Chapter 767: Large Demon Barracks (Second update, requesting everything)

Without hesitation, Li Zhangsheng connected the communication.

The distance between the two was not very far; even though it had been lengthened to slaughter demons, it was still less than twenty miles apart. With Li Zhangsheng's speed, it would not take long to arrive.

Wu Zetao's voice rang out: "I have gathered some news: the Kailing Empire's team is preparing to surround and annihilate a Large Demon Barracks!"

The two small Demon Barracks that Li Zhangsheng had just dealt with only had one Great Demon stationed at each.

Compared to small barracks, the number of demons in a Large Demon Barracks is easily over ten thousand, and the number of Great Demons is likely around ten.

The goal of the Kailing Empire's team was nothing more than wanting to bite off more than they could chew in one go. With so many Great Demons alone, the number of Intermediate Demons and Advanced Demons would undoubtedly be much higher. Once they captured this Large Demon Barracks, they would definitely be able to obtain massive points.

Most importantly, whether it be Great Demons or Intermediate/Advanced Demons, their numbers in the short term were almost fixed. The more the opponent killed, the fewer would remain. This was also the reason why Li Zhangsheng cherished time so much; he had to secure an advantage within a short period.

Wu Zetao contacting Li Zhangsheng was nothing more than wanting to combine the strength of both sides to intercept the Kailing Empire's team. Even if they failed to intercept them in the end, they would at least be able to share in some of the spoils. Firstly, he would gain benefits, and secondly, he would incidentally weaken his biggest imaginary enemy.

However, the naturally cautious Li Zhangsheng still asked: "Is this news accurate?"

If this were a trap intentionally set by the Kailing Empire, or if they were intentionally concealing information—such as a Demon Commander lurking within this Large Demon Barracks—it would be dangerous for them.

"I know your concerns, but rest assured, this news cannot be false. Furthermore, the Kailing Empire's team has already set off toward that Large Demon Barracks. Our goal is not to monopolize it; as long as we can share in some of it, that will be enough!"

Wu Zetao's appetite was not large, which was mainly related to his strength. He did not know Li Zhangsheng's specific strength and subconsciously assumed that Li Zhangsheng's strength was similar to his own.

In Wu Zetao's view, even if he, Li Zhangsheng, and Ning Bizhen—three Top-tier Pseudo-Kings—attacked together, it was not certain they could capture this Large Demon Barracks.

"Alright, let's go over now."

Li Zhangsheng agreed. The communication treasure Wu Zetao had was given by him. When he made this batch of communication treasures, he had secretly done some tricks, such as being able to instantly lock onto the location where Wu Zetao was.

With Li Zhangsheng's refining skills, unless one was also a Refining Master, it was almost impossible to discover.

Li Zhangsheng quickly locked onto Wu Zetao's location and immediately took Ning Bizhen and Zhao Rui to rendezvous.

In just two or three minutes, the two teams met in a canyon, totaling seven people.

Three Top-tier Pseudo-Kings plus four Sixth Rankers—such a combination could be said to be very strong, second only to the Kailing Empire's team.

It was just that compared to the Kailing Empire, their nature was much looser.

"How is the Kailing Empire's team doing?"

"They have already approached that Large Demon Barracks. Let's hurry over, lest we don't even get to drink the soup!"

Under Wu Zetao's lead, the seven people began to venture deeper into the Polluted Land.

This Large Demon Barracks could be said to be one of the outermost ones, so it was no wonder the Kailing Empire's team would set their sights on it.

It must be said that the Kailing Empire also had an advantage in information; they had suppressed this place for over a hundred years and naturally had gathered a large amount of information.

In the process of advancing, Li Zhangsheng relied on the Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing Secret Technique and found the Kailing Empire's team in the blink of an eye.

To avoid being discovered, Li Zhangsheng did not keep staring at them, but instead pricked up his ears and turned on eavesdropping mode.

"... We've scouted it out. That Large Demon Barracks is the same as usual, with a total of ten Great Demons stationed there, plus dozens of Advanced Demons and over ten thousand Intermediate and Low-level demons."

"Very good. When we act in a moment, don't waste energy on the Intermediate and Low-level demons. We must kill the Great Demons and Advanced Demons as much as possible."

Judging by the voice, this was the Kailing Empire's Second Prince, Xiang Yutian, who was also the leader of this team.

"Yes, we guarantee the mission will be completed!"

Hearing this, Li Zhangsheng felt even more at ease.

In the time that followed, the Kailing Empire's team did not continue speaking and arrived at the location of the Large Demon Barracks one step ahead of Li Zhangsheng and the others.

Immediately, the five Pseudo-Kings of the Kailing Empire snuck over, wanting to seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

Although demons were consistently known for being brainless, one could not deny their combat techniques and experience. After all, the Abyss was famously chaotic, and demons spent almost every day in battle, possessing quite rich experience.

Consequently, the demons discovered the Kailing Empire's team in advance and issued a shrill warning signal.

The next moment, ten figures—some massive, some tall, some alluring, some ferocious—rushed out from the center of the barracks, followed closely by dozens of Advanced Demons.

Seeing that the sneak attack had failed, Xiang Yutian and the other four Pseudo-Kings continued to execute the plan, quickly summoning their Demon Beasts and beginning to clash with these demons.

On the other side, the 15 Sixth Rankers of the Kailing Empire also rushed up. They also had a mission, mainly responsible for intercepting those Intermediate and Low-level demons, doing their best to prevent them from disturbing the five Pseudo-Kings.

Although the demons occupied an absolute numerical advantage, the quality of the Kailing Empire's team was clearly higher. Especially when the Great Demons and Demon Beasts were locked in fierce battle, the massive momentum that erupted made the numerous Intermediate and Low-level demons not dare to step forward at all.

Since ancient times, chaos breeds fools, and demons were even more so. Moreover, they were already known for being cruel, cunning, and selfish, and had absolutely no sense of discipline.

Even the most brilliant commander could not meld them together into an army that followed orders; they were simply a pile of loose sand.

In just a few breaths' time, Xiang Yutian and the five Pseudo-Kings went all out, steadily gaining the upper hand.

In terms of top-tier combat power, the gap between the two sides was not large. The number of Great Demons might not be as high as the Demon Beasts of the five Pseudo-Kings, but there were many more Advanced Demons than Lord-level demon pets, which could compensate for the disadvantage in top-tier combat power.

Unfortunately, demons were famously selfish; they could not possibly have a spirit of sacrifice, nor could they entrust their backs to their teammates, which meant they had absolutely no coordination to speak of.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, demons immediately chose to break away from the team and turned to run. They would not care about the life or death of their teammates; as long as they lived comfortably themselves, that was enough.

Once there was a leading demon, others immediately followed in breaking away from the battlefield, and this trend was rapidly expanding.

In just one minute, the situation on the field inevitably became one-sided.
