The group continued onward. Yin Zhen had to use all his strength to open up a path for them.
Fenrir had an easier time because all he needed to do was cause as much ruckus as possible in the area while keeping up with the group. He could throw the alien around before leaping over them and landing next to the group again.
Meanwhile, Sasha focused on scratching the enemies. Her power activated and started corroding both the alien and the symbiote, causing their veins to bulge weirdly. Some of them even burst within the aliens' bodies.
This curse allowed her to defeat her enemies in rapid succession. If she couldn't hit them, she simply moved on. After all, a swarm of aliens would soon overrun them and block their path.
That was Nathan's tactic. He summoned smaller bullets and shot the aliens. Not a single bullet was strong enough to pierce through the aliens' skin, but that was enough to distract the aliens for a second.
Once they were outrun, they couldn't easily catch up. They simply had to repeat this until they broke through the enemy's rank.
David looked powerless because he really couldn't help any of them with his meager strength. Risa and Selena simply observed the entire situation and acted once one or two aliens slipped past those four.
In addition, there was a growing concern on their back.
"!!!" Nathan noticed the increasing number of aliens chasing from behind. He thought, 'Not good. Our speed is not fast enough. They're going to catch up. The aliens from the side that have been outrun by us are also circling...'
He thought they could escape through their efforts alone, but it seemed he had to involve others as well. "Risa! Stop those aliens on our back! Yin Zhen doesn't have enough speed to break through, so help him, Selena!"
Both of them acknowledged his order.
Selena sped up and waved her staff, sweeping all aliens on Yin Zhen's left. Yin Zhen couldn't help but smile as if trying to say this was his summoner, a girl with powerful strength, unlike Nathan.
Selena's help allowed Yin Zhen to focus on the other side, resulting in the group's speed increasing.
Trees and aliens started falling down, creating a chain of reaction from the rest of the aliens.
Risa couldn't help but smile, as this was her original plan. She immediately sent forth multiple blood tornadoes to destroy a part of the trunk and snapped the trees in the aliens' direction.
In addition, Selena and Yin Zhen kept opening the path.
"Amazing." David sucked a cold breath. 'The guy is rational, calm, and smart enough to command the entire battle. The girl might not talk a lot, but her strength is undeniable. Because of them and their familiars...'
David smiled, looking at the front. With another blast from Yin Zhen, the space finally opened up. They had finally broken through the enemy's encirclement without losing a single person.
It was impossible for the knights to do it because they couldn't cut the trees easily, but this was enough.
David shouted, "Go that way! The sound is not far away. We can reach it within a minute or two!"
All of them nodded their heads, except for Nathan. Even though they were able to escape, there were things that bothered Nathan.
'The mutant from earlier has disappeared again. Where does it go? And where are the rest of the juvenile class aliens? There's no way there isn't a single juvenile class among hundreds of aliens. This feels ominous.' Nathan's expression turned grim.
By the time they reached the mutant class alien, it was time for Nathan to pay for the price of the mistake he unknowingly had made.
The juvenile class mutant had reached the cave east of the military camp. There was still some fresh blood from the two patrol soldiers.
The mutant opened its mouth, releasing the screeching sound of an alien.
As if responding to its call, aliens started emerging from the cave, a few at a time. There were hundreds of them, if not thousands. They split into two groups. The first group headed west, specifically the military camp. The rest of the aliens went to the south, where Nathan's group was located.
