In Fortuna, cultivators want underwear made from this fur, so they can even streak under the harsh subzero temperature of the cold Orb Vallis.
However, because the number of stupid Lycanthropes are rare and most are extremely vigilant, the price of humanoid lycan skin has always been high.
Guo Yufan did not expect that they would encounter a defenseless lycanthrope, and Fan Wuji did not expect it to go into a coma just after destroying his Eye of Kilrogg. Isn't this a windfall?
"Fan Wuji, I want to ask if the fur can be sold to me, and I will pay 1,000,000 creds." Guo Yufan said a little embarrassedly.
The price of 1,000,000 credits is a bit low for humanoid lycan fur, but it is indeed the only money he has now.
Fan Wuji shook his head: "Senior, we discovered the lycanthrope together. We each have one share. If you want it, I'll sell it to you for 500,000 credits."
If it weren't for Guo Yufan's protection, he would have died in the hands of the Huras nearing Crusader rank, so naturally he wouldn't monopolize the fur of this lycanthrope in humanoid form.
Guo Yufan said firmly: "You found this lycanthrope, I can't take your things in vain, and if you sell it to me at the price of 1,000,000 creds, you have already suffered a loss, and I cannot stomach taking more advantage of you."
Looking at Guo Yufan's determined eyes, Fan Wuji said helplessly, "Alright then."
"By the way, senior, can you let me kill it?"
Fan Wuji asked with some anticipation, in normal times, he is naturally not the opponent of this lycanthrope, but it is in a coma now, and he still has Ragnaros and Abathur to support him. In this case, Wuji thinks killing it is not impossible anymore.
I don't know how much experience he can gain by killing a monster of this rank?
"Okay, I'll leave it to you."
Guo Yufan said cheerfully.
He could see that the lycanthrope was on the verge of death, and it has only the last breath left. Even an ordinary person could kill it, provided he can break through its terrible defenses.
Wuji waved at Ragnaros to stop first.
Ragnaros immediately understood what Wuji meant, to wait for the opportune moment. Meanwhile, Wuji himself prepared all the things they need to kill this monster. He first needs to choose the card which he thinks would be the perfect for Abathur's current role in the team.
Pressurized Glands (Level 1)Abathur
Increases the range of Symbiote's Spike Burst by 25% and decreases the cooldown by 1 second.
Envenomed Nest (Level 1)Abathur
Toxic Nests deal 75% more damage over 3 seconds and reduce the Armor of enemy Heroes hit by 10 for 4 seconds.
Reinforced Carapace (Level 1)Abathur
Increase the Shield amount of Carapace by 40%.
Survival Instincts (Level 1)Abathur
Increases Locust's Health by 100% and damage by 60%.
There are currently three roles Abathur can excel on. One is increasing the direct fighting ability of Wuji by picking the card that empowers Symbiote. Second is area control by picking the card that empowers Toxic nests. The third is empowering Abathur's direct offensive ability by picking Locust cards, the locusts will crawl out from beast guarding space to attack the enemy.
In order to empower his strengths, Wuji finally chose the Pressurized glans card. Strengthening Abathur's symbiote ability in order to make Wuji's combat ability even better in close range. Currently, the combination of Ragnaros speed buff, Cho's survivability, Gall's damage and Abathur's symbiote means that they have a super breakthrough team. Meeting Wuji with Cho'Gall's advantages, Abathur's symbiote, Ragnaros' blasts wave on a narrow road is a death sentence for the unlucky bastard of same rank.
Now we return to the comatosed Lycanthrope. First off, Abathur layered 11 mines of toxic nests beside the poor Lycanthrope, then used Symbiote on Wuji while Ragnaros used Blast wave on him too. Wuji himself gathered and threw a rune bomb, and went forward with Surging fist in order to push back the Lycanthrope into Abathur's toxic nests. Abathur is no slouch either, for after he used symbiote on Wuji, he used Spike burst and used all two charges of Stab into the poor monster. Ragnaros also dropped living meteor on it, and hit the unconscious Lycan with two rapid, powerful strikes of Sulfuras. Finally, Wuji used Runic blast, Consuming Blaze and Shadowflame for good measure.
