171: The most important gains often require the simplest methods
At this moment.
Shen Bei was decisive and brave. After seizing the fleeting opportunity, he broke out of the ground without hesitation or fear, shot into the air, and pressed directly towards the Alien Leader!
And those small fry Otherworlders, after seeing someone launch a sneak attack...
Some were completely bewildered.
Some were confused and didn't understand.
Some froze in place.
Some Otherworlders didn't even notice the change behind them and continued walking forward.
All the Otherworlders present, no matter how hard they thought, never imagined that someone would be buried underground to launch a sneak attack!
Is this a tactic?
They had never seen it before!
In previous battles with humans, either the opponent ran, or they fought head-on.
Sneak attacks did happen.
But not like this!
At this time, the Alien Leader noticed the anomaly immediately.
But it must be said, aside from a flicker of panic and surprise in his crimson eyes, his demeanor and expression remained calm as Shen Bei lunged at him.
In an instant.
The Alien Leader patted the Single-Horned Thunder Bull Beast he was riding.
A dazzling ball of electric current suddenly flashed on the mount's horn.
It was like firing a cannonball.
Its power was like an evil star crossing the sky, with thunder and lightning flashing.
This ball of electric current, almost silently, directly struck Shen Bei's body as he pounced down.
The Alien Leader looked up at the scene in mid-air with a somewhat playful expression.
In his eyes, the Single-Horned Thunder Bull Beast's electric attack was powerful and extremely dangerous.
And this human who was ambushing him actually didn't know to dodge.
Heh, his brain must be broken.
At this moment, Shen Bei ignored the Alien Leader's preemptive attack, still diving down like a lightning bolt from the sky, like an eagle preying on a rabbit!
Boom!!!
Exploding electric currents surged in the Void Realm, and the smell of scorching filled the air.
In that blink of an eye, accompanied by the burst of electric sparks, it was as if countless bolts of lightning exploded simultaneously.
The next second.
A roar came from the dazzling electric light: "Giving you a chance is useless!"
Shen Bei, like a tiger unleashed, a violent flash of lightning, carrying strong winds, roared and broke through the halo of exploding electric light.
With an incredibly ferocious, vicious, and swift momentum, he lunged at the Alien Leader, who was just a meter away, to kill him!
At this moment, the Alien Leader's pupils suddenly contracted, his brows furrowed tightly, and the centipede-shaped scar on his face twisted slightly, making him look exceptionally sinister.
He had never expected that there would be a human who was unharmed under the attack of the Single-Horned Thunder Bull Beast!
Even... without a single injury!
How could this be possible!
The Alien Leader truly couldn't understand; could this human ignore the damage from a third-tier Vicious Beast?
The next moment.
Shen Bei plunged down with a full punch, striking directly.
And the Alien Leader quickly crossed his arms to shield his head and parry.
But...
The expected attack did not arrive.
However, the Alien Leader felt as if some liquid had been poured on his two arms, causing a burning sensation.
He lowered his arms and saw a pile of viscous, milky white liquid rapidly solidifying.
"Kuri Meng Cha!"
When the Alien Leader tried to separate his arms again, he found that he couldn't tear them apart.
His two arms seemed to be connected by flesh and blood, grown together.
The Alien Leader once again mustered his Qi, attempting to shake off the sticky liquid.
But it was still useless!
Just then, after Shen Bei made a feint, he sprinkled Niu Liu's glue on the Alien Leader's arms.
This wasn't the end of it.
His arms being glued together only restricted the Alien Leader's upper body movement.
His legs had to be glued too!
If that happened, no matter how formidable the Alien Leader was, he wouldn't even fight him; he would just take him away directly!
After Shen Bei quickly landed on the mount, while the Alien Leader was still a bit confused and struggling with Niu Liu's glue...
He grabbed his hair, pulled him down, brought his legs together, and directly poured glue on them.
It was that simple and unadorned.
The Alien Leader's legs and feet were all glued together, leaving him completely unable to resist!
And all of this happened in an instant.
Shen Bei didn't hesitate for a moment, grabbing the Alien Leader's body, kicking the mount to its knees, and shooting out like an arrow.
He charged towards Qianjin Camp.
Only when they realized the Alien Leader had been captured did the Otherworlders finally react.
Their leader had been captured!
Although they didn't understand why the leader didn't resist, their leader was captured, so they had to rescue him.
So, the Otherworlders in front waved their weapons, their formation in disarray, and began to chase Shen Bei.
And the Otherworlders behind, seeing the commotion in front, didn't understand what was happening at all.
They thought they had encountered a human army coming to intercept them.
They also crowded forward, preparing for battle.
Just then.
The Zha Tian Gang Four-person Group began to roar and shout in unison. What they shouted wasn't important; the other side wouldn't understand anyway.
The main thing was to raise their morale and appear extremely fierce.
Then, they began to run back and forth around the back of the Otherworlder Team in the dense forest.
A large amount of foliage swayed, coupled with chaotic sounds.
This truly caused the Otherworlder Team behind to explode into chaos and lose their footing.
