Chapter 748 - Invincible Monsters (2/2)

“That’s…!”

Su Le had encountered a similar green weapon in the past but they weren’t allowed to use it. Other than the few core members involved in the coastal region wars, the others did not possess it. His father, Su Lun, too had one. From what he heard, the weapon was said to have excellent structural integrity.

Green weapons like these were rare. Even young lords like them could hardly own one, they’d have to earn it through credits. So why would the Flaming Horn members possess something like this?

How was it possible?

Was its appearance merely similar?

To understand the situation, Su Le continued to observe them. Now, his priority was placed on those weapons. As to the Flaming Horn Tribe’s plan, he couldn’t be bothered. From his perspective, those monsters were meant to be invincible. Even if it was torn into pieces, it would still be able to continue fighting. He hadn’t thought of possible failures.

Failure? Impossible!

Even the silent person sitting behind Su Le had noticed the green weapons wielded by the Flaming Horn members. They couldn’t help but stare ahead instead of sitting still with their eyes glued to the ground. But still, compared to the visibly agitated Su Le, the person’s expression was indifferent. Their grey eyes felt like a lifeless desert.

The harsh collision of metal created a deafening screech. Su Le watched the monster’s weapon sustain damage with every clash, heart palpitating crazily.

Yes! It really was it!

Frankly, the monsters were already wielding comparatively high-quality weapons, at least much better than those brandished by the desert robbers. However, in the face of the Flaming Horn Tribe’s green weapons, it was vulnerable.

Su Le’s breathing picked up. The initial plan was just to bring the Gongjia members back home, finish the mission and perhaps exploit the credit for some benefit. The man really wasn’t expecting to come across great things!

Su Le couldn’t be bothered with how the Flaming Horn Tribe got ahold of these weapons. All he wished to do now was to rob their green tools away!

There were plenty of them. Perhaps if he submitted a portion upon return, Su Le was confident that he’d still be able to leave some for himself. Even if he couldn’t reserve much for his own use, bringing these home could be considered a great deed!

“Charge! Kill them all!” Su Le roared.

As long as all these Flaming Horn members were killed, all their weapons would naturally fall into his possession.

The person behind Su Le shared the thought. There was a glint in their otherwise dull eyes. The tightly-wrapped monsters began attacking with more ferocity. Their lack of reservations earlier had upgraded to suicidal attacks. Thankfully, the Flaming Horn Tribesmen had already beheaded quite a lot of monsters earlier. The situation was less dire but even so, it still brought the Flaming Horn Tribe members plenty of stress.

Thud!

One of the monsters’ bodies was slashed into halves. Its upper body fell to the ground but its lower body was still moving. Losing its legs, its upper body quickly utilized an arm to move about while the other arm resumed attacking the Flaming Horn member with its weapon.

There was no blood. What was supposed to be a cruel scene was diluted by the lack of bleeding. Despite that, it was instead filled with terrifying murderous intent.

The six Gongjia members watched the battle, expressions heavy with shock and horror. They tried their hardest to keep their turbulent emotions in check.

This was unbelievable!

When they had escaped through the sea, they were observers from a far distance away. Even so, the distance did nothing to save them from the numbing horror. Now, everything was happening near them. The imagery was clearer and it felt like a heavy hammer that slammed onto the Gongjia members’ hearts. Even their hair follicles seemed to be shivering from fear.

The halved monster continued to fight. Without a head, its body was still able to fight. The dismembered arms, on the other hand, were shockingly still able to grasp a sword and slash at the Flaming Horn Tribe member’s legs… These monsters were just as described in the legends. These monsters were invincible!

They knew no exhaustion, knew no pain, expressed no fear and did not breathe… Could they possibly defeat a bunch of monsters like this?

“Ah Xuan, this isn’t going to work at this point!” Ta exclaimed.

The monsters were originally at an advantage due to their sheer number. In terms of competence, the Flaming Horn Tribesmen were obviously much stronger than these monsters. However, if these monsters couldn’t be stopped, the Flaming Horn members would soon find themselves out of ideas. They had tried dismembering the monster’s arms and legs, they even tried decapitation. Yet, every attempt had never failed to generate more trouble. There was even an arm that tried to execute a sneak attack from behind.

Did they really need to crush the monsters’ bones? That’s too much hassle!

Their main focus was to charge into Su Le’s proximity but the monsters were relentless. They just couldn’t get any closer!

“Cover me!” said Shao Xuan as he kicked a lunging monster away. He could even hear the crisp bone crackling noise emitted off the enemy. Losing its structural support, the whole monster was deformed. It fell heavily at a distance away but got up the next second. It ran in the same direction again.

This was just the beginning. If this went on, it would be detrimental to the Flaming Horn Tribe members.

Picking up Shao Xuan’s request, Tuo, Ta and the others closest to the man quickly circled Shao Xuan to form a protection circle.

Shao Xuan inhaled sharply and laid his sword flat on his palms. He raised it to his front and smoothed a palm over the blade, letting his thumb graze along the sharp edge. Immediately, it opened a wound and blood began pouring out.

“What is he trying to do?” Gongjia Ren was perplexed.

While the other Flaming Horn Tribe members too were equally clueless, they stuck to Shao Xuan’s instructions firmly. The elder would certainly have his own rationale behind the action.
