礁石 staggered backward, blood already seeping through the gaps in his gnashing teeth. With each step he took, the ground beneath his feet seemed to explode, sending up plumes of yellow sand and shattered stone. His dark gold shield was now ablaze with fierce flames, bearing distinct dents and even clear cracks!

This was the price 礁石 paid for single-handedly blocking the full-force attack of eight people!!

The enemy's ambush wasn't particularly sophisticated, but their judgment was ruthless. First, a woman targeted one of the Orc laborers Fang Senyan and his team were escorting, knowing their mission would fail if those fragile creatures died.

Furthermore, she deliberately paused before firing, with a simple yet effective purpose. Her attack struck at their most vulnerable point, a position they would inevitably defend. She knew the team's MT (main tank) would rush to save the Orc laborer.

礁石 did exactly that, instantly shielding the oblivious Orc laborer with his shield. But the bullet fired by the woman detonated before reaching 礁石, forming an all-encompassing sticky web that bound him in place!

This was the first link in their plan. MTs weren't known for their agility, and being restrained meant they were unlikely to dodge.

Thus, the second link in the team's plan emerged!

The four strongest attackers from their team, along with five powerful individuals borrowed from three other teams, focused their fire on 礁石!! Some wielded bloody weapons, significantly reducing healing effectiveness. Together, they aimed to break through the enemy's strongest point, even instantly killing their MT. This would severely damage the enemy's morale, turning the battle into a one-sided chase!

The person who devised this plan was no fool. The plan was meticulously crafted, with each element interlocking seamlessly. It cleverly analyzed psychological weaknesses. In their view, the plan was foolproof and guaranteed to succeed.

They had even eliminated a team before using this plan, reaping great rewards.

But... but!!

Plans couldn't keep up with changes. The combined attack of nine powerhouses failed to kill the MT wielding the dark gold shield!! Even more disturbingly, he didn't even show signs of being near death or using potions!!!

"This...!!" The ambushers were momentarily thrown into confusion as their plan fell apart. They didn't realize they were facing an incredibly abnormal double-MT team. When Fang Senyan realized they were trying to brutally kill 礁石, he coldly used the survival awakening skill: Survival Mark's protection! Coupled with 礁石's own Divine Grace Aura, which could suddenly increase his health by 1500 points!

"Naive... Getting lucky once and killing a lousy MT doesn't mean you can use the same trick forever, does it? You even dared to try and kill our 礁石?"

礁石 was already an MT with extremely high defense. Plus, Fang Senyan silently used the survival awakening skill to share the damage, so in the eyes of others, he had terrifyingly endured a combined attack from nine people and only taken a few steps back without serious harm.

Even more terrifying, 礁石 immediately counterattacked. His entire body was concealed behind the dark gold shield, but he extended his right hand! The nightmare imprint on his chest shone brightly, manifesting a beautiful crusader tower shield.

While the others were still puzzled, a clear illusion suddenly emerged around 礁石's right hand. The illusion was of a broad, giant hand wearing paladin gold armor, which clenched in the air. Immediately, a contractor who had attacked 礁石 first let out a miserable scream. They were hidden in a concealed place, with layers of obstacles between them and 礁石, but were strangely sent flying in a parabolic arc, flailing in the air as they were grabbed!!!

Holy Grasp!!

礁石's Holy Grasp instantly pulled the enemy out of cover, exposing them to his team's firepower. In the enemy's mind, 礁石, who should have died, not only survived but also made a very fierce counterattack at the most critical time!!

The one pulled over was a magic-type contractor who used Flame Hand. He had dealt the most damage to 礁石, so who else would he pull? This guy's reaction wasn't slow either. Several rays of light flashed across his body, including a fiery red flame shield, an earthy yellow defense boost, a blue healing light, and even a prism-like sharp light...

However, Fang Senyan and Sanzai hadn't even acted yet. Zi and Ronnie combined their attacks, and this magic-type contractor was directly brought to the brink of death. Before his team skills could be activated, he was crushed to death by the continuous damage from Holy Grasp, turning into a sky-full of blood-red mist!!