The different sources of damage superimposed and before its death, the Lycanthrope suddenly opened its eyes wide, its body convulsed violently, and panic and despair appeared in its eyes.
But it was too weak after all, and after the simultaneous attacks broke its defense, it finally lost its life.
Just like that, after a few seconds, the lycanthrope's eyes completely lost their lustre.
Fan Wuji stared at the team's experience points, and at the moment when the lycanthrope died, their team experience jumped by a huge amount.
"(Ahh, it went only up by 60%.)"
Wuji was a little surprised. He thought that an injured monster of that rank will be able to promote the rank by one or even more.
It is estimated that because the monster was seriously injured, the experience value did not increase too much.
But it's not a big problem. Now it's only 20% away from ranking up, which saves a little time for the team. You have to remember, all of them will rank up at the same time.
And this is also good. After all, Ragnaros has already showed the cultivation of rank 4 black iron. If he is promoted to another rank now, it will definitely arouse suspicion from others. Since nobody else from Xiguang's current awakened batch ranked up to 4 black iron, meaning he, Fan Wuji is by far the fastest.
Fan Wuji decided that he had to act cautiously next, and it was good enough to rank up again before the start of the next school year.
After the lycanthrope died, the Guo Yufan carefully removed the fur from its body. Sure enough, the lycan's humanoid skin is really coarse but flexible, and could be turned into good leather.
Fan Wuji was also squatting down and was touching the Lycanthrope to get essence for Abathur to experiment. "Design must be simple, elegant. Implementation... less so."
Abathur absorbed the Lycan's essence and Fan Wuji's team experience increased by almost 20%, and he's only a smidgen of experience away from ranking up. Now, Fan Wuji's plans of ranking up to black iron 3 in one more month just advanced to anytime soon. Meanwhile, the mastery levels of Wuji and Deathwing went up to level 7, Ragnaros' went up to 5, while Abathur's rised from 1 to 7. Giving Wuji a total of 2 rare chests, and 10 common chests.
Ragnaros, Wuji and Abathur's went up because they assisted in killing the Lycanthrope. Abathur also got the Kubrow and Lycan essences, boosting him up by a few more levels while Deathwing's increased just because he finally woke up and remembered some things while he was stuck in the Dark Nexus.
When Guo Yufan finished skinning the Lycanthrope, he carefully cleaned the bloodstains on the fur with the water bottle he brought.
"Give me these fur, and I'll transfer 1,000,000 to you after we return."
Guo Yufan had a smile on his face. He didn't expect such a reward after a mission. It was a total surprise.
He had already thought about the purpose of leather, and half of it was given to the mentor who took great care of him. It was said that the mentor's mother had an accident that made her lose all her cultivation, so she is suffering from rheumatism from extreme cold all year round.
Even if the instructor invited many doctors, cultivators and summoners' soulbeasts with healing abilities, they still couldn't cure this problem.
Thankfully, clothes made from these leather can relieve rheumatism from extreme cold very well. This has been verified by someone. If he gave this to his mentor, he must be very happy.
Give the other one to his girlfriend.
It's the four-year anniversary of the two of them soon. This gift is definitely a big surprise.
Fan Wuji nodded cheerfully: "Senior, take it first."
After contacting him in the past few days, he also has a certain understanding of Guo Yufan. He is a gentle and very principled senior. He believes that the other party will not steal his money.
Guo Yufan smiled gently, and he was very relieved to see Fan Wuji feel so assured of him.
In these two days, he also evaluated his team members. Among them, Wuji's performance made him the most satisfied. Whether it was personal combat ability, knowledge reserve or strength of soul beasts, he was firmly ranked first among the others. Such a talent is very likely to become a good expert in the future.
Guo Yufan swiped his left hand, the furs disappeared from Wuji's eyes.
"What is this? Space equipment?"
Fan Wuji asked in surprise.
Guo Yufan pointed to the segment on his left hand, "This is called the arsenal segment. This is connected to my personal orbiter and allows easy storage of all the resources I have gathered."
Arsenal segment, so miraculous.
