Chapter 38: Taking Advantage of an Opportunity

  This suggestion made Tang Kun and others very excited, you know, a 4th-level auxiliary soldier is equivalent to 20 3rd-level evil spirits, more importantly, the standard long knife in the hands of that auxiliary soldier was really too tempting, if they could drop one, their combat power would instantly increase by twofold.

  And what about that chopping skill, what if the skill book falls off? Although it's just a guess, but there's also a chance! If I can learn this amazing skill, Zhou Yue is nothing! See how he dares to be arrogant now!

  It was precisely because of this mentality that after a discussion, everyone passed the decision unanimously. Of course, Tang Kun still pretended to be fair and asked Zhou Yue's opinion.

  "I disagree!"

  Zhou Yueyi's expression was unusually stern as he said, "In the past, although his strength was the strongest among everyone, it wasn't the kind that would intimidate or show off. So many times, people subconsciously ignored his existence, like right now when Tang Kun and others made a decision before even asking him."

  "I disagree! This isn't a game, there's no chance to retry, I won't gamble with my own life!" Zhou Yue reiterated, her gaze meeting Tang Kun's without flinching. "One person can sneak up to within 40 meters, but two people will likely be discovered at 60 meters or more. Either we'll fail miserably or die. The task of luring those ten auxiliary soldiers can only be done by one person. If Qin Lang wants to go, let him go alone, I won't accompany him to his death!"

  Zhou Yue's words made Qin Lang's face look a bit ugly, while Tang Kun's expression didn't change at all. For him, Zhou Yue's request was to attract hatred and kill auxiliary troops to the greatest extent possible, wanting to have it both ways! However, he only needed to be able to lure those auxiliary troops away, so even if Qin Lang with 21 agility points came up, or just anyone else who could run fast enough, they would be sufficient. As for whether they could actually kill the auxiliary troops, he couldn't care less! Having this opportunity to suppress Zhou Yue's leveling speed was something he wouldn't pass up.

  So Tang Kun glanced at Zhou Yue and turned to ask Qin Lang, "You should be able to handle it, right?"

  "Alright!" Qin Lang hastily agreed. He wasn't too wary of Tang Kun, after all, his father had a lot of influence in the official circles and could intervene through various channels. However, Zhou Yue was different - he was a thoroughbred commoner, and if provoked, would really fight to the death. The shock Zhou Yue brought him last night was still etched in his memory, so he not only quickly changed his specialty to agility, but also made everything about surpassing Zhou Yue. Only by thoroughly surpassing Zhou Yue and then trampling him underfoot would Qin Lang feel at ease.

  This is also why he just obtained the refined Evil Ghost Tooth and can't wait to do something like Zhou Yue!

  "Alright then, Zhou Yue, you'll join us in killing the evil spirit!" Tang Kun said with a light smile. He also had misgivings about Zhou Yue, but couldn't do without him, especially in this situation. The best solution was to not let Zhou Yue quickly level up, because once his strength was unleashed, his leveling speed would be the fastest among everyone.

  "Alright!"

  Zhou Yue surprisingly didn't object, but this made Zhao Dashan, Li Dan, Wang Qiang and others tense up, because those 3rd-level evil spirits only had twenty heads to begin with. With Tang Kun there, they weren't enough to go around, now that Zhou Yue has joined in, who's killing speed is even faster, do they still have a way out?!

  However, Zhao Dashi and others didn't know that Zhou Yue had already looked down on those 3rd-level evil spirits at this time, including the coarse iron sand that was extremely precious to everyone. He completely disdained them all. His goal was only one - those 4th-level auxiliary soldiers.

  After arranging the tactics, everyone went forward again. Qin Lang followed Zhou Yue's previous approach and lurked 50 meters away. Everyone was tense, but they were more on guard against Zhou Yue.

  Qin Lang indeed had some skills, although his experience in killing was far inferior to Zhou Yue's. However, he had a strong learning ability, and when a grain transport team slowly approached, he also learned to mimic them, quietly sticking from behind. When they were about 40 meters away, he suddenly burst out with extremely fast speed, pouncing on one of the auxiliary soldiers. To Tang Kun, Zhao Dashan, and other strength-based experts, Qin Lang's speed was considered very fast, seemingly not much different from Zhou Yue's.

  But only Zhou Yue himself could see that Qin Lang's speed was fundamentally incomparable to his own, if they were to start running at the same time, within a distance of forty meters, and simultaneously kill an auxiliary soldier, he would need at most three seconds, while Qin Lang would need at least four seconds, this one-second difference in results is like heaven and earth!

  Qin Lang's attack was also very sharp, after all, the Evil Ghost Tooth in his hand had exactly the same attributes as Zhou Yue's Evil Ghost Tooth. With just one hit, he killed 12 points of life from that auxiliary soldier, and then with a second hit, he killed 8 points of life from that auxiliary soldier!

  However, Qin Lang's speed was still a bit slow, and the auxiliary soldier had four points of life value left. The auxiliary soldier had already thrown down his unicycle, and with a backward elbow strike, he knocked Qin Lang back two steps. Immediately afterwards, the second auxiliary soldier in front had already drawn out his standard long knife and slashed at him with a "brush" sound. Although it didn't hurt Qin Lang, it scared him quite badly, and he didn't dare to move forward again. He rolled and crawled away, turning around and running off. Luckily, he had 21 points of agility; otherwise, if it were someone else, they would probably have been killed by now!

  Qin Lang's attack failed, but it also managed to tie up the ten auxiliary soldiers. Tang Kun shouted and led everyone in a charge, surrounding the twenty evil spirits, while Zhou Yue didn't move at all, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief!

  But just a few seconds later, Zhou Yue rushed towards Qin Lang's direction at high speed. Behind Qin Lang, the ten auxiliary soldiers formed a horizontal line and chased after him relentlessly. Among them, the auxiliary soldier who had been killed by Qin Lang for 20 points of life value was particularly fierce in his pursuit, and happened to be on the far right side.

  Zhou Yue's target was the auxiliary soldier with only four health points left. With his speed, combined with the angle, he just managed to catch up to the ten auxiliary soldiers from behind. His Evil Ghost Tooth simply swept past, and that auxiliary soldier died. However, Zhou Yue's Evil Ghost Tooth didn't stop at all, as if it had just swept away a small obstacle on the journey, its target was already the second auxiliary soldier!

  At this time, the second auxiliary soldier had already discovered Zhou Yue's appearance. He immediately shouted and swung his right hand, with a flash of knife light, rushing towards Zhou Yue in a horizontal sweep. Although it wasn't a chopping skill, it was extremely powerful!

  The sword light was swift, but Zhou Yue's figure was even faster. In a flash, he had somehow managed to stick himself to the back of that auxiliary soldier, thus avoiding the attack of the sword light. At the same time, the Evil Ghost Tooth also climbed up onto the neck of that auxiliary soldier without any courtesy!

  Right after that, Zhou Yue didn't stop at all, and was like a mad wind, circling around the body of this auxiliary soldier once, and similarly, the Evil Spirit's Tooth also circled around the neck of this auxiliary soldier!

  Without any suspense, the auxiliary soldier's head then shot up into the sky, dead beyond all doubt!
