1097 Teammates?
F*ck! Why now of all times?
“The cave-dwelling beast has learned how to attack from both sides?”
“Chi! Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi Chi!!”
The dense white bone spears streaked through the air. They were going to be wiped out!
An S-level difficulty mission was actually this terrifying?
The team was at a loss for a moment. Wei Tao instantly felt like he had stepped into a huge trap. The cave-dwelling beasts and the barbarians had joined forces. They had been surrounded like dumplings!
Damn it! He should have considered this long ago!
The barbarians had invaded the Empire through the underground passage, so it was reasonable for them to join forces with the cave-dwelling beasts!
Now was not the time to regret! He had to think of a way to break out of this situation!
Wei Tao forced himself to look for an opportunity to turn the tables.
“Hurry up! Release the defensive barrier!”
The two assistants in Wei Tao’s team pulled out a scroll from their backpacks at the same time.
“Buzz!!”
A light purple barrier enveloped everyone in the team.
Mikhael also reached out and grabbed a white crystal, ready to withstand this wave of attacks.
Eh?!
Something didn’t seem right.
“Chi! Chi Chi!”
The dense bone spears swept past the defensive barrier that the two players had set up.
What was going on? Did the bone spears miss?
It was fine if one of them was off, but all of them were off?
Everyone was stunned for a moment and looked up at the trajectory of the bone spears in the air.
The bone spears swept past the top of the player team and plunged straight into the group of flying snakes that were chasing after them.
“Boom! Boom Boom Boom!”
The bone spears exploded crazily after landing on the flying snakes!
The flying snakes, which had already lost a portion of their HP from the flames, were now heavily injured, and large numbers of them fell to the ground.
The players were shocked and could not help but gasp.
What was going on? The target of the cave-dwelling beasts was actually the flying snakes. Were they teammates? Was the team saved?
The players were still a little confused and didn’t understand the situation.
After the first wave of bone spears had been released, the second and third rows of cave-dwelling beasts behind them brought up new bone spears.
The first row of cave-dwelling beasts continued to throw their bone spears.
The team worked together in an orderly manner, attacking the group of flying snakes in waves.
“F*ck!”
Mo Jiawei cursed in a low voice.
The cave-dwelling beasts were even working together as a team!
The dense bone spears fell into the group of flying snakes, causing a large number of group injuries.
But the strange thing was, why did these cave-dwelling beasts suddenly become their teammates?
Or were they overthinking? These cave-dwelling beasts just happened to be there, and they wanted to kill both of them?
Wei Tao realized that his team was stuck in the middle of the battle between the barbarians and the cave-dwelling beasts.
He was at a loss and did not know how to deal with the current situation.
To move forward or retreat backward?
What if the cave-dwelling beasts suddenly turned against them? Was there still a way out?
Just as he was caught in a dilemma, one of the players suddenly noticed something and shouted in surprise, “Brother Tao! Look, it’s Mr. Fang! F*ck, he’s mixed in with the cave-dwelling beasts! I knew that Mr. Fang had a backup plan!”
Everyone was stunned and turned to look in the direction the player was pointing.
What? Fang Heng?
Immediately after, they saw Fang Heng mixing in with the cave-dwelling beasts.
Fang Heng was standing next to the leader of the cave-dwelling beasts. Beside him, Argyll was shouting something with his hands raised, but his voice was completely drowned out by the nearby explosion.
Looking at the shape of his mouth, he seemed to be shouting…
“Is it ‘teammates’?”
So…
What was happening?
Earlier on, the cave-dwelling beasts were still trying to pursue and kill them. After more than an hour, Fang Heng managed to trick the cave-dwelling beasts into becoming his teammates.
Wei Tao’s mind was in a mess.
He knew that Fang Heng had a lot of tricks up his sleeves, but what he did was really amazing.
That was too exaggerated.
If he had not seen it with his own eyes…
“Brother Tao, they’re teammates, they’re really teammates!”
Tang Mingyue’s face lit up.
Wei Tao immediately came back to his senses. He threw away all the messy thoughts in his mind and focused on commanding the current team.
He could confirm that the cave-dwelling beasts were on their side.
This way, their team would have the ability to deal with the dense group of flying snakes!
As for the barbarians, the Empire’s elites and player teams would be able to stop them!
Wei Tao’s brain quickly assessed the battle situation.
There was a high chance that he could complete the trial reward mission!
The bone spears of the cave-dwelling beasts had already blocked the path of the flying snakes. What they needed to do was to defend their positions and not let the barbarians get close.
Wei Tao said in a deep voice, “Move, get into formation, and prepare for battle! Don’t let the enemy get close to the rear! Mikhael, let’s help stop them!”
“Oh, alright.”
Mikhael was full of fighting spirit. He raised the purple essence sword in his hand and rushed into the barbarians in front of him.
The players and the barbarians began a fierce melee battle.
Fang Heng was standing at the back of the battlefield, talking to the leader of the cave-dwelling beasts through Argyll.
The cave-dwelling beasts were somewhat excited. The leader was explaining the origin of these barbarians to Fang Heng.
The area occupied by the barbarians had always been a forbidden area for the cave-dwelling beasts. It had been forcibly occupied by the barbarians some time ago.
In fact, the cave-dwelling beasts had already discovered this group of barbarians, but they couldn’t do anything to the barbarians when they were in their demonized state.
The black stratum corneum’s defensive capabilities after being demonized were simply too astonishing. The cave-dwelling beasts were completely unable to defeat them.
As a result, they could only watch helplessly as the barbarian race occupied the forbidden land.
It was only when Fang Heng expressed his willingness to help completely eliminate this group of barbarians that the leader of the cave-dwelling beasts readily agreed and immediately led the warriors of his clan to reclaim their lost land.
Argyll translated the leader’s words to Fang Heng, “Well, Fang Heng, they are very grateful to you for helping them regain their territory.”
“You’re welcome,”
Fang Heng said with a smile.
His zombie clones were still in the underground sealed area attacking the remaining giant alchemy bodies. It would have been a headache to encounter so many flying snakes.
Fortunately, the cave-dwelling beasts could help.
“Fang Heng, they are willing to follow the guidance of the Saint and are willing to help you completely destroy the demonic seed and let the underground world return to peace.”
“Yes, of course. Maintaining the peace of the underground world is what we’ve always been pursuing.”
Fang Heng nodded and said, “It’s impossible to completely destroy the demonic seed in a day. For this, we need to make a lot of equipment and tools. Well, we want to mine some minerals from the underground world.”
Huh?
Argyll was stunned for a moment, then translated Fang Heng’s words.
“The leader said that there is no problem with the mining of the ores. They are also very willing to help, but they are a little worried about Princess Mingyue’s condition.”
“Tang Mingyue will be fine.”
Fang Heng shifted his gaze to the center of the battlefield again as he spoke.
The group of flying snakes fell wave after wave under the bombardment of the bone spears.
Unfortunately, he didn’t have many contribution points, so the drop rate was very limited.
In any case, the flying snake would only drop a Tier 1 mutation crystal, so it did not matter much.
