Chapter 27 (1/2)
“Officer Qi!” The Class 2 students cried out in shock, stopping in place.
“Quickly go, you’ll only add to my troubles if you remain here!” Lieutenant Qi cried out loud, staring at the three incoming Five-Colored Poison Spiders with round, enraged eyes.
His words were true; most of the preparatory beastmasters in Class 2 only had one-star black iron-quality beasts, with a tiny fraction of them having bronze-quality beasts. When up against three three-star bronze-quality Five-Colored Poison Spiders, they were practically useless, and would even get in his way.
Han Sheqing glanced toward Second Lieutenant Qi, who had already rushed over to intercept the three Five-Colored Poison Spiders. Then, he turned around and shouted at the students, “Let’s go! We’ll hurry back to the camp and inform them of the situation here.”
The young men and women’s eyes reddened. They mustered their remaining strength and ran in the ad hoc camp’s direction.
Zhang Che was hesitating, when Huang Tielan suddenly pulled on him and said with a burning gaze, “Zhang Xiaoche, let’s go help Officer Qi. I know you’re thinking of this as well.”
Zhang Che looked sideways. There wasn’t any trace of fear in Huang Tielan’s eyes. On the contrary, her gaze was filled with the will to fight.
As expected, Tienan was different from the others!
Zhang Che wanted to test the upper limits of a one-star silver-quality beast’s combat strength as well. He nodded resolutely and said, “Alright, with our two one-star silver-quality beasts, we’ll definitely be able to stall one of the Five-Colored Poison Spiders.”
“Mm, we’ll do it for sure!”
Huang Tielan revealed a faint smile as she commanded her Scarlet Head Golden Back Centipede to turn back to the imminent battle.
At this moment, Second Lieutenant Qi was leading his Eagle-Beak Pheasant and clashing with the Five-Colored Poison Spiders. He was swinging his transformed weapon-type beast card, drawing an arc before him, with no openings to exploit.
The Eagle-Beak Pheasant was moving about with its long legs, its wings slightly opened. From time to time, its sharp beak would shoot forward with lightning speed, and its defensive maneuvering wasn’t bad, either.
The duo actually managed to hold back the attacks of three Five-Colored Poison Spiders. Although their defenses seemed a little flawed, it shouldn’t be an issue for them to hold on for a short while.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of quick footsteps from behind. As he dodged the attack of a Five-Colored Poison Spider, he turned around to look and saw a pair of students rushing back to him with their own subdued beasts.
Lieutenant Qi was both shocked and angry. “Are you looking to die? Don’t drag me down with you if that’s the case!”
From Lieutenant Qi’s view, it seemed like the youngsters nowadays really didn’t know the difference between heaven and earth. Did they think that they could withstand the attacks of the Five-Colored Poison Spider with their useless beasts?
“Officer Qi, we’ll help you!”
A hint of excitement could be seen on Huang Tielan’s face. She was standing about twenty meters away from her beast, commanding it to pounce on one of the Five-Colored Poison Spider.
-Help me? It’d be great if you didn’t add to my troubles!-
Zhang Che recalled his Wind Shadow Wolves and re-established his spiritual link with the Fiery Scorpion. Seeing Lieutenant Qi was about to emit smoke from all of his orifices, he hurriedly explained, “Officer Qi, our beasts are both silver-quality. They should be able to defend against the attacks of one of the Five-Colored Poison Spiders. As long as we can delay for some time, Teacher Han and the rest will reach the camp and call for reinforcements to help us.”
Shua shua, Lieutenant Qi slashed out twice, forcing one of the Five-Colored Poison Spider back. A strange flash gleamed in his eyes before he nodded, replying, “Then be careful.”
Two one-star silver-quality beasts. Even if they couldn’t defeat a three-star bronze-quality Five-Colored Poison Spider, they should be able to hold out for some time, right?
