In fact, Liu Gang was still too optimistic.
After night fell, the mutated beasts, who were still very afraid of the "100,000-strong army" during the day, no longer had the concept of fear at night.
Moreover, with so many people in the wilderness, be it the commotion or the sll of "flesh and blood", it could greatly stimulate the mutated beasts that were already even more bloodthirsty and restless at night.
Such a large group of people was like prey covered in wounds that had fallen into a river filled with piranhas.
Even if there were searchlights around the camp that were as bright as day, they could not stop those crazy mutated beasts.
However, these violent mutated beasts could not cause any damage to the tens of thousands of beasts.
After a night, other than leaving corpses all over the ground outside the camp, there was no damage to the army.
Then, the main force began to clean up the area within a radius of ten kiloters.
However, this ti, the process was not so smooth.
After all, the further out they went, the more mutated beasts there would be, and the higher their levels would be.
Moreover, there were many places around Jiangzhou City that even rcenaries would not go to. This led to the proliferation of mutated beasts in these places.
Just like the group of tough opponents they were encountering now.
They were the Butchers of the Desert in the west of Jiangzhou City.
These Butchers of the Desert were not the "Renekton" in League of Legends, but hordes of lizardn wrapped in a layer of sand.
The individual combat power of these Desert Butchers was very ordinary. If the Ironback Pigs were given enough distance, even the Ironback Pigs might not be able to defeat them one-on-one.
However, these guys could also create quicksand, just like the strategy they used to change the terrain when resisting those high-level mutated beasts in Jiangzhou City.
Moreover, the quantity was huge, directly creating a quicksand desert that was one to two kiloters wide and a few kiloters long.
What was ridiculous was that this large sand desert could still be moved!
Originally, Liu Gang and the others wanted to go around them, but these Desert Butchers stuck to them instead.
Moreover, they stretched the desert especially thin and long, wanting to use quicksand to split the army's formation.
Needless to say, thousands of people had been separated from the Butchers of the Desert.
Moreover, before the army could react, earth-yellow scorpions appeared from under the quicksand desert.
Because of the color, no one could tell without looking carefully.
The bodies of these scorpions were about the size of an adult man's feet, but their tails were exceptionally long and slender. At a rough glance, they were about a ter long.
The dim hook at the end of the tail looked horrifying.
After these scorpions erged from the ground, they swung their tails and began to attack the nearby army and beasts without saying a word.
In such a sudden situation, so soldiers could not help but be stung by the scorpions.
Soon, their entire body would swell up and they would lose their combat strength.
The legions were not bold enough to equip every soldier with a full body of protective shields.
Therefore, it was very difficult to deal with this wave.
With the size of these scorpions, the nurical advantage was not an advantage, but a disadvantage.
Because there were too many people and these scorpions were moving around the feet of the crowd, they attacked the ankles and calves. Therefore, be it the soldiers or beasts, they could only use the most primitive thod—stamp!
However, because the sand below was constantly flowing, it was very difficult to attack these agile and small scorpions.
This made the people surrounded quite passive.
"General, the 3rd Legion is in bad shape."
"There are already hundreds of injured people!"
As Liu Gang listened to his subordinate's report, his expression turned slightly ugly.
"Has the General Staff found a way to deal with these things?"
"We're still discussing it. Our initial plan is to use the Ironback Pig and large flying-type beasts to evacuate the people and leave so beasts as bait. Then, we'll use a large-scale attack to cover that area."
Hearing this thod, Liu Gang's brows did not relax at all.
It was mainly because this thod was too stupid.
"Transfer the chanical beasts over!"
The subordinate hesitated for a mont, but he imdiately nodded and agreed. Then, he went to give the order.
The Jiangzhou City Army had a chanical beast army of more than 500.
However, this unit had always existed as Liu Gang's personal guard.
After all, these chanical beasts were much more reliable than humans no matter how one looked at them.
They were not afraid of death and were firm.
They were simply the perfect candidates for being a "human wall".
These chanical beasts could also perfectly restrain the scorpions that erged from the ground.
"Are these chanical beasts?"
When the chanical beasts rushed into the quicksand area and began to escort the soldiers out, Chen Wen and Shang Min, who were also observing the battle, watched with shining eyes.
Su Hongcheng returned to the city at night.
Although Su Hongcheng was no longer around to explain, their identities were still valued by the army, so there was no shortage of people around to explain.
"Yes, these beasts are in charge of protecting General Liu's safety."
Looking at the chanical beasts that were about to pierce their tails bald, Shang Min was tempted again.
These chanical beasts seed… seed to be more professional than the Bear n he had seen in Jiangzhou City?!
Moreover, it seed like he didn't have to worry about anything, let alone pay his salary.
If Dojo Master Lin could build a chanical Beast Taming Dojo for the Central Province City's Public Security Departnt, wouldn't all the sheriffs be eliminated in the future?!
Hiss…
Then wouldn't he lose his job?
Shang Min, who had been very tempted just now, suddenly thought of this serious problem.
However, thinking about it carefully, there shouldn't be such a problem.
Where it was safe, the human sheriff would go. Where it was dangerous, the chanical beasts would go. Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?
Of course, when the ti ca, there would definitely be redundancy in the Public Security Departnt.
Then he'll just optimize it~
In any case, they were mostly useless people. Shang Min, the Chief of the Public Security Bureau, still had the authority.
Thinking of this, Shang Min imdiately felt better. At the sa ti, he placed the highest priority on the chanical Beast Taming Dojo.
The mont he saw Dojo Master Lin, he was prepared to… beg this mighty figure to co to build such a dojo in Central Province.
While Shang Min was thinking about the future, the chanical beasts successfully controlled the situation.
Although those Desert Butchers knew how to use tactics, they were only mutated beasts with a little brain.
Looking at the chanical beasts that had yet to leave the encirclent, they still felt that their thod was effective. Therefore, they kept swimming in the quicksand and wanted to capture these chanical beasts and the other beasts that had been left inside as bait so that they could have a good al.
Unfortunately, when they surrounded them, what greeted them were iron fists that were bigger than sandbags and various skills that spat fire and generated hail.
In just three to five minutes, these Desert Butchers were forced back.
Of course, because these things ran very fast in the desert, there was not much that was killed.
After so rest, the army continued westward.
They had only cleared less than a quarter of the "Second Loop" in this ten-kiloter area.
Just as everyone in the army was ready to set off, a ssenger in charge of communications in front of the army received a ssage from the scout in the air ahead.
"There's a high-tier mutated beast ahead!"
"It looks like a spider, but… but its legs are all human arms…"
Hearing the ssenger's description, soone on the side imdiately said the mutated beast's na—
"A Man-Ard Spider?!"
"How many are there?"
"Just one."
Hearing that there was only one spider, the officer who knew the situation of so of the Man-Ard Spiders let out a sigh of relief.
But then he thought of a very bad possibility…
"Can we take a look at the Man-Ard Spider's head?"
"Sure, but you'll have to wait for a while."
