Hum!

An alien, which had a green, inverted-triangle snake head and a monkey’s body, launched a gray sharp cannonball from what appeared to be a rocket launcher on his shoulder.

Leaving a trail of smoke and flames, the cannonball flew over a distance of a hundred meters and bumped into a stronghold made of black and red rocks that felt like metals.

Boom!

The cannonball blew a hole in the stronghold. Plumes of smoke rose and formed a small mushroom cloud in the area!

Before the smoke dispersed, the Snake Monkey alien had already dashed into the mushroom cloud with the rocket launcher that had been emptied.

Pop! Crackle!

Following that, an intense noise of battle burst out.

After the mushroom cloud rose to the sky, in a corner of the black stronghold where the smoke had dispersed, the Snake Monkey alien was strangling a creature that looked like an enlarged green-skinned lizard but wore a silver armor that was fully engraved with magic runes.

The armor on the creature was so delicate that it was obviously made of an intelligent creature.

Also, the magic runes on the armor were glimmering in red and blocking the heat and flames that were caused by the explosion of the rocket.

Pa! Pa! Pa!

However, those magic runes quickly dimmed as the Snake Monkey choked the lizard’s throat with one hand and smashed it heavily with the rocket launcher that weighed probably a hundred kilograms with the other hand.

Crack!

Several seconds later, the head of the lizard who wore magic armor was completely squashed, and green blood gushed out!

Pew!

However, before the Snake Monkey could take a break, a javelin that was three meters long and engraved with red magic runes had flashed and pierced through its body from one side.

It was so powerful that the alien’s body was fully impaled into the black metal-like rocks.

After that, the red javelin exploded abruptly and blew up the Snake Monkey’s body, leaving ashes and roasted meat all over the ground!

From where the javelin came from, an enormous lizard that was five meters tall stood up with an equally shaped javelin in its other hand. It wasn’t wearing any magic armor, yet nothing but sparks popped up on its bronze scales when attacked by the bullets all over him. It only suffered some minor wounds even though it took the Snake Monkey’s rockets!

Behind the lizard, it could be seen that the non-combatant lizards were gathered at the center of the black stronghold.

A shield made of red power of providence protected them from the barrage and bombardment from the Snake Monkeys.

As the perspective of the picture changed, it could be seen that dozens of Snake Monkeys and lizards were wrestling and fighting at whatever costs. Hundreds of bodies had collapsed around the black fortress.

It was obvious that both parties had devoted all their personnel to the life-and-death battle. There were heavy casualties.

Under normal circumstances, the only way to make up for the loss in the battle was to win the war and absorb the enemy’s settlement core and resources…

However, about two kilometers from the black-and-red fortress…

“Technology versus magic? But I think the two creatures look rather familiar!”

Two Snapping Dragon Turtle Warships were sailing in the seawater, and several heroes of the Twin Dragon Mount fort were standing on it.

Ji Ye, on the other hand, was standing on the surface of the water. The Mirage Dragon Pearl that was supported by white Dragon Aura projected the scenes of the battle from the perspective of the sky.

“They’re the two sorts of soul crewmen on the Ghostship earlier… The Snake Monkey and the Tyrant Lizard!”

Ji Ye could imagine what had happened.

The two alien groups were as strong as each other, and neither of them was capable of destroying the enemy’s settlement by the end of the Ten-Species Competition quest.

Because of that, neither of them was qualified to receive new players.

On the other hand, the island under their feet could not move forward as a ship in the “Strive for the Best” quest!

Even more unluckily, they were raided by the powerful Ghostship at the beginning, and both parties lost a lot of combatants.

They also realized that they would only end up as cannon fodder if they couldn’t defeat the enemy and monopolize the island.

So, they fought a life-and-death battle. When the battle was coming to an end, the Twin Dragon Island’s ship sailed through the heavy fog to the two alien groups that had both suffered heavy losses.

“Right place, right time!”

“I think the Twin Dragon Island is blessed with the talent to take advantage.”

They talked to each other on the water without worrying that the two warring groups would notice them.

According to the conclusions of the Confederate government back on Earth, the settlements in this phase had a different range of eyesight depending on their levels.

The higher level a settlement was at, the more eyesight it would receive.

Take Twin Dragon Island for example. Because its settlement had reached Extraordinary Rank-9, the area within a twenty-kilometer radius of the settlement core had been “illuminated”, which was why they could notice the Ghostship half an hour early.

The regular Extraordinary Rank-5 settlements could only observe within a range of five kilometers.

Also, such eyesight applied only to the personnel that belonged to a settlement.

To put it simply, even if some aliens came twenty kilometers away from the Twin Dragon Island, their eyesight would still be five kilometers.

Furthermore, the aliens on this island probably had narrower eyesight, because they hadn’t accomplished the Ten-Species Competition quest yet.

“I don’t know if we’re blessed with that, but if we dally any longer, we won’t be able to receive the rewards for destroying the Tyrant Lizards’ settlement after the Snake Monkeys win.”

Both of the alien groups suffered heavy losses from the raid of the Ghostship.

After losing their boss who mastered the Shield of Red Dragon, the Tyrant Lizards were clearly no match for the Snake Monkeys anymore.

