The fierce wind swept over the sand dunes.
A swarm of locusts swept across the wheat field.
The entire mountain range emitted a mournful wail.
Under the near-ground-scraping plundering development of Zheng Tian’s team, the mouse-type Ruined Beasts on Rat Cliff Mountain felt the pain.
...
The most dangerous situation for the team all day was the sudden encounter with five Ruined Beasts.
Four First Level, and one Second Level.
Originally, Ren Zhong remembered that there were only four First Level mouse types there.
They avoided it last time, but this time, under his intelligence guidance, Zheng Tian decided to launch a frontal attack.
It wasn’t difficult.
The four of them with combat capabilities could settle it with pair-matched skirmishes.
But unexpectedly, just as they started on the creatures, another Second Level mouse-type suddenly rushed out from inside the hole.
The vehicle’s sensor was fooled.
That was actually a chain nest, a hole within a hole with the Second Level Ruined Beast Shadow Mouse lurking inside. It was a terrifying life form, only one foot long, pitch black and hairless, with extremely strong concealment abilities, and extraordinary speed, unlike ordinary mice that focus on gnawing with teeth, it excelled in claw attacks.
This was another unpredictable mishap, but not surprising.
The relationship between humans and Ruined Beasts is essentially mutual hunting.
Such unexpected situations occur everywhere at any time.
There are thousands of Scavengers in the town, and on average, a few die each day, sometimes dozens.
After the accident, Zheng Tian made a quick decision, firing two shots to lure away two First Level mouse types.
Ou Youning urgently laid out a high-power explosive trap.
Wen Lei originally intended to confront the Shadow Mouse and hold it off, but he was easily shaken off, immediately getting entangled by another First Level mouse type, feeling helpless.
Bai Feng tried to intercept the creature but was a step too slow.
Both fortunately and unfortunately, the Shadow Mouse went straight for Ren Zhong.
Something unexpected happened.
Ren Zhong, gripping the Heavy Sword Battle Blade with both hands, did not quickly falter under the Shadow Mouse’s charge.
It chose the wrong opponent.
Ren Zhong held his ground, his figure twisting and spinning rapidly.
The wide Battle Blade spun around, flipping up and down.
The First Level hard alloy Battle Blade weighs a total of 76 kilograms, and if used like a rapier, a lot of power would be wasted controlling the inertia.
Ren Zhong’s spinning technique was precisely to leverage the centrifugal force to guide the inertia, utilizing the rigidity of the armor material, and converting the exoskeleton’s power to the maximum into the Battle Blade’s kinetic energy.
He looked like a child spinning with a fairy wand in hand.
His body speed couldn’t match the Shadow Mouse, but the tip of his whirling Battle Blade could barely keep up with it.
Only the sound of clinking and clanking could be heard.
Black shadows flickered around the snowball-spinning Ren Zhong, with sparks shooting off continuously.
Nobody knew how he did it, but the fact proved that the tip of his Battle Blade could precisely and swiftly meet the charging Shadow Mouse.
He successfully held off this strong enemy.
Including Zheng Tian, who was being chased by two mouse types, everyone watched with eyes twitching, clicking their tongues in amazement.
Only Ren Zhong himself knew best.
He could do this not by luck or extraordinary performance.
He relied precisely on a Brain Reaction Index that had already exceeded the limit of a Second Level Professional, reaching as high as 51.2.
His brain always stayed a step ahead of his body, allowing him to timely capture the Shadow Mouse’s movements.
Moreover, his body control, honed through high-intensity matches with AI robots in the intermediate training area, also helped significantly.
He imitated three to five tenths of the essence of the double-handed sword technique he saw from Master Yu Chenghui in his memory.
Seeing others dumbfounded, Ren Zhong shouted angrily, "Don’t just stand there! Move it! I can’t hold on much longer! Ou Youning! You don’t need a massive blast, just get a big fragmentation mine ready!"
Although his brain was sufficient, his body was far behind, and Ren Zhong’s physical condition was rapidly declining.
One minute later.
Bai Feng shredded his opponent.
Wen Lei flattened the Ruined Beast mouse type that was tightly clinging to him with his heavy shield.
Zheng Tian, fighting one against two, even succeeded in counter-killing.
As for Ren Zhong, he held out until Ou Youning set up the trap, then moved step by step, luring the Shadow Mouse over.
