They won the Holy Grail War, but this turned out to be the Virtual Tree Universe.

Chapter 217 The troops are divided into three groups
Dan Lei adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards Huan Long's rebirth based on the Sui Yang Flame that he had seized from her.

Just like before, Huanlong absorbed the Suiyang created by Danlei, which was like planting a time bomb in his own body.

Although Dan Lei cannot control Huan Long through this Sui Yang, he can cause trouble inside her body at any time and can locate Huan Long's position at any time.

It's similar to Danlei having a skill that can cause Huanlong to have stomach aches at any time during battle.

However, even though Dan Lei allowed Huanlong to devour his soul spirit Suiyang, after it re-condensed, the flame's volume was a full third smaller than before.

Clearly, the lost third of the flames was directly destroyed by the divine lord's hunting lightning.

In other words, the Suiyang creature is quite special; it cannot be killed by pure energy attacks unless every single flame of its flame is completely worn away.

If it were any other Great Lord of Annihilation, they would probably be severely crippled, if not killed, by taking a direct hit from Jing Yuan's long-prepared attack.

But after Huanlong was reborn thanks to Danlei's Suiyang, he still had the energy to make threats while running away.

"General and Dragon Lord of the Immortal Ship, this matter is not over yet."

Since our ambush failed to kill me and Xingxiao, now it's time for us to retaliate.

The game can continue, and I look forward to the next encounter.

As soon as Huanlong finished speaking, just as if it had been pre-planned, the ground suddenly shook violently in the Workshop.

Countless tree roots emerged from the ground, completely crushing the Workshop, which had been ravaged by the illusory explosion and resembled a missile bombardment, into ruins.

This apocalyptic scene of disaster made March 7th, who could only maintain her balance by clinging to the ground with her lance, anxious again. She complained...

"How does Huanlong still have such strength after taking such a fierce attack? Where did she get such thick and numerous tree roots?"

Fu Xuan, having reunited with the others after the great formation was broken, answered this question.

"This isn't Huanlong's ability; it's the root of the Jianmu tree. This thing can even grow all the way to the Gongzao Division. Has the seal on the Jianmu tree been completely destroyed?"

Fu Xuan's words were clearly directed at Dan Lei, so Dan Lei spoke the truth.
"The seal on Jianmu was created using the immortal dragon power remaining from the ancient sea."

Once the star core is injected, the uncontrolled immortal dragon power will naturally be suppressed.

"The roots have all grown here; it's certain that the Jianmu tree has broken through the seal."

Fu Xuan was very dissatisfied with Dan Lei's explanation, so he pressed for further details.

"So you don't have a solution? Aren't you the Dragon Lord?"

Fu Xuan's questioning made Dan Lei feel wronged, so he looked at Dan Heng and said...
"You know perfectly well that I have never learned the Dragon Transformation Technique."

My current dragon body was obtained through special techniques and by chance, which reactivated the bloodline of the Vidyadhara Dragon Clan.

"I have absolutely no way of controlling the immortal dragon power beneath the Ancient Sea of ​​Wave Moon!"

When Dan Lei finished speaking, Jing Yuan knew that if they continued the conversation, they would inevitably have to discuss Dan Heng's problem, so he interrupted him directly.

"Alright, let's stop arguing. I can sense that the power of the Jianmu tree is nurturing something; something is about to emerge."

Jingyuan is simply trying to change the subject by bringing up what the Jianmu tree nurtured.

Given the fighting prowess of everyone present, even if Jianmu were to summon Shuhu, it wouldn't survive for more than ten minutes.

It's important to know that Dan Lei possesses weapons that can suppress regeneration, and he also has the ability to counter the fleeting power of [Fire Emperor].

Therefore, when the roots of the Jianmu tree absorbed the energy from the underground of the Gongzao Division, blossomed, and gave birth to the Abundant Xuanlu, the Abundant Xuanlu looked at the crowd in front of it and just wanted to call the police.

Imagine, a "little deer" born just one second ago sees in front of it a Celestial Ship General, a 1.5-star Vidyadhara Dragon Lord, a Celestial Ship Sword Master, a Sword Master's True Disciple, a Lawbringer of Reason, a Star Core Essence, and a Six-Phase Ice Essence.

The key point is that these people were all carrying weapons, looking like they were sharpening their knives.

So, the Abundant Black Deer, which had shaken its body and roared after being born in the game, stared at the crowd in front of it for a few seconds in a daze.

Its limited wisdom told it that these people were not to be trifled with, so it decisively lay down on the ground, practically ready to surrender.

Upon seeing this, Dan Lei immediately laughed.

"Interesting. The ancient book describes the Abundant Black Deer as a place where its footprints are found, where it thrives and its branches flourish."

Unexpectedly, they possess considerable intelligence. Interesting, very interesting.

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan knew that Dan Lei wanted to acquire the deer.

Considering that Dan Lei had even collected something like the computing power worm, he immediately smiled and said...
"If you like, you can keep this deer."