Fan Wuji stared at Guo Yufan's arsenal and scrutinized it carefully, his eyes were full of curiosity and longing.
This is a storage equipment that is necessary for people who go out and kill monsters.
Guo Yufan smiled: "Don't look at it too much, when you register to the Cultivator Association and completed enough missions, you can also exchange for an arsenal segment."
Fan Wuji nodded heavily. Originally, before gaining this power, he made a small goal to join the Cultivator Association after high school, the time when he should have started cultivating, but now he has another more important reason to register in the Cultivator Association. To get this arsenal segment earlier of course.
"But senior, where did this segment come from?"
Why has he never heard of such a miraculous thing, even his father never mentioned it.
Guo Yufan shrugged: "I don't know too well, it seems that it must have been researched by the experts only these past few years."
"Ok."
Seeing that Guo Yufan didn't know about it, Wuji didn't ask any further questions.
"Let's go back."
Although there was Yu Kong guarding over there, Guo Yufan was still a little uneasy in his heart, after all, that monkey's character is really naughty and a little out of tune.
He now regrets it a little, and should have left Feng Fan guard those junior brothers and sisters.
~deafening music broadcasts across the wilderness~
"Fuck, that's the emergency signal!"
The loud, amplified music came from the outpost.
Fan Wuji and Guo Yufan turned their heads to look, their brows furrowed at the same time. Guo Yufan also can't help but sing loudly to the tune as they rushed back to their team.
"COME AROUND AND TALK IT OVER, SO MANY THINGS THAT I WANNA SAY, YOU KNOW I LIKE MY GIRLS JUST A LITTLE BIT OLDER!"
"I JUST WANNA USE YOUR LOVE, TONIIIGHT!"
"I DONT WANNA LOSE YOUR LOVE, TONIIIIIGHT!"
"ROAAAAR!!! (I DONT WANNA LOSE YOUR LOVE, TONIIIIIGHT!)"
The two returned to where they left the team. There, one ape is also roaring like it is also trying to sing. Fan Wuji and the rest of the team looked incapable of holding their laugh as they found Guo Yufan and his soulbeast singing to the same tune. Turns out the soulbeast also liked the preferences of the summoner's. But enough of that. Loud music blaring in the wilderness is a sign of emergency from the outpost and bases. It calls for all relevant people and people in all surrounding areas to respond to the call and go to the nearest outpost immediately. The music is a composed somachord from a special cultivation manual called the Octavia training manual. Normally, the music is not this loud, but due to another special cultivation manual, called the Banshee training manual, the music can be amplified to reach a very wide area. With these two cultivators working hand in hand, big outposts can easily call their personnel to gather at once.
The team met another group during the return back and in order to speed things up, Guo Yufan summoned Feng Fan who supported everybody with wind ability to rush things up. They easily returned back to the base within one hour and Guo Yufan and the team leader of the other team immediately reported to the station commander while they left the students to stay in one place so as to avoid confusion. Currently, there are about almost 150 students in the area, with 200 or more not accounted for.
When Guo Yufan returned back, his face was ugly as he spoke. "Damn, fucking border security! They let a goddamn beast horde inside and Yan Feiyu has'nt even returned yet. I intend to go out and find her. You guys stay here and everybody, I hope you can take care of each other, I think the beast horde this time is'nt simple."
He said those words, then left, before Wuji can even say...
"Whaa.. umm. Yes, I guess."
Wuji said. The others were too silent as they still have'nt understood their situation. Until...
"Mommmy! Of all the times, why does it have to be us? A few days ago, nothing happened to class 8. Even before that, class 25 has not even met any monster. Why? Why? Why?"
Said a fat kid, whom Fan Wuji remembered to have a humanoid shadow beast. The fat kid is called Xu Xingliang, and he is getting more and more stressed with every moment that passes. His friend Xiao Yao is beside him, comforting him by telling that everything will be alright. Xiaoyao, Wuji remembers, seems to have a variation of Uncaged Wroth beast, a soulbeast with wolflike features.
The group continued staying on the area, and they saw other groups arrive there, with their team leaders going off to report to the station commander.
The atmosphere was extremely oppressive all around, only the faint sunlight from the artificial Sundisc in the sky brought a hint of brightness.
