Just as Chu Tian was engaging the Lord Level Fire-Scaled Three-Pronged Pig, the other Beast General Level monsters were about to arrive.

Among them, the fastest was an Advanced Beast General Level Bloodthirsty Tank, followed by five Intermediate Beast Generals and thirteen Elementary Beast Generals.

"Brothers, let's give it our all!"

Zhou Zheng let out a roar and charged head-on toward the lead Advanced Beast General Level Bloodthirsty Tank.

In truth, if Zhou Zheng had chosen to flee, given his Advanced War General Level physical fitness and the fact that the Lord Level monster was being held back by Chu Tian, he would have had the best chance of escaping.

Yet, he did not choose to run; instead, he charged toward the incoming herd without a shred of hesitation.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Yang Wu also unleashed all his strength, holding his Pojun Spear as he sprinted rapidly to follow behind Zhou Zheng.

Facing the siege of nearly twenty Beast General Level monsters, the members of the Phantom Squad could only form effective coordination and rely on each other by staying together.

The speed of Yang Wu and the others was astonishing; they were only a hundred meters away from the fastest monster in the herd, the Advanced Beast General Level Bloodthirsty Tank, and reached it in the blink of an eye.

Vice-captain Zhou Zheng charged at the very front, followed closely by Intermediate War Generals Zheng Tao and Wang Zhi, with Yang Wu bringing up the rear, while Lu Qing had already sprinted to a nearby vantage point.

BOOM!!

The Qimei Staff in Zhou Zheng's hands slammed fiercely into the side of the Bloodthirsty Tank's head. At the same time, the attacks from Zheng Tao and Wang Zhi arrived, with a heavy hammer and a battle saber instantly striking the creature's vital points.

Of course, Yang Wu was not idle either; arriving last, he drove his Pojun Spear deep into the left eye of the Bloodthirsty Tank.

Facing the siege of four War General Level martial artists, the Bloodthirsty Tank at the front did not even last a single second.

The only Advanced Beast General had been killed, yet the situation for Yang Wu and the others remained far from optimistic.

This was because there were simply too many Beast General Level monsters!

Usually, when Yang Wu and his team faced a siege of Beast Soldier Level monsters, they were not afraid, no matter the quantity.

The space was limited, so each person only had to face four or five monsters at most; even if they slipped up and were hit head-on by a Beast Soldier, their War General Level physical fitness meant they would not suffer significant injuries.

However, Beast General Level monsters were different from Beast Soldier Level monsters; they were faster and possessed greater strength!

Once Yang Wu and the others were struck by them, it was inevitable that they would suffer serious injuries.

On the other side, the few Intermediate Beast General Level monsters approaching from not far away saw the Bloodthirsty Tank die instantly. Possessing awakened intelligence, they naturally would not charge in alone like the Bloodthirsty Tank had; instead, they slowed their pace, waiting for the Elementary Beast General Level monsters behind them to catch up.

Once a large number of Elementary Beast General Level monsters arrived, they all roared and charged toward Yang Wu and the others, resembling high-speed locomotive engines that were truly terrifying.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Having reached the vantage point, Lu Qing began using his bow and arrows to assist Yang Wu and the others.

However, facing Beast General Level monsters moving at high speeds, even with Lu Qing's Intermediate War General Level physical fitness, it was difficult to hit the monsters' vital points with his arrows.

"Get lost!"

Zhou Zheng swept his Qimei Staff in all directions, smashing two approaching Elementary Beast General Level monsters to the side.

"Die!"

A cold glint flashed in Wang Zhi's hand as his battle saber sliced open the throat of an Elementary Beast General Level One-Horned Wild Boar.

Hoo! Hoo!

Yang Wu was currently swinging his Pojun Spear with all his might, killing an Elementary Beast General Level Iron-Haired Wild Boar while simultaneously repelling three other Beast General Level monsters.

However, the monsters were clever!

After paying the price of several companions' lives, they had observed that Yang Wu was the weakest among this group of detestable humans.

Therefore, they chose to pick the softest target.

Just as Yang Wu's old strength was spent and his new strength had yet to arise, four enraged monsters roared and besieged him simultaneously.

Yang Wu used a long spear and did not carry a shield; the only protection on his entire body was his combat suit.

"Oh no!" Yang Wu's expression changed as he realized he had no time to react, thinking to himself that things were looking bad.

"Watch out!"

Zhou Zheng and the others shouted loudly.

At the same time, Zheng Tao flung the black hammer from his left hand, knocking the trajectory of a monster charging at Yang Wu off course; Wang Zhi, who held a battle saber and shield, was closest to Yang Wu and instantly shifted a few steps to the side, using his shield to block a monster for him; Lu Qing, responsible for fire support, shot a sharp arrow into the path of another monster, forcing it to change direction.

Yang Wu's teammates had blocked three monsters for him in an instant, yet there was still one monster charging at Yang Wu. And it was an Intermediate Beast General at that!

If Yang Wu were hit by this Intermediate Beast General, the result would likely be death or severe disability.

Dodge!

I must dodge!

At this moment, this was the only thought in Yang Wu's mind.

Facing the Intermediate Beast General about to slam into him, Yang Wu felt strangely calm.

Suddenly, Yang Wu exerted a light force with his left foot, and his entire body shifted twenty centimeters to the right, dodging the charge of the Intermediate Beast General Level Iron-Haired Wild Boar by a hair's breadth.

"ROAR!"

Amidst the angry roar, the Iron-Haired Wild Boar violently whipped its long tail.

Whoosh!

The meter-long pig tail instantly transformed into a black afterimage, sweeping toward Yang Wu. The speed of the tail far exceeded the speed of the monster itself.

However, there wasn't a trace of panic on Yang Wu's face!

He suddenly jabbed the tip of his Pojun Spear into the ground, using it to provide a thrust from another direction, which allowed his body to perform an uncanny change of direction in mid-air, causing the Iron-Haired Wild Boar's attack to once again return empty-handed.

"Micro-Level footwork!"

Seeing Yang Wu dodge the monster's attack with such subtle movements, his teammates all shouted in astonishment.

It wasn't that they were inexperienced; it was simply that Micro-Level footwork was extremely rare, even harder to attain than Specialist Level weapon techniques!

Micro-Level footwork meant being able to use the smallest possible range of motion during combat to dodge attacks, achieving the maximum effect in evasion.

Most War General Level martial artists had not grasped this technique.

Even within the elite Phantom Squad, prior to this, only the captain Chu Tian and the vice-captain Zhou Zheng had mastered Micro-Level footwork; as for the others, they were merely infinitely close to the Micro-Level.

They hadn't expected Yang Wu to actually break through in the middle of a battle.

He truly lives up to being a genius recruited in advance by the Extreme Martial Arts Hall! everyone thought one after another.

With Yang Wu's crisis now resolved, the group naturally continued to deal with the surrounding pack of Beast General Level monsters.

But in just this short span of time, under the full-force outburst of Zhou Zheng, four or five Beast General Level monsters had already fallen by his hand.

Adding the one killed by each of the three others including Yang Wu, there were now only a dozen or so Beast General Level monsters left on the field, most of which were Elementary Beast General Level.

Such a herd, without the assistance of ordinary Beast Soldier Level monsters, was naturally no longer a match for Yang Wu and the others!