Although they are rare and exotic creatures created by the ancient immortals, they are not vicious beasts that devour human life and flesh; they can be kept as pets.

Upon hearing this, Dan Lei took back the Immortal-Trapping Sword from Jing Liu and immediately controlled the Abundant Mystic Deer. Then, he summoned the Immortal-Slaying Sword and used several strikes of Destructive Flame to sever the roots of the Jianmu tree that connected the Abundant Mystic Deer, severing its connection with the Jianmu tree.

Then, he reached out and placed his hand directly on the head of the Abundant Black Deer, and laughed.
"Little guy, from now on you'd better stay with me obediently, and I'll provide you with food and lodging."

After saying that, he took the Abundant Black Deer as his familiar.

The abundant black deer did not struggle at all, because it knew that if it did, the person in front of it might end up with roasted black deer meat for dinner.

If things go wrong, the fire might be fueled by the very wood that's wrapped around your body.

After finishing, Dan Lei's expression suddenly turned serious, and he said to Jing Yuan...

"Jingyuan, from now on, we have no choice but to split our forces."

Jing Yuan naturally knew what Dan Lei was talking about, and sighed.

"Yes, with Xingxiao's escape, the antimatter legion outside will definitely mobilize soon, and I must lead my troops to meet them in battle."

The wounded soldiers from the Dan Ding Division have probably turned into monsters by now, so reinforcements are needed there, and troops must be dispatched.

Although Huanlong fled, her last words proved she had no intention of leaving Luofu. Therefore, we still need to send people to pursue her to prevent her from causing even greater trouble.

The situation Jingyuan described sounded troubling just from hearing about it.

With the antimatter legion's army attacking, Luo Fu must defend with all its might to hold out until reinforcements arrive, given the army Dan Lei encountered.

However, the problem with the Pill Refining Division cannot be ignored. Otherwise, if the demonic Yin-body monster were to emerge from the Pill Refining Division and wreak havoc on the entire rear of Luofu, the battle would still be lost.

Needless to say, the threat posed by the illusion is immense; just look at the ruins of the Workshop now.

If she really wanted to cause destruction, no amount of grotto-heavens in Luofu would be enough for her to demolish.

After all, Jing Yuan can't be split into two; if he takes care of Xing Xiao, he can't take care of Huan Long.

However, Fu Xuan had good news. She suddenly thought of something and said directly to Dan Lei...

"Danlei, I remember now."

The genius Black Tower contacted me before and asked me to tell you that she wanted to let you know she was safe after the fight, as she had something to say to you.

"By the way, Danlei, could you send Heita to aid Luofu? She's also an Envoy; with two Envoys in charge, Luofu should be safe."

Dan Lei shook his head at Fu Xuan's suggestion.

"It's not that simple. To prevent the enemy from using spatial technology to launch boarding operations, Luofu has a powerful spatial teleportation barrier."

Therefore, the Black Tower cannot directly teleport to Luofu.

Unless Luofu can close the barrier, the Black Tower cannot teleport over. But this would give the antimatter legion outside the city a chance to teleport directly into Luofu, which is too risky.

The Black Tower's teleportation requires a base station as a target point. The nearest base station near Luofu is seven or eight jump distances away. By the time the Black Tower arrives, Zhu Ming and Yao Qing's reinforcements will probably have arrived as well.

But you're right, I need to let you know I'm safe right away.

You should take this opportunity to quickly discuss how to divide the troops.

By the way, Huanlong's problem isn't actually that big. She absorbed the Suiyang I created, which is equivalent to adding a locator inside her body.

I can now track her location in real time.

Moreover, Jing Yuan had previously depleted a third of her power, and with her origin severely damaged, she would be lucky to be able to unleash even half of her full strength now.

What's more, she now has a time bomb of mine inside her.

Next time we meet, I won't need Jingyuan; I can defeat her with some help.

"Mirror Flow and Blade, Jingyuan, you can take them directly to the battlefield."

After saying that, Dan Lei ignored the stunned expressions on everyone's faces, took the jade tablet and walked to the side to report that he was safe.

Danlei first reported that he was safe in a group chat consisting of himself, Heita, and Ruan Mei.
Dan Lei's battle with Huanlong is temporarily over. Huanlong escaped with serious injuries, and I only lost one set of clothes. @Ruan Mei, Black Tower

"Hey, the battle ended quickly. But when I contacted Luo Fu Tai Bu Fu Xuan earlier, I saw you being chased and beaten by Huan Long."

Nguyen Mai: "I'm glad you're safe. I only have one more day's journey to go."

Dan Lei: "?"

Black Tower "???????"

Dan Lei: "What's going on? Ruan Mei, you still have one more day to go? Are you really planning to come to Luofu?"

"Don't come. Luo Fu is about to fight the antimatter legion outside. It's too dangerous for you to come."

