The might of Wolf's Teeth Hunt was not only known to the Iron Chariots, but even the wandering Insectoids in the wilderness would avoid the Black Wolf in the jeep.
Three hours later, Qi Yuan's group of five stopped the jeep not far from their destination.
Xiao Hei put on her tactical goggles and held two Radiant Dawns in her hands. She looked like she was itching to give it a try.
"I almost forgot to tell you that I've awakened Rank 2 Speed. Even without Chestnut's help, I can deal with the encirclement of Insectoids."
Qi Yuan shrugged. 'Your Rank 2 Speed can only be used to escape, but my Rank 1 Speed of Steel can be used to slaughter.
This is the real gap between us! '
Luan walked out of the jeep and looked at the underground cave hidden behind a rock.
"Chestnut, check the situation of the Insectoid Nest."
"Yes!"
Chestnut took out the Insectoid Detector and disappeared into the void. After a while, Chestnut walked out of Xiao Hei's shadow. He looked at the information on the Insectoid Detector and said in a low voice:
"Two Rank 3, ten Rank 2, and forty-three Rank 1."
Jia Tao's legs went weak when he heard the numbers from Chestnut. If the Sandworms were not taken into consideration, this Insectoid Nest was much more powerful than the previous one.
Although he was also a Rank 2 and had an energy weapon, he would only be cannon fodder in front of such a large group of Insectoids. With his strength, he could only hold back two Rank 1 Insectoids at most.
Luan frowned. Rank 1 and Rank 2 Insectoids were nothing to be afraid of, but Rank 3 Insectoids were a little troublesome. If there was a Sandworm monster hiding in there, it would be dangerous.
"Lure the Insectoids out first. If the Rank 3 Insectoid is a Sandworm, retreat first. If it's not a Sandworm …"
Luan looked at Qi Yuan and Xiao Hei.
"Chestnut and I will deal with one Rank 3 Insectoid each. The rest will be yours. Is that okay?"
"No problem." Qi Yuan smiled.
After Steel Speed made up for his lack of speed, there was not much of a difference between Rank 1 and Rank 2 Insectoids in front of him.
"Me too!" Xiao Hei said confidently.
Luan took out a grenade from the car and handed it to Chestnut.
"Let's set off some fireworks for the Zergs inside. Hopefully, not too many of them will die!"
Jia Tao looked at the bomb in Chestnut's hand and was speechless.
He recognized the origin of the bomb at a glance. It was the same as the bomb he had bought with all his money. It was a plasma bomb made by Master Qu.
The price of a plasma bomb made by Master Qu in the black market of Iron Chariots was 100,000!
Wolf's Teeth Hunt might be cheaper, but the price would definitely be in the tens of thousands.
It was no wonder that Wolf's Teeth Hunt was so expensive to hire!
The Luan shook her right hand, and the steel rose attached to her right hand instantly turned into an energy whip with blue electric arcs.
"Get ready for battle!"
Qi Yuan took Death Reaper from the back of the Iron Wolf and carried it with one hand on his shoulder.
Looking at Qi Yuan, Xiao Hei could not help but ask, "Aren't you going to look for a sniping spot?"
Although there were no good sniping spots nearby, it was better to go to the roof of the jeep than to shoot from here.
"No need to go through so much trouble!" Qi Yuan shook his head.
Only Jia Tao knew that Qi Yuan was already prepared to engage in close combat with the Insect Beasts.
It was faster to kill the Insectoid army with a sword than with a gun!
Xiao Hei did not waste any more time. She spun the Radiant Dawn with her fingers and silver runes lit up on the body of the gun.
Jia Tao was prepared to condense an energy weapon. After a fierce struggle, he finally took out a submachine gun from the back of the motorcycle.
He could not compete with these monsters. His life was more important.
After the others were ready for battle, Chestnut turned into a shadow again and disappeared. Twenty seconds later, a dazzling blue electric arc shot out from the entrance of the Insectoid's nest. The violent electric energy turned the area within a ten-meter radius into a lightning purgatory.
Even though they were thousands of meters away, they could still feel the powerful energy waves.
Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
Before the lightning disappeared, the Insectoids were roaring furiously. It was as if the ground was about to be overturned.
"The battle has begun!"
Qi Yuan casually said as he lowered the muzzle of his gun.
Boom!
The rumble of Death Reaping opened the curtains to the battle. The first Zerg that had luckily escaped from the Plasma Bomb and rushed out of the Zerg Nest had just revealed its charred head when it was shot in the head by Qi Yuan.
Scarlet blood and milky white brain matter fell like raindrops.
The gunshot attracted the attention of all the Insectoids.
The remaining Insectoids of different sizes roared as they rushed out of the nest. They then rushed toward Qi Yuan like a tidal wave.
There were no Sandworms!
Luan heaved a sigh of relief as she walked toward the Insectoids.
The two Rank 3 Insectoids survived. Although they were slightly injured, they were not severely injured. The plasma bomb only killed two Rank 2 Insectoids and a dozen Rank 1 Insectoids that were gathered at the entrance of the Insectoid's nest.
