22: With overwhelming divine power, he killed the elite ice-armored beast in one blow!
"You don't need to fight it to the death. Just lure it far enough away to buy us time to deal with the remaining two."
Mo Yan's tone was calm, carrying an undeniable decisiveness.
"I'll have Gun Gun meet you on your retreat path. Your mission is to lure the monster away, and then make sure you come back alive!"
Hearing that the Lord had not only devised a meticulous strategy but also arranged for Gun Gun, a hero unit, to provide support, Wang Wu's taut nerves relaxed slightly.
He nodded vigorously: "Yes, My Lord! I guarantee the mission will be completed!"
Mo Yan nodded, his gaze turning to the Soldiers waiting behind the ice hill for orders.
Their faces were a mix of tension and a desperate Battle Intent, the veins on the backs of their hands gripping their weapons bulging.
"Listen up!" Mo Yan's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached every Soldier's ear.
All the Soldiers' spirits lifted.
"Wang Wu, lure the leftmost one, head east, and pull it away at all costs!"
"The rest of you split into two teams, eleven men per team, led by a veteran, and prepare to engage the Elite Ice Armor Beasts in the middle and on the right!"
"Remember, their defense is very strong! Don't clash head-on, use shields to block, long spears to harass, and dodge their frontal charges!"
"Gun Gun!" Mo Yan's gaze fell to his feet.
The little guy was already clutching the emerald bamboo tightly, his small face full of seriousness, his black and white eyes fixed on the front, subtly revealing a hint of Evil Qi.
"You stay by my side, watch for the right moment, and hit it with all your might!"
"Gulu!" Gun Gun nodded vigorously, clutching the bamboo even tighter with his small paws.
Mo Yan scanned the crowd: "Is everyone clear?"
"Clear!" The Soldiers responded in low voices, Killing Intent beginning to permeate the air.
The air here made Mo Yan's thoughts incredibly clear.
"Act!"
As soon as the order was given, Wang Wu's figure, like the most agile leopard, suddenly darted out from behind the ice hill.
He charged towards the leftmost Elite Ice Armor Beast.
He stopped about a hundred meters from the Ice Armor Beast, drew his bow, and nocked an arrow.
Whoosh!
An arrow accurately shot towards the Ice Armor Beast's eye.
Clang!
The arrow was deflected.
"Roar!" The Elite Ice Armor Beast was enraged by this provocation, letting out a muffled roar, and began to pursue Wang Wu with heavy steps.
Seeing this, Wang Wu immediately turned and ran east.
At the same time, he kept looking back and shooting arrows, maintaining a dangerous yet hate-attracting distance.
"Now! Go!" Mo Yan shouted in a low voice.
He was the first to rush out of cover, his Frost Sword pointing directly at the Ice Armor Beast in the middle.
Twenty-two Soldiers followed closely, tacitly dividing into two teams, moving to engage the targets in the middle and on the right.
"Kill!"
The battle erupted instantly!
Thump! Thump!
The heavy thuds of the Soldiers' shields colliding with the Ice Armor Beasts blended into one continuous sound.
The strength of the Elite Ice Armor Beast far surpassed that of an ordinary Ice Armor Beast.
In the first charge, several Soldiers were sent reeling, their Qi and blood churning, staggering back, and their formation nearly collapsed!
The strength of the Elite Ice Armor Beast far surpassed that of an ordinary Ice Armor Beast.
"Hold the line! Stab its joints!" The veteran roared hoarsely, directing the Soldiers to use their long spears to attack weak points.
Pfft! Pfft!
The long spears vigorously stabbed at the Ice Armor Beast's leg joints and the gaps in its abdominal carapace.
Sparks flew!
Most attacks were repelled by the hard, dark blue ice armor.
Only a few long spears barely pierced the surface, drawing a few drops of dark blue blood, causing minimal damage.
The Elite Ice Armor Beast roared, its massive claws sweeping across, bringing with them a tearing wind.
A Soldier, unable to dodge in time, had his shield struck by the giant claw, and he was sent flying, shield and all.
