Chapter 55: Rampaging Sweep, Greatmaw Ants

Chapter 55: Rampaging Sweep, Greatmaw Ants

The competition between different Arcana organizations was quite fierce . After all, everyone had the same job, the same business, the same business interests, so competition was inevitable .

In particular, Pangu ranked number one in the world, and Vulcan ranked second . The competition between the two was extremely fierce, like water and fire .

Just as Ling Jiu, Pangu’s captain finished speaking, Vulcan’s captain Yang Gan straightaway threw barbs at him .

Ling Jiu glanced at him . “Don’t worry, if there’s someone that will be killed by a Direbeast, that person would be you!”

“You may be young, but you sure talk big!”

The brawny bearded man, Yang Gan sneered . “I really don’t understand how Pangu would let a twerp like you become a captain . Are they not afraid of dragging two elite teams down, and let them die for nothing?”

“Heh, it’s not your fault for being ugly, but coming out to scary everyone with your looks, then that’s your fault!” Ling Jiu spat back . I didn’t do anything to you, why are you picking a fight with me?

“Boy, do you want to die?”

Yang Gan was furious . He absolutely hated someone else calling him ugly .

Because of his ugliness, when the calamity broke out, he was abandoned by his parents, and if he had not awakened his Arcana in his despair, he would have been dead already .

Therefore, his appearance had been the biggest pain point in his life . Now that Ling Jiu exposed that in front of everyone else, how could his petty temper tolerate that?

“All right, all right, quiet, both of you!”

Xu Yuanhui came out to smoothen things out . He looked at the bearded strong man and said . “Captain Yang, Captain Ling may be young, but he is already a level 4 Arcanist, and having dual-Arcana to boot . In terms of strength, he is no weaker than you!”

“Level 4 Arcanist!”

Yang Gan’s expression changed drastically, and the expressions of the other Arcanists who wanted to watch the drama unfold too changed as a trace of awe appeared in the eyes as they looked at Ling Jiu .

The vast majority of people present were level 3 Arcanists, and many smaller companies even send out only Level 2 Arcanists .

But Ling Jiu was a Level 4 Arcanist!

A person of superior rank would crush anyone beneath him!

When an Arcanist is a level higher, the difference in strength was completely incomparable!

A Level 4 Arcanist!

That was enough to make them look up to him .

Let alone having dual-Arcana!

Baiting for drama with these sorts of people?

They better think things through!

“Since Commander Xu said so, I’ll give you face!”

Yang Gan calmed down a little, but his face still looked bitter as he said coldly . “Boy, are you interested in a competition?”

“What competition?”

Ling Jiu raised his eyebrows .

“Who can hunt more Direbeasts!”

Yang Gan snorted coldly . “If you can kill more Direbeasts than me, I will apologize to you for the rudeness before . Otherwise, you would have to apologize to me instead!”

“I’ll wait for your apology!”

Ling Jiu smiled faintly .

“Let’s see what happens next!”

Yang Gan snorted and looked at Xu Yuanhui . “Commander Xu, the other Fourth-Order Direbeasts pack is Huoshen’s!”

“No problem!”

Xu Yuanhui smiled in his heart, this was the healthy competition he wanted to see . Everyone working hard together to clean up the Direbeasts as soon as possible .

The airship traveled along the safe passage, and every time they arrived at a spot where the Direbeasts were entrenched, they would drop a group of Arcanists .

An hour later, they finally arrived at Longquan Town .

“Captain Ling, we have arrived at Longquan Town!”

Xu Yuanhui said, “Your mission is to clean up all of the Direbeasts within a hundred miles of Longquan Town . Once you are done, we will come to pick you up!”

“No problem!”

…

Longquan Town was surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the mountains were covered with towering trees and lush plants . Together with the dilapidated buildings and streets, it felt like a long-lost ancient city .

“Brother Chen, where is the Fourth-Order Direbeast pack located?” Ling Jiu looked at Chen Feng .

“We are at the southeast corner of Longquan Town, and the Fourth-Order Direbeast pack happens to be on the northwest corner, more than 30 miles away!” Chen Feng replied .

“Let’s go, and slaughter our way through!”

