“We’ll talk about that when the time comes!”
Huang Xiu declined politely.
She knew nothing about the so-called Blood Attack Society, so she wouldn’t blindly agree to an invitation from a stranger.
After observing briefly and confirming the deployment direction, Huang Xiu stopped delaying.
Through [Senluo], she had the Sophora tree giant violently hurl Yun Ning and Wen Erya forward.
“Off you go!”
With that shout, a massive surge of momentum struck them, sending the two flying out like cannonballs.
In the blink of an eye, they crossed dozens of meters and reached the area above Huai Nannan and her team.
As Yun Ning and Wen Erya stretched their bodies mid-air, they observed the entire battlefield.
Below, the D1 squad was surrounded by a swarm of Soldier-rank Dragon Abominations, barely holding on.
A General-rank Dragon Abomination was already nearby, poised to strike a fatal blow at any moment.
To resolve the situation, there was only one way.
They had to help the D1 squad break free, then team up to capture the leader!
Both of them reached the same conclusion.
Wen Erya pushed her [Beastification] ability to its limit.
Supple tiger ears popped out from her head; her nails grew sharp, her fangs elongated, and soft pads grew on her hands and feet to increase explosive power and dampen noise.
Why had she never cared about shoes before?
Because when she fought with her full strength, shoes were nothing but a hindrance!
Wen Erya spun twice in the air.
Her hands touched the ground first, followed by her feet, just like a true great cat.
The moment she landed, the impact was completely absorbed by her paw pads, allowing her next move to proceed without a hitch.
With a tiger’s roar, she pounced toward Huai Nannan’s side.
Yun Ning didn’t have such an ability and couldn’t ignore the landing impact to act immediately.
He performed a breakfall, rolling several times to dissipate the massive momentum of the throw.
However, as he was still rolling forward, the General-rank Dragon Abomination happened to be advancing as well.
Yun Ning looked up at the General-rank, and the General-rank looked down; their bodies were reflected in each other’s pupils.
The two sides stared at each other, falling into a momentary, awkward silence.
In the next second, a sharp claw swiped down.
Seeing this, Yun Ning cried out internally about his bad luck.
In his haste, he performed a bridge maneuver, narrowly dodging the claw.
But this move meant surrendering the initiative to the General-rank.
Though it didn’t understand the concept of pressing an advantage, its beastly instincts drove it to attack immediately.
Forced into a corner, Yun Ning kicked off the ground and laid flat.
He continued rolling backward until he hit the foot of a Soldier-rank Dragon Abomination.
That abomination had been about to join the siege on the squad.
Sensing something at its feet, it looked down.
It looked with some confusion at the human who had inexplicably crashed into its foot, essentially delivering himself to its door.
The next second, an embarrassed and enraged Yun Ning punched through its chest with a fist glowing with white light.
He pulled his fist back and sprang to his feet with a carp leap.
By then, the three behind him, aided by Wen Erya’s “god-sent” arrival, had successfully broken free from the swarm and reached Yun Ning’s side.
The four senior students stood in the front, with Ying Zhiyu positioned behind them.
They all looked toward the General-rank Dragon Abomination, white light flickering simultaneously in their five pairs of eyes, their intent clear.
As for the nearby Soldier-rank Dragon Abominations, no one paid them any mind.
The sea of green had already spread over, clashing with the remaining Soldier-ranks.
Of course, whether in terms of individual strength or numbers, the mutated plants were slightly inferior to the Dragon Abominations.
But for now, they only needed to stall.
If they could hold out until the two squads joined forces to decapitate the General-rank, they could stop its behavior of continuously summoning more Soldier-ranks.
The remaining abominations would be trivial.
“The second round begins,” Huai Nannan whispered, and Wei Xing nodded beside her.
“Will we win?”
Ying Zhiyu, who had watched countless series, really wanted to say something here, but she held it back.
Because the situation was too unfavorable.
Wen Erya didn’t speak; she shook her body, flicking away the blood and filth clinging to her ears and the fine fur on her skin.
“After twenty days of training… my strength has improved significantly. Now is the time to verify my growth.”
Yun Ning’s eyes shifted as he slowly assumed a starting stance of Great Xia ancient martial arts learned in combat class.
For some reason, the General-rank Dragon Abomination actually stopped.
Its gaze passed through the gaps between the five people, landing on the young girl sitting atop the giant’s head.
A red light flashed in its eyes.
Immediately after, it threw its head back and opened its mouth wide, letting out a shrill, piercing shriek that seemed to tear through the sky.
“Aonng!”
The puddles of filthy water on the ground rippled with the sound waves, and the glass of nearby residential buildings shattered instantly.
The Soldier-rank Dragon Abominations guarding it covered their ears, wailing in agony.
The two squads were further away, so they only felt the roar was sharp and noisy.
Looking at the General-rank, Yun Ning’s expression changed.
“This is…?”
With the six of them working together, killing this General-rank wouldn’t be a problem.
But the strange behavior the abomination suddenly exhibited cast a shadow over his heart.
He had a nagging feeling that something bad was about to happen.
“We can’t let it keep screaming!” Yun Ning shouted.
Even if he didn’t know what the purpose of this action was, he knew that stopping it was definitely the right choice.
But before he could act, a very polite greeting suddenly came from behind them.
“What are you screaming so loud for?!”
Following the shout was a sharp, whistling sound of something tearing through the air.
By now, the heavy rain that had lasted for tens of minutes had slowed into a drizzling pitter-patter.
A spiral wooden spear over two meters long flew past the five of them.
Under the astonished gazes of the D1 squad, it slammed into the General-rank Dragon Abomination’s upper body, sending it flying backward.
The shrill roar was knocked right back into its throat.
Thump!
At that moment, the Sophora tree giant strode over to the five of them.
Huang Xiu remained seated on its head, not coming down.
“Quiet now,” she smiled.
“It looks like you don’t need help after all!”
Xidu City, Urban Village Touchpoint.
A solitary, pure white cloud floated in the sky.
The drizzling rain fell from the heavens, hitting the mist swirling above the cloud and rolling off to the side.
The cloud was about the size of a bed, and three men were sitting cross-legged on it.
The one speaking was a handsome man wearing an administrative jacket and gold-rimmed glasses.
He pushed his glasses up; a blue light flickered in his eyes behind the lenses.
The flickering blue light was a Void Art that enhanced vision.
It allowed him to see every movement on the ground clearly, even from such a high altitude.
He currently maintained this Void Art, looking down from above to observe the movements of the entire Touchpoint.
