Boom!
When the first loud noise reached Wang Long's ears, he unhesitatingly abandoned his efforts to help the surrounding warriors fend off the Toxic Corpses and flew back.
He knew that if he delayed his retreat even a moment longer, he would be buried in the endless toxic blood!
Now he could only hope that the warriors from Feather City were not too stubborn and could realize something was wrong in time, retreating as much as they could.
The experts among the Fire Mountain City caravans also made the same choice as Wang Long. They had experienced such Anomalies before and still had some impression of their techniques. When they saw the corpses lunging forward, their first thought was of the potential self-detonation!
As for the warriors from Feather City, they were powerless; after all, they did not have the authority to command these fighters. They could only shout loudly to remind those around them that if they were willing to retreat with them, they might still save their lives.
However, these warriors who had survived the last great battle of Feather City were disciplined and fearless!
If there had been a clear-headed commander, this would have been a terrifying force that everyone feared.
But now their commander was lost in the thrill of slaying enemies by the sword, and by the time Lin Jueying realized what was happening, it was already too late!
Boom! Boom! A series of terrifying explosions followed, and green blood mist erupted in mid-air.
This blood mist posed no threat to their Water Elemental Shield, but the powerful shockwaves generated by the self-detonations caused their Water Elemental Power to tremble, leading to continuous ruptures of Water Elemental Shields!
The only fate for these squads was to be completely engulfed by the green blood mist, leaving no trace behind!
"Retreat!" Lin Jueying's reaction speed was not slow; upon noticing something was wrong, he immediately shouted for all warriors to fall back. He quickly channeled Spiritual Essence to raise a wall of earth and stone from the ground, blocking the path of the Toxic Corpses while also pushing back against them. If they continued to charge forward, they would be buried by this terrifying wall!
But it was already too late!
Most of Feather City's combat power had gathered here; although the sky was vast, many people were densely packed in this area.
If they had retreated in an orderly manner according to orders, it would have been better. However, the problem was that they were forced to begin an emergency retreat after suffering significant losses from the enemy's attack!
Chaos erupted instantly.
Behind him, his comrades blocked his escape route; in front of him, those terrifying Toxic Corpses continued to self-detonate. The increasingly thick toxic blood mist enveloped the entire area, and those explosions themselves possessed tremendous power, rendering their Water Elemental Shields as fragile as paper.
The few remaining skilled fighters who still had the ability to protect themselves, along with Mr. Fan and others who had retreated earlier, couldn't help but change their expressions drastically upon witnessing the scene.
If they had not fully grasped the power of the Toxic Corpses during their first encounter in that small village, now, in this confined city environment combined with the astonishing number of Toxic Corpses, their unexpected power was unleashed!
And it was not just that.
Although the warriors of Feather City had suffered great losses, they were only facing the self-detonation of those Toxic Corpses on the front lines. However, once the concentration of that green blood mist reached a certain level, even the Water Elemental Shields had turned green!
Those warriors who had not yet realized this shocking change found themselves being corroded intensely as well!
Chaos!
Complete chaos!
When those warriors at the back, who had initially been able to calmly use the sacrifices of their comrades at the front to buy time for their retreat, discovered that the Water Elemental Shields could no longer withstand the toxic blood, it immediately triggered disorderly chaos, and even Lin Jueying could no longer maintain control.
Moreover—Wang Long's gaze sharpened as he stared at the blood mist in the air—it continued to spread outwards. He feared that even if they managed to kill all these Toxic Corpses in the end, their blood mist would be enough to envelop all of Feather City.
The final result would be that Feather City would turn into a dead city!
What a ruthless scheme!
Wang Long had to acknowledge that the hidden enemy had caused them such heavy losses without even showing their face, and even now that Wang Long had seen the terrifying final outcome, he still had no way to counter it!
Furthermore, they would never allow him to calmly come up with a countermeasure!
"Ah!" In the far back of the city, screams began to emerge. This time, unlike the silent Toxic Corpses, a powerful Primordial Power surged forth, revealing that the attacking enemy was at least an elder-level expert!
"Finally, has the plot been revealed?" Wang Long did not show any signs of surprise; it seemed he was already prepared for this change.
Hua Ruhai noticed Wang Long's calmness and curiously approached him: "Brother Wang Long, did you anticipate there would be an ambush in the city?"
Wang Long replied lightly: "Did you not notice that six people are missing from our ranks this time?"
"Uh." Hua Ruhai didn't even need to turn around; upon hearing Wang Long's reminder, he already knew who the "six people" he referred to were. "They really are the enemy's spies!"
"We were too careless!" It wasn't just Wang Long who had thought of this early on; Mr. Fan sighed heavily, "We all believed that with Feather City's strong power and various defensive measures, even if those six had outside support, they wouldn't be able to overturn the gap in strength. That's why we let them be. But we never expected that something like tonight would happen. Now their strength is indeed enough to change the situation!"
"Mr. Fan, what's the use of saying this now? At least the people of Feather City can still hold on. These Toxic Corpses can cause them great casualties, but they can't defeat them. We should charge straight in; I refuse to believe that with our strength, we can't deal with those six spies!" Li Changge shouted angrily.
"General Li is absolutely right; let's fight them!" Hua Ruhai, at this moment, shed his merchant facade and revealed the bloodiness of a man.
Cai Burin didn't say anything, but the fighting spirit in his eyes was unmistakable.
"Ha ha, very good! Then let's take out all the frustration we've endured from them along the way!"
Everyone was filled with fighting spirit, but a hint of doubt flashed in Wang Long's eyes.
That's right.
Those six had indeed launched their attack as he expected, but was their purpose only this?
