Behind him, Chang Hai witnessed this scene, and while astonished, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief.

What surprised him was that this person could so easily kill a monster.

To think that just moments ago, they had to fire many shots at close range with special bullets to kill just one.

At the same time, the high anxiety Chang Hai felt was completely alleviated now that the stranger’s strength was so formidable; it looked like they were safe this time, and perhaps even the upcoming missions had a glimmer of hope.

Lord Bear and the Star Guard charged into the midst of the spiders, which had originally dispersed to surround the members of the Azure Dragon Army.

Now they could be killed one by one.

Inside the shield, the members of the Ninth Squad had already seen the spiders pounce toward them; they felt desperate, with some even ready to pull the pin on hand grenades, prepared to perish together with the monsters.

But suddenly, a ring of pale golden light appeared on the ground beside them, and the spiders charging at them couldn’t cross it by even a fraction.

On this ring of light, as if there was an invisible wall, kept the monsters on the outside.

The scene was reminiscent of Journey to the West during the battle against the White Bone Spirit, where Sun Wukong drew a circle on the ground for Tang Sanzang.

Of course, this wasn’t Sun Wukong’s circle, but a Dark Energy Technique developed by Zhang Xiaoman; it was simple to learn and very effective.

It was precisely this move that Brother Hero had just used to save them.

Meanwhile, high above in the Dawn, Zhang Xiaoman was observing the battle below.

He had assigned a Star Guard to accompany each squad with the purpose of providing tactical support in case they encountered a strong Alien Species.

He also had given an order to the Star Guards: if they encountered an Alien Species, they were to alert him immediately, so he could observe their battle at any moment.

“Hey, this Lord Bear, it seems his strength has recovered nicely after the recent period of training.

His combat awareness might even be higher than during his peak period,”

Zhang Xiaoman watched Lord Bear creating havoc among the monsters, a smile spreading across his face.

It was no surprise to him that this fellow’s strength had improved so quickly.

In these days, apart from training others, Lord Bear had not stopped his own training either.

In terms of training, Lord Bear could be said to be the most diligent in the entire Star Alliance.

With such training, coupled with some technique discussions with Jannan, it was within reason that he had such strength now.

Now, Lord Bear alone was making the group of spiders tumble, while the Star Knight summoned by the Purple Skill could only play the supporting role of a green leaf on the side.

“Such terrifying strength!”

Inside the shield, the members of the Ninth Squad, watching a spider get kicked into the air and smack against the invisible wall, all wore expressions of mouths wide open.

Then, they suddenly reacted, raising their guns and aiming at the unlucky spider, firing in unison.

Although the invisible wall could stop the monsters from coming in, the bullets fired from the inside were not obstructed.

“Hiss hiss hiss…”

The spider let out a series of agonized screams, riddled with bullets, and breathed no more.

At this moment, Lord Bear seemed to share their sentiment, no longer wasting effort.

He kicked each of the spiders over, slamming them against the wall, allowing the Ninth Squad to finish them off.

Using the long spear, if the vital points weren’t hit, these creatures wouldn’t die immediately and might even launch a counterattack.

But kicking them was much easier.

The spiders had only two modes of attack: shooting webs and pouncing.

Both methods involved a preparatory action before the attack.

Although to the average person, these preparatory moves were extremely fast and hard to notice,

To Lord Bear, who had been enhanced with Constitution Enhancement, they weren’t so swift, easily avoiding their attacks.

Once an attack missed, the cumbersome spiders would become rigid, and if he charged at them during this time, a single kick would send them flying.

Watching the dwindling number of spiders on the field, Chang Hai felt as if waves of astonishment were surging in his heart.

Although he had already guessed that the strength of these people would be formidable, he hadn’t expected it to be to this extent.

The spider horde that had nearly driven him and his teammates to a dead end just moments ago was now nearly wiped out within a mere two to three minutes.

Only the last two spiders remained, and unlike the Calamity Species monsters that knew no fear, these two were now turning around, trying to flee in terror.

“They’re coming this way!”

Chang Hai, seeing the two spiders sprinting towards him, was very nervous, his hands gripping the gun even tighter.

Brother Hero was already prepared, lowering his left hand which had been maintaining the Shield and then raising his right hand, from which a red glow was emanating.

“Is that Flames?”

Chang Hai, seeing this, felt a surge of confusion, and at the same time, he subconsciously lowered his gun.

He knew that the Transcendent by his side was about to make a move.

In the next moment, Brother Hero made a pushing motion.

The ball of red light in his hand immediately shot out, and in mid-air, it dramatically increased in size countless times over, turning into a massive Fireball that mercilessly slammed into the two spiders.

“Boom!”

A loud explosion sounded, causing one’s ears to ache.

A wave of heat hit him in the face, giving Chang Hai the feeling of standing in front of a giant furnace.

Even the air he breathed into his lungs was filled with a burning sensation.

Fireball Technique!

This was an Ability developed by Zhang Xiaoman, with a similar cost to the Violent Spirit Technique, but its effect was vastly different.

The Violent Spirit Technique was designed for precision strikes, with long range, fast shooting speed, and strong Penetration.

But it had its drawbacks, as the attack was too concentrated, particularly against large monsters where if it couldn’t hit their weak points, the effect would be significantly reduced.

However, the Fireball Technique was different.

Although its range wasn’t long, and its speed wasn’t fast, nor did it have the Penetration of the Violent Spirit Technique,

its Destructive Power was especially large, and it was a type of area-of-effect (AOE) damage, perfect for taking out clusters of smaller monsters – one shot could eliminate a large swath of them.

Even when facing certain large monsters, the Fireball Technique could still cause extensive surface damage to their bodies, showcasing tremendous power.

At this moment, the two spiders, running close together, were perfectly smacked in the face by Brother Hero’s Fireball, and they were dead on the spot.

Unable to endure the heat wave, Chang Hai used one arm to shield himself, and only after the blaze dissipated did he peek out to check the situation.

“Hiss…

such terrifying Destructive Power.”

When he saw the two spiders that had turned into blackened heaps, he couldn’t help but take a breath, yet he couldn’t stop coughing.

It couldn’t be helped, the air was still so hot, feeling like fire when inhaled into the lungs.

Brother Hero had already enhanced his Constitution before arriving, and although he felt a bit warm, he wasn’t uncomfortable and looked completely at ease and content.

Now, the crisis on the field was completely resolved, with all the dozen or so spiders eliminated.

The members of Ninth Squad also ran over at this time, and the two groups regrouped together.

Zhang Xiaoman, looking at this scene, felt quite heartened.

Finally, after such a long period of training, his subordinates were now capable of standing on their own.

Even Brother Hero was able to single-handedly kill these two spiders.

He didn’t control the Star Guard to absorb the bodies of the monsters, instead leaving the opportunity to them.

Although Star Guard did kill two or three monsters, Xiaoman had come this time mainly to train and enhance the team members, with Star Guard serving merely as support.

Of course, there was another reason for doing this: to allow them to develop endurance by absorbing the creatures, and become more familiar with this kind of spiritual agony.

That way, they wouldn’t be caught completely unprepared when encountering similar situations in the future.

As for the allocation of the points after absorption, Xiaoman would naturally plan it himself according to the recordings after this event was over.
