Why is my territory in a 2D anime art style?

For two consecutive days, Sui An's territory returned to normal. This was probably because Zhang Rui's territory had been breached, which led to an increase in the number of wandering source beasts in the vicinity.

For Sui An now, this is naturally a good thing. He can earn about 10 Origin Stones a day, which is quite a good income.

Otherwise, we can only wait for the Blood Moon to arrive and open the rift, bringing in new Wandering Source Beasts.

When Sui An first chose the map, he only did so to save his life. Now that he felt more confident, he suddenly disliked the place.

Line 7 is a relatively popular line in Jiangcheng, and it brings together many low-level territories.

Therefore, resources are usually divided equally among many territories. Unless a rift occasionally appears and everyone gets a treat, most of the time the resources are just enough to get by.

It's no wonder He Chong would want to do this. I heard that he's almost out of space in his level 2 territory, and there's no improvement without upgrading. He's being held back by the Soul Source Essence, so he must be feeling quite uncomfortable.

Having a mom who's a mid-level alchemist is amazing, the resources are incredible!

"Hey, why hasn't Brother Zhen come yet?" Sui An stood at the gate of the courtyard and glanced at the main road. Logically speaking, the convoy should pass by his gate before 10 o'clock.

"It's 11 o'clock. What happened today?"

According to what Wang Zhen said yesterday, the green blueprints should be delivered today, but he had been waiting for a long time and hadn't seen the convoy pass by.

Beep~ Beep~ Beep~

A familiar loudspeaker blared from afar, but it sounded unusually urgent. Sui An frowned and quickly climbed the watchtower to look.

Sure enough, the transport vehicle was making rapid turns on the road, and behind it followed many professionals who were running at a speed that was almost as fast as the transport vehicle.

The combat professionals on the ground launched various attacks from time to time, trying to stop the transport vehicle, but most of them were blocked by the professionals on the vehicle. In addition, the driver's extremely wild driving skills caused the vehicle to swerve wildly in an S-shape on the road, and for a time, the situation was deadlocked.

The transport vehicle headed straight towards his territory. It must have been Wang Zhen's vehicle. He knew he had three elemental statues and seemed to want to use his territory to regroup.

"Why is it just him in one car?" Sui An looked around but couldn't see a convoy at all.

In the past, I would sometimes leave the convoy temporarily because the vehicle was going to collect materials alone, but I didn't hear any word from the convoy today.

As the car drew closer to his territory, Sui An could already see Wang Zhen behind it, carrying a long spear that shone with golden light, fighting and retreating.

The two seemed to be professionals at least at level 4, and Wang Zhen was finding it difficult to keep up.

Without bothering to understand the cause and effect, Sui An directly moved the three stone statues to the east. The elemental stone statues would not actively attack creatures other than source beasts, so he needed to actively control them.

By simultaneously connecting one's mind to three elemental statues and merging their perspectives together, with the core of the territory as the center, one can control all three elemental statues to attack at the same time.

This was a small skill, and it took Sui An two days to get used to it.

Wang Zhen swept the two men aside with a single shot, and took the opportunity to turn his head and glance at the territory not far away. Seeing that Sui An was already standing on the watchtower, he suddenly felt at ease.

The group was completely covered except for their eyes. The two level 4 professionals leading the group followed Wang Zhen's gaze toward the territory and suddenly smiled contemptuously.

"You think you can save me by running near a level 1 territory?"

"Just move aside and let us drive away, wouldn't that be great? Why fight to the death..."

The two men took turns speaking, their words revealing that they viewed Wang Zhen as a fish on a chopping board.

Wang Zhen's spear was covered in pale golden source energy, as if it were cast from gold. He thrust it forward suddenly, and a spear beam shot out, shattering a rope of flame that was wrapping around him.

"You don't need to save me. Just stall for time, and Captain Zheng will arrive. Then you'll all be dead!"

"Drag? Tell me, how do you drag a level 1 territory?!"

The masked man with flames looked at the huge crossbow bolt fired from his territory with disdain. His flaming whip had already been restored, and with a slight twitch, he shattered the crossbow bolt in mid-air, turning it into light and dissipating into the air.

"Hahaha~ You think you can rely on these mere crossbow bolts?"

