Chapter 205 The Decisive Battle Approaches, Preparations Underway
Standing in front of the preparation camp, Dai Yao looked at the eerie final fortress in the distance and felt immense pressure.
That thing stood there like a giant lump of coal, emanating a strange aura that made people's mental state drop drastically; it was practically a "smog-generating machine" in the cultivation world.
Our brothers and sisters on this side all looked like wilted eggplants, listless and dispirited.
"Cheer up, everyone! Don't look like you've lost your partner!" Dai Yao shouted, hands on her hips. "Back in the day, I even experienced something as absurd as transmigrating into a book. What's a broken fortress like this?"
She cleared her throat and began to outline the battle plan: "Old Wang, you lead the team in a feint attack from the front. Remember, you must use clever maneuvers to confuse them! Little Li, you're fast, so you're responsible for raiding their supply depot and making them go hungry. Hehe, an army marches on its stomach, understand?" Dai Yao's arrangements were extremely efficient, putting everyone in a proper position, defeating them one by one, and making full use of everyone's strengths. She was practically a living military strategist.
The previously low morale of the group was instantly ignited, and everyone was eager to try and ready to fight.
"Sister Yao, don't worry! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Old Wang patted his chest and assured her.
Xiao Li chuckled and said, "Sister Yao, I'll go deliver some 'takeout' to them right now. I guarantee they'll be so hungry they won't be able to eat it all!"
Seeing everyone's high spirits, Dai Yao nodded in satisfaction, secretly planning her next move.
Suddenly, her expression tightened as she sensed a powerful aura approaching...
"Oh no!" Dai Yao whispered.
Dai Yao squinted and saw dust billowing in the distance as a figure dressed in a black robe, exuding a chilling aura, led a group of henchmen, approaching the camp in a grand procession.
This man in black robes is the mastermind's right-hand man, nicknamed "the jinx," bringing bad luck wherever he goes, and is considered a "human plague" in the cultivation world.
The jinx walked up to the camp and said with a sarcastic laugh, "Oh, isn't this our Demon Palace Master, Lord Dai? What's wrong, hiding here trembling in fear? Scared? If you're scared, just surrender obediently, and maybe my master will be in a good mood and leave you with a whole corpse!"
His henchmen joined in the jeering, emitting ear-piercing laughter that was even more unbearable than scratching a blackboard with fingernails.
Dai Yao rolled her eyes, her heart completely unmoved, and she even felt a little amused.
Is this jinx a fool?
Did they think that such a low-level provocation could disrupt morale?
Who is Dai Yao?
The undisputed king of transmigration novels!
What storms haven't I weathered?
"You jinx, are you putting on a comedy sketch here?" Dai Yao crossed her arms and said dismissively, "I don't even consider your skills a threat. I suggest you go back to your room, wash up and go to sleep. You can have anything in your dreams."
The jinx's face darkened. Why was Dai Yao so unpredictable?
He originally thought that Dai Yao would be furious and impulsively start a fight with him, so that he could take the opportunity to test her strength.
To his surprise, she remained so calm, which made him feel somewhat uncertain.
Dai Yao observed the jinx without making a sound. Using her golden finger that could sense the flow of fortune, she discovered that although the jinx appeared arrogant, he was filled with unease. His fortune fluctuated abnormally, which clearly indicated that he was afraid of something.
"It seems this jinx is all bark and no bite," Dai Yao chuckled inwardly. Then, she deliberately raised her voice and said, "I advise you to hurry back and tell your master to wash his neck and wait! We have a secret weapon here. By then, it's not certain who will emerge victorious!"
Upon hearing this, the jinx's face turned deathly pale, and his henchmen exchanged glances and whispered among themselves.
The members of their own camp, who were initially a little nervous, suddenly gained confidence upon seeing the enemy's reaction, straightening their backs as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
Dai Yao's lips curled slightly upward, and she was about to utter a few more harsh words when suddenly, a warm, large hand gently grasped hers...
