Tie Du's Squad!

However, the two of them quickly came to their senses.

This was the critical moment!

"Pick up the pace!"

"Dala and Teya won't be able to hold on much longer!"

Tie Du was a qualified commander.

He quickly calmed down.

At a time like this, they absolutely could not go rescue Dala and Teya.

Once everyone split up to fight, they might get worn down to death by the Specters.

A Specter's stamina far exceeded that of a martial artist.

Zhang Qing glanced at the Blade-Tooth Ghoul's health bar.

Blade-Tooth Ghoul: 1470/2950!

Tsk, tsk.

They had already been fast enough.

It was only normal that those two couldn't hold out.

This was a Great Ghoul with nearly 3,000 Blood Volume!

He could only hope they would not get instantly killed by the Specter.

He still had his eye on their blood bags.

-26!

-24!

miss...

-54!

...

The damage output continued.

Zhang Qing grew increasingly adept.

The saber techniques at Great Perfection kept flowing through his mind.

He gradually became the main attacker.

Zhang Qing stared intently at the Blade-Tooth Ghoul's health bar.

Suddenly—

Bang!

"Aah!!"

Teya let out a miserable scream.

Zhang Qing turned to look.

The Vine Ghoul had directly sent him flying with a lash.

And one of its vines had pierced straight through his chest.

-240!

-1!

Critical Hit

Teya: 34/275!

Damn.

That was a massive critical hit. Teya was instantly on the verge of death.

He might still have thirty-five points of Blood Volume left.

But the penetrating wound in his chest was practically fatal.

After that—

Teya would keep bleeding until he died.

Unless a healing martial artist saved him, death was inevitable.

"Teya! Watch out!"

Tie Du cried out anxiously.

The Vine Ghoul actually still wanted to finish off someone at low health.

However—

Someone as severely injured as Teya basically could not evade it.

"I've got it!"

Zhang Qing put his teammate-saving spirit into action and charged over.

The Great Perfection Chuan Shattering Steps nearly left an afterimage where he had been standing.

Bang!

-2!

Zhang Qing blocked the deadly vine lashing toward Teya.

The attack was quite heavy, costing Zhang Qing a bit of stamina.

But because he had not made it in time, he could not block all of it.

The vine still pierced through Teya's forearm.

-21!

-1!

-1!

...

Oh ho.

He wasn't going to make it!

The wound through his chest kept draining Teya's Blood Volume.

Clang!

Zhang Qing slashed out with his saber.

He sent the Vine Ghoul flying.

-49!

Vine Ghoul: 2694/2870!

Then he turned and grabbed Teya.

Holding him, he shouted,

"Do you have any medicine?!"

Then he quickly ran toward Tie Du.

-2!

-2!

-2!

...

Teya: 0/275!

He was dead.

Congratulations on killing Teya. Maximum Blood Volume +275!

Current maximum Blood Volume: 1432/1570!

What a huge profit.

Tie Du shook his head.

He let out a sigh.

Zhang Qing set Teya's corpse aside, then roared,

"Finish this quickly!"

"Otherwise, more people will die!"

While he had been gone—

The Blade-Tooth Ghoul had been whittled down by several hundred more points of Blood Volume.

It had now dropped below one thousand.

Then—

He began to erupt.

The Vine Ghoul was not as fast as him.

Perhaps—

He could burst out in a short time and join the others in taking down the Vine Ghoul.

It was not that Zhang Qing was in a hurry.

The Vine Ghoul showed signs of heading toward Dala.

Dala was already having trouble holding on.

If the Vine Ghoul went over there—

Dala might get instantly killed.

Wouldn't that mean one less blood bag for him?

The next second—

Zhang Qing was speechless.

The Vine Ghoul really did head toward Dala.

And on his side—

Blade-Tooth Ghoul: 231/2950!

Fuck.

There was no way to make this perfect.

But there was nothing he could do about it.

-24!

-25!

