807 The Great Cleanup Outside Jiangzhou City! Man-Armed Spider? (2)

In fact, Liu Gang was still too optimistic.

After night fell, the mutated beasts, who were still very afraid of the “100,000-strong army” during the day, no longer had the concept of fear at night.

Moreover, with so many people in the wilderness, be it the commotion or the smell of “flesh and blood”, it could greatly stimulate the mutated beasts that were already even more bloodthirsty and restless at night.

Such a large group of people was like prey covered in wounds that had fallen into a river filled with piranhas.

Even if there were searchlights around the camp that were as bright as day, they could not stop those crazy mutated beasts.

However, these violent mutated beasts could not cause any damage to the tens of thousands of beasts.

After a night, other than leaving corpses all over the ground outside the camp, there was no damage to the army.

Then, the main force began to clean up the area within a radius of ten kilometers.

However, this time, the process was not so smooth.

After all, the further out they went, the more mutated beasts there would be, and the higher their levels would be.

Moreover, there were many places around Jiangzhou City that even mercenaries would not go to. This led to the proliferation of mutated beasts in these places.

Just like the group of tough opponents they were encountering now.

They were the Butchers of the Desert in the west of Jiangzhou City.

These Butchers of the Desert were not the “Renekton” in League of Legends, but hordes of lizardmen wrapped in a layer of sand.

The individual combat power of these Desert Butchers was very ordinary. If the Ironback Pigs were given enough distance, even the Ironback Pigs might not be able to defeat them one-on-one.

However, these guys could also create quicksand, just like the strategy they used to change the terrain when resisting those high-level mutated beasts in Jiangzhou City.

Moreover, the quantity was huge, directly creating a quicksand desert that was one to two kilometers wide and a few kilometers long.

What was ridiculous was that this large sand desert could still be moved!

Originally, Liu Gang and the others wanted to go around them, but these Desert Butchers stuck to them instead.

Moreover, they stretched the desert especially thin and long, wanting to use quicksand to split the army’s formation.

Needless to say, thousands of people had been separated from the Butchers of the Desert.

Moreover, before the army could react, earth-yellow scorpions appeared from under the quicksand desert.

Because of the color, no one could tell without looking carefully.

The bodies of these scorpions were about the size of an adult man’s feet, but their tails were exceptionally long and slender. At a rough glance, they were about a meter long.

The dim hook at the end of the tail looked horrifying.

After these scorpions emerged from the ground, they swung their tails and began to attack the nearby army and beasts without saying a word.

In such a sudden situation, some soldiers could not help but be stung by the scorpions.

Soon, their entire body would swell up and they would lose their combat strength.

The legions were not bold enough to equip every soldier with a full body of protective shields.

Therefore, it was very difficult to deal with this wave.

With the size of these scorpions, the numerical advantage was not an advantage, but a disadvantage.

Because there were too many people and these scorpions were moving around the feet of the crowd, they attacked the ankles and calves. Therefore, be it the soldiers or beasts, they could only use the most primitive method—stamp!

However, because the sand below was constantly flowing, it was very difficult to attack these agile and small scorpions.

This made the people surrounded quite passive.

“General, the 3rd Legion is in bad shape.”

“There are already hundreds of injured people!”

As Liu Gang listened to his subordinate’s report, his expression turned slightly ugly.

“Has the General Staff found a way to deal with these things?”

“We’re still discussing it. Our initial plan is to use the Ironback Pig and large flying-type beasts to evacuate the people and leave some beasts as bait. Then, we’ll use a large-scale attack to cover that area.”

Hearing this method, Liu Gang’s brows did not relax at all.

It was mainly because this method was too stupid.

“Transfer the mechanical beasts over!”

The subordinate hesitated for a moment, but he immediately nodded and agreed. Then, he went to give the order.

The Jiangzhou City Army had a mechanical beast army of more than 500.

However, this unit had always existed as Liu Gang’s personal guard.

After all, these mechanical beasts were much more reliable than humans no matter how one looked at them.

They were not afraid of death and were firm.

They were simply the perfect candidates for being a “human wall”.

These mechanical beasts could also perfectly restrain the scorpions that emerged from the ground.

“Are these mechanical beasts?”

When the mechanical beasts rushed into the quicksand area and began to escort the soldiers out, Chen Wen and Shang Min, who were also observing the battle, watched with shining eyes.

Su Hongcheng returned to the city at night.

Although Su Hongcheng was no longer around to explain, their identities were still valued by the army, so there was no shortage of people around to explain.

“Yes, these beasts are in charge of protecting General Liu’s safety.”

Looking at the mechanical beasts that were about to pierce their tails bald, Shang Min was tempted again.

These mechanical beasts seemed… seemed to be more professional than the Bear Men he had seen in Jiangzhou City?!

Moreover, it seemed like he didn’t have to worry about anything, let alone pay his salary.

If Dojo Master Lin could build a mechanical Beast Taming Dojo for the Central Province City’s Public Security Department, wouldn’t all the sheriffs be eliminated in the future?!

Hiss…

Then wouldn’t he lose his job?

Shang Min, who had been very tempted just now, suddenly thought of this serious problem.

However, thinking about it carefully, there shouldn’t be such a problem.

Where it was safe, the human sheriff would go. Where it was dangerous, the mechanical beasts would go. Wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?

Of course, when the time came, there would definitely be redundancy in the Public Security Department.

Then he’ll just optimize it~

In any case, they were mostly useless people. Shang Min, the Chief of the Public Security Bureau, still had the authority.

Thinking of this, Shang Min immediately felt better. At the same time, he placed the highest priority on the Mechanical Beast Taming Dojo.

The moment he saw Dojo Master Lin, he was prepared to… beg this mighty figure to come to build such a dojo in Central Province.

While Shang Min was thinking about the future, the mechanical beasts successfully controlled the situation.

Although those Desert Butchers knew how to use tactics, they were only mutated beasts with a little brain.

Looking at the mechanical beasts that had yet to leave the encirclement, they still felt that their method was effective. Therefore, they kept swimming in the quicksand and wanted to capture these mechanical beasts and the other beasts that had been left inside as bait so that they could have a good meal.

Unfortunately, when they surrounded them, what greeted them were iron fists that were bigger than sandbags and various skills that spat fire and generated hail.

In just three to five minutes, these Desert Butchers were forced back.

Of course, because these things ran very fast in the desert, there was not much that was killed.

After some rest, the army continued westward.

They had only cleared less than a quarter of the “Second Loop” in this ten-kilometer area.

Just as everyone in the army was ready to set off, a messenger in charge of communications in front of the army received a message from the scout in the air ahead.

“There’s a high-tier mutated beast ahead!”

“It looks like a spider, but… but its legs are all human arms…”

Hearing the messenger’s description, someone on the side immediately said the mutated beast’s name—

“A Man-Armed Spider?!”

“How many are there?”

“Just one.”

Hearing that there was only one spider, the officer who knew the situation of some of the Man-Armed Spiders let out a sigh of relief.

But then he thought of a very bad possibility…

“Can we take a look at the Man-Armed Spider’s head?”

“Sure, but you’ll have to wait for a while.”
