Xiao Yang thought it over, but there was no other good solution.

The best thing to do now was stall!

He still had some Watermelon and Blueberry in his Game Space.

Level 1 Watermelon could do more than restore stamina; it could also restore Psychic Power!

As for Blueberry, although Xiao Yang could not continue increasing his Psychic Power after eating it due to the limits of his physical body—

It could still restore Psychic Power without any problem.

Xiao Yang settled in for a war of attrition with them.

He had always made a habit of stockpiling things in his Game World's warehouse.

This was to avoid having nothing when he needed it.

Watermelon, for example, could restore stamina at critical moments and save lives.

Many Martial Warriors died after being surrounded by monsters and eventually running out of strength.

Especially during Beast Tides.

Some Gods of War and even Advanced Warlords were not afraid of Beast Tides themselves.

What they feared was running out of stamina.

No matter how strong they were, they could still become exhausted.

At that point, even ordinary Beast Soldiers might be able to slowly kill them.

What Xiao Yang kept the most of were Blueberry and Watermelon.

After all, one replenished Psychic Power, while the other restored a large amount of stamina.

Although Watermelon could also replenish Psychic Power, it restored less than Blueberry.

And Watermelon was more troublesome to eat.

Xiao Yang had stored plenty of Blueberry in his warehouse.

After all, things would not spoil inside the game warehouse.

Even if the daily shop refresh produced something good at a critical moment—

Xiao Yang could simply sell the things in his warehouse temporarily.

Anything sold in the game could be sold instantly.

Items stored in the warehouse could immediately be exchanged for money.

But money could not immediately be exchanged for crops he needed.

That was why Xiao Yang had developed the habit of keeping some crops in his warehouse.

His throwing knives continuously attacked the White Elephant Martial Warrior Team.

Although they had eight people and could defend well against Xiao Yang's attacks—

Only four of them were Advanced Warlords.

The remaining four Intermediate Warlords found it difficult to completely block Xiao Yang's attacks.

Xiao Yang had been using those four as his point of breakthrough.

Throwing knives were unlike ordinary weapons or bullets, whose trajectories were relatively fixed and easy to predict.

The trajectories of throwing knives were extremely bizarre.

Xiao Yang could make them change direction at will according to his thoughts at any time.

Although inertia still existed, their paths were far stranger than those of bullets.

After only a short while, two Intermediate Warlords in the White Elephant Martial Warrior Team were injured.

The members of the White Elephant Martial Warrior Team also noticed Xiao Yang's intentions.

But they had no good solution.

The four Advanced Warlords could only protect their teammates as best they could.

Each of the four guarded one direction.

However, while that improved things somewhat, Xiao Yang's throwing knives still broke through from time to time.

Xiao Yang was not using just three throwing knives.

He had bought ten throwing knives in total.

Sometimes, he would throw them at the Martial Warrior Team.

Then he would use Psychic Power to temporarily alter their direction.

After the throwing knives landed, he would sometimes use Psychic Power to control other knives on the ground and attack.

Sometimes, Xiao Yang even used Psychic Power to manipulate the weapons in the hands of the White Elephant Martial Warrior Team's Warlords.

He did not need to control them completely; a little interference was enough.

At times, even the slightest interference allowed his throwing knives to break through their defenses and strike one of the Warlords.

As time passed, Xiao Yang figured out quite a few methods.

Apprentice Level Martial Warriors could not project Genetic Origin Energy and had no way to resist such tactics.

After discovering this, Xiao Yang would pull this trick from time to time.

Very soon, three of the team's four Intermediate Warlords were dead.

The remaining one was also seriously injured.

Even if Xiao Yang ignored him, he would soon die.

Under such circumstances, the others had no way to treat his wounds for the time being.

"Dammit!"

"Do you dare come down and fight us one-on-one?!"

The captain of the White Elephant Martial Warrior Team looked at Xiao Yang, gritting his teeth in fury.

Xiao Yang ate Blueberry as he smiled and replied.

"I don't!"

His utterly shameless expression made the White Elephant team below even angrier.

Xiao Yang seized the opportunity and repeated his old trick.

He directly controlled one person's saber, making it pause for an instant.

"Not good!"

The next moment, one of Xiao Yang's throwing knives shot straight past that person's defense and toward the heavily injured Intermediate Warlord.

Pfft!

This time, the throwing knife came in at an excellent angle and instantly pierced through the Intermediate Warlord's heart.

"Nikir! You bastard!"

"Come down and fight us one-on-one if you've got the guts! What kind of skill is flying in the air?"

The Advanced Warlord who had been interfered with stared at Xiao Yang, his eyes filled with fury.

Xiao Yang acted as though he had not seen him and continued eating Blueberry leisurely.

The four remaining Advanced Warlords were beginning to panic as well.

If this continued, they too would eventually be caught off guard by Xiao Yang.

Because the four had stronger defenses, greater strength, and faster reactions, Xiao Yang had attacked the four Intermediate Warlords first.

But the four knew that although their defenses were somewhat stronger than those of their dead teammates—

If Xiao Yang pulled this on them a few more times, they would not be able to withstand it either!

At this moment, traces of fear flickered in all four of their eyes.

There was also a hint of regret.

The captain of the White Elephant Martial Warrior Team noticed this as well.

"Hold on. This guy is definitely bluffing."

"He's been fighting at such high intensity for so long. He must have used up quite a lot of Psychic Power."

"His Psychic Power consumption is definitely greater than our stamina consumption."

"As long as we hold on, we can wear him down!"

Perhaps the captain's words gave the other three a little hope.

They began defending themselves seriously as well.

At the same time, they remained vigilant against Xiao Yang's interference.

Another dozen or so minutes passed.

Quite a few more wounds appeared on their bodies.

But because they were all quite strong and reacted quickly, they could still hold on.

What troubled them now was that after fighting for so long while constantly concentrating to avoid sneak attacks, even as Advanced Warlords, their stamina was nearly depleted!

Although the stamina of Advanced Warlords was beyond comparison with that of ordinary people—

Likewise, defending against Xiao Yang's throwing knives required them to expend even more stamina and strength.

"Huff! Huff! What kind of monster is he? Does he have unlimited stamina?"

"W-why is this happening? This isn't scientific!"

Just then, Xiao Yang suddenly seized an opportunity.

The captain's sword was suddenly interfered with for an instant.

"Not good!"

Before the other party could react, the throwing knife that had been attacking another team member shot directly into the captain's eye socket, then pierced out through the back of his head.

Not only that, it also shot into the back of another team member's head!
