A Year of Great Undertakings - Book 6, Chapter 110: Underground Battle (1/2)
When Su Chen saw Lonely Skyleap’s hesitation, he chuckled “If the Harpies really want the Immortal’s Soul, you are more than likely to focus all your attention on the Astral Hall Gloo, the Dreaht Pavilion, the Millenial Garden There are simply too many places with too many resources that need to be plundered If the Harpies focus on one area, the Ravagers probably won’t be able to out-rob the Harpies”
But as the difference between that and Danba’s earlier proposal?
Lonely Skyleap glanced at Su Chen and said, “It seeood terood terms I just don’t like you, is all”
Lonely Skyleap felt incredibly hu he could do
It was his fault for requesting their presence, then criticizing them when they failed to coroup out of the three, but they still dared to put on airs The Harpies’ pride, which ran bone-deep, was quite annoying
As such, Danba and Su Chen didn’t hesitate to suppress his arrogance, forcing him to pay the prices for his pride
Of course, ht with hiers and their allies, so Su Chen’s plans to stir up a conflict between the Harpies and the Ravagers was already useless Danba’s ood for hi up this conflict? It would have been far better for Su Chen just to play his cards as he was dealt them
The fact of the ht The latter was extreed to outwit him and defeat him
He would rather use Danba to deal with Eternal Night, not the other way around
Want the spoils?
It’s up to you to take thereement that the three parties came to
The Harpies could only accept if they wanted to claiotiating, the assault immediately commenced because the area was simply too cold
The countless caves scattered across the surface of Sky-Breaking Mountain were the entrances to the Wanlai Caves
Every cave went doards, but none of theht down
The tunnels formed a complicated, interconnected network that would need to be felt out bit by bit Only the Astrals were able to reate the system of tunnels Any enemies and invaders would likely find the force was sizable enough, even the most complicated maze could be solved via brute force
The three armies had chosen a very simple method to deal with this labyrinth - they would simply fill the tunnels with people and slowly snake their way down
Once all of the tunnels were occupied, the correct path would naturally appear
Groups of Ravager, Harpy, and human soldiers entered the system of caves from different entrances Froroups of worker ants entering their colony
The Boundless Sect’s disciples were split aan to slowly but surely h the tunnels Because the tunnels were interconnected, they would occasionally run into each other
The tunnels would become lively at that point
If there were other paths to explore, the disciples would explore those alternative paths; otherwise, they would dee back and forth in such a narrow cave system was obviously no easy task
As such, the disciples were constantly calling out to one another
“Stop! Stop! Whoever’s behind us, stop walking forwards!”
“This is a dead end!”
“Don’t attack! We’re your allies!”
“There’s a path here”
“Be careful Ah, dammit! There’s a trap here”
The Astrals weren’t planning on letting these invaders just calhout the network of tunnels, and each trap’s activation beca!
Iron Cliff shattered the boulder bearing down on hi to duel in the Wanlai Caves? Why are we just fighting traps instead?”
“This is the duel,” Su Chen, as standing next to hi for the Astrals, is it not?”
Yes, it was indeed quite fitting
“Sky-Breaking Mountain is only used to thin out our front line Once we actually reach the underground, the real battle will begin,” Su Chen cal now are only the beginning”
Iron Cliff felt his hair stand on end when he heard this “So doesn’t thatto be very difficult to clear?”
Su Chen sighed “Well, not really No matter how you look at it, these tunnels will lead us to Gloom City No matter what the Astrals try to do, they will not be able to stop us The only major difference is howSu Chen’s words, a low laugh sounded out fro to itself
Finally, the Astrals were showing themselves
These Astrals relied on their familiarity with the tunnel systein to harass and hunt the invading cultivators
Because of terrain restrictions, such as the narrowness of the tunnel walls, the Astrals were not afraid of the enemy’s numbers No matter howone or two at a tiave them a perfect opportunity to dehts
Just as Su Chen and Iron Cliff were chatting, an Astral had chosen to strike
A wave of corrosive fog suddenly appeared, swirling towards the advancing cultivators
This wave of fog was definitely an incredibly potent Arcana Technique Its corrosiveness was even effective against barriers, but its one e In the tunnels, however, there was nowhere to dodge to The disciples didn’t even have any ti them to cry out in pain