"Ragnaros, you are responsible for protecting these guys," Fan Wuji said as he walked to someone who looks responsible, for he has found what seems to be a congregation of monsters with the eye of Kilrogg.
After hearing the order, the lil Ragnaros shouted, "YOU CALLED, LITTLE CHILDREN... AND THE FIRELORD HAS ANSWERED!" then turned around and dragged his little volcano on the ground to the front of the team.
"That soul beast is so special. It looks like a little lava monster. By the way, what's its name?" Xiao Yao said curiously at this time. For Xu Xingliang has finally calmed down.
Zhao Yang replied casually: "Fan Wuji calls it Ragnaros, its a new type, called the firelord."
"Firelord? What a strange name. It's the first time I heard of a such a soul beast." Xiao Yao smiled as he spoke again.
This made Zhao Yang laugh in pride, as if Fan Wuji's soulbeast is also hers: "That's necessary, our Ragnaros is not ordinary."
Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.
"Huh? How unusual?" Xiao Yao was a little curious.
At this moment, Zhao Yang raised her mouth and said with a wicked smile, "Because it's 'big'."
"???"
"??????"
Hearing this, not only Xiao Yao was stunned, but even the few classmates beside her unconsciously flashed a row of question marks on their foreheads.
But think about it, yes.
That must be sarcasm, for this soulbeast is really 'big'.
"It seems to be here, Yan Feiyu should have went here." A silver level summoner with Wroth beast went with Guo Yufan said. He picked up the map and looked at it.
Another silver level summoner was in charge of alerting, cautiously watching the nearby surroundings.
"Are you sure their group was here last?"
"Yes, right here." The summoner retracted the map and said with more certainty.
Hearing this, Guo Yufan held the Soma and said solemnly, "Did your Wroth beast smell something else?"
"Ok?! It also smelled something foul, something eery."
After he finished speaking, the summoner responsible for alerting turned to his colleagues and said, "Guo Yufan, let's turn back, quickly! I've found a trace of the Hydrangea, this should be the leftover cuts of the Blade of the Ruined King . We need to inform the station commander as fast as possible."
"Damn it! Yan Feiyu! I hope she's alright. Let's go back!"
The militant group of people in the base took out and set up their equipment around themselves, looking quite professional.
Fan Wuji looked bored and observed their actions, not understanding anything at all.
After all, there is a specialization in each industry, and he is merely a student, how can he know anything in the field of military yet?
"Do you want to join the military, boy, to better protect your families' safety?" Fan Wuji retracted his curious gaze, and then looked around again. He saw that the man who spoke just now was a strict looking military personnel. He saw somebody once called him the station commander, so Fan Wuji tried his best to imitate what he saw the soldiers do when meeting this guy.
"Haha, at ease, soldier!"
But at this moment, the man suddenly trembled slightly.
Wuji also heard the strange noise nearby.
"Awooo~"
"Orcs will never be slaves!"
"Human skooom!"
The howls of the Kubrow and guttural shouts from the orcs feels like they are going to attack.
Nearly an hour has passed since Guo Yufan and team left and the commotion was around the base's line of sight.
It is now surrounded by lots of monsters.
"Station commander, those silver ranks that came out to search for somebody came back with new important information."
The station commander frowned: "New information, could it be the beast tide has a different goal?"
After he said this, some soldier with good eyesight atop the battlements suddenly shouted, "It's a Pawn ranked level 4 horde! I can confirm tusk clan, lycan clan, axe orcs, and juggernaut orcs."
Hearing this, the station commander turned around and ran to the headquarters without saying more words.
"What's wrong?"
Fan Wuji ask another soldier beside him, the soldier's eyes are nervous, and cold sweat is dripping from his forehead unconsciously.
Pointing forward with slightly trembling fingers: "It means one thing kid, the enemy is durable enough to assault us head on. Orc clans like to compete with each other and they would promote the healthy tonnage exchange between their clans in the horde, beast clans arouse the ferocity and power of all monsters in the horde and finally, all of those monsters are warring species, and they have very thick skin due to competing with each other all the time. Nevermind that it is just a pawn horde, the highest ranking fighter they can have is still crusader."
