Swallowing the Stars: Time Simulation

Chapter 29 Combat

"Alright, this Bloodthirsty Tank will be left for Yang Wu to practice on!" Chu Tian instructed, "Everyone, follow me to kill the beast horde, and make sure to capture the Bloodthirsty Tank!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The Phantom Squad of six was fully prepared. Although their target was only a pack of beasts led by a low-level Beast General, they would go all out once the battle began.

"attack!"

At Chu Tian's command, he charged ahead towards the horde of monsters to the left.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Instantly, the six members of the Phantom Squad transformed into six afterimages and charged towards the horde of beasts.

At the forefront were Chu Tian and Zhou Zheng, two high-level generals, followed closely by Wang Zhi, Zheng Tao, and Lu Qing, while Yang Wu, who was only a junior general, lagged behind at the very back.

At the same time, Lu Qing, who was running at full speed, drew his bow and nocked an arrow. Several silver streaks flew out first, shooting towards the beast horde like lightning. The throwing knives clipped to Chu Tian's combat uniform also flew up instantly and hovered around him.

The distance of over a thousand meters was covered in the blink of an eye.

The first to arrive were the arrows shot by Lu Qing.

Before the beast horde could react, several arrows had already pierced the center of the horde, taking the lives of several beast-soldier level monsters in the process.

"Boom..."

With a loud bang, the miniature bombs carried on the arrows suddenly exploded, the powerful blast instantly killing the monsters near the arrows, and the horde was also thrown into disarray by the explosion.

The bomb's power was limited; at most, it could only harm a few monsters at the center of the explosion. As for the Beast General-level Bloodthirsty Tank, it wasn't injured at all.

Of course, this is also why Lu Qing deliberately avoided the Bloodthirsty Tank with his arrows. Otherwise, with Lu Qing's strength as a mid-level general, he could have seriously injured the Bloodthirsty Tank with a single arrow.

"roar!!"

The leader of the horde, a bloodthirsty tank entirely red, finally spotted the six members of the Phantom Squad. Its fur stood on end, like steel needles.

The beasts surrounding the Bloodthirsty Tank roared furiously, their cries echoing across the wilderness, filled with rage and madness. Led by the Bloodthirsty Tank, the frenzied boars charged towards the humans ahead.

call out!call out!call out!

The throwing knives surrounding Chu Tian finally moved, and the eight knives instantly transformed into eight afterimages.

"Pfft!"

The throwing knife pierced the throat of a one-horned boar, and then, under Chu Tian's control, it pierced the head of another monster with astonishing speed.

With eight throwing knives, in the blink of an eye, all the dozens of monsters charging at the forefront, except for the Bloodthirsty Tank, lost their lives!

The distance of over a thousand meters did not allow Chu Tian to create too much of a gap with the rest of the Phantom Squad.

"Captain, leave a few for me!"

Yang Wu only heard Zheng Tao laugh loudly, and then a black streak of light shot out from Zheng Tao's hand at an astonishing speed.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a large black hammer.

boom!

The black hammer instantly crushed the beast-soldier-level monster charging at the front, but still charged at another monster at full speed, killing it.

Immediately afterward, a blur rushed into the horde of beasts; it was Zheng Tao, unleashing his full speed.

Zheng Tao quickly retrieved his free-hand hammer and began to slaughter the beasts.

With a few loud thuds, the heads of the monsters surrounding Zheng Tao were smashed open.

At the same time, Wang Zhi, wielding a sword and shield, also charged into the horde of beasts. Several flashes of cold light appeared, and all the monsters near him were decapitated.

On one side was a small horde of beasts led by a low-level beast general, and on the other side was a phantom squad composed entirely of warrior generals, each member of which was an elite warrior general.

The difference in strength is simply too great.

In less than a minute, the beast horde was wiped out by the Phantom Squad, leaving only a low-level beast general-level Bloodthirsty Tank that occasionally let out low growls.

