"Kill them!"
"Take down those sons of bitches!"
Another area of the stone formation.
A fierce war erupted, with two groups of people locked in a brutal battle.
Enemies cross paths!
After entering the stone formation, the Lone Wolf Mercenary Group and the Tamu Mercenary Group clashed again, leading to a fierce engagement.
Both sides were fighting with bloodshot eyes, and for a time, blood flowed like a river.
"Lord Hasal, the Lone Wolf Mercenary Group has too many men. I'm afraid we can't hold on." Beta said with a grim and anxious face, looking at Cardinal Hasal, who had not yet made a move.
After the death of a deputy commander of the Tamu Mercenary Group in the Shatt ruins last time, Beta was the newly selected deputy commander.
Now, the opposing Wild Wolf Mercenary Group was like mad dogs, fearless of death.
If this continued, the Tamu Mercenary Group might not be able to hold on.
Although the individual combat strength of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group was limited, the key was their sheer numbers.
In contrast, the Tamu Mercenary Group had only sent about two hundred people this time, and after suffering considerable losses, the remaining ones might not be able to withstand the assault.
Therefore, Beta had to request reinforcements from the Church of Light.
"Alas!"
Hasal glanced at Beta, sighed softly, and then said indifferently, "Philip, lead some divine envoys to assist them."
There was no other way. They had only just entered the ruins and hadn't even discovered any treasures yet.
They absolutely could not let the Tamu Mercenary Group be annihilated at this stage.
Although these mercenary members were too weak and were practically cannon fodder in the ruins, it was precisely these cannon fodder that made their operations easier.
Upon hearing this, Philip quickly responded, and then led a dozen divine envoys to charge into the fray.
Boom boom boom…
Good fortune never comes singly, and misfortunes never come alone.
As soon as Philip joined the battle, the sound of explosions erupted all around. Looking around, huge figures were charging towards them.
This…
Philip looked at the six or seven giant stone figures surrounding them, his face turning extremely grim.
They had encountered stone figures in the stone formation before, but the stone figures were scattered and rarely coordinated their attacks.
However, the surrounding stone figures were acting abnormally, as if they had colluded, attacking both sides from the periphery.
And now, with both sides entangled in combat, it was impossible to retreat.
Who could it be!
Philip let out an angry roar in his heart.
…
At the same time, in the surrounding periphery, figures began to emerge from behind the giant rocks.
There were over a dozen of them, including ninjas in Japanese ninja attire and mercenaries in camouflage uniforms.
Watching the blood splatter and the wails echoing across the battlefield, they exchanged knowing smiles, revealing sinister grins.
"It was a pleasure cooperating, Snake Shadow."
"Mr. Ozawa, this is just the beginning. The real excitement is yet to come. We must remain united!"
The two exchanged a few simple words, and the ninja vanished into the mist.
Watching the direction the ninja disappeared, Snake Shadow's smile deepened.
The Rattlesnake Mercenary Group was indeed among the top five in the World Mercenary Alliance.
But in these ruins, they were nothing. They did not have the backing of powerful forces like the Church of Light or the Dark Association, and they treaded on thin ice in the ruins.
So, to preserve their lives and gain more benefits, they could only seek alliances.
First, they ruled out the Dark Association and the Church of Light. Both major forces supported their own mercenary groups, and even if they cooperated, they would only be treated as cannon fodder.
As for China's Dragon Group, they had a good relationship with the Pandora Mercenary Group.
This left them with no choice but to choose the Japanese Ninja Division.
Although the overall strength of the Ninja Division was slightly inferior, their methods were insidious and their techniques were bizarre, making them extremely difficult to deal with. Compared to the other major forces, they were not much different.
And the Ninja Division readily accepted this. They had fewer people and needed an ally to support each other.
Thus, the two parties hit it off and decisively joined forces.
Subsequently, they shared information and began to stir up a storm of blood in the stone forest and stone formation, leading to the scene that had just unfolded.
