77: Chapter 77 Slaughtering the Terrain Dog

"Tch! Another terrain dog." Gu Han curled his lips.

[Stepping on the Waves] "How can you talk like that! Isn't financial power a part of strength? Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for killing you all!"

Gu Han ignored her, merely feeling a pity in his heart. If that batch of electric Hidden-Armor Ant-Man had matured, he could have instantly killed this terrain dog.

If it weren't for the Ant-Fist Shrimp-Man being amphibious, he might have really fallen into her hands this round. Fortunately, the opponent's strength wasn't too overpowered; the highest was only a Tier 3 Believer.

The Hidden-Armor Ant-Man had already secretly attempted an attack, but it had no effect. The Merman was surrounded by a layer of flowing water protecting its body; the Hidden-Armor Ant-Man were too small, and the resistance in the water was too great, so they were washed away by the water waves before they could get close enough to assassinate.

The opponent's nearly ten thousand Merman believers raised the tridents in their hands.

Streams of small magical water curtains shot up into the sky, precisely striking the Black-Armored Ant-men circling high above. The Black-Armored Ant-men were still clutching the Shield-Armored Ant-Men, their wings flapping so hard they were practically smoking, dodging the water curtain attacks with extreme peril.

If hit by the water curtains, they wouldn't die immediately, but their wings would get wet. Once in the water, they would be unable to fly again and could only be at their mercy.

"It's just the end of your rope. I'll make you regret cursing me!" The opponent immediately issued a divine oracle. "Collective chanting! Sea Tornado!"

The water curtains around the Merman tribe surged, and they chanted in their mouths. The originally calm sea surface began to spin violently, and a whirlpool slowly formed, as if a giant hand were pulling the vortex out of the sea. The Sea Tornado soared upward, seemingly connecting to the sky.

Gu Han carefully observed the tactical situation. The Sea Tornado was still charging up, its volume only about the size of ten people embracing. But if it dragged on, it would get bigger and bigger, and the Black-Armored Ant-men would have nowhere to escape.

The Ant-men couldn't even fight back. The volume of the Sea Tornado grew larger and larger, and the wind it generated blew many Black-Armored Ant-men around, making it impossible for them to escape anymore.

[Stepping on the Waves] "Heh! It's over! You're already crying in anxiety."

"It is over." Gu Han snapped his fingers.

Under the water surface, streaks of dark golden afterimages suddenly darted out.

"Bang! Bang bang..."

Explosive sounds rang out, accompanied by patches of blood mist bursting forth one after another, like ignited red firecrackers, with flashes of light and red debris flying everywhere.

The War-Marked Ant-Fist Shrimp-Men rode the lifting force of the water current, instantly closing in. Their speed in the water was actually faster than on land.

"What is that? There's an ambush underwater!" The opponent screamed.

It was too late! The opponent's attention had been entirely on the sky.

They didn't realize at all that the Ant-Fist Shrimp-Man had gills.

Those twenty thousand Ant-Fist Shrimp-Man that seemed to be drowning and sinking at the start were actually sticking close to the seabed, quietly approaching the location of these Merman tribes. When they suddenly attacked, the Merman couldn't react at all.

The heavy fists of the War-Marked Ant-Fist Shrimp-Men were completely unimpeded underwater. One punch unleashed, combined with the water pressure, smashed onto the Merman; the water wave protection was just a mere formality in the face of absolute power.

In just five seconds.

Thousands of Merman were killed on the spot, and the blood instantly dyed the sea surface red. The remaining Merman who reacted scattered like birds and beasts.

The chanting for the Sea Tornado was interrupted, and the water tornado connecting the sky and sea suddenly twisted, disintegrating and collapsing like a wild, thrashing tentacle.

At the same time.

The Black-Armored Ant-men in the sky released their claws.

Tens of thousands of Shield-Armored Ant-Men turned into free-falling cannonballs, carrying whistling wind sounds, smashing fiercely toward the sea surface.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Huge splashes shot into the sky; the hard shells of the Shield-Armored Ant-Men smashed directly through the Merman formation, and the moment they hit the water, they gripped the surrounding Merman tightly.

On the water surface, Shield-Armored Ant-Men kept smashing down to block them, and underwater, Ant-Fist Shrimp-Man were harvesting crazily. The Black-Armored Ant-men were responsible for rescuing the Shield-Armored Ant-Men and providing containment.

The Merman tribe completely lost their will to fight. The opponent was pale with fear at this moment, and since her skills were Water-type magic affinity, she decisively surrendered.

Facing arrogant terrain dogs, Gu Han never showed mercy; he refused the surrender and killed them with full force! Even as the opponent screamed and cursed out of control, Gu Han turned a deaf ear.

Some might say Gu Han has no chivalry, not letting them go even after they surrendered, and that bullying a woman is not what a real man does.

Not only did he not have that, but Gu Han particularly hated opponents who used an expensive terrain card for a single battle; he was even more determined to deal a lethal blow.

[Congratulations on winning this match. Current winning streak: nine matches.]

These terrain dogs who rely on throwing money to buy terrain cards to stack advantages have poor practical adaptability and are arrogant.

