On the branches on the 21st checkpoint of the Stairway Tree, the 28 hunting teams faced the main branch and waited.
The third monster attack was much more difficult than the second. Not only were there Tentacle Beetles, but there was also a monster from the 29th checkpoint, the Velocious Swordfiend.
The immortal-level rank-4 Velocious Swordfiend had a terrifying speed that was close to an immortal-level rank-6. Even if it was a one-on-one battle, at least half of the 200 people present would not be able to fight the monster. Moreover, the monster liked to ambush them while hiding among the beetles.
Everyone had a serious expression on their faces. Nobody wanted to die in the monster attack as they would not only be sent back to the first checkpoint at the bottom of the Stairway Tree, but 50% of their points would also be deducted.
Soon, the monster horde arrived.
In front of them, the branches were densely packed with black beetles.
Lin Huang observed from afar, but he did not see the Velocious Swordfiend that Zhao San had mentioned.
The hunting teams did not act rashly as well. They waited patiently for the beetles to arrive before they started killing them.
However, the members of the hunting teams were no longer fighting alone. Instead, they were working in pairs to kill the beetles.
Zhao San's team was no exception. There were six of them, and they were divided into three teams to kill the monsters.
Meanwhile, Zhao San and the rest did not bother about Lin Huang.
To them, the fact that Lin Huang was able to kill the Tentacle Beetles in a second proved that his ability was far more powerful than theirs. Zhao San and the rest knew very well that as a psychic, Lin Huang had mastered at least 100 telekinetic weapons. However, until now, he had only used one telekinetic dagger and had yet to show his true ability. Instead of worrying about him, it was better to worry about themselves.
Lin Huang followed behind Zhao San and the rest like a tourist.
In the battlefield where humans and the beetles were killing each other, he was like an oddity that stood out.
All the Tentacle Beetles that charged at Lin Huang would have their heads exploded by a silver glow. Within a 10-meter radius around him, apart from the broken pieces of the dead monsters, there was nothing else alive.
Lin Huang followed behind Zhao San and the rest. He had ventured deep into the beast horde, but he did not see the Velocious Saber Demon that Zhao San had mentioned.
"Is this monster hiding too well, or is it not here at all?" Lin Huang was interested in this unknown species. One reason was that this species was not recorded in the monster guide, and the other was that this monster's attack method was sword skills.
Just as Lin Huang was pondering this question, several streaks of black light suddenly rushed out from the horde of beasts, like bolts of black lightning flashing across the void, pouncing towards him.
When the black light flashed, Lin Huang immediately noticed it. These things that were attacking him were definitely not the Tentacle Beetles from before. The Tentacle Beetles were not this fast.
"He has finally appeared!"
The corner of Lin Huang's mouth twitched, and two more flying knives appeared in front of him. Three silver lights instantly shot out, tearing the void, and shot toward the three black shadows that pounced on him.
In the next second, the silver lights pierced through the black shadows, and three devastating cries came from the void almost at the same time. The cries were different from the ear-piercing sound that the Tentacle Beetles made when they were killed. They were more like the cries of beasts.
Three unusual cries were heard at the same time, and many people looked in Lin Huang's direction.
Even Zhao San and the rest could not help but turn to look in Lin Huang's direction.
At this moment, a few more rays of black light flashed across the sky, heading straight for Zhao San and the others who were slightly distracted.
Although Zhao San and the rest had noticed it, it was too late to react when they saw the black lights flashing and heading straight for Zhao San and the rest.
Once again, three silver lights shot out before Lin Huang. This time, the speed of the silver lights was even faster than when he killed the three black shadows. Just when the three black shadows pounced on them, and Zhao San and the rest were horrified, the silver lights pierced through the bodies of the black shadows.
In less than two seconds, Lin Huang had killed six Velocious Saber Demons. This caused everyone nearby to be dumbfounded.
Even some of the powerhouses who did not pay much attention to Lin Huang, the newcomer, were shocked by Lin Huang's ability after witnessing the scene.
On the other hand, Zhao San and the rest were secretly evaluating Lin Huang's ability.
Lin Huang did not care about the others' gazes. He turned his head to look at the disintegrating carcass of a Velocious Saber Demon and finally saw the monster's appearance clearly.
Its head was triangular, and the top half was a compound eye that took up most of its face, while the bottom half was a huge mouth with jagged teeth. Its upper body was covered in a layer of tough carapace, and it had four extremely sharp knife arms. There was also a pair of shiny black wings on its back. Below its body was a pair of folded legs with barbs, and one could tell that it had amazing jumping ability.
Although this monster walked on two legs, it was obvious from its body structure that it belonged to the Bug Tribe. It was completely different from what Lin Huang had imagined from Zhao San's description.
"I thought it was a humanoid monster. Turns out it's a Bug Tribe." Lin Huang shook his head in disappointment. He finally understood why he did not notice the existence of this monster after observing it for a few times. This monster had an extremely strong camouflage ability. It could blend into its surroundings perfectly and deceive people's eyes.
"Its speed isn't bad, and its camouflage ability is indeed impressive. However, in general, this monster is only suitable for sneak attacks and assassinations." Lin Huang mumbled to himself after killing a few Velocious Saber Demons. "Its attack power is alright, but its defense is too weak. Its overall ability is only average. If its first sneak attack fails and its whereabouts are exposed, it'll be easy for it to be killed by a melee powerhouse. "
However, the members of the hunting teams on the 21st checkpoint were afraid of this monster's sneak attacks and assassinations.
After killing six Velocious Saber Demons in an instant, the monster seemed to know that Lin Huang was not to be trifled with, so it dared not attack him anymore. Instead, it vented its anger on other humans. Many hunting teams were attacked by the Velocious Saber Demons, and some of them were killed one after another.
Unfortunately, Lin Huang's whip was not long enough, so he could not save them at all.
Seeing that a few of them were eliminated from the 21st checkpoint, and Zhao San and the rest were about to retreat, Lin Huang felt that it was time for him to show them what he was capable of.
"Lancelot, come out." Lin Huang waved his hand and summoned the Ruthless Sword Dominator Lancelot.
Lancelot was almost two meters tall in his dark red armor, and he exuded an ominous aura. A few of them who were more sensitive to killing intent seemed to have sensed the abnormality on Lin Huang's side, and they could not help but look at Lancelot.
"Kill as many of the bugs that have camouflage ability as you can. As for the rest, kill them if you want. If you don't want to kill them, leave them to the others," Lin Huang instructed.
Lancelot nodded slightly and turned around to look at the monster horde. He held the longsword in front of his chest with the tip of the sword facing up, and a low voice came out of his throat as if he was mumbling something. A moment later, the nine Sword Servants automatically formed in front of him, lined up in a row, and half-knelt before him.
"Kill!"
Lancelot's eyes under his helmet were glowing in a blue light, and he pointed his sword at the monster horde. As he gave the order, the nine sword servants stood up and formed a sword formation, charging at the monster horde.
