Chapter 159: Seems Like You're Missing a Healer in This Battle
The long night passed, and sunlight once again graced the earth.
This marked the third day since Lin Ye entered the Secret Realm.
And he was getting increasingly closer to the city known as 'West City.'
At this moment, he stopped for a brief rest and took the opportunity to eat something to replenish his energy.
"Just about half a day more, and I should be there by noon."
Lin Ye checked the map.
After traveling for two days and nights, he was finally about to reach West City.
Thinking of this, Lin Ye couldn't help but feel a bit emotional...
How exactly did the Mad God Guild complete this hidden task in the previous life?
It's important to note that even with his ability for Space Movement, it took him almost two and a half days to reach West City.
And who knows what methods others might use to reach West City from the camp within three days.
The difficulty was indeed too high.
It could be said that the biggest challenge of this hidden task was not killing the Beastman General but reaching West City within three days.
Even for him, a Space Mage, it took two and a half days just to get to West City, which speaks for itself in terms of difficulty.
Of course, how others accomplish it doesn't matter anymore.
Because Lin Ye had already seized the opportunity to complete this task.
This task was not repeatable.
Lin Ye remembered that after this hidden task was completed in the previous life, although the Secret Realm remained, the Beastman General was gone forever.
And the general defending the city would not die during the task period.
This meant that this hidden task line had completely disappeared, and no one else could complete it.
"Gotta hurry."
Lin Ye swallowed the jerky in his mouth, took a big gulp of water, and then sprang up and vanished on the spot.
He continued on his journey.
...
Half a day passed in the blink of an eye.
"Roar!"
With a violent dragon's roar, the beastman soldiers who attempted to attack the camp and loot the grain supplies were turned into bubbling pools of unidentified liquid by the poisonous acidic breath.
The surrounding mountains and forests had also turned into a wasteland, completely destroyed by the dragon's breath.
In the foreseeable future, this area would remain unrecognizable.
However, the young people in the camp had become accustomed to the hellish scene before them without any surprise.
In the past two days and nights, they did not have a chance to make a move.
Lin Ye's Giant Dragon Combat Pet's combat power was simply above standard!
They even felt...
Had it not needed ten people to open this Secret Realm, Lin Ye might not have needed to bring them along at all.
They had not participated in any battle since the beginning.
Moreover, they couldn't get involved in this level of battle.
After all, the beastmen were Level 30 elite monsters, and they were just weaklings barely over their twenties, unable to make any impact.
If it weren't for Lin Ye's dragon, they probably would have been dead already.
But the dragon did have quite an appetite...
In these few days, it had already eaten all the horses from the grain transport team.
"If the boss can't finish the task by tomorrow, how are we going to transport the grain..." someone muttered under their breath.
Two and a half days had already passed, and the day was almost over, yet there was still no news from Lin Ye.
If Lin Ye didn't return after three days, how could they transport the grain without horses?
Should they ask the dragon to carry the grain?
They didn't dare say that...
"Why worry? If the boss said it could be done, then don't doubt it!" Hook said with some dissatisfaction.
Really, it hadn't even been three days yet!
What's there to worry about!
"Yes! There's still time left, and I believe the boss can absolutely do it!" Huo Ting chimed in.
Seeing that both main leaders of the team, aside from Lin Ye, were so confident,
the person who had been muttering couldn't help but scratch his head.
Indeed!
At this stage, what was the point of saying such things?
Just believe in Lin Ye!
...
Meanwhile, after a long journey, Lin Ye finally caught sight of the silhouette of the distant town.
"I'm here!"
Lin Ye felt a surge of excitement as he finally found West City, following the task map's directions!
The three-day mark was not yet upon him.
Lin Ye didn't rush forward but instead stepped into the air and gazed at the distant city-state.
On the plains before the low city walls, fierce battles raged on!
Lin Ye examined the so-called city walls of West City and raised a brow.
With this kind of defensive setup, it indeed was quite inadequate...
Even with supplies of grain, losing under the intense attacks of the beastmen was only a matter of time.
Transporting grain was never the real objective of this Secret Realm task.
The true goal of this Secret Realm was for challengers to help the soldiers and civilians of West City drive away the Blood-toothed Orcs.
Otherwise, transporting any amount of grain would be futile.
So this city defense battle was basically destined to end in defeat and death unless the challengers actively took action to drive away the Blood-toothed Orcs, not just complete the delivery of grain.
However, the time limit for this task was indeed too harsh.
Challengers needed to reach West City in three days and slay the Beastman General before the City Defense General perished to ensure the Beastman Army's retreat.
And as Lin Ye arrived, the battle was already at its climax.
Numerous crows circled above the battlefield, watching the people on the ground.
Through the crows, Lin Ye saw two figures engaged in fierce combat, with a circle cleared around them.
That was the battle between the City Defense General and the Beastman General of West City's forces.
Two Boss Level adversaries left no room for other foot soldiers to interfere, creating an empty space around them.
The fierce fighting aftermath made it difficult for other soldiers to approach the generals.
Both sides seemed evenly matched, but unless something unexpected happened, the City Defense General would end up defeated and dead.
The moment he died, the battle's outcome would be predetermined as a loss for the city defenders.
And this outcome was something those who diligently transported grain could not foresee.
Because when the general died, they would still be on the path transporting grain, completely unaware the battle's outcome was already decided.
"Kill!"
"Roar!"
On the battlefield, the war cries of the City Defense Army and the Beastman Army rang out continuously, with blood and flesh flying!
And as Lin Ye stood in mid-air, he suddenly remembered something.
It seemed he hadn't updated his attributes in a long while...