-12!

-64!

Blade-Tooth Ghoul: 0/2950!

Congratulations on killing the Blade-Tooth Ghoul. Attribute Point +3!

Zhang Qing seized the opportunity and delivered the final blow, ending the Blade-Tooth Ghoul's sinful life.

He obtained 3 Attribute Points.

Over there—

Pfft...

Dala's corpse was thrown over by the Vine Ghoul.

In the end, Zhang Qing still chose the Attribute Points.

"Dala!" Tie Du's face darkened.

The squad had already lost two people.

But there were still two Specters left.

Could they fight them?

While he was still hesitating—

Zhang Qing had already charged forward.

Run away from the battle against the Specters?

Did they think they could just keep quiet about it and everything would pass?

They were thinking too much.

Once Zhang Qing charged—

Tie Du could only grit his teeth and rush up as well.

After that—

The four of them split up to deal with the two Specters!

Zhang Qing and Tie Du faced the Red-Tail Ghoul.

Tie Ku and Bai Ta faced the Vine Ghoul.

The Vine Ghoul's vine attacks were fast and heavy.

Bai Ta, as the shield, had to go over there.

The Red-Tail Ghoul was faster, but Zhang Qing and Tie Ku, the Ratfolk, could handle it.

A quick look at their Blood Volume—

Red-Tail Ghoul: 2312/2840!

Vine Ghoul: 2670/2870!

They should be able to get the Attribute Points.

Zhang Qing thought to himself.

Then came an eruption amid silence.

The Tie Family brothers gave it their all.

Zhang Qing's side was also exerting themselves.

The Red-Tail Ghoul's Blood Volume was clearly dropping faster than the Vine Ghoul's.

After several minutes of fighting.

The Red-Tail Ghoul had lost a huge chunk of Blood Volume, with only around a quarter remaining.

Meanwhile, the Tie Family brothers' stamina had begun to decline noticeably.

For Ratfolk, stamina was a major weakness.

On top of that, their frequent dodging consumed even more stamina.

So in a prolonged battle of attrition, Ratfolk tended to fall short.

Zhang Qing tried to keep an eye on Tie Du's health.

He found that this guy really was insanely good at dodging.

If Zhang Qing wanted to pick up his health pack today, he would have to do it himself.

But.

It had not been easy to get the situation to this point.

Zhang Qing absolutely could not break character.

Even if he had to keep pretending, he had to see it through.

He could not step out of line just because it was nighttime.

What if some hidden expert was watching?

Zhang Qing did not do that sort of thing. He was cautious by nature.

So.

He could only take up the role of main attacker.

And begin the final sweep against the Red-Tail Ghoul!

-64!

-63!

-67!

-21!

Zhang Qing attacked three times for every one attack from Tie Du.

He was truly out of strength.

So.

Zhang Qing easily claimed the Red-Tail Ghoul!

Red-Tail Ghoul: 0/2840!

Congratulations! You have killed the Red-Tail Ghoul and gained Attribute Point +3!

Tie Du let out a sigh of relief.

Then he turned and charged at the last Vine Ghoul once more.

Zhang Qing rushed over as well.

He looked at the Vine Ghoul's health bar.

Vine Ghoul: 1987/2870!

Those two were really just scratching it.

Bai Ta was built for defense.

Almost all the damage had been dealt by Tie Ku alone.

Ratfolk also had poor stamina.

It was already good enough that they had worn it down this far.

The key was...

This Vine Ghoul was clearly even stronger.

Its Blood Volume was slightly lower than the Blade-Tooth Ghoul's.

But both its attack and defense were formidable.

Overall, it was obviously a little stronger!

However.

Once Zhang Qing and Tie Du joined in.

The arrogant Vine Ghoul began to wilt as well.

It roared in fury again and again.

Yet it was surrounded and killed by the four of them.

-19!

-18!

-5!

-68!

Zhang Qing had not expended much stamina.
