It didn’t take long since they faced off, and Ye Zhongming broke free, but both sides exchanged many skills. They had a rough understanding of their opponents.


    However, such understanding was limited and not 100% confirmed, which buried some suspense for the following battle.


    Ye Zhongming was really quick when he carried the two of them, but obviously, it couldn’t compare to when he was alone. What surprised him was that Royal Guild was able to keep close. It was as if the black mist had increased their speed.


    With their speed, they arrived at the island''s edge, and Vengeful Blood Ocean was ahead.


    If the ocean water were blue, the trees were green, and the sun was in the sky, this would be a perfect resort.


    Royal Guild warriors caught up. Although some mutated trees blocked them briefly, the team buff allowed them to end the battle quickly. They surrounded the three of them on the ocean again.


    Their vision was clear here, and nothing was obstructing them, which was good for attacks.


    The Royal Guild chief saw that they stopped running, so he laughed and shook his head at Ye Zhongming. He was telling them clearly that they wouldn’t be able to run.


    Ye Zhongming used his gaze to reply to him that he wasn’t running.


    No one said a word. They understood what each other meant through their gazes.


    The chief waved. Royal Guild warriors spread out once again. Shield soldiers at the front, spears behind and the hooks furthest at the back.


    Ye Zhongming didn’t know if those strong spears had a cooldown time and if he could use that destructive black flame blade. He only knew that he would be able to fight them here.


    His eyes flashed black. The black was so dark as if it came from hell.


    Ye Zhongming activated his bloodline, Hell Envoy!


    At the same time, the sand around him started to spiral, forming a sand monster the same height as Ye Zhongming.


    Royal Guild needed a big space, and so did he to lay out the puppet formation! The forest was not beneficial for these puppets.


    Those black puppets turned gold because Ye Zhongming experimented on them and used the Treasure Nurturing Gourd to raise their quality.


    Although he couldn’t use the gourd on the formation or the Proof of the Puppet, he could use it on puppets that he had modified.


    Remember when Gao Yi and Zhao Xiangxue looked at him like he was crazy? It was because he used the equipment upgrade scroll to get the Treasure Nurturing Gourd to gold and then used the red gem to absorb and provide energy to the Kes Charger quickly. He used this equipment to provide energy to the gourd and quickly raised these puppets to gold.


    Gao Yi and Zhao Xiangxue had fought gold puppets before and knew that they had many weaknesses. But their strengths were a huge threat. Fighting too many at once would force them to flee.


    Ye Zhongming used ways that they couldn’t think of for his equipment to complement and help each other. It was no wonder that they were filled with respect.


    At the same time, there was another reason why Ye Zhongming chose this place. His bloodline had 20-30% more closeness to sand. Since there was a beach, he should use it.


    As for those two sand soldiers, it was from the sand soldier music box that he had upgraded to green grade. At this level, the equipment could summon two sand soldiers at once.


    “This is why he only brought two people?” Deacon Ouyang asked Deacon Tong and Deacon Water in disbelief. This wasn’t a question; he just used it to express his disbelief.


    But Deacon Tong’s reply shocked Deacon Ouyang.


    “No, he found these puppets in the puppet ruins.”


    The three deacons were silent and filled with shock.


    Was this the strength of a top smith? He could turn his things into such god-like tools?


    If that was the case, then wouldn’t he be ranked higher?


    The battle began while they were all in shock.
