The current situation is a bit subtle, the Karan Empire currently has an advantage in terms of numbers. Even if they don't do anything, as long as they wait for another month, the Karan Empire will be able to steadily take first place. However, the other three teams all have five people, which is not much different from Karan, and with the remaining elite individuals, it's really hard to say who will ultimately get first place.
Kasha had shut her mouth, but the gaze of the three major empires always made Kasha feel inexplicably panicked. Thinking that the three major empires might join forces, one country against three countries, even with Yunfeng, there wouldn't be much chance of winning.
"Summoner?" Mu Qing of the Ao Wei Empire said in a low voice, his gaze fixed on Xiao Huo and Lan Yi. Xiao Huo was in its pure demonic beast form, while Lan Yi still had its pair of wings behind it. The two beasts were clearly not human, and the fact that they could appear here in such a peaceful state could only mean one thing... The Kalan Empire had summoners.
The three major empires all saw it clearly, and Kasen almost bit his teeth to pieces beside him. Summoner, the Kalan Empire actually had a summoner! The birth of the Kalan Empire's summoner means that the pattern of the Eastern Continent must change. Without a summoner, Aowei and Shengyao will be left far behind.
Mu Qing and Xiao Xiao both furrowed their brows, their gazes sweeping towards Yun Feng in unison. Xiao Huo and Lan Yi stood by Yun Feng's side, it was clear at a glance who the summoner was, Yun Feng wasn't wearing a contract ring, otherwise he would have become the focus of attention long ago.
"Two of them! The Karan Empire currently has six people, while our three countries only have five each. Moreover, the Karan side also has a summoner, don't you two think we should do something about it?" Kasen said to Mu Qing and Xiao Xiao. As soon as he spoke, the provocative meaning was obvious, Kasha's face changed immediately, "Kasen! What do you mean?"
Kasen smiled gloomily, "Kasha, you're still as foolish as ever. This time, Karan will be a thorn in everyone's eyes and a stab to their flesh!"
"Y...". Kasha was so angry that she couldn't speak. Mu Qing and Xiao Xiao didn't say a word, now is the time for them to take sides, whether to join forces with Jia Ye to defeat Ka Lan first, or be neutral, or unite with Ka Lan to drive Jia Ye out first.
The two of them fell silent for a long time, and Kasen grew impatient. As long as these two great empires joined hands with him, Karan's fate would be sealed, and it would be easy to deal with the next two empires! As long as the advantage of the Karan Empire remained, or more precisely, as long as Yun Feng was around, the chances of victory for the Kasen Empire would never exceed one-half!
Kasen's mind was still harboring another plan... He must take this opportunity to kill Yun Feng here! Forcing her out of the competition was secondary, killing her to maintain Kasen's absolute advantage in the Eastern Continent was the most important thing! Kasen's summoner had spent a lot of blood and effort for this Four Nations Competition, and his strength had been damaged. And Yun Feng's natural talent was already extraordinary, if she were allowed to grow up, Kalan would become the overlord of the Eastern Continent, which was something that the Kasen Empire absolutely could not allow!
Kasen is calculating on this side, Xiao Xiao and Mu Qing are not fools either, of course they won't be emotional like Kasha. Both of them calmly analyze the situation in front of them, which is unfavorable to both parties no matter who stands where. Only when these two teams coexist can they be safe. Xiao Xiao and Mu Qing exchange a glance, both understanding each other's thoughts. Xiao Xiao smiles slightly, "Kasen, how Kala is has nothing to do with us. Jia Ye is afraid that Kala's transcendence will drag us in, but we're not your free hitmen."
Mu Qing also casually threw out a sentence: "My views are the same as hers, you can fight if you want to."
In this way, Sheng Yao and Ao Wei stood together, forming a triangular confrontation. Jia Ye and Ka Lan couldn't easily make a move either. After a fierce battle between the two, there would definitely be losses on both sides. The four teams were already evenly matched, but in the end, it was Sheng Yao and Ao Wei who would benefit from watching the fight. Jiasen understood this point, let out a cold hum, and though his heart burned with anger, he didn't dare make any moves.
Yun Feng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, Ao Wei and Sheng Yao's two people were indeed smart enough to know how to protect themselves at this time. However, Yun Feng also understood that not making a move now didn't mean it would stay that way until the end of the competition. After all, the other three major empires wouldn't let Karan get first place easily.
Hei Wan glanced around the surroundings, and Yun Feng only then took a good look. The location they were currently in was a huge square, empty of anything on its surface, with one side being a dead end, while the other three sides had several entrances, exactly where they had just come from. Should they return by the original route? Yun Feng furrowed his brow and thought for a moment, if they made any moves now, it was hard to predict what the other three empires would do, so it was better not to make any moves.