Chestnut turned into a shadow and disappeared. He had found his target.
Jia Tao's face was pale. However, looking at Qi Yuan's unmoving back, he seemed to have regained his courage as a Wild Hunter and aimed his muzzle at the Insectoid Horde.
Bang!
After another Rank 2 Insectoid was killed by Qi Yuan, Xiao Hei pulled the trigger and used the Radiant Dawn to reap the lives of the Insectoids.
The Radiant Dawn's energy beam was not weaker than Death Reaper in penetrating power. However, the wounds it left behind were not as terrifying as Death Reaper.
As long as the target was hit by Death Reaper, even if it did not hit a vital point, one shot would still destroy half of the body. Death Reaper, on the other hand, would only leave a deep black hole.
Xiao Hei's marksmanship was not bad, but he could not guarantee that every shot would hit a vital point. However, he relied on the rapid firing speed of the two Radiant Dawns to quickly overtake the Insectoids.
After Qi Yuan destroyed another Insectoid's head, Xiao Hei was preparing to use his Rank 2 speed to increase the distance between them. He wanted to use his advantage in speed to fight the Insectoids.
Xiao Hei wanted to see how Qi Yuan would deal with the Insectoid horde. However, he saw him put down Death Reaper.
Why did he throw his gun away?
"What, are you going to surrender?" Xiao Hei shouted.
Qi Yuan did not reply. However, Xiao Hei soon realized that he had guessed wrongly. Qi Yuan was not going to surrender. He was going to cheat!
Seeing Qi Yuan pull out the Butcher from his waist with his left hand and the Zhanmadao with his right hand, Xiao Hei could not help but ask.
"Aren't you a sniper?
What are you trying to do? "
Qi Yuan waved the Zhanmadao in his hand. The sharp sound of the Zhanmadao slicing through the air caused Xiao Hei's expression to change slightly. He had a bad premonition.
"Death Reaper is too slow to kill the Insectoids. I prefer this method of fighting!"
Qi Yuan grinned. Under Xiao Hei's dumbfounded gaze, he charged towards the Insectoid horde.
Bang!
Qi Yuan pulled the trigger. The Butcher exploded the head of a Insectoid. He then waved his Zhanmadao and charged into the Insectoid horde. Wherever he passed, the Insectoids would be splattered with blood and flesh. There was almost no one who could withstand his attack.
It was not the Insectoid horde that surrounded Qi Yuan. It was Qi Yuan who surrounded the Insectoid horde alone!
I knew it would be like this!
Jia Tao quietly put down his submachine gun and began to admire Qi Yuan's single-handedly slaughtering performance.
Xiao Hei's mouth was wide open. He watched Qi Yuan single-handedly block the Insectoid horde. For a moment, he forgot to continue attacking.
Wasn't he a sniper?
Why was he slashing with his sword?
This speed!
This strength!
This defense!
Killing Insectoids was as easy as chopping vegetables!
Rank 1 Insectoids were cut in half with one slash. Rank 2 Insectoids were also killed with one slash!
Was this the strength of a Rank 1 Hunter?
How many Combat Domain abilities did he awaken to have such terrifying close combat strength?
He could completely crush a Rank 2 Hunter. He was even stronger than some of the Rank 3 Hunters that he had seen before!
With such close combat strength, he actually pretended to be a sniper?
What was even more embarrassing was that he actually took the initiative to compete with him in killing Insectoids!
How could he compete with that!
This was practically cheating!
Xiao Hei watched Qi Yuan who was surrounded by the Insectoid horde as if he was in a no-man's land. He could not help but fall into deep self-doubt.
He was being crushed. He was being completely crushed by a Rank 1 Hunter who did not even have Mechanical Equipment!
Seeing the Insectoids being casually killed by Qi Yuan, Xiao Hei finally decided to step forward and target the Insectoids.
Although the activation speed of the Radiant Dawn was not as fast as Qi Yuan's killing speed, there was no suspense in this competition. However, Xiao Hei still hoped that he would not lose too badly.
After all, he was the one who took the initiative to propose this competition.
Luan, who was originally beating up the Rank 3 Insectoids, saw Qi Yuan cutting vegetables in the middle of the Insectoid horde and became confused.
Her movements were messed up and the Insectoids almost took the opportunity to escape.
Was Qi Yuan a sniper or an assaulter?
"Is our Insectoid detector broken?
Or is there something wrong with this Qi Yuan? "Chestnut's puzzled voice suddenly rang out in the tactical chat channel.
"I don't know either!"
Luan dealt with the Insectoids while saying, "I only know that Xiao Hei seems to be going into autism soon."
Chestnut looked at Xiao Hei's constipated expression and was slightly stunned. Then, a smile appeared on his face.
"Xiao Hei!
Xiao Hei!
How's the situation on your side?
Do you need backup? "Luan joked with a smile.
