After cultivating all night, Wang Xu was still savoring the lingering taste of the "Sword Romance," immersed in the world of blades, without feeling the slightest fatigue.
"Hmm? A call from the leader?"
Wang Xu opened the communication, and Jin Tun's face appeared on the screen.
"Wang Xu, tomorrow we will take on a B-level mission. This time our opponent is a Tier Six Insect Beast, so be prepared," Jin Tun said.
"No problem."
After closing the communication, Wang Xu stopped cultivating, took a bath, changed clothes, and started purchasing the necessary potions and tools at the Warband Mall.
......
"Remember, our task this time is to kill five 'Unicorn Beetles.' Unicorn Beetles have a super strong defense shell, comparable to S-level armor." Jin Tun shared the intel with everyone.
S-level armor!
Everyone gasped and exchanged looks. To move an S-level armor, at least S-level weapons would be needed. But in their entire battle group, except for Jin Tun's Alloy Shield, which was S-level, all the others were A-level weapons, not even enough to break the Unicorn Beetle's defense.
Wang Xu clenched his fist. S-level armor wasn't much of an issue for him; Xu Zhou, dressed in S-level armor, fought against him and eventually had the armor's durability worn down by his two thousand kilogram force.
"Red Eye, later use thermal weapons from a distance to distract the Unicorn Beetle. Once it goes into a berserk state and is ready to charge, attack its eyes immediately."
"I'll be the distraction for the Unicorn Beetle. You just need to lock onto its limbs and direct all attacks on the same spot. No matter how hard the Unicorn Beetle's shell is, it will wear down!"
Jin Tun laid out his strategy. Everyone nodded, having no objections.
"Alright! Let's move out!"
The group grandly boarded a train heading to the region where the Unicorn Beetles were located.
"Boss, they've left the battle group base." As soon as Wang Xu and others left, the bespectacled man Bai Bi immediately received the intel.
Lei Beng abruptly stood up, and said fiercely, "Let's go, today is the day Wang Xu dies!"
......
The Unicorn Beetle was huge, over two meters tall. Its body was like a moving iron tower, with its blackand eerie shell reflecting a steel-like shine.
Crash!
A large tree fell with a boom, smashing onto the Unicorn Beetle's back. Its body shuddered, instantly breaking the trunk into dust without leaving the slightest trace.
"The hardness of this shell is indeed incredible." Observing this from afar, Wang Xu and the others couldn't help but marvel.
"Red Eye, get ready to attract the Unicorn Beetle at ten o'clock direction," Jin Tun instructed.
On an abandoned building three kilometers away from where Jin Tun was, Red Eye lifted the Light Explosion Gun, aimed at a Unicorn Beetle, and gently pulled the trigger.
Bam!
A barely audible gunshot sounded, and a red Explosive Bullet shot towards the Unicorn Beetle!
"Moo!" The Unicorn Beetle's eye was hit by the Explosive Bullet, but it didn't explode. Not only was the Unicorn Beetle's shell terrifyingly hard, but its eyeballs were the same. It let out an angry roar, its bloodthirsty eyes scanning all around and quickly locked onto Jin Tun and the others not far away.
"Scatter!" Jin Tun ordered, Black Whip Blue Sword dispersed to the left, while Wang Xu and Red Axe ran to the right, Jin Tun raised the Alloy Shield, standing against the Unicorn Beetle.
The Unicorn Beetle's eyes glowed scarlet, from its bull-like nostrils spewed white mist, and its hoof-like limbs stomped the ground before the whole body maddeningly charged towards Jin Tun!
Bang!
A loud crash resounded, Jin Tun was forced back two steps by the Unicorn Beetle's massive force, yet it was also bounced back by the recoil of the Alloy Shield.
Now is the time!
Blades and Sword Shadows fell from the sky, with Wang Xu and others enveloping the Unicorn Beetle from both wings!
Clang clang clang...
All attacks seemed to hit incredibly hard steel, leaving only barely noticeable minor scratches on the Unicorn Beetle's shell.
"Such strong defense!" Jin Tun's expression changed, then he swiftly charged forwards, using the shield to strike the Unicorn Beetle to attract its attention.
Wang Xu and others split up once more, ready to launch the second attack at any moment.
"Moo!" The Unicorn Beetle was utterly furious after being targeted at once, its black and eerie steel shell started to glow red.
It's going into a berserk state!
"Red Eye!" Jin Tun shouted.
Boom!
Another Explosive Bullet shot, once again hitting the Unicorn Beetle's left eye.
Wang Xu and the others pounced on it again, attacks falling like raindrops on the Unicorn Beetle's limbs.
This time the attacks were more concentrated, creating tiny cracks on the Unicorn Beetle's shell.
"Good, just like that!" Jin Tun revealed a joyful expression, once again closing in to divert the Unicorn Beetle's attention...
The group repeatedly used this strategy, trapping the Unicorn Beetle in place, unable to escape. Every time it tried to enter a berserk state, an Explosive Bullet would interrupt it, completely entangling it.
Though the Unicorn Beetle's defense was formidable, its attack power and speed were lacking, leaving it helpless as Jin Tun and others continued to press the offensive.