People from other empires are also curiously sizing up this place, what is the purpose of this huge square? Why do people from all four countries come here? After careful observation, Kasha shrugged and said, "Since there's nothing here and it's a dead end, let's go."
Yun Feng's dark eyes swept over her, unmoving, and the others didn't move either. Kasha saw this and couldn't help but get anxious, "What do you mean? Are we going to wait here to be beaten? What if the three countries change their minds and unite, then it'll be us who suffer!"
Yun Feng smiled and said, "Since Your Highness is so afraid, why don't you go first?"
Kasha's face turned red, "I'm not afraid! I'm just considering the overall situation!"
Yun Feng's expression turned cold, "Consider the overall situation? The current situation is that staying here is the wisest choice! There are still unknown traps and dangers in this maze, can you be sure that not a single one of us will be missing in the next month?"
"But if I stay here..."
"Although staying here is also risky, we still have a greater chance of winning. Moreover, they won't attack easily, so we may still be able to get the first place. If we leave and lose one person along the way, our chances will be gone." Yunsheng analyzed calmly on the side, the advantage of the Kalan Empire was only one person's head, plus the summoner Yunfeng.
Kasha pursed her lips and stopped speaking. The four empires each occupied a corner, with several people gathered together, seemingly determined to wait it out here. Rather than being a blindly wandering team, it's better to be a calm onlooker; from this vantage point, you can clearly see everyone else's movements, making it easier to make the most suitable decision for yourself.
At the exit of the maze, the four national royal families who had been waiting here for two months were also clear in their hearts. The people who abandoned their rights from the four major empires have all come out safely, and are considered to have admitted defeat. According to the rules, the Kalan Empire is slightly ahead, and although Kair seems to be calm on the surface, he is actually full of pride in his heart. Although the Kalan Empire only leads by one person, with Yunfeng present and the Summoner existing, does the Kalan Empire not have a chance of winning this time?
The other three empires didn't look much more disappointed, after all, the leading advantage was tiny, and as long as the situation changed a bit, it was hard to say who would be in the lead again. The mentality of the four empires was basically the same, so he smiled and asked Bi Xing, who was standing beside him, "Old friend, what are you thinking? Are you wondering like me which country will be first this time?"
On the side, Bi Xing, who had been silent all along, still had an expressionless face. He was originally short and thin, and with a square face that was serious to the extreme, he looked like a cold and hard stone. The corners of Bi Xing's mouth moved slightly, but he still didn't speak.
He smiled as if it was nothing, he and Bi Xing really were old friends. The Mercenary Guild and the Magic Guild had actually interacted a lot, their relationship was also very subtle. Zheng Ran cast his gaze towards the exit of the abandoned labyrinth, there was still a month's time left, what would happen inside again?
In the depths of the abandoned labyrinth, a huge square has been left for half a month, and there is still another half month before the curtain falls on this four-country championship. Currently, the four major empires are all pressing their troops not to move, which is naturally a good phenomenon for Kalan, after all, the advantage is in his favor, as long as he can safely pass the remaining half month, Kalan will win first place.
"Your Highness, what to do? If it goes on like this..." The Kass Empire was already at its wit's end. Kasen leaned against the wall, his face had darkened significantly over the past half month. As time continued to pass, the fire burning in Kasen's heart grew larger, his gaze fell upon Aoi and Seiya, both of whom wore calm and collected expressions, Kasen couldn't help but grit his teeth.
"Damn it, pretend!" cursed a sentence, Kasen's eyes flashed with ruthless color, "The other two empires don't matter! Now we can no longer afford to delay!"
"But, Your Majesty, there are no magical beasts here..." a warrior whispered. They all knew something about Gersen's methods. The prince could control magical beasts, although he wasn't a true summoner, it was already quite formidable.
"Are you blind?! Isn't it there?!" The female magician who had been following Kasen suddenly curled her lips into a smile, and everyone's gaze shifted to the Karan Empire, where Yun Feng stood beside Lan Yue and Xiao Huo.
"But... isn't that a summoned beast from the Summoner's Contract... this..."
"What about the contract beast? Can still be snatched away!" Kasen sneered, his gaze sweeping over Xiao Huo and Lan Yi's bodies. The transformed human man didn't seem to be much of a threat, not compared to that massive Fire Cloud Wolf... Kasen had made up his mind, the Kasen Empire was already starting to take action.
