The battle, it had never ceased.
On the human side, they constructed temporary fortresses and trenches, retreating while combating, concealing each other, thus the fight was extremely conservative and displayed a great deal of caution.
On the monster’s side... in the first line of offense, ninety-nine percent were "dumb" newborn monsters.
Veteran human hunters killing these template-like newborn monsters were like effortlessly abusing weaklings, even with the intelligent monsters pushing them from behind, they couldn’t achieve substantial results in a short time.
However, the intelligent monsters were not in a hurry, they were just constantly "fueling the fire", waiting for the moment when humans would be "boiled".
This was the offense and defense inside the Secret Realm. One side had the advantage in quality, the other in momentum and quantity... For now, the monsters, who had an overwhelming advantage, were in a more advantageous position.
They not only had the strongest "quality", the "king" that squatted in the rear, they also had an infinite number of beast swarms, all they had to do was wait for the result.
On the human side, it was all about waiting...even though some people were destined to run out of patience, if the majority were still waiting, it would be impossible to launch a full-scale counterattack.
"...Captains of all teams, come over for a small meeting."
After a brief communication, and following a heated argument, they finally reached a consensus.
Five minutes later, the humans ignited a signal for a counterattack using gunpowder and fireworks....When the first batch of warriors charged out of the trenches, even the intelligent monster commanding generals far away were astonished.
This wasn’t the moment when they were driven to the brink, was it?
But this sudden assault came quickly and fiercely.
The frontline battle-professions (Tanks) completed a simple formation, forming groups to break through frontally (drawing fire), while professional hunters and archers were rapidly harvesting beast heads.
The precious and rare Element Manipulators, at this moment, were not sparing their power. One by one, fireballs, frost rings, and lightning lit up the sky of the underground palace.
Some logistics professionals even brought out magic bullet mortars, with fireworks illuminating the ground one by one, and the costly firepower began attacking the monsters’ front line.
The front lines of the monsters and warriors collided, tearing each other apart in a deadly fight.
A series of petrifying rays appeared, the next moment, a more violent counterattack was ignited in the sky.
In the small underground palace, with the intense fight involving more than a hundred people, the stifling smell of modern warfare emerged... probably as a result of tank-like giant lizards entering the battlefield one by one.
Under the command of the "King", those Stone-dragon Lizards with Dragon-descendant traits entered the field one by one.
They were like super tanks in infantry tactics, obstinately blocking the path of human counterattack, their massive bodies were natural barriers or even coverings, and their Dragon lineage made them extremely robust and hard to kill.
One by one, Stone-dragon Lizards fell on the battlefield, but their existence outright limited the counterattack of the humans.
When the speed of the charging warriors who came out of cover slowed down, a torrent of petrifying rays came down... The modern warfare play of tanks forming battle lines, followed by barrages of rockets and missiles, was unintentionally unleashed by the lizards.
At this point, the humans had to take cover.
Based on previous combat experience, some people rolled and dodged, while others took cover on the spot.
Those who charged foolishly under the petrifying ray? They might have existed before, but now they might have become statues on the battlefield.
Once the speed slowed and was sniped by the petrifying ray, the counterattack came to a direct halt... But the scene before them was enough to surprise the shadowy operators.
"Sir Lu Ping’an, how did you manage to do this? A single short message spurred them into a charge? Their losses must not be insignificant, right?"
The inquiry from Yaxi prompted Lu Ping’an to laugh.
How did he do it? At the end of the day, it was as simple as those three old steps...
"If you bet ten gold coins, with a fifty percent chance of winning, and if you win, you could win one coin, would you gamble?"
"...I don’t care much about gold coins, and I rarely carry them around myself...uh, I understand, I wouldn’t, it’s not worth it."
Lu Ping’an smiled subtly as "Royal Wealth" came into view, yet he continued to speak.
"So, the next coin, still a 50% chance of winning, if you win, I’ll give you ten. Would you bet?"
Yaxi nodded, of course, she would bet. Therefore, Lu Ping’an laughed.
Of course, the other party wouldn’t reject the letter. Greed is always the greatest weakness of humankind... At the same time, it’s their main motivation to venture and take risks.
"Yes, normal people would gamble. Who wouldn’t like a chance to risk a little to win a lot? What they have to do is just divert the attention of the Magic Monsters and Stone-dragon Lizards, the truly deadly work is in our hands...."

Looking down, Lu Pingan could see the attention of most of the Magic Monsters was taken by the battlefield before them, but still, quite a few of them sensed his group’s presence.
At this moment, Lu Pingan was dangling upside down on the rock wall, quickly moving using the abilities of the Heavenly Boots and the Cascading... in an upside-down fashion.
Directly approach the king of the Stone-dragon Lizards? That would be utterly impossible.
"Spider Walk..." the ability that Meow excelled at, had turned into Ping’an’s proficiency at this moment.
The inverted assassin, dragging the Silver Armored female Knight below, was closing in on the delivery point of their target.
However, some flying beasts found Lu Ping’an.... Even the unintelligent newborn beasts retained their innate sensing abilities.
"...Sigh, is this where it ends?"
Lu Ping’an didn’t rush to break away, he could see the counterattack of the human side had come to a halt.
Even with the generous bait, the other side’s will to fight remained a question..... No matter how good the financial gain, one must be alive to receive it. These ragtag warriors who lacked military discipline showed little likelihood of voluntarily sacrificing themselves at this critical moment.
"Enough, this is already enough... I never counted on them from the start!"
Lu Pingan laughed, smiling at the Magic Monsters.
The young man smiled like a friendly guest, his hands spreading wide as numerous seeds fluttered in the wind, like flowers during a festival...... He had been sowing seeds all along the way.
The explosions on the ground, however, manifested his wicked deed.
A huge amount of hibiscus blossoms and Lamplight Grass (fully charged), were casually strewn by him and rapidly activated by his skills.
Explosives were something Lu Pingan never lacked. At this moment, he was emptying his storage of expired ammunition as if doing a warehouse clearance.
Some exploded in the air, while some formed a chain of explosions on the ground.
The ground fell into chaos. As he got closer to the heads of the Stone Dragon Swarm, the abrupt onset of explosions and Magic Plants from above disrupted the camp of the Magic Monsters.
Wisdom Demons howled under the supervision of the Commanding General, but their efforts were to no avail.
For the simple-minded newborn Demons, the sudden explosions falling from the sky awoke the deepest fear in their bloodline... This inexplicable attack forced them to instinctively flee based on their survival instinct.
In this instant, the beast swarm was shocked.
Maybe, they would soon regain calm under the command of their master, but at this moment, chaos and disaster were spreading, and they fell into blind panic, completely disrupting the Beast King’s camp.
And all of this was just a fancy trick of Lu Ping’an...
The Silver Armored Knight had successfully landed. Amid the chaos, she managed to reach her target.
But this was merely the prelude to a chain of tactics.
Under the attack of the birds and beasts, Lu Ping’an dove into a suddenly appearing giant armor, and began to fall rapidly.
