Chapter 140
Chapter 140: Invincible Type of Metahuman! (3) The heavenly network had already decided to make a move on the same skeleton squad. After the failure of the sniper previously, it was difficult to find suitable vantage points for snipers so they had to approach the enemy directly.
After they had confirmed the leader of the skeleton squad, they just had to cooperate with the class D leader to kill the skeleton. Then, they could reduce the competency and teamwork of the skeleton squad.
Before the execution of the plan, the heavenly network’s men emphasized once more that their priority was to reduce the number of casualties in the face of danger. Everyone nodded silently, no one wished to die here.
At this moment, this team had already amassed more than a hundred people. But of these hundred people, only about twenty of them were fighters from the heavenly network and the remaining people were all soldiers or daoyuan students. Within these twenty members of the heavenly network, everyone was class E apart from the class D leader.
Those who participated in the exploration of the remain in Xi Bei said that this remain was indeed much stranger than other remains. The previous remain was like an adventure and exploration. There wasn’t so much battling and bloodshed.
The leader had a sudden thought. If all these students were as good as Lu Shu, his team would have broken out from this stalemate long ago. What was a small skeleton squad compared to more than one hundred of them? They would eradicate them easily!
But the reality was often different from ideals. Just yesterday, he had wanted to motivate everyone using Lu Shu as an example but realized that he had underestimated the fear everyone had towards this whole experience.
There was no choice, all these couldn’t be forced upon them. He just wished for them to survive while the members of the heavenly network too ownership of the situation.
Once they leave this place, he would report this incident to the higher management. There was not much point in wasting so much resources in developing all these daoyuan students who didn’t seem to be of much help.
In reality, there were very little metahumans who could fight aggressively and enthusiastically.
It would take lots of real practice and training!
The twenty or so members of the heavenly network waited at the top of the mountain for their opportunity. Their plan was to jump down when the skeleton squad passed by and split their squad into two groups to divert the battle. This would restrict their teamwork and their overall competency.
“They’re here!” Someone said seriously.
Gallops echoed from the valley and each sound thumped like the sound of a beating heart. Everyone was extremely cautious.
As the atmosphere became tenser, their palms became covered in cold sweat as well.
The skeleton squad walked compactly towards their direction and luckily for the team of heavenly network members, the skeletons did not seem prepared.
The leader raised his hand and everyone fixated their gaze on him, waiting for his command.
But just when he was about to send the signal to attack, there was a sound of a huge wind from far away. To their surprise, a spear flew towards the skeleton squad like a bolt of lightning. No one had any time to react as they looked at the spear, which exuded a brilliant light, pierced through the skull of the skeleton at the rear. His skull was instantly smashed into debris!
Everyone was stunned. What happened?! Whose immensely powerful spear was this? It destroyed the skull of the skeleton right in front of their eyes!
Just as they were wondering what happened, spears started soaring like dragons towards the skeleton squad. Their trajectories were straight and beautiful, without a single dip in height. From this, it could be seen how physically strong the thrower of the spears actually was.
The skeletons’ skulls were destroyed one after another before they could even react!
Just then, a teenager dashed into the view of everyone. The teenager was carrying a bundle of spears and with every spear he launched, he would retrieve another one from his back.
He was untouched by the arrows that were being fired at him by the skeletons. He actually dodged every single arrow!
The air was stale and dry. In this silence, a spear suddenly dashed in. It broke the silence momentarily and Lu Shu, wielding the spear, dashed forward. His technique, together with the strength in his arms, was enough to destroy everything in his path.
The initial spears were enough to destroy the skeleton skulls. But with Lu Shu running, the strength of the spears increased even more.
This time, as the spear pierced through the skull, it didn’t just split into debris. In a flash, the skull split into ash-like white powder. It was a power which could not be stopped.
When nine skeleton horseriders were dead, the valley fell into silence once more.
“Lu Shu…” Someone managed to point out the identity of the teenager.
“Is this the power of a strength type metahuman…”
The once despised strength type metahuman appeared in front of other people once more. In the past, everyone would think that physique and physical attacks were not enough to make an impact. As once everyone reaches class D, talismans and spells would make it hard for strength type metahumans to even get close.
But when a strength type metahuman could use such a spear-throwing technique, he could be so much more powerful.
And the current Lu Shu was merely class E. Even if the others reached class D, would they truly be able to go up against a class D strength type metahuman?
Didn’t this mean that for strength type metahumans even below class C, with the right equipment and weapons, they were invincible?
Of course, this was still the start of the rejuvenation of a magical era. Perhaps even more metahumans could use their strength more effectively. But what about those normal practitioners who were yet to reach class C?
Someone thought. If that class D fugitive had used such a technique, he would probably have been a much bigger problem.
No. Under such a circumstance, it would probably be hard to get stuff to throw as attacks.
But… Lu Shu at this moment had many weapons to use as javelins!
Someone looked at Lu Shu in confusion. How did this guy get so many spears? They, comprising more than 20 members of the heavenly network, only had two spears!
“Speaking of which, the 8 skeleton corpses we found this morning might have been killed by him…”
Everyone thought, damn. Since he had so many spears with him, it had to be him!
Two Luo Cheng daoyuan students looked in dejection. Could this douche really be so strong? Luckily he was from a different class!
To the people in the remains, although Lu Shu’s tier F aptitude would probably mean his future wasn’t as bright, he was one of the strongest practitioners in the remain here and now!
