Chapter 262: Chapter 261: Both Sides Assemble!

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”

Rumbles echoed one after another across the area bounding the chicken coop, with various flashes of color shimmering in the air. Trees fell in their wake, the ground was charred, and in no time, the entire chicken coop zone appeared as if it had been bombed, the land upheaved.

Only after a while, the rumbling in this space finally slowed and eventually stopped.

“Where the hell is that guy?!”

At this moment, around twenty Control teams from the Demon Clan were gathered together, discussing with mixed feelings.

“Could it be that there is no human being here? Are they the ones playing tricks?”

After several failed attempts to find the human, doubt was cast towards the other thousands of Destroyers from the Demon Clan.

“It's not impossible. Why else would 'that person' arrive as soon as we leave, and disappear as soon as we come…”

“Yeah, it's like he's disappearing into thin air, not a trace left behind…”

These words immediately scared the demons, prompting them to hurriedly swear that they were not deceiving anyone.

Seeing their states, they did not seem to be lying, which made the Controllers even more frustrated.

“Forget it, let it go for now. We've already wasted too much time here, the Big Dragon is about to respawn, let's go there first…”

Soon, the Controllers left once again.

Once they were gone, the Destroyers all looked at each other in dismay.

“What should we do, that human is too cunning, he disappears as soon as our Controllers arrive…”

“There's really no way. If the Controllers can't find him, we can't either…”

“So are we just leaving it like this?”

A demon spoke: “What else can we do if we don't? We can only wait until that human reaches the absorption limit for the first-level Essence, and then leaves this place…”

The monsters in the chicken coop were too important; they couldn't bear to leave.

Soon after, without giving them much time to talk, the person they found speechless and helpless appeared yet again.

Du Gang sauntered out from the shadows with a smirk on his face, saying: “What are you guys chatting about? Hurry back to work!”

Upon seeing him, the other demons immediately stopped chatting and rushed into the chicken coop.

After so much fighting, they have formed a silent agreement: they were in charge of fighting the beasts, and Du Gang was responsible for collecting Essences.

Looking at these obedient demons, Du Gang felt gratified. At this moment he felt like a landlord who possesses actual land.

“Around 30 more hours of this and I should reach the maximum absorption limit of the first-level Essence…”

Usually, Du Gang would expect the Controllers to come by again, but after waiting for four to five hours, his Divine Power increased significantly yet no one showed up.

“Seems like, they've given up!”

As for such an outcome, Du Gang was prepared. After all, the first-level wilderness zones were basically of no use to those Controllers.

With Du Gang being nowhere to be found and obviously more critical situations happening at the Big Dragon pit, it was completely normal for them to give up this place.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these two days, the Controllers of the Demon Clan seemingly had no idea that Du Gang was here, allowing him to plunder their Essences.

After two days of hard work, Du Gang reached the limit for absorbing the first-level Essence, and his maximum Divine Power reached 4000.

“Next, I only have the third-level Essence dropped by the Big Dragon left…”

Du Gang pondered as he watched the hardworking demons, seemingly deep in thought.

Should he kill these demons?

After some deliberation, he eventually decided to let the matter go.

After all, there are too many demons, and what he can kill would hardly make any dent in their numbers. Moreover, such a large number would consume a lot of his Divine Power and time.

“Bye bye!”

Du Gang waved at the demons, disregarding whether or not they responded, and instantly returned to the sacrificial altar.

At this moment, he had ninety teleportation opportunities left.

“I have to make good use of these opportunities to absorb all the third-level Essences dropped by the Big Dragon…”

If he could do that, then he could practically say he had collected all the available Divine Power in the first layer of the Abyss.

For most people, it would take hundreds or thousands of years to obtain all the Essences of a certain level. Yet, Du Gang has managed to do this in just a few days.

If others knew that he had maxed out the first and second-level Essences in such a short amount of time, they would be scared to death.

Du Gang began to examine the entire virtual map, first looking at the Big Dragon pit, which was the same as before.

The vicinity of the Big Dragon pit was swarming with countless black pieces. The number had increased, totaling around thirty thousand now.