Within this fortnight, Yun Feng once again carefully examined the square. The square deep in the maze must not be just for show, there must be something to it. Xiao Huo and Lan Yi also carefully sensed their surroundings, but the two did not discover anything out of the ordinary, however, they faintly felt a sense of oppression, which was also part of the magical beast's sixth sense. The two transmitted this feeling to Yun Feng through their minds, although they didn't know if this sixth sense was accurate or not, Yun Feng also quietly became vigilant about this place, feeling that it was very strange, an extremely discordant feeling rising from within Yun Feng's heart.
The next morning, Kasha felt a bit stifled and wanted to go for a walk, but was stopped by Yun Feng. It wasn't wise to be wandering around at this time, but Kasha's princess temperament rose up, and Yun Feng didn't bother arguing with her, letting Mu Rong Yun Tian accompany her instead. Letting an idiot out alone would require someone to keep an eye on them, Kasha thought to herself, feeling a thrill of excitement. Mu Rong Yun Tian was somewhat unwilling, but also obeyed Yun Feng's arrangements. Unbeknownst to everyone, the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Kalan Empire had quietly settled onto Yun Feng's shoulders, and even Kasha had tacitly acknowledged it.
"Yun Tian, why have you been keeping your distance from me lately?" Kasha asked, walking slowly alongside Murong Yun Tian. Murong Yun Tian didn't respond, pursing his lips tightly. As soon as Kasha saw this, she immediately tried to get closer, but Murong Yun Tian deliberately kept a certain distance between them. Kasha's face fell at the sight.
"Do you like Yun Feng?" Kasha asked in a low voice, her face lowered so that her expression couldn't be seen. Murong Yuntian neither denied nor admitted it, still maintaining the same silence as before. Kasha slightly turned her head and saw the smile at the corner of Murong Yuntian's mouth, that gentle smile piercing Kasha's eyes like a thorn.
"Bang!" Two people suddenly appeared out of nowhere, one of whom collided with Kasha. Murong Yuntian stretched out his hand to slightly support Kasha, then immediately withdrew it.
"You bumped into someone, don't you know how to apologize?" A voice rang out. Mu Rongyun's dark eyes scanned, and it just so happened that the two people they met were from the Kalpa Empire. The girl in front of him with her nose in the air was none other than the magician from the Kalpa Empire.
Kasha hung her head and didn't speak, Murong Yuntian stepped forward, "Sorry, bumped into you." Murong Yuntian had a number in his heart, the other party was intentionally picking a fight, if he could avoid it, he would avoid it, but how could the female magician let them off so easily. Her eyes were sizing up Murong Yuntian's body.
"Hey, take a closer look and it turns out to be Princess Kasha of the Kalan Empire! You handsome guy, are you the princess's lover?" The female magician joked, and the warrior from the Gaya Empire next to her burst out laughing, chiming in: "I don't think so, or they wouldn't be standing so far apart."
The female magician looked at her with a hint of sarcasm and said, "You're right, being a princess isn't all that great. You can't get anything you want, not even a handsome guy, who would rather stay thousands of miles away from you."
"Have you had enough to say?!" Mu Rong Yun Tian's handsome face sank, his black eyes brewing with a hint of coldness. The two from the Kalpa Empire didn't stop at all, continuing to fan the flames, "This handsome guy isn't the princess's lover, he must have some relationship with that summoner!"
"You..." Murong Yuntian's face was slightly uncomfortable, and this subtle expression was caught by Kasha beside him. Kasha remained silent, not opening her mouth, which was somewhat unlike her style. In fact, the volcano in Kasha's heart was about to erupt. The slight sarcasm earlier had already stirred up the volcano, making it extremely hot. Adding Murong Yuntian's reaction, Kasha suddenly had a twisted idea in her mind - why not take this opportunity to use Jia Ye's hand to kill Yun Feng! That way, Yun Tian would be completely hers! And no one would dare look down on her like Yun Feng did! If she couldn't win first place this time, she could make plans for next time. An evil thought rose quietly in Kasha's heart - wasn't she the princess of the Kalan royal family? What thing couldn't she get?
Jealousy has completely blinded Kasha's rationality, and now she is stimulated by the thorn in her heart, making her a bit crazy. She just wants to take revenge on Yun Feng, letting her suffer more and more. As for other things, they have been completely thrown behind her mind. If Kai, who was waiting outside, knew Kasha's thoughts, he would have had the idea of killing her.
Kasha's mind was made up, and without another word, a fiery element flashed into her palm. "Fire Arrow!" A blazing arrow suddenly appeared, and the female magician's eyes widened as she raised her hands. "Earth Shield!" In an instant, the fire arrow was completely blocked by the earth shield, transforming into a scattering of crimson elemental fragments that drifted through the air.
