The battle erupted faster than anticipated.
That patrol squad wasnât just the respawning monsters in a game; they were real, living people!
Upon discovering Chen Dragon, and shooting an arrow, the patrol squad quickly followed Chen Dragonâs path in pursuit.
However, just as the patrol squad stepped into the hill pass where Chen Dragon disappeared, a muffled sound was heard.
Clang!
A bullet precisely struck a flag-bearing cavalry member of the patrol squad, the immense power smashing through his skull, spilling the red and white viscous matter across the ground!
Of course, in the nativesâ eyes, this wasnât a bullet, but an arrowâthis was the disguise effect brought by the World Mystery.
The shot was fired by the first special service officer team, "Si Snake," who specializes in long-distance sniping!
As a "Super Sniper," the farther the attack distance, the higher the critical strike bonus and damage bonus upon hitting an enemy. This also causes Si Snake to prefer weapons with long attack distances.
The patrol squad was thrown into chaos.
The leading cavalry commander shouted sharply, reprimanding the troops to regroup.
However, the Awakened wouldnât give him time to regroup.
Thud, thud, thud!
The heavy stomping sound, accompanied by a slight tremor, resounded as the over-two-meters-tall, like a giant beast, Dai Sect, charged forward!
His left shoulder charged forward, cloaked in a layer of blood-colored light, while the iron axe in his right hand gleamed with a dark luster, also storing power.
A group of Pang Sai cavalry archers reined their horses and retreated, simultaneously drawing curved bows to shoot arrows at Dai Sect.
This is the cavalry archersâ specialty, the kite guerrilla tactic.
However, the arrows shot at Dai Sect were all shaken loose by the blood-colored light on his shoulder, unable to even penetrate his skin.
On the retreat path of the cavalry archers, there were already two fiery beauties, one large and one small, waiting silently.
It was Blood Spider and Wushan Divine Lady, their bodies enveloped in a layer of white luminescent aura, enhancing their speed and dodge value.
And the source of this luminescent aura, like a silken thread spun by a spring silkworm, was held by a petite female Awakened wearing a Rabbit mask.
Special Service Officer "Rabbit," specializing in group speed boosts, dodge, invisibility, and other support professions.
Facing the retreating cavalry archers, Blood Spider raised her hand crossbow, fired off crossbow arrows wrapped in Blood Melting Fighting Qi.
Wushan Divine Lady, cloaked in Rabbitâs moonlit aura, slipped into the cavalry ranks like a sleek fish.
The short sword within her sleeve, like a snake spitting venom, struck accurately at the vital points like the horseâs eye, heart, and other critical spots with every attack.
Pan Sai cavalry archers drew their sabers, launching close-range Fighting Qi Slashes at Wushan Divine Lady, but most were misguided by the moonlit auraâs refraction.
The few remaining attacks were deflected by the gravitational shields formed by Wushan Divine Ladyâs Jade Tide True Qi, either landing in thin air or striking themselves.
From the front, Dai Sect had already plunged into the crowd! A simple slash cleaved a cavalry member and horse into two pieces!
This slash evidently powered up for the next strike, Dai Sectâs massive body rotated slightly, executing a horizontal blow with his axe, severing the curved saber of the second cavalry member, and slicing him into two halves.
Immediately followed by the third power-up spin! As if a steel hard bow drawn to its limit.
Spin, swing the axe!
Dai Sectâs simple motion was full of power, the final axe leading to a blood-colored wave of air slashing out, causing one Pang Sai cavalry member after another to separate from their mounts, upper bodies soaring skyward as legless horses crumbled.
"Itâs Hercules from Garrisonâs Axe King!"
One Pang Sai cavalry member exclaimed in panic.
Dai Sect had long been established in the Demon Fighting World, under the alias "Hercules of Garrison," widely known, reaching the rank of a "Strong Person with a Title."
The so-called "Strong Person with a Title," even at Garrison Warrior Academy, could sit as the department head.
For instance, Dana Cidibe, the Knight Systemâs director, is titled "Blood Plum Knight," while Joe Finley, director of the Swordsman System, bears the title "Cloud Sword Saint."
That said, there is a disparity in the strength of titled individuals. For example, Blood Plum Knight and Cloud Sword Saint differ by two to three Dai Sects.
Bai Pu did not intervene.
He stood atop the mound, observing the battlefield closely.
"This group of Pang Sai cavalry isnât weak, averaging Level 8 or 9 Enhanced Elite, with the leader being a Level 9 Warrior, fully deserving of the high difficulty of the Demon Fighting World."
Bai Pu gave a preliminary evaluation.
Beside Bai Pu, Xu Dog, Chen Dragon, Rooster, and others did not participate in the battle; they specialize in non-direct combat.
Rooster chimed in, "The commander is right, our teamâs strength is just too formidable."
Wushan Divine Lady and Dai Sect themselves possess top-tier Awakened strength, coupled with Si Snakeâs long-distance sniping and Rabbitâs group enhancements, defeating the Pang Sai cavalry patrol squad was naturally effortless.
"I can tell, each of you holds your own ultimate skill."
Bai Pu suddenly turned around, looking at a special service officer behind him wearing a Pig mask: "Hai Pig, what about you? Whatâs your specialty?"
Hai Pig seemed somewhat unaccustomed to everyoneâs gaze, hiding behind Chen Dragon: "Commander, I specialize in... I specialize in protecting you."
Bai Pu smiled and nodded: "Good."
The battle soon reached its end.
The patrol leader succumbed to Wushan Divine Ladyâs efforts, as she injected Jade Tide True Qi into his body, severing his nerve responses and disrupting his energy flow, leaving him immobilized.
Commonly known as acupoint stimulation.
Of course, Wushan Divine Ladyâs acupoint stimulation wasnât as miraculous as in martial arts novels.
She must first ensure the target is severely injured and unable to resist, then Jade Tide True Qi can effortlessly occupy the targetâs critical acupoints.
The benefits of acupoint stimulation are also apparent; it can immobilize an enemy for an extended period, more effective and convenient than many torture devices and chains.
Bai Pu approached the patrol squad leader.
Seeing the indifferent eyes of the patrol squad leader, Bai Pu knew that interrogating him was futile.
So Bai Pu directly used Pure Blood, flicking a droplet of Pure Blood onto the patrol squad leaderâs brow, swiftly permeating inside.
After the Celestial Human War, Bai Pu had been using Pure Blood to feed the Dull Divine Rune, the key to unlocking his 3rd Layer talent.
However, the Pure Blood feeding consistently showed no effect, even when Bai Pu tried a droplet of Source Blood, it hadnât worked.
Now with the war outbreaking, Bai Pu had to pause the Pure Blood feeding. He pondered if Pure Blood might not be the solution.
The Demon Fighting World holds divine and demonic powers, such as the will of the Demon God Sarajael, and remnants of other deities. Bai Pu vaguely considered if he could consult the local gods and demons on how to deal with the 3rd Layer of the Dull Divine Rune.
Wait until control of this patrol squad leader, then inquire for information later.
Suddenly, a scream echoed; the patrol squad leaderâs face twisted, eyes bulging!
Within merely a breath, he had died violently, with blood streaming from the seven orifices!