The human side, on the other hand, had a large number of white pieces gathered near the red monsters, the number was also substantial, reaching about fifty to sixty thousand.

“Fifty to sixty thousand people?”

Du Gang was surprised at first, but quickly realized that among these people, the majority were only Destroyers. The Controllers probably only made up half or even a quarter of them.

And the Demon Clan…

He quickly checked the gathering point of the Demon Clan and noticed a large number of black pieces in their wilderness zones and river channels, in addition to the thirty thousand at the Big Dragon pit.

“Just as I thought. The demons at the Big Dragon pit are mostly Puppet Masters or Controllers. From this perspective, the Demon Clan has more people than the humans…”

In the Big Dragon battle, Puppet Masters could still be of some use, but Destroyers were basically useless. They were too weak and were basically cannon fodder.

However, looking at the situation on the human side, they seemed intent on bringing even the Destroyers to vie for the Big Dragon pit.

“Should I help?”

The thought had just popped into Du Gang's mind when he quickly shook his head and dismissed it.

Putting everything else aside, the number of people hiding in the crowd wanting to take his life was not small… it wasn't worth it!

“So, I still have to figure out a way to snatch the Big Dragon Essence…”

Du Gang's eyes darted quickly as he started to strategize on how to snatch the Big Dragon Essence.

“I can wait for them to start fighting, then go around the back…”

“Given the current situation, once the two sides start fighting, it will inevitably result in a long-lasting battle that will be difficult to end…”

“And the Demon Clan, under the condition of certain victory, will likely split up a group to hunt the Big Dragon. After all, the purpose of their dispute is still the Essence of the Big Dragon. It's impossible for them to abandon the Essence dropped by the Big Dragon for the sake of battle…”

The respawn time of the Essence dropped by the Big Dragon upon death is calculated from the time it is fully absorbed after it is killed, instead of the first respawn time. So, to farm the Big Dragon with maximum efficiency, it needs to be killed quickly the moment it respawns. That's the only way.

“So, the Demon Clan will definitely send people into the Dragon pit to slay the dragon. That will be my chance…”

The only thing to be careful of at that time is not to be killed by anyone.

This time, he does not intend to use the Jie-Character Secret for attack, everything was just to steal essence.

Just right, one day, he can recover a ten-second Jie-Character Secret, implying, by that time, he would be able to engage in a ten-second contest on the Red Earth.

As for the secrets of the altar stone platform, it did not matter if they were exposed. After all, he had reaped almost all the benefits in the first layer of the abyss.

Others wanting to understand the secrets of the altar stone platform was not that easy.

After all, what he showed was just appearing suddenly, then disappearing suddenly. Maybe others will think that he can become invisible, or knows some kind of teleportation secret technique.

Near the Red Monster.

Since news of the Big Dragon Pit being occupied by the Demon Clan spread, various powerful beings of the human race have been gathering here.

Many of them had come in response to the news. The Demon Suppression Army had issued a summoning order at the entrance of the first layer of the abyss, informing everyone of this circumstance.

At this moment, at the center of the Red Monster, stood the strongest group among all the humans gathered.

“I didn't think I'd return to the First Layer of the Abyss…”

“Yeah, I thought I'd never come back in this lifetime…”

There were around four to five teams of people, all with high and mighty attitudes, patronizing others.

They were all back from the second layer of the abyss, they were also first tribulation divine spirits, but they had reached the essence absorption limit in the first layer of the abyss, which was why they left.

“Yao Anfu, you're not capable, even losing the Big Dragon Pit…”

Compared to these people's mockery, Yao Anfu kept silent. He had indeed lost it. Although it was not particularly related to him personally, it had a significant impact. It was pointless to defend himself, he should think more about how to recapture the Big Dragon Pit.

Seeing Yao Anfu not responding, people lost the meaning to mock, and started discussing how to counterattack.

“How to counterattack? Just charge straight, isn't it!”

A man who looked as black as charcoal spoke loudly and indifferently.

“Li Heitan, just shut up, you brainless fellow…”

“Who the fuck are you talking about?”

All of a sudden, Li Heitan pulled out his ax, looking as if he was about to chop down a handsome looking teenager.

