"Brothers, smash those ships quickly! If we don’t sink them, all Black Wind Tribe members will escape soon."
"Everyone sweep the Trading House for goods, buy as many Spiritual Bombs as possible, blow up the bottom of the ships, and keep the combat videos for resource sharing later; claim reimbursement from the Warband management."
"Holy crap, all the Spiritual Bombs from the Trading House were sold out in an instant? You guys are too quick."
"No bombs left, I’ll just use my dagger to chisel away, those of you with bombs should hurry up and explode them, and make it fast!"
Facing the fleeing Black Wind Tribe in complete disarray, players were not planning to let them go.
Assassin players using the Twilight Shadow Form accelerated to the seaside warships to install and prepare to detonate Spiritual Bombs, aiming to cut off the Black Wind Tribe’s retreat.
Many players who couldn’t buy Spiritual Bombs could only chisel the ships with daggers, trying to create breaches to let in seawater.
They all knew that they carried the hope of the entire village.
If the ships weren’t destroyed, the Black Wind Tribe’s retreat could not be stopped.
How could they be willing to let the Black Wind Tribe escape?
At this moment, players watching the live stream from the small dark rooms were all voicing their encouragement, hoping that the group of assassin players would work quickly.
On the main battlefield.
The fierce pursuit was still ongoing.
Facing the Black Wind Tribe warriors constantly retreating, the Divine King adopted a restrictive strategy.
Some players were ordered to protect the players with Binding Souls, while the protected players used their Binding Souls to restrain some of the Black Wind Tribe warriors withdrawing.
At this time, Hei Yu had only two choices: abandon these clan members, or actively fight back to relieve the restrained tribesmen.
Hei Yu’s choice brought joy to the Divine King’s face.
He chose to protect the retreating tribesmen, continuously counterattacking to relieve them, which seriously slowed down the speed of the retreat.
This also bought more time for the assassin players still chiseling at the ships.
At this moment, Hei Yu, who was leading his clansmen to retreat towards the coast, was caught in combat with the players.
With a Hunting Level of 53, he could easily kill non-Stone Statue Players in one strike, but there was a clear sense of fear in his eyes.
After several rounds of combat, he noticed that this group of strange Alien Race beings seemed unafraid of death.
Over the rounds of battle, he led his clansmen to kill tens of thousands of Alien Race members, but they seemed not to care at all.
Even in their eyes, he could see a zealous fervor, as if this was... a hunt, and the Black Wind Tribe members he led were merely prey in their eyes.
Such a bizarre Alien Race had never been recorded in the sea lore passed down from ancestors.
But now it was too late for regrets.
The ease of initial occupation made him believe that he had taken the Colorful Mist Undersea Region, but he could never have anticipated the successive counterattacks that followed.
This Alien Race’s abilities seemed very strange to him.
Unlike the single Combat System development of most nearby sea area species, this mysterious race had a myriad of abilities: from Element output capabilities to close combat prowess, a whole array of systems that dazzled him, leaving no room to find targeted tactics.
But what was most outrageous was the mysterious creatures’ death trait.
Their bodies, upon death, would collapse in structure and dissolve into black smoke to vanish.
In his youth, he heard elders mention a mysterious undersea creature possessing the unique ability to Control the Power of the Sea in combat, and upon death, when their body’s stable structure was destroyed, most of the body would Dissolve into the seawater, fading into the invisible, leaving only a Crystal Stone-like radiant brain core.
Such Dissolving could be explained with principles, but these mysterious creatures would completely vanish without a trace, not leaving even the slightest mark.
It could be reluctantly assumed that this Alien Race had a peculiar Life structure that would collapse and Dissolve into the air and ground upon death.
But what was bizarre was that this disappearance also occurred in other aspects.
For instance, arms severed by his weapon would also vanish at the same moment when the creature died.
It seemed as if the severed arms still had some unknown connection to the body.
Such an outrageous Life trait was hard for him to believe.
Seeing his clansmen falling continuously beside him, Hei Yu’s expression grew more ferocious.
Originally for the future of the clan, they had chosen to migrate to find a suitable territory to recover and thrive, but he had not anticipated falling into such a desperate situation.
Facing the frenzied counterattack of the mysterious Alien Race, Hei Yu knew he had to retreat as fast as possible.
Continuing the fight would only increase the casualties among his people.
Once the casualties reached a certain extent, it would almost pronounce the death of the clan.
The Bright Star Sea Area has always been a place where the strong prey on the weak; even if the surviving clansmen could find a relatively safe land to establish their clan land, they would have to tread carefully during development, guarding against other plundering forces from different sea areas—and this battle consumed Black Wind Tribe’s foundation and future.
Thinking of this, Hei Yu roared in battle, charging again at the attacking players, physically resisting the players’ onslaught in an attempt to turn the tide.
His superior Physical Fitness allowed him to withstand the full output of the players and massacre them at will.
Although the high Level players present were fortified with a Life Soul Attribute boost of over 30 Levels, there was still a significant gap compared with Hei Yu’s Hunting Level of 53.
The Evolution points required for each increase in Life Soul Level follow an ascending curve; with each Level up, the required points increase substantially.
The gap of 20 Levels, seemingly small, actually represents a stark contrast in power.
This is why Hei Yu could withstand the players’ Frenzy output and still move back and forth on the main front, but the players could not get the better of him.
