584: Chapter 74: A Bloody Battle 584: Chapter 74: A Bloody Battle For a mont, the previously silent mountain forest beca bustling.
Gunshots, the piercing cries of animals, and the sound of flying sand and rocks turned this place into a battlefield in an instant.
As for other places, the team led by Gu Xiaoxi was well-organized.
Soon, the Giant Rats, unable to approach Gu Xiaoxi and the others and suffering heavy casualties, had no choice but to retreat with their team.
Everyone thought they were leaving, and Jing Haoran was about to leap down from the tree, but Gu Xiaoxi stopped him, “Don’t go down, everyone, you’ll get hurt!”
“They’re escaping, and we’ve only killed about thirty of them,” Willy said anxiously.
On average, this ant they had killed only three Giant Rats each.
Clearly, he was dissatisfied with such ager results.
Gu Xiaoxi, however, looked up and stared into the distance, her tone turning solemn, “They’re not preparing to run away, but…”
Everyone followed her gaze and were shocked.
They saw that the Giant Rats that had just retreated were now climbing up trees from a distance.
Then, by leaping from tree to tree, they rapidly approached the large tree where Gu Xiaoxi and the others were stationed.
“Damn!” Yun Xiao’s hand shook, almost falling off the tree.
The group of rats was truly terrifying, to think that they had such cunning.
In the mont everyone was in shock, the rats that had climbed the tree now leapt directly towards them.
Their speed was definitely not much slower than on the ground.
Gu Xiaoxi was also startled and did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent.
She summoned all four daggers she could control to hover in front of her, ready for the slaughter at any mont.
At the sa ti, she gripped the weapon in her hand, aiming at the Giant Rat charging towards her.
With a loud bang, blood splattered in front of Gu Xiaoxi, and the corpses of three Giant Rats fell before her.
Jing Haoran’s eyes instantly turned blood-red, and that demonic glow imdiately caught the attention of the Giant Rats.
In the blink of an eye, he had controlled the two approaching rats and swiftly killed them.
Yun Xiao reacted quickly as well, flipping over a branch to dodge the Giant Rat’s attack, then quickly releasing Ice Needles to pierce the Giant Rat’s eyes.
Blinded, the Giant Rat fell from the tree, and she took the opportunity to shoot and kill two rats.
Che Junqing’s Thunder Attribute Special Ability was even more straightforward and brutal—a bolt of lightning struck, imdiately paralyzing four or five rats.
He then drew his weapon to reap their lives.
The fire released from Tang Yisheng’s palms, with its intense heat, imdiately raised the temperature in the forest by several degrees, scaring the Giant Rats into retreating.
He took advantage of the Giant Rats’ hesitation to shoot and kill!
It could be said that the cooperation among Gu Xiaoxi’s five-person team was very harmonious.
They ford a circle facing outwards, back to back.
They were able to defend as well as attack, and after ten minutes of combat, none of them was injured.
Looking at Willy and his people.
Although they were all in one tree, their positions were scattered.
Willy stood on the highest branch while the others each stood together.
When the Giant Rats pounced on them,
their gunfire was completely chaotic, and even five people directed all their bullets at the first Giant Rat that charged at them.
And as more Giant Rats ca charging in, everyone else was in a fluster to deal with them.
“Ah!” Suddenly, Gu Xiaoxi heard a scream from behind, and it was unmistakably the voice of one of Willy’s teammates.
Without a doubt, he was injured.
Gu Xiaoxi said to her comrades beside her, “Be careful, I’m going to check on them.”
As the team leader, she was responsible for the safety of all team mbers.
So, no matter what had happened between them in the past, at tis like this, she had to rescue them.
As Gu Xiaoxi spoke to Yun Xiao and the others, another scream ca from Willy’s teammates.
When Gu Xiaoxi leaped over, she saw two people bitten by the Giant Rats.
One person had their fingers bitten off, imdiately covered in blood, and another had their back torn open by claws, with three bloody gashes showing the flesh beneath.
Without any hesitation, Gu Xiaoxi rushed to the side of the two injured n, activated her daggers, and directly killed three Giant Rats that were charging at the injured pair.
At this mont, Willy conjured an axe out of thin air, each chop twisting the air around him.
Gu Xiaoxi recognized at a glance that the item in his hand was extraordinary.
Comparable to the daggers in her own hands.