Crash!
After an hour, nearly fifty repeated strong assaults finally shattered the steel shell on the two bull-like insect feet of the Unibull Insect Beast!
Wang Xu and the others showed a look of delight on their faces, having spent nearly an hour, finally opening a breakthrough.
"Good! Next, everyone concentrate your attacks on the shattered area of the shell!"
There was no need for Jin Tun to instruct; everyone already knew what to do.
A moment later.
"Boom!" The Unibull Insect Beast was covered in wounds, blood streaming everywhere, and its massive body fell to the ground with a thunderous crash.
"Rest for ten minutes, then search for the second one!"
After almost an hour of grinding, they finally took down the Unibull Insect Beast. The members of the Red Flame Battle Group seized this brief moment to sit down instantly, take their Nutritional Supplements, and rest to recover their physical strength.
......
"Boss, they've started killing the third Unibull Insect Beast. Should we make a move?"
Several dozen kilometers away, the Thunder Battle Group was crouched inside an abandoned building, observing every move of the Red Flame Battle Group with long-range thermal binoculars.
"Not yet." Lei Beng waved his hand, "They still have the strength now. Wait until they kill the fifth one; by then, their long-range support will likely be nearly depleted, and our chances will be greater then."
"Yes, big brother!"
......
Bam!
Another loud noise, and Jin Tun's body was pushed back several meters, almost crashing into a tree trunk.
Having continuously killed three Unibull Insect Beasts over four to five hours, even with an S-Level Alloy Shield reducing most of the force, Jin Tun's physical strength was still near exhaustion.
Wang Xu and the others charged again, attacking the Unibull Insect Beast furiously, and the already cracked wounds instantly widened before they ruptured with a "crash".
"Kill!" Jin Tun's spirit was uplifted, and he charged again, holding the Alloy Shield.
The shell of the Unibull Insect Beast slightly reddened, wanting to enter a berserk state, yet this time, no Explosive Bullets came flying.
"Big brother, we're out of bullets!" Red Eye's voice came through the Light Computer.
Jin Tun's face changed. At this critical moment, running out of bullets meant they could only watch helplessly as the Unibull Insect Beast entered a berserk state.
In its berserk state, the Unibull Insect Beast's defense would double, and its attack power would also increase. They wouldn't stand a chance against a frenzied Unibull Insect Beast!
Not just Jin Tun, upon hearing they were out of bullets, everyone else widened their eyes too.
"Damn! This is bad!"
The Unibull Insect Beast's shell became increasingly red, its whole body transforming into a bloody hue, and the white mist spewing from its nostrils turned into flames, its scarlet eyes blazing like searing red lights, exuding bloodthirsty frenzy!
"Retreat! Quickly!" Jin Tun ordered.
Everyone retreated swiftly; the defense of a berserk Unibull Insect Beast was even stronger, and pressing attacks would be futile at this point.
"Wang Xu, what are you doing, retreat now!" Suddenly, Jin Tun noticed one figure still lingering around the Unibull Insect Beast, and he immediately shouted.
Wang Xu turned a deaf ear, while everyone else in the Light Computer shouted for him to retreat, he directly blocked the communication.
Gripping the Blood Bone Giant Saber, Wang Xu's expression turned cold. He had been attacking the Unibull Insect Beast with the Red Flame Battle Group all day, never using his full strength.
But now that the Unibull Insect Beast had entered a berserk state, if he continued to hide his strength, the team's hard work over so long would be completely wasted.
"Moo!"
At this point, the Unibull Insect Beast's berserk state was nearing its end, its whole body was permeated with blood-red, the entire figure seemed steeped in dye, alive and transformed into a blood-red beast.
Its gaze was bloodthirsty and frenzied, expelling high flames from its nostrils. Seeing Wang Xu walking towards it, it raised its blood-red horn fiercely, dashing forward with bull-like hooves in a mad charge!
"Wang Xu!" Everyone exclaimed, Jin Tun's face was grim, he picked up the Alloy Shield and rushed forward, intending to help Wang Xu block the blow, but his speed wasn't enough.
Wang Xu's gaze sharpened, lifting the Blood Bone Giant Saber fiercely!
The Seventh Column: Violent Thunder Strike!
Bam!
At the instant the blood-red horn of the Unibull Insect Beast touched Wang Xu, Wang Xu sidestepped, perfectly dodging the beast's charge, and the Blood Bone Giant Saber slammed brutally onto the beast's eyes!
"Moo!" The Unibull Insect Beast let out a tragic howl, the two-thousand-kilogram force directly turned its eyeball to fragments, and the blood-red across its body suddenly faded.
The berserk state, terminated!
Seeing this scene, Jin Tun and others were all stunned.
The reason for using Explosive Bullets to attack the left eye of the Unibull Insect Beast was that the instant the bullet made contact, it could explode with tremendous force, interrupting the beast's berserk state.
That tremendous force was at least fifteen thousand kilograms, and none present could produce such terrifying strength!
Yet, Wang Xu, with just one swing, shattered the Unibull Insect Beast's eyeball into pieces. The force of that swing was at least twenty thousand kilograms!
