Coordination

For a moment, everyone in the Phantom Squad waited for the Shadowless Arrow, Lu Qing, to make her move.

Lu Qing pulled her bow into a full moon shape, a silver arrow notched on the string that was significantly longer than a standard arrow.

Generally speaking, martial artists who use thermal weapons see their strength increase rapidly in the early stages; with a little training, they can inflict effective damage on Elementary Beast General Level monsters.

However, the power of firearms ultimately has its limits. Excluding a few restricted types of thermal weapons, such as laser cannons, ordinary firearms become much less effective against Intermediate Beast General Level monsters, and it is even harder to injure Advanced Beast General Level ones.

Therefore, for an ordinary martial artist using thermal weapons, reaching the Elementary War General Level is usually the ceiling.

But Lu Qing was clearly not just an ordinary martial artist using thermal weapons; her physical fitness had long since reached the Intermediate War General Level, and the power of her bow was clearly superior to the power of the firearms she used.

Whoosh!

The moment Lu Qing saw an opening in the target monster, she struck.

A flash of lightning!

A rotating silver bolt of lightning!

The long arrow shot by Lu Qing instantly exceeded the speed of sound, rushing toward the only Intermediate Beast General Level Iron-Armored Wild Bull inside the large warehouse like a meteor chasing the moon.

Seeing Lu Qing make her move, Chu Tian acted as well.

His Spiritual Force, which had already reached the Advanced War General Level, was instantly unleashed, wrapping around the arrow shot by Lu Qing like a fine thread to provide it with a powerful boost of thrust.

Under normal circumstances, it is rare for a Spiritual Master and a martial artist to achieve such precise coordination unless it is the same person practicing both paths.

Yet Chu Tian and Lu Qing managed it, without even a hint of error. Chu Tian's Spiritual Force was applied to Lu Qing's arrow, yet the trajectory of the arrow did not change by even a fraction.

This kind of coordination is extremely rare!

Lu Qing's strength, the tension of the bow, and Chu Tian's Spiritual Force—the combination of the three pushed the speed of this silver arrow to an incredible degree.

Nearly three times the speed of sound! This was a speed that only a War God Level powerhouse could achieve.

At this moment, the members of the Phantom Squad were only a hundred meters away from the large warehouse where the Iron-Armored Wild Bull was located, and the arrow shot by Lu Qing arrived in the blink of an eye!

Puchi!

Like a steel needle piercing through tofu, the long arrow met no resistance, easily piercing into the left eye of the Intermediate Beast General Level Iron-Armored Wild Bull and penetrating its entire skull.

Boom!

The shaft of the arrow exploded violently inside the monster's skull, brain matter splattering everywhere, and the Intermediate Beast General Level Iron-Armored Wild Bull died instantly!

"Charge!"

Chu Tian gave the order!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Chu Tian and the other three moved like four bolts of lightning, charging directly toward the herd of Iron-Armored Wild Bulls inside the large warehouse. Their speed was so fast that in the blink of an eye, they were less than ten meters away from the herd!

By this time, the herd, having been startled by the explosion, finally discovered the members of the Phantom Squad.

"Rumble..."

The frenzied herd began to run instantly, causing cracks to appear in the hard concrete floor of the warehouse, and even the dilapidated buildings nearby began to tremble slightly.

"Kill!"

Chu Tian rushed into the herd, and at the same time, the eight flying knives he carried began to move.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The eight flying knives instantly turned into eight afterimages, frantically slaughtering all the monsters around him.

In that instant, a small vacuum zone even appeared around Chu Tian!

The Advanced Beast General Level Iron-Armored Wild Bull saw Chu Tian frantically slaughtering the monsters under its command and became completely enraged.

"Roar!!"

With a massive roar, the monster leader charged madly toward Chu Tian.

"Well come!"

A flash of sword light shone, and Chu Tian struck with his sword; this was the first time he had used his sword since entering the Wilderness Area.

At the same time.