Humans were blocking in front, and humans were surrounding them from behind!
Looking at the violently shaking vegetation, there must be quite a number of them.
At this moment, the Otherworlders were terrified.
Some Otherworlders, to save their lives or escape the pincer movement, had already started running to the sides.
One Otherworlder running didn't have much impact.
But when three or four started fleeing to the sides...
It was like falling dominoes.
The impact was quite fatal.
The Otherworlder Team in the rear completely collapsed!
This collapse continuously affected the front Team.
Anyone on the battlefield who is chasing an enemy while their teammates behind them are fleeing to both sides...
Everyone would be suspicious, everyone would be terrified.
Without even needing to communicate, it must mean there are humans outflanking them from behind!
"Let the Fellow Daoist die, not me" was not only Shen Bei's motto.
It was also common in the Catacombs.
So, the emotion that spread from the rear Team, like a stampede, spread forward at the fastest speed.
More and more Otherworlders, not knowing why, their heads muddled, seeing others run, followed suit.
Coupled with their leader being captured alive by humans, everyone feared for themselves, and the army collapsed like a mountain!
At this very moment.
Shen Bei had only run one kilometer.
The Otherworlders who were originally chasing him, wanting to rescue their leader, had all disappeared...
"It seems the Zha Tian Gang isn't entirely useless after all."
Shen Bei breathed a sigh of relief.
A sneak attack combined with a show of force, the Zha Tian Gang, with barely five people, had defeated an Otherworlder Team of over five hundred!
It was so damn exciting!
Now, it was time to harvest.
Shen Bei, carrying the Alien Leader, began to move closer to Qi Chuanyu and the others.
Along the way, he easily caught those ridiculous, desperate Otherworlder small fry and strung them together one by one with a rope.
During this capture process, Shen Bei almost burst out laughing.
These Otherworlders retreated without any strategy.
They ran around wildly in the dense forest.
Some Otherworlders, while running, even crashed into Shen Bei's arms.
They were truly giving themselves up!
But thinking about it carefully, it wasn't surprising that they were so panicked.
One was their leader being inexplicably taken away, and the other was the spread of panic from the rear Team.
No one knew how many humans were outflanking them.
Shen Bei also drew a conclusion: calmness is sometimes more important than strength.
Not long after.
The Zha Tian Gang regrouped.
Qi Chuanyu caught seven Otherworlders.
Niu Yanben caught eight.
Liao Zhongyang caught ten.
Du Ziteng caught eight.
"Aren't we awesome?" Qi Chuanyu boasted, pointing at the Otherworlders who had completely lost the will to resist, and continued, "Captured alive! It was almost like catching chickens, it was so damn exhilarating!"
Niu Yanben gestured wildly, "I never dared to dream in this life that I would have a day to achieve great deeds, hey!"
Du Ziteng proudly tossed his hair, "It's not that interesting. Turns out the feeling of a tiger entering a flock of sheep is quite ordinary."
Liao Zhongyang also showed a bit of smugness, "I caught the most!"
Shen Bei watched the four of them collectively showing off, and some of it was unbearable.
He tugged on a rope.
And pulled out a full twenty Otherworlder captives from the bushes!
Shen Bei said with a calm expression, "It's a complete failure. Besides capturing the leader alive, I only caught this many Otherworlders. What a failure. In this kind of chicken-catching situation, if you don't catch twenty, are you even a Martial Artist? Do you even have the face to live?"
Zha Tian Gang: ...
Holy crab!
He's a damn freak!
Their eyeballs were about to pop out.
One must know that the main task of the four was to catch lone Otherworlders.
And Shen Bei's task was to capture the leader alive.
Not only did he overfulfill his task, but he also caught more Otherworlder captives than they did!
How embarrassing!
Compared to him, they felt like trash.
Qi Chuanyu smacked his lips, "I think the reason this mission was so successful is because we cooperated well."
This reason received unanimous approval from the other three.
Shen Bei scoffed, too lazy to argue with them, "Hurry up, gather all the captives, we need to go back."
The Zha Tian Gang got busy again.
They tied up all the captives and, like herding cattle and sheep, advanced towards Qianjin Camp.
Du Ziteng also pulled back the cart carrying the Black Bat, hitched it to an Otherworlder, and made him pull it.
Their important task at this time was to keep an eye on the Otherworlders and prevent them from speaking or shouting, so as not to attract Otherworlders from other directions to rescue them.
As long as someone spoke, Shen Bei would savagely beat the leader, immediately giving him a barrage of slaps that sent his teeth flying!
The leader was beaten into a daze.
Others spoke, why beat me!
But his hands and legs were completely glued, making it impossible to resist. He could only squeak and wail a few times to make the Otherworlders quiet down.
As they traveled.
They got closer and closer to Qianjin Camp.
Fifteen kilometers.
Ten kilometers.
Eight kilometers.
Five kilometers.
Just then.
Du Ziteng, who was leading the way at the front, suddenly shouted:
"Captain! It's me, don't shoot!"
