Chapter 2604: Hunting Squad

The scorching sun hung high in the sky. Although the dense forest below was not directly exposed to the sun, the canopy of each Wangtian tree acted like a lid, covering the top, combined with the large broad-leaved plants growing on the surface, making the dense forest somewhat stuffy. Fortunately, the rainy season was coming, and this stuffiness did not reach an unbearable level.

Several figures moved through the bushes without leaving any traces. Clearly, they were all adept at hunting enemies and incidentally covering their own tracks along the way.

One figure stopped, and the others behind her hid, waiting for her next instructions. These people all knew in their hearts that they should either not cooperate at all, but since they chose to cooperate, they had to temporarily listen to the decision-maker's orders. And the decision-maker of this squad was Axiwa.

"Bug Man, you are at position 19. You don't need to fight. Ice Lord, after the war starts, you are the vanguard. Be careful; you might have your shield broken in a few slashes. No need to show off your Saint-level shield with reinforcement level 12; the enemy is at least a Blade Technique Grandmaster.

Xiaobai, cover Ice Lord's retreat at any time. Don't sneak near the enemy; you will die. Jumping Tiger, don't suddenly jump out of another space to send yourself to death. And Cocoa Bean, after the war starts, you are relatively safe; you are the enemy's second kill target."

Axiwa arranged the battle formation in the squad channel. Clearly, she had a lot of experience in dealing with technique-type strong enemies.

"I am the second kill target? Who is the first kill target? I'll help him add Life Protection."

Cocoa Bean in the squad channel spoke. As a healing-type, she was usually the first kill target of the enemy.

"The first kill target is Ice Lord."

"Pfft~, is the enemy a sand sculpture? Killing the tank-type with the strongest survivability first?"

"The enemy isn't, and neither am I. When I fight a contractor squad, I will use the enemy's tank as a shield at the first opportunity, and at the same time use the strongest throwing technique to throw the tank to death. The tank's domain suppression is the ability that technique-types hate. Also, control-types don't show off your presence; Blade Technique Grandmasters are immune to control. All mental-type controls are useless. Understand? If you understand, start the encirclement in 5 seconds."

Axiwa counted down in her heart. Just at this moment, Bug Man in the squad channel spoke. His tracking ability had failed. Fortunately, the enemy was already in the encirclement.

"Ice Lord, charge! Domain suppression at the first opportunity!"

Axiwa roared in the squad channel.

*Boom! *

The frozen plant leaves shattered. A giant beast head with rising cold air pushed straight forward, and the trees along the way were frozen and then smashed.

Heavy footsteps came. Su Xiao, sitting under a Wangtian tree, turned his head to look to the right. The enemy had arrived. From the distribution of the aura around, the contractor who commanded these people had a lot of combat experience.

*Sss~*

The Boundary Line tightened. Ice Lord, who was charging forward with large strides, felt a sense of restraint all over his body. He grinned and roared while exerting force all over his body.

*Crunch, crunch~*

A large number of trees around broke. Ice Lord, whose face was flushed, rushed out a few more meters before he could not advance even half a step. The Boundary Line, clinging with Soul Silk on the surface, was not something he could break free from.

After Ice Lord found that he could not charge forward even half a step, he immediately raised his hands and slapped the ground with a *bang*. Cold ice spread around.

Su Xiao got up and leaped sideways. When his feet stepped on the ground, the cold ice on the ground stopped about ten centimeters away from him. The domain-type ability suppression failed.

In the bushes, Axiwa, seeing this scene, narrowed her eyes. The enemy's combat experience, intuition, judgment, and perception were all stronger than hers. Her advantage at this time was that she had 19 teammates, and that was enough.

The moment Su Xiao stepped on the ground, a force came from under his feet. The soil under his feet formed a giant hand, intending to hold him in it.

With a *snap*, blue electric arcs flashed under Su Xiao's feet. The newly constructed mud hand collapsed, and mud and withered leaves fell from around.

A wave spread. Every grain of soil and every leaf around appeared to have a different aura. This was the perception-type's perception-misleading ability. It had to be admitted that this ability was very effective.

With a *swish*, a large blade nearly twenty centimeters wide slashed from Su Xiao's side. This large blade was straight, with an overall length of over 1.8 meters, heading straight for his waist, intending to cut him in half.

The crystal layer clung to Su Xiao's right hand. He pressed his hand on the slashing large blade, and using his right hand as a fulcrum, he leaped over the large blade as if jumping over a railing.

"What the hell!"

The male contractor holding the large blade and slashing horizontally with all his might stared wide-eyed. A black shadow was approaching him rapidly.

*Bang, bang! *

A side-swing punch and a straight kick. The large-blade man fell to the ground with a *thud*. His chest was in severe pain, many ribs were broken, and his organs were severely damaged.

*Zheng~*

Zhan Long Shan appeared. Su Xiao stabbed down with his blade. When the blade tip was still a few centimeters away from the back of the large-blade man's head, cold ice enveloped Su Xiao.

*Click, click, click~*

Cold air rose. Ice Lord, not far away, gripped the air in front of him with one hand. After completing this action, he spat out a large mouthful of white air.

"Mental-type control is ineffective, then I'll freeze you."

Ice Lord exerted force all over his body, trying to break free from the Boundary Line. However, this thing was extremely tough. But suddenly, Ice Lord felt his whole body loosen; the metal silk threads restraining him were pulled away.

The Boundary Line dragged an afterimage in the air and disappeared into Su Xiao's sleeve. Ice Lord saw the lock nail at the tip of the Boundary Line, which made his pupils shrink rapidly. The enemy was right beside him!

Ice Lord's heart was roaring, and at the same time, a cold ice arm shield generated on his arm. This was not generated by an ability, but a piece of equipment.

A blue light slashed past. Ice Lord blocked his side with the circular arm shield nearly one meter in diameter in his hand. With a *zzzt*, the long blade slashed across the arm shield, and a huge force came from the arm shield.

Just at this moment, a silver bullet came, but it hit nothing.

"Behind you!"

A loud roar entered Ice Lord's ears. However, the moment this loud roar entered his ears, the severe pain had already come from his back. The enemy had spatial abilities.

*Pfft! *

Blood surged. Ice Lord's eyes suddenly widened. An indescribable severe pain appeared from behind him, and then there was a pile of combat notifications—not one, but a huge pile.
