The Leaf tribe guards grew increasingly anxious as they battled on.
The outer energy barrier had begun to ripple faintly, indicating it couldn't hold much longer.
Almost all the elders and defensive forces within the tribe had joined the fight.
Yet, they still lacked effective methods to deal with the Licker swarm.
Their only recourse was to slowly whittle down the numbers of the Lickers.
In the rear, within the Leaf tribe's main hall, three elders observed the battle against the Licker swarm through a mirror. Even in Senzo's eyes, there was a hint of astonishment.
It was all too eerie.
In the past encounters with Lickers, their strength was not as terrifying as it was today.
What happened in the past half-month to cause such a change?
What could have caused this drastic transformation in the Licker group?
"Great Elder, please make a decision. If this continues, the outer barrier may not hold much longer."
