Chapter 1918 The Loss of the Ancient Towers

The beastman settlement on Thunder Island.

At this moment, Nine Dragons Emperor was leading his team to clear out the savage beastmen on the outskirts of the settlement.

Compared to the beastmen on the ancient towers, the number of beastmen in the settlement was very large, totaling over two thousand. Each one was clad in armor, holding spears and bows, stationed in front of fences made of stone and wood. The entire periphery of the settlement had dozens of towering watchtowers, with large crossbows mounted on them.

It felt less like raiding a monster's lair and more like attacking a heavily guarded beastman base.

Moreover, these savage beastmen were all above Level 55, with even the weakest being a Leader rank. The beastmen resting in the center were even more terrifying, being Level 60 Specialized High Lord ranks, forcing even experts like Nine Dragons Emperor and his team to act cautiously.

Just as Nine Dragons Emperor was directing his team to attack the watchtowers, a shout suddenly came through the team chat.

"Guild Leader, something bad has happened! Someone suddenly came to attack the ancient tower we're guarding. We need reinforcements here!"

"An attack? Who is attacking you, and how many are there?" Nine Dragons Emperor's expression immediately darkened. He said furiously, "Didn't the scouts report this to you earlier?"

To ensure the safety of the three ancient towers, he had sent more than a dozen people outside to scout the movements around the ancient towers.

Now that the ancient tower with the fewest people was under attack, he wished he could crack open the observers' heads to see what they were thinking.

"Guild Leader, these people suddenly appeared next to the ancient tower. The leader is Ye Feng. There are too many of them, and we can't hold on much longer."

"Ye Feng? How is that possible? Aren't they at the Forest Ancient Tower?"

Nine Dragons Emperor was incredulous upon hearing the report, but when he saw the transmitted live feed, he had no choice but to believe it. He could already see Shi Feng rushing straight up.

Just as Nine Dragons Emperor was about to say something, Shi Feng appeared in front of the Ranger who was reporting the situation. The twin swords in his hand easily slashed across the Ranger's neck. Although the Ranger took out his daggers to block at close range, he still couldn't stop Shi Feng's sword light, which was so fast it had reached its peak. A series of sword strikes instantly turned the live feed gray, eventually plunging into darkness.

Clearly, the Ranger reporting the situation had been killed by Shi Feng…

"Why is Ye Feng there?" Nine Dragons Emperor looked at the dark screen, his mind full of questions.

He had just sent Long Wu to lead people to encircle Shi Feng not long ago, and now Shi Feng had appeared at the Cliff Ancient Tower, which was more than ten minutes away. It was simply unbelievable.

However, Nine Dragons Emperor quickly realized something and immediately contacted Long Wu, urgently ordering, "Long Wu, immediately turn around and go to the ancient tower on the cliff!"

"What are we going there for? Aren't we going to encircle Ye Feng and the others?" Long Wu asked strangely.

"Don't worry about so much, just go quickly! Ye Feng is leading people to attack the tower there. If you don't hurry, the people there won't be able to hold on!" At this moment, Nine Dragons Emperor's heart was filled with urgency, anger, and even more unease.

After all, there were only 25 people guarding that ancient tower. It would only take fifty or sixty people to take it down.

"Yes." Long Wu saw the panicked Nine Dragons Emperor and realized the seriousness of the situation. He immediately ordered everyone to turn toward the Cliff Ancient Tower.

However, before Long Wu could run a few steps, the ancient tower's buff effects on everyone suddenly disappeared by one layer, leaving only two layers of buff effects.

Nine Dragons Emperor's face was also indescribably ugly. The last glimmer of hope he had held was completely extinguished.

Nine Dragons Emperor didn't know that the 25 people guarding the tower had instantly seen their numbers plummet to less than ten under Shi Feng's Flame Domain.

Less than ten people facing a hundred people, a tenfold difference, even with the ancient tower's 30% increase in basic attributes and 30% damage reduction, was just a pipe dream. Not to mention that Shi Feng was originally a Tier 2 class player. Even if these people's basic attributes were improved, they were far from matching the attribute gap between Tier 2 and Tier 1 classes.

"Ye Feng!" Nine Dragons Emperor roared through gritted teeth as he thought of the last scene in the live video.

He knew Feng Qianyu's methods. Now that Shi Feng and the others had suddenly appeared at the Cliff Ancient Tower, there was only one possibility, and that was that it was Shi Feng's doing.

Without the ancient tower's three layers of buff effects, it would be very difficult to attack the beastman settlement, or rather, it would be impossible to conquer it. After all, in the center of the settlement, in addition to a specialized High Lord, there were also four High Lords guarding the area. Without the three layers of defense and magic resistance reduction, they simply couldn't contend with their current attributes.