Ling Jiu ordered .

“Yes, Captain Ling!”

“Woof!”

Not long into their walk, two giant dogs suddenly appeared in the jungle ahead .

They were four meters tall and were more than seven meters long, with fangs exposed from the side, and a menacing look in their eyes .

“Watch out, it’s a Class 3 Hillborer Mastiff!”

Huang Hailong called out, and the members of both squads immediately went on alert, as they took out their weapons and surrounded it cautiously . They cannot afford to be careless when against a Third-Order Direbeast!

Yet, before they even got close, two giant hands suddenly slammed down from the sky . With a loud crack, the screams ended abruptly, and the two Hillborer Mastiffs were smashed into a paste by the giant hands .

“Advance!”

Ling Jiu put away the corpses and continued to press on . Chen Feng and the others looked at each other with shocked expressions .

They were all Level 3 Wild Hunter squads, and they usually hunted Third-Order Direbeasts, so, against any Third-Order Direbeast, they would deal with it with utmost caution .

It was nothing like what was happening now!

He killed two Third-Order Direbeasts with a single slap! It was way too easy!

“Just because he is a level higher, he can do whatever he wants?”

“Seems like it!”

“Stop lollygagging and hurry up!”

In the next moment, the two squads finally realized what it meant to do whatever one wanted .

Ling Jiu stood at the vanguard as he opened the way, be it Second or Third-Order Direbeasts, he would just slap them to death in a single blow .

In a rampaging sweep, it only took an hour for them to slay everything between the southeast corner of Longquan until the northwest corner where the Fourth-Order Direbeast pack was, during which more than three hundred Third-Order Direbeasts were slain .

“Three hundred Third-Order Direbeasts!”

“I’m not dreaming, am I?”

“Normally when we go into the wilderness for a few months, we may not be able to kill so many Third-Order Direbeasts, and yet we did it today in only an hour’s time!”

“And, it had never been easier!”

“Yeah, there is no need for fear nor caution . We simply just sweep and push on, is this the power of a level 4 Arcanist?”

“I’ve been a Wild Hunter for almost ten years now, and I’ve never been so relaxed as today!”

“Yeah…”

All of the squad members were amazed, and they looked at Ling Jiu in awe .

This was Ling Jiu, killing Third-Order Direbeasts like he was slaughtering cannon fodders . For him to do whatever he wanted in a dangerous wilderness like Longquan Town, it was just too awesome!

“Everyone, on your guard!”

Ling Jiu spoke . “The Direbeast pack not too far away seems to be a pack of ant-type Direbeasts, and by the looks of it… they are the Greatmaw Ants!”

“What?!”

“Greatmaw Ants!!”

The squad members were taken aback at first, then they were shocked as their expressions changed . “Captain Ling, the Fourth-Order Direbeasts pack is actually the Greatmaw Ants?”

“It shouldn’t be wrong!”

Ling Jiu nodded slightly . “There are about 3,000 of them, and among them, about 7 to 8 are Fourth-Order Greatmaw Ants, while the rest are Third-Order!”

“Greatmaw Ants huh, it’s the end of the road now, let’s withdraw!”

“They are Greatmaw Ants, how can we kill them?”

“Captain Ling, how about we withdraw?”

The team members’ faces were ashen, and they were unable to hide the fear in their eyes . Among the Direbeasts, the ant-types were the most difficult to deal with . Generally, ant-type Direbeasts had the following three characteristics:

First, a terrifying number of them!

Second, unbridled strength!

Third, invincible defenses!

The Greatmaw Ants, as the leader of the ant-type Fourth-Order Direbeasts, the most frightening thing about them was not their numbers, strength, or defense, but their…speed!”

The Greatmaw Ants was the Fourth-Order Direbeast with the fastest attack speed . They were fast as lightning, and the speed of their bite was unparalleled .

They can close their maw and bite their prey in 0 . 13 milliseconds, 2,300 times faster than the speed of a human’s blink, which was ridiculously fast!

In the face of a pack of Direbeasts with great strength, numbers, and defense, they would normally circle around them when they ran into a pack like this .

For them to hunt them?

You had to be joking!
