In Battle Through the Heavens, lying down makes you stronger.

Chapter 158 Sacrificing the Smaller for the Greater Good

As time goes by, the bright moon hangs high in the sky.

The headquarters of the Desert Iron Mercenary Group was completely silent.

In the training ground, the sleeping Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Suddenly, a pair of large eyes opened slightly.

He muttered and cursed.

"Damn it! Someone actually dares to mess with your Lion King grandpa's beard?!"

"In that case, I'll leave you all here!"

So the Amethyst Winged Lion King rested its head on its paws and continued to doze off.

Before long, a strange partridge call rang out.

Dozens of powerful figures dressed in black robes continuously leaped over the walls, scaling the courtyard walls surrounding the Mo Tie Mercenary Group onto the training ground.

The group was well-trained.

They were all dressed in black and masked, and did not wear any identification.

These people acted swiftly, and as soon as they landed, they immediately formed sophisticated battle formations of three or five people.

With good teamwork, even if they encounter a stronger opponent who is a level above them, they can still put up a fight.

A short while later.

Dozens of men in black had assembled.

Two figures, one tall and one short, leaped directly from the wall into the courtyard.

Perhaps because they were confident in their own abilities, or perhaps because of their different statuses, both of them were dressed in black, their faces covered, and wearing black cloaks.

The two landed and cautiously surveyed their surroundings.

All the men in black bowed and clasped their hands in greeting to the two men.

The leader, a man in a black cloak, raised his hand.

The other men in black nodded in unison and quickly took out a white medicine bottle from their bodies.

Randomly, he quietly and slowly made his way towards the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

Seeing that the distance was about right, the man pressed his hand down heavily.

A slight knocking sound,

The white pills were immediately thrown by all the black men towards the area around the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

A white pill fell to the ground.

Wisps of white smoke slowly appeared.

With each breath of the Amethyst Winged Lion King, most of it was inhaled into his body.

Only a small amount spilled out.

About fifteen minutes later, the man in black waved his hand.

Immediately, a thin man in black stepped forward and examined the amethyst king closely, pulling at its claws and flipping its eyelids, but the amethyst winged lion king remained motionless.

After the inspection, the man in black turned around and made a hand gesture.

The leader in the black cloak nodded in satisfaction and slowly stepped forward.

He casually ripped off the black cloth covering his face, revealing an aged face.

This person was none other than the second elder of the Mo family, who was in the inn today.

The Second Elder stepped forward.

Looking at the motionless Amethyst Winged Lion King, he nodded in satisfaction.

He spoke to an elderly man beside him, who was also dressed in a black robe.

"Third brother, what do you think of this purple lion?"

The third one was none other than the third elder of the Mo family.

Hearing the Second Elder's words and looking at the Purple-Gold Winged Lion King, I felt something was off.

That is to say,

"Second Brother, I heard that this Purple Lion is a fourth-tier magical beast. It's so big, and the thirty or forty bottles of bewitching incense we prepared seem to be..."

The second elder laughed heartily and said...

"Third brother, you don't know this, but this magical beast was seriously injured."

"Look at this bruised and swollen face, look at these eyes, one big and one small, and this nose, oh my, it's truly pitiful to see."

After a moment's thought, the Third Elder smiled and nodded.

"Second brother is right, let's continue."

The Second Elder glanced at the Third Elder.

"Third brother, this is family property! Do you understand?"

The Third Elder looked slightly nervous and nodded.

"Yes, I understand!"

A hint of resentment flickered in his eyes, but it was well concealed.

The second elder nodded, not taking it to heart.

With a wave of his hand,

"Tie up this monster, carry it back to the clan immediately, and hand it over to the clan leader for disposal. You will all be rewarded."

"Remember, under no circumstances should the monster's life be harmed during the transport process."

"Only the limbs of living magical beasts are most valuable when transplanted; the effect of transplanting the corpses of dead magical beasts will be greatly reduced."

"Yes, Second Elder!" All the men in black nodded in unison.

Then they quickly pulled out all sorts of things from their belongings, including chains, ropes, fishing nets, and other restraints.

The Third Elder cupped his hands in greeting to the Second Elder.

"Second brother, you have found a magical beast of this caliber for the family. You will surely be rewarded by the clan leader upon your return."

The Second Elder was secretly pleased and laughed heartily.

He waved his hand modestly and said,

"Not at all, it's all thanks to the hard work of my subordinates, who are always thinking about serving the family."

"Me..."

Before he could finish speaking, a series of hurried, intermittent, and horrifying screams rang in his ears.

"Aaaaaah!"

"Bang bang bang!"

It was like setting off firecrackers, the sound never-ending.

The second and third elders hurriedly turned their heads to look ahead.

Suddenly, the purple lion, a magical beast at the Douling level, appeared.

He suddenly stood up, his eyes fixed intently on the two of them.

Looking at the men he had brought with him, all of them, dozens of them, had vanished without a trace.

All that remained were shattered remains and bits of flesh scattered on the ground.

"what!"

The second elder cried out in terror.

He plopped down on the ground, pointing at the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

"You, you, you, what the hell are you?"

The Third Elder, standing to the side, rolled his eyes.

"Second brother, don't be a coward!"

Before he finished speaking, he turned around and quickly rushed towards the wall next to the training ground.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was immediately delighted.

"Heh heh heh, you dare to run away in front of me?"

"Do you think you can escape?"

Immediately, with a wave of its claw, a Dou Huang-level Dou Qi surged forth and attacked the Third Elder.

The Third Elder, who was rushing towards the wall at lightning speed, was overjoyed as he saw the wall in his sights.

As long as you climb over it, you will definitely escape danger!

It seems that the second-in-command isn't going to be defeated today, but a crisis is brewing.

I have no choice but to sacrifice the greater good for you!

However, just as he was about to kick the wall.

Suddenly he stopped, and his whole body trembled violently.

The whole person just went "bang"

It dissipated into a cloud of red blood mist in mid-air, without even letting out a scream.

The Second Elder stared at the Amethyst Winged Lion King in horror.

He said in a trembling voice,

"You speak human language, you...you're a sixth-tier magical beast?"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King grinned smugly, revealing one or two rows of snow-white, gleaming teeth.

"Hehe, you've got a good eye, kid."

Then, with a flick of its paw, a white pill appeared in front of it.

"Is this what you call a sleeping potion?"

"It smells good, very pleasant. Come on, give me two hundred more bottles so I can have a good smell."

"Cough cough cough!"

The Second Elder was quite shocked by the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

This kind of bewitching incense is no ordinary item, let alone a typical fourth-tier magical beast.

Even a fifth-tier magical beast can be knocked to the ground if one is not careful.

The arm of that fifth-tier Mountain-Breaking Ape in the clan was obtained in this way.
