"The best time to strike is right after you dodge their dash attack," Nanzhi said, her voice sharp with focus. "Once they’ve committed to that dash, they can’t change direction. And if you get caught in their combo, it’s game over. Don’t let them land a hit—retreat as soon as you can. Then capitalize on the short windows they leave open to counterattack."
"The Ember Hounds might be slower than the feline beasts, but they’re stronger and more durable. Their fire attacks are no joke," Lin Weihao added, his tone serious. "You need to take them down first, or they’ll make your job much harder."
"Exactly," Nanzhi confirmed, glancing at the team. "And don’t let the two of them work together. If they manage to coordinate, you’re in for a much tougher fight."
"The most important thing is to watch each other’s backs," Lin Weihao continued, his gaze sweeping over the group. "No lone wolves here—teamwork is key."
The three of them nodded, their expressions determined. They took their positions, committing Nanzhi and Lin Weihao’s advice to memory.
"We’ll start with individual fights, then we’ll let you all team up," Nanzhi said, ready to guide them through the process.
"Got it!" they all responded in unison.
"Alright, let’s do this!" Nanzhi barked, watching as the team leapt into action.
Yu Baoyin stepped forward, hands glowing as she condensed a soil thorn about a foot long and three inches thick. She then summoned several smaller soil pikes that rained down on the alien beasts, disrupting their movements and throwing them off balance.
"Fire Arrows!" Feng Ran called out as his hands crackled with fire, launching two fire blazing arrows that sliced through the air. They struck with precision, forcing the beasts back.
Meanwhile, Bingwen focused his attacks on the beasts’ weak spots: their eyes, bellies, and necks. His metal nails struck true, digging deep into the alien beasts and causing them to stagger. His focus and accuracy were impressive.
As the beasts pressed forward, they found themselves cornered. Lin Weihao and Nanzhi had them boxed in, their eyes sharp as they kept the animals from retreating. The alien beasts had nowhere to go except toward their weaker sides, trying desperately to escape.
Although the team’s abilities weren’t yet refined for prolonged battles, the fight was still a good opportunity for them to learn and adapt. They were at a disadvantage in terms of strength, but their teamwork and determination made up for it.
The downside, however, was that they weren’t yet accustomed to fighting in groups. Some of their attacks and bullets dangerously close to hitting their teammates. Experience tales at freewebnovel
"Watch your aim!" Nanzhi called, her voice full of authority as she deflected a stray bullet that would’ve hit Feng Ran.
"Thanks Sister-in-law!" Feng Ran shot her a grateful look, adjusting his position to stay in sync with the others.
Lin Weihao and Nanzhi were constantly on the lookout, blocking and nullifying attacks that came too close to their teammates. It was a tense moment, but the group managed to avoid any serious accidents.
After about an hour, the battle finally came to an end. The last of the alien beasts crumpled to the ground, their lifeless bodies adding to the growing pile. The team staggered back toward the car, their bodies aching from the intense fight.
"Man, that was exhausting," Yu Baoyin muttered, wiping sweat from his brow. "But we’re getting better."
Feng Ran grinned, though he looked equally worn out. "Yeah, but I’m definitely going to feel this in the evening."
Nanzhi and Lin Weihao shared a knowing look. They were both already scanning the area, looking for the next group of ravagers and hounds to hunt down. The fight had been useful, but it was time to grind more EXP.
"The area’s just beyond that destroyed compound," Nanzhi said, pointing toward the ruins. "Let’s head deeper into the territory. We might encounter some higher-level beasts."
