Chapter 1680: This Guy is Really Lucky!

Watching the Bug Tribe’s beautifully timed cooperation over and over again, Lin Huang could not help cheering for them.

He suddenly realized that the battle was much more interesting than he had initially anticipated.

On the Bug Tribe’s side, there were tanks, strikers, controllers, and even covert killers.

The ten mutated bugs had their own duties. They worked together seamlessly in practically every round of battle. Clearly, they had trained countless times before this.

However, the six individuals on the Raiders’ team obviously had no rapport.

Even with the few rescues that had been enacted, Lin Huang could still clearly see how hastily they had been carried out.

If they had been just a second late, the white-robed Priest would have been killed by the Shadow Bug.

Even a layman could tell by a glance that the six of them had definitely never worked together before.

Lin Huang even had some suspicions that among all six, some might have been meeting their partners for the first time because of this mission.

With that in mind, it made total sense that some of them had no sense of rapport at all.

The fight between both sides was still going on in the starry heavens.

Their several embarrassing performances caused the six individuals from the Raiders to begin taking things seriously.

The Bug Tribe’s camp, however, was orderly and methodical. They were old hands at working together.

Their plan remained the same—three defense mutated bugs, two assault bugs, and one mobile defense that was ready to take the attacks for the other mutated bugs at all times.

The three high-damage dealing mutated bug strikers attacked in a frenzy as soon as they decided on their target.

The three control-type mutated bugs were ready to take control of the battlefield at any time. They were watching for any chances to create an opportunity for the mutated bug strikers to fight.

As for the Shadow Bug proficient in stealth attacks, it was watching the entire battle situation attentively. It would attack immediately as soon as it found an opportunity to do so.

Whether or not it managed to kill its target, it would slip away immediately after its attack without lingering.

The ten mutated bugs worked together in a practically flawless manner.

Lin Huang could almost imagine the extremely strict training these bug beasts had gone through in private to be able to perform so competently on an actual battlefield.

In comparison, the Raiders’ side messed things up completely despite having superior abilities.

As the ten mutated bugs fought steadily, the six middle-rank Lords from the Raider’s camp were gradually split up.

The courageous short, burly bald man’s heavily muscled, resilient physique was useless at present. As soon as he came back to his senses in the slightest, the Devilish Sonic Cicada and Black Abyssal Demon Bug would take turns to attack his God’s soul.

He could only strive to protect his God’s soul. He did not have the strength to attack at all.

The white-robed Priest, who possessed the fastest attacking speed, was being targeted by the Shadow Bug. It would attack him whenever it could seize the opportunity to do so; he was completely unable to defend himself against this. The few control-type mutated bugs would attack him once in a while as well.

After almost being killed two or three times in a row by the opportunistic Shadow Bug, his mental state completely went under. He could only unleash less than fifty percent of his ability.

Meanwhile, the red-robed woman who used the blood-red threads had been targeted by the Demonic Armored Mutant. The blood-red threads she unleashed were easily cut through by the Demonic Armored Mutant’s blade-like legs.

In addition, the several control-type mutated bugs had been controlling the battlefield, so she was practically being subdued the entire time.

She felt as if the Demonic Armored Mutant was pursuing her to her death.

There was also a plump man who specialized in violent damage dealing, but his defense capabilities were nowhere near those of the short, burly bald man. However, his ability to deal damage as an individual was probably the most powerful of all six Raiders.

He had almost killed the six defense-type mutated bugs in the beginning. However, the Bug Tribe had very soon found a counter-strategy.

The Flying Centipede—the most mobile of the mutant bugs—confronted him, with the Six-winged Golden Cicada acted as auxiliary support and the Archaic Demon Spider controlling from a distance away.

Under the effects of the Flying Centipede’s toxin, the plump man’s condition very evidently deteriorated. The space between his brows was already gradually beginning to turn jet-black.

Watching the entire battle via Divine Telekinesis, Lin Huang noticed that even the plump man’s God’s soul had been contaminated by the Flying Centipede’s toxin.

However, the plump man himself did not seem to notice this at all. Instead, he continued to deal out massive damage, venting his fury.

Judging by how fast the toxin’s contamination was spreading, Lin Huang’s best guess was that the plump man could only last for another half an hour at most. After half an hour, even an upper-rank Lord would not be able to be revived.

Lin Huang saw from the surveillance image that the two middle-rank Lords were obviously not in good condition at this point.

From a distance, the Six-winged Golden Cicada’s colorless saber gleams targeted the cadaverous man by kiting him. As soon as he went after the Cicada, however, he would inevitably be blocked by the Archaic Demon Spider’s spider webs.

His defense capabilities were second only to the short, burly bald man. Therefore, the Bug Tribe’s strategy was to restrain him instead of treating him as the main hunting target.

However, the plump man was worn out from the Six-winged Golden Cicada’s interference. Not only that, he would occasionally be hampered by spider webs and did not have extra energy at all to go to anyone else’s aid

As for the tall, thin man, the situation was worse.

He specialized in God’s soul attacks. However, this ability was not very useful when he was faced with the bug formations.

This was because a portion of his God’s soul attack was filtered off by the bug formation. The load of attack power that passed through the bug formation would be disseminated among the massive numbers of bugs in the bug formation.

One must know that there were trillions of bug beasts. After the bug formation had filtered the attack and the Bug Queen Lord at the core of the formation had taken the brunt of the impact, the shared load of the God’s soul attack that each bug beast bore would be somewhat minimalized.

After sensing his condition, the Bug Tribe immediately put him on the list of those that absolutely had to be killed.

The tall, thin man was the one with the highest rate of interference from the three control-type mutated bugs. Not only that, he was the main target of the Six-winged Golden Cicada’s kiting. He was also the Shadow Bug’s primary target.

Within just a short few minutes, he almost died several times.

Lin Huang broke out in a cold sweat for the tall, thin man as he watched, giving a running commentary.

“Hey, he hasn’t died yet!”

“That still didn’t kill him?!”

“This fellow may just have used up a lifetime of luck in this battle.”

…

Right as the Shadow Bug ambushed the tall, thin man once more, and Lin Huang felt that he was truly doomed this time, a blood-red electric arc shot into the air, crushing the Shadow Bug’s newly consolidated shadowy figure.

It was Scarlet Fox who had attacked.

Unable to restrain himself anymore, the upper-rank Lord had finally been moved to act.

Nine Snake’s expression displayed no signs of joy or sadness. Silver, whose whole body seemed to be made of metal, showed no trace of emotion on his face either. However, the irritation on Scarlet Fox’s countenance was clear for all to see; he did not conceal it at all.

Scarlet Fox had been annoyed ever since the battle started, and he saw the six Raiders falling into the tempo of battle the Bug Tribe had set. However, since Nine Snake had not said anything, he had forced himself to tolerate things until now.

At this point, he could take it no longer and finally made a move.

This was because he knew the tall, thin man he had brought along would die if he did not do so.

The ten mutated bugs from the Bug Tribe’s side swiftly fled the battlefield as soon as Scarlet Fox attacked.

The six disgraced middle-rank Lords from the Raiders’ side did not pursue them. Instead, they returned to their camp.

The intervention of an upper-rank Lord was a signal that the fighting was about to escalate.

The warm-up battle had ended, and the second stage was about to begin!

As he watched both sides stop fighting at the same time, Lin Huang felt as if he were left wanting more of that excitement.

“Tsk, tsk. That tall, thin fellow escaped death again. This guy is really lucky!”
