Xiao Yu and Han Kexin sneaked back to the camp and discovered that there were a large number of monsters wandering around the place. It was evident that the camp had been taken over. They didnt linger and followed the traces left by the crowd when they broke through, finally finding everyone about ten miles away. With only a little over four hundred people left out of the original one thousand and three hundred in the camp, it was clear that the battle had been fierce.
Wang Chao laid on the ground, covered in injuries and unable to move his limbs. Even moving his little finger felt excruciatingly difficult. In the escape last night, he had activated his rage body ability with Rampage and charged at the front of the team, creating a bloody path. As a result, he sustained the most severe injuries. Although Jin Shis Rock Defense was extrely resilient and he had barely been injured during the battle, he was now completely exhausted and had no strength left.
Jiang Xiaowen and Zhao Changping had also suffered trendous spiritual exhaustion and were currently sitting on the ground, using soul gems to recover. Most of the other team mbers were injured, sitting, lying down, or leaning against trees, all feeling weak and occasionally groaning in pain.
Yun Yun was skilled in long-range attacks and had been at the rear of the team during the breakout, so her injuries were relatively minor. She was the first to notice movent in the woods and imdiately grasped her longbow, ready to pull the string and shoot an arrow in that direction.
Xiao Yus voice ca through, saying to her, Yun Yun, its us. Dont shoot.
Yun Yun recognized Xiao Yus voice, and a hint of joy appeared on her face. Xiao Yu, Teacher Han!
Jiang Xiaowen quickly stood up, looked in that direction, and recognized Xiao Yu and Han Kexin walking side by side. She let out a long sigh of relief and went to et them, calling out, Are you both okay? Thats great! Thats great! Suddenly, she looked at Han Kexin with a puzzled expression, sizing her up and down.
Han Kexin felt a little guilty and forced out a smile. Hehe, Xiaowen, whats wrong?
Jiang Xiaowen frowned and said, Why do I feel like you look a little different than usual, Teacher Han?
Han Kexins heart raced, and she glanced at Xiao Yu, who didnt show any reaction. She then stamred, Differentin what way?
Im not sure, Jiang Xiaowen said, shaking her head. Han Kexin imdiately changed the subject, Are you all okay? Is this all thats left? How could the casualties be this high?
Jin Shi, Sun Dazhu, Huang Jianmin, and Du Tao were all still alive. All the original inhabitants of the underground cave cheered together as Xiao Yu and Han Kexin returned safely and unhard. This was a huge encouragent for them. Xiao Yu approached Zhao Changping and asked, Are you okay?
Just a minor injury, but this ti we dragged you down with us into this ss, Zhao Changping stood up with a bitter smile. His face was pale, indicating that he had consud a lot of his spiritual power. His armor was shattered in many places, and there was a deep wound on his chest. His shoulder armor was also broken, and half of his body was stained with blood. He smiled bitterly and said, The camp is destroyed, and most of the people couldnt escape. My elite one hundred-man team sustained heavy casualties.
Jin Shi. How about our losses?
Jin Shi reported on their casualties: The Tiger team has 35 remaining mbers, the Bear team has 42, the Eagle team has 39, and there are only four people left in the command unit. We suffered heavy losses in this battle. Fatty is also seriously injured, and I dont think hell be able to recover in the short term.
Xiao Yu examined Wang Chao, who was covered in blood and lying motionless on the ground, and frowned slightly. Did you go berserk while in that transford state again?
Wang Chao seed to have no strength left to speak. His throat moved, and he hoarsely said, Damn it, do you think I wanted to? The situation was critical I had no choice!
Xiao Yu took out half a bottle of the water of life and poured a small amount into his mouth. Its alright now. The water of life is a sacred item for healing, and it can also help restore spiritual power. Just rest well for a day, and everything will be fine. He handed the bottle to Han Kexin and said, Let every seriously injured person have a sip.
Zhao Changpings eyes lit up when he saw the large bottle of water of life. He had given most of the ones he had obtained to his subordinates and only had one left that he didnt want to use unless it was absolutely necessary. He never expected Xiao Yu to be so generous and imdiately took out half a bottle to share with everyone. The water of life had excellent healing effects, and even a small drop could have a significant healing effect and help restore physical and spiritual power to so extent.
Zhao Changping said, Everyone is hungry, and most of our supplies are still back in the camp and havent been taken out.
Xiao Yu explained the situation in the camp he just saw. I just infiltrated the area near the camp for inspection. After the monsters captured the camp, they dispersed into the surrounding forest and are now scattered and relatively sparse. We, four hundred people, have the ability to kill our way back to the camp!
Jiang Xiaowen was a little surprised. Kill our way back?!
Zhao Changping grinned. Last night we killed monsters in the hundreds, if not thousands. Theres a lot of loot that we havent had ti to collect, and a large number of monsters are still there, including many first-order creatures. It would be such a waste to miss such an opportunity to improve our strength and gear. I also agree with the plan to kill our way back to the camp!
Alright, lets act in the evening when everyone has recovered, Xiao Yu said, nodding his head.
After being treated with the water of life, everyones condition improved significantly, and they were able to recover after just ten hours of rest. Han Kexin even went out of her way to specially heal Wang Chao, allowing him to regain most of his fighting power.