Hearing that, Fan Wuji also looked in the direction the other party pointed.
Seeing this, his pupils shrank instantly.
"Oh my God!"
I saw that there were hundreds of soul beasts arrayed around the outpost!
There were orcs, walruses, lycans, kubrows, and their numbers are over a thousand!
It was densely packed and stuffy, making people feel like they were looking at a can of sardines.
"What are these things?" Fan Wuji didn't react for a while.
【Paddlemaker3000's horde】
【Level: 4】
[Avatar: Piggy Girl]
[Rank: Pawn]
[Synergy:
2 orc | Max tonnage increased by 200 for all friendly orcs.
3 warrior | Armor increased by 5 for all friendly warriors.
2 beast | attack damage increased by 10% for all allies- ]
All the people in the camp looked frightened when they saw the sizable monster army, the most terrified of which is Fan Wuji, or rather Abathur.
After the introduction of the monster tide given by Abathur, he told Fan Wuji again. "Untenable to oppose."
Don't even mention how horrified Abathur is now. As the evolution master of the zerg, he has firsthand experience in commanding a numerically superior army to charge a numerically inferior one. But this is the opposite of what he is accustomed to, for he is now the defending end with the numerically inferior force:
The only saving grace is that Abathur saw that the horde does not seem have 3 star soldiers. The strongest troops are only 2 stars, which is only herald rank! A beast tide has six danger ranks and they have three types of monsters in their horde. 1 star ordinary troops, 2 star elite troops and 3 star chieftain troops. Normally, the 1 star troops in the lowest danger rank pawn are herald ranks while the 1 star troops in the next danger rank knight are all guardians. The knight danger rank is undeniably harder to fight since guardian ranks in the pawn rank are only 2 star troops, while in knight ranked hordes, guardian ranks constitute most of the army.
"Mister, what should we students do now? Run?" Fan Wuji asked the soldier this time.
Like a group of frightened birds, any disturbance can make these classmates of his startled.
The soldier shook his head: "You don't have to run, we can still handle these monsters, you continue to stay put for further instructions."
Hearing what he said, Fan Wuji nodded and went back to his team. Not long after, an announcement can be heard all over the outpost.
"Attention all hands, attention all hands, assume combat positions. Use penetrating weapons, I repeat, assume combat positions. Use penetrating weapons."
"Wuji, why have you only returned now, are you flirting with a girl somewhere?"
Zhao Yang said upon spotting Wuji, who has been missing for about an hour already.
He turned his head and said while smiling wryly: "Let me tell you that we will soon be attacked by a monster horde."
Zhao Yang's body froze, and she said with a forced smile, "Monster horde? Wuji, are you kidding me?"
Before Wuji can justify himself, Xiao Yao who had been befriending Wuji's team also asked:
"Wuji, right? Is there a monster horde in the inner wilderness of Earth Prime? What is the intensity?"
Wuji gave a suspicious look at Xiao Yao and said:
"Don't worry, the predicted level of this horde is Level 4 size with Pawn rank. I'm just telling you guys. There are still no problems in the military side. We just might have to stay put for now."
"Senior Guo and the others?"
Xiao Yao said in surprise, "Is our senior here too?"
Fan Wuji nodded: "That's right, I heard Senior Guo and the others arrived a few minutes ago, and he proceeded to the headquarters first. Still has'nt come out yet."
"Senior Guo is here."
Hearing that Guo Yufan was already here, Zhao Yang felt relieved.
As an untrained summoner, she is not as aware of the monster horde's real strength, but she can still hope that the power of the silver rank summoners that accompanied them is enough to solve the current predicament.
The return of Senior Guo also is very good. He was the most powerful silver rank among the accompanying team leaders. With him here, this horde will not gain an advantage in high end power.
"Hold fire."
The sound reverberated from the banshee cultivator, the cultivator responsible for relaying the orders of the military headquarters, which is not far ahead from the students gathering area.
Suddenly, a black mist surrounded the fortress from all sides and covered the monster horde directly.
The soldiers inside the base seemed to be greatly stimulated. They knew the black mist and it was the sign of the Hydrangea rebels.
