Chapter 627: What a Happy Coincidence to See You Here

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Upon seeing the venomous scorpion, Han Fei suddenly roared, “Stop!”

You Lingyun yelled, “What’s up?”

“Don’t move just yet. I’ll cast a defense array on you.”

Han Fei simply pointed his fingers, and complicated stripes took shape under Wu Xiaoxiao’s and Gu Daliang’s feet. After only two seconds, a defense array made of six stripes of armor pieces emerged on them.

Wu Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “Captain, you know arrays too?”

You Lingyun and the others were shocked too. Talent was what mattered most to the spirit gatherers. It was already incredible enough for anyone to become a spirit gatherer, and even more so if they could learn healing.

Arrays, on the other hand, were the specialties of only a few spirit gatherers.

Most of the spirit gatherers who were capable casting arrays were in their twenties or even thirties.

After all, it took time to learn arrays. People who could create a defense array by pointing their fingers could only be described as geniuses!

Han Fei said, “Don’t be too surprised. It’s just a basic defense array. However, it shouldn’t be a problem for you to take a couple of attacks from those scorpions.”

After another moment, You Lingyun and Leng Hui were covered in a defensive array too.

Han Fei, on the other hand, simply stepped on the ground and created a Six Spirits Armor in no more than one second.

All the other squads grimaced at that.

Someone looked at the spirit gatherer in their team and said, “Look at the captain of the 37th squad. He can even establish defense arrays…”

The spirit gatherer who was asked blushed. He also became a captain as an advanced Dangling Fisher! How can I compare to such a genius? Are any of the spirit gatherers from other squads capable of using arrays?

After the array took shape, Han Fei roared and charged at the legion of scorpions.

Han Fei might not have been able to kill such level-43 creatures earlier. Although they were just regular in quality, they were level-43 creatures with shells anyway!

But at this moment, the ten daggers around Han Fei stabbed crazily and pierced a dozen scorpions right after he joined the battlefield.

After they all approached the scorpions, the scorpions launched an overwhelming storm of venomous stings.

Fortunately, those venomous stings weren’t the deadliest ones, and all the soldiers dodged well. They were only hit every couple of seconds.

Trying to keep a low profile, Han Fei didn’t show all the 99 daggers even though he was on a killing spree. However, one scorpion would be killed by his every slash.

After only fifty seconds of battle, half of the 150 soldiers from the Eighth Battalion were on drugs.

Their faces were unhealthily red. No matter how the manipulators tried, they couldn’t stop such a huge number of stings! So, it was inevitable that they got poisoned.

But fortunately, those people had taken anti-poison fruits more or less, and they weren’t killed by the scorpions’ poisons, albeit their combat ability apparently dropped.

Therefore, Han Fei’s team was quite eye-catching in their ferocious charge.

All of them were emitting vague golden light, and no creatures within fifty meters of them could survive.

After only a short while, hundreds of scorpions were already killed by them.

Fortunately, many allies continued to come, or the Eighth Battalion couldn’t have resisted the swarm of Giant Feathered Scorpions on their own.

A moment later, You Lingyun and the others’ Six Spirits Armor was all broken, and their spiritual energy was plummeting.

You Lingyun instructed, “Let’s take the antidotes.”

Gu Daliang followed, “Stand behind me. I’ll hold them off.”

Wu Xiaoxiao’s face was pale, because her burden was extremely heavy. She had to sense both the underground and the above, which drained her spiritual energy quickly.

Wu Xiaoxiao yelled, “Captain, spiritual energy!”

Han Fei didn’t charge anymore. He knew that things weren’t good when he saw more and more scorpions emerging, unless he summoned all his daggers and swept across the scorpions.

But even if he cut through the scorpions back and forth, the situation wouldn’t really be changed without the support of peak-level Hanging Fishers.

“Huh!”

Han Fei looked at the source of the sound, only to see that someone was hit by the red sting of a scorpion. The victim turned into a steamed shrimp in only two seconds, and thick red blood burst out of his body.

“Not good, armorists, hold them off!”

