The captain nodded, his expression complex as he looked at the approaching group of bipedal lizards, and slowly spoke.
"You go ahead. I didn't expect this guy to be so weak; it's really frustrating to bury this weakling with him."
No. 8 didn't say anything further, just walked to the side of the demonic entity, preparing to handle its corpse.
He raised his short sword and aimed it at the black crystal on the demonic entity's forehead to dig it out!
Then, No. 8 frowned.
After the crystal was removed, the black light on it suddenly flickered, and then the crystal shrank at a visible speed, quickly turning into a black smoke that slowly vanished!
"This is inconsistent with the information from the Academy of Sciences..."
What specific information the Academy had given No. 8, the others naturally did not know. Looking at the already disappeared black crystal, No. 8 hesitated for a moment and quickly put the entire body of the demonic entity into the Spatial Ring, then turned to glance at the shadow sting team before vanishing from sight.
Meanwhile, the bipedal lizards in the distance were getting closer!
...
Watching the grotesque bipedal lizards charging towards them, the shadow sting team captain let out a deep breath.
Due to his misjudgment leading to the death of his teammates, the captain felt a sense of helplessness in his heart.
As for now...
The surrounding shadow stings all drew their short swords, trying to make a final struggle.
"Brothers, today..."
Before the shadow sting captain could finish his sentence, a huge sonic boom swept in from behind, interrupting his thoughts.
In the next second, what the shadow stings saw was a large, dark shadow plummeting from the sky, crashing hard into the oncoming bipedal lizard group!
In mid-air, Wen Yu, dressed in a black windbreaker, was free-falling from a height of a hundred meters before crashing heavily in front of the shadow sting team.
He lightly brushed off the dust on his body, then a voice echoed in everyone's ears.
"Did anyone tell me... why these bipedal lizards are rushing towards here?"
...
The roar of a wild song resonated, reverberating with a thunderous boom!
Wen Yu easily dispatched a level five bipedal lizard, leading the shadow sting team as they fought and retreated, successfully luring most of the encroaching bipedal lizards away from the outpost.
Strictly speaking, the command issued by the demonic entity before its death played a "great role"!
These bipedal lizards were strictly following the demonic entity's command, trailing behind the shadow sting team without stopping, and the crisis at the outpost was surprisingly resolved so simply.
Of course, this was not a long-term solution...
The mental fluctuations of the demonic entity before its death could not last forever, combined with the frustrating intelligence of the bipedal lizards, it wouldn't be long before these creatures would break free from the command issued before the demonic entity's death and go out of control—they would consume any life that was not of their kind!
"Big boss, save me!"
Up ahead, Xing and the Cyclops were loudly calling out to Wen Yu, their bodies ensnared by the bipedal lizards and unable to move.
Xing was alright; the demon dragon armor greatly enhanced his defensive capabilities, making it difficult for even level five bipedal lizards to injure him easily.
But the Cyclops had it worse...
His body was covered in bites, bloodied and mangled. The effects of his destiny fight ability and the flesh and blood chapter had significantly improved his physical condition.
According to the Cyclops, he felt like he could take on ten of them now.
Unfortunately, there were far more than ten bipedal lizards on site!
Breaking out of combat mode and recalling both spirit pets, Wen Yu led the shadow sting team in a mad dash outward.
"By the way, does that mean you killed the demonic entity?"
The shadow sting team captain nodded, having certainly heard of Wen Yu's name.
"What about the corpse?"
"It was taken by No. 8. And the black crystal on the demonic entity's head disappeared the moment it was dug out."
