The speed of the Gale Mantis was hard to deal with, but in front of absolute power, it wasn’t able to cause any harm.
Lin Zhan was a 4-star soldier-level martial warrior now. He didn’t even need to use his full strength. He flung his battle axes out and chopped off the sickle-shaped limbs that were giving off a metallic glint.
Only this pair of sickle-shaped limbs that possessed attacking power was as hard as metal. Except for this, the other parts of the Gale Mantis were extremely soft. Lin Zhan slashed his battle axes again, and the sharp blades split the Gale Mantis into two.
When the green blood spurted out, he dodged out of the way.
Yan Jinming and his sister didn’t have an easy and casual fight like Lin Zhan’s, but they didn’t have a problem handling a Gale Mantis. Very soon, they killed their Gale Mantis.
Ni Ya and the other dwarves exchanged glances with one another when they saw this. They were flabbergasted.
So powerful!
Lin Zhan’s strength exceeded their expectation.
The next moment, Ni Ya was elated. The stronger Lin Zhan and his team were, the higher their chances of clearing the Gale Mantis.
“Leader, be careful of where you are chopping. The front limbs of the Gale Mantis are precious smithery ingredients. Don’t destroy them,” Liu Yan reminded him from behind.
Lin Zhan looked at the front limbs of the Gale Mantis that had been chopped into half. He laughed awkwardly and said, “Haha, I didn’t notice it. I will keep them safe and sound next time.”
“These are all money. Don’t waste it.” Liu Yan was still worried.
“Alright, alright.”
When they charged into the field, they had already alerted the other ten Gale Mantis deeper in the field. They all flapped their wings and flew into the air, launching a combined assault.
A single or two Gale Mantis weren’t hard to deal with. However, there were too many of them now. They were fast, and their sickle-shaped front limbs added an extra threat. If they stabbed the vital spots on their bodies, they would get a severe injury and might even die.
In an instant, Yan Jinming, his sister, and the dwarves felt pressurized.
Only Lin Zhan remained invincible. He waved his giant axes to the right and left, and many Gale Mantis corpses piled up below his feet.
Liu Yan focused on covering up Yan Jinming and his sister. She would fire a shot occasionally to force away the Gale Mantis that was attacking the two of them. Of course, she didn’t forget to take care of the dwarves. Even though there was some unhappiness between them a moment ago, this wasn’t the time to settle the scores. The mission was the most important thing.
“Why aren’t you moving?” As she pulled the trigger, she asked Wang Teng, who was still standing beside her.
“I want to wait and see,” Wang Teng replied calmly.
Lin Zhan and the others were able to handle the situation for now. There were no dangers, so he focused his attention on finding the Gale Mantis King.
Liu Yan shrugged. She didn’t continue talking. She believed that Wang Teng had his own plan.
As time passed, more and more Gale Mantis were killed by Lin Zhan and the others…
“Oh no, it’s the Gale Mantis King!” On the other side, Ni Ya and Wa Ke suddenly screamed in astonishment while fighting with a Gale Mantis.
A Gale Mantis shot out from the depths of the weed-covered field. Its body was two times bigger than the normal Gale Mantis. It slashed its thicker and bigger sickle-shaped front limbs down on Ni Ya’s head.
Ni Ya was small and dainty, so she was quick on her feet too. However, she was entangled in a fight with another Gale Mantis when this Gale Mantis King launched a surprise attack. It had caught her off guard, so she was unable to dodge.
“Ni Ya!” Wa Ke was so angry that his eyes popped out. He shouted loudly, but he was unable to free himself to save her.
You were hiding there? Why didn’t I see you with my Spiritual Sight?
This question flashed across Wang Teng’s mind. He held his sword in one hand and stabbed it out.
But… I have been waiting for you for a long time!
The sword glow slashed through the air. Although Wang Teng acted later, his attack arrived first. He cut the Gale Mantis King directly and killed it in one move. Its green blood spurted on Ni Ya and Wa Ke’s faces.
Liu Yan turned her head to look at Wang Teng. Her face was filled with astonishment.
“This power… 4-star soldier level?!”
She was confused. Wasn’t Wang Teng a 1-star soldier-level martial warrior? Although he had killed a 2-star soldier-level martial warrior before, that was a coincidence. But, just now, he slew a 3-star Gale Mantis King directly. When did he become so powerful?
Wang Teng smiled. He didn’t explain himself. Instead, he looked at the corpse of the Gale Mantis King.
Ni Ya and Wa Ke were still in shock. They thought that they were doomed this time. They didn’t expect Wang Teng to kill the Gale Mantis King with a single sword attack and save Ni Ya.
The other Gale Mantis was stunned by Wang Teng’s sword glow. However, it reacted in time and started attacking Ni Ya and Wa Ke again.
“Bang!”
At this moment, a bullet penetrated its skull, and its head dropped from mid-air.
“Do you want to die?” Liu Yan shouted angrily.
Ni Ya and Wa Ke regained their senses immediately. When they looked at the corpse of the Gale Mantis that was less than half a step away from them, a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on their backs.
Wang Teng ignored the complex gazes of these two dwarves. His attention was attracted by the two attribute bubbles that the Gale Mantis King had dropped.
Wind Force*36
Wave Invisibility*1
He used his spiritual power to pull them over without any hesitation.
Instantly, his wind Force increased by 36 points.
Wang Teng shuddered. There seemed to be a faint sound of glass breaking coming from inside his body. It sounded as though he had broken a certain bottleneck, and the wind Force surged out of his first Force nucleus. It entered the second Force nucleus and slowly circled inside.
Wang Teng looked at his attributes panel.
At first, he had 85 points of wind Force. Now, he had broken through the 100 points 1-star limit and reached the 2-star level.
Wind Force: 21/500 (2-star)
Wind element 2-star soldier level!
Wang Teng’s gaze continued scanning down. In his battle techniques column, he saw the second gain from the Gale Mantis King.
Wave Invisibility: (1/100 foundation)
After receiving this skill, he finally understood why he wasn’t able to find the Gale Mantis King with his Spiritual Sight.
That was because of this concealing talent skill.
However, after Wang Teng picked it up, it didn’t become Wang Teng’s talent. Instead, it existed as a form of battle technique.
Even so, Wang Teng was elated. This was a good skill. Since it was able to hide from the inspection of his Spiritual Sight, this showed how powerful the skill was.
At this moment, Lin Zhan and the others had cleared the rest of the Gale Mantis. They walked over.
“Let’s clear the corpses of the Gale Mantis. We can go back then.” Lin Zhan’s battle-axes were covered with the blood of the Gale Mantis. It hadn’t dried yet. He wiped it on the weeds at the side and then placed them on his back.
Ni Ya and the other three dwarves came over too. They all thanked Wang Teng.
Wa Ke, who was standing beside Ni Ya, had a complicated expression. He said in a low and muffled voice, “Martial warrior of the human race, thank you for saving Ni Ya. I apologize for my impoliteness just now.”
“There’s no need to thank me. We had a mission, so this is what I should be doing,” Wang Teng said.
“Wang Teng, you’re improving very quickly. You can even kill a Gale Mantis King with a single slash,” Lin Zhan exclaimed.
“Yes. It has only been a short time, but you have reached this stage already.” Yan Jinming was also shocked.
“I thought that I won’t be the one dragging everyone down anymore after Wang Teng joined us. In the end, I’m still unable to get rid of this title,” Yan Jinyue said with a sad face.
“Hahaha…” Lin Zhan and the others burst out laughing.
