Chapter 140: A Fleeting Flash Of Brilliance!
“Then let’s pick up the pace. The others are probably already thinking about how to get into the city proper.” Yi Ye Fu Yun did not hesitate and agreed directly.
Xiao Yuan Ye Feng Kuang not only had very strong personal strength, but some of the newcomers following along had also been trained well. In terms of numbers, they were no fewer than his free team.
The two sides together had more than thirty people, accounting for one third of the total participants in this event. As long as they joined forces, they would definitely be stronger than any of the other teams acting alone.
“In that case, let’s plan how we are going to fight.” Xiao Yuan Ye Feng Kuang said.
“These nearly two hundred elites, if we force it head-on, we will definitely be taken out quickly. My suggestion is to kite them first and see if we can lure out a few to kill,” Yi Ye Fu Yun said. “If kiting doesn’t work, then we quickly encircle and wipe out one and see whether these elite monsters will respawn, then decide our next moves.”
Everyone present nodded in agreement, feeling it was necessary to kite first. If they could lure out a few elite monsters, things would become much simpler.
If the mechanism was like a dungeon and aggro on one monster caused all nearby monsters to rush over, then they could only focus fire on one first and think of other solutions later.
“No need to make it so troublesome.” Xiao Yuan Ye Feng Kuang shook their head and suggested, “We just charge in and fight directly. We only need to test whether these elite monsters will respawn. If they do respawn, there is no point in overthinking. If they cannot respawn, then we just wear them down to death, no need to test slowly.”
“Then leave the sub-demon race elite leader to me, the rest you can handle as you like.” Ye Qinglu looked at the giant man Brajiji, who was still slaughtering wilderness gang members, and felt he was an excellent test stone.
Earlier, those elite monsters wearing A6-grade battle armor as quasi-martial artists had not let her fight to her heart’s content. The Brajiji in front of her, dressed in B1-grade battle armor, was undoubtedly much stronger than the other elite monsters. Maybe he could let her complete the final Lightning Strike Three Forms, reach the seventh stage that no one had reached yet, and push her technical level to a new height.
That way, when the Cosmic Pioneer qualification certification began, she would be even more confident in becoming a Cosmic Pioneer.
“Good, then let’s move out!” Seeing everyone ready, Yi Ye Fu Yun also took out an A6-grade Superconducting Electromagnetic Gun, speaking with some anticipation. “It’s not mandatory, but once we reach fifty meters, can we first do a few volleys with the Superconducting Electromagnetic Guns and see how effective they are? I want to use it as reference for later research.”
“No problem, I agree to test it too and see how effective it is. If it works well, our advantage in future team battles will be huge.” Xiao Yuan Ye Feng Kuang’s eyes lit up as well, wanting to see the team combat effect of the Superconducting Electromagnetic Gun.
If the effect was good enough, they could form a team of newcomers to clear those high-level team dungeons. The click count on the strategy guide videos would surely go through the roof.
…
On the main street leading to the city proper, the giant man Brajiji and the others were frenziedly clearing the charging wilderness gang members. With the B1-grade battle armor, strength could be increased by 800 kilograms, and speed could be increased by 8 meters per second.
Even as a Limit Quasi-Martial Artist, each of his strikes carried nearly 1,800 kilograms of strength, with a speed close to 38 meters per second, numbers that ordinary beginner martial artists could hardly reach.
Against those below quasi-martial artist level, if the opponent kept using apprentice-level martial skills to fight, one direct clash would leave them heavily injured, and two clashes would take them out directly.
In less than thirty seconds of battle, Brajiji had taken out ten of the wilderness gang experts, and the other two experts wearing B1-grade battle armor had similar results.
Of the nearly one thousand wilderness gang members who had launched the charge, less than ten percent ultimately broke through, leaving heaps of corpses on the street.
“Captain Brajiji, almost a hundred of them ran in. Should we pursue?” A member of the Nine Streets Gang, watching the wilderness gang members disappear into the city proper streets, quickly reported.
“We will not go after them. Let the people from the other two gangs chase. We will hold this position and clean up the corpses here.” Brajiji shook his head. He had no interest in chasing down those wilderness gang members who had fled inside.
The city proper of Emerald Sky was no paradise. On the contrary, it was even more dangerous than the suburbs. More than ninety percent of the faction members from the suburbs of the Three Major Cities were in the city proper.
According to the information they had received, the factions in the city proper were killing like crazy now. If they rushed in and were accidentally caught in the crossfire, they might die without ever knowing how.
The leaders of the other two gangs took people to chase them only because they wanted to explore a bit and see whether there were any benefits near the city proper.
But this area near the city proper had long been mostly explored by those who entered earlier. Even if anything was left, it would only be insignificant items.
