The words of the man at the peak of the sixth level finally brought the topic back.
The few experts at the seventh level present also realized the seriousness of the problem and began to rally their teams.
Assassins who were already fighting for themselves and accustomed to fighting alone found it no less difficult to unite than to challenge an eighth-level expert in a one-on-one fight.
But with comparison, it was different.
The few seventh-level experts were well aware of this, so they didn't directly discuss forming a large team of dozens of people, but instead began to recruit willing teammates.
Among them, a seventh-level expert nicknamed "Wolverine" was the most popular.
As soon as he spoke, more than ten assassins expressed their willingness to join.
"Then the strength of my team will be temporarily set at fifteen people."
Wolverine chuckled and ended the recruitment first.
Being at the same seventh-level realm, they naturally would not be willing to be someone else's subordinate.
In situations like this, there would usually be a martial arts competition, but there was no time for that now. Wolverine understood this very well, so after recruiting experts at the sixth level, he proactively stepped aside.
Seeing that the teams were truly forming, some assassins who were still hesitant could not help but make their decisions.
"I want to follow the Sin Angel."
"I want to follow the Blood Demon."
The remaining thirty-odd assassins shouted out their wishes.
Of course, there were also those who remained silent, wanting to just tag along with a team. Thus, by the end, the five seventh-level experts present basically had six-person teams, which was considered standard for temporary field teams.
And the Wolverine team naturally became the largest team in terms of numbers.
The latter stepped forward at the opportune moment and said, "We have the most people, so we will be the temporary leader. What do you all think?"
It did pay off to speak up early. The few seventh-level experts who were still hesitating at that moment felt a pang of regret.
They believed their strength was not much different from Wolverine's, but the latter had a slightly greater reputation internationally, and he was also the first to speak.
If they had another chance, they were confident they could have been the temporary leader.
However, for now, it could only be this way.
No one spoke up to refute Wolverine's words.
"Don't worry, I understand the rules. All missions to be executed will be discussed with you first. Only after reaching a consensus, or when the majority agrees, will they be executed."
Wolverine said calmly, and his words made everyone secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
In such situations, the worst thing was to be used as cannon fodder.
Seeing that no one objected, Wolverine then said sternly, "Since we've decided, let me make this clear: if anyone falters, they will put all of us in danger. Don't blame me for being ruthless then!"
Having both gentleness and firmness, this was true leadership.
As the saying goes, when an expert makes a move, you know if they're competent. With Wolverine's brief words, everyone's thoughts temporarily unified.
Then, he began to issue the first mission.
Counterattack!
Of course, it was not to directly confront the mysterious people surrounding them, but to find an opportunity to break through in one direction. If they could successfully break through, that would be best. Even if they couldn't, they should at least capture a few for interrogation.
Understanding one's own situation was always the first priority; the unknown was the greatest enemy.
The other seventh-level experts had no objections to this, but they tacitly avoided discussing the breakthrough in detail.
Not to mention the reward that would tempt even an eighth-level expert, just the God Thunder Source mentioned later on the black market was something no one could resist.
Fortune favors the bold; they understood this principle.
Thus, under Wolverine's command, everyone began to move in the same direction.
On the other side, the owner of the black net, who was still leading the core troops steadily forward, did not expect the assassins to unite in such a short period.
At this moment, he was still arranging search missions.
"Although Thunder Magnetic Island is large, there are only a few locations where ships can dock. Leave the elite troops to guard them, and the rest are to spread out and drive them away."
"If you see the mission target, directly fire a signal flare. If you encounter a strong enemy, don't be stingy with weapons; flashbangs should also be fired immediately."
"Report your position every thirty seconds. Failure to report on time will be at your own risk!"
Order after order was systematically issued through a special circular device in his hand.
If Li Chonglou or the old village chief's people saw this scene, they would immediately recognize that the principle of the special device used was the principle of a transmission stone.
Reporting their situation every thirty seconds was also to prevent the enemy from launching a surprise attack. Every aspect was fully prepared.
What everyone did not know was that this time, not only the assassins who landed on the island but also all the core members of the black net had come out in full force and were all gathered here!
From a bird's-eye view, a black encirclement could be seen, gradually moving towards the center of the island, which was the entrance to the forbidden area.
There were no less than a thousand people!
Led by Wolverine, the group encountered the core members of the black net who formed the encirclement in just a few minutes.
More than a dozen men in black stood scattered, each holding a peculiar weapon that Li Chonglou seemed to recognize.
Upon seeing the weapon, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tighten, and even their breathing slowed down.
Clearly, they had suffered quite a bit in their hands.
"There are only fifteen people, but the other directions are only tens of meters apart. We only have ten seconds."
Wolverine said in a deep voice, and another seventh-level assassin chimed in.
"How many should we leave alive?"
Wolverine pondered for a moment, "Just in case, let's leave half. We'll retreat after the fight."
The encirclement was not just one layer but three layers in total, with more people on the outer layers.
They had all witnessed this peculiar weapon, which fired a large net several meters wide. The special properties of Thunder Magnetic Island meant that apart from some secret techniques that enhanced speed,
the speed of others was no different from ordinary people outside. Once they forced their way through, it would only lead to total annihilation.
Everyone quickly reached a consensus.
Kill half and leave half alive for interrogation!
They acted as soon as they decided. The next second, more than forty people from the five teams simultaneously activated their secret speed-enhancing techniques.
At this moment, the heavenly lightning above was already brewing.
Because of the spiritual explosion phase, everyone, including the core members of the black net in the encirclement, dared not get too close.
Within fifty meters, the dozen or so people were almost their limit. m..oΓg
Wolverine and the others, except for the five seventh-level experts who were slightly closer, were also scattered, with at least two meters between each person.
As they attacked simultaneously, the surrounding spiritual energy reached an unprecedented concentration. The white lights in the sky flashed continuously, like a sharp knife hanging over everyone's hearts.
It was only then that Wolverine and the others realized they had overlooked this crucial point!
But the arrow was already on the string and had to be shot.
