Chapter 76: Chapter 60 The Team Battle Begins (Large Chapter combined 2-in-1, going live tomorrow!)

"Are we all willing to gather together tonight for a group battle, or continue fighting on our own?"

The team leader asked.

The marksman was the first to speak, "If the situation is really that dangerous, I’ll definitely stick with the team leader."

Ying also said, "That’s right, with the team leader’s care and command, our survival rate will be higher than others."

His brother, Sun, nodded in agreement.

"I agree," Xiao Baihong said with a smile.

That left Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode was new, but now that a bunch of veterans wanted to cling to the team leader’s coattails, he naturally knew what to do.

What team wouldn’t stick close to their leader?

Especially in such a dangerous situation—

"I share the same opinion," he said.

The team leader nodded, "Fighting together, of course, makes survival easier—"

"Since everyone agrees on sticking together, let’s each describe the type of environment we’re in."

"I’m on an island, roughly three hundred miles in circumference, very safe," Xiao Baihong said.

"That place won’t do, if we encounter a ’God’, there’d be no chance to escape," the team leader stated emphatically.

The others nodded in agreement.

"We’re wandering the Desolate plains in a heavy armored combat vehicle," Ying pointed between himself and Sun.

"The Desolate plains, huh, that’s an option," the team leader said.

"I’m in a city, mixing with the throngs of fleeing people, currently hiding in a large building," the marksman said.

"I’m in an underground bunker," said Wu Xiaode.

"A bunker?" they all asked in unison.

An underground bunker was naturally not very conspicuous, convenient for hiding, and also, because it was sturdy and deep underground, it wouldn’t be affected by powerful warfare erupting on the surface of the earth.

Wu Xiaode, seeing the hope in everyone’s eyes, quickly added:

"However, monsters have already breached the bunker, and there’s a particularly formidable snake."

"What kind of snake?" the team leader asked.

"It has a sharp horn, three vertical pupils, and I estimate it’s about a hundred meters long; its scales are bright and it can bewitch the minds of humans," Wu Xiaode described.

"Are its eyes red?" Ying immediately asked.

"Yes," Wu Xiaode confirmed.

"I know that snake; it’s consumed the people from several cities in the Desolate region before it moved on," Ying explained.

"Wait, you saw it, and you survived?" the marksman asked incredulously.

"The bunker has many secret passages; I hid in one of them and saw it through surveillance," Wu Xiaode said coolly.

"I see," Sun let out a sigh of relief.

"We can’t go there, absolutely not," the marksman shook his head.

"Right, only if we’re looking to die would we go to your place," Xiao Baihong said.

"So, the alternative descending points are the Desolate region, the city, and the mountain forest," the team leader stated.

"Are you in the mountain forest?" Sun asked.

"Yes, I’m frequently there, and Xiao Baihong has also joined me once—we’ve established a human settlement in that forest and I’ve built relationships with them," the team leader explained.

Everyone fell into thought, contemplating which location to choose.

"The city can be ruled out; I think those demons will target places with large populations first," Ying ventured.

No one objected.

This was precisely what everyone had in mind.

"That leaves us with the Desolate region and the mountain forest," the marksman said.

"The Desolate region is vast and features harsh conditions, unsuitable for escaping," Xiao Baihong pointed out.

"Then that just leaves the mountain forest," Sun stated.

"Team leader, is that human settlement reliable?" the marksman asked.

"I’m quite familiar with their leader," the team leader replied, pulling out his phone to play a video.

The video showed a small village.

People were farming, raising chickens, hunting, gathering, and there were also elders and children in the village—it appeared peaceful and serene.

A woman in military uniform appeared on screen, followed by two armed men.

She seemed to have recently become a mother, holding a baby in her arms, she smiled and said:

"Your team wants to come? Of course, I welcome you to visit us anytime."

The team leader’s voice emanated from the screen, "We might come tomorrow night."

"Any changes in numbers?" the woman inquired.

"One more martial master; he’s of high caliber," the team leader said.

At that moment, Wu Xiaode realized the team leader was referring to him.

Just before midnight the previous evening, he had joined the S-rank club and then they had all swiftly entered the Otherworld.

Unexpectedly, right after the team leader got there, he had announced his addition.

Now, this was the video she had recorded in the village the previous night.

In the video, the woman’s expression lit up with joy, "A martial master? That’s the profession that confronts demons head-on, that’s great!"

Wu Xiaode felt stunned.

Fighting head-on with boxing... was a perfectly normal thing to do, why was she so delighted?

He glanced subtly around him.

The team leader carried a bow and arrows.

The marksman was a long-range sniper.

Xiao Baihong’s combat style was unseen, but he seemed to use Magic too, given he had previously appeared and disappeared suddenly.

Ying—

Had set flame butterflies on a bone dragon, definitely a Magic-wielding professional.

Sun was laden with some technologically advanced gear and seemed inclined towards hot weapons.

It seemed there really wasn’t another close-combat professional.

On the phone screen, the woman cradling the baby said:

"Don’t worry, I’ll prepare a place for you all to rest. As for the martial master—if you come, I just collected a rare tendril from a demon. I’ll have him use it."

"What is it?" the team leader asked curiously.

The woman presented a long red tendril like a prized possession and said, "When it hits something, the impact is delayed by several seconds, and fire erupts around the target. The stronger the impact, the more intense the flame—I’ll have your martial master pick it up tomorrow."
