Thanks for the invitation, I just entered the chat group after traveling through Under One Person.

Chapter 198 Human Sea Tactics
The righteous faction landed on the ground in the helicopter, only to be immediately besieged by the nine shadow legions. This was because Cheng Yiyi's Eye of Aurora couldn't instantly teleport her to the pyramid containing the Book of History.

Furthermore, the current state of things in Australia is unknown to them, and they dare not teleport recklessly. They can only find out the situation by breaking in from the outside. The Eye of Aurora, however, can serve as their trump card for retreat, allowing them to leave Australia at any time.

As for why their primary target was the location of the Book of Time, it's because Morti isn't completely brainless. He'd naturally want to guard against them using the Book of Time to turn the tide, so he'd be stationed there. Whether they wanted to defeat Morti or utilize the Book of Time, they had to go to the pyramids.

Upon landing, the pressure on them instantly increased. While in the helicopter, they only faced the Nightbat Legion, since among the nine Shadow Legions, only the Nightbat Legion possessed aerial combat capabilities.

However, they dared not remain at high altitude for too long. If they stayed at high altitude, the helicopter might be damaged, and with the Nightbats watching them closely, they would face the dual risks of falling from a great height and being attacked by the Shadow Legion.

In their team, only Song Shuhang, who could use the Chicken Talisman, and Ai Haibara, who received Song Shuhang's help and wore the Blue Jade Armor. As the weakest member of the team, Ai Haibara was lent the Blue Jade Armor by Song Shuhang, who controlled the power of fire demonic energy and several talismans.

Upon reaching the ground, they would undoubtedly face the complete nine Shadow Legions. As expected, the nine Shadow Legions attacked as soon as they landed, like a raging tide from hell.

The horizon began to tremble, and dark shadows, like the claws of demons, surged in with an aura of endless destruction.

The shadowy ninjas moved like ghosts, their speed astonishing. The samurai swords and shuriken in their hands gleamed with a cold light, and each swing was accompanied by a shrill whistling sound, as if they could shred the air itself.

Their scarlet eyes were cold and merciless, like the gaze of death, sending chills down one's spine. They lacked the gentleness they showed when serving the corrupted Xiaoyu, perhaps because even in her corruption, Xiaoyu retained a childlike innocence, and any negative emotions she might have were superficial.

The ninja group is the most versatile, but not the most dangerous. The Blade Squad arrives like ghosts. Their bodies seem to be formed from the purest darkness, their hands transforming into sharp steel claws, gleaming with a bloodthirsty cold light.

The commotion caused by the troll army was not to be ignored; they were as massive as mountains, their footsteps so heavy they seemed capable of shattering the earth. The warrior army, clad in jet-black armor and wielding indestructible shadow katanas, charged forward with overwhelming force.

The alien group emerged rather eerily from the surrounding shadows, their bodies twisted and deformed, like monsters from another world... The Shadow Kingdom could also be considered an interdimensional cup.

These creatures can stretch and extend their bodies at will, making their attack methods incredibly varied and difficult to defend against. The Hunter Claw Gang is exceptionally robust, with a cone-shaped left hand like a drill and a pincer-like right hand like scissors, their attacks swift and cruel.

The Shadow Eaters swarmed in like a pack of hungry sharks, devouring any shadow they could catch. However, these small creatures were few in number, likely only a small fraction of the main group, blending seamlessly into the massive shadow army, making them difficult to spot.

The remaining Nightbat warriors circled overhead, moving with incredible speed. Waves of light emanating from their palms struck the earth like the Grim Reaper's scythe, leaving devastation in their wake.

There were also dangerous mantis-shaped clusters, like apex predators, exuding an incredibly sharp aura, as if they all regarded them as prey.

A single Shadow Legion is already quite troublesome, but with nine Shadow Legions cooperating with each other, the weaknesses of a single Shadow Legion will be minimized. For Old Man Chen Long and his group, the siege of nine Shadow Legions is more difficult than dealing with the eight demons.

Even if the eight demons are powerful, they are still just eight strong individuals. As long as Daddy finds the corresponding spells and materials and successfully casts them, he can defeat the eight demons.

