Countdown: 3, 2, 1.
[The Sixth Round Begins!]
Twenty Female Soldiers stood at the front.
Sixty Female Craftsmen stood on the flanks.
Zhao Chi and Gu Qing were in the very center.
Everyone stared intently at the shimmering Wall of Fog before them.
Zhao Chi felt a trace of nervousness, while Gu Qing and Tang Ruan felt a bit of anticipation and excitement.
The fog grew thinner and thinner.
Sixty dark figures, slightly taller than Humans, appeared ahead.
When the fog completely dissipated, Zhao Chi stared ahead, stunned.
’Are those Magical Beasts all female?’
Their skin was extremely pale, almost bloodless.
Their slender necks had several holes that resembled fish gills.
They were all bare-chested, with four arms extending from their shoulders, each hand gripping a short dagger.
Their chests were of varying sizes.
The backs of their arms and their backs were covered in light blue scales.
They had slender waists that widened at the hips.
But below their hips, they had no legs—only long, coiled, dark blue serpentine bodies.
"My lord, are these snake people?" Tang Ruan asked.
Gu Qing also asked, "Are they Naga?"
Zhao Chi nodded. "That’s right, Naga Race Warriors! They have four arms, and their attacks are relentless. Everyone, be extremely careful. Don’t fight alone. Form up and kill them as a unit."
"Understood!" came the crisp, clear voices of the women.
They quickly tightened their formation.
Zhao Chi ordered, "Take out your Wooden Spears. Prepare to throw."
"Yes, sir!"
The sixty Naga Female Warriors also spotted Zhao Chi and his group.
Their eyes were large, but like a crocodile’s, they had black vertical pupils and yellow irises.
The sight of them was enough to send a chill down one’s spine.
"Hiss... Humans... kill them all!"
"Kill, kill, kill! HISSSSSS!"
Flicking their forked tongues, the Naga Female Warriors brandished the daggers in their four hands and slithered rapidly toward them.
Zhao Chi subconsciously glanced at the women around him.
They were all staring intently at the enemy, their arms raised high, ready to throw at any moment.
’Very good.’
’The Fearless Attribute is truly perfect for battle.’
Each woman only had two Wooden Spears, so there was no rush to throw them.
Waiting until the Naga were closer would make the throws more powerful.
Zhao Chi opened the Morale tab and glanced at it quickly.
[Zhao Chi Army Morale]
[Gu Qing] 95%
[Tang Ruan] 99%
[Female Militia] 89%
[Female Craftsman] 85%
’No problems. Everything looks good, even higher than before. The victory in the last round boosted Morale.’
Closer, and closer still.
"Throw!" Zhao Chi hurled his own spear.
SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!
Eighty-two Wooden Spears were thrown in rapid succession.
Bolstered by their 6 points in Power, the throws were incredibly forceful.
CLANG CLANG CLANG! THUD!
THUD! CLANG CLANG CLANG!
The Naga Warriors swung their daggers rapidly.
Their four arms were indeed very useful. They deflected most of the Wooden Spears thrown at them with their daggers.
It seemed they had specialized in Blocking; their four daggers were comparable to Shields.
A small portion of the Wooden Spears missed their targets entirely.
Only a few Wooden Spears hit their scaled, serpentine bodies, but they lacked the killing power to do more than injure them. There were no deaths.
"Ah, hiss! Damn it!"
"It hurts... hurts... hiss."
"Hiss... devour them!"
"Tear them to shreds! Damn Human women, damn it! Hiss!"
Red blood spurted out, leaving twisted trails of red on the ground as they continued to slither forward.
"Ready your spears! Wait until they’re within five meters, then throw!"
"Understood!"
The women were extremely calm.
Their Combat Power wasn’t reduced by nervousness in the slightest.
The Naga Warriors drew even closer.
"Throw!!!"
This time, the distance was extremely short.
The Female Soldiers mustered all their strength and threw with everything they had.
SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!
The sound of spears cutting through the air echoed.
The closer range greatly increased the women’s Accuracy.
The Wooden Spears lost no velocity due to the short distance, giving the Naga Warriors extremely little time to react.
They still swung their daggers desperately, but this time they only managed to deflect a small portion of the volley.
The sound of spears piercing flesh rang out again and again.
THUD THUD THUD THUD THUD! CLANG!
CLANG! THUD THUD THUD THUD! CLANG!
At least half of the Wooden Spears found their mark, embedding themselves in the Nagas’ bodies.
Although their outer skin was scaled, their chests and abdomens were covered in soft, white scales that offered poor protection.
Even a Wooden Spear could inflict lethal Damage.
Hissing screams erupted from all over.
"HISSS! Aaaah, my eyes!"
"Not good... hiss... my abdomen is pierced."