But no matter where it came from, it does not changed the fact that these Hydrangea are also humans, albeit traitors colluding with monsters, so this black mist was like a gangrene infection of the bone, a disgrace to the glorious history of humanity.
Fan Wuji went near to Ragnaros and said to his classmates, "Classmates, this is the black mist of Harrowing from the Ruined King, take care of your soulbeasts, everything will be alright."
Sure enough, after a few seconds, entities suddenly appeared from the mist. They were the soulbeasts that were imprisoned by the ruined kings of Hydrangea.
"Is this the corrupted soulbeasts?"
Fan Wuji's eyes flashed with deep surprise. He is now back in the battlements. This was the first time he saw the Harrowing.

"Okay, so the first wave will be the corrupted soul beasts. Color me surprised."
The officer was nonchalant as the information of Hydrangea was already disseminated to everyone in the outpost, although only recently.
The soldier turned his head to look at the officer beside him for orders, "Give me a break, fire at your own time."
Yes!
After the soldier saluted, he quickly turned to his post and aimed at his own overwatch.
At this time, Fan Wuji was thankful for the hard defenses under his feet.
The entire outpost is made of the most solid grineer ferrite and covered with a thick layer of grinner class steel alloy . The entire fortress has a perimeter of more than a thousand meters.
On the first line of defense are automated Grineer defense turrets and rolling balls called rollers which don't need any human intervention to control. The second line of defense are troops hiding on inflatable black barricades called blunts and other types of cover. The third line of defense are defensive emplacements called Ramparts that were manned by a soldier every twenty meters along the battlements, and there are soldiers beside them for swapping. Beside each group of soldiers are regulators which broadcast propaganda.
The higher ups in the military are hopeful that regulators will give the nearby military troops in its range a morale increase, a speed buff, and disrupt the unscientific targetting ability of some monsters and soulbeasts.
"It's about to start." The soldier said lightly.
Fan Wuji stood with another two soldiers, the two of them were beside a rampart and one soldier was currently manning the gun while they were looking into the distance.
~dong dong dong dong~
The ground shook, and the footsteps of the horde were like a dense drumbeat.
In the distance, from the endless black mist quickly appeared an uncountable number of soulbeasts, pressing towards the fortress, and Fan Wuji can only see a sea of green crowns.
The cultivators cultivating the Volt manual soon erected an electric barrier in front of them.
Soon, tens of electrified rockets soared into the air and plunged into the tide of soulbeasts.
Boom~ boom~
The violent explosion blasted out dozens of soulbeasts in the horde, the ground shook violently, and gunpowder smoke billowed everywhere, but in the blink of an eye, the gaps were filled by the soulbeasts behind.
This batch of rockets from the Ogryn armed heavy infantry did not slow down the speed of the soulbeast vanguard at all.
Slowly, the sea of soulbeasts got closer and closer, and Wuji could see the true face of the soulbeasts clearly.,
Warshadows, Cantankerous Cavaliers, Iron Mares and Stallions, Wrathful Boars of Winter...
These vanguard monsters rushed forward desperately, most of them were black iron and bronze, but there were few silvers in the mix.
"Fire at will!"
The loud broadcast sounded, and a sky-shattering bullet storm erupted from the steel fortress.
dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka~
Thousands of electrified bullets were shot forward, and the charging cavaliers were temporarily stopped by the firepower.
Under such a density of enemies, bullets do not need to be aimed, and they can hit the enemy with any shot.
roar~roar~roar~roar~roar~roar~roar~roar~roar~roar~roar~roar~roar~roar~roar~roar~
The tragic roar of the soulbeasts sounded on the battlefield, but this roar only aroused the killing intent of the other corrupted soulbeasts and monster clans behind.
dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka~
The powerful recoil from the mass production gun made each soldier's body shake violently. After two minutes, the shooter was relieved by the soldier behind him, the one who was was responsible for setting up the electric shield.
"Wow, cool~"
Seeing the big, loud killers in front of him wantonly harvesting the lives of soulbeasts, Fan Wuji couldn't help but sigh. Technically, corrupted soulbeasts will never die, but seeing them fall like flies in front of him showed him how powerful humans have really gone into technology.