A manipulator was pierced by a scorpion, and all of his vines perished. After the manipulator died, the defense of the whole team fell on the shoulder of the armorist, which was too much for him. After only one second, all of them were enveloped in dark stings along with the armorist.

They were still alive, but they had lost their ability to fight, which was no different from death on such a battlefield.

Han Fei took a deep breath and immediately replenished the Six Spirits Armor on his teammates. He then shouted, “Everybody, fall back! I’ll go forward and release poison.”

Two squads in the Eighth Battalion had been completely wiped out, and other squads had casualties too. Han Fei knew that this battle didn’t look good if they fought on in such a way.

After all, there was only a limited number of reinforcements, and the sea creatures were much better at procreation than human beings.

Take the scorpions for example. It was a simple task for them to lay fifty eggs at one time.

But for a human being, they had to grow up through cultivation and elimination. They were all elites, and it was certainly not a bargain for them to die together with the scorpions.

When Han Fei roared at them, many captains of the Eighth Battalion were stunned but chose to believe him. After all, being from the same battalion, they knew that Han Fei was a genius, and they were sure that Han Fei had a good reason to release whatever poison he had.

However, the other allies weren’t aware of that. They thought that Han Fei was committing suicide by charging at all the scorpions.

However, to their shock, ten daggers swirled so fast around Han Fei that they cut through the scorpions like a mincer.

Han Fei’s body was covered in an ultra-quality battle suit.

His ultra-quality battle suit was covered in a spiritual energy protective cover.

His spiritual energy protective cover was covered with the Six Spirits Armor.

Just like that, Han Fei squeezed a spiritual fruit after he approached the swarm of scorpions. Immediately, immense spiritual energy burst out from where he was, attracting all the scorpions.

Han Fei sneered, and it began to rain within a fifty-meter radius of him. Then, Han Fei hopped among the shells of the scorpions and let the rain consume them.

About twenty seconds later, the scorpions lost control of themselves and began to spew out bubbles crazily. At first, it was just one and two of them, then a couple of them, and then a whole area of them.

All the scorpions that were showered by the rain began to spew out bubbles. Instead of attacking human beings, they collided and fought with each other.

Seeing that, the captains of the Eighth Battalion all roared, “Kill them! If we kill this wave of swarms, we will be able to take a break!”

…

What Han Fei didn’t know was that fifty kilometers ahead of him, there was a fatty who was armed to the teeth with ultra-quality spiritual weapons, and a fish that was crazily spewing out bubbles.

The little fatty was also holding what appeared to be a squirt gun and avidly pressing its trigger.

The fatty’s opponents were a swarm of red worms that looked extremely creepy. However, all the worms that the fatty sprayed on were writhing and vomiting.

If Han Fei were here, he would’ve recognized that the fatty was Cao Qiu. Why was he on this battlefield too?

Neither of them was aware of each other, but both came up with the thought of attacking the poisonous creatures with poison of their own.

A Hidden Fisher caught the sight of them at the same time.

“Huh? Are those two poison experts? One of them is a junior Hanging Fisher, and the other is an advanced Dangling Fisher. Interesting.”

Han Fei had a great time spraying. It was pure water control. He enshrouded the poison king in water and sprinkled it from the sky, weakening all the scorpions.

However, when Han Fei was having a great time, he saw a boat right above his head.

The Hidden Fisher shouted at Han Fei, “You’re now drafted. Get on my boat.”

Han Fei yelled back, “My teammates need me… Cao Qiu?”

Han Fei was rather speechless. Why was Cao Qiu here?

Cao Qiu was stunned too. He didn’t do anything at all. He was having a good time spraying water, when someone said that he was drafted and caught him to the boat.

This Hidden Fisher cast out a sword aura that extended eight hundred meters and killed hundreds of scorpions for the Eighth Battalion. Then he roared, “Come here!”

Seeing that the man was not to be refused, Han Fei jumped to the boat and said to You Lingyun and the others, “Be safe! Fall back if you can’t beat them, and work with other squads if needed!”

After that, Han Fei turned his head, only to see Cao Qiu gazing at himself with glittering eyes. “What a happy coincidence! I didn’t know that you were here!”