Ruan Mei: "It's alright. I've activated two planets, and they've also gathered many of my failed synthetic organisms. The antimatter legion won't be able to take me down in a short time."

When Dan Lei saw that Ruan Mei was going to bring over her failed synthetic organism, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

Think back to the days when Nguyen Mai used Taizyuros cells to conduct experiments; any one of those strange creatures could be the subject of a horror movie.

If they were to bring over two planets, the Cloud Cavalry of Luofu would be terrified.

However, Dan Lei knew that it was impossible to get Nguyen Mai to come now.

Nguyen Mai was far more stubborn than the Black Tower in this regard.

She is the kind of person who is not willful and is very understanding.

But once it gets willful, Black Tower's willfulness is only fit to carry Nguyen May's shoes.

Therefore, Dan Lei decided to minimize Ruan Mei's influence, and so he replied...
Dan Lei: "Alright, contact me before the final jump. I'll give you the coordinates, and you can jump directly to the rear of the antimatter legion to ambush them."

However, I will come to pick you up first, and you will have to come back to Luofu with me.

"Just leave those two activated planets behind the antimatter legion."

Ruan Mei naturally had no objection to Dan Lei's statement.

Ruan Meilai's purpose in coming to Luofu was simple: to keep an eye on Danlei.

If she felt that Danlei was about to "let her down," she could simply knock him out, pack him up, and take him away—it's that simple.

However, when Black Tower saw that Nguyen Mai was about to sneak away again, she became a little unhappy and said directly...
"Danlei, now that Ruan Mei is here, I'm coming too." Black Tower said.

Dan Lei dared not say no, and could only reply
Dan Lei said, "Okay, everyone come on in. I'll show you around the house."

Dan Lei's behavior was typical of someone trying to take advantage of another. Normally, Hei Ta would have objected, but this time, since Ruan Mei didn't object, she definitely wouldn't.

However, what Heita didn't know was that Ruan Mei's strategy for winning over Dan Lei had already been completed. Heita was currently caught in the crossfire between the two, so she wouldn't get a chance to hear Ruan Mei's rebuttal.

Finally, Black Tower could only change the subject.

"What do you mean by 'recognizing a home'? I need to investigate the Luofu network more thoroughly. You don't know, the Iron Tomb that invaded Luofu wasn't the Great Lord of Annihilation, but a destruction program."

This program is extremely dangerous and is still in its infancy. If it truly originated from the Iron Tomb, the Lord of Annihilation, the damage it would cause once completed would be immeasurable.

Moreover, this program is specifically designed for omnic attacks, so Screws was so anxious that he was practically smoking as he tried to locate the source.

That's all for now, I have to go help out, ScrewGumm is urging me.

By the way, when we defeated that Iron Tomb program, we also launched a counterattack against the server that provided the program's computing power.

The computing power for this Iron Curtain program was provided by the antimatter legion ships you discovered.

Now, all the spacecraft's programs need to be restarted. Based on calculations, you have approximately a twenty-hour window.

Since Danlei only knows the storyline before Starrail 3.3, he doesn't know that Onpharos is the cradle of the Iron Tomb.

Dan Lei still believed that Onfaros was conceiving an unborn Great Lord of Annihilation, so he didn't mention Onfaros at all, but instead said...
Dan Lei: "Okay, Black Tower, you go ahead and get busy. Contact me when you're almost there."

After saying this, Dan Lei put away the jade tablet, returned to the group, and spoke to Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan, who were still discussing how to divide the troops.
"Gentlemen, stop arguing for now and listen to my latest intelligence."

Don't worry, it's all good news.

First of all, our first batch of reinforcements will arrive tomorrow.

Nguyen Mai activated two planets, filling them with various creatures created from her failed experiments, which will then be deployed behind the antimatter legion.

However, don't even think about cooperating with those creatures. As a genius in the field of creation, Nguyen Mai's creations are monsters to ordinary people.

Furthermore, Black Tower told me that what attacked Luofu was not the Iron Tomb itself, but a program of its.

While they were repelling the Iron Tomb program, they also managed to crash the servers that provided the computing power.

They then discovered that the computing power was provided by an antimatter legion fleet stationed outside the jump range.

Therefore, that fleet was unable to launch an attack for twenty hours.

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan's eyes lit up, and he stroked his chin as he spoke.
"These are all really good news."

Since there is a 20-hour window of opportunity, it is easy to divide the forces.

The escort warships that Yu Kong had secretly prepared no longer needed to escape.

The Jingfeng ship can also be used as a raiding mothership again.

Fu Qing, I order you to lead three squadrons of the Cloud Cavalry, in coordination with the puppet army, to recapture the Dan Ding Division within ten hours.

After you're done, come and meet me. I need to launch a surprise attack on the antimatter legion before they can move.

After saying that, Jing Yuan said to Dan Lei
"Alright, you can take out the promised 50,000 puppets now. We can head straight for the Pill Refining Department from here."

Also, Huanlong is in your hands now. You choose the people to drive her out of Luofu.