Monsters are inherently brutal, and pig-like monsters aren't very intelligent either, but to become a Beast General-level monster, this bloodthirsty tank has gained some intelligence.

Faced with a group of humans who could take its life at any moment, the Bloodthirsty Tank was terrified and dared not make a move.

"Yang Wu, this bloodthirsty tank is yours now!"

Chu Tian said calmly as he wiped the blood-dripping throwing knife from his hand.

"Yang Wu, this is your first time facing a Beast General-level monster. Be careful, you can do it!" Zhou Zheng reminded him from the side.

"Yang Wu, keep it up!" Zheng Tao encouraged him from the side.

The other two, Lu Qing and Wang Zhi, also looked at Yang Wu.

As for the Bloodthirsty Tank, which was at the level of a low-level Beast General, no one paid any attention to it. If it weren't for the purpose of training Yang Wu, the materials from this Bloodthirsty Tank would have already been put into the Phantom Squad's backpack.

Yang Wu grinned and said, "Captain, Brother Zhou, just watch as I retrieve the materials from this Bloodthirsty Tank!"

After saying that, Yang Wu quickly moved closer to the Bloodthirsty Tank in front of him.

"Captain, you'd better be careful. Don't let this bloodthirsty tank hurt Yang Wu. Otherwise, it'll be hard to explain to Supervisor Zhuge!" Zhou Zheng couldn't help but remind him.

After learning that Yang Wu had joined the Phantom Squad, Zhuge Tao personally treated Chu Tian and Zhou Zheng to a meal and asked them to take care of Yang Wu.

"rest assured!"

Chu Tian nodded slowly. Although he didn't move his hands, his mental energy was constantly surrounding Yang Wu. If he sensed anything amiss, he would immediately take action.

……

At this moment, Yang Wu had stopped about a hundred meters in front of the Bloodthirsty Tank. Because of the other members of the Phantom Squad, the Bloodthirsty Tank dared not make any rash moves, and Yang Wu was also staring intently at the Bloodthirsty Tank in front of him.

"Combining movement and stillness, using stillness to control movement!"

Yang Wu carefully observed the Bloodthirsty Tank in front of him, trying to find its weaknesses.

"This is my first battle, and it's a test for me from the captains. I have to fight well!"

Yang Wu thought to himself.

"roar!!"

The bloodthirsty tank roared, it could no longer hold back, even if it meant death, it would make these humans pay the price.

"boom!!"

The Bloodthirsty Tank suddenly sped up, as if it had truly transformed into a high-speed tank, unstoppable, and crashed directly into Yang Wu from the front.

"We can't block it head-on!"

Yang Wu's heart stirred, and he used his movement technique, which was close to the microscopic level, to dodge away as quickly as a nimble monkey.

At the same time, Yang Wu's Broken Army Spear thrust out from the side at an incredible angle, like a bolt of lightning, piercing the Bloodthirsty Tank's abdomen just as he and the tank passed each other.

"Awoo!"

With a huge wound ripped open in its abdomen by the Broken Army Gun, the Bloodthirsty Tank let out a painful roar.

But just as Yang Wu was about to miss it—

Whoosh!

A dark shadow shot towards Yang Wu's heart.

"So fast!"

Yang Wu was startled and quickly twisted his body to avoid the dark figure. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the tail of the Bloodthirsty Tank, which resembled a long whip.

"court death!"

Enraged by the sneak attack from the Bloodthirsty Tank's tail, Yang Wu unleashed a "Returning Spear" move!

Yang Wu placed his right hand on the butt of the gun barrel and gently twisted his left hand in the middle of the barrel!

puff!

The spinning spearhead pierced directly into the rear door of the Bloodthirsty Tank from behind!

"roar--"

The bloodthirsty tank roared wildly, then suddenly turned around and rammed into Yang Wu.

The bloodthirsty tank, severely wounded, becomes even more frenzied!