With the camp as their central point, the surrounding area was swarming with monsters. However, this ti, the monsters were scattered more sparsely than during the previous nights intense surge, making it much easier for Xiao Yu and Zhao Changping to eliminate them. The two leaders divided their troops into two groups and set out to eliminate the monsters from different directions.
As they ventured further into the forest, they soon ca across the first group of monstersa herd of bull-like creatures covered in scales and boasting three horns on their heads. These elentary level monsters numbered around forty, and although not particularly large, they possessed astonishing strength, capable of knocking over a locomotive with their sheer force. Fortunately, their at was delicious and could serve as a valuable source of food.
Dont just look; kill them.
Xiao Yu gave an order, and the crowd rushed forward. Han Kexin flicked the whip from a long distance away, and with a bang, the whip directly knocked a scally bull to the ground. Most of the scales on its body were broken, and the injury could not be endured. Swiftly, the blood was absorbed by the whip, and transford into blood-red energy by Han Kexin. Others had already co into contact with the scale armor bulls, and most of these monsters were killed on the spot when they collided.
Jiang Xiaowen controlled a scale armor bull, then stepped back and handed the spear in her hand to the little girl Tian Tian, Tian Tian, this bull is under my control, go and kill it!
Okay, thank you, big sister!
Despite Tian Tians young age, she had been working hard for several days and had already killed so monsters with the help of Tian Hongguang and his wife. She took the splitting air spear and ran over to fiercely stab it into the neck of the motionless scale armor bull, causing blood to gush out. The little Tian Tian was quite afraid of blood and she staggered back several steps.
Before long, the scale armor bull died due to excessive blood loss.
After absorbing that essence, Tian Tian advanced to the next level.
In just a few minutes, dozens of scale armor bulls were completely wiped out. Although their strength was not very high, their at was extrely delicious and tasty. Xiao Yu now had a thirty-square-ter space ring, which naturally needed to be filled with more things to avoid wasting the empty space.
Tian Tian completed her advancent and underwent so changes. This doll-like girl first grew taller; her ears beca pointed, and a strange green magic symbol appeared on her smooth forehead.
What happened, Tian Tian?
Tian Tian was a bit dazed, and after a mont, she patted her little head and said, There are so many changes happening.
She stretched out a small hand and placed it on the ground. Just as everyone was puzzled, wondering what she was doing, a green vine suddenly rushed out of the ground ahead, entwining around a small tree as thick as a bowl. It suddenly tightened and compressed, exerting trendous force on the trunk, which broke into several pieces, causing the entire tree to collapse.
Jiang Xiaowen exclaid happily, Its actually an innate skill. Tian Tian, youre amazing!
Tian Tian giggled foolishly and quickly thanked Jiang Xiaowen, saying, Thank you, big sister. Thank you, big sister.
Xiao Yu and Han Kexin exchanged a surprised look, each showing a hint of astonishnt.
Jiang Xiaowen simply liked this little girl and wanted to help her advance, as having basic strength would provide so self-protection. However, what they never expected was that this act would add another elentary warrior to the team who possessed a special innate skill.
Tian Tians elentary innate skill was called Strangling Vines a skill that could summon several flexible and strong vines to bind and strangle the target.
Tian Tian awakening to her special talent brought the most joy to her parents, Tian Hongguang and his wife, as many mbers of the team had been dissatisfied with their presence. Tian Tian had been slowing them down, and because of her, Tian Hongguang and his wife were always hesitant to fight and never fought with all their might. But now that they had discovered she had a special talent, they could naturally gain more respect and increase their status, and their situation would be greatly different.
In less than two hours, they had killed over four hundred monsters and obtained around twenty pieces of equipnt and items, all of which were divided among everyone.
By the ti Xiao Yu and Zhao Changping t up, it was already dark. Zhao Changping asked right away, Did you guys encounter any first order monsters?
Xiao Yu replied, No, we didnt.
Zhao Changping wore a solemn expression as he spoke, As expected, theyre all concentrated in the center. There are about eight to nine of them, so be careful when attacking.
The two groups made their way back to camp, collecting a lot of loot along the wayabout a dozen items in totalwhich were shared equally between the two sides. The camp ca into view in the distance, but it was completely destroyed. The fence that Zhao Changping had labored over had completely collapsed, and all of the wooden and stone structures inside had been destroyed.
A large number of monsters had gathered there, and human remains were scattered all over the ground. Many of the monsters were still chewing on human limbs and severed arms.
Zhao Changpings fists clenched in anger as he exclaid, These damned monsters!
Xiao Yu had already grasped the luminous beast blade and scanned the camp with his eyes. Even in the dark night, he could still see the appearance of each monster. He paused on several first-order monsters for a few seconds, then focused on an ugly creature with blue scales and six eyes. The other first-order monsters are easy to handle, but this one is particularly tricky. Its a formidable foe in the late stage of the first order level.
What can we do? Lets kill them all, and Ill take care of this one! Xiao Yu declared.
Okay, I trust in your strength. Zhao Changping nodded. The long sword in his hand began to flicker with lightning, which was particularly striking in the dark night. Kill!
With a leap into the air, Xiao Yu lit a ball of green fla in his left hand and hurled it at the six-eyed monster. The monster, in the late stage of the first order, roared and stood up just as the fla landed on its body. In the next instant, the monster disintegrated into thousands of dust particles, which disappeared into the air without leaving a trace. Only three balls of light were left on the ground.
That fierce monster was killed in one attack!
