Chapter 2088

Gao Tian! You go first! I'll hold them off!

I can do it! Brother Zhang! I can kill them!!

After the half-raised white stone slope, Zhang Tie, his face covered in blood and half-bent, like a silver bear about to lunge, stared fixedly at the two fifth-tier enemies in the distance.

His skull shattered, bearing an injury enough to incapacitate an ordinary third-tier, yet the bear simpleton felt no pain at all, instead pointing the lingchi blade at his own head.

These bastards...

His gaze swept over the somewhat collapsed Pik elves, and Zhang Tie's teeth were almost grinding to pieces.

The attack came too suddenly, almost the instant the protective shield ended, the two fifth-tier who had randomly teleported beside them launched an attack.

Even though there was already a sufficient gap in strength, these two fifth-tier still chose to ambush.

A spike erupting from the ground directly blew up the Pik elf's body; this noisy girl, who just seconds ago had been dreaming of showing her prowess as a summoner, instantly became like a skewer of meat, nailed alive to the spot.

The stone spike that burst from her lower body pierced straight through her head, as if she were skewered, her viscera brutally dragged out through her mouth.

If it weren't for the elf who could bow down and enter with her true form, she would have already died in an extremely humiliating way.

Watching her own mutilated corpse, Qiao Li, fluttering beside Zhang Tie, was almost driven to despair.

"My... body... my body..."

"Wuu... wuu..."

Although she is a fourth-tier, she has experienced many battles on Earth.

But Qiao Li never imagined that combat beyond fifth-tier would be so brutal, happening so fast she wouldn't even have a chance to react.

That probing spike, imbued with rule power, instantly pierced her defense, and the viciousness of the attack far surpassed what any mutant could muster.

Moreover, those two war-star fifth-tier noticed that this team had hardly any combat experience against fifth-tier.

Even though she had already lost more than half of her combat power, the enemy still used rule-based locks to target her, trying to use her as bait to kill them with minimal cost!

"Everyone go! Wait for Captain Lin! I can hold them off alone; they wouldn't dare kill me!"

Seeing that aside from Gao Tian and Luo En, the rest of the members had turned deathly pale, Zhang Tie growled at everyone, signaling Gao Tian to lead the people away first.

The wound on his head was self-inflicted; upon realizing the opponent was fifth-tier, he immediately chose to use self-mutilation rules to hold them off. Fortunately, these two fifth-tier weren't that strong; realizing they could be hurt by Zhang Tie, they decisively withdrew, pursuing them relentlessly like vultures.

"No way, Brother Zhang! You can only swap with someone else; I'm leaving, you'll die!"

Gao Tian hastily refused Zhang Tie's suggestion, the ancient black longbow in his hand gathering purple light that locked back and forth on the two distant fifth-tier.

As one of the only two in the team who could barely threaten the enemy, Gao Tian knew well that Zhang Tie's ability only works in melee; although his vitality is comparable to a flesh-body system, if these two war-stars wanted, they could easily wear him down from a distance without even getting hurt.

Only he, only by coordinating with Zhang Tie in a far-near threat, could there be any hope of survival.

"Fuck your mother! Have the guts to fight me up close! Are fifth-tiers really this cowardly!!

This was the first time facing a fifth-tier head-on; even when up against the weakest fifth-tier, he could only be used as a target.

The bear simpleton roared angrily, trying to provoke the enemy into close combat! He thought he and the fifth-tier weren't far apart; according to Lin's team data, these two were just ordinary cannon fodder! But who would have thought, the fifth-tier's rules far surpassed them!

If it were a fifth-tier with slightly stronger rules, they could have wiped them out just now!

"Idiot..

Rule power surged, and he stood floating in midair.

The first to act, a war-star from the Yanhai civilization, snorted, his face bearing marble-like patterns that continually shifted.

Only see, a faint earth-yellow light glimmered in his hand, threatening Gao Tian, the archer.

He figured out that these fourth-tier battle slaves were likely brought in by some weak civilization. Poorly experienced, whenever he deliberately manipulated rules, these insects panicked, unaware he was adjusting defensive rules.

Moreover, these wastes actually got angry about being ambushed? Truly beyond foolish.

"Lushan, what do you say? Should we hang their behind fifth-tier, or just go in directly?

"Our people will arrive soon; in my view, a civilization capable of bringing even entry-level fourth-tiers here must be the weakest of this batch. Since we're not fast anyway, rather than fight them for position, let's just kill this batch and earn some points.

"Let's kill a few first; even a mosquito is meat. This time we definitely won't get a ranking, but we can still earn internal contributions.

Hearing his companion's suggestion, the war-star called Lushan hesitated slightly, his gray eyes sweeping toward Gao Tian.

Their civilization's strength is mediocre; their only advantage is decent defense. Frankly, they never expected to get a ranking, and even their entry method was virtual.

This time entering the battlefield was purely a gamble that the scene would favor them; since they lost the bet, they're just mixing in.

Just saying that, the two glanced at each other and chose not to act.

The reason is simple: that bear and the bow-wielding kid have somewhat strange rules; despite being only fourth-tier, they can threaten us.

Not wanting to pay any price, both hope the other will make the first move.

Anyway, these wastes can't escape from their grasp, and they don't mind wasting a bit of time playing around. If they could lure out the fifth-tier behind them, that would be even better.

"If that's the case, Lushan, then you use earth rules to deal with those behind. One of them is speed-type; don't let the fifth-tier behind these battle slaves show up and let him escape.

"Sure, their rules are weak; I can smash them from a distance.

After the division of labor was set, Kuishan didn't waste words, merely giving a cold laugh and looking down on Zhang Tie, who glared at him, like a superior.

"A bunch of wastes, didn't your fifth-tier behind tell you to run as far as you can when encountering a war-star?

Unmoved by the insects' anger, Kuishan finished speaking and raised his right hand, pointing a single finger at Zhang Tie like a supreme ruler.

Mountain force! Heavy pressure rule!

In an instant, a force of tens of thousands of tons descended like a mountain pressing down; Zhang Tie at the front instantly stooped, his pores bursting with blood under the immense pressure.

"Fourth-tier trash, dare to defy me!

"Give it all to me..

Kneel!
