A Hill Tiger race said to the figures beside them with slightly red eyes.
“Exactly. Our primary objective is to stop the Mandrill race from achieving Overlord status. Our secondary goal is to assimilate those human soldiers and use them as a basis to fully ascend to the rank of Overlords.”
“When the time comes, Father will reward us with better technology!”
The few of them had burning gazes, as though they could already see them becoming one of the Overlords and obtain countless rewards.
The leaders of these foreign races were all members of the Thousand Hands race. As for the foreign races attacking Mandrill City, their origins as part of the Thousand Hands race didn’t matter.
Nonetheless, they failed to recognize that, from time to time, some human soldiers would discreetly extract information from certain foreign races.
For example, the Hill Tiger race and the White Spirit race had a feud to begin with. But now, the two races were forced to cooperate.
The leaders of the foreign races gathered, which vaguely revealed something.
Not far from Mandrill City, two figures slowly advanced in the direction of Mandrill City with a group of soldiers.
“Until now, there are no traces of the Thousand Heads race.’
Yan Zhen had a helpless expression. He had led his soldiers to search the vicinity for a long time. Although he had also found some bases of the
Thousand Heads race, they were empty. There was no one from the Thousand
Heads race at all.
“It’s not that easy to find the Thousand Heads race.”
Dong Hao shook his head slightly. After parting ways with Xu Ding, they eventually met up with Yan Zhen. The two of them had been scouring what was referred to as a desert in search of any signs of the Thousand Hands race. Regrettably, they had not discovered any traces of the Thousand Hands race yet.
As for the two of them, they had gathered in the direction of the Mandrill race because they had received the people sent by Xu Ding.
As for the reason, he did not elaborate. He only said that there was going to be a big show at Mandrill City.
Howl!
Suddenly, the Nine Howling Wolf under Dong Hao let out a low growl. Then, it stared ahead nervously as if it was warning him.
“That is…”
Yan Zhen and Dong Hao’s expressions were solemn. They saw dozens of figures flying over from afar.
“Transcendents! They’re all Transcendents!”
Yan Zhen’s pupils constricted slightly, and a vigilant expression appeared on his face.
Dong Hao also waved his hand at the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry behind him, indicating for them to hide.
“It should be around here, right?”
“That’s right, this was where Lord Kui Xing mentioned!”
The few Mandrill Guards looked around as if they were confirming something. Then, they stopped and landed on the ground.
“They’re from the Mandrill race, right? What are they doing?”
Yan Zhen’s expression was stern as he looked at the Mandrill race descending from the sky. The Mandrill race members were covered in black armor, only revealing a pair of light red and green eyes. Apart from them, there were also a few Mandrill race members carrying a cylinder-like item on their shoulders.
“I don’t know, but they are the Mandrill Guards!”
Dong Hao explained to Yan Zhen when he saw this scene.
He had once observed the battle between the Mandrill Guards and the Phantom Horn race because of Xu Ding, so he knew what the Mandrill Guards looked like.
“Should we take them down?”
Yan Zhen asked Dong Hao thoughtfully.
There were only about 30 Mandrill Guards. Although they were all Transcendent, there were not many of them.
With the ability of the Red Lotus soldiers, they could restrain them.
Furthermore, Dong Hao had 10,000 Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry with him.
Although the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry hadn’t reached the Transcendent level, when they merged with the Nine Howling Wolves, they were almost at the Transcendent level, not to mention that they were supported by the army.
If even a combined force of 50,000 Red Lotus soldiers and 10,000 Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry couldn’t handle around 30 Mandrill Guards, it would be clear that they were not suited to be military leaders.
“Wait a minute. Let’s see what they are planning to do.”
Dong Hao was not in a hurry. Instead, he led Yan Zhen and observed the Mandrill Guards.
Dong Hao was especially curious about the special item carried by the Mandrill Guards.
“Since this is the place, let’s begin!”
The few Mandrill Guards finally decided on a location and began to mobilize the bloodline power in their bodies.
An aura exuded from their bodies. In front of them, the entire ground began to float as if it was attracted by some force.
The ground rippled like water, and waves began to appear.
Shortly after, the transformations on the ground came to a halt, revealing a profound pit. Its width was approximately equivalent to that of three humans standing abreast. Surrounding the deep pit were enigmatic patterns that crisscrossed and intertwined to create a peculiar design.