The mysterious figure walked up to Dai Yao, gently took her hand, and a warm feeling instantly flowed through her body, like a cup of hot milk tea on a winter's day, warming her heart.
Dai Yao turned to look at him, his deep eyes filled with determination and support, as if saying, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Dai Yao felt a warmth in her heart, and a confident smile appeared on her lips.
With him around, what else does she have to be afraid of?
He's at full strength, his fighting power is off the charts!
"You jinx, aren't you tired of putting on a one-man show here? I'm in a good mood today, so I'll play along!" Dai Yao waved her hand with boundless pride, "Brothers, grab your weapons!"
After saying that, Dai Yao led a small team of elite members and rushed towards the jinx's team like an arrow released from a bow.
The scene looked like a group exercise performance organized by a kindergarten, with a leader leading a group of little ones, rushing forward in a grand procession.
However, these "little guys" are not to be trifled with.
They worked in perfect harmony, their moves ruthless, like a pack of tigers descending the mountain, instantly scattering the jinx's team.
Dai Yao took the lead, accurately predicting the enemy's attack by sensing the flow of Qi, then effortlessly deflecting it, and incidentally giving the opponent a "surprise".
"Oops, sorry, my hand slipped." Dai Yao patted a henchman she had kicked away with an innocent look on her face. Her tone was even more cunning than a green tea b*tch.
The jinx watched helplessly as his team was utterly defeated by Dai Yao and her group, and his face turned green with rage.
Dai Yao is simply a prodigy!
After the battle, Dai Yao and her group captured several enemies. After a "friendly" exchange, they obtained some information about the mastermind behind the scenes from them.
"It seems we're getting closer to the truth." Dai Yao looked at the intelligence report in her hand, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.
Suddenly, she felt the intelligence in her hand getting slightly hot...
&34; What is this?
&34; Dai Yao frowned and noticed several strange runes appearing on the intelligence, flashing with an eerie red light.
"What the heck? It has a built-in heating function?" she muttered, handing the information to the mysterious figure beside her.
The mysterious figure took the intelligence, lightly touched the runes with his fingertips, and a powerful spiritual energy wave instantly spread out, causing the surrounding air to distort slightly.
"This is... a tracking talisman! And an extremely high-level one at that, capable of locating a target across space." His expression was grave, and his tone unusually serious.
"Damn it, this old bastard is really persistent!" Dai Yao couldn't help but swear. This mastermind was even more troublesome than a stubborn plaster.
"So what do we do now? Are we just going to become moving targets and wait to be caught like turtles in a jar?"
The mysterious figure pondered for a moment, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
"No, let's turn the tables on him. Since he wants to track us, we'll counter-track him and show him why the flowers are so red!" He curled a wicked smile, making Dai Yao's heart flutter.
My goodness, this man is so handsome when he gets serious!
So cool!
Next, they immediately set up an anti-tracking formation and strengthened the Demon Palace's defenses. At the same time, Dai Yao also began contacting other allies to prepare to join forces against the mastermind behind the scenes.
However, just as they were preparing for battle, a key member of their own faction was suddenly attacked and seriously injured.
Looking at her unconscious companion, Dai Yao felt a surge of anger.
"That damned mastermind, they actually resorted to underhanded tactics!"
"Yao, calm down." The mysterious figure pressed down on Dai Yao's shoulder, his eyes resolute.
"Now is not the time to act impulsively. We must conserve our strength and wait for the best opportunity."
Dai Yao took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
She knew that now was not the time to act rashly; only by remaining calm could she achieve victory in the upcoming decisive battle.
As night fell, a tense atmosphere enveloped the Demon Palace.
Dai Yao stood on the high platform, gazing at the dark night sky in the distance, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
Suddenly, she felt a pang of heart palpitation, and a nameless unease welled up inside her.
She turned her head sharply to look at the mysterious figure, "You..."
