Chapter 960 - 960 Need to Change the Situation

960 Need to Change the Situation

At this moment, the morale of Team Lighthouse was visibly shaken.

After all, from their perspective, being a well-established territory within the Wind Barrier for over two years, they didn’t expect to face such difficulty in dealing with a newly established territory like Origin Territory.

However, since the battle commenced in the Hallucinatory Forest, Team Lighthouse had faced constant setbacks and failures.

They encountered various ambushes, followed by encounters with the Withered Tree Spirit, and then fell victim to the ambushes by Team Origin and Liu Yan. It was truly a difficult situation for Team Lighthouse.

The casualties they suffered were already significant, and it had been a while since Team Lighthouse had experienced such a level of loss.

“Is Team Origin really this strong? How can a new territory pose such a formidable challenge to us?”

“They could even withstand our attack for so long and inflicted substantial damage upon us.”

“You can’t say that. It’s mainly due to Liu Yan’s terrifying strength. Team Origin, in reality, isn’t that formidable.”

“So, should we continue this battle? I have a feeling that venturing deeper into the Hallucinatory Forest will only lead to more unforeseen challenges.”

The members of Team Lighthouse were discussing among themselves, expressing their concerns in hushed voices.

Meanwhile, in the central area, the core members of Team Lighthouse, including captain Luo Feng, were discussing the situation.

“Captain, as you can see, the morale of our squads has been significantly affected, and they are expressing their grievances,” one of the core members addressed captain Luo Feng.

“It’s not that we haven’t encountered failures before, but this is the first time we’ve experienced such a pathetic failure.”

“Captain, should we continue?”

“Team Origin seems to have considerable strength, especially Liu Yan. He’s truly terrifying. Continuing the battle might not be favorable for Team Lighthouse.”

“I never expected a Team Origin to be able to withstand us!”

Luo Feng listened to the discussions among the core members of Team Lighthouse. Most of them had low morale and doubted whether they could win this battle. Luo Feng’s expression immediately became ugly.

“That’s enough!”

Luo Feng interrupted them, “Do you all have to do this? In the end, they have only relied on various ambushes. Team Origin won’t be able to cause us much harm, primarily because of that Liu Yan. I was careless just now, but the next time we encounter him, I will deal with him! An awakened with an 18-star combat strength is no match for me!”

Upon hearing Luo Feng’s words, the expressions of the core members of Team Lighthouse became much better.

After all, they had witnessed Luo Feng’s immense power firsthand.

Even though Liu Yan was formidable, they didn’t consider him a match for captain Luo Feng!

Although Team Lighthouse had encountered many setbacks, they were still an old team after all. They had experienced all kinds of battles and trials, so their psychological quality was unquestionable.

After receiving guidance from their respective captains, Team Lighthouse quickly regrouped and regained their morale, setting off once again.

Huang Yuan glanced at Luo Feng, who seemed focused in the distance and secretly chuckled to himself.

Huang Yuan had heard about the incident at Flaming Mountain where Luo Feng and the other experts had let Liu Yan escape right under their noses.

This indicated that Liu Yan had some tricks up his sleeve, and Huang Yuan fully believed that although Liu Yan’s strength might be inferior to Luo Feng’s, he wouldn’t be at a disadvantage relying on those tricks.

Even Huang Yuan himself couldn’t understand why he had such confidence in Liu Yan, someone he had never met before.

With these thoughts in mind, Huang Yuan quickly gave instructions to his team members, advising them to refrain from rushing too far ahead during the upcoming battle. They didn’t need to engage in a life-or-death struggle with Team Origin.

Although Huang Yuan was unsure of his own choices, he believed it was better to observe and wait.

As for his squad members, Huang Yuan had complete trust in them.

These team members not only hailed from the Blue Planet like Huang Yuan, but they had also been teammates before, having faced life-and-death situations together. They had developed a strong sense of mutual trust.

Compared to Lu Dajiang’s squad, Huang Yuan’s team had more experience in field training and executing missions. As a result, they had less interaction with the Lakonian and didn’t have as close a relationship. However, their unity remained strong.

Before long, Team Lighthouse encountered an ambush by Team Origin once again.

They faced a series of traps, followed by a relentless assault from numerous Withered Tree Spirits from all directions.

And finally, they found themselves in an ambush by three squads from Team Origin.

This time, it was the first, fourth, and fifth squads of Team Origin.

However, Team Lighthouse had learned from their previous experience and was well-prepared. They had already set up their formation and remained calm when they encountered the ambush. They tightened their formation, organized their defense, and were ready to counterattack at any moment!

In the sky, Liu Yan, equipped with the SSS-grade special equipment Wings of the Wind God, flew overhead, observing the situation on the ground.

Liu Yan wasn’t surprised by the current battle situation.

After all, Team Lighthouse had abundant combat experience, even more so than Team Origin.

Using the same tactics for the second time against Team Lighthouse would undoubtedly yield diminished results.

With Team Lighthouse’s preparations, it would be challenging for Team Origin to impede their progress significantly.

In the previous ambush, Team Origin initially managed to launch an attack against Team Lighthouse, but eventually, Team Lighthouse regained their formation and began a counteroffensive.

However, this time, Team Lighthouse quickly stabilized their formation and immediately launched a counterattack.

Despite being the ambushing party, Team Origin quickly found themselves in a defensive position and started to defend themselves.

Especially this time, the three squads from Team Origin, compared to the three squads from the previous time, had slightly weaker combat strength, making it even more difficult for Team Origin.

In addition, Liu Yan also noticed that the experts from Team Lighthouse were highly dispersed this time.

Unlike the previous encounter, where the majority of Team Lighthouse’s experts gathered around Luo Feng, making it was easier for Liu Yan to restrict both Luo Feng and the other Team Lighthouse experts simultaneously.

In the current situation, with the scattered positioning, Liu Yan naturally found it difficult to restrain so many experts from Team Lighthouse.

Liu Yan frowned slightly. He knew that the situation was not good.

However, Liu Yan and the experts of Team Origin had already predicted this situation.

However, Liu Yan could only proceed with the plan at hand.

After all, if Liu Yan didn’t act swiftly, Luo Feng would inevitably attack the members of Team Origin.

And with Luo Feng’s formidable 19-star combat strength, the members of Team Origin would be unable to withstand his assault and would suffer immediate casualties.

With this in mind, Liu Yan quickly descended to a lower altitude and took immediate action.

He initiated the S-grade skill, Prison of Giant Trees.

A large amount of wood attribute elemental powers converged, and the dense wood attribute elemental powers directly materialized into a massive wooden attribute cage, restraining Luo Feng and some members of Team Lighthouse who were around him.

Luo Feng, who was restrained, remained unsurprised. He calmly glanced at Liu Yan and then launched a full-force attack against the Prison of Giant Trees.

Meanwhile, the other members of Team Lighthouse paid no attention to the situation. They were busy with their attacks.

Especially the experts from Team Lighthouse, their attacks proved to be notably effective against the members of Team Origin.
