"Splash!"

The passage of the Ghost Clan completely opened, and a tenfold number of ghost soldiers flew out, rushing toward Su Ran’s territory.

The entire scene was extremely chaotic, with a sense of looming darkness, inciting the players to shout non-stop, as if it was a carnival night, fully igniting their enthusiasm.

Only when the Ghost Clan rises strong, their status naturally rises with it; when the Ghost Clan fully conquers the God-Demon Continent, trampling the gods and demons underfoot, won’t they also walk with arrogance?

The more they thought, the more excited they became, the shouting growing louder and also intertwined with numerous mocking words aimed at Su Ran, satisfying their own twisted psychology.

"Spilt Water Can’t Be Regained; I want to see how long you can last!"

"Hahaha, today’s territory battle is so damn exhilarating, I’m proud to be a part of the Ghost Clan!"

"Ghost Venerable, push harder, summon more ghost soldiers, and resolutely give Overturning Water no chance to breathe!"

"Get him!"

...

"Damn it!"

Su Ran cursed silently, hurriedly activated the Thunder Grid of the Guardian Thunder Tower and the protective state of the Strange Demon Bone Cauldron, striving to delay the time as much as possible; as long as the final second hasn’t arrived, he still had hope, he must not give up easily!

He hadn’t expected the Ghost Venerable ancestor would be so malicious, directly opening ten passages, leaving him no space at all; with the current defense strength of his territory, it would be overrun in minutes. Even with the Demon Sovereign here, the situation couldn’t be retrieved; the destruction of the territory was merely a matter of time...

Under the assault of the Ghost Clan’s army, the Thunder Grid and Strange Demon Bone Cauldron didn’t last long, the shield shattered, leaving the territory fully exposed.

"Hahaha, Overturning Water, relish the fear before your death!"

"Ghost Clan reigns supreme, invincible!"

"Finally, the moment has come! Overturning Water, let’s see how mighty you are!"

...

Su Ran didn’t have time to bother with these players. Before the Ghost Clan army arrived, he resolutely used the Divine Phoenix Summoning Stone.

With a crisp phoenix cry, the Divine Phoenix appeared in mid-air with a violent stance, transforming into a bright red fireball, crashing into the Ghost Clan army.

Only a ’boom’ was heard, the fireball exploded, the Fiery Skies skill unfolded.

The flames surged fervently, painting half the sky over the territory in red.

Countless ghost soldiers screamed miserably, falling from the sky one by one, crashing to the ground, where none were spared as they were killed consecutively by the Demon Sovereign and other NPCs.

This scene completely stunned the players, as they watched the Divine Phoenix with disbelief, filled with shock.

"Does this guy even own a Supreme Fire Phoenix? That’s insane!"

"Damn, the Fire Phoenix is so fierce! If only I had such a pet, I’d be willing to live 50 years less!"

"Pft, so what if there’s a Fire Phoenix, can it fight against the transforming Ghost Clan?"

"True, this is only his last struggle. Once the Fire Phoenix falls, what else can he do!"

The players firmly believed this fact, the number of ghost soldiers being so vast, how could a mere small territory hold against it; at this moment, Overturning Water seemed like the last cat of autumn, unable to leap around for much longer.

Exactly as they expected, the Fire Phoenix didn’t last long, quickly transforming into a blaze and disappearing between heaven and earth.

Without the Divine Phoenix as an obstacle, the Ghost Clan army, unburdened, swarmed downward toward the territory, vast and overwhelming, with fighting spirit soaring.

Su Ran’s side was thin with numbers, unable to compare to the Ghost Clan’s faction, completely unmatched; this meant that after this wave of territory contest, his territory was as good as lost.

"Little Skeleton, you should give up."

Yin Si sighed, "As long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood. Take away Dragon Head Mountain and start over."

"I won’t yield till the end!"

Su Ran pulled out the Shadow Stone Controller, directly using the teleport skill.

(Teleportation—consuming either 10 gold ores, 100 silver ores, or 1000 copper ores can randomly relocate the Demonic Treasure Mountain within the same map range. Charge time for teleportation is 10 minutes, cooldown is one hour.)

Ten Ghost Clan passages had already opened, suppressing these so-called passages was meaningless; to preserve his territory, Su Ran could only take this step, leaving his territory to fate, as long as he could get away from these ten passages, he still had a chance to turn the tide!

"Whoosh!"

The Demonic Treasure Mountain vanished, the water level of the Dark Swamp abruptly lowered substantially, a large number of ghost soldiers leaping amiss, standing dumbfounded.

With ten passages continuously spewing out ghost soldiers, the Ghost Clan’s power further expanded, almost to an all-out extent.

Players observing by the Dark Swamp shore, upon discovering the disappearance of the Demonic Treasure Mountain, felt greatly perplexed; how could such a mountain vanish without warning? It was too strange!

As the group of players puzzled over it, a rumbling came from the not-so-distant land; the missing Demonic Treasure Mountain reappeared in their sight.

This time the Demonic Treasure Mountain surfaced right in front of Dragon Head Mountain, less than a hundred meters apart from the Dark Swamp, proving that Su Ran’s attempt to use teleportation to save the territory had failed.

"Looks like the system isn’t on my side this time..."

Su Ran gazed at the sky thick with the Ghost Clan army, a sliver of despair surfacing in his heart.

It was his only chance for self-preservation, but unfortunately, it didn’t go as planned; he could only accept reality.

Faced with the approaching wave of ghost soldiers, Su Ran committed himself completely, using the skill of the Shadow Stone Controller, summoning an ’Illusion Demon brigade.’

This skill could summon 5000-10000 Illusion Demons, and luck was quite decent, nearly summoning 9000 Illusion Demons. Though the Illusion Demons’ strength wasn’t great, they could hold off for a short time.

The players were all shocked by the group of Illusion Demons; they didn’t expect Su Ran could summon so many pets, until the Illusion Demons clashed with the Ghost Clan army; only then did they realize the Illusion Demons were paper tigers, vulnerable, which relieved them.

Su Ran fought with bloodshot eyes, throwing out group skills one after another, soon depleting his magic value. Yet despite this, he was unable to halt the Ghost Clan army’s attack, deeply realizing his own weakness; no matter how he exerted himself, he couldn’t alter the present situation; it was truly pitiful.

The Ghost Clan army surged into the territory like a torrential rain, even with the territory possessing the Six-Harmonies Magnetic Core Array and the Refining Heart effect of the Strange Demon Bone Cauldron; it was merely a mantis trying to stop a chariot, having no apparent effect.

The Demon Sovereign charged first into the Ghost Clan’s formation, followed closely by the Bone Dragon King, Yin Si, Demon Dog Egg, and other NPCs, all plunging into a frenzy, continuously massacring the invading attackers. Even the weakest Lava Tribe patriarch cast the taboo curse ’Nine Stars in a Row,’ harvesting numerous ghost soldiers’ lives, with overwhelming delight.
