Hang Yu though suspected Wang Junwen had some issues.
But didn't expect, from start to finish, it was a trap.
Though humans are a fickle species, and at any time, in any nation, there will be traitors leading the way, but to seek refuge with an alien race as a human, that truly is an unprecedented act.
Xu Tianhua said angrily, "Have you no bottom line as a human being? What benefits can the Spirit Realm people give you!"
"Skill Stones, equipment, resources, and opportunities; are these reasons enough?" Wang Junwen felt no shame, "If one doesn't do for oneself, heaven destroys and earth obliterates!"
Dark Elf Swordsman, Vampire Mage, and Enchanting Demon Witch floated over.
Xu Tianhua's heart sank: Damn it!
They haven't even fought yet.
Not only is there a reduction in personnel.
But also facing encirclement and rear attack!
The team originally had twenty-two people and a dog.
Three were unfortunate to be assassinated and killed, five defected to the enemy, now only fourteen are left, significantly reducing the team's fighting power.
One side: 14 people + 1 dog
One side: 5 people + 3 Spirit Realm natives.
In this situation.
The strength difference between the two sides is not large.
The Spirit Realm people might even have a slight advantage.
At least that's how it looks on the surface.
After all, these three are at least level 9 Lords!
"Muddy Duke."
Vampire Mage spoke.
He was speaking Chinese, with an even heavier accent than Bai.
Yet, the Vampire didn't mind, "Does it hate the crossbreed duck?"
What the hell.
What's he saying?
Hang Yu couldn't help but frown.
Actually, the few natives have really tried hard, after coming to this world, the first thing they did was ask the Witch Demon to get them preschool phonics textbooks, then they hid away and studied diligently.
The Vampire Mage's Chinese level was already the best among them.
Thankfully, he was a Magic Professional, with high intelligence and Spirit Attribute, with a strong memory, after learning for ten or twenty days, he could at least have basic communication.
The Spirit Realm natives expressed.
After coming to this world.
The greatest difficulty they faced was: learning Chinese!
The Vampire Mage spoke with a deep Spirit Realm accent: "Foolish humans, you have completely lost, besides seeking refuge with us, collaborating with us, there is no other way out."
He was very proud.
Even knew idioms.
The Celestial Net individuals glared angrily.
This Spirit Realm native is too arrogant!
Now in this situation, although the Spirit Realm natives slightly have the upper hand, if it really comes to a fight to the death, who lives and who dies is still uncertain!
"Foolish humans."
"Let me crush your illusion!"
The Vampire Mage raised his Magic Staff, released an energy burst from the tip, covering all directions.
One after another, menacing and vicious ghosts emerged from the relic.
Although they were only around level 6 normal monsters, the number was extremely large, densely packed, as many as two or three hundred, instantly being controlled, surrounding the people from Celestial Net.
Indeed there was still a trap!
Upon seeing this, Hang Yu also slightly frowned.
These three Spirit Realm individuals clearly went through a series of preparations and arrangements.
They first found such a place, discovered that this place harbored a large number of sleeping ghosts, and with monsters like ghosts, during sleep, they hardly emit any aura, so Dog couldn't discover them in advance either.
The Vampire Mage had magic to control the ghosts.
Therefore, after painstakingly setting up the location, first controlled the ghosts on site with magic.
At the same time, they also roped in Wang Junwen's group to use them, the process unknown, likely through threats and inducements.
Hang Yu knew the Enchanting Demon Witch had skills from the Charm Series, though with the level and strength of this Enchanting Demon, it may not be able to use a skill with Permanent Charm effect, but it can use Enchantment Technique during negotiations to charm them.
Wang Junwen's group weren't good people to begin with.
Attractive enticements caused them to forsake integrity and chose to defect immediately.
They might be Jiang City's first batch of traitors, but certainly not the last.
If there's a spy to use.
If there's the advantage of location to use.
How best to leverage them?
Surely to use them to retaliate against Celestial Net!
Celestial Net pursued them too tightly, making their actions and plans difficult to unfold.
Now setting up such a trap, even if they can't completely wipe out Celestial Net, at least they can take out a batch of their investigators, making the already manpower-tight Celestial Net unable to dispatch elites to pursue them.
This plan seemed flawless.
Jiang City Celestial Net is indeed short on manpower.
If Xu Tianhua, who was just sent here, Captain Luo Zheng of the First Squad, and all the captains perish.