Now, the enemies had reached their base, and their downfall was near at hand.

Things looked better for the Snake Monkeys. Because they were some sort of technology civilization, even the old and the weak among them could fight the enemies, so there were a hundred of them left.

Because of the limited capacity of the Snapping Dragon Turtle Warships, the Twin Dragon Island had only a dozen people here.

A dozen people versus a hundred enemies?

“I can kill them all on my own, as long as you drop me at the island!” Li Yuanba said in a casual tone.

For such a disobedient young man, it was much easier to receive EXP and Honor through battles than through hard labor in construction!

“Let’s go together!”

Ji Ye shook his head. He activated his Flood Dragon Bloodline and directed the two warships through the fog. Everyone then disembarked in a place that the warring aliens couldn’t see.

In fact, under normal circumstances, they shouldn’t have been so “reckless” even though they were much stronger.

After all, nobody could tell if the enemy had some sort of ultimate weapon that could allow them to die with the intruders.

So, a lion should try its best even though it was only attacking a hare!

However, theoretically speaking, as the two parties fought to the current phase, they had probably used up most of their hidden methods and weapons.

After all, the Snake Monkeys’ ammunitions and the Tyrant Lizards’ magic equipment were all Extraordinary resources. Since they weren’t qualified to enter the City of Humans, they already ran out of most of the supplies.

Most importantly, the heroes of the Twin Dragon Mount fort were simply too strong for them to be cautious!

“Master, I’d like to ask for your permission to ambush the Snake Monkey’s base with my brother!”

Ruan Xiaoer surfaced in the water and asked for permission.

Clearly, his experience of ambushing the Eagle Men’s settlement had given him the bold idea.

Ruan Xiaoqi, who was standing next to him with the Invisible Harpoon that the Ghostship captain dropped, seemed eager to act too.

“You can go, but don’t let them destroy the resources…”

Ji Ye nodded.

The Snake Monkeys had almost been fully deployed to attack the Tyrant Lizards. From the Mirage Cloud Mirror, it could be seen that their own settlement was almost defenseless. An attack towards the settlement would greatly disturb them.

Also, another reason was that the Snake Monkeys and the Tyrant Lizards were all intelligent creatures!

Once they realized that the intruders were too strong for them to resist, they might destroy the important resources in their settlement!

“So, let’s split up… Don’t be careless if you run into any enemy!”

After all, all the people who had survived in settlements that had been fighting all the time must be tricky to deal with.

Apart from everything else, all the aliens on the battlefield were Extraordinary warriors at this moment.

Some of them were even above Extraordinary Rank-5.

Yes… Quite some of them!

The gap between the settlements that failed to accomplish the Ten-Species Competition quest and the Ten-Species Competition fort was too obvious.

It was further manifested after the battle began.

Li Yuanba, who broke into the battlefield first, exerted strength and leaped at the ragged black-and-red stronghold. The Long Gold Hammers in his arms had already enlarged while he was still midair.

The moment he landed on the stronghold, he swung the Long Gold Hammers at the same time and smashed the Tyrant Lizard that caused heavy losses to the Snake Monkeys into a “pie”.

Those Long Gold Hammers weighed two hundred kilograms even in the regular form. After they were enlarged by Transcendent power, their weight, as well as their size, would increase. Each of them could be weighing more than five thousand kilograms…

Together with the strength of his arm…

The Tyrant Lizard was Extraordinary Rank-6, and its scales were hard enough to resist medium-sized hot weapons. It was quite strong even among the Extraordinary Rank-6 creatures.

Yet it could not resist the attack of a young man who was in a bad mood after working in a construction site for a long time.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

After marching to the battlefield, Li Yuanba struck the lizards and the monkeys crazily and indiscriminately.

The strikes were so powerful that the aliens were all blown up in midair!

Clang!

Yan Qing took action too.

A green eagle appeared on his back and took him to the sky. He then drew his radiant bow, and after a golden flash, an Extraordinary Rank-5 Quasi-Commander Snake Monkey who attempted to throw out a fuming bomb collapsed helplessly with a hole on its forehead.

The bomb that had already been ignited exploded in his hand and consumed multiple Snake Monkeys around.

Yan Qing shot his radiant bow consecutively at the senior warriors on the Snake Monkeys’ side, which had more advantages on the battlefield!

Ji Ye took action too.

However, he wasn’t really interested in obtaining EXP and Honor by killing the aliens.

Firstly, he was too strong. He had already reached Extraordinary Rank-8, and attacking people weaker than him on the Land of Inheritance would give him less spoils of war and EXP.

Secondly, instead of killing the combatants, destroying a settlement would not only give him Honor but also Rare Honor, which was more valuable!

“Roar!”

After a yellow flash, Ji Ye quickly moved with “Distance Reduction” to a corner of the black-and-red stronghold. The lizards that defended this place had died in the battle. Also, both parties had fallen into chaos because of the human beings’ participation in the battle, and nobody stopped him from doing what he did.

Pa!

So, after a purple flash, a jade brush appeared in Ji Ye’s hand. It was exactly the Eye Painting Brush!