"Hey, are you interested? Would you like to go up and try it?"
Seeing Wuji's longing expression, the officer smiled. He has came back from the other posts and saw that Wuji seemed to be a cultivator.
"Can I?"
Wuji's eyes widened, and there was a strong surprise in his eyes.
Firearms are the dream of every boy, especially such a big killer like the rampart. Who doesn't want to experience it with their own hands?
The officer smiled slightly, turned his head to look at the relieving soldier: "Old Li, the child wants to play a few times, is it okay?"
"No problem."
The soldier waved his hand.
It's just machine gun shooting, it's the same for every cultivator, and it doesn't require accuracy anyway.
Besides, this kid looks came so far just to help out, so face still needs to be given.
"The next rotation, it will be your turn." The officer told Wuji.
After a while, Wuji took over immediately when the body of the gunman needs to rest.
"Aim at whatever enemy you see, just pull the trigger."
The soldier said beside him.
"Okay~"
Wuji shouted excitedly, imitating the soldiers around him when they bend their knees slightly, and pulling the trigger on both hands and gripping the handles tightly with their two palms.
dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka~
A series of bullets flew out from the muzzle, with a range of nearly 1,000 meters, affecting the horde like wind blowing duckweed.
In the beginning, the powerful recoil was unnoticed by Wuji. His cultivation also ranked up to Black iron 3, making him hear a loud ding sound. Fortunately, he controlled his body in time, and the hand holding the gun relaxed as Wuji as his strength increased by not a small amount.
"Cool!"
Fan Wuji roared loudly while turnng the machine gun, and swept away the enemies in a semicircle.
Exp + 1, + 2, + 1, + 3....
"Grass mud horse, this also gives experience?"
Fan Wuji was overjoyed, he did know that when he killed the enemy with his own hands, the team would also get experience points, just like the last time he killed the kubrow, but he didn't expect that using a gun to kill monsters this time would also generate experience points.
In this case……
"Hopefully, I can reach the black iron 2 as soon as possible!"
A flush appeared on Wuji's face, and the finger that pulled the trigger became harder.
dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka~
The furious bullets swept away frantically.
"Does his stamina last so long?"
Seeing Wuji still shooting with excitement on his face, the soldier couldn't help rubbing his aching wrist, thinking to himself.
Every 2 minutes of shooting, he needs to rest. The strong recoil from shooting the Grinner class rampart gun made his wrists hurt and his head was a little dizzy.
Compared with Wuji who is just student, is his strength from the Volt training manual not up to par? True, the Volt training manual is not known for great strength but their strength as cultivators is pretty much baseline for average.
"Sir, is this normal?"
The soldier stood beside the officer who returned yet again, complaining.
Cultivators who have undergone training can use this Rampart class machine gun for about 10 minutes continuously, but they will be drained after that. So black iron rank cultivators with one refinements generally swap with each other every 2 to 3 minutes, and Wuji has been holding on for almost twenty minutes. This physical fitness is really amazing.
The officer said lightly, "It's okay, this reminds me of the style I used to have."
~bragging again~
The soldier cursed in his heart.
"(How could your flowery fists officer be so powerful back then?)"
"Hoo~"
Wuji took a deep breath, never letting go of the trigger, and ignoring the strain of the recoil as his team level is slowly but surely nearing Black iron 2.
In fact, if his marksmanship was more accurate, he could level up earlier, but he was helpless as the soulbeasts from the back are slow and and are moving forward in a scattered manner, so his killing efficiency was greatly reduced later.
But this does not affect Wuji's excitement at the moment. He has decided that when he returns to Xiguang, he will go to the training field as soon as possible to help accustom himself through his newfound strength and cards. He remembered that upon reaching black iron 2, everyone in the team will have another card to choose from.
"(What will be the second cards for everybody?)"
(~Looking forward to it~)
After thousands of bullets were fired, and finally, a loud level up ding sounded in Wuji's ears.
Wuji stepped back upon reaching black iron 2, and the soldier behind him quickly took over.