“I really don’t know what these wilderness gangs are thinking. It’s just a human race gang no one has ever heard of, and yet they got so scared they all ran to us.” A middle-aged Nine Streets Gang man who was cleaning up the corpses looked at the bodies on the ground with utter contempt. “The wilderness gangs around the city these days are really getting worse with each generation.”
“Exactly. So many gangs, and they actually got terrified by a single human race gang. The quality of these wilderness gang members has really gotten worse and worse lately.” An older Nine Streets Gang man beside him said with a laugh, “Back when I mixed in the wilderness gangs, the members of the major wilderness gangs, even when they saw monsters in the wild, treated them as food and rushed up without a second word. Back then, the number of roaming monsters around Wanxing City dropped sharply.”
“Now these wilderness gangs are scared to death of a single human race gang. I think those above should conduct a purge of these wilderness gangs and support a new batch. Otherwise, how are these wilderness gangs supposed to operate in the wilderness in the future?”
Everyone from the Nine Streets Gang present nodded in agreement, feeling that today’s wilderness gangs were really no good.
Nearly a thousand people would rather run toward them than deal with a human race gang no one had ever heard of. Wilderness gangs like that truly had no value in existing.
Just as the Nine Streets Gang members were chatting while cleaning the street, they suddenly noticed another group of figures appearing at the end of the street, each moving extremely fast, clearly sprinting toward the city proper at full speed.
“Again? These wilderness gang people really never learn their lesson.”
“This group looks like human race.”
“They really are. They are all wearing silver-gray long-sleeved T-shirts. Could these be the gray-clothed demons those wilderness gangs were talking about?”
“So these are the gray-clothed demons? Those wilderness gang people really are trash, to be scared of a group like this.”
The Nine Streets Gang members looked at the approaching figures and quickly saw their exact appearance, each showing a surprised expression.
Previously, the Nine Streets Gang members had been somewhat interested in the so-called gray-clothed demon, thinking gray-clothed demon should be a pretty decent human race wilderness gang faction.
After all, to make those wilderness gangs flee in all directions, they had to have some strength.
But now that they saw these gray-clothed demons, the Nine Streets Gang people only wanted to laugh.
They were all short, not even two meters tall, and none of them carried proper weapons or armor. They were just charging forward holding B2-grade arrows. For a wilderness gang this poor to be able to scare all the major wilderness gangs to the point of panic, who would believe it?
“Captain Brajiji, from the looks of them, they are not planning to stop. Should we charge in and wipe them out?” A Nine Streets Gang member looked at the approaching players and took the initiative to ask Brajiji.
“Gray-clothed demons, huh?” Brajiji glanced at the charging players, his eyes full of disdain. “Fine, take a squad over and deal with them.”
Among the thirty-plus, there were quite a few quasi-martial artists, a full ten of them, and the rest were generally above advanced apprentice level.
Placed in the wilderness gangs, they would indeed be considered a decent force, so no wonder the wilderness gangs had made such a fuss.
But in front of a fully armed ten-man squad from their Nine Streets Gang, these people were nothing but paper tigers who could be wiped out in minutes.
The Nine Streets Gang man who had asked immediately led nine other members and charged straight toward Yi Ye Fu Yun and the others.
“What is this? Only ten elite monsters coming at us?” Xiao Yuan Ye Feng Kuang stared at the charging Nine Streets Gang members, stunned. “Could it be that, because our numbers are different, the number of elite monsters dispatched is also different?”
Previously, when Brajiji and the others faced the wilderness gangs, everyone had taken action, which made her think the chance of kiting was not high.
She had not expected that when they all came together, they would only draw out ten elite monsters. The difficulty had suddenly dropped so much that it felt unreal.
“They’re coming! Brothers, get ready!” Yi Ye Fu Yun looked at the ten charging Nine Streets Gang members, overjoyed.
He had not expected this wave of elite monsters to be so cooperative, just perfect for testing the effect of multiple Superconducting Electromagnetic Guns focusing on a single elite monster.
The distance between the two sides rapidly shrank.
Two hundred meters…
One hundred meters…
Fifty meters…
“Fire!”
At that moment, Yi Ye Fu Yun drew his Superconducting Electromagnetic Gun and fired a shot at the leading Nine Streets Gang member.
Boom!
More than thirty scorching white beams burst out at once, instantly piercing through all of the Nine Streets Gang members, illuminating the entire street block and leaving charred marks all over the ground.
The Nine Streets Gang members who had been charging with their weapons raised suddenly froze in place as the sonic booms echoed out, as if someone had cast a paralysis spell on them.
Less than half a second later, the ten quasi-martial artists of the Nine Streets Gang all collapsed to the ground together, their bodies riddled with holes, blood gushing out and dyeing the street red.
