Though those NPCs had received fire support from their Main City, what kind of strength did Zhou Tian possess? Even if he held some apprehension towards the magic crystal weapons wielded by the other side, if he truly intended to take action, he wouldn’t be affected by those magic crystal weapons at all.
As a result, considering the situation at the time, Zhou Tian, in order to preserve some of the NPC elites, not only set up an ambush, but without the NPCs realizing, Zhou Tian’s original body even directly blended with his group of Clone Bodies. In the end, just when those NPC elites thought they could safely retreat, Zhou Tian suddenly leaped from the shadows, unleashing an attack on the group of NPC elites right then and there.
"Stay put!" Zhou Tian, who suddenly appeared, directly inserted himself into the NPC team, allowing about a third of the NPC elites to escape, and directly blocked the remaining two thirds right there.
In the very first moment of his appearance, Zhou Tian casually struck down a Domain Level NPC who was already injured. Then, unfolding his Personal world, a vast number of cloned Beastmen poured out, surrounding the NPCs while Zhou Tian seized the opportunity to fade back into the shadows.
"Quick, run!" Whether it was the strength demonstrated by Zhou Tian or that collection of Beastmen clones spawned by his ability, they were completely beyond what the NPCs could handle. Therefore, after Zhou Tian made his move, the NPCs knew all too well that they had no chance of survival. In the face of certain death, the NPCs didn’t call for help from their compatriots who had managed to escape but instead shouted for them to hurry away. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
It was probably not the first time those NPCs had faced a situation like this; knowing they might be left behind by Zhou Tian at any moment, the NPCs were aware that there was no time for dawdling. So, without the farewells often seen on TV, upon hearing the words of their rear tribespeople, the NPCs paused for a moment before accelerating towards the Main City even faster.
Zhou Tian deliberately let some NPCs go because he wasn’t sure he could capture all of them. Thus, according to the situation at that time, Zhou Tian had already intended to let those NPCs off the hook, so when they retreated, they naturally wouldn’t encounter any danger. As a result, given the NPCs’ speed, it didn’t take long for them to return to the Main City.
And at the very first opportunity upon the return of that group of NPC elites to the Main City, those NPCs immediately launched retaliatory actions against Zhou Tian.
The NPCs in the city had not taken action before simply because they were afraid Zhou Tian might strike at their tribespeople who had escaped back. Under these circumstances, they had been forcibly restraining themselves from intervening in the combat outside the city. Now that the tribespeople capable of retreating had done so, and those who hadn’t were unlikely to survive, those NPCs, having suffered such a great loss at the hands of Zhou Tian, how could they not retaliate against Zhou Tian. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Subsequently, under the situation at that time, as the NPC elites returned, the magic crystal weapons of the NPC Main City immediately opened fire, bombarding Zhou Tian and his Clone Bodies outside the city.
"Boom, boom, boom!" A series of explosions erupted. When the magic crystal weapons of the NPC Main City had to cease their attack due to overheating, not only had Zhou Tian’s created cloned Beastmen vanished outside the city, but also all of the tribespeople from before lay at Zhou Tian’s hand.
Clearly, even though the NPCs’ retaliation did have some effect on Zhou Tian, in the end, he still managed to achieve his goal. Using his strength, which was just a notch above his opponent’s, he successfully annihilated that group of NPCs.
Looking at the final outcome, it was undeniably Zhou Tian who emerged victorious from the confrontation. After all, Zhou Tian’s series of actions had caused the NPCs to lose a majority of their Domain elites, and the Magic Crystals likely depleted a significant portion of their stock. Just based on this change alone, the NPCs wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer against Zhou Tian.
Merely through a casually executed tactic, Zhou Tian caused severe damage to the NPC side, and he wasn’t dissatisfied with the outcome. Therefore, after the battle proceeded to that point, he then had a new course of action in mind.
Zhou Tian had no intention of engaging in a drawn-out war with those NPCs. The only reason he hadn’t previously attacked the NPC Main City was due to his cautiousness. Had it not been for that, given Zhou Tian’s strength, directly overtaking that Main City, though risky, was not impossible.
Thus, based on the situation at the time, if there was no chance to deal with those NPCs, Zhou Tian might have tolerated a little longer to avoid accidents. However, now that he saw an opportunity, there was no way Zhou Tian could restrain himself.
But did Zhou Tian have a chance to capture that NPC Main City now?
Of course, there was still some hope because the NPCs, in order to provide support to the outer NPC Team and to retaliate against Zhou Tian, had already been attacking Zhou Tian for a considerably long time. Consequently, due to the situation at the time, their magic crystal weapons were already somewhat overused. In such a situation, even if the NPC side still had enough Magic Crystals, it is estimated that they would not be able to use those magic crystal weapons in the short term.
