Chapter 256: Reinforcements Arrive!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Time passed bit by bit.

Soon, a day and a night went by just like that.

Li Yidao and the old man, along with others, waited at the top of the mountain, their eyes remaining vigilant, at least for them now.

many things, many elements, were indeed beyond their current control.

many things, many elements, were indeed beyond their current control.

They could only wait.

However…

Their time was running out.

Even without using Li Yidao’s special ability or skill.

In their visible state, they could already see the fiery transformation below that had begun at this moment.

They were expanding continuously.

Yes!

They had gradually come alive!

Simply put, at this moment, they had already begun to wake up!

In such a waking situation, naturally, danger had gradually drawn near.

If they didn’t act now! Or if they didn’t respond in any way now! Most likely, many times and many things would be far beyond their control!

So, in this situation, Li Yidao had already prepared to act at any moment.

He stood up and glanced at the old man.

Softly he asked, “Shouldn’t we take action now? If they can’t arrive in time…”

“They can. I believe they will come.”

The old man interrupted Li Yidao’s words without waiting for him to finish.

At least, from the current situation, it was almost impossible for the other side to arrive in time.

So… Li Yidao’s current thought was to act directly.

To minimize the danger as much as possible! Or to act in advance to ensure their safety as much as possible.

This choice was not the best, but it was the most helpless one.

However… The old man’s words. They still wanted to continue waiting!

One had to know, when all the opponents were fully awake. Then… What awaited them would be encountering even more dangers!

It’s definitely not that easy!

They wanted to stifle the danger in its infancy and to solve all possible crises.

How could it be that easy!

But…

The old man, until now, was still preparing to stifle all the dangers in their infancy.

This was basically unrealistic and impossible.

At least from the current perspective, they had little hope.

If it were really possible, people from Yun City might have already arrived.

But they hadn’t come yet.

Even if they did, from the current situation, everything might already be too late.

“Master, if we don’t take action, it might… really be too late,” Yang Qingyue’s voice came again after a few more minutes.

At the same time, her gaze carried a hint of shock and gravity!

Her hands had already started moving.

Countless water droplets began to condense in her palms!

She was ready to attack at any moment!

But…

The old man continued to shake his head.

His gaze remained calm as he looked ahead.

Just as the fiery expansion continued right before their eyes, Li Yidao had also stood up, ready to attack at any moment!

The current situation had already exceeded their expectations.

If nothing unexpected happened, for them now, the only option might be to escape!

Just as Li Yidao was about to attack… Suddenly, in the fiery surroundings, numerous smoke began to spread!

Not only that! Whether on the ground or in the sky, countless insects, of various shapes and sizes, surrounded the fiery center from all directions!

Their goal was very clear, to encircle all the fiery elements in the middle! Seeing this scene, Li Yidao stood frozen in place.

And the old man, who had been sitting still, slowly stood up.

“They’re here. Get ready to lend a hand,” the old man said, taking a deep breath at this moment.

And then, with hands behind his back, as if he had no intention of making a move.

But… The actual situation was not so.

The old man had long been prepared to act at any moment!

He knew.

For the people from Yun City, even if they arrived, even if they had enough time to catch up, things were not as simple as they imagined!

Wanting to solve everything and truly stifle all the dangers is not as easy as it seems.

Despite their extensive preparations, they were faced with the challenge of eerie insects, and the question remained whether they were adequately prepared for them or not.

The evolving nature of the situation made it uncertain what kind of danger lay ahead.

As the densely packed black insects collided with the red ones, a tug-of-war ensued, marking the significance of the initial clash.

The boundary between the red and black factions was exceptionally clear.

Observing this unfolding scenario, Li Yidao couldn’t help but take a deep breath, realizing that the battle’s outlook was far from optimistic.

The first collision already carried substantial implications.

The old man, equally aware of the unfolding events, issued a command,

“Qingyue, help them.”

Upon receiving the instruction, Yang Qingyue took a deep breath and stepped forward.

In front of them lay a not-so-big deep pit filled with stream water, a creation of Yun City’s residents the previous day.

They had strategically utilized the surrounding stream’s flow direction and allowed a mountain stream to flow into the pit.

This meticulous preparation served the purpose of aiding Qingyue in the upcoming action.

Positioning herself in front of the stream, Yang Qingyue took a deep breath.

In an instant, the water in the small pit was drawn dry, floating into the sky.

Yang Qingyue directed all the water droplets towards the fiery attack below.

Her strategy involved controlling the attack range, focusing not on the center but a corner of the opponent.

While her attack couldn’t entirely annihilate the opponents, it aimed to cause significant damage to a specific part.

The fact that she could control so many water droplets was already commendable.

Unable to eliminate all opponents, the goal was to eradicate a small faction and provide more breakthrough opportunities for the black insects.

This became the primary focus.

As Yang Qingyue’s attack unfolded, the black insects, originally limited to peripheral attacks, diverted and swiftly infiltrated the interior of the fiery forest area..
