Zhan Cheng’s team silently eliminated the Spirit Heart Race’s outer guards, then attacked the Treasure Vault to draw Milton out of his defended chamber. As Milton emerged and countered a barrage of attacks, Chieftain Jin Jun pinpointed his position for the concealed ambush.

• Zhan Cheng’s team used the Flying Magic Treasure to kill more than ten Spirit Heart Race experts outside the old nest without being detected.

Zhan Cheng launched the fourth step of his plan, sending the Great Flame Pirate Group toward the Spirit Heart Race army to assassinate its powerhouses and further undermine the race. As the teams approached the army’s assembly point, Zhan Cheng learned that Yi Chen and Bai Ruoxin were nearby and prepared to act.

He arranged the ambush with Bai Ruoxin and Golden Leopard Leader, then began discussing Contribution Points with Jin Jun as the operation started.