The Shadow Legion was simply too large in number; Morty had only gained control of them through a few masks. Furthermore, their group wasn't adept at area-of-effect damage, making the Shadow Legion's sheer numbers their most difficult challenge to deal with.

To truly eliminate the Shadow Legion, they must first eliminate Shadow Morty. But to find Morty, they must first break through the encirclement of the nine Shadow Legions. "Judging from the current situation, your Stand is still the least useful," Cheng Yiyi teased Joseph, observing her teammates' killing efficiency.

In the current situation, the most efficient enemy killer is Dad. As a Qi mage, Dad's magic is very effective against the Shadow Legion. He wields two pufferfish artifacts and keeps casting spells non-stop, making smoke billow from the pufferfish's mouth.

Another member whose killing efficiency is on par with his father is Song Shuhang, who holds several talismans and controls the demonic energy of fire. He floats in mid-air, sweeping away large areas with fireballs, and is the only member with AOE damage.

The next group consists of Chen Long and Tru, who wield the offensive Dragon Talisman and Pig Talisman. Their slightly lower efficiency is entirely due to the fact that using the magic of the talismans too frequently puts a strain on their bodies, especially the Pig Talisman, which requires visual attacks.

The Dragon Talisman was alright, but you could see it was overloaded, burning Chen Long's hand so badly he screamed. He could switch hands and continue fighting. Ai Haibara, wearing the Blue Rainbow Armor, was also quite efficient at clearing enemies, but she couldn't compare to Little Superman Chen Long, who, even in that armor, could fight the Earth Demon, Di Kui.

As for Cheng Yiyi, a cultivator at the first rank can't master any combat techniques. It's not that she has no combat ability at all, but she mainly relies on close combat, so it's normal for her to be inefficient when facing a large number of enemies.

Joseph's situation was similar; ranged attack capabilities were even rarer among low-level martial artists. His Stand initially had some effect, but it quickly attracted the attacks of the Mantis Squad. The vines he lashed out were cut by the Mantis Squad's scythes.

Cheng Yiyi, a first-grade cultivator, was known for her inefficient abilities, but the demonic scroll she obtained at Lotus Temple proved invaluable.

She imprinted two magical runes on her palms with ink, thus controlling the power of the natural elements. One rune on her palm symbolized a raging wind, and the other symbolized fire.

As Cheng Yiyi completed the branding, the gale seemed to hear a summons, transforming into sharp wind blades that swept towards the shadow legion.

Wherever the wind blades passed, members of the Shadow Legion were sliced ​​into pieces, their bodies swaying in the gale like fragile pieces of paper. However, the Shadow Legion quickly reformed after dissipating and launched another attack.

The flames, like an enraged dragon, lunged at the Shadow Legion. Members of the Shadow Legion struggled in the flames, their bodies consumed by the fire, hissing and burning. Wherever the flames touched, only scorched earth remained; a portion of the Shadow Legion's strength gradually dissipated under the scorching heat.

"Damn it!" Joseph saw this and realized that his Stand had become the most useless one again. However, Joseph was only helpless for a moment. He immediately ran to Cheng Yiyi and imprinted two magic runes on his hands, instantly increasing the efficiency of clearing out the Shadow Legion.

“Dad, these Shadow Legion soldiers keep coming. We can’t keep going like this. Shouldn’t we…” Cheng Yi leaned closer to her father and said.

The old man nodded. Cheng Yiyi was right. He definitely wouldn't have been able to endure such a high-intensity battle before he started cultivating. Even now that his physique was gradually recovering, he couldn't keep going like this indefinitely.

It wasn't hard to see that Chen Long had dragon talisman marks burned into both of his palms, and Tru's eyes were red, as if he had been exposed to onions for a long time. This couldn't go on. Knowing Cheng Yiyi's intentions, the old man tossed the rat talisman he was carrying to Cheng Yiyi.

After obtaining the Rat Talisman, Cheng Yiyi immediately approached Sheriff Black, who was being protected by the others, under their cover. Next to Sheriff Black was a life-sized sculpture, made of plastic for easy carrying, almost like a life-size figurine.

Anyway, the Rat Talisman's effect doesn't discriminate based on the sculpting material; it works on stone and wood. Sheriff Black's involvement in the battle was pointless, so they just had him carry the statue of Archmage Lope along with them.
