Chapter 475: Too Lazy to Explain
The members of the three squads were already prepared to die.
But unexpectedly, someone came to rescue them at the last moment.
What shocked them even more was that this person was the recent double champion of the Global Monster Battle Championship, who had stirred up quite a commotion.
"Ling Zhan! I don't know how you managed to get past that damned Bando Ansei, but I advise you to leave quickly!"
"Head to the fortress and report to the superiors, inform them that the Twelfth Squad of the Ghost-Slaying Corps from Fusang Country has completely defected!"
"They not only consumed the inferior demon blood from the Demon Arrival Organization but also absorbed the ghost energy from Takamagahara's forbidden area..."
Forrest, captain of the Twelfth Squad of the Rhine Duchy, urgently spoke.
The members of the Tenth Squad of the Holy Light Empire and the Fourteenth Squad of the Dark Night Empire remained silent.
They were in very poor condition.
Even though Ling Zhan helped them break free, their battle suits had been completely destroyed by Bando Ansei.
Even their armor and equipment were ruined!
This meant that if they tried to rush out of this cave protected by a special spirit array, they would be swallowed by the relentless storm.
Don't underestimate the raging winds of the Storm Strait!
If an unarmored squishy class without any battle suits were caught, even a third-tier powerhouse would be blown around like a ragdoll.
Moreover...
Not every class has flight capabilities.
Even third-tier powerhouses, if their class lacks flight skills, can't fly; at best, they can hover briefly.
But hovering ability was clearly useless in this stormy strait.
Huh!?
Wait a minute!
Something's wrong!
How did Ling Zhan get in here?
They remembered that Bando Ansei, to prevent anyone from rescuing them, had a spirit array master in the team set up a self-destruct array!
If any outsider dared to touch this array, it would automatically detonate.
The explosion's power would rival a full-strength attack from an 80-level third-tier powerhouse.
Yet this non-specialist just walked right in?
Everyone widened their eyes, staring at Ling Zhan.
In response.
Ling Zhan casually replied, "Don't worry about that traitor squad and the cave's spirit array."
"Wh...why?"
The captain of the Rhine squad asked with difficulty.
"Because both the traitor squad and the cave's spirit array have been dealt with."
Ling Zhan's tone remained calm.
He said this as casually as if he were saying, "I killed a chicken."
This...
The three squads' members were stunned by his words.
De...dealt with?
"Did the Dragon Kingdom's ninth squad also arrive?" Forrest suddenly asked.
"Hmm, sort of." Ling Zhan nodded.
"Phew!"
Everyone visibly sighed in relief!
Oh!
So that's it!
They almost thought this freshman handled the entire traitor squad on his own!
Turns out the ninth squad was here too!
The fourth-year members of the three squads had high confidence in the Dragon Kingdom's ninth squad.
Especially Deputy Zhou Xue'er.
As a third-tier Netherworld Celestial Monarch, she always led her team to safety and could divine the correct choices and paths.
Of course...
Her combat strength wasn't weak either.
As a third-tier spell master, her skills in talismans not only dealt significant damage but also provided strong support and healing.
Overall...
It's a versatile class that can both heal and fight, a true jack-of-all-trades.
"Phew!"
"Thank you, thank you!"
"Thanks to the Dragon Kingdom's ninth squad..."
"Otherwise, we thought we were really done for this time!"
The captains of the three squads expressed their gratitude.
In response.
Ling Zhan was too lazy to correct them.
He simply nodded, reached out to lightly touch the special ropes binding everyone, and the ropes shattered instantly.
This scene.
Once again left everyone secretly stunned.
What kind of ability is this?
These ropes, capable of completely restraining third-tier powerhouses, were made from some special material.
Not even bombs could break them, and even A-grade skills used by third-tier powerhouses couldn't destroy them.
They could only be unlocked by certain specific means.
Yet.
This non-specialist disintegrated them with a mere touch!
This...
"Captain, don't be surprised; this guy seems to have some special ability that breaks equipment…"
"In the Global Monster Battle Championship, even our empire's two princesses fell victim to this guy…"
A third-year student from the Holy Light Empire team whispered to his captain.
Huh!?
The captain's eyes widened upon hearing that!
Damn!
This...
A special ability that specifically breaks equipment!?
"Can it break any equipment?"
The captain hesitated and asked.
"Yes, so far I haven't seen any equipment he can't break!"
"Even high-grade spirit artifacts can be broken at his whim!"
The third-year student nodded confidently.
Captain: "..."
Damn!
Such a broken ability?!
Before long.
Ling Zhan had easily freed all 900 members of the squads.
Outside the cave, Zhou Xue'er and her two deputies finally arrived.
As they entered the cave and saw the three rescued squads, Zhou Xue'er, with a hesitant expression, was about to speak.
Only to be met with the heartfelt thanks of the three squad captains.
"Deputy Zhou, no words can express our gratitude. The Twelfth Squad of the Rhine Duchy owes the Dragon Kingdom's ninth squad a huge favor for this rescue!"
"Yes! Without your country's team, we would have been sacrificed by those animals!"
"If you ever need our help, just let us know, and I will lend my hand!"
Seeing the three captains expressing their thanks.
Zhou Xue'er was stunned.
So were her two deputies.
Leading a rescue?
Not at all!
She hadn't planned on rescuing them!
She was going to retreat, but when she heard that Ling Zhan had rushed into the depths of the Storm Strait without a word and couldn't be contacted, she came to check!
"This... hehe!"
In response.
Zhou Xue'er could only muster an awkward smile.
Glancing at Ling Zhan, who was assigned as captain by the higher-ups, he stood calmly at the side, showing no intention to explain.
"Alright, I've had enough of this damned place. Let's leave quickly."
"Do you have any spare battle suits? Please lend them to us; we'll make sure to craft new ones and return them later!"
At this time.
Forrest also showed a warm smile.
