Chapter 3564: 4.1164 Earth Spirit Grand Formation

Human combat was, of course, the quickest, most ruthless, and most accurate way to deal with these hideous creatures.

"Team two rests, team three takes over," came Huifeng's voice, and the troops moved again. They rapidly advanced towards the outer perimeter.

An hour later, they opened a gap in the corpse puppet nest and met with Fu San, who was leading his troops from an oblique direction.

The two forces combined, becoming even more invincible.

If viewed from high above, one would notice the two forces forming a scissor shape, like two sharp long swords, directly piercing into the center of the corpse puppet nest.

Mo Lian suddenly ascended into the air, flying directly above the densely gathered corpse puppets, braving the fierce wind and sand.

He gazed indifferently at the group of corpse puppets below. With a flick of his sleeve, countless streams of dark flames silently ignited within the corpse puppet horde.

Any corpse puppet that came into contact with the black flames shrieked and rolled on the ground. As a result, the black flames spread even more rapidly.

The previously weary soldiers immediately felt a surge of energy upon seeing this scene. The overwhelming number of corpse puppets had already made their hands somewhat weak, but now seeing their Prince's incredible bravery, their confidence surged.

The teams rotated, with elite soldiers possessing higher cultivation levels assigned to the later waves. When it was their turn to enter the fray, the field was a blur of red and blue colors.

Fiery red spiritual energy danced in the hands of the soldiers, interspersed with ice spikes piercing into the corpse puppet horde.

Mo Lian saw that the situation was basically under control. He handed a storage talisman containing the elderly, weak, women, and children to Fu San, instructing him to lead a portion of the exhausted people to retreat first.

"Your Highness must be careful. There are several high-level corpse puppets in the horde that have already injured many people," Fu San cautioned before taking the order and leading his people away.

Mo Lian glanced at Wang Dongping, who was with a group of physicians, urgently attending to the wounded. He saw that Wang Dongping's face already showed extreme fatigue, indicating an excessive expenditure of medicinal power.

"Send the wounded and physicians out first," Mo Lian looked back at Huifeng and instructed again, "Send someone to watch over the Wang Dongping siblings."

"Yes." Huifeng immediately led people to move the wounded.

Mo Lian gazed at the nearly half-eliminated corpse puppets before him and suddenly released hundreds of mechanical figures. "Retreat."

He had the mechanical figures hold off the enemy for a while. The soldiers, having fought for over three hours, were all somewhat exhausted and needed to replenish their strength.

The remaining number of corpse puppets was now less than three thousand, basically no longer a significant threat. It wouldn't be a problem for them to rest briefly and then return to finish the job.

After the retreat horn sounded, all the soldiers retreated in an orderly wave, team after team, moving out of the sandy area.

After retreating more than ten miles from Gray Plain Village, the wind and sand gradually lessened.

Just as everyone was breathing a sigh of relief, over a dozen earth tornadoes suddenly rose from the horizon, chasing after the troops.

Everyone was somewhat stunned at the sight.

"Your Highness!"

"Retreat," Mo Lian said with a stern expression, waving his hand.

He had figured it out: his group might have fallen into an Earth Spirit Grand Formation.

Someone highly skilled had set up a talisman formation here!

That's probably why the previously intact villages were suddenly buried by sand.

However, realizing this now was too late.

The second attack of the Earth Spirit Grand Formation had already been activated...
