Chapter 1346

"Medics scatter into the formation, ready to heal at any moment!"

Zhao Chi shouted the order.

"Yes!"

"Understood!"

"Got it!"

"As you command!"

The female generals carried out the order.

The formation swiftly changed.

The Shi Laimu ahead also rapidly took shape.

Half-human-tall Shi Laimu condensed out one after another.

About the size of a washing machine.

Even more like colorful jelly.

Their features couldn't be made out; only some faint bumps and curves roughly indicated where their faces were.

These Shi Laimu came in many colors—red, green, yellow, purple, black… all sorts.

"Zhao Chi, do we fire now?"

Su Qin's elves were already ready, bows drawn and able to loose at any moment.

"Wait a little longer. The different colors mean different attributes. Wait until they cluster together, then fire. Everyone, keep retreating another fifty meters."

"Yes!"

The group steadily pulled back, fully retreating inside the territory of Taoyuan Village.

At this moment, Su Qin's orc and human subordinates came jogging up, panting.

Su Qin hurriedly said, "You all rest at the back for now, guard the rear, and prevent enemies from flanking us."

"Y-yes! Spread out!" Zha Zha Hula gasped for breath.

The orcs dispersed.

"Understood… form up!" Kasha Duo set his shield on the ground.

The human warriors arranged themselves in an arc, protecting the entire rear.

Su Qin had no time to look back as she gave orders.

Because she saw dense swarms of Shi Laimu constantly leaping and moving.

This number… was definitely over ten thousand.

Zhao Chi shouted through Gu Qing's mouth:

"Let me emphasize once more—low tier Shi Laimu only have 18 attribute points, they're relatively weak.

"But different Shi Laimu have different attribute focuses, so pay attention and deal with them accordingly.

"All Shi Laimu races have self-healing. What we need to do is kill them quickly—wounding them is pointless, they must be killed outright.

"Although these Shi Laimu are numerous, they're just enhanced versions of skeletons.

"And these Shi Laimu have already been weakened. Follow my command, and we will definitely win!"

His voice spread across the battlefield.

"UNDERSTOOD!!!"

A deafening reply.

Zhao Chi felt his heart jolt.

The orc and human warriors behind were so startled they flinched, thinking it was a sharp clap of thunder.

There was truly no need to rally morale anymore.

These women were on the edge of going berserk.

Fortunately they were well-trained; otherwise he probably couldn't have held them back now—they would have charged into the Shi Laimu mob to attack wildly long ago.

The Shi Laimu army continued to gather.

The sticky gel on the ground was gone.

So the things they'd just stepped on were Shi Laimu bodies?

Do they normally take that form?

Is it to absorb nutrients from the ground?

Just like plants…

Zhao Chi scanned the battlefield.

He didn't see any ordinary Shi Laimu—they were all different elemental Shi Laimu.

After all, this nest's level range was 10–50; there were no Tier One Shi Laimu at all.

The lowest tier was Tier Two elemental Shi Laimu.

They weren't very large, but they could all use spiritual technique.

Shi Laimu of the same element clustered together, and half of them had purer colors.

Their bodies were also as tall as a human's.

Those were Tier Three medium Shi Laimu, with more spiritual power and stronger recovery.

Closer to the center were nearly a hundred large Shi Laimu, each the size of a small wooden cabin.

They could all use intermediate spiritual technique, with considerable power and far greater killing force.

And they were only Tier Four.

At the very center of each Shi Laimu cluster was also a giant Shi Laimu, about the size of a two-story building.

Their recovery ability is extremely strong.

We must concentrate all our strength to kill them, otherwise they'll never die.

These are Tier 5 ones.

Luckily they're Shi Laimu...

As for the Emperor Shi Laimu, we haven't seen one yet.

No worries, it'll show up sooner or later.

"Zhao Chi, they're coming. How do we fight now?"

Su Qin looked toward Zhao Chi.

Zhao Chi narrowed his eyes.

Over ten thousand Shi Laimu gathered into 8 groups.

Each group has different attributes.

If the Shi Laimu were defending, there'd still be a point to arranging tactics.

But now the Shi Laimu seem to have noticed Zhao Chi's side has fewer people, so they're all charging over.

Densely packed.

Now the enemy is many and we are few, and the enemy is charging in full force — most tactics have already lost their meaning.

Then there's only one option.

Fight directly!

The entire Shi Laimu army split into 3 main blocks.

The farthest block consists of about 4000–5000, mainly "Medical Shi Laimu," "Metal Shi Laimu," and "Earth Shi Laimu."

Basically melee types.

The middle one consists of over 3000, mainly "Venom Shi Laimu" and "Darkness Shi Laimu."

Strong in restricting and weakening abilities.

The frontmost is about 5000, mainly "Thunder Shi Laimu," "Flame Shi Laimu," and "Ice Shi Laimu."

All ranged-attack types.

Among these, the Flame Shi Laimu should be the least threatening — after all, Zhao Chi's female soldiers all carry the Flame Creature gene, which reduces fire damage by 90%.

The Thunder Shi Laimu is the most threatening.

Because lightning can penetrate metal armor and directly damage the female soldiers' bodies.

A single Shi Laimu's lightning spiritual technique probably won't be that strong, but there are over a thousand of them.

If over a thousand bolts of lightning come crashing down, even Gu Qing won't have time to heal.

We must eliminate the Thunder Shi Laimu first.