"How do you feel?" The officer asked with a smile.
"It's so cool!"
Xiao Yao still had an excited aftertaste on his face. On the one hand, it was really cool to shoot, and on the other hand, it was naturally because of his team's upcoming second cards.
"Just have fun."
The officer turned his gaze into the distance, and said with a serious expression, "Old Li, it looks like a tough fight is coming."
…………
dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka dakka~
The bullet storm petered out, leaving a carpet of green and black corrupted mana on the battlefield.
The corrupted soulbeast tide maybe spent, but they have also destroyed the first defensive line of automated rollers and defense turrets. There is still a second group of tough, durable monsters who have not been used yet, and also the traitorous human cultivators which will soon be appearing, probably after this horde. The second defense line has now impacted with the remaining corrupted soulbeasts. Sooner or later, everyone will soon be fighting for their lives as the second defense and third defense line is only separated by the battlements. Its height can be easily scaled by those traitorous humans practicing either the Nekros or Inaros training manuals.
roar~
The monster horde has already arrived at the second line of defense. Their scarlet eyes reveal brutality and cruelty.
Bang~
Bang~
At this moment, big soldiers carrying Gorgon machine guns suddenly jumped below the battlements.
From their rotating machine gun barrels emerged one bullet after another, and with the sound of crackling gunfire, tens of monsters were killed as hundreds were pushed back at the same time. Buying time for the soldiers outside the battlements to retreat back inside.
These gunners stared icyly, as motionless as sculptures, while shooting their heavy guns against the incoming enemy legion.
At this moment, a clear windy sound suddenly came from the monster side.
A fast shadow came to the front. There, appeared an orc with a giant blade, prominently displaying himself for everyone to see. Before it even got close, everyone already felt terrified.
[Name of Monster] Juggernaut
[Monster Rank] 2 star Crusader
[Monster Skills] Blade Fury, Healing Ward, Blade Dance, Omnislash, penta omnistat
[Monster Treasures] Battle Fury
At the same time as the orc arrived, there were several sky-shattering whirlwinds in the distance. The juggernaut orc whirled his blade with great skill as he kept deflecting the projectiles, preventing the horde from taking more casualties.
A hundred orcs with blades followed the Crusader ranked orc's example and used their blade fury skill to deflect all the bullets.
"Crusader?"
The officed frowned slightly: "Leave this to the station commander to worry about."
Fan Wuji saw the man he saluted back then. He saw him appear in the battlements. The look in his eyes is very solemn.
The station commander is a gold-ranked summoner. He also wields the one of the best firearms in this outpost, a Prisma Grakata with 4 refinements.
"Get ready!"
The summoner waved his hand, and two huge figures suddenly appeared.
roar~
Ow~
A sturdy red tiger suddenly appeared. It had phoenix wings on its back and flew in the air. Blue thunder and lightning lingered on it. Its fierce eyes flashed with murderous intent, and the tiger stripes made it look majestic and domineering.
[Name of the beast] Animal Spirit (Tiger Phoenix)
[Soul Beast Rank] Gold 4
[Soul Beast Skills] Monkey's Agility, Tiger Stance (mastered), Phoenix Stance (mastered), Bear Stance, Turtle Stance (novice)
[Soul beast Treasures] Turbo Chemtank
On the other side, a strong armored chimpanzee standing one legged on a staff was flexing his athleticism and roaring. He was 4 meters tall, his limbs were terrifyingly thick, his muscles were bulging, his face had terrible black lines, and his eyes were red and chilling.
[Name of Soul Beast] Vajra Ape
[Soul Beast Rank] Gold 3
[Soul Beast Skills] Stone Skin, Crushing Blow, Warrior Trickster, Nimbus Stick
[Soul beast Treasures] Divine Sunderer
"The Crusader ranked Juggernaut will be left to you two."
The station commander said solemnly to his warbeasts.
Roar~
Hoo hoo~
The two beasts roared excitedly.
After holding back for so long, they finally have someone to fight.
Meanwhile, Fan Wuji excused himself from the battlements. He planned to update the cards of his soulbeasts, while also gathering with his classmates in order to prepare for the worst, just in case.