After a while, Xiao Hei gritted his teeth and said, "No need. I can snatch the Insectoids!"
Looking at the Insectoid's broken body scattered all over the ground, Luan suddenly smiled and shook her head. The lightning whip in her hand suddenly wrapped around the Insectoid's neck and suddenly released a blazing electric light. Violent energy seeped into the Insectoid's body and instantly paralyzed its limbs.
While the Insectoid was paralyzed, Luan shook her right hand and a silver metal bracelet suddenly rotated and disintegrated from her wrist. It turned into two semi-circular metal parts and flew toward the paralyzed Rank 3 Insectoid.
Ka-cha!
Ka-cha!
The semi-circular metal bracelets released a powerful energy and pulled each other together at the Insectoid's neck, turning into a silver bracelet that flashed with blue electric arcs.
Inside the bracelet, sharp metal spikes popped out and pierced through the Insectoid's skin and into its flesh.
Ka-cha!
The bracelet suddenly released an electric arc and the powerful electric current instantly paralyzed the Insectoid's body. Then, it convulsed and fell into a coma.
Xiao Hei controlled the shadows and bound the Insectoid layer by layer. It was as if it had turned into a black dumpling and suffocated to death.
After the two Rank 3 Insectoids had been dealt with, Luan and Chestnut stood to the side and admired Qi Yuan's performance of slaying the Insectoids.
Chestnut could not help but widen his mouth when he saw Qi Yuan dodge the attack of a Level-two Insect Beast and cut open its stomach with a backhand slash.
"Sister Luan, is he really a Rank 1?
His speed, strength, and defense seem to be much stronger than the Rank 2 Combat Domain that we've seen before! "
"No!" Luan lightly shook her head. As an experienced Rank 3 Insectoid, her eyesight was much sharper than Chestnut's.
"Although Qi Yuan's speed is fast, it's slightly slower than a Rank 2 Insectoid. Otherwise, that Rank 2 Insectoid's attack would not have landed on him."
"His strength is also slightly weaker than a Rank 2 Enhanced Strength. Look at his kick just now. A Rank 2 Enhanced Strength should be able to kick that Rank 1 Insectoid to death. There's no way it would be able to stand up again."
"As for defense, it's strength is not weaker than a Rank 2 Enhanced Defense. However, it's different from a normal Rank 2 Defense. Others' Enhanced Defense reduces physical damage, but his is obviously more extreme. It's like he's covered in a layer of hard iron. It doesn't look like a body of flesh and blood at all!"
"Look at those Rank 1 Insectoids' attacks. They can't even break through his defense. If it weren't for those Rank 2 Insectoids leaving wounds on his body, I would have thought that he's a Mechanic who has given up on his human body."
Chestnut looked at Qi Yuan's battle in a daze. Although Luan's words made sense, Qi Yuan's overbearing battle style was indeed stronger than any Rank 2 Insectoid he had seen before.
If there was anyone similar, he could only think of one person, and that was the Thunder Scorpion Hunters' captain — Scorpion!
He had multiple Rank 3 Combat Domain abilities, and his strength was on par with Captain Scorpion!
"The reason why Qi Yuan looks stronger than any other Rank 2 Combat Domain ability user you've seen before is because he doesn't seem to have any shortcomings. His strength, speed, and defense have all reached the threshold of Rank 2. When these abilities are combined, he can almost crush all Rank 2 Iron Chariots!"
Luan's tone carried a trace of undetectable emotion. In the Iron Chariots, she hadn't seen an Insectoid like Qi Yuan who didn't have any obvious shortcomings for a long time.
Even Scorpion and Scorpion might not be as strong as Qi Yuan when they were Rank 2.
If Qi Yuan was equipped with a suitable Mechanical Armament, even Luan herself wouldn't have absolute confidence in suppressing Qi Yuan in a head-on battle.
An expert from the Combat Domain whose body had been strengthened in all aspects without any shortcomings was an undeniable meat grinder in a head-on battle. Although Qi Yuan was only at the first level, he could already vaguely see this trend.
I wonder if his mental willpower is also as strong?
Luan silently thought.
Below Rank 4, Combat Domain ability users could crush all other abilities. That's why Qi Yuan, a Combat Domain ability user with no shortcomings in physical strength, could fight those of a higher rank.
However, this didn't mean that Combat Domain ability users were invincible.
The Mysterious Domain, which had almost no combat ability at the lower ranks, had several types of abilities that perfectly countered Combat Domain ability users.
Whether it was Charm Humans and Soul Enslavement, or Logic Maze and Twisted Will, they all directly affected the mental willpower level. If the mental willpower wasn't strong enough, even the strongest Combat Domain ability user could be controlled by these abilities.
If physical strength was the spear and shield of Combat Domain ability users in a head-on battle, then mental willpower was a hidden door that was hard to detect.
In the hands of certain Mysterious Domain ability users, they held the key to this hidden door.
This was the fatal weakness that all Combat Domain ability users couldn't avoid.
