Chapter 995: Same type monster

They had faced a sneak attack, so their formation wasn’t kept well. As these mutated lifeforms were quick, they were forced to battle enemies closest to them.

Battles often needed people to work with one another. By better-utilizing resources, you could increase your combat strength. This was why when two sides with similar numbers and equipment quality fought, the army would be stronger than the other.

After witnessing the resistance zone and Glory Army’s forces, Cloud Peak worked hard to develop in this direction. Xia Bai’s battle squad was the most elite squad, and their coordination was already very good, so naturally, they were one of the stronger ones.

However, they were forced to fight for themselves in the current situation, and this affected their combat strength.

Ye Zhongming took a look and knew there wasn’t much he could do. He could only select that slightly stronger mutated scorpion as his opponent.

Xia Bai faced the slightly weaker Desert Centipede.

The desert scorpion was much tougher to deal with than those zombies. This was not only because of its huge body, which was covered in thick sand armor, but also because of its many attack styles.

It had two thick, sharp pincers and a long tail that increased its range. Its agile mobility also created a chance for it to attack.

Ye Zhongming fought it several times and found it problematic. His skills smashed onto its body, causing sand to splash, but he couldn’t hurt it.

But it was only slightly problematic. Ye Zhongming was experienced in dealing with lifeforms with strong defense. He started to aim at the joints where the sand armor wasn’t as thick.

On the other side, Xia Bai’s battle against the centipede intensified.

Someone like Xia Bai would execute it firmly when she decided on something.

Ye Zhongming and Xia Bai knew that as the strongest on their side, they had to end their fight quickly to reduce the losses of their subordinates. With such a thought, her desire to risk her life began.

The two cacti were also sliced by many furious warriors. Only the zombies who lost a large amount of their numbers from the cacti attack remained.

The battle ended quickly, and although Cloud Peak won, Xia Bai’s Squad’s combat strength reached around half. Apart from those few warriors that died, half were poisoned. Although the situation wasn’t too serious, they couldn’t continue to fight.

It was obvious that they couldn’t continue to explore. Ye Zhongming gave the order to retreat to the Space Stack Gate.

On the way back, the team was solemn. Even if they found companion crystals on those monsters, which proved that they were the same source as those hundreds of zombies they had killed, but it didn’t improve their morale.

When they returned to the camp by the gate, the Cloud Peak warriors guarding the place were shocked. How did that happen?

They used saint water and potions to treat the injuries. Those with light injuries recovered quickly, and those with slightly more serious ones would recover tomorrow.

As the Posthumous people didn’t send back any bad news, Ye Zhongming could remain here. But he couldn’t think of an explanation for what he had faced.

But unexpected things always happened. That night, someone found Cloud Peak.

When he saw those few West Asians, Ye Zhongming felt respect for them. Their levels weren’t high, but they dared to travel at night.

But he couldn't sit still when he heard the news they brought.

They brought news from Shiekha Saeed.

Ye Zhongming immediately brought his squad, which had mostly recovered, to follow these people to search for the West Asian who had Star Sand.
