Chapter 1438: Chapter 1438

"Waste, once you’ve outlived your usefulness, you’ll be slaughtered," Dantai knew well what Bai Guoqiang was thinking, he just didn’t spell it out.

The atmosphere grew somewhat stiff. Bai Guo wanted to ease it, but didn’t know what to say. She was , unable to hide her feelings, plainly showing her disdain for Bai Guoqiang on her face.

"Let’s go, there’s nothing to see here. Apart from our team, there aren’t many who treat newbies kindly," Dantai stated common sense. Each team had a different view of newbies. Some viewed them as cannon fodder—that was the main trend—while others saw them as ladder team members to be nurtured, though they were rare. After all, people’s thoughts change as their power increases, and no one can guarantee that they will remember and repay the kindness once they’ve gained strength.

Of course, there were also some peculiar teams that completely disregarded the lives of the newbies, treating them as playthings and abusing them at will. Li Zheng’s team was such.

Wang Fang actually wanted to help the newbies, sadly, no one supported her. The only thing she could do was prevent Baldy and those guys from raping the female newbies, offering the newbies one last shred of dignity.

"That’s right, our team is the best!" Five newbies nodded in agreement, partly to compliment Dantai, and partly because they genuinely felt it.

The other four echoed the sentiment. Before, they had complained about their team, but having witnessed Baldy’s brutality, they now cherished their current environment.

Being scouts was definitely better than being beaten to death. Looking at the white-collar men—they were living lives worse than stray dogs.

"Hey, you guys seem to be in the same team as me." Bai Guoqiang’s words made the smiles of the five newbies freeze.

The morale of Li Zheng’s team had hit rock bottom. Two of the badly injured newbies lay in pools of blood, a sorrowful scene. The newbies dared not tend to them, fearing reprisal from Baldy.

Trojan Squad was slowly retreating. The Conquerors moved silently, like ghostly cats, but the newbies were clumsy, rustling the fallen leaves underfoot as they stepped.

"Keep it down." An irritated Bai Guoqiang growled, "You want to get us killed?"

"From this distance, they shouldn’t hear us, right?" The newbies murmured in disbelief, thinking Bai Guoqiang was overreacting. They were nearly a hundred meters away from the others. It wasn’t like their enemies had superhuman hearing; they needed to use a telescope just to observe them closely.

"Better safe than sorry." Bai Guoqiang gestured for silence after he had seen Li Zheng’s cruelty and preferred not to walk with them.

Li Zheng suddenly looked up, staring in the direction of Trojan Squad.

"What’s wrong?" Wang Fang noticed her boyfriend’s odd behavior; other Conquerors did the same.

"We’ve got company." Li Zheng got up, and a semi-transparent sphere shot out from behind him, zipping towards Dantai’s direction like lightning.

"We’ve been spotted." Dantai, a psychic-type, was very sensitive and looked up to see the sphere. An eye that nearly filled half the sphere split open, moving erratically, searching for the enemy.

"You guys pull back." Dantai was readying a psychic storm to take down the sphere, but it suddenly turned back toward Li Zheng.

Bai Guoqiang didn’t need to see to know something was wrong. A hundred meters away, Li Zheng’s team burst into chaos. Hundreds of newbies, as if they had seen a ghost, rose en masse to dodge.

A blue light column shot down from the sky, a mere ten or so meters away, and quietly hovered above the ground, three meters tall. Suddenly, it expanded to the sides, forming a square doorway. The energy within it surged chaotically, like blue fireflies, quite beautiful.

"What is that?" The newbies whispered to each other.

"A teleportation gate?" Baldy cracked his knuckles with a snap.

"Prepare for combat!" Wang Fang shouted to the newbies, advising them to be careful.

They didn’t have to wait long. A few seconds later, a thick arm large enough to be embraced by a person reached out from the teleportation gate, grabbing hold of the frame. Then, an ugly head protruded out.

The newbies, too scared to scream, turned and ran.

The Monster that emerged had red skin and a canine-like face with bloodstained mane at the temples. It had fangs protruding out over its lip and two spiraled horns atop its head.

Thud, the Demon’s legs, comparable to Roman stone pillars, stepped out of the teleportation gate, the ground quaking as if trembling, and it roared as its hulking body squeezed out.

If they had been natives, they would recognize it as a higher Demon known as a Bloodthirsty Demon, the most loyal and valiant servants of the Blood God. Fearless and craving blood, they relished combat and were among the most troublesome and terrifying enemies.

Growl! The Bloodthirsty Demon roared, its three-meter long bronze battleaxe as light as a toothpick in its grasp, flung forward.

The battleaxe whirled, splitting nearly ten newbies’ bodies along its path, leaving behind blood and viscera.

"What do we do? Fight or retreat?" Eye Patch squinted, assessing the demon.

Like a breached dam, more and more Bloodthirsty Demons surged out, unfolding their bat-wing shaped wings, and took to the sky to chase the fleeing newbies.

One reckless Bloodthirsty Demon charged towards Li Zheng. Wang Fang aimed her rifle and opened fire, but the bullets couldn’t even penetrate its skin.

