Chapter 533 - 356: Wang Yi’s Great Army
’The preparation time is a full thirty minutes. Is it because it’s hard to assemble the three teams on the other side...?’
Wang Yi had his suspicions, but he wasn’t in a hurry and took the time to admire the scenery.
He had arrived in a team battle space called Chaos Canyon and was currently in his camp. In the center of the camp was their Battle Banner, towering over a hundred meters high, enormous and eye-catching.
The camp was located in a valley with one exit, but the exit was currently sealed by a blue barrier of light. This barrier wouldn’t disappear until the battle began, meaning it was impossible to leave the camp.
Besides the Battle Banner, there were other structures in the camp, such as watchtowers and Caltrops. At the rear was a shop where one could purchase temporary equipment that was only effective in the team battle space, but this equipment could only be bought with Game Coins earned within this space.
Behind the camp, there were also two artillery pieces undergoing repairs.
These artillery pieces were defensive structures, currently just for show. They would be fully repaired two hours after the battle started, at which point they would automatically attack enemies.
"This team battle space is very interesting!" Emperor Tathagata said. "The camp has almost no defensive power at the start, but I remember there are quests in the jungle. By jungling, we can get all sorts of defensive items, like watchtower blueprints, machine gun sentries, and barracks blueprints. Using those items would greatly enhance our camp’s defenses. We’re one team against three, so they have us outnumbered. How should we handle this? What if we forget about leveling up and just rush their camp right from the start?"
Mingyu Divine Lord said, "Unwise. We can’t be careless. I think we should have one person defend the flag, one person jungle, and the last one lead the main assault!"
"The Divine Lord is always the most thorough. So, who will defend the flag, who will jungle, and who will push?" Emperor Tathagata asked. "Personally, I enjoy pushing!"
"I’ll defend the flag!" Mingyu Divine Lord volunteered. "I’ll let you two have the spotlight! Tongtian, you’ll jungle. Any problem with that?"
Although Wang Yi didn’t know much about "jungling," he nodded seriously and said, "I’ll do my best. It shouldn’t be a problem!"
"Then it’s settled. We’ll adapt as needed once the battle begins!"
A moment later, accompanied by the system announcement that the battle had begun, the barrier of light outside the camp disappeared, allowing Players to enter and exit.
"Nine Radiance Immortal Array!"
Mingyu Divine Lord immediately cast his ability. He took out a disc and threw it into the sky. The disc grew as it met the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it was floating a hundred zhang high with a diameter also exceeding a hundred zhang. A curtain of light descended from its edge, sealing the entire camp’s valley.
Afterward, Mingyu Divine Lord sat cross-legged beneath the Battle Banner and said, "The array is active. I will hold the fort here. I can stop an army of thousands. You two can act without worry."
Emperor Tathagata nodded and said, "Excellent, excellent. With the Divine Lord defending the flag, it’s completely foolproof. I’m off to push their flag now."
With that, Emperor Tathagata stomped his foot. The ground shook, and a monster resembling a snail suddenly burst from the earth.
Wang Yi looked at the monster and learned its name: [Earth Source Beast], Level 129. It was a special type of Eco-Geist Beast, created by Emperor Tathagata with a single stomp of his foot through some unknown technique.
The next moment, Emperor Tathagata stood on the Earth Source Beast’s back. The beast let out a low moo and swiftly carried him out of the camp.
"I’m going to jungle now, too!"
Wang Yi cupped his hands in a salute to Mingyu Divine Lord and, without wasting any more time, walked out of the camp on his own.
Outside the camp were three paths. Unfamiliar with the terrain, Wang Yi didn’t take any of them. He used his Great Grade Celestial Immortal Divine Techniques, rose up on a cloud, and flew straight into the dense forest.
Soon, Wang Yi discovered a wild mob camp in the dense forest. Three Bear Demons were gathered there. They were all Level 250 Demons, named Brother Xiong, Xiong the Second, and Xiong the Third!
"Well now, the weather’s pretty nice today!"
"Didn’t get enough to eat yesterday!"
"Might as well go to sleep!"
The three Bear Demons even had dialogue, but they were each saying their own thing.
Wang Yi didn’t hold back. With a single thought, the Monkey King flew out from behind him, and the Ten Thousand Celestial Soldiers appeared as the stirring melody of Cloud Palace Rapid Sound immediately rang out.
In an instant, storm clouds gathered in the sky. The Ten Thousand Celestial Soldiers formed ranks, and a hundred thousand bolts of lightning amassed.
"Oof, the weather’s turned nasty!"
"Didn’t get enough to eat the day before yesterday!"
"This is a violation of heaven’s laws!"
The three Bear Demons were still speaking their own separate lines, and then they had no more chances to say anything. Nine Great Saints swung their clubs and smashed them wildly, beating them all to death in less than two breaths’ time.
These three Bear Demons were surprisingly generous, each dropping a Treasure Chest.
Wang Yi stepped forward and opened the first Treasure Chest, which contained 221 Game Coins. He opened the second, which had 198 Game Coins. The third Treasure Chest, however, contained the [Construction Drawings for a Bear Camp].
[Construction Drawings for a Bear Camp: Special Item. Only usable within the Hundred Battle Mountain team battle space. Upon use, immediately constructs one Bear Camp in your camp. The Bear Camp is a special barracks that occupies 4 square meters and automatically trains one Level 99 Bear Demon every 60 seconds. Once trained, the Bear Demon will advance along a random route and launch a relentless attack on the enemy camp. Note: If this item is not used, it will disappear immediately upon leaving the team battle space.]
Wang Yi finished reading the Bear Camp’s Attribute Information and found it quite interesting. He used the item immediately, and a small thatched hut instantly appeared in a corner at the edge of his camp.
That thatched hut was the Bear Camp. Despite its unassuming appearance, its function was anything but weak. The moment it was built, a Bear Demon Warrior carrying a Wolf Fang Club was spawned.