Kasha's move shocked everyone, Yun Feng cursed in a low voice, "Fool!" and quickly flashed over. On the other side of the Kalos Empire, Kesen smiled smugly. Indeed, provoking Kasha was the wisest choice, as five people from the Kalos Empire rushed over immediately. Ao Wei and Sheng Yao exchanged a look, Xiao Xiao sneered with a smile, "Fight on, fight on, I knew you couldn't hold back."
On the side of Ao Wei, Mu Qing looked at the two teams that were about to engage in battle and slightly curled up a smile. "Jia Ye and Ka Lan, it would be best if they both suffered losses."
Auo Wei and Sheng Yao sat on a mountain watching tigers fight, Jia Sen rushed over, his face was full of anger, "What's going on?"
"Your Highness, it was Kala who made the first move!" The female magician said, and indeed that was the case. It was Kasha who had acted first. Gason suppressed the pride in his heart. Yun Feng and others also rushed over, Xiao Huo and Lan Yi naturally followed beside them. Gason looked at Xiao Huo, a certain place in his heart quietly warmed up.
"It was I who made the first move, how about it?" Kasha raised her head and gave Gason a cold smile. Gason burst out laughing as soon as he saw this, his face filled with a sinister expression, "So to speak, is Karan going to declare war on Gaya now?"
"So what?"
"Kasha!" Yun Feng shouted, Kasha slowly turned her head, "Yun Feng, I am the captain, shut up."
Yun Feng saw a hint of madness in Kasha's eyes and was taken aback. Although Kasha was an idiot, she should have understood the situation by now. Hadn't she received some kind of stimulation? Knowing it was someone else's provocation, why did she still rush to collide with the gun muzzle?
"Are you the captain? I really can't tell." Kasen looked up and down at Kasha a few times, "I think she does have the demeanor of a captain." Kasen glanced at Yun Feng, and people from the Jia Ye Empire also nodded in agreement. Yun Feng slightly narrowed his black eyes, "Kasen, stirring up trouble is your specialty, isn't it?"
Kasen burst out laughing, "This is all obvious, anyone with eyes can see it, I suppose Karan's people also think so."
Kasha's face turned completely black, and before everyone could react, the fire element in her palm condensed again. "Fire Arrow!" The Fire Arrow flashed out instantly, and a wave of fiery red elements beckoned to go. Kasen laughed secretly in his heart, foolish Karan, take the bait!
"Fight, no mercy!" Kasen shouted loudly, and several people from the Kasha Empire instantly drew their own weapons. Two warriors had already rushed towards Kasa, while the female magician's magic also beckoned at the same time, the three of them wanting to finish off Kasa in one move!
"Earth Shield!" Yun Feng shouted in a low voice, and the Earth Shield immediately surrounded Kasha, blocking all attacks. The attack of the Jia Ye Empire had already begun, and Yun Feng's eyebrows were tightly locked. Since it couldn't be avoided, he would take this opportunity to completely drive Jia Ye out!
No more worries, the few people from the Kalan Empire also understood. Qu Lan stood quietly on the side, with no intention of making a move, a look of watching a show on his face. Kasa seemed to be just a supporting actor, in this battle, the sixth-level her was just a role that was being beaten up, the fight broke out!
"Roar……" Xiao Huo let out a low whistle, his body charged forward, his dark red wolf form transformed into a dark red streak of light, with an incredible speed. Kasen's black eyes saw it, and a surge of hot blood rushed to his head, he clapped his hands together, and in the center of his palm appeared a small jade token. He licked his dry lips with the tip of his tongue, and a hint of madness flashed in Kasen's eyes, just in time!
The people of the Kalos Empire had a tacit understanding, and in an instant, Xiao Huo was face to face with Kalos. Xiao Huo's ferocious wolf claws swung down, and the sharp claws flashed with a silver light, leaving a faint mark in the air. Kalos suddenly let out a crazy laugh, and the small jade plate in his hand was crushed, instantly releasing a powerful spiritual energy from the crushed jade plate, bursting forth!
"What!" Yun Feng's black pupils stared blankly, Lan Yi anxiously shouted, "Hu Xiong!"
Xiao Huo felt a massive spiritual power, his body wanting to jump to the side, but his movements were slow. The powerful spiritual power was like an invisible big hand that firmly grasped Xiao Huo's body. And on the ground where Xiao Huo was standing, a dazzling light suddenly flashed!
"Little Fire!" Yun Feng saw that the pattern under the light was so familiar, it was exactly the same as the mark on the abdomen of the Bee King, it was the Contract Array!
