There was still half of the way to get out of the encirclement. It sounded quite exciting. However, this also meant that they were in the center of the encirclement. That's right, they had passed half of the encirclement, and there was still half of the encirclement left.
If the ant army suddenly retreated to the center, it would be a pincer attack.
Originally, there were twelve people in the team. Two weaklings had already rested. But when they saw the others earning points so easily, they couldn't help but start attacking again after a short rest. The soreness in their arms hadn't recovered, so their efficiency would definitely be lower if they continued. But they didn't want to earn less points than others, so they gritted their teeth and persevered.
"Not good!"
One of them had no strength in his arms, and his shield wasn't stable. An ant's tentacle reached in and scratched his waist, causing blood to spurt out. Once his waist was injured, all his strength was lost.
Oh no! Once a gap appeared in the shield formation, it was a big taboo. If it wasn't dealt with in time, the entire team would be scattered. When that happened, everyone would have to face more than ten ants at the same time. There was no way to fight at all, and they would probably be swallowed in an instant.
The team leader steeled his heart and kicked him out of the team. This kick was very powerful, and it sent him flying far away.
This … The team members originally wanted to save him and protect him in the middle of the shield formation, but they didn't expect Captain Xu to do this.
"Ah!"
The team member who was kicked out only had time to let out a scream, and then there was no sound. Because his body was covered in ants, he was instantly gnawed into bone armor. This time, perhaps because there were too many ants, some of his bones were broken. But his heart and brain weren't damaged, which meant he was still alive.
"Don't? Gather? Crack? Crack!
At first, everyone wanted to blame Captain Xu for being too ruthless, and why didn't he protect him? But Captain Xu didn't think so, because protecting the injured would only slow down the team's progress. And if that happened, the ants might rush into the center of the team, and then everyone would be in trouble.
Captain Xu's decision was quite decisive. At first, the team members didn't understand, but they immediately reacted and followed him to kill. With the eleven of them working together, they quickly arrived in front of that team member. Captain Xu went all out and stabbed him to death with his spear.
Uh … Seeing this scene, the corners of the team members' mouths twitched, thinking that their captain was too ruthless. Although everyone knew that this person's injuries were too severe, bringing him along would definitely be a burden. But they couldn't bring themselves to do it to their own teammates.
"What are you standing there for? Shrink the formation!"
Captain Xu retrieved the soul of that member and immediately ordered for the formation to shrink. If they continued to kill at full strength, they would die of exhaustion. If the team members were to run out of stamina and the shield formation slackened, it would be troublesome once the ants rushed in.
"Pull back, we'll also pull back our formation."
When Uncle Hao saw this, he immediately ordered for the formation to shrink. Whenever someone ran out of stamina, he would ask that person to retreat to the middle of the group to rest. This kind of thing couldn't rely on self-awareness, because everyone wanted to bask in the glory, so they could only forcefully give orders.
Interesting. Du Feng observed Captain Xu's actions. He wasn't that old, and his background should be ordinary as well. However, he did things swiftly and decisively. As long as he was given some time, he should be able to grow in these few years. One could tell just by looking at the team he led. They were all young lads.
This group of youngsters had limitless potential. They killed enemies faster than others, and their desire to earn money was also very strong. They just wanted to rely on their own hard work to fight for more resources. Only with resources could they compete with the Primordial Gods. If they couldn't get resources, they wouldn't even have the chance to compete.
Since that was the case, then he would help them more.
Du Feng summoned a few more Blood Piercing Flying Swords to continuously disrupt the formation of the ant army. This way, the speed of their charge would slow down.
Even if Captain Xu didn't notice it at first, he would notice it after a while. Often in times of danger, the charging ants would suddenly fall, giving them a lot of breathing room. This was clearly someone helping them.
Just who was secretly helping them? Was it someone from the same village? Impossible, they didn't have that ability. They were all neighbors, so they knew each other's capabilities very well. The only one who could help was the team of two. So was it Du Feng or Chen Tianlei who was helping them? He first locked onto Chen Tianlei.
Why did he lock onto Chen Tianlei first? It was because he was charging with a Level 1 God Thearch Cultivation Realm. That in itself was already very special. Moreover, he had a tattoo on his forehead and was very fierce when killing enemies. From time to time, a layer of electricity would appear on his hands. One look and one could tell that he wasn't an ordinary person.
Another important thing was that the red flying swords that were flying around were very similar to the spearhead in Chen Tianlei's hand. They seemed to be the same thing. Hence, Captain Xu deduced that Chen Tianlei had helped them greatly.
Du Feng didn't explain such things. He just did what he thought he should do.
"We're rich, we're rich. I've already killed more than 50."
"Haha, you can't do it. I've already killed more than 60. We're really rich this time."
Everyone's initial plan was to kill six to earn enough money for one resurrection. If they didn't die and returned normally, it would be a profit. If they died, it wouldn't be a loss. If there were more than six, even if they died and returned to resurrect, it would still be a profit.
"Stop bragging. Look at those two."
Everyone followed the voice and looked towards where Du Feng and Chen Tianlei were. They saw that the two of them weren't advancing steadily, but were actually spinning. The joints between the shields were constantly changing directions to make it easier for them to kill the ant army coming from different directions.
The two of them were so fast that people couldn't see them clearly. Moreover, every time that Chen Tianlei attacked, there would be an electric effect. While killing a batch of ants, the ants next to it were also electrocuted until they were numb. This greatly increased the efficiency of killing.
"Who do you think those two are? Why did they come to our Emperor Lin City?"
"That's right. With their abilities, why did they come here? Our Emperor Lin City isn't a good place."
