Ye Feihong returned to his position as a Farm Owner, needing an hour to regroup. He had already eliminated the first two waves of dark creatures. The other Farm Owners also had a few minutes to prepare.
In the distance, the Imperial Guard Monitoring Room was busy as well. Upon seeing Ye Feihong escape, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They broadcasted the movements of the remaining dark creatures to all Mountain Farms via the Communication Device. The team at Ming Farm meticulously analyzed the monsters' advancing directions.
Anyone who wasn't Ye Feihong and was not paying attention to the Communication Device was Xiao Pangzi Huang Youfu. The continuous exertion had worn Little Fatty out. Although he heard the incessant sounds from the Communication Device, he chose not to look and turned off the device's sound instead.
The other Farm Owners, being closer together, could discuss tactical cooperation. They analyzed which waves of dark creatures were heading toward their group and what types they needed to deal with. However, for Huang Youfu, none of this mattered. He was at the forefront alongside Ye Feihong, in a similar predicament with no one to assist him.
If the dark creatures discovered his cave, he would have no choice but to defend the entrance with all his might while waiting for Ye Feihong's support. Therefore, tactics and the types of monsters were irrelevant to Huang Youfu. His primary goal was simply to avoid detection as much as possible.
If discovered, the plan was to buy time and wait for support.
Clever Huang Youfu lay on the ground, quickly formulating a strategy. His most pressing concern was to recover his strength as soon as possible. The remaining Farm Owners were also aware of the situation, coordinating their resources and efforts based on the terrain and their surroundings.
It had been nearly forty days since they arrived at Heaven Gate, and finally, it was their turn for a direct confrontation. Not everyone was as timid as Huang Youfu. For instance, Lu Xiaoman, a girl filled with excitement and eagerness for battle, had longed for this moment. She did not want to be just a bystander.
Soon, the third wave of dark creatures passed by Huang Youfu's cave. Hiding inside, he trembled in fear, hardly daring to breathe. Fortunately, he managed to avoid detection. This group of dark creatures seemed unskilled at climbing; they traversed from the valley below.
They were a pack of Dark Lions. Much larger than Azure Star Lions, each one was a massive beast, reaching lengths of several meters—each as big as a mid-sized sedan. They advanced along the valley towards Heaven Gate, their black manes giving them an imposing presence. With a graceful yet powerful stride, they moved forward.
The Dark Lions charged with great speed, but they had one significant drawback: their enormous heads made them formidable in attack but cumbersome in agility.
However, due to their unbalanced center of gravity, they were unable to maintain a fast run for long periods. Similarly, they could not engage in activities like rock climbing or tree climbing. Therefore, they chose to walk through the valley.
They made their way through the winding paths of the valley, entering the territory of Liu Meili and Wang Mazi. The two of them were currently standing in front of two caves, with the valley below them.
As Dark Lion passed by, a large number of Thornballs fell from above the valley. This was the result of Liu Meili and Wang Mazi's hard work on the first day, earning them Thorn Seeds. These Thorns were merely Seed Level and were defensive-type plants. Through their efforts, Liu Meili and Wang Mazi had shaped these Thorns into a spherical form.
