Chapter 913 Not Enough?

Name:Re: Evolution Online Author:
Forty was nowhere close to the full strength of the Crimson Abyss guild, but these people had been training together even before the apocalypse began, so their coordination and combat abilities were nothing to scoff at.

And in front of these insects, they did not falter easily.

The melee players stood next to the tanks and made sure that they did not become overwhelmed. 

The long-range dps split into three groups, one recovering the mana and the other providing a backup for the tanks, and the last one taking out the insects one by one by aiming for their weak spot.

Lan Fen and Lan Deming particularly stood out as their high mana affinity clearly showed in this battle. 

Lan Fen, especially, was taking out the insects left and right and pulling apart the swarm at a frightening speed. 

Lan Deming coordinated with Shin Soo and the two of them, along with Alex, kept the group from being completely surrounded in all directions.

Other than these two, there were two more people who very obviously stood out. This was none other than Shen Yue and Mei Mei. 

At this time, the might of the two legendary items outshone everyone else, demonstrating just how overpowered they were. 

Merely equipping these items boosted the duo's stats by ten levels at least, and thanks to their non-stop dungeon run in the past couple of days, their base level was also no longer 20. 

It was inching closer to 30, and with the legendary items equipped and their stat boosts, they were almost at Level 40!

This might not be anywhere close to Liam's power level at the moment, but taking out these insects was still within their limits. 

They were more than ready to play the numbers game of this swarm of weirdos that had shown up unexpectedly. 

With each stroke of the twin daggers, Shen yue was taking down at least five of the insects, splattering their green blood everywhere. 

Mei Mei's attacks were like missiles that shot down the enemy, leaving no room for error. Whenever she cast her bigger, wider area range attacks, the insects fell by dozens.

With these heavy punchers and everyone also pulling their weight in the group, the swarm quickly became tame, and their numbers were finally beginning to thin down.

The dense, overwhelming bizarre tornado of insects was slowly starting to clear out.

However, how could things be so easy?

As the number of these insects started falling further, all of a sudden, a loud sound erupted from the hive hill.

BOOM! 

A shockwave swept past everyone, bringing the guild's attention to the hive hill. Everyone had a bad feeling, and just like they feared… from within the hill, a second wave of insects started emerging. 

BZZT! BZZT! BZZZT! BZZZT!

A ringing noise jammed the entire space as more and more insects shot out from the hive hill, and the swarm once again became denser.

As if this wasn't enough, this time, weirdly, the insects seemed to be bigger in size!

"What the hell are these?" Alex cursed out loud at this completely unfair turn of events. Just when they thought that this evening was over, more bizarre creatures arrived.

These insects were originally just half their size, and yet they were so difficult to manage thanks to their sheer numbers, but now things had suddenly gone from bad to worse.

In this second wave, the insects were bigger in size, almost the same size as a human being or perhaps even bigger. But their speed was still the same. 

The bastards were quite fast and had cutting attacks that made it difficult for everyone to evade them. They were now also strong to boot and probably at a higher level.

"We can do this! Group back up. Everyone, get together. Don't break away. We can take care of this!" Alex shouted hoarsely. She did not want anyone to lose focus.

She was going all out in tanking this second wave of insects. With Mei Mei and Shen Yue also standing firmly, she believed that the power of the legendary and the epic-grade items would still come through and help keep their advantage.

The bigger insects were equally vulnerable to the twin serpentine daggers just like the smaller ones, and Shen Yue was easily taking down two to three at a time. Mei Mei's attacks also hit hard, and the insects struggled to cope.

After the initial surprise of the second second wave and the increase in the number of these insects, the group started slowly dealing with them all over again. 

Not to mention these insects were also a treasure trove of experience points.

They did not have to run around. They did not have to farm for targets spending a lot of time. In the place where they were standing, they were completely surrounded by these insects. 

All they had to do was make sure that their every hit fell on an insect, and that wasn't hard at all as they simply had to throw around their weapons blindly and would still hit something.

The only catch was that they had to survive this terrifying nightmare somehow. If they did, then their growth would be tremendous.

Experience points were raining down endlessly. Almost all of the guild members had leveled up twice, at least in just a span of a few minutes. 

From the looks of things, even killing these insects with grenades and guns gave away experience points.

Hao Yuze was embarrassed to take advantage of this as everyone else was fighting outside with their lives on the line while he was sitting inside a fighter tank in a protective cocoon. 

Nevertheless, he did what he needed to do and took all the experience points that came his way by using the tanks non-stop. 

He was also providing cover for Alex whenever it became too difficult for her to handle the swarm in front of her, so he was being at least a little helpful.

Lan Deming and Lan Fen had also leveled up three times. 

Everyone was becoming stronger with each insect they put down, and because of the additional stat points they gained, fighting these nightmares was also becoming easier.

However, there was still a problem… stamina!