And one of his subordinates could actually use Magic, comparable to Danny Jay from two years ago, dealing with the Giant Rats’ attacks with ease.
Another person was even able to spit out black liquid from their mouth, and any Giant Rat that touched the black liquid would surely die within three seconds.
Indeed, it was a hidden depth of talent, and only after spending so much ti together did Gu Xiaoxi discover their Special Abilities.
At the sa ti, Willy also greatly envied Gu Xiaoxi’s team mbers.
Such rare Natural Series Special Ability Users, all in Gu Xiaoxi’s team.
Of course, if they knew that there were still two Natural Series Special Ability Users in Gu Xiaoxi’s team who hadn’t co, they might even envy them to death.
More than a hundred Giant Rats, in the end, a dozen or so were frightened and ran away.
When the great battle ended, the ground had already been dyed red with blood, and the forest was filled with the unpleasant sll of blood.
Gu Xiaoxi took her team and all jumped down from the big tree.
The first battle was a victory, although two people were injured.
Gu Xiaoxi provided so simple treatnt for the others; it was nothing serious!
However, the guy who lost a finger might have so trouble.
The missing finger would never grow back.
“Captain, I’ve completed the mission on my end.
Do you need any support?” Gu Xiaoxi reported to Kate, holding the communicator.
“Well done!
Support is needed 400 ters in the direction of 11 o’clock.
Hurry over!” Kate said with relief.
She had been worried earlier seeing two won in Gu Xiaoxi’s team, thinking they might be at a disadvantage.
But unexpectedly, they were the first to resolve the situation.
Without hesitation, Gu Xiaoxi led everyone to move and then provide support at the next location.
Compared to Gu Xiaoxi’s battlefield, the battlegrounds of the teams from Western State Country and D state were simply too ghastly to bear.
Although they had killed half the Giant Rats, most of the team was injured, and two were dead.
The remaining four or five people desperately held their ground.
And more than forty Giant Rats had surrounded the remaining defeated soldiers from all sides.
If Gu Xiaoxi hadn’t quickly arrived to provide support, those people’s chances of survival would have been slim.
By the ti Gu Xiaoxi finished supporting them, the war ca to an end.
Kate also sent five people from the International Alliance to support two other small teams.
Still, in this battle, out of forty people, four died.
Almost twenty were injured, and the injuries were very serious.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Kate gathered everyone and provided ergency treatnt.
anwhile, he made a call to the headquarters in Lan State Country, asking them to send soone to take the injured back and to send others to provide support.
After that night’s battle, everyone earned so ti to rest.
The next morning, as soon as Gu Xiaoxi opened her eyes, she heard voices arguing at the entrance of the cave.
“Captain, my injury isn’t serious.
I hope to be able to stay!”
Curious, Gu Xiaoxi walked out to see the guy from Southern State Country who had lost a finger last night, standing in front of Kate, speaking earnestly.
Kate snorted coldly, not changing his expression, “Anyone who’s injured, get out of here.
We’ve only faced the first battle, and you are already in this shape.
If you continue, you’ll be just sending yourselves to your deaths.
The helicopter will be here in half an hour.
Everyone get ready, all the injured must leave.”
Looking perplexedly at those people, Gu Xiaoxi turned to Willy and asked, “What’s going on?
With the injuries treated, you can leave.
Why are you unwilling to go?”
Perhaps she had just woken up, with her mind still in a fog.
Willy bit his lip, his eyes full of reluctance as he looked at his teammate with the missing finger, “Leaving ans we’re out of the International Alliance.
Gu Xiaoxi, you’re deliberately making fun of us, aren’t you?”
“…” Gu Xiaoxi was at a loss for words, patting her head, why hadn’t she thought of that just now?
It seems like sleeping seated was not comfortable, and it made her mind dull.
“Take it easy, it’s better to have a life to go back to than to stay here.
We still don’t know what dangers we’ll face in the future.
If we’re not strong enough, dying here would be truly senseless!” Gu Xiaoxi, seeing that Willy was in a bad mood, comforted him.
After all, seeing one’s team mbers leave would sadden anyone.
She could understand.
In the end, the two injured mbers of Willy’s team were sent away.
Not only his team mbers but other injured people were sent away as well.
—Being sent away ant being eliminated!
And only eighteen people remained.
The team mbers from two countries were all eliminated.
It was a cruel experience.
They had been through battle and faced life and death, only to find in the end they didn’t even have the right to stay.
