Global Mining.

Chapter 712, Round Two: Showing Weakness.

Seeing the team's predicament, Buster sighed, "Alright, actually I have a lot of mine bombs. If the other side really tries to interfere with my mining, I'm not without the power to fight back. But the progress of mining the divine stone might be dragged into the final round."

Dodolin said, "I have plenty of mine bombs too. If the other side goes into the water, I'll throw bombs and engage them. You can focus on mining."

Buster nodded: "Okay!"

Amy laughed and said, "That's great. When it comes to the decisive game, you'll definitely go all out, and the other side will have no one to control you."

Da Chun really had no other good ideas: "Then let's leave it at that."

Then Da Chun asked a crucial question: "In a competition like this, is it possible that the format might change and the opposing team might request to add a player at the last minute?"

Pawa paused for a moment after landing: "There's never been a precedent for this! I don't know if it's even possible."

Holy crap! If they're being so uncertain, then it's definitely possible. Surely no game made by Ten Lao wouldn't leave a backdoor for themselves, right?
However, I arrived early, while the Ten Elders were still plotting some kind of death. They had already wasted a whole night. Could they make it in time?

Da Chun asked a morale-boosting question: "So, what advantages do you all think our side has?"

Aimee smiled: "Guild Leader, we've said it before. When we're with you, our spellcasting speed and coordination are exceptionally fast. That's why we were able to hold our own against the opponent in the first round, even with two fewer players. And after not seeing each other for so many days, we feel even more fluid!"

Haha, this is my amazing skill module combination! I was only at the expert level back then, but now I'm at the master craftsman level!

Olica said, "That's right! Before, after casting a Destruction spell, I had to pause for a second before I could use the Mana Source to recover mana. That one-second pause meant I never had a chance to recover mana in the heat of battle. But now I can use Destruction with my right hand and Mana Source with my left. Of course, considering this is the other side testing us, I've kept this in reserve!"

Medicia said, "That's right, so this is how we show weakness! They are proud angels, focusing only on a few of our angels, and they look down on us."

Dodolin, however, was quite pleased: "Then they'll look down on me even more and completely ignore me. I hope they continue to look down on me."

The two divine oxen were getting anxious: "Actually, we also have this feeling of smoothness, but we don't have the opportunity to unleash combos. We suspect that as long as we have a chance to engage in close combat, our combo with stun, knockdown, and knock-up effects will leave the opponent unable to fight back!"

Da Chun thought for a moment and said, "Two gang leaders, in this second battle, should you hold back and show weakness?"

Aimee laughed: "We absolutely can't hold back! We have to make our presence felt. Only in this way can we get their attention and draw more fire for our show of weakness! Anyway, they're just wasting their time if they don't get hit!"

Hmm, although you're being sarcastic, you're making a lot of sense!

Da Chun said, "Alright, both leaders, then treat the next battle as a full-fledged training session to get used to this state."

"No problem, Elder!"

Soon, the half-hour break was over, and the bugle call resounded through the sky once again!
—Arena Notice: Match 2 is about to begin. Both teams, please prepare.

Da Chun's team has reappeared on the battlefield and entered preparation time.

At this moment, the forest that had been scorched and destroyed was completely restored to its original state.

What the hell!

Da Chun was shocked: "So that means the mines you guys were mining, Buster, have also been restored?!"

Buster said in a deep voice, "The Divine Stone Mine will not recover; we must continue mining!"

Oh, the rules change as long as the word "god" is attached.

—Arena Notice: Match begins. This match has a time limit of half an hour. It's started!

But the sky was completely empty! Not even the legendary, supposedly enormous griffin was in sight.

Pawa landed and said, "That means it's ground combat. The enemy must have entered the forest!"

Da Chun followed the same old rule: "The whole regiment should keep the pre-battle points in mind, and then play freely."

……

Top Ten Chat Group.

The combined fleet of Michael and Uriel is traveling at full speed through the void. Each side has deployed 10 ships, including two main combat ships that serve only as escorts, and eight special vessels of various types, including a void measurement and communication ship that incorporates the Empire's advanced technology. Master Hubble and several scholars from the Academy are also on board.

There are spaceships specifically designed to open space gates and conduct spatial teleportation. There are energy ships specifically designed to power the spaceships and generate electricity, as well as loading and unloading ships specifically designed to provide the energy ships with large quantities of high-energy military-grade crystals.

The Black Dragon City's special vessels are Bone Tower Ships, magical ships constructed from dragon bones and the skeletons of various powerful creatures. The entire ship is adorned with luxurious gems and massive magic arrays, essentially a giant, super-artifact bone staff capable of unleashing powerful magic to block the force of void storms. In a sense, this ship is more like a vessel from the Undead Empire. To provide this ship with its vast magical energy, a host of surveying ships and crystal mining vessels are needed to follow behind.

At this moment, the group of men who had just finished breakfast were in a very pleasant mood.

Especially after the live broadcast showed that Da Chun was severely weak, everyone ate an extra bowl.

Gabriel laughed and said, "I heard from Liya's butler that while I was sleeping last night, Liya caught a few nightmares and had quite a haul. Then Dachun happened to be seriously ill and needed to be hospitalized, so it's a good opportunity to have the nightmares give him a thorough treatment!"

Michael exclaimed, "Truly worthy of being a royal princess. I suspect her abilities are enhanced Dream Angels. Otherwise, how could she achieve such great results with just a few ordinary Dream Angels, and even withstand a Baron-level opponent? It's almost unbelievable."

Gabriel laughed, "Anyway, we've already seen the three-layered extended dream realm of her Hall of Heroes, what else can't we imagine? By the way, Sariel, has the mermaid received the faith yet?"

Sariel said impatiently, "Stop asking! I want to ask too, it's annoying her!"

Raphael laughed and said, "There's no such thing as an easy thing. The best-case scenario is that once the cigarettes stop, faith is reduced to zero."

Sariel sighed, "It doesn't matter, as long as we can get rid of the Stink Oak Guardian. By the way, have you made any mineral discoveries near your clinic?"

Gabriel sighed, "No, the prospecting machine has drilled down a hundred meters, and it's all soft sand... If divine structures are unrelated to minerals, then this topic is quite complicated..."

Just then, the combined fleet's survey ships also detected the movement of the void storm from afar.

No wreckage of the battle-damaged General Barov was found.

"No wreckage of the Sachima warship or landing craft was found!"

Uriel was suddenly startled: "The landing craft wasn't directly hit, there wasn't even any wreckage?"

Michael also sensed something was wrong: "Are they dead?"

Uriel opened the list of chambers of commerce. Their names, like the guild leader's, were all in a gray "offline" state. This didn't mean they were dead!

Uriel asked incredulously, "Is it possible that they entered a portal?"