"Everyone, listen up! Except for the members guarding the ancient tower, everyone else will gather with me at the Cliff Ancient Tower!" Nine Dragons Emperor took a deep breath, his eyes indescribably cold. "Long Wu, you inform the people of the Miracle Guild and have them go together as well. I don't believe this Ye Feng can turn the world upside down!"

Although the ancient tower was lost, he still held an absolute advantage in numbers. Even if the number of people defending the ancient tower exceeded a hundred, he could still conquer it.

On the other side, Feng Qianyu, who was still trying to hold back the members of Nine Dragons Emperor's team, suddenly noticed that an additional layer of the ancient tower's buff effects had appeared in her system status bar. She was immediately stunned.

"No way, he actually succeeded!" Feng Qianyu looked at the buff status, unable to believe it was true. But the information she received immediately calmed her down from her ecstatic state. She quickly said to Shi Feng, "Ye Feng, Nine Dragons Emperor is furious. He is now gathering his forces to rush towards you. Adding in the people from the Miracle Guild, the total number is estimated to be over 400. You can't defend that place. Retreat quickly."

Although she was delighted by Shi Feng's results, the gap in strength between the two sides still had to be acknowledged. These small actions were meaningless.

"It doesn't matter, let them come. As long as they can take it down." Shi Feng looked at the information sent by Feng Qianyu and smiled faintly. "By the way, you should also prepare over there."

If it were outside Thunder Island, he might feel a bit overwhelmed, but this was Thunder Island. It wasn't a place where you could win simply by relying on numerical superiority.

"Prepare? Can we help in any way?" Feng Qianyu asked strangely.

"Helping isn't necessary. You just need to take down the ancient tower on your side." Shi Feng said calmly.

"This…" Feng Qianyu was a little embarrassed.

There were 42 people guarding the tower on her side, and it was even guarded by Dragon Blood. Although she had 80 people, before they could take down the ancient tower, Nine Dragons Emperor's reinforcements would probably have already arrived.

"Don't worry, I'll help you." Shi Feng said.

"Help us?" Feng Qianyu was stunned. She thought she had misheard. Shi Feng was already having a hard time protecting himself, so how could he help her?

It felt like Shi Feng was talking nonsense, but everything Shi Feng had said before had come true.

"When I say attack, just attack with all your might. Leave the rest to me." Shi Feng instructed, "I still need some preparations here. Try to lure the people inside the ancient tower out first."

"…" Feng Qianyu was completely speechless at Shi Feng's plan. This straightforward and simple plan was simply beyond words, but Shi Feng's words and eyes were so matter-of-fact. She didn't plan to ask anything else. "I understand. I'll have people lure them out."

Time passed little by little. Nine Dragons Emperor led more than 400 people and rushed madly toward the ancient tower where Shi Feng was located, while Shi Feng was calmly resting.

Seeing that the cooldown time of the Flame Domain was over, Shi Feng immediately said to Feng Qianyu, "Move out!"

Feng Qianyu didn't think any further and directly led 80 people to charge up the ancient tower where Dragon Blood was located.

"Feng Qianyu, you're courting death!" Dragon Blood looked at Feng Qianyu and the others who were charging up. While organizing the people to fight, he reported the situation to Nine Dragons Emperor.

However, just as Dragon Blood was reporting the situation to Nine Dragons Emperor, a figure suddenly appeared in the sky. It was Shi Feng, who had used the Void Ring's first skill, Spatial Move.

Before anyone could react, Shi Feng used the Flame Domain again.

The soaring flames directly burned most of the defenders to death, leaving only a dozen or so who reacted quickly and barely escaped the range of the attack…

And Shi Feng instantly appeared in front of Dragon Blood.

Phantom Kill!

Flame Burst!

The main body and the doppelganger simultaneously used Flame Burst. Even Dragon Blood, who was a skilled player, felt powerless against two Shi Fengs. He used a life-saving skill at the first moment, but each of the thirty sword lights of Flame Burst had tens of thousands of damage.

In just a moment, he was lying at Shi Feng's feet, causing the defenders to be stunned on the spot. The command was in complete chaos, and they were directly killed by Feng Qianyu and the others who charged up.

Nine Dragons Emperor and the others, who were less than ten minutes away from the Cliff Ancient Tower, suddenly discovered that the ancient tower's buff effects on their bodies had decreased by another layer.

"What's going on? What happened?" Nine Dragons Emperor looked blankly at the system bar, which had lost another layer of status, his heart full of confusion.

"Guild Leader, just now, Ye Feng led people and captured the ancient tower guarded by Branch President Dragon Blood…" An observer from outside the island said very carefully.
