Chapter 212: Chapter 182: Stealing Home_1

"Godlike Player, what should our next move be?" The three leaders humbly asked Mu You.

Originally, these three were supposed to be the decision-makers for the support forces. However, now that such a powerful top Godlike Player had appeared, it was not their turn to make the decisions.

"First, let’s go to the main battlefield to check the situation... You should have something to track other Godlike Players, right?" Mu You glanced at the three.

"Yes, we do!"

The three quickly showed the temporary marks on the back of their hands, which were left by a Godlike Player who returned previously. Anyone who holds it can vaguely sense the location of that Godlike Player.

"Lead the way."

"Okay."

The three nodded and immediately led the team to set off. As for the captives just now, they had all been imprisoned in the backpack space.

With a Godlike Player leading the team, everyone was full of confidence this time.

Along the way, Mu You used ’Approval of the God of the Swamp’ and continuously manipulated the monsters to disperse in advance, so the team hardly encountered any large groups of Magical Beasts. Soon they neared the location of the main battlefield.

"Godlike Player, it should be just behind that mountain range..." One of them pointed to a mountain range ahead.

"Don’t rush to show yourselves, take a good look at the situation first."

Mu You glanced at the time. It was 2:45 a.m. At 3 a.m., the members of the Secret Technique Association had agreed to provide remote support again. It was best to wait until the support arrived before taking action.

"Okay."

More than 20 people climbed over the mountain range one after another. They peered over the summit into the other side.

However, the sight that met their eyes shocked them. Everyone sucked in a cold breath and instantly felt their bodies chilling and limbs stiffening.

Below the mountain range was a wide swamp plain, and countless monsters were scattered across it. From various kinds of Merfolk to Swamp Flying Dragons, from Mud Monsters to ancient Demon beasts like the Nine-headed Snake... In total, there were tens of thousands of beasts densely packed, nearly covering an area of several kilometers around.

At this moment, the Godlike Players were surrounded by these beast groups, tightly trapped inside without any gaps to escape.

Compared to the crisis they had faced before, this was a true disaster. No wonder the number of Magical Beasts attacking Earth had quickly decreased - they had all run over here.

However, considering their current strength of just over twenty people, trying to break into such a large group of monsters for support was nothing short of a dream.

"What can we do? We can’t go down there!"

The three leaders were dumbfounded. Such a massive group of high-level Magical Beasts, and they weren’t even brave enough to show themselves, let alone assisting the Godlike Players.

Mu You carefully observed the full view of the battlefield below. As expected, there were about ten Black-robed people launching attacks near the Godlike Players.

The number of Black-robed people was far less than the team of Godlike Players, but they did have countless Magical Beasts to use. By utilizing the impact of the Magical Beasts, a handful of them still managed to keep more than twenty Godlike Players pinned down in the encirclement, unable to do anything else.

At this time, behind those Black-robed people, about a hundred meters away, was a striking altar, on top of which was a statue of a marine creature around ten meters tall.

This should be the so-called altar of the God of the Swamp. Now, centered around the altar, a barrier of a hundred meters in radius was extending outwards, protecting the altar in the center like an inverted bowl. Neither the monsters nor the Godlike Players could enter the extent of the barrier.

Judging by the direction the Godlike Players were constantly trying to break through, it was the location of the altar. It was clear that they were trying to approach to break the barrier and then destroy the altar.

The Black-robed people were also fully aware of this fact. They all blockade in the direction of the altar, desperately preventing any Godlike Player from approaching. The situation was equally matched, so much so that the battlefield remained near the altar, creating a prolonged seesaw situation.

"How many of you have spells that can tear down buildings?" After looking closely at the altar, Mu You suddenly turned back and asked.

Everyone was stunned for a moment, the three leaders immediately understood: "Godlike Player, you’re thinking?"

"Yeah."

Mu You nodded: "The situation is very clear. The Ten Commandments have limited numbers and are just managing to hold their own against the Godlike Players with the help of the Magical Beasts. As long as we can destroy the altar, the Ten Commandments will lose their control over the beasts and the Godlike Players naturally have the power to counter them."

Mu You said and took out an empty backpack, threw it on the ground: "The plan is simple. All of you will enter this backpack later. My skin can break through that barrier without restrictions. I will take you into the barrier, then it’s up to you."

"I will try to stop the other Black-robed people from getting closer. When you hear my signal, immediately come out of the backpack and then don’t care about anything else, just tear down that altar with all your might!"

Everyone exchanged glances and quickly nodded. It was their only option at this point.

Although there were some risks, no matter how dangerous, it was still much easier than facing the previous life-or-death crisis.

"Okay, I agree."

"I agree too."

"Let’s do as Godlike Player says!"

...

