BXBX NOVEL Chapter 172: Running Away
Meanwhile, Sasha focused on scratching the enemies. Her power activated and started corroding both the alien and the symbiote, causing their veins to bulge weirdly. Some of them even burst within the aliens\' bodies.
This curse allowed her to defeat her enemies in rapid succession. If she couldn\'t hit them, she simply moved on. After all, a swarm of aliens would soon overrun them and block their path.
That was Nathan\'s tactic. He summoned smaller bullets and shot the aliens. Not a single bullet was strong enough to pierce through the aliens\' skin, but that was enough to distract the aliens for a second.
Once they were outrun, they couldn\'t easily catch up. They simply had to repeat this until they broke through the enemy\'s rank.
David looked powerless because he really couldn\'t help any of them with his meager strength. Risa and Selena simply observed the entire situation and acted once one or two aliens slipped past those four.
In addition, there was a growing concern on their back.
"!!!" Nathan noticed the increasing number of aliens chasing from behind. He thought, \'Not good. Our speed is not fast enough. They\'re going to catch up. The aliens from the side that have been outrun by us are also circling…\'
He thought they could escape through their efforts alone, but it seemed he had to involve others as well. "Risa! Stop those aliens on our back! Yin Zhen doesn\'t have enough speed to break through, so help him, Selena!"
Both of them acknowledged his order.
Selena sped up and waved her staff, sweeping all aliens on Yin Zhen\'s left. Yin Zhen couldn\'t help but smile as if trying to say this was his summoner, a girl with powerful strength, unlike Nathan.
Selena\'s help allowed Yin Zhen to focus on the other side, resulting in the group\'s speed increasing.
Not a lot of aliens died from their attacks because instead of focusing on killing them, they concentrated their attack on a bursting power that swept everything to the side.
Even so, their efforts allowed them to finally see the end of the enemies. Just a bit more, they could break through.
Meanwhile, Risa summoned another fifteen blood spears. She fired them at the same time, piercing all the aliens in the front.
As a result, those aliens fell to the ground, either dead or injured. However, that wasn\'t her aim.
Once the aliens fell down, the aliens behind them couldn\'t react properly. Some managed to avoid their bodies, but there were a lot of aliens that ended up tripping over them.
Those aliens rolled or slid on the ground, which ended up becoming another obstacle to the aliens on their back, creating a wave of obstacles.
When Nathan saw this, he couldn\'t help but wonder why he hadn\'t thought about this yet.
\'That\'s right. We can just create an obstacle like them. Shit. My memories from Earth have messed me up. This is not a freaking game where the enemies can go through obstacles due to weird graphics or computation.\'
Nathan bit his lips before shouting, "Fenrir, Sasha. Hit their feet or the trees!"
"!!!" Both of them immediately followed his instructions. Sasha struck the tree next to her and let it fall, crushing several aliens. Other aliens also had a hard time leaping on top of them. Some even looped around.
Seeing how effective the method was, Sasha immediately struck the second and third trees in rapid succession, creating a wall that blocked the enemies. They were lucky they were inside the forest since it wouldn\'t be possible on a plain.
Fenrir waved his tail, sending forth a crescent-shaped strike that hit either the trees or the aliens\' lower bodies.
It didn\'t have to be strong as long as it served its purpose.
Trees and aliens started falling down, creating a chain of reaction from the rest of the aliens.
Risa couldn\'t help but smile, as this was her original plan. She immediately sent forth multiple blood tornadoes to destroy a part of the trunk and snapped the trees in the aliens\' direction.
In addition, Selena and Yin Zhen kept opening the path.
"Amazing." David sucked a cold breath. \'The guy is rational, calm, and smart enough to command the entire battle. The girl might not talk a lot, but her strength is undeniable. Because of them and their familiars…\'
David smiled, looking at the front. With another blast from Yin Zhen, the space finally opened up. They had finally broken through the enemy\'s encirclement without losing a single person.
It was impossible for the knights to do it because they couldn\'t cut the trees easily, but this was enough.
David shouted, "Go that way! The sound is not far away. We can reach it within a minute or two!"
All of them nodded their heads, except for Nathan. Even though they were able to escape, there were things that bothered Nathan.
\'The mutant from earlier has disappeared again. Where does it go? And where are the rest of the juvenile class aliens? There\'s no way there isn\'t a single juvenile class among hundreds of aliens. This feels ominous.\' Nathan\'s expression turned grim.
By the time they reached the mutant class alien, it was time for Nathan to pay for the price of the mistake he unknowingly had made.
The juvenile class mutant had reached the cave east of the military camp. There was still some fresh blood from the two patrol soldiers.
The mutant opened its mouth, releasing the screeching sound of an alien.
As if responding to its call, aliens started emerging from the cave, a few at a time. There were hundreds of them, if not thousands. They split into two groups. The first group headed west, specifically the military camp. The rest of the aliens went to the south, where Nathan\'s group was located.
