Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 21 Killing Technique
Following the route planned by the convoy, Qin Ming and his party continued to go deeper into the city. The density of monsters became greater and greater, and their strength became stronger and stronger.

Bang!
Yue Shan held a shield tower that was large enough to cover most of his body, and slammed it into the head of a mid-level beast general-level lion mastiff, knocking the lion mastiff against the wall.

Then Zhang Yan smashed his head with his exaggeratedly large war hammer. The whole battle process was extremely violent.

In comparison, Captain Lu Haochuan's fighting style is more pleasing to the eye.

The gun is like a dragon, and every shot can kill a monster accurately.

No matter whether it was a primary beast general, an intermediate beast general, or even a high-level beast general, it was difficult for them to survive a round in his hands, which was an eye-opener for Qin Ming.

“Yo~~”

"Quack~~"

Hundreds of birds covered the sky and flew over, attracted by the smell of blood below.

call out!call out!call out!
Twelve flying knives soared into the sky, weaving through the group of flying monsters, causing large amounts of blood to splatter. Corpses fell from the sky with a loud noise.

An endless stream of monster souls were devoured by the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

As a gathering place for monsters, City 003 is the largest base camp in the entire Eurasian continent. It not only has walking beasts, but also various flying monsters.

As a psychic protected in the center of the team, Qin Ming mainly dealt with flying monsters.

The group continued to move forward on the street.

"Haha, it's great to have a spiritualist here. I don't even have to pay attention to the sky."

Zhang Yan laughed heartily.

Most warriors hate flying monsters very much because the initiative of the battle is completely in the hands of the opponent and they can only passively defend.

Flying monsters often live in groups and can see far from the sky. Killing one will attract a group of them, making it difficult to guard against them.

Bang!
Xiao Heng held the sniper rifle and fired continuously, killing several flying monsters that looked like seagulls and were hovering in the sky.

"No, I'm much less stressed."

In the past, killing flying monsters was basically his job, and he had to use heavy machine guns to shoot them. Occasionally, if there were some powerful ones that slipped through the net, the team leader Lu Haochuan would take care of them with flying knives.

But now it is no longer necessary, you can just use a sniper rifle to deal with those that are farther away. Flying monsters tend to have low defense, and firearms are very lethal to them.

"There are too many of these flying monsters. Even if we clear them out, there will still be a lot more when the main force arrives from the rear, right?"

While killing the flying monster, Qin Ming also expressed his doubts.

The effect of them opening up roads in the city doesn't seem to be very great. Given the density of monsters in City 003, it won't be long before a large number of monsters appear here again.

Especially the flying monsters, they are simply endless to kill.

In just a few hours, he killed nearly a thousand of them.

"That's nothing we can do! We can only try to reduce the number of monsters on this road. When the supply convoy is dispatched, it will still attract many monsters to attack.

Every supply operation is a battle.

Those monsters won't want to see us achieve our goals easily.

In addition to king-level monsters, lord-level monsters may also be dispatched, so our team will also have a god of war in charge.

In order to pin the war base on City 003, every action we take has to come at a huge cost.

But if we don’t do this, and allow sea monsters to enter inland through waterways, the harm they cause will be even greater.”

Lu Haochuan's face was calm, but there was a hint of helplessness in his words.

The war base was too large, and the resources consumed daily to operate it were staggering. Relying on air transport and other means was insufficient.

Land is the main mode of transportation.

"I understand! That is to kill! Kill as many as possible!" Qin Ming did not ask any more questions, but increased the efficiency of killing. The souls in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner surged out, and he tried his best to kill all the approaching flying monsters.

To them, these flying monsters were only at the beast soldier level and did not pose much of a threat.

But for ordinary soldiers, it is still deadly.

“This section of the road is not very long, only a few dozen miles.

We will clear out most of them, and the rear convoy will just pass quickly. Our army is no pushover, and we can defeat a beast tide even if we encounter one.

It's much safer once we leave City 003 and enter the wilderness."

Xiao Heng said with a smile when he saw Qin Ming's expression.

The Tianjian Special Forces have walked this road more than a dozen times. Each time they set out two days in advance and cleaned the area twice. They have long been accustomed to it.

"Let's go! Go into the building and rest for a while, then continue cleaning up!"

About three hours later, Lu Haochuan waved his hand.

Qin Ming and others carefully and quickly rushed into a residential building. The building had 26 floors and a monster was hidden inside.

Everyone searched all the way upwards.

brush!
Ling Qianye, who was exploring the way ahead, suddenly swung his two swords, instantly slashing across the neck of a junior beast general tiger cat. He then moved quickly through the corridor like a ghost, killing more than ten beast soldier-level monsters in a row.

Not a single sound was made during the entire process.

"What a ghostly movement, worthy of being called 'Night Owl'." Qin Ming, who was watching this scene clearly from behind, couldn't help but admire.

It wasn't noticeable during the sparring at the base.

But when it really entered the wilderness, Night Owl's powerful skills were revealed.

"This is a display of perfect physical skills. Night Owl is the only one in our team besides me who has mastered perfect physical skills.

Yue Shan has only mastered the subtle level of body movement, and is still a little distance away from the perfect level."

Lu Haochuan looked around, paying close attention to the movements around him, and then spoke.

"Perfect level of physical skills?"

Qin Ming was shocked. He didn't expect Ling Qianye's skills to be so strong.

The levels of body techniques can be divided into four levels: basic, subtle, perfect, and artistic conception.

With exquisitely refined acrobatic skills, one can achieve extremely subtle control over strength and body, making the most exquisite evasions with minimal effort. Each movement and evasion is as if calculated by a computer.

He is still at the basic level, and can only barely cheat by relying on his mental power.

The perfect level of physical skills is even more powerful. It can utilize any object around it, such as life, stone, buildings, etc. It can perfectly utilize the environment and dodge with the most precision.

In this kind of urban ruins and extremely complex terrain, a warrior with perfect body skills is very terrifying.

In comparison, his body movements are quite poor.

"Hey, my agility is just a little bit away from perfection. Everyone else on the team is at least at the subtle level, and the captain is even stronger, he's at the realm of mind."

Zhang Yan grinned at the shocked Qin Ming. This was the only consolation left in his heart. Although Qin Ming was very talented, his physical skills were not like his mental power. He had to practice hard for a long time before he could achieve anything.

"Artistic conception?" Qin Ming looked at the captain. He thought the captain was also at the perfect level, but he didn't expect that he was even stronger.

"I'm almost forty, there's nothing to be proud of." Lu Haochuan shook his head slightly. "You haven't had much actual combat experience, and your physical skills improve the fastest in actual combat."

"Well, that does require more practice. Captain, can I lead the way later?
I can use my mental power to explore, and while dealing with flying monsters, I can also practice my body movements and close combat."

After clearing out all the monsters in the building, Qin Ming hesitated for a moment and spoke.
