Chapter 35: Cooperation

  This 4th-level auxiliary soldier unexpectedly has two halos, and on the basis of basic life value, it has already reached a terrifying 33 points. The overall strength has also reached 26 points, which is much more powerful than Tang Kun. Moreover, he is equipped with a standard long knife and has a slashing skill, making his overall attack reach 4 points. The only weakness is probably that his agility is relatively low, with only 14 points.

  If it's one-on-one, Zhou Yue is confident that he can take down this 4th-level auxiliary soldier. If there are two of them, he can still use the kite tactic to wear them down, but if their numbers increase again, he'll have no choice but to turn around and flee.

  As for Tang Kun, he might have the ability to face a 4th-level auxiliary soldier alone. As for others, it's hard to say. More importantly, apart from these ten 4th-level auxiliary soldiers, there are also twenty 3rd-level evil spirits. All of these 3rd-level evil spirits are power-type specialists, and their attributes have increased significantly. Fortunately, there is only one halo.

  "Level 3 evil spirit, transformed from plague infection, inclined towards strength, with some intelligence and combat power, trash!"

  "Comes with Zhang Tian's Blessing Aura, HP +10, Strength +2, Agility +1, Defense +4, Attack +1."

  "Basic life value 16/16, basic strength 16/16, basic agility 10/10, basic defense 1/1, basic attack 2."

  "Acquiring skills, Evil Spirit's Howl v1, temporary strength attribute increased by 4 points, defense increased by 2 points, attack increased by 2 points, lasting for 10 seconds."

  This is a 3-star power-type evil spirit, to be honest, it's not easy to deal with, especially the evil spirit's roar skill, which is even more disgusting than the agile-type evil spirit's throw. If this evil spirit roars, its power will reach 22 points, which is comparable to Tang Kun. Adding 1 point of defense and 2 points of attack, it's almost as difficult to deal with as Tang Kun.

  So, at this moment, everyone understood the characteristics of the grain transport team and fell silent. With their strength of sixty-five people, if they rushed up together, it wasn't that they couldn't kill the grain transport team, but the loss would definitely be huge. Tang Kun absolutely wouldn't allow such a thing to happen, because they still needed to rely on continuously killing these grain transport teams to level up!

  So, how to launch an attack has become a problem.

  Soon, after Tang Kun said a few words to Qin Lang, they seemed to have reached a consensus. Then, he gathered all the people who had upgraded to level 3, including Zhou Yue. Only then did Tang Kun say in a deep voice: "Everyone has seen the situation and should be very clear about it. We can't rush forward recklessly. I suggest that the first attack is a feint to test the combat strength of that grain transport team. Then we'll decide what to do next. Therefore, this attack can only be carried out by us who have upgraded to level 3. The rest of you will wait here."

  "Now, let me talk about the battle plan. The ten 4th-level auxiliary troops pose the greatest threat. We only have nineteen people in total and cannot fight against twenty 3rd-level evil spirits and those ten 4th-level auxiliary troops at the same time. Therefore, we must first lure those ten 4th-level auxiliary troops to one side and wait for others to annihilate all twenty 3rd-level evil spirits before going to surround and annihilate those ten auxiliary troops. However, luring those ten 4th-level auxiliary troops requires extremely high agility attributes."

  Tang Kun's words went this far, and everyone suddenly understood, turning their eyes to Zhou Yue, because among the crowd, only his agility was the highest at 24 points.

  Upon seeing this, Zhou Yue couldn't help but let out a sigh. Such arrangements would be fine in a united team, but their team was far from being united!

  This way, the experience points and drop items of those twenty evil spirits are gone! However, after thinking about it, Zhou Yue said very quickly: "Okay, I'll take care of attracting those ten auxiliary soldiers, but you guys also need to be careful. Also, I request that we launch a preemptive attack, wait until I've completely attracted those ten auxiliary soldiers before you guys make your move!"

  "No problem! Let's do it, get ready to attack!" Tang Kun said with a smile, and the others were also delighted. Because if they distributed the battle in this way, each of them would be able to get experience points and drop items from one 3rd-level evil spirit. Even if they couldn't annihilate those ten auxiliary soldiers, as long as they did it several times, many of them would be able to level up to 4th level, and then they wouldn't be far behind Zhou Yue!

  Some people even thought of evilly, whether or not to go and annihilate those 4th-level auxiliary soldiers. After all, the killing power of those guys is not comparable to that of a 3rd-level evil spirit. As long as they kill those twenty evil spirits one by one, they can gain experience points and drop items, and quickly catch up with Zhou Yue.

  Compared to the excited and eager crowd, Zhou Yue was as calm as ever. How could he not know that this tactical arrangement was unfair to him? But, how things would turn out was hard to say before the result was revealed!

  When the nineteen people set off towards the highway next week, they can be considered the strongest core power of the entire team. Except for Zhou Yue who needs to attract those ten 4th-level auxiliary soldiers, each person needs to deal with one 3rd-level evil spirit. Tang Kun himself needs to face three heads. Now he just needs to kill six more 3rd-level evil spirits to become the second person after Zhou Yue to upgrade to level 4. The speed of his upgrade is really unimaginable!

  Because there were no formal Yellow Turban soldiers or skilled archers in the grain transport team on that road, everyone was able to sneak up to a distance of 100 meters from the road. Of course, this also had a lot to do with the standard combat uniforms they wore. After arriving here, they would have to wait here, while Zhou Yue, who was responsible for attracting those ten level-4 auxiliary troops, would continue to advance to a distance of sixty meters.

  Fortunately, everyone had changed into combat uniforms before departure, so as long as they lay flat on the ground, it was really hard to tell them apart.

  After waiting for a while, a grain transport team came from the direction of Akakawa City. In front of this grain transport team were twenty evil spirits clearing the way, divided into two columns, with ten in each column. Behind them were ten 4th-class auxiliary soldiers pushing single-wheeled carts.

  Zhou Yue's hiding place was fifty meters away from Tang Kun and the others, which also made it convenient for them to intercept and kill the evil spirits in front of them. The 4th-level auxiliary soldiers behind could be attracted by Zhou Yue to the back.

  At this moment, seeing the grain transport team walking in front of him, Zhou Yue also slowed down his breathing, and his heart became more calm than ever before. All distractions were thrown away by him, and his gaze only remained on the last auxiliary soldier!

  Perhaps it was the slaughter that had become too much, or perhaps it was the enhancement of his powers, but Zhou Yue found himself increasingly fond of this transcendent feeling before battle, for it gave him a thrill of controlling all life. This was probably what it meant to be a master.

  After that team of auxiliary soldiers walked by, Zhou Yue slowly got up from the ground without making a sound. Then, he floated lightly with an ethereal gait and directly walked onto the highway. The people far away, including Tang Kun, were all holding their breaths in surprise. No one expected that Zhou Yue wouldn't launch an immediate attack but instead approached so easily. What was even more bizarre was that the team of auxiliary soldiers didn't discover him at all.