He rolled a few times in the snow, struggling to get up.
"Cover him! Drag him back!" The squad leader urgently shouted.
The nearby Soldiers immediately stepped forward, using their shields to block the Ice Armor Beast's pursuit, and dragged their injured comrade back behind the front line.
Mo Yan held his Frost Sword, Spiritual Qi circulating within him, pouring into the sword, making the cold Qi on the blade even more intense.
He constantly moved around the Ice Armor Beast, looking for an opportunity.
Clang!
He slashed his sword at the Ice Armor Beast's forelimb joint.
The blade collided with the ice armor, producing a harsh metallic scraping sound.
It only left a white mark slightly deeper than that of a long spear.
The frost effect triggered!
The Ice Armor Beast's movement paused for a moment, and a layer of white frost condensed at its joint.
"As expected, its defense is astonishing!" Mo Yan's eyes were grave.
Even with the rare-grade Frost Sword and his Spiritual Qi enhancement, he could only barely achieve this much.
He dared not directly receive any of the Ice Armor Beast's attacks.
He could only rely on his speed and the precognitive ability brought by Spiritual Energy Induction, constantly dodging and attacking the same spot.
Just then.
The Ice Armor Beast entangled with the other team of Soldiers suddenly became enraged, abruptly standing upright.
Its two massive claws, covered in thick ice, clasped together and smashed down fiercely!
Thump!
The two Soldiers in the front row, men and shields alike, were directly smashed into the snow.
Their shields instantly twisted and deformed, and both men simultaneously spat out fresh blood, instantly losing their combat ability!
A gap appeared in the defensive line!
"Gun Gun, now!" Mo Yan saw the Ice Armor Beast's slow movement and shouted sharply.
Gun Gun, who had been closely following Mo Yan, seemingly watching the battle nervously, heard Mo Yan's shout, and his bright black eyes instantly burst forth with astonishing light.
He locked onto the Elite Ice Armor Beast that had just unleashed its attack, revealing a brief opening!
His small body erupted with astonishing speed, his black and white figure transforming into an afterimage, instantly rushing to the front of the Ice Armor Beast!
"Gun Gun, hit!"
He roared in a childish voice, raising the emerald bamboo high, and with all his might, smashed it fiercely towards the Ice Armor Beast's soft underbelly.
Soaring Sky Strike!
This time, the green light flowing on the bamboo was even brighter and more dazzling than when he killed the Frost Spider last time!
Bang!!!
A muffled thud, like a giant hammer striking an iceberg, reverberated, making people's eardrums tingle.
The abdomen of that Elite Ice Armor Beast was visibly dented inward by a large amount from Gun Gun's strike!
"Roar—!!!"
The Elite Ice Armor Beast let out an extremely painful roar, its massive body trembled violently, and its movements completely froze.
Dark blue blood mixed with fragments of internal organs surged wildly from its mouth and nose!
"Well done, Gun Gun." Mo Yan's heart trembled.
The power of Gun Gun's strike far exceeded his expectations!
"Now! Focus fire!"
The veteran reacted extremely quickly, seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and immediately roared out the command.
The Soldiers' morale soared, and several long spears, like venomous snakes striking, pierced with extreme precision into the Ice Armor Beast's abdominal wound.
Pfft!
That Elite Ice Armor Beast wildly twisted its massive body a few times, its movements finally slowing down, and with a thunderous crash, it fell onto the snow.
Raising a large cloud of snow, it twitched a few times before completely losing its breath.
The first Elite Ice Armor Beast was successfully killed.
Gun Gun's astonishing strike instantly turned the tide of the battle!
However, before everyone could catch their breath...
The Ice Armor Beast entangled with Mo Yan...
And the one in the distance that Wang Wu had lured away, both seemed to sense the death of their comrade at the same time.
They simultaneously let out an even more ferocious, bloodthirsty roar!
What made Mo Yan's heart tighten even more was the faint sound of Wang Wu's urgent whistle from a distance.
That was a distress signal, indicating danger!