The people on both sides of Ao Wei and Sheng Yao, who had been watching the battle all along, were also shocked. Mu Qing and Xiao Xiao stared at each other, "Is this the trump card of the Jia Ye Empire... Indeed, it's not ordinary..." Both of them murmured thoughtfully. Summoners are mysterious and powerful, outsiders wouldn't understand the contract array. But the mysterious pattern that appeared on the ground under Xiaohuo's feet had already made everyone vaguely understand that this was related to the summoner.
"Huoyun Lang, you're mine!" Kasen narrowed his eyes as he gazed at the small Huo trapped in the Contract Array. This demon beast wouldn't be able to escape from his grasp! Yun Feng, Summoner? How does it feel to have your contract stolen? And what about having a contracted demon beast turn against you?
Kasen burst out laughing, his laughter mixed with too much arrogance and complacency. Xiao Huo was trapped in the Contract Array, but this was not unfamiliar to it. It thought back to when it was trapped by Yun Feng's similar Contract Array in the Misty Forest, binding its contract!
"This old man can also be contracted by you, you little rascal!" Xiao Huo's body was tightly trapped in the contract array, his mouth speaking harsh words, but Xiao Huo's expression on his face was not relaxed at all. Jiasen was still smiling, Yun Feng felt the spiritual power transmitted from the contract array, and her strength was almost equal to that of a late-stage commander!
The summoner of the Kasyapa Empire... Yun Feng gritted his teeth. The contract array was covered by a huge spiritual force, and no one could approach it. If this continued, Xiao Huo would really be in danger! The summoned beast of the summoner's contract can be replaced, and being able to replace also means that it can be taken away by force! As long as there is a gap in the level of the summoner, if a high-level summoner is willing, they can naturally take away the contracted beast of a low-level summoner. However, such situations are rare, and unless it's for personal grudges, summoners will not engage in plundering behavior.
It's possible for a summoner of the same rank, as long as their strength can overwhelm the opponent, to take possession of an even stronger magical beast of the same rank! Xiao Huo is currently in such a situation, and what's more dangerous is that if Xiao Huo is forcibly taken away, the contract between Xiao Huo and Yun Feng will automatically be dissolved. The contract between Yun Feng and Xiao Huo is not an equal contract, but a master-slave contract! If the master-slave contract is dissolved, the summoner themselves will suffer a fatal blow!
Yun Feng narrowed her eyes, her mind racing quickly, and her black pupils suddenly floated onto Jia Sen's body. As long as she could eliminate him, this crisis would be completely resolved! A murderous intention arose in Yun Feng's heart, she rarely took ruthless action, Wang Youcai was the first, Lin's family was the second, and now Jia Sen was the third!
"Master! Don't clash with him head-on!" Lan Yi stepped forward and grabbed Yun Feng, who was about to take action. Yun Feng gritted her teeth, even if she couldn't clash with him head-on, she couldn't let Xiao Huo be taken away!
"Get out of the way!" Yun Feng shouted, instantly breaking free from Lan Yi's grasp and transforming into a dark streak that slid towards Jia Sen. Jia Sen looked at Yun Feng rushing over, his face cold with a smile, "Yun Feng, even if it's you, you can't stop me!"
The spiritual force under Kasen's low growl suddenly attacked Yun Feng, and Yun Feng's body did not dodge or avoid it, but instead went straight to meet it. The late-stage spiritual force of the commander level came, even if Yun Feng was strong, how could he not be injured!
"Ah!" Yun Feng's body was heavily slammed, and he almost fell to the ground. Yun Sheng saw it and shouted Yun Feng's name, wanting to rush over, but was stopped by Lan Yi, "You going over now would be of no use, and would only distract Master from protecting you!"
Yun Sheng could only stand still, anxious and urgent. Mu Rong Yun Tian and Ze Ran stopped moving altogether, while Qu Lan Yi's face turned slightly pale. Without thinking, he wanted to rush over, but Yun Feng noticed Qu Lan Yi's movement and turned around, shouting wildly, "No one is allowed to come over!" Jia Sen's controlled spiritual energy launched another fierce attack, hitting Yun Feng's body fiercely. Yun Feng's body stumbled again, and the spiritual space underwent a violent shock. Those spiritual energies that had transformed into countless small water droplets underwent a huge change. The ancestors residing in the spiritual space suddenly lifted their heads, their dark eyes filled with deep concern, "Little guy, are you going to..."
Yun Feng gritted his teeth fiercely, and most of the spiritual water droplets in his spiritual space suddenly melted. A surge of powerful spiritual energy burst out, forming a massive whirlpool within Yun Feng's spiritual space before exploding outward!
