Upon hearing this, the others seemed to realize what was happening and looked at Shen Heng.
Shen Heng looked at everyone and said:
"This amount of Origin Crystal can at most increase cultivation level slightly, but that slight increase won't be of much use in the subsequent operations."
"Therefore, I suggest you use Origin Crystal to exchange for points, and then go to Martial World Easy Exchange to exchange for items that can instantly increase your combat power."
Everyone nodded slightly.
"Captain, do you have any suggestions?" Zheng Guomin asked Shen Heng.
"Weapons, armor, or any kind of props will do. If there are any combat skills that can be learned in a short period of time, then we can give them a try!" Shen Heng said.
Everyone nodded and began to ponder.
After a long while, once everyone had left, Shen Heng turned and looked at Han Ling.
Is there anything you'd like to redeem?
Han Ling pondered for a moment, then looked up at Shen Heng, "Do you have any suggestions?"
" The Fluid Battle Armor, you know. There aren't many ways to improve your combat power, and the Fluid Battle Armor is exactly the most suitable one, both in terms of defense and mobility," Shen Heng said calmly.
Han Ling nodded slightly; this was the same as what she had thought, but...
"If we manufacture it, is there enough time?"
"Don't worry, the operation won't be that quick. We'll have to wait for the other teams to return before we start," Shen Heng said.
Han Ling nodded slightly. She pondered for a moment, then looked at Shen Heng as if she had thought of something.
What do you plan to exchange for?
"Same, Fluid Battle Armor!" Shen Heng replied.
The Fluid Battle Armor is quite versatile; it can handle most situations except for those that require direct confrontation with Calamity Beast.
As for combat styles that emphasize direct, aggressive attacks, traditional armor with a fixed structure is more suitable.
After all, while Fluid Battle Armor utilizes many new technologies, it ultimately cannot match the absolute structural strength of a one-piece heavy armor.
Several days later, in the mountains and forests.
On the branches of the tall trees, figures stood one after another.
Liang Yanhao stood with his arms crossed on one of the branches, silently gazing at the distant valley.
In the valley, one could occasionally see one huge black shadow after another pacing and lingering.
There were 214 Calamity Beast, including one at the Early Fifth Tier and twenty-six at the Fourth Tier.
After quickly reviewing the intelligence in his mind, Liang Yanhao turned his gaze back and looked at a branch to his side.
There, several other figures also stood.
He glanced around, his gaze settling on the figure in the center.
Shen Heng, whose expertise lies in reconnaissance, is the overall commander of this operation.
He had no objection to the other party being appointed as the commander-in-chief, only a slight surprise.
After all, he originally thought that the most likely candidate to serve as the commander-in-chief should be himself, Wang Hu, or Gu Lingxuan, one of the three.
After all, the three of them had the most gains and the fewest casualties during this period of exploration.
Unexpectedly, it was the other party who took on the role.
However, compared to this...
Liang Yanhao turned his head slightly, looking in another direction.
There, a short figure stood with his arms crossed, grinning as he gazed into the distance.
Wang Hu didn't object, which is a bit unusual for him.
Many others in the exploration team shared the same thoughts as him.
But whether it was an order or because they had also noticed Wang Hu's reaction, they all chose to remain silent.
Without thinking further, he turned his head slightly and looked back at the distant valley.
On the first branch he looked at, Shen Heng was silently sensing the situation inside the valley.
The distribution, rank, and movements of the Calamity Beast were quickly imprinted in his mind.
He slightly raised his eyes, gazing with a hint of surprise in the direction of the valley.
Strange, why isn't the Sharp-Horned Rat heading in this direction anymore, but instead...?
Shen Heng raised his gaze slightly, looking towards another direction in the valley.
The Sharp-Horned Rat were still in the valley, but no longer in their direction; they had run to the completely opposite side.
A normal mobilization of Calamity Beast?... Shen Heng frowned slightly.
He suspected that the Sharp-Horned Rat might have recalled the previous events, but the problem was that the number of Calamity Beast in the valley had not changed; it was still the same.
After pondering for a while without finding an answer, Shen Heng didn't continue thinking about it.
Whether the Sharp-Horned Rat is in this direction or not will not affect this operation.
After all, it doesn't matter which Calamity Beast we fight, as long as the plan can proceed smoothly!
Shen Heng let out a soft breath and said:
" Ringing Sound, valley map!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dimly projected map appeared in the air in front of him.
Shen Heng raised his hand and quickly tapped on the map. After a moment, he said:
Share this map with others!
A slight vibration resounded in the forest at the same moment.
One after another, dim projections appeared before the crowd.
Shen Heng began by explaining the tactical arrangements for this mission.
"There are eight red dots on the map, each representing a Fourth Tier Calamity Beast, and each team is responsible for one."
"Don't worry about making a scene; we'll definitely be discovered by the other Calamity Beast during this process."
"What we need to do is eliminate the target Calamity Beast as quickly as possible."
"After that, the Taowu Squad, the Flowing Fire Squad, and my squad together attacked that Fifth Tier Calamity Beast."
"The remaining teams will be responsible for clearing out the remaining eighteen Fourth Tier Calamity Beast, as well as the other Calamity Beast."
Does anyone have a question?
As soon as the words were spoken, someone asked in the team chat:
"How many should we eliminate first? What if the other Calamity Beast escape?"
"We must first clarify the purpose of our operation. Our operation is to destroy this Anchor Point, not to kill or exterminate the Calamity Beast!"
Shen Heng explained quickly and clearly:
"With such a small force, completely annihilating the Calamity Beast while they're trying to escape is far too difficult and risky."
Therefore, all actions should focus on disrupting the Anchor Point!
Are there any other questions?
There was a moment of silence in the team channel, then a voice rang out.
"We have no problem taking down Fifth Tier Calamity Beast, but can your team handle it?"
Shen Heng turned his head and looked at the figure carrying a thick-backed sword to his side.
Liang Yanhao?
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a cheerful voice ring out within the group of Daoist priests.
"Don't worry about that, their team is much stronger than you expect!"
This... Wang Hu?... The people on different branches subconsciously looked towards the person who had just spoken.
They hadn't expected Wang Hu to have such a high opinion of the opposing team!
Liang Yanhao's gaze also narrowed slightly. He glanced at Wang Hu, then turned his attention to Shen Heng.
"In that case, I have no further questions!"
Seeing that no one seemed to have any objections, Shen Heng turned his gaze to the distance.
"In that case, let's begin!"
