117: Warriors should pay attention to pulling monsters

Due to their head start, Xia Yunyan ran at the very front, with several of her subordinates behind her.

Lu Tian罡 and his group followed close behind them.

Qin Shilei and his two companions brought up the rear.

After everyone had rushed into the bamboo forest, Qin Shilei shouted loudly, "How about we cooperate and kill all these Thunder Beasts?"

The people in front completely ignored Qin Shilei's suggestion.

Qin Shilei shouted again, "As long as we work together, these mere Thunder Beasts are nothing to worry about."

"Hmph!" Fan Xiaobo's voice carried over on the wind. "If you want to kill them, then kill them. Aren't you, Qin Shilei, very powerful? And the Thunder Beasts were even attracted by your companions, so you should be the one to kill them all."

Qin Shilei looked at the crowd running twenty to thirty meters ahead of him, his eyes turning cold as he muttered, "You all aren't seriously thinking that as long as you run faster than others, you can escape the Thunder Beasts, are you?"

"Then let's see who's fastest!"

Instant Step!

Qin Shilei's speed suddenly increased significantly. As he passed An Qian and her group, he reached out and grabbed the two women, swiftly chasing after the person in front like the wind.

He quickly overtook that person and continued to pursue Fan Xiaobo's group further ahead.

If An Qian and her group hadn't already used their acceleration skills, Qin Shilei and his companions could have been even faster.

At this point, his speed was also much faster than Fan Xiaobo's, and it looked like he would soon catch up to Fan Xiaobo and his group.

Just then, Qin Shilei's speed slowed down, but he still gradually closed the distance between himself and Fan Xiaobo.

Suddenly, Fan Xiaobo also activated his acceleration skill, instantly pulling ahead by more than ten meters again.

"Ah!"

The last unlucky person was caught. Before he could even resist, he was knocked to the ground and then trampled into a bloody mess.

Hearing the tragic scream from behind, Fan Xiaobo spared a glance back and saw that Qin Shilei was almost upon him.

Once caught, his group would be the ones running at the very back.

Fan Xiaobo's expression changed, and he quickly shouted, "I've thought about it, and I think Qin Shilei's suggestion is excellent. If we keep running around aimlessly and attract more Thunder Beasts, I'm afraid no one will escape."

At this moment, two of Fan Xiaobo's subordinates, due to their strength, had already fallen behind. Their eyes darted around, and they each fled in different directions.

But even though they were clever, they hadn't run far before three or four Thunder Beasts split off and easily caught and killed them.

Fan Xiaobo watched Qin Shilei getting closer and closer, with the pack of Thunder Beasts hot on his heels, while Lu Tian罡 and his group still hadn't responded to his suggestion.

With a ruthless resolve, a surge of cold air appeared in his hand, and he then waved it at the ground behind him.

A thin layer of ice appeared on the ground.

"Be careful!"

Qin Shilei called out a warning to the two women. At the same time, he stomped his right foot forcefully, digging a small pit in the ground, using the leverage to pull the two women over the icy area.

Ice Seal!

Fan Xiaobo, in for a penny, in for a pound, directly threw a series of ice arrows at Qin Shilei and his two companions behind him.

He didn't aim to kill Qin Shilei and his group, only to hinder their steps, allowing the Thunder Beasts behind to catch up to them. That way, he could not only escape the Thunder Beasts' pursuit but even use them to eliminate the major threat that was Qin Shilei.

"You're asking for death!"

Qin Shilei pointed his left hand forward, and several lightning bolts intercepted the ice arrows one by one.

Thousand Vine Technique!

Zhang Xiaoli waved her hand, and ten thick vines instantly wrapped around Fan Xiaobo and his subordinate.

Fan Xiaobo staggered, nearly falling to the ground.

In a panic, several sharp ice blades emerged from his palm, quickly cutting through the vines as he prepared to continue fleeing.

However, by this time, Qin Shilei and his group had already passed him, and the pack of Thunder Beasts had already trampled Fan Xiaobo's subordinate to death and were catching up.

