only move within the area they were summoned.
It wasn't clear which was better; it depended on the situation.
From the current perspective, with Situ Chicheng and his group changing tactics and starting to charge, the Myriad Demons Marching formation probably wouldn't hold them. With the strength of Situ Chicheng and the other three, breaking through a gap wasn't difficult.
Li Jiayi said, "Let's do as we discussed. Let's go, prepare to move."
Time was pressing, and a brief discussion couldn't yield any better strategies, so Li Jiayi was decisive.
Bai Ye waved his hand. "You two go first, I'll enter the fray directly."
Li Jiayi nodded, handing Hamir a talisman. "Stick this on you. It can eliminate your scent. I don't know if they have any tracking methods like that, but it's better to be safe!"
Hamir nodded, took the talisman, and stuck it to his chest before leaving the container with Li Jiayi.
After they left, Bai Ye looked at the projection on the blood-red screen.
At times like this, one had to marvel at the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Li Jiayi and Hamir had to sneak around, while Bai Ye could simply transform into lightning and enter the battlefield.
This showed that the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit wasn't solely in combat offense and defense but also encompassed many other aspects.
...
About fifteen minutes later.
Situ Chicheng and the other three finally broke out of the demon army's coverage area.
Looking back, the demon army was ferocious, still baring its fangs and claws at them, but it did not leave the designated area.
"So it's a continuous area-of-effect attack," one of the Iron-Blooded Warriors said, taking a deep breath. "We should have just charged out directly. Maybe we could have held those few people."
"It's fine," Bai Lu said. "They can't escape. We'll use the old method."
Situ Chicheng said, "Let's hurry. In another half hour, the Wish Mission will have only two days left. At our current pace, we might not be able to complete it."
Bai Lu frowned. "Or, should we change targets? The Vampire Prince's super-regeneration is too strong. We should have succeeded after surviving the night, but after this trouble, his injuries should have fully recovered."
Another Iron-Blooded Warrior cursed. "If it weren't for that idiot Lin Bei, who ran off to feed himself to the enemy, using his lightning to paralyze the target and weaken its speed, we wouldn't be in such a predicament?"
Situ Chicheng said, "There's no point in talking about it now. Let's find them first."
With Situ Chicheng's command, the others stopped talking.
An Iron-Blooded Warrior summoned a vehicle from his inventory.
If Bai Ye were here, he would undoubtedly exclaim: Jinbei is eternal, and vans last forever.
That Sky-Eye Wave-Sense tactical vehicle turned out to be a minivan, a classic Jinbei model.
However, after the Iron-Blooded Warrior pressed a button on a remote control, the roof slowly opened, and two signal receivers rose.
At the same time, the trunk opened to reveal a very high-tech metal cabinet. The cabinet sprang open, revealing tiered drawers, each containing a fingernail-sized micro-robot.
As the Iron-Blooded Warrior manipulated the remote control, the micro-robots all flew out in a dense swarm, like a bee colony.
Upon receiving the next command, the micro-robots instantly dispersed, heading to various parts of the city.