“Mountain Ghost Pillar, descend!”
A few Mandrill Guards stabbed the huge pillar on their shoulders into the deep pit.
Whoosh!
An invisible wave of air dissipated in the surroundings like a breeze. There was not much of a phenomenon.
“Is this a spiritual formation?”
“Mountain Ghost Pillar?”
Dong Hao and Yan Zhen looked at each other and did not plan to hide anymore.
“Take them down!”
Dong Hao nodded at Yan Zhen. The latter led 50,000 Red Lotus soldiers and surrounded the Mandrill Guards.
“Humans!”
Seeing the sudden appearance of the humans, a trace of surprise flashed across the Mandrill Guards’ eyes, and their expressions changed.
“Red Prison Array!”
A faint red lotus appeared above all the soldiers again. The lotus leaves swayed slightly as if they were delighted to see him.
“We can’t let them destroy the Mountain Ghost Pillar!” “Defend to the death! Wait for the other Mandrill Guards!”
“Power of the Mountain God, Earth Protection!”
A few Mandrill Guards immediately mobilized the Mandrill bloodline in their bodies and condensed the power of their bloodline. A small mountain appeared in front of them, firmly guarding the Mountain Ghost Pillar.
“Yan Zhen, end the battle quickly!”
Dong Hao could tell what the Mandrill Guards were thinking and shouted at Yan Zhen.
These Mandrill Guards were stalling for time. In other words, there must be other Mandrill Guards nearby.
If the number of Mandrill Guards increased, they would not be easy to deal with.
“Got it!”
Yan Zhen’s expression turned grave. He observed that the Mandrill Guards displayed no inclination to attack and had even released their grips entirely. A sense of foreboding settled in his heart.
“Howling Moon Array, fuse!”
Dong Hao’s Nine Howling Wolf instantly fused with him.
His limbs instantly expanded, and his wolf claws extended.
A faint blue appeared on his chest and hair. It was the same as the Nine Howling Wolf’s fur.
“Die!”
Dong Hao roared and the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry which had also transformed into werewolves behind him pounced at the Mandrill Guards.
Slash!
Slash!
Sounds resonated one after the other, and the shadow in front of the Mandrill Guards began to exhibit signs of fragmentation.
The Red Prison Array suppressed them with the intent of suppression. Dong Hao led the werewolves and attacked the barrier formed by the Mandrill Guards.
Crack!
The 10,000 werewolves attacked continuously. The Mandrill Guards could not last long at all. The barrier shattered, and a few soldiers pounced on them.
Swish!
In a brief time, over 30 Mandrill Guards fell victim to the Nine Howling Wolf Cavalry. Numerous claw marks marred their black armor as if they had been disgraced in their final moments. They were powerless to resist.
“They died just like that?”
Dong Hao’s expression was solemn as he looked at the Mountain Ghost Pillar that was inserted into the deep pit.
“Dig it out and take it away!”
Yan Zhen thought for a moment and immediately decided to dig it out.
He had hoped to gain control over the Mandrill Guards, but he never had a chance. After all, they were steadfastly defending themselves. Dong Hao had even shown restraint towards the few Mandrill Guards earlier, but they remained unresponsive. “Alright, take it away!”
Dong Hao nodded.
This thing called the Mountain Ghost Pillar was something that the Mandrill Guards would rather die than leak. It seemed that it was very important. No matter what effect it had, he should just take it away.
At that moment, the two of them led the soldiers to dig out the Mountain Ghost Pillar. A huge pit was left on the ground. As for the strange spiritual formation-like patterns, they were erased by Dong Hao.
“Let’s go! There should be other Mandrill Guards nearby!”
Dong Hao said to Yan Zhen. The two of them left quickly with the soldiers. Before they left, Yan Zhen took out a spatial bag and put away the corpses of more than 30 Mandrill Guards.
There was only a deep pit on the ground and traces of battle.
Not far away, another team of Mandrill Guards had received a distress message and were rushing over.
However, when they arrived, they only saw a deep pit.
“This is bad. We lost the Mountain Ghost Pillar!”
The Mandrill Guards’ expressions changed as they looked at the deep pit in front of them..
