No sooner had the words left his mouth than the dull sound of a blade slicing through the blue scales of armor was heard, a sound like that of a butcher in a market easily chopping up hard bone with a sharpened cleaver.
At that moment, everyone's gazes shifted to that spot, and they saw that the Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf was dead beyond any doubt.
shock!
"This... that's it? One strike and it's over?"
Bu Yingjun rubbed his eyes in disbelief. What a joke! A kid who had just advanced to the Third Rank could actually kill the Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf, which was known for its strong defense, with a single strike!
"Look at the knife in his hand!" Shen Xu shouted, and both Bu Gaoxing Yi Tang looked at the knife in Jiang Fan's hand at the same time.
"Holy crap! It's a C-grade alloy!"
Of their entire Sharp Edge Squad, only Wei Cangyue possessed a weapon made of C-grade alloy, and this was a reward he received due to his past achievements.
Looking at their equipment, two were E-grade alloy and one was D-grade alloy.
It's true what they say, comparisons are the thief of joy!
This kid is indeed a direct descendant of a great family.
etc!
They suddenly realized another very important problem.
After considering this question, the three of them looked at each other almost simultaneously, and all saw shock in each other's eyes.
Holy crap! This kid's only at the Early-Stage Third Rank, okay?! And he can already use C-grade alloy!
Could they have accomplished that at the Early-Stage Third Rank?
The answer is absolutely no!
Let alone the Early-Stage Third Rank, even with their current level, it would be difficult for them to use D-grade alloys at will.
Jiang Fan was unaware of his teammates' shock; at that moment, a system notification was ringing in his mind.
[Ding! Congratulations, Master! You have successfully killed a Four Star monster. You have done a good deed. Your points have been increased by 200.]
Hearing about such a large score, a grin spread across his face behind his mask, and he felt a surge of satisfaction!
Killing powerful opponents is still the fastest way to gain points, it's just a pity he can't reveal his strength, otherwise the efficiency would be even higher.
Just as Jiang Fan was feeling this way, four or five Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf suddenly appeared within the range of his Psychic Power.
" Instructor Wei, four Four Star Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf are approaching from one kilometer to the left front."
This sound snapped everyone back to reality, and they all looked ahead warily.
"They were probably attracted by the smell of their own kind's blood," Wei Cangyue said.
"Shall we start?" Jiang Fan couldn't hide his excitement.
Bu Yingjun shrieked, "Are you out of your mind? Those were four Four Star demonic beasts! And they were Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf! You think just because the captain killed one in one move, he can kill all four? This isn't a simple 1+1=3 situation, it's more like 5 or 6! Especially since they were four Four Star demonic beasts!"
Although Shen Xu Yi Tang didn't say anything, the expressions on their faces said it all.
A green recruit is a green recruit; they're prone to impulsiveness and acting rashly.
To their surprise, Wei Cangyue actually asked Jiang Fan a question.
"You want to fight?"
"Can you handle it?" Jiang Fan asked instead of answering.
Wei Cangyue did not answer directly. Instead, he placed the knife on his shoulder upright on the ground, facing forward, with a smirk on his face.
"Then let's fight."
What???
Bu Yingjun, Yi Tang, and Shen Xu could no longer believe their ears.
" Captain Wei!"
They were about to say something more when Wei Cangyue raised his hand to stop them.
"I know what you're going to say, but I'll say it again: trust my judgment. I won't lead you into anything I'm not sure about."
In the past, Wei Cangyue would never have led his team to face four Four Star monsters at the same time.
It's not that he can't solve the problem, but rather that he has difficulty protecting the safety of his teammates while fighting, and a moment's inattention could lead to casualties.
But now that we have Jiang Fan, a Spirit Master, even if he's just Junior Psychic, it's more than enough to cover our teammates.
As their thoughts raced, four Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf appeared in their field of vision.
Upon seeing their dead kin, they were provoked, and their greedy eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
"You take care of one, I'll handle the rest. Tang Fan will provide cover for the whole team."
After saying this, Wei Cangyue charged out without hesitation, rushing into the ranks of the Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf, wielding his broadsword and fighting with unbridled abandon.
Heaven knows how long it had been since he had fought against monsters so recklessly. In the past, he always considered his teammates and rarely killed with such abandon.
Gradually, a look of madness appeared on Wei Cangyue's face.
Seeing their captain's murderous intent, the teammates were all deeply shocked.
Especially Bu Yingjun, Shen Xu Yi Tang, who were among the earliest teammates of the Sharp Edge Squad, were very familiar with the carefree expression on Wei Cangyue's face at this moment.
That was when the former captain, Wang Feng, was still alive. As a member of the team, Wei Cangyue did not need to take on the responsibility of commanding and taking care of the whole team; he only cared about killing to his heart's content.
They still remembered what Captain Wang Feng had once said: that Wei Cangyue was a bloodthirsty lone wolf, and that there was no need to ask him to cooperate with the team's actions; just let him kill to his heart's content.
However, after Wang Feng Wei Cangyue took over the Sharp Edge Squad, they never saw Wei Cangyue indulging in wanton killing again.
What caused Wei Cangyue to undergo such a transformation?
As soon as the idea came to mind, one person popped into the minds of all three of them simultaneously.
Tang Fan!!!
Although they didn't understand why, Tang Fan's archery skills were indeed quite good, but he was only at the Early-Stage Third Rank!
Besides, this is Tang Fan's first time in the Outer Wilderness Zone! Can the Captain Wei guarantee he won't be nervous and won't make any mistakes?
Before they could think further, a Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf that was fighting Wei Cangyue suddenly unleashed a bolt of lightning.
Wei Cangyue dodged without hesitation, and it was during this opening that the Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf darted out from beside him and ran towards Bu Yingjun and the others.
"Holy crap! There's no dodging it!"
Bu Yingjun stared wide-eyed in horror; he was already prepared to get hurt.
Just at this critical moment, a sound of something cutting through the air suddenly rang in my ears.
The instant he heard the sound, two arrows gleaming with a cold light flashed past his eyes, heading straight for the eyes of the Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf.
The Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf reacted quickly, turning its body sharply and using its scales to block the attack.
but--
"Hiss hiss hiss--"
The two arrows ignored the incredibly strong scales of the armor and pierced through it directly.
"Awoo~"
The Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf let out a blood-curdling howl.
This scene left Bu Yingjun and his two companions completely dumbfounded.
The situation left them no time to remain in shock. The Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf, having been hit by two arrows, was provoked and charged madly toward Jiang Fan.
"Stop him!" Bu Yingjun shouted.
The three were very fast and reacted extremely quickly.
However, they overlooked the seamless teamwork between the Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf.
As the wounded Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf pounced on Jiang Fan, another Azure-Scaled Thunder-Patterned Wolf that had been fighting Bu Yingjun and his companions rushed forward, blocking their path and buying time for its ally to kill Jiang Fan.
