Several monstrous creatures of immense size lunged from behind.
They all immediately surged towards the altar.
Just as Ao Yuan was about to engage them in battle.
An astonishing scene unfolded.
Before everyone's eyes, mid-air, they seemed to have gone berserk, turning on each other in a savage fight!
"What... what is going on?"
Around the altar, numerous soldiers exchanged bewildered glances, their eyes filled with confusion.
Clearly, not a single one could comprehend why these creatures were slaughtering each other!
Ao Yuan remained still, his mind a jumble.
But soon.
Ao Yuan's gaze shifted, as if he had understood something.
Abruptly, his focus settled on the 'blood' flowing from the colossal tree.
Could it be...
Because of this?
As Ao Yuan pondered, he extended a claw to catch a drop of the tree's flowing 'blood,' then flicked his claw.
Instantly, the drop of blood transformed into a stream of light, striking the center of the group of monsters.
"Hiss~"
"Roar~"
In an instant, the monsters, which had been fiercely battling the soldiers, froze.
Ignoring the soldiers before them, they unleashed all their might to snatch at this drop of 'blood.'
Within mere blinks of an eye, countless monsters perished at the hands of their own kind due to infighting.
Finally, one monster seized the drop of 'blood.'
Boom!
Immediately after, the monster's form shuddered, and its body began to visibly grow even more massive.
"Roar!"
Seconds later, the monster let out a sky-shattering roar, and a surge of immense power erupted.
"Hiss~"
Witnessing the entire event, everyone gasped, drawing sharp breaths.
Every gaze was filled with awe as they glanced at the colossal tree beside them.
With just a single drop, this monster had undergone such a drastic transformation!
If this were also effective on humans...
Hiss!
The mere thought sparked a gleam in everyone's eyes, their breathing growing ragged.
"You all fall back!"
Ao Yuan, though somewhat surprised, remained composed.
He had quickly accepted the strangeness of the giant tree.
After all.
He was a dragon with a system!
"Let's resolve the current predicament first!"
At this moment, Bai Feng took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and said.
"Pair up now, two per team. Go collect the 'blood,' and then throw the collected 'blood' out!"
He paused, his eyes narrowing, and spoke sternly, "Let these beasts tear each other apart!!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers' eyes lit up, and they immediately formed into pairs.
One by one, they orderly dropped the 'blood' into the monster horde.
And indeed, the effect was remarkable!
With every toss, the monsters frantically scrambled for it.
During this process, countless creatures also met their end.
"Awesome!"
Watching the monsters that had previously attacked them viciously tear each other apart.
The soldiers couldn't be happier.
However.
Just as everyone was feeling exhilarated.
Rumble!
From afar, another projectile shot out.
This time, by sheer chance, it struck one of the colossal monsters.
"Boom!"
The monster let out a tremendous roar.
Following that, it let out another cry.
The monsters, who had been engaged in a free-for-all, suddenly halted.
Subsequently, they began to let out a series of roars.
Before long, the gazes of those once fearsome monsters all turned towards the altar.
With so many monsters staring at them, everyone's movements froze.
"Roar!"
"Hiss!"
"Roar!"
The next second, the group of monsters let out a series of roars and, without hesitation, charged towards them.
At this moment!
Everyone's faces contorted in shock, a potent sense of crisis instantly enveloping them.
Under this overwhelming sense of danger, they felt no inclination to resist.
"They're finally here!"
Ao Yuan's gaze locked onto the charging figures before him, a flicker of fighting spirit igniting in his icy eyes.
This was arguably the most formidable enemy he had encountered since his birth!
Taking a breath, Ao Yuan turned to the crowd behind him and said, "You all retreat!"
With his words, Ao Yuan soared into the air.
Seeing Ao Yuan take flight, Bai Feng immediately signaled the soldiers to step back a few paces.
The others offered no objection whatsoever.
They were deeply aware of Ao Yuan's immense strength.
At this moment!
The six monsters, observing Ao Yuan from afar, cautiously converged.
They too could feel Ao Yuan's aura.
But!
Not a single beast retreated.
Clearly.
In their eyes, no obstacle, however great, could prevent them from obtaining the giant tree's 'blood'!
The two sides faced each other.
Ao Yuan's aura was calm and contained.
The other six monsters were savage and frenzied.
The next moment!
"Roar!"
One of the monsters could no longer bear it. It stomped its foot and lunged at Ao Yuan like a cannonball.
This was a monster with bladelike hands and an exceptionally slender physique.
Its speed was astonishing; in a mere blink, it was beside Ao Yuan.
The next second.
With a whistling sound, it raised its claws and fiercely swiped down at Ao Yuan.
Below, Bai Feng watched, his heart filled with alarm.
This strike, if it were aimed at him, would undoubtedly mean certain death.
Firstly, its speed was incredible!
Secondly, the creature's claws were like ultra-sharp blades.
There was no doubt that a light scratch could rip a person open!
However.
Facing this ferocious assault, Ao Yuan showed no intention of dodging.
He simply raised a claw and effortlessly intercepted the attack.
There was no flashy display.
Both Ao Yuan and the monster remained motionless.
This left everyone present, as well as the beasts, completely perplexed.
What was happening?
Why had they stopped moving?
"Trash!"
As everyone pondered, Ao Yuan's cold voice echoed from mid-air.
The next second, a scene that filled everyone with horror unfolded.
In the sky.
Bang!
A faint sound was heard.
The monster's arm suddenly snapped off.
Following that, like a bird with a broken wing, it plummeted from the sky, crashing directly onto the ground below.
Bang!
Its body hit the ground, utterly motionless.
As if... it were already dead!
Seeing this, everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost.
What kind of situation was this?
With just a raise of his hand, he had dispatched this powerful monster.
"Roar!"
"Hiss!"
"Baa!"
As everyone stood in stunned silence.
The eyes of the remaining five monsters all fixed warily on Ao Yuan.
The next second!
Roar!
All five monsters let out a furious, wild roar.
Beneath them, countless monsters surged forth, stomping their feet and launching themselves towards Ao Yuan in mid-air.
Simultaneously.
These five monsters, each with a distinct appearance, all charged at Ao Yuan.
They formed a pincer formation, blocking all of Ao Yuan's escape routes.
Clearly!
Their intention was to kill Ao Yuan!
Below.
The soldiers watched this scene, all of them stunned.
Could Ao Yuan truly handle this?
This time, it seemed as though everyone in this small world was attacking Ao Yuan!
"No!"
"I have to go help Dai Dai!"
Below, Dai Xiaomei's expression shifted slightly, then she transformed into a streak of fire and flew towards Ao Yuan's direction!
