31: Chapter 31 Gray Hyena

The grey shadow was entangled by the spiderweb, thrown to the ground, and struggled desperately.

Only then did everyone see clearly.

It was an Armor Beast that looked like a grey wild dog, about half a meter long, with sharp fangs exposed in its mouth, growling at them.

Lin Fan scanned it with his left eye, and the information appeared again.

【Race】: Grey Hyena Hound

【Aptitude】: Mortal Spirit Low-grade (Cap: Mortal Spirit Mid-grade)

【Rank】: Rank 4

【Attribute】: Earth

【Skills】: Bite, Howl (Summon Companions)

【Current Status】: Hungry, highly aggressive, has issued a summoning signal.

【Evaluation】: One of the most common low-level Armor Beasts in the Secret Realm, a gregarious animal. Usually moves in groups of 5-20. This one in front of us is just a scout; the main force is on its way. Recommendation: Retreat immediately.

Lin Fan frowned and shouted hurriedly.

"Forget about this one, retreat quickly."

Liu Xiaoman glanced at him, a trace of disdain at the corner of her mouth.

"Retreat? You want me to retreat because of a little Rank 4 thing?"

She retracted her right hand, her five fingers moving gently, and the purple silk thread at her fingertips trembled slightly.

The Grey Hyena Hound entangled by the spiderweb was lifted into the air, suspended in mid-air, its four legs kicking desperately, but it could not move.

"I am Rank 14, and it is Rank 4. I could kill it with my eyes closed."

Lin Fan pointed to the Grey Hyena Hound.

"It just let out a cry. That was a signal to summon companions."

Liu Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Summon companions? You mean to say it has other Armor Beast accomplices?"

Liu Xiaoman laughed even louder.

"Lin Fan, you are too timid. Even if it has accomplices, how strong could they be? A group of Rank 3 or 4 little dogs—I can catch as many as come with one web each."

She looked at Chen Menger.

"What do you think?"

Chen Menger hesitated and didn't speak.

Although she also felt they should be careful, what Liu Xiaoman said made sense.

Even if this Grey Hyena Hound had companions, how many could there be?

Xu Ziyan said in a low voice.

"How about... we listen to Lin Fan? He..."

Before Xu Ziyan could finish speaking, Liu Xiaoman glared at him.

"Shut up!"

Xu Ziyan shrank his neck, not daring to speak again.

Lin Fan sighed.

"Fine, you're strong. Then go ahead and fight."

He took two steps back, leaned against a tree nearby, and put his hands in his pockets, looking like he was watching a show.

Liu Xiaoman snorted coldly and looked at the Grey Hyena Hound suspended in mid-air.

"Let's deal with this one first."

She pulled her five fingers in, and the silk thread at her fingertips tightened.

The spiderweb tightened instantly, and the Grey Hyena Hound let out a shrill howl from the constriction.

"It's useless to howl." Liu Xiaoman's mouth curled up.

Just as she finished speaking, rustling sounds suddenly came from the surrounding bushes.

Pairs of ghostly green eyes lit up in the shadows.

One.

Five.

Fifteen.

...

Dense numbers of Grey Hyena Hounds emerged from all directions, surrounding them tightly.

The smallest were Rank 3, the largest were Rank 5.

But the number was more than thirty.

Liu Xiaoman's smile froze on her face.

"This... so many?"

Chen Menger's face turned pale, and she subconsciously took a step back.

Although Sun Wei didn't make a sound, his shoulders were clearly tighter.

Xu Ziyan hugged the Snow Spirit Fox, his legs already starting to shake.

Lin Fan leaned against the tree, his hands still in his pockets, looking detached and aloof.

Liu Xiaoman gritted her teeth, raised her right hand, and aimed the launcher at the nearest Grey Hyena Hound.

Whoosh!

A spiderweb shot out and covered the Grey Hyena Hound.

But several others nearby immediately pounced.

"Damn it!"

Liu Xiaoman fired repeatedly, spiderwebs flying out one after another, covering four or five of them in succession.

But there were too many Grey Hyena Hounds, and her firing speed couldn't keep up at all.