The Marshlands were now filled with the brilliance of magic and the thunderous roars of the beasts.

The team battle involving more than forty Godlike Players from both sides was undoubtedly brutal.

Merfolk were falling amidst the swirling magic energy, wailing in agony. Flames erupted from the flying dragons in the sky, causing them to plummet straight down. On the ground, magical beasts turned into ashes one after the other...

But no matter how intense the battlefield was, it couldn’t completely conceal the perceptiveness of the Godlike Players. So when someone quietly approached the battlefield from far away, they detected it instantly.

While still engaged in combat, over forty Godlike Players took a moment to glance in another direction.

They saw a black-robed man approaching from the other side of the altar. The magical beasts along his path did not show any intention of attacking him. He passed through the herd of beasts unscathed and stepped into the Altar Barrier.

"Just in time!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, the other black-robed members of the Ten Commandments were delighted.

The Godlike Players on the opposing side, however, frowned upon seeing this. Their team was already strained, having been in continuous combat for so long. They had been unable to destroy the altar, and they were already physically and mentally exhausted.

After engaging in continuous battles, their team of twenty-nine was now down to twenty-three players. The six missing players hadn’t died, but after repeated deaths, they had dropped fifteen levels and had to take refuge in others’ backpacks temporarily. Because players below level 15 had no chance of surviving on this battlefield, their only option was to leave or they would only die faster.

The remaining players were no better off. They had died a few or even dozens of times, losing more and more experience with each death. If they were to die a few more times, they too would face de-leveling.

Many were considering withdrawing, but seeing others still fighting hard and the situation still under control, no one had voiced this yet.

But now, the arrival of another ally on the opposing side, an elite-level 19 player, was the final straw that broke the camel’s back.

"Alas, prepare to break through and retreat..."

The Jiu You God, one of the decision-makers of the Dragon Group, was the first to speak.

Nobody was surprised. As Godlike Players, they were capable of assessing the situation. It was obvious that things were no longer salvageable at this point.

If they continued to push through, there might still be a slim chance of breaking the barrier and destroying the altar. But what would be the point? Their losses would only increase.

If they were to lose all these Godlike Players just for the sake of a single altar, it would be a real disaster for mankind!

At this point, defeat was inevitable.

However, with their failure, some cities within the country would inevitably suffer. It would become more challenging to disrupt the altar in the future, allowing high-level Magical Beasts to continuously invade the Yangtze River and subsequently escape into the ocean, spreading across the globe...

They couldn’t yet determine the long-term effects that might occur.

Fortunately, withdrawal at this point wasn’t difficult. The Godlike Players had their town-return scrolls, which were powerful life-saving tools. They didn’t need many; two scrolls were enough for everyone to return.

Just when the Jiu You God was preparing to activate the town-return scroll, sudden changes started taking place around them.

The magical beasts around them suddenly became restless. Ignoring their previous targets, they started rushing madly towards the altar. However, they were stopped by the barrier and couldn’t enter, only able to howl in rage outside the barrier.

This surprising turn of events left everyone momentarily stunned. Turning around, they noticed more than twenty new figures inside the altar’s barrier, all wielding magic wands or weapons, launching a furious attack on the Statues of Gods on the altar.

On the other side of the barrier, the black-robed man who had arrived earlier was at the edge of the barrier but had not left it. Waving his wand, he began to cast a spell.

An enormous ice wall suddenly arose in response to his movements, obstructing the spherical barrier.

"Damn! He’s not Rode!"

The people of the Ten Commandments immediately realized this. They neglected their attacks on the other players and rushed back towards the altar, trying to prevent such a blatant act.

"Perfect timing!"

On the other hand, after their initial shock, the Godlike Players understood that it was reinforcement arriving for them!

And this reinforcement had arrived at an opportune time and place, directly parachuting into the barrier’s interior to attack the altar from close-range!

Although they didn’t know how it was done, the Godlike Players instantly comprehended the excellent counterattack opportunity presented by the ice wall’s appearance!

All the Godlike Players resolutely abandoned the idea of retreating and rushed towards the black-robed men together.

Without the obstruction of the magical beasts, their outnumbered team from the Godlike Players now had the upper hand against the few black-robed men. It was naturally crucial to seize this opportunity to launch a counterattack and buy time for the reinforcements.

The black-robed men ran to the front of the barrier, intending to quickly eliminate the obstacles and enter the barrier to deal with the people inside.

However, they soon realized they had underestimated the quality of the ice wall in front of them.

The joint casting of the black-robed men resulted in several powerful spells which were capable of shattering a small hill.

But when those attacks hit the ice wall, they only caused some insignificant cracks. The ice wall stood firm and immovable in its place.

The black-robed men were flabbergasted: What in the world was this?
