Chapter 36 Single-Horned Ox Beetle
Wang Xu was still recalling the aftertaste of “Romance of the Saber” after cultivating for an entire night. He was immersed in the world of the saber and did not feel tired at all.
“Huh? A call from the boss?” Wang Xu opened the communication device and Golden Shield’s face appeared on the screen.
“Wang Xu, we will accept a B-rank mission tomorrow. The opponent this time is a level-six insect beast. Be prepared,” said Golden Shield.
“No problem.”
Wang Xu stopped cultivating and took a shower after the communication ended. After changing his clothes, he began to buy the corresponding potions and tools in the Legion Mall.
“Remember, our mission this time is to kill five ‘Single-Horned Ox Beetles’. The Single-Horned Ox Beetle have super strong defensive shells that are comparable to S-grade armor.” Golden Shield sent the information to everyone.
S-grade armor!
Everyone exclaimed and looked at each other. one had to at least have an S-grade weapon to break the S-grade armor. However, in their entire legion, other than the Golden Shield’s alloy shield that was S-grade, the rest were all A-grade weapons. They couldn’t even break through the defense of the Single-Horned Ox Beetle.
Wang Xu clenched his fists. S-grade armor was not a problem for him. Xu Zhou was wearing S-grade armor when he was fighting with him. In the end, he used 20,000 kilograms of strength to wear down the durability of the S-grade armor.
“Red Eyes, use the firearms to restrain the Single-Horned Ox Beetle from afar. Once it enters a berserk state and prepares to charge, attack its eyes immediately.”
“I’m in charge of attracting the Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s attention. You guys just need to lock onto its limbs and hit all the attacks in the same place. No matter how hard the shell of the Single-Horned Ox Beetle is, it can be worn down!”
Golden Shield laid out his strategy and the men nodded. No objections. “Good! Let’s go!”
The group boarded the train and headed to the area where the Single-Horned Ox Beetle was.
“Boss, they left the legion base.” As soon as Wang Xu and the others left, White Dagger immediately received the news.
Thunder Burst suddenly stood up and said fiercely, “Let’s go. Today is the day Wang Xu dies!”
The Single-Horned Ox Beetle was very big, more than two meters tall. Its body was like a moving iron tower, and its dark insect shell flowed with a steel-like cold light.
Slash!
A large tree collapsed and smashed into the back of the Single-Horned Ox Beetle. The Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s body shook, and the tree trunk immediately broke into ashes, not leaving even a trace. “The hardness of this shell is indeed amazing.” Wang Xu and the others who saw this scene from afar sighed.
“Red Eyes, prepare to attract the Single-Horned Ox Beetle at ten o’clock,” Golden Shield instructed.
On an abandoned building three kilometers away from where Golden Shield was, Red Eyes raised the light explosive gun in his hand, aimed at the Single-Horned Ox Beetle, and gently pulled the trigger.
Bang!
An almost inaudible gunshot rang out as a red grenade shot towards the Single-Horned Ox Beetle!
“Moo!” The Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s eyes were shot by the grenade, but they didn’t explode. Not only was the Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s shell hard and terrifying, but its eyes were also the same. The Single-Horned Ox Beetle let out an angry roar as its bloodthirsty eyes looked around and instantly locked onto Golden Shield and the others not far away.
“Spread out!” Golden Shield ordered. Blue Sword and Blue Sword spread out to the left, while Wang Xu and Red Ax ran to the right. Golden Shield took out his alloy shield and blocked the Single-Horned Ox Beetle.
The Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s eyes were red, and two streams of white mist spewed out from its nose. Its huge legs that were like ox hooves stomped on the ground, and then its entire body crazily charged towards Golden Shield!
THUD!
With a loud bang, Golden Shield was forced back two steps by the huge force emitted by the Single-Horned Ox Beetle. The Single-Horned Ox Beetle was also rebounded by the recoil of the alloy shield.
Now!
Blade shadows descended from the sky from both sides. Wang Xu and the others completely enveloped the Single-Horned Ox Beetle from the left and right!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
All the attacks seemed to have hit extremely hard steel, leaving only a few tiny marks on the Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s shell.
“What a strong defense!” Golden Shield’s expression changed. Then, he quickly rushed in front of the Single-Horned Ox Beetle and used his shield to hit it to attract its attention.
Wang Xu and the others scattered again, ready to launch a second attack at any time.
“Moo!” The Single-Horned Ox Beetle was extremely furious after being attacked once. Its black steel shell began to turn red.
It was about to go into a berserk state! “Red Eyes!” Golden Shield roared.
Bang!
Another burst of grenades hit the Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s left eye again.
Wang Xu and the others pounced forward again. All their attacks landed on the Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s limbs like raindrops. This time, the attacks were more concentrated, causing cracks to appear on the Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s shell.
“Alright, that’s it!” Golden Shield revealed a look of joy and leaned forward again to attract the Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s attention…
The few of them repeatedly used this strategy to trap the Single-Horned Ox Beetle in place. There was no way for it to escape. The Single-Horned Ox Beetle wanted to enter a berserk state, but it was always stopped by a grenade and was completely entangled by it.