"Who are you people? How dare you attack the Ping An Trading Company's convoy? Aren't you afraid of being wiped out by the Jiangcheng army?!"

Wang Zhen questioned loudly, but suddenly his expression changed. He raised his spear and blocked a fierce slash from another masked leader. The spear shaft bent violently, and his body trembled as he retreated rapidly.

The impact was so strong that it dragged two shallow trenches in the ground.

"Don't ask anymore. Now that we've taken action, what do you think?"

The knife-wielder's voice was deep and resonant. He emanated no colored light, yet each strike was powerful and heavy, causing far greater damage than the whip-throwing man.

"Kid, you have excellent fighting talent. If it were just me alone, I certainly couldn't defeat you, and I might even be killed by you. But in a 2-on-1 situation, you have no chance!"

Wang Zhen felt an unbearable tightness in his chest and almost coughed up blood.

He felt a little heavy-hearted. At this moment, there was no sign of Captain Zheng appearing yet, but he had been protecting the car by enduring attacks one after another, and was now injured.

"Tch~"

The transport vehicle dodged the attack from the low-level professionals with a sharp turn and stopped at the gate of Sui An's courtyard. The five bald men on the vehicle jumped out and blocked the attackers.

With 6 against 10, and the opposing team having two level 4 professionals, their strength completely overwhelmed Wang Zhen and his group.

"This bug is so annoying!" The flaming whip shattered another crossbow bolt; the masked man was thoroughly fed up.

"We'll wipe out this trash territory later!"

"Sure thing, we'll show him what intermediate level is all about later!"

Wang Zhen's heart skipped a beat. He had clearly arrived near Sui An's territory, so why was Sui An not controlling the elemental statues to attack, but instead just shooting crossbow bolts? Could it be that the elemental statues couldn't attack people?

The moment this thought crossed Wang Zhen's mind, he was suddenly filled with terror: "Won't I harm Sui An?!"

Sui An stood on the watchtower, occasionally firing an arrow. He did not attack directly with the elemental statue, but instead counted down the time to start charging up.

He knew perfectly well that the greatest pressure came from those two intermediate professionals; ordinary attacks wouldn't cause much damage.

As the people drew closer, Sui An shouted, "Please leave the vicinity of my territory, or I will really open fire!"

"Haha~ That made me laugh~" The whip-wielder looked at Sui An, who was baring his teeth and brandishing his claws, and suddenly burst into laughter.

"He said he was going to open fire, I'm so scared!"

"Ignore him, take down this kid first!" The man with the knife completely disregarded Sui An in the territory. It was just a level 1 territory; he could easily destroy it with a single slash.

Wang Zhen's face grew increasingly pale, his arms ached unbearably and he could barely hold on, and blood even trickled from the corner of his mouth. The brothers near the car were also in grave danger.

As the elemental statues grew brighter, Sui An suddenly shouted, "Retreat!"

The shout was so loud, almost hysterical, that even the masked man paused for a moment in surprise.

Wang Zhen's eyes suddenly brightened, and he immediately understood Sui An's intention. He unleashed his source energy, and the powerful golden spear swept across the blade, stopping the swordsman's forward momentum. He then used the force of the spear to retreat rapidly.

"Chirp~"

A very loud sound rang in everyone's ears, and lightning transformed into a white line in the air. The Night Raven Phantom instantly struck the slightly stiff knife-wielding man.

At a distance of no more than 10 meters, this super magic bullet gave the knife-wielder almost no chance to dodge, and he directly took the hit of the night raven.

"boom!"

The violent explosion created a powerful wave, causing Wang Zhen to instinctively take another step back.

The man wielding the knife was knocked back by the explosion, and his expression changed slightly.

He glanced in the direction of the lord, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw three peculiar stone statues. One of them was dim and looked like an ordinary stone, but the other two were shining brightly.

"Oh no..."

"boom!"

"boom!"

Three super-powerful magic bullets struck the knife-wielding man in quick succession, their combined impact sending him flying.

The long sword in his hand was instantly blasted several meters away, and his protective gear and clothing were blown to shreds, revealing his extremely strong body.

But when Sui An saw this, his expression darkened. Even under the attack of three powerful charged shells, the man's chest was only charred and crackled with electricity, which could not be considered a serious injury.

Are intermediate-level professionals really that terrifying?
