“Heavy Armored Sword Skeleton!”
Although Ye Zhongming was restrained in front of the Devil's Bet Table, most of his attention was still on the battlefield. Seeing the skeleton wrapped in black metal, holding a giant sword, he couldn't help but shake his head in resignation.
Right now, he was willing but unable, and could only rely on his teammates to solve the problem. However, he still had complete confidence in Shengyuan. The Heavy Armored Sword Skeleton belonged to the undead lifeform category. They did not possess magic crystals, but they still had levels, which could be inferred from the color of their bones.
The lowest level of undead lifeforms had gray bones, roughly equivalent in strength to ordinary zombies. The next level had white bones, and the stronger ones had black bones, followed by blue bones, purple bones, red bones, yellow bones, silver bones, and gold bones.
This Heavy Armored Sword Skeleton had black bones beneath its thick armor, indicating that its strength was equivalent to a level 3 mutated lifeform.
With the Flame Lion, lizard insect man, naga warrior, and heavy armored sword skeleton, there were four level 3 lifeforms, plus a level 2 mantis man, making the squad members sweat. They had never encountered so many high-level lifeforms before.
Xia Lei, Mo Ye, and Little Tiger felt particularly uneasy because during the battle by the lakeside, they had witnessed the terror of a level 3 corpse ape. They already had a psychological shadow regarding the strength of level 3 mutated lifeforms, and now suddenly facing four of them, even the thick-skinned among them realized the situation was not optimistic.
"Gun! Insect man!"
Ye Zhongming suddenly called out.
At the same time, he issued commands in his mind. The red-haired iron corpse and the earth yellow pill rushed out from the team. One leaped abruptly, its sharp right arm thrusting towards the neck of the Flame Lion, while the imperial pill stuck out half of its body and its neck hair shot out towards all the monsters except the lizard insect man.
The squad members were already accustomed to following Ye Zhongming's orders. As soon as they heard their leader's voice, they immediately raised their guns and aimed at the already injured insect man.
Mo Ye, Little Tiger, and Xia Lei, all armed police, coordinated well. After they opened fire together, bullets howled toward the insect man.
If one were to just look at the bullet trajectories, many of the bullets missed the insect man and landed nearby. Only two bullets were aimed at its head and legs.
The squad was unsure about the insect man's reaction speed and agility, but they could certainly imagine it, so as soon as they acted, they used their maximum capabilities.
During the battle at the New District Base, they had acquired a significant amount of materials, and after spinning the wheel so many times, they had also obtained some ammunition. Therefore, Ye Zhongming made a batch of armor-piercing rounds for the squad. Considering that the monsters they would encounter in the future would certainly evolve to higher levels, Ye Zhongming focused more on quality, producing fewer but more powerful armor-piercing rounds.
In the current crisis, the three of them didn't even think about whether it was a waste or not; they all understood that spreading their firepower was not as effective as concentrating on taking down one target first. Thus, they repeatedly pulled the triggers, firing out more than ten armor-piercing rounds.
The insect man's response was remarkably swift.
It sensed the impending danger, its entire carapace suddenly opening up to reveal a sharp combat form. Its body slightly crouched as it jumped to the side.
Thanks to the advantages brought by evolution, the lizard insect man's jumping ability was extremely powerful, leaping over ten meters.
However, because it had been charging forward, it was too close to the squad. The speed of the bullets was fast, and the shooting accuracy of the squad members was precise. Therefore, after the insect man struggled to dodge the bullets aimed at itself, it collided with the bullets headed for its side.
