Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 103: Chapter 103 Disarmament (Eighth Update)

After dozens of people were hit by arrows, Kong Tianqing’s team finally reacted. Everyone closed ranks, using their weapons to fend off the feathered arrows to avoid being hit in the face, especially the eyes.

Huang Wen and the others were not yet able to pierce their hard armor with their feathered arrows, and even if they could, it wouldn’t cause further damage. So, once they began actively defending, Huang Wen and the others’ arrows became less threatening, serving only as a distraction.

Kong Tianqing’s team included a dozen archers who immediately drew their bows and shot at the birdmen flying in the air.

These archers’ arrows were far deadlier than the feathered arrows. In a flash, several people were hit and forced to land on the ground or fly away at a distance.

Seeing something was off, Huang Wen quickly instructed the team to fly away and evade.

Bird Beast Souls are generally only possessed by females, and there were no girls or flying individuals in Kong Tianqing’s team. Facing the airborne attacks from Huang Wen and the others, they were helpless.

Liu Yong and others jumped in frustration, yelling:

”Shoot, keep shooting! Don’t kill them. Those Bird Beast Souls are all girls. Shoot them down.”

However, those dozen archers didn’t dare leave the protection of the main team to chase Huang Wen and the others; otherwise, if Huang Wen and her team swarmed over, it would be unbearable for them.

At this moment, Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, and Dai Yun led the Close Combat Beast Soul team onto the field. Feifei led the Plant Soul System team, and Chen Lu led the Elemental Magic team, creating a grand spectacle.

Based on the combat experience from recent days, Xiao Zhe led the team in an orderly manner, with various units combined to form small teams of six or seven that could switch between offensive and defensive roles.

Huang Wen returned with the flying team, unleashing a barrage of feathered arrows. Although Kong Tianqing’s people weren’t afraid of arrows hitting their bodies, they feared hits to their heads, especially their eyes, forcing them to divert their attention to dodge the airborne arrows.

This gave Xiao Zhe and the others an opportunity to exploit.

Kong Tianqing suddenly realized that the people of Kongming Academy were not the ragtag band he had imagined, but a team with strong coordinated combat power.

Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, Dai Yun, Feifei, and others charged forward. Elemental Mages interspersed among them, releasing a storm of Ice Balls, Fireballs, Wind Blades, and Lightning, rolling forward with unstoppable force.

Though Kong Tianqing’s team of three hundred was formidable, composed mostly of Close Combat Beast Souls, they were no match for Kongming Academy’s seven hundred in a melee skirmish or close combat.

However, Kongming Academy now operated as a mixed-formation legion, integrating various combat elements.

First came a wave of Ice Balls, Fireballs, Wind Blades, and Lightning. The Ice Balls and Lightning instantly numbed people, slowing their reactions, forcing them to dodge the powerful burning damage of the Fireballs. The Wind Blades whipped up dust, blinding them.

When you were dazzled and slow to react, Feifei and the others from the Plant Soul System ensnared everyone’s hands, legs, necks, and bodies with vines. Before you could break free, the Close Combat Beast Soul Warriors led by Xiao Zhe, Zhao Gang, and Dai Yun rushed in.

This was a completely asymmetric war, leaving the typically aggressive Kong Tianqing and others stupefied, unable to exert their might, like heroes with no battlefield.

In less than half an hour, Kong Tianqing’s team was more than half defeated, with dozens killed and the rest lying immobile on the ground.

Xu Nanqiang led several hundred logistics personnel, fully demonstrating their prowess in raiding the helpless enemies on the ground, striking them again, beating their heads with swords, or stabbing holes in their arms and thighs.

Kong Tianqing and Liu Yong made several unsuccessful attacks and were eventually surrounded with no hope of breaking through.

The airborne feathered arrows, long-range ice, fire, wind, and lightning, various vine entanglements, plus the Beast Soul attacks, led Kong Tianqing and his team to feel desperate.

Xiao Zhe’s team fought with increasing valor, after several rounds of combat left the people of Xianan University searching desperately in all directions. Kong Tianqing was covered in blood, ultimately with just over a dozen people left, standing back-to-back like trapped beasts.

Xiao Zhe waved his hand to stop further attacks.

Naturally, he recognized Kong Tianqing.

”Kong Tianqing, what did you mean by bringing Xianan University’s people to attack us?”

Kong Tianqing no longer had his former arrogance, looking dejectedly defeated, and said helplessly:

”Xiao Zhe, it’s a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!”

”Misunderstanding? You brought people over without a word, killed several of us, injured dozens, and then threatened to take over Kongming Academy and make us your slaves. Is that a misunderstanding?”

Xu Nanqiang rushed over, loudly questioning.

His words ignited the fury of Huang Wen and the other girls.

Feifei was the first to shout:

”No respect for women, beastly behavior! I’ll hack you apart!”

Saying this, she shook her chains, ready to charge ahead, but was stopped by Zhao Gang.

”Sister Feifei, wait, let Xiao Zhe handle this.”

Xiao Zhe was one of the three appointed by Yang Xiao, along with Huang Wen and Zhao Gang, to make consistent decisions on various matters.

Being steady by nature, and having been friends in the past with Kong Tianqing and Xia Luo, Xiao Zhe didn’t want to escalate things further or kill Kong Tianqing.

”Kong Tianqing, tell me, was attacking us Xia Luo’s idea?”

Kong Tianqing hesitated for a moment before answering:

”Yes, it was Xia Luo’s suggestion. Xia Luo wanted to reclaim your Kongming Academy, and since you killed our people several times, we naturally wanted revenge. Heh, Xiao Zhe, you know very well, our Xianan University is far stronger than you. Be sensible and release us, or else when Xia Luo comes with a large force, you’ll be doomed.”

Zhao Gang, with a fiery temper, rushed up and slapped Kong Tianqing twice.

”Pa! Pa!”

The clear, crisp sound left Kong Tianqing seeing stars.

”Damn you, still daring to threaten me when you’re on the brink of death? Do you think I’m easily scared? To be honest, even if Xia Luo comes with people, I’d dare kill you right in front of him.”

Kong Tianqing, usually full of pride, was now a prisoner, slapped by Zhao Gang in public and too dazed to utter any protest.

Xiao Zhe instructed Dai Yun and Feifei to surround Kong Tianqing, and confiscated all the weapons from the remaining three hundred people, which immediately became the powerful arsenal for the close combat beast souls of Kongming Academy.

Zhao Gang yelled even louder:

”Why be courteous with the enemy? Strip everyone’s hard armor off and put it on our Close Combat Beast Souls.”

The newly armed attackers immediately swarmed around the Xianan University people, forcibly removing the Defensive Armor off them and donning it themselves.

Compared to cloth armor, this immediately increased their defense by 2 points, delightful to everyone.

Someone yelled out:

”Their boots aren’t bad either.”

So everyone started taking off the boots from these people.

”Their rings are good too, adding 1 more attribute than ours.”

A group of people immediately started removing the rings from Xianan University personnel.

In this exchange of taking and wearing, Kongming Academy instantly equipped three hundred Close Combat Beast Soul Warriors in Defensive Armor, leaving the Xianan University people like plucked phoenixes.

Feifei tried to take off Kong Tianqing’s hard armor, but Dai Yun stopped her.

”Sister Feifei, don’t be in such a rush!”