"No use," Li Zheng pulled his girlfriend behind him. The sphere that flew back hovered above his head. When the Demon came within ten meters, the sphere’s eye suddenly opened, emitting a red light beam.

Zzzt! The Bloodthirsty Demon was pierced through, its wound igniting. It continued to charge, but after only three steps, like a torch soaked in gasoline, it ignited and burnt to ash in seconds, leaving nothing but black cinders.

The breeze blew, scattering them across the land. The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the N0veI.Fiɾe.net

"Hero Tier 3? I couldn’t tell, that kid is so impressive!" Bai Guoqiang gasped, scared by Li Zheng’s fierce attack power.

The Sphere began its feast, with eyes moving, constantly shooting out light beams. Any demon hit by them wouldn’t take three steps before burning to ash.

A demon flew close to Baldy, brandishing its axe, chopping down towards his head.

Baldy sneered, and his right arm suddenly swelled, covered with scales. He easily deflected the axe, and then grabbed the demon’s head in one hand.

Boom. The demon’s head, which could even withstand 40mm caliber bullets, burst like a rotten tomato under Baldy’s easy squeeze. He laughed heartily as he turned to kill the other demons.

"These are all points, everybody kill!" Baldy was frenzied, not at all concerned with conserving life energy.

"Collapse the Teleportation Gate, wipe them out, and see if that triggers any mission hints." Li Zheng remained calm, showing a bit of the Group Leader’s color at this moment.

But the newbies were close to cursing him to death.

The Conquerors had not thought about rescuing the newbies, and so they were out of luck, chased by the Bloodthirsty Demons, it was a dead-end street. Facing them, they were more helpless than vulnerable chicks.

Bai Guo turned his head, unable to bear to watch further.

"Why are monsters appearing here?" Dantai was puzzled. Logically, monsters should go after humans or Beastmen. Why were they appearing here, as if specifically hunting the survivors?

Dantai ruled out the possibility that Li Zheng had provoked the demons, as by their faces, this was also their first encounter with these monsters.

"Let’s go, I don’t fancy fighting those demons." Bai Guoqiang urged, but immediately cursed out loud, as a blue light beam shot straight down from the Vault of Heaven, appearing a dozen meters away from them and then forming a Teleportation Gate.

The Bloodthirsty Demons appeared, roaring and charging at them.

The newbies were about to wet themselves, in the blink of an eye eight appeared, and they could even smell the blood on them.

"Retreat!" Dantai focused on the demons and unleashed a Psychic Storm.

As the demons sprinted, their heads, as if crushed by a steamroller, suddenly burst open, turning into a bloody mess with a crash.

Zzzt, zzzt, the Wristwatch suddenly emitted electromagnetic noise, followed by intermittent Trojan announcements.

"Go, find the Team!" After hearing this, Dantai immediately changed plans, leading the team to rendezvous with Li Zheng.

"Why? Those people are trouble!" Bai Guoqiang wanted to dissuade him, but Dantai ignored him.

The newbies ran like mad, but still, two unlucky ones were chopped in half by the Bloodthirsty Demons’ axes.

One after another, blue light beams fell from the sky within a two-kilometer radius, forming Teleportation Gates. If not for inaccurate positioning, they could have put every Trojan Squad through a tough fight.

Li Zheng’s group also received the Trojan announcement and immediately went full firepower, fighting for time. They were not surprised to see Dantai and his group approaching.

Baldy whistled, eyeing Bai Guo almost drooling as her immense breasts swung wildly due to rapid running, forming the most tantalizing scene, making Baldy wish he could take a bite.

"Damn, don’t know who will luck out with her." Baldy muttered to himself, moving to greet Bai Guo, "Hey, beauty, need a hand?"

Bai Guo turned her head away, ignoring him.

"So pure, just my type." Baldy, like an aroused Dog in heat, voluntarily darted in front of Bai Guo, intercepting the demons chasing her.

"Who are you guys?" The man with the Eye Patch asked, his ability also seemed very odd, as if there was a Barrier around his body. Any demon that charged at him was blocked, then their joints twisted, breaking, and their Hearts dug out from the chest cavity, disappearing into thin air, as if eaten by something.

"Survivors!" Dantai did not hide it; everyone was wearing Protective Clothing that made their origins obvious at a glance, better to be upfront.

"You’re scouts, right? Where’s the rest of the team?" The mixed-race speaker, slightly pale, was a bit effeminate, and even had his ears tailored into sharp points like an Elf.

The mixed-race man liked to cosplay. If not for the inability to use the Wristwatch, he would wear leather armor and wield a Hand-held Longbow, posing as an Elf Ranger.

"This guy must be the top strategist of the Team, right?" As Dantai looked into the mixed-race man’s eyes, he felt a wave of mental pressure.

In this short stretch of less than a hundred meters, Dantai’s group lost three newbies. The remaining two were scared out of their wits, and if not for good luck, they definitely wouldn’t have lasted till now.

Bai Guo wanted to save them, but Dantai stopped her.

The unlucky newbies and White-Collar man who had been severely injured by Li Zheng and Baldy couldn’t get away and died. They had no value, as low as stray dogs!
