Xiong Yingluo glanced at Xiao Xiangtong.
Seeing that the other party didn't seem to have any desire to communicate, she thought for a moment and looked at Shen Heng.
"Why did you call us here?"
"You're heading this way because you've probably realized what the shrinking minefield means," Shen Heng said, looking at Xiong Yingluo.
"That's why I called you all here. I hope that by cooperating with you, we can make it easier to survive when we face the Calamity Beast together."
Upon hearing this Xiong Yingluo lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then looked at the two people beside her.
What are your opinions?
"I'm fine!" Yu Ruofei raised his hand.
"I have no objection either." Lu Jun nodded in agreement.
"In that case, I'll trouble you." Xiong Yingluo looked at Shen Heng.
Seeing that the others agreed, Shen Heng smiled and said, "It's just a collaboration, there's no need to trouble them."
Xiong Yingluo nodded. "By the way, I have to thank you for what happened last time. Otherwise, we might have been the last ones to drop out of the simulation."
"It's alright, don't worry about it." Shen Heng gently shook his head.
Seeing that Shen Heng seemed genuinely unconcerned about the matter, Xiong Yingluo slowly withdrew her gaze.
The group found a place to sit inside the room.
Yu Ruofei glanced at it idly, then seemed to remember something and looked at Shen Heng, saying:
" Shen Heng, did you really kill the Dragon Armor Beast?"
"Yes, this building is where the Dragon Armor Beast used to live." Shen Heng nodded.
"Oh, I see!" Yu Ruofei's eyes widened in surprise. She immediately turned to Xiong Yingluo, "Sister Yingluo, it really is true, the middle of the lightning circle might be very dangerous."
"Hmm." Xiong Yingluo nodded, "But I didn't expect the one in the middle to be Dragon Armor Beast."
Yu Ruofei nodded, then turned to look at Shen Heng and asked.
"By the way, is that Dragon Armor Beast powerful?"
Shen Heng pondered for a moment, "Very strong. Among the people in our training camp, even those who are also at the Late Third Tier, there shouldn't be many who could kill the Dragon Armor Beast alone."
"Huh? That strong? How did you kill him?" Yu Ruofei looked at Shen Heng in surprise.
The group chatted idly inside for a while, then waited quietly.
During this time, Shen Heng took the meat of the Dragon Armor Beast to a dark place, roasted it, and distributed it to everyone.
They then continued to wait, and no one else came over during this time.
Time passed little by little.
"Boom--"
Shen Heng turned his head slightly, his gaze following the direction of the window to look outside.
The minefield has shrunk to about 5 kilometers, and...
Shen Heng lowered his eyes, his gaze unfocused as he stared at the corner of the wall.
In that direction, the first Calamity Beast has already stepped into an area one kilometer in.
Soon, a second one, a third one...
The sound of footsteps echoed through the street.
Four figures were running quickly down the street.
Zhou Yang turned to look behind him, and seeing that no Calamity Beast were chasing after him, he turned to look at the leader.
" Xue Han, it seems the Calamity Beast haven't caught up."
Xue Han glanced behind him, then slowly stopped walking.
"What do we do next?" Zhou Yang asked.
"Retreating is impossible. The number of Calamity Beast Calamity Beast coming from behind will only increase. If we can't kill them quickly, we'll only attract more Calamity Beast, and we'll be the ones who die," Xue Han said.
"What should we do then?"
Xue Han pondered for a moment, then looked ahead.
"Let's move forward."
"But what if it's dangerous up ahead too?"
"Don't worry, at this point in time, there's at most one Calamity Beast ahead," Xue Han said. "If there's only one, we should be able to take down even Dragon Armor Beast."
"We struggle even against Late Third Tier Calamity Beast, can we really fight Dragon Armor Beast?" Wang Rui couldn't help but ask.
"I originally thought we couldn't beat them, but if Xiao Xiangtong and Shen Heng could kill the Dragon Armor Beast, we probably won't be much worse off. That's probably why the Dragon Armor Beast is marked as near S-rank instead of S-Class," Xue Han said.
Upon hearing this, the group was taken aback, unsure whether it was true or false.
They really didn't have an accurate idea of just how strong the Dragon Armor Beast was.
I only knew that the Dragon Armor Beast was strong because it was labeled as Near-S-Class.
They had a general understanding of the differences between different levels of ability, which was why they previously thought they couldn't possibly defeat the Dragon Armor Beast.
But now...
"Don't worry, even if we can't beat them, we'll just die. But is staying here to wait for death also a death wish?" Xue Han smiled at the group.
Seemingly convinced by the statement that continuing to wait here would be suicidal, the group nodded.
They made their way to the center of the minefield.
Xue Han turned his head and looked at the buildings next to him. Just as he was thinking about which building to hide in, his arm was touched.
"What's wrong?" Xue Han frowned as he looked at the person.
The man didn't speak, he just pointed in a direction.
Just as he was about to turn his head to look, a heavy 'clang' sound came from behind him, the sound of an iron frame being slammed onto the ground.
Xue Han immediately turned his head to look in that direction.
Then, Calamity Beast, six or seven meters long and two or three meters tall, with a dragon's head and a lizard's body, slowly emerged.
Twelve serrated bone plates swayed slowly on its back, and its thick tail swished behind it with each step.
It walked step by step to the bottom of the building's entrance, and then stopped.
His scarlet vertical pupils stared indifferently at the group.
Xue Han's heart tightened. He took a deep breath and encouraged himself:
"Don't be nervous. If Xiao Xiangtong and Shen Heng can kill the Dragon Armor Beast, so can we."
The three people behind him took a deep breath and nodded.
Xue Han watched the Dragon Armor Beast's figure and began to arrange the tactics.
" Wang Rui, Lin Qi, you two feint attacks from the left and right to force it to unfold its bony plates, while Zhou Yang and I will focus our attack..."
After the tactical arrangements were completed, the group nodded in agreement.
Everyone took a deep breath and then charged towards the Dragon Armor Beast.
A moment later, the street returned to quiet.
"Vomit..."
Xue Han vomited a mouthful of blood.
He leaned against the dilapidated wall, his gaze fixed on the figure slowly walking towards him.
The scene from just now flashed through my mind.
The two sides had only been fighting for a short while when one of the team members was whipped away by the Dragon Armor Beast's tail and was unable to fight anymore.
Soon after, the remaining two were also quickly killed by the Dragon Armor Beast.
All my efforts to dodge were in vain, and all I got in return was a little more time to catch my breath.
But this...
"How is that possible...?"
Xue Han's trembling fingers dug into the cracks in the brickwork, the metallic taste rising in his throat making each word hoarse and broken.
" Shen Heng and the others... there are only two of them..."
A shadow loomed over him.
The Dragon Armor Beast came to his front.
Xue Han raised his head with some difficulty, his gaze fixed on the ferocious beast before him.
He had no complaints. Even if they were to fight again, given the opponent's overwhelming strength, speed, and defense, he couldn't find a single opportunity for them to defeat him.
only...
Xue Han coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his pupils began to dilate.
"Even such Calamity Beast was killed by Shen Heng and Xiao Xiangtong working together...?"
