With the commands from Kameron and Injisen issued, the movements of Bloodthirsty Fang completely changed. The main force abandoned the students, who were almost defenseless, and surrounded the direction of the forest.
The remaining spaceship troops surrounded the Green-Skinned Teacher and others. Although their numbers were few, their firepower was exceptionally strong, employing a delaying tactic to trap this group of teachers here. When it came to rescuing the forest, the teachers felt powerless despite their intentions.
It seemed that Bloodfang had already devised a strategy; by holding back Lin's high-end combat power, they would take control of this war.
……
Over there, Lin's speed was rapid, faster than during the earlier competition. He led the main force into the forest.
As Lin's figure disappeared into the shade of the trees, he became completely invisible, even radar could not detect his presence.
The trees here were tall and lush, each one towering towards the sky. In such an environment, not only could spaceships not enter, but even people found it difficult to move.
However, Lin Ta and his team were different. After more than a month of training, they had become familiar with this place as if it were their own backyard. He moved through the thick branches like a monkey.
After advancing for about five hundred meters, Lin activated his communicator and switched to group communication mode, sending a message to Fatty and the others: "The fish has taken the bait."
"Ding ding!"
Soon, messages from his classmates flooded in: "In position," "Ready," "Net closing," various signals rolling in, giving off a sense of espionage.
After reading them, Lin Xin let out a sigh of relief; it seemed everyone had been preparing for a long time. He turned back to see those spaceships hovering down, including the largest one, where people gathered like ants.
"It's hooked now; next, you all need to follow me for a counterattack!"
With a sinister smile on his lips, Lin narrowed his eyes and contacted Edible. In just a few dozen minutes, Edible had cultivated a large number of Battle Destroyer Bugs for him, sufficient to handle the current situation.
A swarm of black insects flew out from Lin's wrist, spreading across the area in no time at all, covering the edges of the entire forest.
This is the first frontline of the Lin Counterattack, the Destruction Bug Fortress!
The existence of the Destruction Bug relies on overwhelming numbers. In this situation, a direct assault would result in excessive losses of bugs, so Lin chose to employ ambush tactics to catch the enemy off guard.
After completing these preparations, Lin turned and left. With Edible serving as an information relay station, he could always stay updated on the battle situation from Edible, so he wasn't worried about the performance of the bugs at all.
"Fatty, give me your position. Everyone must execute the trio tactic!"
The trio tactic is part of their training; they had practiced it roughly for some time, which significantly increased their survival rate.
While counterattacks are important, the lives of his classmates are even more crucial.
Fatty responded quickly, immediately sending Lin his location. Upon receiving the information, Lin rushed towards Fatty's position, ready to set up an ambush.
When he spotted Fatty, he and Lü Liang were lying low on a branch, their bodies covered with large leaves, blending seamlessly into the tree. It was hard to notice anything unusual.
Thus, the three patiently waited for their prey to take the bait.
Ambush tactics require patience; they must be like snakes—still when not moving and striking to take the enemy's life when they do move. Even if no enemies passed by them, they had to remain hidden.
The classmates had already spread out in a dispersed formation. As long as the enemies entered their territory, someone would inevitably run into their line of fire, so there was no need to worry about the enemies not falling into their trap.
Sure enough, after waiting for about ten minutes, continuous screams from enemies echoed from ahead; that was thanks to the Destruction Bug.
Through information relayed by Edible, Lin Xin felt greatly pleased. The first batch of incoming enemies had been completely dealt with by the Destruction Bug; over a hundred enemies had been reduced to bones.
However, this situation did not last long. The enemies that were devoured were merely weaklings who posed no effective threat to the Destruction Bug.
The subsequent enemies were different; they were elites, all above level ten. Once the attack methods of the Destruction Bug were exposed, their attacking power would significantly decrease.
The Destruction Bug that had been scattered into several segments could no longer inflict damage. Lin immediately made a decision: all the bugs would gather together to deliver a final blow to the enemy before retreating.
After taking the lives of more than ten henchmen, the bugs had drawn significant attention from the opposing side, and a large number of firearms were directed at them. The results achieved were far from proportional to the sacrifices made.
With no other choice, Lin could only order the bugs to retreat.
At this stage, the Destruction Bug could only operate this way. After all, their numbers were limited, and their combat capability was still in its early stages. These bugs could only engage in ambushes and were unable to confront a large number of enemies head-on.
……
As the bugs retreated, the students' ambush officially began.
In the shade of the trees, the Bloodthirsty Fang’s Mercenaries moved cautiously. The pressure from the earlier bug encounter forced them to remain alert.
After traveling a considerable distance without encountering any enemies, they began to lower their guard slightly. Just then, figures suddenly emerged from behind the branches.
Two individuals quickly lunged forward, grabbing hold of a passing Mercenary. Using both hands and feet, they restrained two Mercenaries. Before these two could resist, another figure emerged and swung their hands.
The Cold Light Flash gleamed as it ruthlessly claimed the lives of the Mercenaries. They clutched their gasping throats, making choking sounds mixed with blood, their eyes filled with disbelief.
“Ugh, blood…”
This brutal scene caused one student to falter. Although he had mentally prepared himself, witnessing this still made his scalp tingle and his limbs weak.
“Useless! Do you want to expose us? Hurry up and go!”
One person beside him quickly grabbed his arm, while another student reacted and took hold of his other arm. The two hurriedly jumped onto a branch and vanished after a rustling sound.
However, the battle was not one-sided; the students were inexperienced warriors, and many fell at the hands of the Mercenaries.
Some highly skilled Mercenaries, while cautiously advancing, had already discovered the hiding places of certain groups. They pretended to be relaxed as they passed by, waiting for the students to reveal themselves.
Once the students appeared, those Mercenaries immediately swung their weapons to counterattack. Well-prepared, they easily took down these students.
Whether it was a Cold Light Flash or the sound of machine guns, the result was the same: blood splattered everywhere, and the lives of the students vanished under the enemy's weapons.
...
These scenes unfolded in various corners of the forest, with life-and-death battles where everyone fought for their lives.
The ambushing students did not gain much advantage; instead, it was those Mercenaries who, once they caught a whiff of blood, proved to be exceptionally shrewd. They were seasoned veterans who had crawled out from piles of corpses.
In this ambush battle, the students lost. After suffering heavy casualties, someone finally couldn't withstand the pressure and shouted over the communication channel, "Run! Everyone run! Our people are almost all dead!"
Those words shattered their morale.
As the saying goes, an army collapses like a mountain. The terrified students had long forgotten their youthful bravado and fled toward the direction of their base.
The battle seemed to grow increasingly perilous.