If we're talking about pressure, it's not even as good as that [Tyrannosaurus Warrior] from before. That guy's group weakness skill was indeed strong, but he was just unlucky to run into Gu Han too early.

Just one last match left, and he could clear the knockout stage.

The system notification rang out quickly.

[Match successful]

[Riding Grandma Across the Road] VS [Peak Sharpness]

The scene switched to an open plain.

Gu Han narrowed his eyes, his gaze sweeping across the plain toward the enemy camp opposite.

Level 4 Sapiens believers, about seventy people, clad in light armor, holding bows and arrows.

Three thousand Level 3 Sapiens, five thousand Level 2, and over ten thousand Level 1.

Shield-bearers in front, Spearmen in the middle, and Archers in the back.

"A very standard traditional multi-unit battle formation." Gu Han rubbed his chin.

This configuration was simply a low-spec version of Teacher Qin Lin.

Although the troop strength wasn't as great as Teacher Qin Lin's Orc army, the threat of those seventy Level 4 Believers could not be underestimated.

Once they stabilized their formation and withstood his charge, the lethality that the Tier 4 Archers could cause was undoubtedly high, and the Ant-men army would surely suffer heavy casualties.

Gu Han had originally thought about whether he could capture a few Sapiens alive to take back for germplasm, but now he dismissed the idea entirely.

Dealing with this kind of iron-barrel formation, one cannot be arrogant.

If he disrupted his rhythm just to catch a few live ones, or even overturned and lost the match, it would be truly not worth the loss.

"Must finish this quickly." Gu Han issued a divine oracle for a fast attack.

He had to take advantage of the fact that the opponent hadn't figured out the Ant-men's bottom line yet, and before they could even release their skills, it was best to cut off those seventy Level 4 Believers directly.

A piercing sound of flapping wings came from the sky.

Tens of thousands of Black-Armored Ant-men rose into the air, turning into a black cloud, swooping straight toward the opponent's back-row position.

[Peak Sharpness] saw this swarm of insects blocking out the sky, his expression tightened, and he immediately ordered: "Rear Archers, fire at a forty-five-degree angle! Don't worry about the sky, suppress the insects on the ground! Spearmen, retreat to defend against the air raid!"

This person had very rich practical combat experience, seeing at a glance that the ones in the sky were just harassment, and the real killer move must be on the ground. But he guessed Gu Han's playstyle wrong.

The Black-Armored Ant-men in the sky flew to the position above the Sapiens formation and didn't perform any attack actions at all. They directly folded their wings.

Tens of thousands of large-sized Black-Armored Ant-men fell vertically.

"Squish! Squish!"

The heavy insect bodies smashed directly into the Sapiens' formation. The Black-Armored Ant-men used the most primitive suicide attack, crashing into those Archers.

The Black-Armored Ant-men did not fear the Spearmen's attacks, kicking the spears aside with their legs and using their four arms to hold blades and shields to defend. Many Black-Armored Ant-men were pierced by spears, and the splashing green body fluid smeared the vision of the Archers and the surrounding Sapiens. The entire rear formation instantly fell into chaos.

"Damn! A suicide attack?"

The Battle-Marked Shield Ant-men on the ground had already formed a dense, sharp-cone formation, connecting the dark golden battle marks together, like a locomotive moving forward in unison.

No shouting, no roaring. The Shield-Armored Ant-Men braced against the falling rain of arrows, and with a violent posture, smashed directly into the Sapiens' front-line defense.

The teeth-aching sound of bones shattering resounded across the plain. The Sapiens' thick front-line shields instantly dented under the impact of the Ant-men, and hundreds of Tier 1 and Tier 2 Shield-bearers were directly knocked away by the huge kinetic energy, spitting blood.

The defense line was instantly torn open.

The following War-Marked Ant-Fist Shrimp-Men and ordinary Ant-Fist Shrimp-Man moved out simultaneously. They stepped on the backs of the Shield-Armored Ant-Men in front, leaped in a relay, and jumped high up.

Their target was directed straight at the Level 4 Sapiens in the rear.

This combo was exactly what Gu Han used when he defeated Teacher Qin Lin on the simulation terminal. Seeing the enemy approaching with weapons, the Level 4 Sapiens immediately put away their bows and arrows and drew the greatswords on their backs to block horizontally. Before they could see how the opponent attacked, they already felt pain in their bodies.

[Peak Sharpness]: "Is this all there is to it?" Apparently, the Ant-men's attacks were not enough to threaten the Level 4 Believers, letting him breathe a slight sigh of relief.

The Ant-Fist Shrimp-Man couldn't withstand the attacks of the Level 4 Believers either, so Gu Han arranged for the War-Marked Ant-Fist Shrimp-Men to close in and attack only in the second wave, striving for a one-hit kill. It wasn't until the War-Marked Ant-Fist Shrimp-Men closed in and the Level 4 Believers were killed by the combined attack that [Peak Sharpness] reacted. There was no time to feel heartache; he immediately activated his A-rank talent skill: [Time to Run]!
