Chapter 3112

Through Su Qin's night vision and far-sight spiritual technique, Zhao Chi could see several kilometers around.

In the deep distance, pinpricks of light could be seen, scattered irregularly across the surroundings.

Those were the outer scouts; some were closer, only a few hundred meters away — they were the inner scouts, the final warning line.

Some were much farther, several kilometers out — those were the outer scouts, the true reconnaissance personnel.

Most of the scouts advanced in the dark, silently guarding the safety of the main force through the night.

But a few carried torches or spirit-energy lamps, advancing tensely and with great care.

They were all bait — the light was also meant to draw attention.

Of course, they were all powerful lords as well; weak lords couldn't take on this kind of mission.

The light around them was brighter.

All the lords nearby held torches or spirit-energy lamps; countless beams of light wove together, illuminating an area of nearly a hundred meters around them, while also casting a great many shadows that swayed ceaselessly on the ground with each step forward.

Perhaps this is what they call "shadows flickering thick and thin."

The torchlight was extremely bright, the flames almost white.

Zhao Chi recognized at a glance that they were torches made from his own ultra-bright fire oil.

The dense light sources lit up the surrounding area as bright as day, and the lords' expressions could be seen clearly.

It wasn't only firelight.

Yao Feng and all the lords had a soft, lustrous blue light shimmering over them — faint, but very visible.

This was the energy of a formation, meant to prevent sneak attacks from enemies.

Once an enemy entered, they would be pulled directly into the Territory World for a territory battle.

Even if struck by a long-range spiritual technique, they could be teleported into the territory in an instant, ensuring absolute safety.

The only downside was that it consumed a massive amount of formation energy.

But now that the decisive battle was at hand, this was no time to be stingy — it had to be used.

The instant Su Qin appeared, the blue light quickly enveloped and protected her as well.

A whooshing sound came from the sky.

At first it sounded like wind.

But in fact it was over a hundred griffins and dragonhawks flying overhead, spread across the vast, pitch-black night sky, nearly perfectly concealed.

Fortunately Su Qin had night vision; otherwise they would only have heard the commotion without seeing them.

Reconnaissance personnel sat on their backs as well — all likely possessing various scouting abilities, such as Eagle Eye, Inspect, and so on. They flew high and saw far.

Beyond these, there seemed to be venom wyverns and two-headed dragons in the high sky as well. Zhao Chi didn't recognize them well, but they were certainly dragon-kind, circling and gliding at an even greater height.

Summoning dragon-kind behemoths like these in the Greater World consumed a fair amount of formation energy, but they did indeed provide considerable protection — summoning a small number was worthwhile and necessary.
