Chu Feng and the others did not know that danger was quietly approaching.
Not long after they left the city, they destroyed several small strongholds.
How delightful!
Although the quality of the spiritual bodies around the Great Emperor City was not very high, and their gains were far inferior to before, to Chu Feng, this was the difference between working for a landlord and working for himself!
Although there had been a lot of spiritual substances previously, it had nothing to do with him.
But now, although there were not many spiritual substances, they were all his!
For this, Chu Feng deliberately fabricated a speech.
To put it nicely, these spiritual substances had been “stored” by the Craftsman God’s Token!
He was only keeping it temporarily!
Of course, these unreliable words could not fool anyone.
However, no one exposed him.
Everyone knew very well the importance of having a divine-grade combat power in the team!
Therefore, every time they cleaned up the battlefield, all kinds of “issues” would suddenly appear among the others.
They either too severely injured to move, or they needed time to recover his strength.
In short, they could not use the armor to absorb spiritual substances.
Chu Feng was left alone in the middle of the battlefield!
Whether it was vitality or spiritual substances, they were not wasted at all!
It couldn’t be helped. The main control system’s sub-system was still on him. This thing had a monitoring effect.
He could not be too blatant.
Even if everyone knew this…
He looked at the divine-grade spiritual plant guard that was frantically devouring spiritual substances in the Craftsman God’s Token.
Chu Feng became even more motivated!
“Soon, soon! I’m only a few thousand points away! Work harder, I just need another hour!”
With the efficiency of Chu Feng and the others sweeping through the Spiritual Army’s strongholds, it might not even take an hour!
However, just as Chu Feng and the others finished resting and were about to set off, suddenly…
Mo Tianji let out a soft gasp.
“Eh… How can this be? So strange…”
Chu Feng turned around.
“What’s wrong?”
Mo Tianji hurriedly said, “According to the divination, the locations of the previous Spiritual Army strongholds seem to have changed. They seem to be closer to each other.”
Yu asked curiously.
“What does this have to do with anything?”
Chu Feng frowned and said in a low voice, “This might mean that these spiritual creatures have already received the orders of those divine-grade spiritual creatures to get close to each other and help each other!”
“If they get closer, it will mean that the speed at which they support each other will greatly increase. Once a certain stronghold is attacked, the Spirit Army will be able to quickly provide support.”
After a pause, Chu Feng said in a deep voice, “But since those divine-grade spiritual bodies have already sensed that someone in our Great Emperor City is hunting them to absorb spiritual substances, why did they only let these spiritual bodies get close to each other and not gather together?”
“Obviously, if these small groups of spiritual bodies directly gather together, we won’t be able to hunt them down at all! Unless… it’s intentional! After we attack a Spiritual Army stronghold, the Spiritual Army from other places will quickly provide support and completely trap the attackers!”
Yu said in a deep voice.
“You mean… bait?”
Mo Tianji said calmly.
“It’s very likely.”
Chu Feng added.
“Because other than us, I’m afraid no one else can find any clues…”
After all, there was no pattern to the distribution of the Spiritual Army’s strongholds.
The other teams were only trying their luck. They could not detect any changes in the location of these strongholds.
They did not have an existence like Mo Tianji who could predict the exact location of the Spiritual Army’s strongholds!
Chu Feng took a deep breath.
“We have to tell this news to the other teams first! Otherwise, once they’re trapped, it’ll be troublesome!”
The others agreed.
However, before Chu Feng could do anything, an urgent cry for help came from the communication system inside the armor!
“Southern City Fifth Division, requesting emergency rescue!”
“My team just raided a small stronghold. There were only three quasi-god spiritual bodies, and we were confident that we could end the battle in fifteen minutes. But for some reason, not long after, there are enemies from all directions!”
“There are dozens of quasi-god spiritual bodies! There are countless other spiritual bodies! Our team is no match for them. We can only occupy a pass and defend it!”
“But as the number of enemies increases, my team might not be able to last long.”
“Position coordinates: 80,000 miles southeast of the Emperor City, in a deep canyon!”
“Requesting the City of the Great Emperor to send reinforcements immediately!”
The distress message was displayed directly on the public communication channel.
Therefore, other than the people from the Great Emperor City, Chu Feng and the others could also see it.
“Southern City’s Fifth Division… Yao Ling’er’s team!”
“Damn it! We’re still too late!”
Mo Tianji said in a deep voice, “It’s not our fault. The enemy moved too quickly! They completed the setup in almost an extremely short period of time. I suspect that they were already prepared!”
“Furthermore… I’m guessing that the enemy’s target is not us ordinary soldiers at all! What’s the point of killing us? It can only weaken the defense of the Emperor’s City, but if they can trap a few divine-grade commanders… That would be impressive!”
“Attack the reinforcements! Just like now!”
“If the soldiers are trapped, the Great Emperor City has no choice but to send reinforcements. Otherwise, if you let the soldiers die, who will work for you? Furthermore, if you don’t save them, when all of us outsiders die, the Great Emperor City will completely lose the source of spiritual substances!”
“This outcome is unacceptable to the Great Emperor City!”
“Now, it depends on how many forces the Great Emperor City will send…”
Before Mo Tianji could finish speaking, he heard news from the Great Emperor City.
[The Fifth and Seventh Commanders have set off with the Exquisite Pagoda! It is estimated that they will arrive in half an hour. Hold on!]
Chu Feng took a deep breath.
“They sent out two divine-grade experts right off the bat? What a big deal! This is already the strongest force they can send while ensuring the safety of the City of the Great Emperor, right?”
“But if this is an enemy trap… Two divine-grade commanders might not be safe!”
At the same time as Yao Ling’er and the others were trapped, before the huge spherical building, the short spiritual body also received the news and smiled faintly.
“Fish, did you bite the hook?”
“There seem to be only two divine-grade spiritual bodies in the Death Canyon. Well… I wonder how many forces the City of the Great Emperor will send. One or two divine-grade commanders?”
“It’s still not safe. In that case… the two divine-grade spiritual bodies lying in ambush in the east should also go over.”
“Four divine-grade spiritual bodies should be enough.”
As he spoke, he glanced at the respectful divine-grade spiritual body behind him and took a deep breath.
“Forget it, forget it. Let’s go together. I don’t believe that the Great Emperor City will mobilize all their forces to save a team!”
“Of course, we’re still some distance away from the Death Canyon. I wonder if we can make it in time…”