The dozens of Thunder Beasts immediately split into two, with thirty to forty Thunder Beasts surrounding Fan Xiaobo, and the other thirty to forty continuing to chase Qin Shilei and his group.

Qin Shilei spared a glance back and saw Fan Xiaobo rushing left and right, but he was still unable to escape the Thunder Beasts' encirclement.

After running another few hundred meters, Lu Tian罡 and Hua Feng simultaneously spoke, "Qin Shilei, let's stop and kill the Thunder Beasts. What do you think?"

"Alright." Qin Shilei replied with a simple word. Only after seeing their steps slow down did he also gradually stop.

Everyone took out their weapons and turned to face the charging Thunder Beasts.

At this point, the Thunder Beasts were also closing in within twenty to thirty meters.

Qin Shilei grabbed An Qian, who was about to charge forward with her sword, and said with a smile, "Use your Blazing Star to blow them up."

He himself also took out a short bow and rapidly shot arrow after arrow at the pack of Thunder Beasts.

Lu Tian罡's weapon was a large saber, Xie Xingjian's was a long spear, and Xia Yunyan's was an exquisite dagger.

They were all melee warriors, and when Qin Shilei agreed to join forces against the enemy, they had already rushed towards the Thunder Beasts with their weapons in hand.

Now they found Qin Shilei playing with a bow and arrow, and suddenly felt as if they had been tricked.

But before they could hesitate whether to retreat, some of the Thunder Beasts had already condensed lightning and unleashed it.

Lu Tian罡 and his group had no choice but to use their unique skills to try and block the lightning, and accelerate their charge towards the Thunder Beast pack.

While shooting arrows, Qin Shilei deliberately lectured An Qian, "You shouldn't always think about charging in recklessly. In this situation, using the area-of-effect Blazing Star is more suitable than using your sword."

An Qian rolled her eyes at Qin Shilei, but nodded firmly in agreement, "You are absolutely right."

Zhang Xiaoli chuckled softly, "Indeed, very right. We mages should hide behind the warriors and output damage."

@##@#@$%

Listening to Qin Shilei and their conversation, Lu Tian罡 and his group were about to reprimand Qin Shilei, but they were struck by one lightning bolt after another, rendering them unable to speak.

With their strength, they wouldn't die, but the three of them were electrocuted into a sorry state.

Their hair stood on end, like a bunch of non-mainstream explosion hairstyles.

"Oh no!"

Lu Tian罡 hadn't expected a large group of Thunder Beasts releasing electricity together to be so terrifying. He felt his whole body numb and called out bitterly in his heart as he faced the charging Thunder Beasts.

Am I going to die here today?

Just then, a scorching fireball exploded in the middle of the Thunder Beasts, instantly disrupting their offensive.

Then, thick vines separately wrapped around the first few Thunder Beasts that were running at the front.

Caught off guard, those Thunder Beasts stumbled and fell to the ground one after another.

"Kill!" Accompanied by Qin Shilei's sharp shout, countless sharp arrows shot towards the Thunder Beasts' weak points.

Seeing this opportune moment, Lu Tian罡 and his group also suppressed their physical discomfort and charged valiantly towards the Thunder Beasts that had fallen to the ground.

After they had slain five Thunder Beasts that were bound by vines, the remaining Thunder Beasts surrounded them all at once, and the situation instantly became precarious again.

Although Qin Shilei's bow and arrows were exquisitely crafted, due to their attack power, he only barely managed to kill one Thunder Beast.

On the contrary, An Qian's Blazing Star achieved a miraculous feat, burning the pack of Thunder Beasts and making them wail loudly.

This drew more than ten Thunder Beasts to charge towards Qin Shilei's side.

Qin Shilei shouted loudly, "Lu Tian罡, you warriors need to pay attention to aggro management."

Seeing that Lu Tian罡 and his group had no energy to reply, he could only say with a bitter expression, "What a miserable fate. I, an archer, actually have to engage in close combat with the enemy."

After speaking, he put away his short bow, took out his Blood Soul, and charged forward.
