After analyzing this, Li Jia Yi felt he had been foolish. He had only thought about stopping the two strongest.
Now it seemed the two Iron Blood Warriors were the ones who should be stopped, otherwise, the move of directly recalling items into their inventory was unsolvable.
Hamil suddenly said, "May I interject?"
Bai Ye asked in confusion, "Hmm?"
Hamil said, "I can bypass the need for visual obstruction and forcefully subdue one, but it can only be the woman."
Li Jia Yi asked, "What do you mean?"
Hamil explained, "Vampire's Kiss. You can understand the effect as charm. For three minutes, that woman will be trapped in her own world of fantasy."
Li Jia Yi's eyes lit up. "Three minutes is enough to kill her seventeen or eighteen times."
"Are you dreaming?" Hamil glanced at Li Jia Yi. "Wouldn't that make me invincible?"
Li Jia Yi was stunned again. Right, if he had this ability, he'd be unstoppable.
Hamil didn't want to expose his abilities too much, so he spoke vaguely, "It can probably only be used on females. And after charming them, when the target is trapped in their own mental world, any attack will be ineffective. There's also a slight side effect: after three minutes, the target's mental attributes will be temporarily boosted by 25%."
Li Jia Yi scoffed, "What good is that?"
"You're the one with no good," Bai Ye retorted. "He locks down one, freeing himself up to restrain another. He can stall two, isn't that better than you?"
Li Jia Yi was about to argue, but as the words reached his lips, he realized Bai Ye's point was very valid.
Hamil could stall two.
Bai Ye was responsible for destroying the Sky Eye Wave-Sensing Tactical Vehicle.
Was he, Li Jia Yi, really the most useless?
This didn't make sense!
Bai Ye decisively declared, "Hamil, subdue Bai Lu, and then hold off one Iron Blood Warrior. You, Li Jia Yi, draw another into your domain!"
Li Jia Yi questioned, "You're going after Situ Chicheng again? Can you handle it?"
"Has he ever beaten me?" Bai Ye curled his lips. "Situ Chicheng can hardly use technological products. If Bai Lu is subdued, and you draw someone into your domain space, they can't recall their inventory items. That leaves only one, and it's down to luck."
As Bai Ye spoke, he patted Li Jia Yi's shoulder.
"Actually, it's highly likely to be the two Iron Blood Warriors, a 50% chance. So, it mainly depends on your luck, whether you can draw the one holding the tactical vehicle into your domain."
"If you guess right, you'll complete your mission. If you guess wrong, you'll be the sinner."
Li Jia Yi sneered, "So I never get the good end? Am I always the scapegoat, or on the way to being one?"
"Enough talk," Hamil said, glancing at the light screen. "They're charging."
It had been almost an hour since Bai Ye summoned the demon army. Situ Chicheng and the other three finally realized something was wrong; the duration seemed too long.
Thus, Situ Chicheng, having figured it out, decisively gave the order to charge, to leave this area.
This was a drawback of the "Myriad Demons March" ability: the summoned demon army could not leave the summoning area.
In fact, the Demon Summoning Banner had two effects for summoning monsters.
The first effect, "Summon Demons," allowed various summoned monsters to assist Bai Ye in battle and follow him.
The second effect, "Myriad Demons March," summoned stronger and more numerous monsters. Furthermore, they wouldn't disappear unless killed, but they could only act within the designated summoning area.
It was hard to say which was better; it depended on the situation.
As it stood, with Situ Chicheng and the others changing their strategy to charge, the "Myriad Demons March" would no longer be able to hold them back. With the strength of Situ Chicheng and the other three, it wouldn't be difficult to break through.
Li Jia Yi stated, "Let's do as we discussed. Let's go, prepare to move."
Time was pressing, and the brief discussion couldn't yield any better strategies, so Li Jia Yi was decisive.
Bai Ye waved his hand. "You two go first. I'll enter directly."
Li Jia Yi nodded, handing Hamil a talisman. "Stick this on you. It can eliminate your scent. I don't know if they have any tracking methods, but it's better to be safe!"
Hamil nodded, took the talisman, and stuck it to his chest. Then, he followed Li Jia Yi out of the container.
After they left, Bai Ye looked at the projection on the blood-red light screen.
At times like this, one had to appreciate the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit. Look at Li Jia Yi and Hamil, they had to sneak around, while Bai Ye could just transform into lightning and enter.
This showed that the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit wasn't just in combat offense and defense; it encompassed many other aspects.
...
About fifteen minutes later.
Situ Chicheng and the other three finally broke out of the area covered by the demon army.
Looking back, the demon army was ferocious, still baring its fangs and claws at them, but it did not leave the area.
"So it was an area-coverage continuous attack," one of the Iron Blood Warriors said, taking a deep breath. "If we had known, we should have charged out directly. Perhaps we could have kept those few people occupied."
"It's fine," Bai Lu said. "They can't escape. We'll use the old method."
Situ Chicheng urged, "Hurry up. In another half hour, there will only be two days left until the wish mission closes. At our current pace, we might not be able to complete the mission."
Bai Lu frowned. "Or, should we change targets? The Vampire Prince's super-regeneration is too strong. If we had endured the night, we should have succeeded. Now, with this disruption, the target's injuries should have completely recovered."
Another Iron Blood Warrior cursed, "If it weren't for that idiot Lin Bei running off to get himself killed, using his lightning to paralyze the target and weaken its speed, why would we be in such a predicament?"
Situ Chicheng said, "There's no point in talking about it now. Let's find them first."
With Situ Chicheng's command, the others stopped talking.
One of the Iron Blood Warriors directly summoned a vehicle from his inventory.
If Bai Ye were present, he would definitely exclaim: "Jinbei is eternal, the minivan lasts forever."
That Sky Eye Wave-Sensing Tactical Vehicle turned out to be a minivan, a classic Jinbei model.
However, after the Iron Blood Warrior pressed a button on a remote control, the car roof slowly opened, and two signal receivers rose up.
Simultaneously, the trunk opened, revealing a very high-tech metal cabinet. The cabinet sprang open, revealing tiered drawers, each containing a miniature robot no bigger than a fingernail.
As the Iron Blood Warrior manipulated the remote control, the miniature robots all flew out, forming a dense swarm, like a bee colony.
Upon receiving the next command, the miniature robots instantly dispersed, heading towards various parts of the city.
