Red Hair sat on a tree, her gaze looking into the distance. Her head full of long red hair was loosely spread behind her, gently swaying with the breeze, making her slender figure appear extrely beautiful.
If it weren't for the fact that she was holding the corpse of a Level Eight monster over three ters long in her hand, allowing the small bone dragon beside her to absorb it, the scene would have been even more beautiful.
Since Red Hair and the Undead Dragon Fish successfully evolved to Level Nine, and since Ye Zhongming went up to the sky, she, like Little Tiger, felt that nothing was interesting.
Fighting? Having beco a Level Nine lifeform, there weren't many existences that were her match. The Talking Lady and the Black Cat could, but they belonged to the Cloud Peak series, too, so they couldn't fight to the death. After all, it wasn't like before. Now, whether it was Red Hair herself or the Talking Lady, their intelligence had reached a certain level, and they certainly wouldn't fight life-and-death battles like before. Others would definitely not start a fight with her.
Since evolving successfully these days, only Yangos, relying on becoming a Level Nine dragon, had been a bit cocky. Once, it failed to execute an order properly and went off to harass female beasts in the dense mountainous forests, nearly causing the operation to fail. When Sister Lei criticized it, it even dared to glare. She and the Undead Dragon Fish tead up to teach it a lesson; that ti, they used about eighty percent of their strength.
"Today, there's only one Level Nine on the other side. Will you go or shall I go?" Red Hair asked, stroking the Undead Dragon Fish, which could now shrink and expand freely in size.
The Undead Dragon Fish raised its head, flapped its wings, and then flew onto Red Hair's shoulder, transmitting a ssage.
"Together? You want to go back for the eting?"
Red Hair couldn't help but laugh.
The Undead Dragon Fish's self-awareness was completely unleashed after evolution. Rather than saying it was an undead life, it was more like a life with an undead body.
Now, it was even interested in Cloud Peak's specific affairs.
Red Hair's smile only lasted halfway before the Undead Dragon Fish gave her another ssage.
"Huh? You said, you feel danger?"
Red Hair's expression beca much more serious, and her super-sensing ability began to cover the surroundings.
"Is there so powerful lifeform near us? Or sothing else?"
"Just a feeling of danger, but not urgent?"
Red Hair was left baffled, not knowing what the Undead Dragon Fish really wanted to express.
Actually, occasionally, Red Hair also had so heart-palpitating feelings, but they lasted too briefly. She preferred to regard this as an emotion produced as she gradually began to 'humanize'.
"Let's go then, let's go kill that troubleso guy and supplent your body."
…………………………………………
The battle, from its launch to its conclusion, lasted only six hours.
This still included the ti spent pursuing the remnants. The formal battle only took a little over an hour before the enemy collapsed under the powerful offensive of the Cloud Peak army.
The reason the enemy collapsed so quickly in a battle involving several hundred thousand people was primarily due to two key factors. The first point was spiritual: not long after the battle started, the Level Nine Evolved they relied on and regarded as their leader was killed by one person and one dragon. The process didn't even take ten minutes. The second point was the overwhelming force of the Cloud Peak army. The sky-covering war beasts and the cavalry riding them were like a torrent, directly breaking through their formation.
Thus ensued a rout and pursuit.
For such enemy main forces that dared to challenge Cloud Peak directly, any Cloud Peak team, regardless of its style, would not show rcy or forgiveness. They would eliminate as many as possible. Only afterwards would they adopt a soft policy towards the surrounding people.
Six hours later, the pursuit stopped. Li Daqian, participating in battle for the first ti as the overall commander after rging into Cloud Peak, quickly issued orders.
"Secure the battlefield within two hours, then withdraw from here. It's estimated that a large number of mutated lifeforms will co to feed after we leave. The teams remaining here can freely hunt under the leadership of their respective squad leaders. However, rember that they can only deploy one-third of their troops at most. The rest can hunt in sequence. They must ensure the camp remains intact. If they encounter a powerful Level Nine lifeform, they should imdiately defend and send soone back to Cloud Peak to report."
Because the core mbers were all temporarily leaving to return to Cloud Peak for the eting, Li Daqian was not only handling the post-battle aftermath this ti but also explaining how the teams should respond to situations they might encounter after their departure.
"We probably won't be away for too long, probably about one day before we return."
Li Daqian looked up at the huge Undead Dragon Fish passing overhead, a flash of envy in his eyes.

"Cloud Peak really thinks highly of , sending two Level Nines at once."
Deacon Tong looked at Mo Ye and the strangely dressed woman beside her, smiling bitterly.
Five Ring Money, a na once resounding throughout the post-apocalyptic world, was now on the verge of destruction.
This 'impending destruction' ca a bit too quickly.
Yesterday, the overall strength of Five Ring Money was still intact. Today, with Mo Ye and the Death King Tree, who was now no different from a human, standing here, it ant Five Ring Money was about to be destroyed.
"I've always been curious. You waited so long after launching the war against the whole world to co for . Was it because of Deacon Water?"
This ti, Mo Ye spoke.
"She did indeed plead for you, and even wanted to co to persuade you herself, but Sister Lei didn't agree."
"Oh? Why? Cloud Peak doesn't cherish a bloodless opportunity? Are you so confident about destroying Five Ring Money without significant losses?" Deacon Tong asked with great interest.
"No." Mo Ye shook her head. "Not letting Deacon Water co was just to prevent her from seeing the scene of her forr good friend being killed due to different choices. That would be too cruel."
"You know, Cloud Peak is always very good to its own people." Mo Ye's hand slowly lifted.
Deacon Tong smiled coldly, flas rising in her eyes.
"It seems you didn't understand." Mo Ye suddenly said.
Deacon Tong was slightly stunned, but she still didn't give up on raising her aura; she prepared to fight.
"Deacon Water pleading for you... And coming to persuade you personally is a different thing. Sister Lei didn't agree to her coming personally, but she agreed to the plea for you."
"Hmph, if you want to fight, then fight! Why say so many complicated things!" Deacon Tong felt insulted; Mo Ye and the Death King were just lecturing her from a high-up position, like victors.
"I think you should listen first, then decide whether to fight or not. Neither your Five Ring Money's 'Money Army' nor our Cloud Peak's teams mind waiting a little longer."
"Fine, you speak."
Mo Ye nodded upon hearing this and said slowly, “Deacon Water pleaded, asking if we could delay dealing with Five Ring Money for a while. That way, the others would exchange all their resources for magic crystals, allowing the most talented Deacon Tong to first beco a Level Nine Evolved to increase her courage to resist Cloud Peak. Then, when she ca here afterwards, she could get a good position and wouldn't feel like she was living under soone else's roof. It should be more acceptable to her than when she was Level Eight. She is a stubborn person; if she can't think it through, she would foolishly fight to the death."
Deacon Tong closed her eyes. Mo Ye and the Death King Tree weren't in a hurry and just waited there.
A full five minutes later, when Manager Tong opened her eyes again, the flas within them were gone.
Mo Ye smiled. She knew that from today on, there would be no more Five Ring Money in the world.