Fortunately, others saw it coming and stopped him, otherwise, they might start infighting because of a disagreement.

“We still need a strategy…”

At this time, a youth dressed in luxurious clothes made a remark.

As he spoke, others quiet down, casting their attention on him.

From a distance, others watched the luxurious youth in the center of the crowd with admiration, “This is Qin Jingshuo, right? He also came back…”

“Yeah, that guy who had reached 200 Divine Power units in the First Layer of the Abyss. I guess he's even stronger now, right?”

Qin Jingshuo was from the generation before Yao Anfu. When they first arrived at the First Layer of the Abyss, it was Qin Jingshuo's reign, thus his name was known to all.

“Qin Jingshuo, what should we do?”

Qin Jingshuo pondered for a moment and then said, “Based on the scout's information, the Controller and the operator on the Demon Clan's side are one and a half times stronger than ours…”

“We definitely can't win a brute force fight, so, I propose using a human wave tactic, letting the Destroyers deplete the enemy's Divine Power first…”

“What?”

Everyone was taken aback, because they realized that while Qin Jingshuo was speaking, he did not avoid the Destroyers around at all, and spoke directly.

Qin Jingshuo did not make much reaction, instead, he thought that everyone didn't hear him, and opened his mouth again, “Let the Controllers and Destroyers on our side, who have been discovered, go first to drain the enemy's Divine Power…”

“When we get to the middle of the fight, we can take our turn…”

Everyone was speechless, is his EQ really this low?

Seeing that everyone was still silent, Qin Jingshuo looked at the Destroyer in the distance and frowned, “Are you guys unwilling?”

“We're willing!”

What else could they say?

Fortunately, they came here due to the summoning order. The military offers subsidies, not only is the reconstruction of bodies free after death, but there is also certain Merits compensation for killing the enemy.

The military dared to do this because they have abundant military funds.

Places like the Ancient City Abyss, although its located close to the Ancient City, cast its impact over a large radius, and families with power within a one-million-square-kilometer radius generally came to the Ancient City Abyss for battle. Those further away generally went to other abysses.

Each Abyss's influence ranged from one million square kilometers to ten million square kilometers, depending primarily on whether there were other abysses nearby.

And the Ancient City Abyss was not only guarded by the Ancient City forces.

In addition to the Ancient City, the military of the Ancient City Abyss also had other surrounding races and legions stationed here, contributing a large amount of military funds annually. Those without legions paid even more money based on the basis of their sponsorship.

Therefore, Ancient City Abyss was not just controlled by the Ancient City power, but also many other forces. Any person gaining resources or improving in cultivation here moved faster than doing so alone within their own family.

The abyss was both a crisis and opportunity.

Many descendants of humble families grew step by step relying on the abyss.

Compared to the Noble Son, the only thing they lacked was the early accumulation.

“Isn't this strategy too rash?”

Although Qin Jingshuo was strong, there were still people who dared to question him.

“Although our Destroyers are not very strong, they are still humans. Isn't it too much to just let them be cannon fodder?”

Qin Jingshuo sneered, “If you have an opinion, then tell us, what strategy should we use?”

The one who questioned was suddenly at a loss for words. The Big Dragon Pit only had one entrance, it's not like there were other strategies. If they could go around it, then there would be other flexible strategies.

Now, they could only fight head-on. Qin Jingshuo's method, though seemingly the last resort, was by no means useless.

After all, even if the Destroyers died, they could recreate bodies for free, and in addition, there was extra Merit reward, it was not completely unacceptable.

In this way, as time passed, when there were still two hours left until the Big Dragon refreshes, nearly 60,000, strong members of the human race gathered near the Red Monster, all set off, starting to advance towards the Big Dragon Pit.

When the humans started to move, Du Gang saw this in his virtual map. The white pieces, representing humans, began to move uniformly.

Likewise, the black pieces, representing the scouts of the Demon Clan, reported back as soon as they noticed the humans' movement.

The Demon Clan side also quickly formed up, preparing to face the human strong contenders.

“It's finally starting!”

Du Gang also rubbed his hands together, ready for battle.

“We can't be impulsive, let them fight first. I will go and take advantage of the situation after the Big Dragon refreshes…”