"Chen Menger! Sun Wei! What are you still standing there for!"

Chen Menger took a deep breath, and a cyan light flashed on her right leg.

Her right leg was instantly covered by a layer of light cyan feathers, and two thin, cicada-wing-like wind wings extended from her ankles, making her feel a bit lighter.

Swift Swallow, Armor Transformation part: Legs.

Her figure flashed, turning into an afterimage, and she rushed into the pack of Grey Hyena Hounds.

A Grey Hyena Hound pounced on her; she dodged to the side and swept her right leg horizontally.

A Wind Blade shot out from the sole of her foot, hitting the abdomen of the Grey Hyena Hound squarely.

The Grey Hyena Hound screamed and flew backward.

But more Grey Hyena Hounds surrounded her.

Sun Wei also moved.

He let out a low shout, and his left arm was instantly covered with a layer of thick, brown carapace. His arm grew two sizes thicker, and the surface was covered with uneven textures.

Iron Armor Rhino, Armor Transformation part: Arm.

He rushed to Chen Menger's side, bent his left arm, and tanked the bites of two Grey Hyena Hounds head-on.

The teeth of the Grey Hyena Hounds bit onto the carapace, leaving only a few white marks.

"Get lost!"

Sun Wei shook his arms, and the two Grey Hyena Hounds were shaken away.

Lin Fan leaned against the tree, his left eye heating up slightly as he scanned Sun Wei.

【Race】: Iron Armor Rhino

【Aptitude】: Mortal Spirit Mid-grade (Cap: Mystic Spirit Low-grade)

【Rank】: Rank 9

【Armor Transformation Part】: Both arms

【Armor Transformation Skills】: Iron Armor Defense (significantly increases arm defense), Charge (linear impact, greater force).

【Current Status】: Spirit power full, Battle Intent stable.

【Evaluation】: Standard tank-type Armor Spirit, good defense, but too slow, easily kited.

He looked at Chen Menger again.

【Race】: Swift Swallow

【Aptitude】: Mortal Spirit High-grade (Cap: Mystic Spirit Mid-grade)

【Rank】: Rank 9

【Armor Transformation Part】: Legs

【Armor Transformation Skills】: Swift Step (significantly increases movement speed), Wind Blade (Wind Blade attack from the legs).

【Current Status】: Spirit power full, slightly nervous.

【Evaluation】: Speed-type Armor Spirit, high mobility, but insufficient attack power, suitable for guerrilla harassment.

After reading, Lin Fan had an idea in his mind.

Sun Wei was a tank and could take hits.

Chen Menger was an assassin, could run and harass.

Liu Xiaoman was crowd control, could restrain.

Logically, if these three people coordinated well, thirty Grey Hyena Hounds wouldn't be impossible to fight.

The problem was—they had no coordination at all.

Liu Xiaoman only cared about firing spiderwebs and didn't notice the positions of Sun Wei and Chen Menger at all.

Her spiderwebs almost covered the two of them several times.

Sun Wei only knew how to take hits head-on; being surrounded and bitten by four or five Grey Hyena Hounds, cracks had already appeared on his carapace.

Chen Menger could run fast, but her Wind Blade power was too small; hitting the Grey Hyena Hounds didn't hurt or itch at all, only able to knock them back, not kill them.

Three minutes passed.

Only seven or eight Grey Hyena Hounds had fallen, and there were more than twenty left.

And Liu Xiaoman's Spirit power had already been consumed by more than half, and her firing speed had slowed down significantly.

The cracks on Sun Wei's carapace were increasing, and a Grey Hyena Hound took advantage of him raising his arm to bite his forearm, which was not covered by the carapace.

"Sss!"

Sun Wei gasped, blood flowing down.

Chen Menger wanted to go over to help, but was entangled by three Grey Hyena Hounds and couldn't get away.

Liu Xiaoman's face turned pale, gritting her teeth to continue firing spiderwebs, but her accuracy was already gone; several webs missed.

A Grey Hyena Hound circled behind her and pounced fiercely!

"Watch out!" Sun Wei shouted.

Liu Xiaoman looked back, her pupils shrinking.

It was too late.