Zhou Zheng and the others also engaged their respective targets. Even with the protection of the herd, those three Elementary Beast General Level Iron-Armored Wild Bulls were no match for Zhou Zheng and his team.

However, the monsters were not stupid. Upon discovering the four members of Chu Tian's group, the herd also spotted Yang Wu and Lu Qing not far away.

"Awoo!!"

Several monster leaders let out roars, and suddenly, dozens of Iron-Armored Wild Bulls split off from the herd, charging madly toward Yang Wu and Lu Qing.

Dozens of massive Iron-Armored Wild Bulls were like dozens of heavy tanks traveling at high speed, crashing forward frantically!

"Yang Wu, protect Xiao Qing!" Chu Tian was surrounded by flying knives, his sword light flashing.

At this moment, Lu Qing had already put away her bow and arrow, and the weapon in her hand had transformed into a ferocious machine gun.

"Get lost!"

Facing the herd of beasts about to charge right in front of him, Yang Wu felt not a hint of panic in his heart; he exerted force with his right leg, kicking a boulder beneath his feet toward the herd.

Bang!

The boulder smashed fiercely into the joint of the left foreleg of the Advanced Beast Soldier Level Iron-Armored Wild Bull running at the very front.

Crack!

The Iron-Armored Wild Bull's left foreleg snapped instantly, and unable to stop in time, it tumbled directly to the ground, blocking the Iron-Armored Wild Bulls charging from behind for Yang Wu and his companion.

Of course, the number of Iron-Armored Wild Bulls was too great; this single monster carcass could not hold them back at all and could only slightly delay the speed of the monsters behind.

However, this was enough!

In that very instant, Yang Wu exerted force with his toes and charged into the herd, wielding the Pojun Spear.

If the herd's speed had been too fast just a moment ago, Yang Wu would never have dared to charge in, but now that the herd's speed had been delayed, the danger was no longer significant.

"Roar! Roar, roar!"

Seeing Yang Wu charge into their midst, the herd became even more frantic, turning their heads one after another to slam fiercely into Yang Wu.

But the size of the Iron-Armored Wild Bulls was simply too massive, and the herd could not launch an effective attack at all. At any given moment, Yang Wu only had to face the siege of three or four Beast Soldier Level Iron-Armored Wild Bulls.

Yang Wu moved with ease within the herd, quickly attracting more Iron-Armored Wild Bulls to charge toward him, while at the same time, a large number of Iron-Armored Wild Bulls also charged toward Lu Qing, who was clutching a machine gun.

"Not good!"

Yang Wu secretly cursed, exerting force beneath his feet to instantly leap into the air from the herd, intending to go and rescue Lu Qing.

Although Lu Qing's physical fitness was slightly higher than Yang Wu's, she currently lacked a suitable weapon; relying on a machine gun, and unable to fire it, she likely wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

Just then, the voice of Chu Tian finally rang out from the warehouse not far away.

"Xiao Qing, open fire!"

A smile finally appeared on the serious face of Lu Qing, who was clutching the menacing machine gun.

"Da-da—da-da-da—"

Streams of golden light erupted from the muzzle; every bullet was a specially customized armor-piercing round with astonishing lethality.

Accompanied by the pained cries of the monsters, dozens of beasts that had just been besieging Yang Wu tumbled to the ground one after another. At the same time, the massive sound of gunfire caused the Iron-Armored Wild Bulls in the warehouse to go completely berserk, charging madly toward the position of Yang Wu and his companion.

However, at the very front of the herd were Chu Tian and the other three, who had already finished harvesting the monster materials.

"Retreat!"

At Chu Tian's command, Yang Wu and Lu Qing turned and sprinted away simultaneously.

At this moment, the fastest among the Iron-Armored Wild Bull herd were merely Advanced Beast Soldier Level monsters; how could they possibly catch up to the Phantom Squad, whose members were all at the War General Level? Furthermore, they had Chu Tian, a Spiritual Master, bringing up the rear!

Before long, the six members of the Phantom Squad had completely shaken off the herd.
