966 Luo Feng Who Had Power But No Place to Use It



Liu Yan directly spoke, "I came here to find you because there is an important matter to discuss. If you trust me, relax your mental resistance, and I'll tell you directly!"

Huang Yuan hesitated for a moment and then nodded, "Of course, I can do that."

Saying so, Huang Yuan relaxed his mental defenses.

Seeing this, Liu Yan wasted no time and immediately activated the SS-grade skill, Soul Snatching.

The SS-grade skill, Soul Snatching was a divine technique mastered only by the Chief Warden of the ninth floor of the tower. It was profound and had incredibly powerful and mystical effects. Not only could it search the target's soul and memories, but it could also rapidly transmit the user's own memories to the other party.

Liu Yan used the Soul Snatching skill to convey all the information he found in Luo Rui's memories about the Lakon Territory, the conspiracy, and Team Origin's plan to join forces with Lu Dajiang to deal with the Lighthouse Territory, directly to Huang Yuan.

At that moment, Huang Yuan's face displayed confusion as he processed the information.

After all, Huang Yuan's spirit energy was not very strong. It would take a certain amount of time to receive and understand such a vast amount of memories.

Liu Yan straightforwardly said, "Take your time to consider. If you are willing, inform Lu Dajiang and persuade them. Time is running short. I'll leave now."

Saying this, Liu Yan unfurled the SSS-grade special equipment, Wings of Wind God, and flew away.

Liu Yan headed in another direction to assist the remaining members of Team Origin in their retreat.

Soon after, all three squads from Team Origin successfully retreated.

On the other side, Luo Feng finally broke free from the influence of the Heart of Darkness and dealt with the ten Illusionary Clones left by Liu Yan and charged out.

However, when Luo Feng returned, he couldn't see Liu Yan's figure anymore. At the same time, he couldn't see the members of Team Origin either.

What remained was instead a mess of Team Lighthouse.

The members of Team Lighthouse had initially launched a pursuit and were relatively successful. They even inflicted serious injuries on several members of Team Origin, gaining a considerable advantage.

However, they didn't anticipate the sudden appearance of Liu Yan. Not only did he cover Team Origin's retreat, preventing them from pursuing by the members of Team Lighthouse, he even attacked them, causing terrifying damage.

At this moment, under the guidance of a few captains from Team Lighthouse, the scattered Team Lighthouse had already gathered again.

The morale of the Team Lighthouse members was somewhat low.

"We clearly have stronger strength than Team Origin, but we suffered heavy losses in our battles."

"Yes, Team Origin is much weaker and not our match."

"Mainly, the other factors are troublesome, with a complex environment, numerous Withered Tree Spirits, and various traps."

"But the main issue is Liu Yan. He is not only powerful but also highly destructive, making him extremely formidable."

"This is truly frustrating. We've never experienced such a frustrating battle."

The members of Team Lighthouse were currently experiencing a decline in morale.

Upon seeing this situation, Luo Feng had an unpleasant expression.

He clearly had 19-star combat strength, and his strength was far stronger than Liu Yan's.

However, he did not expect that he would be at a disadvantage when facing Liu Yan.

The more Luo Feng thought about it, the more frustrated he felt. He hadn't even fought Liu Yan properly before.

He was constantly delayed by Liu Yan's various restraining skills.

Luo Feng believed that if he were to confront Liu Yan directly, he could defeat him in a short time. However, Liu Yan always employed disgusting and powerful skills that disrupted his plans.

At this moment, a core member approached and said, "Captain, we have suffered heavy losses in these two rounds. The number of casualties has reached 80, and we have 190 members severely injured. We've lost almost an entire squad, and two squads have become combat ineffective. Continuing the battle would not be advantageous for us, especially considering the morale."

Luo Feng's expression turned grim upon hearing this. He didn't expect such a huge loss.

Despite his superior strength compared to Liu Yan, and the overall strength of Team Lighthouse being far superior to Team Origin.

However, in this battle, he had no place to use his strength. He had been restricted by Liu Yan, resulting in heavy losses for Team Lighthouse.

Even though Luo Feng was filled with anger, he had led a team for a long time and had a lot of experience. He quickly forced himself to calm down and think rationally.

After careful consideration, Luo Feng realized that there were three main reasons for their current situation. Firstly, Team Origin had the assistance of the Withered Tree Spirit, and combined with the intricate environment of the Hallucinatory Forest, it had indeed helped Team Origin to a large extent.

The second reason was that Liu Yan's abilities were peculiar. Although he wasn't as strong as Luo Feng, he possessed several powerful restraining skills, making him quite formidable. Furthermore, during their direct confrontation, Luo Feng was astonished to discover that, despite his strength, he could only suppress Liu Yan and couldn't defeat him quickly. This revealed Liu Yan's exceptional talent. Although he had 18-star combat strength, he surpassed the average awakened with the same rating.

Thirdly, Team Lighthouse underestimated their opponents. Without sufficient knowledge of the Hallucinatory Forest's internal conditions and Team Origin's capabilities, they rashly launched their attack, allowing Team Origin to take advantage.

Although Luo Feng was eager to continue the assault and swiftly deal with Team Origin and Liu Yan, he realized that pressing forward at this moment would be an extremely unfavorable choice.

Team Lighthouse had just suffered significant losses, with their overall combat strength reduced by more than half.

Although Team Origin had also suffered heavy losses, Team Lighthouse still had a higher remaining combat strength than Team Origin.

However, no one knew what would happen in the deeper parts of the Hallucinatory Forest.

Continuing the battle now would be extremely unwise.

After careful consideration, Luo Feng issued the order, "Set up camp here and rest. The injured members should immediate treatment and recover their combat strength, while the rest should remain on high alert. Today's battle is temporarily suspended. Once we are fully prepared, we will seize Team Origin in one fell swoop tomorrow!"

"Yes, sir!"

"Understood!"

The members of Team Lighthouse responded one after another.

Luo Feng looked into the depths of the Hallucinatory Forest, his expression turning somewhat sinister.

Although Team Lighthouse had suffered significant losses today, Luo Feng was well aware that Team Origin had also suffered heavily.

However, Team Lighthouse had access to advanced healing resources, enabling them to recover quickly. Team Origin might not have the same capability.

When tomorrow's battle arrived, Team Lighthouse would still hold a considerable advantage over Team Origin, and their lead would be even more pronounced than today.

In other words, when Team Lighthouse and Team Origin faced off again tomorrow, Team Lighthouse would have a much easier time.

At the same time, Luo Feng intended to show respect for his opponent and thoroughly investigate the situation within the forest. This would allow them to be well-prepared for tomorrow's battle, making Team Lighthouse's advancement smoother.

Subsequently, Luo Feng ordered his team members to rest in place and maintain their defensive positions. He then released a few lizard-like fierce beasts to venture deeper into the Hallucinatory Forest and gather information.

Luo Feng himself wanted to conduct a thorough investigation, but he was concerned about the possibility of Liu Yan launching a surprise attack in his absence. Therefore, he was unable to leave the area completely.