Jiang City Celestial Net will undoubtedly be severely weakened, and they truly won't be able to organize a pursuit team in a short time, giving the three from the Spirit Realm ample time to breathe and complete their unspeakable plans and conspiracies.
Now.
Everything's going smoothly!
The plan itself is not complicated!
But it succeeds in its unexpectedness!
So far, among humans, there's never been a traitor.
The Dark Elf Swordsman impatiently said, "Why are you telling them all this? Do you think this bunch will surrender? Just kill them all, leave no survivors!"
The Enchanting Demon Witch also said, "They are hard to charm, no need to waste time, make a move!"
There's no time to waste.
The Celestial Net will soon discover the situation here.
It's estimated that a large group of reinforcements will arrive in an hour.
Although Xu Tianhua couldn't understand the Spirit Realm language, seeing their expressions and murderous intent, he knew these guys were planning to make a move.
Really unlucky!
He's only been in Jiang City for two days.
And already encountered such a tricky situation.
Now surrounded by Ghosts, with Wang Junwen's crew behind, there's no way to retreat.
At this time, Hang Yu said, "Old Xu, don't worry. Although we've been played, they clearly underestimated us."
Indeed.
They definitely underestimated the strength of Hang Yu and Bai.
Xu Tianhua immediately asked, "Do you have a plan?"
"Leave the three from the Spirit Realm to us. You and the Celestial Net elite handle the Ghosts, Captain Luo takes Zhu Yang and the others to deal with Wang Junwen."
"What? You, Bai, Er Gou, can handle the three Spirit Realm natives? That sounds too crazy."
Hang Yu said, "No time to explain!"
"Okay, be careful!"
Despite finding it incredible, Xu Tianhua didn't hesitate much, instinctively accepting Hang Yu's arrangement as if returning to the Spirit Realm. After all, Grand Commander Hang is no ordinary person; he's trustworthy and the only trump card for breaking the situation today.
The Vampire heard the exchange, "Ridiculous, all of you go die!"
The Ghost soldiers understood.
They started madly attacking this place.
Xu Tianhua split the squad into three parts, took the flamethrower tossed by Hang Yu, and led the team to combat the surrounding attacking Ghosts. Luo Zheng held a battle spear and, with Magic Professional Zhu Yang and others, launched an attack on Wang Junwen's group.
The Dark Elf Swordsman charged at Hang Yu, "Humans, your courage is commendable, but with just you, you're no match for us."
Bai said nothing.
First, she summoned the Human-faced Ant Queen.
The Human-faced Ant Queen then summoned five or six Elite Ants.
Bai opened her fairy wings and flew up from the ground, leading the ant swarm to attack the Dark Elf Swordsman.
Er Gou realized that the Dark Elf Swordsman was the strongest of the three from the Spirit Realm. Hang Yu let Bai and the big ants engage him. Not seeking victory, but to hold him back.
Bai's recovery was impressive.
She's now a level 9 presence.
And a few skills are now usable again.
The mental attack of the level 7 Golden Elite Human-faced Ant Queen is tricky, and it can summon several Elite Giant Ants, so comparing it, the big ants' strength isn't far from the Elites.
Linked Wind Blades!
Bai swung the magic staff.
Over a dozen Wind Blades slashed at the Dark Elf Swordsman.
The Vampire Mage and Enchanting Demon Witch were both shocked.
The Enchanting Demon said, "Careful, she's not human, she's a Spirit Realm native too!"
Humans have sided with the Spirit Realm forces.
Naturally, Spirit Realm natives would side with humans too.
The Dark Elf Swordsman drew a long sword, split it into two, and dual-wielded them, quickly waving the slender blades to deflect all the oncoming Wind Blades.
A light mist descended from above.
"Illusion Dust?!" The Dark Elf recognized this Third Tier skill, "You two, get moving!"
Hang Yu said, "That Enchanting Demon is up to you, hold her off for a few minutes!"
"Woof! Witness my prowess!"
Er Gou howled, releasing five clones.
Then, both his original and his clones transformed into Big Black Wolves.
The clones' life force wasn't high, but the transformation's effect increased their life energy, now well over a hundred.
Other attributes are identical to the original.
In other words, the five clone dogs, super fast, incredibly strong, all with melee abilities close to Lord Monsters... plus the damage-absorbing original Er Gou, this lineup is absolutely formidable!
Though Dog's level isn't high!
But with his intelligence and abilities.
Temporarily holding off this Enchanting Demon Witch isn't too difficult!
Although the three from the Spirit Realm had a decent plan, they clearly didn't anticipate how strong this team was!
