Chapter 282 - 282 Killing the Common Enemy, Su Wan
282 Killing the Common Enemy, Su Wan
Su Wan didn’t hesitate. She summoned the nine-headed Hydra.
Before the enemy could react, the Hydra lifted Lin Yao and slithered away.
Zhao Qingrong looked at her troops. “Some of you stay behind and guard the rear. Others, retreat! Your goal is to stall for time.”
Su Wan and Lin Yao rode on the back of the Hydra. However, they were about to reach their speed limit. The Hydra slithered through the rocks and boulders quickly.
Su Wan opened the forum on her device. Some Lords were posting the same sentence over and over again.
“We must kill Su Wan!”
Su Wan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She was now a common enemy of the Lords, and they wanted to get rid of her.
The news that followed made the players who had suffered a huge blow excited.
“Good news! Su Wan’s troops were defeated! The remaining troops are trapped!”
…
At the opening of the Dimensional Portal, the sandstorm had calmed. Numerous troops began to emerge once again.
When the other Lords found this out, they began to send their troops through the portal to salvage the resources.
Su Wan ignored them and gestured for the Hydra to slither toward the northwest corner of the valley. The place astonished them.
The ground had become so dry that cracks spread everywhere like spiderwebs.
The space between the cracks formed a deep and bottomless void. Even a dragon would fall to its death if it stumbled between the cracks. On both sides of these cracks were piles of sand.
Su Wan could feel the power in this place. Her own power surged in response. This was the opportunity to upend the battle.
This terrain was perfect. It was easy to defend here but difficult to attack.
The advantage of such a place was that the enemy didn’t get to decide who would live and who would die.
Su Wan’s eyes sparkled. They still had a chance! She was now grateful for Xu Yuan trying to force her to train every day. Otherwise, she couldn’t even think of coming up with an idea such as this.
She had grown a lot as a Lord. She could not believe that Xu Yuan, who used her as a tool every day, was behind her progress in combat and strategy!
While the invading Lords were busy enjoying their success and taking it easy, she had trained every single day to become stronger.
It was now time to put what she had learned into practice and see the results for herself.
They let the Hydra hide first. Surrounded by piles of sand, Su Wan and Lin Yao stayed out of sight.
Su Wan took out the magic crystal and let Lin Yao replenish her mana to perform magic again if needed.
The two of them looked around to decide on a suitable location for the next battle.
A moment later, they found it! Su Wan gestured to Lin Yao. They climbed down a small valley that was just a few meters wide.
At the base, they saw a circular passageway that was around 300 meters tall and 30 meters wide. It looked as though it was dug into a circular shape by a machine.
They stood in front of this huge passageway. Just then, the sound of falling rocks rang out from the tunnel.
The sound seemed to come from the depths of the earth. It sounded somewhat muffled.
Su Wan recalled something Xu Yuan had told her. The creature’s name surfaced in her mind: Dark Demonic Sand Worm.
It was a monster Xu Yuan had warned her about. It was a special creature that was huge and could devour Light Dragons very easily.
When Su Wan first heard of it, she had just brushed it off because she had no idea how huge the creature must be. Now that she was in front of the enormous passageway, which was probably made by the creature, she truly felt terrified of the monster.
However, Su Wan wondered how useful the monster would be in a fight. Even 30 warriors wouldn’t be a match for such a creature.
Su Wan and Lin Yao stayed alert. When they felt that there was no immediate danger of the creature suddenly appearing before them, they made their way further into the valley.
They soon came across a similar passageway. This passageway was even larger than before.
Su Wan frowned. How many huge creatures lived in this area?
Su Wan tried to open her senses and find out. The creatures seemed to be deep in sleep for now. Their life force was stable.
Su Wan heaved a sigh of relief. She ignored everything else and observed the cracks on the ground more closely.
They had to choose a location that was large enough to bury all their enemies in one go.
…
The Lords were done with salvaging the resources. They turned their focus toward the northwest direction.
The spatial crack that Su Wan had chosen was not huge. It was only about a hundred kilometers from the center to the northwest corner.
The flying troops arrived in about twenty minutes. However, they were a little disappointed when they saw the cracks in the ground. How will they ever find the enemy in such a terrain? Finding two people in the ground with so many cracks was like searching for a needle in a haystack.
They started building a Dimensional Portal to summon the troops quickly. The army reacted quickly and immediately gathered the mages to start building the teleportation portal.
The Dimensional Portal directly teleported the troops to the valley. There were so many of them that the sky was entirely covered by flying troops.
The Lords hitched a ride and flew around the valley. Numerous troops covered the sky. They could hunt Su Wan and Lin Yao down from every direction!
Su Wan would definitely be killed this time! If they couldn’t get rid of Su Wan even after this, it would be a disgrace.
The Lords couldn’t believe Su Wan and Lin Yao held out till now. If it was anyone else, they would have run out of ammunition.
Besides, how could they even escape from something like this?
The Lords and their troops were full of confidence. The terrain was now swarming with Light Dragons, Light Unicorns, and Light Griffons. There were numerous other troops on the ground too.
The Lords were confident they could kill Su Wan. However, the thought made them uneasy. No matter how many times they tried to deny it, the fact that Su Wan had become a common enemy to so many Lords felt like an honor. She was seen as the strongest and the most significant threat anyone had ever encountered. The Light-Types wouldn’t even bother if somebody else was in her place.
The Lords couldn’t help but marvel at Su Wan’s prowess even if they wanted to kill her.
However, this was the end for Su Wan. No matter how strong she was, she couldn’t avoid this. The troops searched for her at the center of the valley.
