Chapter 614 Multiplayer Battle Tactics
Ye Kang stared intently at the battlefield and roughly assessed the strength of these people.
First, there's the Ironhead Scorpion, which isn't a demon, but a pure ferocious beast, just like the Frost Wyvern of the Northern Plains.
The martial artists who besieged him were all Nascent Soul stage experts who had built a palace.
With so many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators working together to kill a single ferocious beast, the situation is still far from optimistic.
The iron-headed scorpion's stinger swept across the ground repeatedly, and no martial artist dared to take it head-on. They all dodged and weaved to avoid it.
While one person is dodging, the others will quickly step in and thrust their spears forward with all their might.
The gunfire erupted, relentlessly striking the weak points of the Ironhead Scorpion's limbs.
This was a battle tactic Ye Kang had never seen before: multiple people in a combined formation, using the inferior to defeat the superior.
Ordinary martial artists would never do this, because martial artists are proud and disdain using such common fighting tactics.
Even in a siege, each fighter operates independently, seizing every opportunity to attack; such skillful teamwork would never occur.
It seems that this is what distinguishes the Martial Dynasty from the sects.
Only by recruiting warriors and soldiers in the name of the imperial court can such a powerful effect be achieved.
At that moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly exploded, falling from the sky and striking the Iron-Headed Scorpion's left forelimb.
Ye Kang looked up and saw another hidden martial artist holding several lightning talismans in his hand, watching the battlefield intently from a high place.
That lightning strike was the effect of the lightning talisman; its power was extremely cunning. The lightning struck down and instantly severed a scorpion's leg.
The Iron-Headed Scorpion, in pain, roared and thrust its long tail straight upwards.
The Thunder Talisman Warrior was prepared; he dodged away immediately after striking with lightning.
The tail needle missed its mark, and the other warriors seized the opportunity, thrusting out their spears almost simultaneously, all their spear energy instantly bombarding Iron-Headed Scorpion's head.
Bang bang bang bang!
The hard scorpion shell made a cracking sound, and was dented and uneven from the gunfire, but there was still no penetrating wound.
Ye Kang couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
The armor of this Iron-Headed Scorpion is ridiculously hard.
Just as everyone was frowning, another massive iron halberd crashed down from the sky.
The Ironhead Scorpion brandished its giant pincers, battling against the halberd.
But the next second, the halberd slammed down, actually smashing the giant pincers into the ground with a cracking sound.
The sand dunes were flattened by the shockwave, and a terrifying aura spread out. A weathered man wearing black iron armor and with his long hair tied up high stood bravely on the giant pincers of the Iron-Headed Scorpion, looking down on all around.
"Commander!"
"The commander is mighty!"
The martial artists immediately cheered loudly. It turned out that this person was Commander Lian. Ye Kang had asked Wu Peng about the commander's name before.
Lian Hulong.
He looked up with a cold smile, and the scorpion's tail suddenly lashed out. He leaped lightly to dodge the tail, and at the same time, swung his halberd with both hands and smashed it down heavily.
The scorpion's tail collided with the halberd, and the result was obvious: the scorpion's tail was smashed to the ground.
Countless grains of sand were swept up by the blast wave, turning the surrounding area into a vast expanse of yellow sand.
Lian Hulong said in a low voice, "You're all useless. You can't even beat such a small insect. Have I wasted all these days teaching you?"
Upon hearing this, the martial artists were filled with shame.
Even Hu Long didn't curse much, but continued to wield his halberd and turned to chop down.
It completely broke the heavily damaged giant pincer.
The Iron-Headed Scorpion roared and thrashed, its other pincer and tail simultaneously striking down. At that moment, another lightning talisman fell.
With a loud bang, the scorpion's tail was struck by the lightning talisman, and it fell down again.
Lian Hulong shouted and swept his halberd upwards with all his might.
The halberd's edge was aimed at the joint of the giant pincers, and it was dislocated with a single blow.
The scorpion's green blood splattered onto the sand, accompanied by a bloodcurdling scream.
Without further ado, the other martial artists attacked simultaneously, their spears piercing into the Iron-Headed Scorpion's joints, cracking sounds echoing continuously.
In an instant, all the crab legs broke off simultaneously.
The Iron-Headed Scorpion completely lost all its legs, its massive body crashing to the ground, its half-broken tail sweeping angrily toward the warrior on its right.
The two were unable to dodge in time and were swept away by a tail, spitting out blood, clearly seriously injured.
But the others rushed forward, throwing out several hooks that tightly entangled the scorpion's tail.
Lian Hulong slowly walked up to the Iron-Headed Scorpion's head and, amidst the scorpion's terrified gaze, plunged the halberd into the scorpion's eye.
Boom!
The true energy erupted inside the Iron-Headed Scorpion's head, instantly shattering its brain.
The scorpion's eyes dimmed, and after struggling a few times, it fell silent again.
"The commander is brilliant!"
"Great, that bastard is finally dead. So many scout brothers were sacrificed, it got off too easily!"
A group of people punched and kicked the corpse of the Iron-Headed Scorpion, venting their anger.
On the other side, seeing this, Ma Tiandou whispered, "It's our turn to do the work. Be smart and don't hold us back."
He walked over and said with a fawning smile, "Commander Lian, you just displayed your great power. I admire you to the core."
"Alright, if you're uncultured, don't try to flatter others. Hurry up and move the corpse."
"Understood! You lot, get back to work!"
Ye Kang ran over with the others.
Such a large beast carcass cannot be contained in a regular storage bag. Breaking it into smaller pieces in the wild is too troublesome, and most importantly, there is not enough time. It would easily attract other beasts and waste materials.
Therefore, the best solution is to find someone to carry the body.
The body was carried back intact, ensuring minimal damage.
Ma Tiandou glanced at the corpse and then commanded, "You four, you're in charge of lifting the torso; you two, you're in charge of the pincers and legs. Don't miss a single one!"
Ye Kang and the scarred girl were responsible for picking up the scattered scorpion legs and pincers.
These things were enormous, not to mention they didn't even have a storage bag.
Ye Kang was most curious about the four men who were lifting his torso.
Although they were also at the Eight Pillars level of cultivation, they were not Body Tempering Warriors.
Could four people really lift a hundred-foot-tall demon body?
Soon, the answer to this question was found.
Ma Tiandou handed out a red pill to everyone and said, "Eat the Power Pill and hurry, or you won't get any dinner tonight."
The corpse carriers meekly swallowed the pills, and their originally weak blood and energy instantly exploded, even their muscles became incredibly huge.
Ye Kang's eyes narrowed instantly.
He could tell at a glance that something was wrong with the energy pill.
It can indeed temporarily boost one's qi and blood strength, but once the effect wears off, the damage may far exceed expectations.
No wonder these corpse carriers are so weak; they're being used as expendable resources.
Ye Kang felt a surge of murderous intent, but he didn't unleash it directly.
Ma Tiandou then took out two more enormous chains and threw them to Ye Kang and the scarred girl respectively.
"Take this and tie the things up securely. If you lose even a single thing, I will hold you responsible!"
"Yes!"
Ye Kang answered immediately and then used an iron chain to bind the scattered scorpion legs. At this moment, a pair of eyes suddenly stared at him.
Lian Hulong frowned and said, "This guy looks unfamiliar?"
"Commander, this is the newcomer."
"Newcomers... Go back and get some rest. Come to the camp tomorrow morning to assemble, and you'll be doing day shifts with me."
"what?"
