”Wang Tong, since higher-ranked Zergs are lurking around, I think we really should head to the beach as soon as possible while those creatures are still focusing on attacking the base, we would be safer once we reached the beach,” Wang Ben said.

”Yeah I agree, those are just a bunch of creepy crawlies. We are here to train to become stronger, not to become sissies!” Apache agreed on Wang Ben’s idea, he wasn’t afraid at all since he had been through a lot during his training days at the Spatial Anti-smuggling Bureau.

”Let’s treat this like a simulation!”

Wang Tong knew that both of them were eager to get physical, and it would only ruin their moods if he insisted on staying put. Although it was risky, they still had a point; hence Wang Tong had no chance but to agree as well, after all, it would be safer if the three of them to stick together.

”Alright, but make sure you don’t fall into an entanglement, or else we will be toasted,” Wang Tong said. He totally understood Wang Ben and Apache’s heroic impulse, but he chose to remain calm; based on his experiences on Norton, the Zergs were not as simple-minded as they expected.

”I’ve seen a lot of talented ones, but you’re definitely the first one who’s strong yet way too cautious.” Apache laughed and shook his head, he might have said ”cautious”, but he actually meant ”chicken”.

Wang Tong faked a smile, then he began to plan out their fighting strategy.

Although the three of them managed to travel in stealth mode, yet it wasn’t very useful as the Zergs were everywhere on Paradise Island, they were discovered by the creatures within minutes and were forced into a fight.

Wang Ben was the first to strike as if he had been holding back his anger since his arrival on Paradise Island, he immediately unleashed his Fist of the Racing Tiger and punctured a hole in the body of a Scythe Zerg. Apache sneered and unsheathed his Horseslayer as he leaped across, slashing every Zerg on his path like a hurricane.

However, Wang Tong sighed as he saw them fight, knowing that this was not how they should engage!

Unlike the other two who were enjoying themselves and creating epic violence scenes by blasting the creatures into pieces or slashing them into halves, Wang Tong’s attacks were simpler, yet always hitting them at their sweet spots.

Wang Tong managed to advance in a jiffy. Wang Ben and Apache were able to keep up with him at the beginning, but their formation quickly began to fall apart. Apache was still okay as he was good with speed, but Wang Ben could barely keep up because he had been using too much strength fighting every single Zerg; his punches might be ferocious, but the effectiveness was just like Wang Tong’s simpler attacks. Nevertheless, not everyone was able to control their own strength, or perhaps this was how the Fist of the Racing Tiger should be.

Wang Tong had no choice but to slow down, but they were completely surrounded by Zergs again in no time. Obviously, they had underestimated the battle intelligence of the Zergs, and since the base built by the FFC was completely locked down and the creatures were unable to break through easily, the Zergs would automatically swarm around when they discovered the traces of humans, and of course, their leaders were keen to capture the three of them.

Having no fear of death, the lower-ranked Zergs began to charge toward the three of them. Even though the trio managed to kill tens of these creatures, their numbers kept increasing. If the three of them were stuck in a lower terrain, they would be ”flooded” to death.

”This is getting worse!” Apache said as he licked his lips, his Horseslayer was covered with the disgusting body fluid of Zergs, and it was getting heavier due to the weight of the gooey substance.

However, the real higher-ranked Zerg was still staying hidden, waiting for the right moment for an ambush.

”Stay alerted guys, they’re trying to catch us alive. I’m pretty sure their boss is hidden on this island as well!”

”Damn, don’t tell me there is some kind of brain-juice sucking monster,” Apache joked.

”Nope, it does exist. I’m not sure if it is an Encephalon Zerg, but I’ve seen a lot of other higher-ranked species on Norton. My advice is to look out for those with a stinger on the lower part of their abdomens!” Wang Tong wasn’t joking around, he had seen higher-ranked Zergs before which were capable of doing so; not only were they able to suck out the brain fluid of humans, but they would even kill their own kind. However, Wang Tong wasn’t sure why they would do that since he was neither a biologist nor a Zerg, and the only thing that he knew was to kill them before they killed him.

”This is endless, you two cover me, I’ll blast us a way out!” Wang Ben said as he killed two Zergs with three punches; meanwhile, Apache managed to slaughter a Skulk Zerg.

This never-ending process was tiring, but luckily, their stamina has improved a lot after being trained by Massa, at least they were now able to make a calm and sober judgment. Somehow, Wang Tong sensed that something was fishy as he noticed they had only been fighting lower-ranked Zergs, and it would be bad if they wasted too much strength on them. Furthermore, he noticed that Wang Ben seemed to be not as calm and cool as he usually was, but he decided not to undermine the confidence of his comrades.

Apache, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying the thrill of the fight as he unleashed his warcry, he was excited to witness the true power of the Fist of the Racing Tiger!

Apparently, Wang Ben needed quite some time to prepare, leaving only two attackers in their party, which instantly increased Apache and Wang Tong’s stress because the swarm of Zergs kept multiplying. As the two of them were busy warding off Zergs, Apache realized that Wang Tong was surprisingly much stronger than he thought he was, given by the fact that he was able to cover Wang Ben almost by himself.

Meanwhile, Wang Ben’s Soul Energy was pumping up, and he began to let out a heavy growl. Wang Ben was infuriated, sometimes there were things that he was unwilling to do but couldn’t reject, yet he would still do them even though he didn’t understand why he had to do so.