…
Central area of the stone forest and stone formation.
Ye Cangtian was playing with a few white crystals. He had killed quite a few stone figures along the way.
It was strange that there seemed to be no one else around.
Could it be that no one had come here yet?
Ye Cangtian felt a bit dejected. Ever since he had studied the Zhenxin Tablet, he believed he had some understanding of formations.
So, based on his understanding, he tried to observe the situations of various factions from the shadows and then act opportunistically.
But reality was completely different from his imagination.
Damn it, could it be that I'm the one about to break out of the stone formation?
The stone formation was still in operation, and it was impossible for a large number of people to break out of it under such circumstances.
With almost no one around, judging from this situation, he must be approaching the exit of the stone formation.
Ye Cangtian did not want to leave the stone formation so early.
Although leaving the stone formation might allow him to find treasures first, who knew what dangers he would encounter later!
Bang!
Just then, a loud bang startled Ye Cangtian from his thoughts. He turned his head to look to the side and saw a massive figure in the mist, continuously swinging a giant hammer.
Who is it?
With a flicker of doubt in his heart, Ye Cangtian didn't hesitate and immediately rushed in that direction.
This figure…
It was a woman in silver attire with a slender figure.
The woman's back was to Ye Cangtian as she was engaged in a fierce battle with a stone figure.
It's her…
Ye Cangtian's eyes suddenly lit up. He was extremely familiar with this woman's figure, it was the woman he had seen at the airport in Romen City.
She was traveling on a Chinese aircraft, but Ye Cangtian just couldn't recall her specific identity.
"Xuan Qi, aren't you going to help?"
Just as Ye Cangtian was racking his brain for memories of the woman, a crisp shout suddenly came.
The woman had already noticed his presence and, seeing him wearing the Xuan Qi mask, immediately called for help.
"Xuan Liu?"
As the woman looked at Ye Cangtian, Ye Cangtian also saw the woman's mask. It turned out she was from the Dark Association.
"I don't know you well, why should I help you?"
"Besides, I don't gain anything from defeating a stone figure."
Ye Cangtian suddenly chuckled and did not step forward to help.
In fact, he was contemplating whether to kill the woman and frame someone else.
"You scoundrel! You unprincipled villain!"
"Don't you forget, we are all from the Dark Association, and it is only right that we help each other!"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Xuan Liu almost spat blood. In this dangerous ruin, with various factions hostile to each other, fighting alone was a sure way to die.
And at such a time, the most reliable allies were those from the same faction, yet he was refusing to help, which truly enraged her.
"Heh, you have the presence of mind to argue with me while fighting, and you still need my help?"
"What if I help you, and you stab me in the back?"
"There are traitors everywhere in this era!"
Ye Cangtian remained unmoved. The stone figure the woman was facing was indeed more powerful than the others, and the crystal on its chest was also larger.
But as he said, the woman was fighting and arguing at the same time, clearly hiding her strength.
Ye Cangtian felt it was better to be cautious with such a person, as she might indeed be tricky.
"You, you scoundrel!"
"You just wait. Lord Lanyue and others will arrive here soon, and I will definitely report you to Master!"
Xuan Liu huffed angrily.
Lanyue's people?
Upon hearing this, Ye Cangtian's eyes darted around. He had met two of the Dark Association's three outer Heavenly level experts, Zi Long and Qing Dao, but not Lanyue.
So, he was genuinely curious.
Considering that Lanyue and her group would soon arrive, it would be difficult to justify his inaction if he simply stood by.
"Alas! Women are such trouble."
Ye Cangtian muttered to himself, then his figure flashed, and he joined the battle.
Hmph!
Seeing Ye Cangtian join the battle, Xuan Liu showed no trace of gratitude in her eyes, but rather let out a light scoff.
She was not stupid. Although he had joined the fight, he wasn't helping her but was worried about being reported and having to explain himself to his superiors.