Magic-type contractors were originally known for high attack and low defense. It would only take Ronnie two or three slashes to kill him, plus 礁石's Holy Grasp had considerable damage -- the holy afterglow produced after the Hand of God shattered would inflict 100 caster stamina x2 points of holy damage to the enemy, and cause a total of 300 points of holy damage in the following five seconds -- equivalent to the combined attack of Zi, Ronnie, and Sanzai! How could he have survived?

Not only did they fail to kill, but they were even counter-killed. How could such a thing not shock and anger the ambushers? But at this time, Fang Senyan had already thrown out several bottles of cursed potions, and a dense, light green fog enveloped the battlefield of several hundred square meters. Aldaris took advantage of the situation and unleashed a Mind Storm on the place where the enemies were gathered. The incandescent white web covered the ground, and the dry grass on the ground rolled up a scorched breath, and the crackling sound of electric current was endless.

Suddenly, exclamations and curses rang out, and six or seven shadows scattered wildly like startled wild rabbits. Fang Senyan narrowed his eyes, he was really itchy at this time, if he shot with all his strength at this time, then he might even be able to wipe out the enemy.

However, he suddenly glanced behind him. On the withered grassland in the twilight, there seemed to be nothing unusual, but Fang Senyan had long noticed that there was a small group of air with strange fluctuations, like the slight distortion of the scenery when a car exhausts.

Therefore, Fang Senyan suppressed his impulse to attack, and suddenly moved sideways, blocking Zi in front of him, looking like a completely regular vice MT, working hard to absorb damage for the team members. At the same time, Ronnie's ghostly figure flickered again and again, and blood spattered out of the void, but he relentlessly chased after him.

The enemy's numbers had the advantage, and they sniped them fiercely, but for Ronnie at this time, he had received extra strengthening from potions and team abilities, and his ability to withstand attacks could even catch up with the berserkers who dared to charge in the front line. Therefore, after taking several attacks, the dark red blood-colored short knife in his hand suddenly flew out, and after circling in the void in front of him, a blood-covered figure fell out of the air with his hands covering his throat, his eyes almost bulging out of their sockets, and it was obvious that he could not live!

The group of ambushers continued to fight with Fang Senyan and the others for less than five minutes, and the more they fought, the more chilling they felt. Seeing that under the care of the MT and vice MT of the other side, the attacks that would surely kill them were cleverly resolved, and none of them died. And in order to pursue powerful attack power, they did not bring MT here, but the people have fallen one after another! As many as four people have died so far! If they continue to fight, they may be wiped out.

"They're going to run away." Ronnie was the first to notice this sign. "The boss can launch the disease, and this world looks very strange. Although it is not mentioned, it seems that there is no way to start the emergency return props, we want to bleed them!"

Fang Senyan said calmly:

"No, you just need to step up your offensive. This is just the beginning. There are more eyes staring at us on this damn battlefield than the baboon's turds. It's really too early to expose the strength of the team now."

Everyone had long been used to obeying Fang Senyan's decision. Zi, Ronnie, and Aldaris shot even more fiercely at this time, without restraint! In the process of the enemy's retreat, it was clear that after two people were dying, they triggered the most common and useful "random teleportation" team skill, and were randomly teleported to a point within one kilometer, but they were still killed alive by the subsequent continuous damage!

After this battle, after a little statistics, they killed two of the other side's awakeners, four colonists, 礁石 and they all still have a feeling of unfulfilled meaning, as if they had just finished their warm-up exercise. But the harvest is still good, and a bloody equipment came out. It is a cloak on the back, which can absorb 15 damage from the contractee and reduce the chance of being criticaled by 5.

Fang Senyan did not pay attention to the harvest of the equipment, but asked Zi:

"I didn't see anyone using the plot props to leave the battlefield just now. Is it impossible to return directly here?"

Zi closed her eyes and sensed it:

"Yes, the time-space vortex here is very strong, it is almost as chaotic as hemp, it is almost difficult to locate the space, it is not impossible to return directly, but the failure rate of using props is terribly high!"
