...

The Tier Four Fission Mushroom, its explosive power greatly enhanced, even gained a secondary explosion.

The thing Lin You lacked most right now was large-scale attack methods, and this Fission Mushroom truly came at the perfect time.

Spending all accumulated magic energy, Lin You gained five more Tier Four species around him.

Including the ones from before, there were now a total of thirty-four, just six short of full recruitment.

And with two days left before the safety period ends, he could make it in time.

With nothing else to do, he didn't stay in the territory.

After a simple preparation, he left the territory with all but six Cannibal Flower Kings, heading toward the distant forest, hoping to try his luck in finding other demon gathering areas.

Meanwhile, as he led the Plant Legion into the forest,

on the other side of the forest, less than three kilometers away, a massive team of over a hundred species surrounded the entrance of a swamp.

"Boss Murong, it's definitely here, the Red-tailed Scorpion's nesting ground."

In the team, a man with downcast eyes spoke to a proud-looking young man beside him.

At this time, there were a total of five people in their team.

Each had over twenty species behind them, with nearly half at Tier Four, totaling about fifty!

The strongest among them was the young man.

Beside him, apart from two Tier Three Angels, the other eighteen were all Tier Four Double-Winged Angels!

This person was none other than Murong Tian, who had recently been highly active in the regional channel and owned Angel Type species.

With the team's advantage, they had already surpassed many, successfully rising to Tier Four, and recruited numerous Tier Four species.

Within the team, only one person had not yet reached Tier Four.

"Make a move, clear this demon gathering ground, and Zhang Yue can reach Tier Four."

Murong Tian glanced at the distant swamp and said indifferently.

Hearing this, Zhang Yue rejoiced immensely, "Thank you, Boss Murong!"

"Oh come on, no need for thanks," Murong Tian waved casually. "Just do your job under me well, and benefits will come your way. Now start preparing."

"Got it!"

With a single response, the other four turned and dispersed to the surroundings.

Under the lead of the Tier Four Angels beside Murong Tian, they charged into the swamp, beginning the scouring of the Red-tailed Scorpions.

Under the blockade of numerous Tier Four species, the Red-tailed Scorpions couldn't resist, collapsing like a mountain.

Before long, the swamp erupted.

A black scorpion, several times larger than a typical Red-tailed Scorpion, suddenly dashed out, emitting a sharp hiss towards them.

"It's the Tier Four Red-tailed Scorpion King! Everyone, be careful!"

The few in battle were startled, becoming alert.

However, before the words had barely fallen, a golden arrow light roared forth.

"Boom!"

The arrow light exploded, piercing through the body of the Red-tailed Scorpion King. The immense force carried the Scorpion King several meters away.

Before it could struggle, other species swarmed in, chopping off its head.

Tier Four demon, killed on the spot!

"As expected of Boss Murong, taking down a Tier Four demon in one shot."

"The Angel Type is truly powerful, beyond what we can compare."

Some subordinates couldn't help but flatter.

If it were them, they would've had to put in a lot of effort to deal with this Red-tailed Scorpion King.

But Murong Tian subjugated the Scorpion King so effortlessly, without losing any forces, showcasing his strength once again.

Their flattering words reached Murong Tian's ears, making him slightly raise his chin, revealing a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a beast's roar from the distance interrupted their conversation.

Everyone, including Murong Tian, changed their expressions, looking towards the direction of the sound.

"Seems like someone is battling demons! Should we go take a look?"

One of them, with a face of surprise and doubt, asked.

"The rest of you stay here to wrap up. I'll go check it out myself."

Confident in his own strength, Murong Tian just gave the instruction and then headed towards the battle site.

The Angels saw this and followed, quickly departing from the swamp with Murong Tian.

When they arrived at the battle site, following the sound, they found the battle already over.

A Tier Three demon lay dead on the ground, with an unfamiliar man nearby, standing with several strange plants they had never seen.

"Huh?"

While handling the corpse, Lin You also noticed Murong Tian and became immediately alert.

Having been too immersed in the battle earlier, he didn't expect others to be nearby, or that he had drawn them over.

Seeing Murong Tian's appearance, Lin You's expression changed too, revealing a hint of surprise.

Wasn't this the guy he briefly sparred with during the last air-dropped treasure chest? How could he be here?

Before he could think more, Murong Tian had already walked over.

"Friend, all alone?"

Unfamiliar with Lin You, Murong Tian's eyes carried a hint of contempt when he saw the plant species beside Lin You.

The weakness of the Plant Type was common knowledge, and having so many Tier Four Angels beside him, he didn't take Lin You seriously at all.

Even his gaze was blatantly assessing, making Lin You frown.

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before questioning others?"

Lin You stood up and said calmly.

Having observed the regional channel for so long, he had heard of Murong Tian's temper and found him every bit as arrogant and dismissive as the rumors suggested.

Moreover, he greatly disliked Murong Tian's gaze, making him very uncomfortable.

This undisguised discomfort fell into Murong Tian's eyes, making him squint slightly.

"Oh? Then how should I introduce myself? Like this?"

As his voice trailed off, the Angel beside him suddenly drew its bow, shooting an arrow at Lin You.

"Whoosh——"

The arrow was swift, even glinting with light, reaching Lin You in the blink of an eye, clearly intending to probe him.

Unfortunately, Murong Tian misjudged Lin You's strength.

The golden arrow was promptly ensnared by vines as it reached Lin You, falling from the air. Lingxi, who had been hiding behind other plants, finally revealed herself and flew to Lin You's side.

At Lingxi's appearance, the Angels beside Murong Tian stirred.

"Is that your way of saying hello?"

Lin You watched Murong Tian coldly, eyes filled with killing intent.

Though just a test, the previous arrow was far from reserved. If he hadn't been strong enough, the outcome might have been different.

Murong Tian seemed surprised that his attack failed so easily.

He took a long look at Lingxi beside Lin You but didn't notice the Angels' restlessness, nor did he care.

After all, no matter how strong the Plant Type got, it couldn't be stronger than his Angel Legion.

Seeing his plan exposed, he dropped the pretense and said disdainfully, "Unlucky for you to bump into me. Hand over the magic energy, and maybe I'll spare your life."

"Oh? Really?"

Lin You laughed, a joyful laugh, before suddenly turning cold.

Vines surged from the grass and trees around him!