Although the Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s defense was heaven-defying, its attack power and movement speed were low. It could only watch helplessly as Golden Shield and the others kept attacking it.
Slash!
An hour late and after nearly fifty repeated attacks, the steel shell on the Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s two hooves completely shattered!
Wang Xu and the others revealed looks of joy. They finally made a breakthrough after spending nearly an hour. “Good! Next, everyone, focus on the area with the broken shell!”
There was no need for Golden Shield to instruct them. They already knew what to do.
A moment later.
“Boom!” The Single-Horned Ox Beetle was covered in wounds and blood. Its huge body fell to the ground.
“Rest for ten minutes. We’ll find the second one next!”
They finally killed the Single-Horned Ox Beetle after grinding for nearly an hour. The members of the Crimson Flame Legion seized this time and immediately sat down cross-legged to take a nutrient drink to rest and recover their strength.
“Boss, they’ve already started killing the third Single-Horned Ox Beetle. Should we attack?”
Dozens of kilometers away from them, the Thunder Legion crouched in an abandoned building and used super-long-distance heat binoculars to observe the movements of the Crimson Flame Legion.
“There’s no hurry.” Thunder Burst waved his hand. “They still have strength left. When they kill the fifth one, the long-range support will probably be exhausted. We’ll have a better chance when we go up then.”
“Yes, Big Brother!”
…
Bang!
There was another loud bang. Golden Shield retreated several meters and almost hit a tree trunk.
Golden Shield’s stamina was still a little exhausted after killing three Single-Horned Ox Beetles in a row for four to five hours, even though he has the S-Grade alloy shield reducing most of the force.
Wang Xu and the others rushed out again and attacked the Single-Horned Ox Beetle crazily. The wound that was already full of cracks instantly expanded, and then it ruptured with a whoosh.
“Kill!” Golden Shield perked up and rushed out again with his alloy shield.
The Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s shell turned slightly red as it tried to enter a berserk state. However, this time, no grenade flew over.
“Big Brother, the grenades have been used up!” Red Eyes’ voice came from the optical brain chip.
Golden Shield’s expression changed. If they ran out of bullets at this critical moment, wouldn’t they have to watch helplessly as the Single-Horned Ox Beetle entered a berserk state?
The Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s defense would double under the berserk state, and its attack power would also increase. They were no match for it at all when it went crazy!
Not only Golden Shield, but everyone’s eyes widened when they heard that the bullets had been used up.
“Shit! This is bad!”
The Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s outer shell became redder and redder, and its entire body turned blood-red. The white mist that spewed out of its nose also turned into flames. Its scarlet eyes were like scorching red light, emitting a bloodthirsty madness!
“Retreat! Now!” Golden Shield ordered.
Everyone quickly retreated. The Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s defense was even stronger under the rage. At this moment, no matter how strong the attack was, it was useless.
“Wang Xu, what are you doing? Hurry up and retreat!” Suddenly, Golden Shield realized that there was another figure stopping around the Single-Horned Ox Beetle. He immediately shouted.
Wang Xu turned a deaf ear. Everyone shouted at him to retreat in the optical brain chip, and he directly blocked the communication.
Wang Xu’s expression was cold as he held the Blood Bone Giant Saber in his hand. He had been attacking the Single-Horned Ox Beetle with the members of the Crimson Flame Legion for a day and had never used his full strength.
But the Single-Horned Ox Beetle was in a berserk state, and the team’s efforts would be in vain if he continued to hide.
“Moo!”
At this moment, the Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s rampage was almost coming to an end. Its entire body was already filled with blood. Its entire body seemed to have been soaked in blood as it turned into a blood-red Ox Beetle.
Its gaze was bloodthirsty and violent, and flames spewed out of its nose. When it saw Wang Xu walking towards it, it suddenly raised its blood-colored horn and charged forward crazily!
“Wang Xu!” Everyone exclaimed. Golden Shield’s expression was ugly. He picked up his alloy shield and rushed forward, wanting to help Wang Xu block this attack. However, with his speed, he couldn’t make it in time.
Wang Xu’s gaze was cold as he raised his Blood Bone Giant Saber!
The seventh technique: Violent Lightning Strike!
Bang!
The moment the Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s blood-colored horn touched Wang Xu, Wang Xu dodged to the side and perfectly dodged the Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s attack. The Blood Bone Giant Saber landed on the Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s eyes.
“Moo!” The Single-Horned Ox Beetle let out a tragic roar. The huge force of 20,000 kilograms directly shattered its eyeball into pieces, and the blood-red color on its body suddenly faded.
Berserk state, terminated!
Golden Shield and the others were all stunned by this scene.
The reason why they used the grenade to attack the Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s left eye was because the bullet could explode with a huge force the moment it came into contact with it, interrupting the Single-Horned Ox Beetle’s berserk state.
That huge force was at least 15,000 kilograms. No one present could exert such a terrifying force!
However, Wang Xu had shattered the eyeball of the Single-Horned Ox Beetle with just one slash. The power of this slash was at least 20,000 kilograms.