"My neck... hiss..."
"My arm is broken! I can’t hold my dagger!"
The Effect of the second volley of Wooden Spears was good.
The Naga Warriors in the front rank were hit by multiple Wooden Spears. Five died instantly, and over ten more writhed on the ground, severely wounded.
Over twenty Naga Warriors were lightly wounded. freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Only about twenty remained completely unharmed.
"Shields up! Thrust!"
Zhao Chi issued the order almost immediately after the second volley of Wooden Spears was thrown.
The Female Soldiers moved in unison, pressing their Iron Shields forward at the front of the formation and thrusting their Iron Spears with all their might.
It was a maneuver they had practiced thousands of times.
THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK THWACK!
Their movements were extremely fast. The lightly wounded Naga Warriors were stabbed again, taking severe injuries.
"HISSSS... kill!"
"Damn it, kill!"
"Kill them all!"
The Naga Warriors from the rear had already closed in, attacking the flanks of the Female Soldiers’ formation.
The flanks were held by the Female Craftsmen.
But they were no delicate women. They blocked the dagger slashes with their Wooden Shields and jabbed fiercely with their Wooden Spears.
However, the Naga Race had four hands, and thus four daggers.
Their attacks were a flurry of continuous strikes.
Most of the time, these Female Craftsmen could only defend passively, unable to find an opening to thrust their spears.
When they occasionally found a chance to thrust, their attacks were parried.
Fortunately, the Naga Warriors in the center had been dealt with.
Zhao Chi quickly adjusted the formation.
"Tang Ruan, take some people to the left! Gu Qing, take the rest to the right! Move quickly!"
"Understood! Follow me!" Tang Ruan charged to the left with ten Female Militia.
"Let’s go!" Gu Qing took the remaining nine Female Militia to support the right flank.
"Uwaaah!" Fang Li was slashed by a dagger.
Blood flowed endlessly from her shoulder, and her left arm went limp, unable to muster any strength.
The Naga laughed excitedly, "Hee hee, die!"
"Fang Li, fall back and take a pill! I’ll tank the Damage!"
Tang Ruan leaped forward, raising her Shield to block the Naga’s vicious strike.
Two Female Construction Workers next to her were freed up, and each thrust their spear fiercely.
"Thanks!" Fang Li said gratefully and swallowed a Pill.
On the other side.
THWACK.
"Aah!"
Li Zhu’s Wooden Shield was shattered, and a long gash appeared on her arm, blood pouring out.
SHIMMER!
A soft yellow light descended from the sky, covering Li Zhu’s arm.
Her arm began to heal before their very eyes.
"Thank you, Sister Gu!" Li Zhu breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the wound heal, the Naga Warrior became enraged, hissing as it swung its daggers again.
"Die for me!"
Gu Qing angrily grabbed the Naga Warrior’s hair and thrust her spear through its throat.
"So slimy..." The Naga Race’s hair was covered in a thick slime. A handful of it now coated her hand. Gu Qing flicked it off in disgust and charged toward the next Naga Warrior.
BANG!
Tang Ruan took a dagger strike.
But with her 72% Defense Enhancement, plus the protection of her Leather Armor, she was completely unharmed, losing only some of the armor’s Durability.
A Female Soldier next to her immediately provided support, blocking the next strike.
"I’ll block, you kill!" Tang Ruan shouted, blocking another blow.
THWACK! THWACK! Two Female Soldiers coordinated with Tang Ruan and killed another Naga.
"Focus fire on that straggler."
Yang Lu and four other female hunters continuously drew their Bows and fired Arrows.
Unfortunately, their Power was too low, but they still provided excellent support.
CLANK! CLANK!
Gu Qing blocked two of a Naga’s daggers, while Ding Dang and Li Zhu attacked from both sides, their Wooden Spears piercing the Naga’s chest and abdomen.
"Good teamwork!" Gu Qing charged toward the next one.
The Naga’s Combat Power was very high.
Besides the high Attack frequency from their four arms, their Damage was also not low.
They also had fine scales covering their bodies, which served as a natural Armor.
Their weak spots were their chests and abdomens—and, of course, their necks and faces.
But the four daggers in their hands were like four gates.
They were extremely skilled at Blocking, even parrying most of the Arrows fired by Yang Lu and the other hunters.
Breaking through their defenses was not easy.
One had to risk taking continuous slashes, strike decisively, and coordinate their attacks.
Fortunately, these women were very decisive.
More than forty of them had been cut.
But the Female Soldiers all had Defense Enhancement and were protected by Leather Armor, so it wasn’t a major problem.
The Female Craftsmen were injured a bit more severely, as they only wore Cloth Clothing.
However, thanks to High Level Life Pills and Gu Qing’s Treatment, everyone fully recovered.
