171: Chapter 171 Again

As Su Mu's thoughts stirred, the hundreds of Shadow Wolf Steeds that had long been poised for action simultaneously let out deafening roars!

They transformed into streaks of dark lightning, launching a violent charge toward the coalition of the three Tribes!

At the same time, the hundreds of giant black eagles circling in the sky also let out sharp, piercing cries!

Even more terrifyingly, the iron-like feathers on their wings exploded outward, firing countless black feather-arrows that shimmered with a cold, metallic glint!

Dense as rain, they covered a large area!

From sky to ground, a three-dimensional assault was formed in an instant!

"Defend! Form up!!"

Jian Xue screamed sharply, her long whip dancing into a curtain of light, batting away all the black feather-arrows aimed at her.

Zhao Ming erected a translucent energy shield, blocking the rain of black feathers outside.

Brother Cheng roared, using a colossal blade to forcefully hack away the rain of arrows coming from the front and the few Shadow Wolf Steeds that lunged at him!

But some of their subordinates behind them were not so lucky.

"Ah——!"

"My eyes!"

"Help... help me!"

Screams instantly echoed across the beach.

In just the first wave of contact, over thirty people were killed on the spot or severely injured and incapacitated, and the rest were stunned by this sudden, fierce attack.

"How is this possible?!"

Brother Cheng cleaved a Wolf Foal into fragments of light with one stroke, his eyes nearly splitting as he looked at the tragic scene of his subordinates around him.

How could these summoned creatures be so strong?! Could that woman really be a Unique Class Summoner?

Jian Xue's face turned livid, and she hurriedly said to Zhao Ming and Brother Cheng, "The strength of this Tribe far exceeds our estimates! How can a newly arrived Tribe be so formidable?"

The look behind Zhao Ming's glasses was incomparably grave: "We can't keep fighting like this! Even if we manage to kill all these summoned creatures, by the time we reach them, there won't be many of us left, and our condition will be severely depleted, leaving us with no strength to fight again!"

"Then what do you suggest we do?!"

Brother Cheng roared irritably, hacking apart another Wolf Foal.

Jian Xue gritted her teeth and said: "Call for reinforcements from the Azure Alliance! Only they can provide rapid support now and have the strength to deal with this Tribe!"

"The Azure Alliance?!"

Zhao Ming and Brother Cheng were both shocked.

The "Azure Alliance" was the true hegemon of their peripheral region, with strength far exceeding the three of them combined, but the price to hire them was terrifyingly high!

Not only would they have to pay a huge protection fee, but they might also be further extorted afterward.

"The cost is too high!" Brother Cheng growled.

"High cost is still better than dying here now, or being uprooted by this new Tribe in the future!" Jian Xue said.

Zhao Ming calmed down at this moment, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "I agree. The potential this Tribe has shown is too terrifying. The three of us will sooner or later be swallowed until not even our bones are left! We must act now, regardless of the cost!"

Brother Cheng looked at his subordinates struggling to hold on under the attacks of the Wolf Foals and black eagles and falling one after another, then looked at Qi Yun and the others in the distance, who were composed and starting to "rest," and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.

He stomped his foot violently: "Damn it! Fine! I'm in too! The three families will split the cost!"

"Good!" Jian Xue no longer hesitated, quickly pulling out a bone whistle carved with cyan vine patterns from her bosom, and blew it hard.

The bone whistle made no sound, but a special energy fluctuation instantly transmitted toward the depths of the jungle.

After sending the distress signal, the three felt slightly more at ease, but looking at the increasingly unfavorable battle situation, they dared not be careless in the slightest.

They contracted their formation, commanding their elite subordinates to form a circle back-to-back, no longer launching active attacks but switching to defense, striving to minimize losses before reinforcements arrived.

"Steady! Don't panic! Form a defensive array!"

"Attack those black eagles from a distance! Watch out for their dives!"

"Healers keep up! The injured retreat to the center!"

The three leaders commanded hoarsely, standing at the very front themselves, resisting the fiercest lunges of the Wolf Foals and the targeted attacks of the black eagles.

They felt incredibly aggrieved; they had expected a welcoming ceremony where they could easily handle the newcomers, but it had turned into a hellish experience where their own elites were rubbed into the ground by the other party's summoned creatures.

Meanwhile, the One-eyed Woman and the Effeminate Man, who were still being sat on and stepped on by Qi Yun, as well as the newcomers who had been kneeling and watching the show in the distance, were already dumbfounded, doubting their own lives.

"What... what did I just see?"

"One person summoned an entire legion? And is suppressing three Tribes?"

"What kind of god-tier Tribe is this?! How can they be this arrogant just after arriving in the Land of Beginning?!"

"I actually mocked them just now; I must be tired of living."

The One-eyed Woman felt the leisurely weight of Qi Yun on her, heard the constant screams and the leaders' frantic commands in her ears, and felt nothing but endless regret and coldness in her heart.

She had kicked a titanium alloy plate... no, she had kicked a Star Destroyer!

The battle lasted for nearly an hour.

When the last Shadow Wolf Steed turned into fragments, the beach was already a mess.

When the coalition of the three Tribes arrived, there were nearly two hundred people; now, less than eighty were still standing, and everyone was injured and panting.

Looking at Qi Yun's side, only Su Mu showed a trace of fatigue on her face, gently rubbing her temples, and whispered to Qi Yun: "Qi Yun, the little ones were a bit over-exerted this time; I'm afraid they'll need some time to rest before they can be summoned again."

Qi Yun pinched Su Mu's backside, signaling that he understood.

Su Mu blushed; her daughter was still there, and even though they had already done that, she still couldn't get used to it.

Qi Yun finally looked at the disheveled Jian Xue, Zhao Ming, and Brother Cheng, who looked as if they had been fished out of a pool of blood, and a sincere smile appeared on his face: "The strength of this Land of Beginning Tribe, tsk tsk, really surprised me."

"We haven't even really warmed up yet, how did you end up in such a sorry state?"

Humiliation! Naked, soul-crushing humiliation!

Jian Xue, Zhao Ming, and Brother Cheng's faces instantly turned the color of liver, their chests heaving violently, so angry they were nearly vomiting blood.

Their three families had joined forces, only to be crippled by a single Summoner's summoned creatures, and now they were being mocked like this by the other party!

"You... don't get cocky too soon!" Zhao Ming's face was livid, he stared fixedly at Qi Yun, his voice trembling with extreme anger.

"Very soon... very soon you won't be able to laugh anymore!"

As if to confirm his words— "Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——!"

Over a dozen sounds of breaking air rang out almost simultaneously!

Following that, over a dozen figures with powerful auras and lightning-fast speed shot out from the depths of the jungle, instantly appearing in the open space between Jian Xue's trio and Qi Yun's Tribe.

The arrivals were uniformly dressed in light cyan martial attire embroidered with cyan vine patterns, all of them having fierce auras and sharp eyes; the overall momentum and oppressive feeling they radiated were several times stronger than the coalition of the three Tribes just now!

It was the reinforcements sent by the "Azure Alliance."
