Chapter 737: Expanding the Rescue Scope (Part 2)

The two Divine Demon Realm experts who had just been rescued were completely stunned.

They knew that Divine Demon Realm experts assigned to a rescue squad would be among the cream of the crop, possessing the ability to kill Fourth Level Mutated Zombies.

But under normal circumstances, even if the battle didn’t last for a hundred rounds, it should have at least taken dozens of exchanges.

But what did they just witness?

A beatdown! It was a completely one-sided slaughter. The Mutated Zombies couldn’t even fight back.

Especially at the end, when the two of them teamed up against the Fourth Level Late Stage “Giant Arm.” With just one punch and one slash, they decapitated it.

That was an instant kill!

In fact, from the moment Zuo Wenya and the others appeared to the moment they killed the three Mutated Zombies, no more than seven or eight seconds had passed.

It wasn’t until the two had killed the “Giant Arm” that the rescued Divine Demon Realm experts snapped back to reality, but by then, they had no idea what they were supposed to do.

After all, every Mutated Zombie on the field had been wiped out. Were they supposed to burrow into the ground and kill the “Blood Worm” below? That would be far too dangerous, and the command staff advised against it.

Just as they were thinking this, they saw the Divine Demon Realm expert who resembled a Flame Giant slam his fist into the ground.

RUMBLE!

The entire street trembled slightly. Where he had struck, a passage three meters wide and seven or eight meters deep appeared, connecting directly to the underground tunnels dug by the Abyssal Creatures.

Then they saw him retract his Divine Demon Body and leap right in.

The other Divine Demon Realm expert, as well as the third man who had been standing by without making a move, immediately followed him down.

They were clearly going after the “Blood Worm” underground.

“Truly, skill begets boldness,” the military’s Divine Demon Realm expert could only comment.

The other Divine Demon Realm expert, who was wearing an instructor’s uniform, hesitated before asking, “Shouldn’t we go after them?”

“I’d like to, but do you think you could keep up?”

“…”

The answer was obvious. In the few moments they had been talking, their Perception revealed that the trio had already plunged a kilometer underground and caught up to the “Blood Worm,” which had sensed the danger and was desperately trying to flee.

As it fled, it was frantically releasing Blood-colored Beetles to try and hold back its pursuers.

Unfortunately for it, these Blood-colored Beetles, which didn’t have high Defense Power, were completely countered by Zuo Wenya’s Blazing Superpower.

The three of them quickly cleared out the Blood-colored Beetles. After catching up to their target, Zuo Wenya threw a punch and Chen Yushi drew his sword. Even though they hadn’t activated their Divine Demon Bodies due to the narrow passage, a “Blood Worm” was nothing at close range. It was swiftly killed.

With that, the battle was officially over. All four Mutated Zombies were dead.

While the fall of four Fourth Level Mutated Zombies might not mean much in the grand scheme of things, it would definitely have a huge impact on this local area.

Upon sensing with their Perception Power that the “Blood Worm” had also been successfully killed, the two Divine Demon Realm experts on the surface finally breathed a sigh of relief. Their greatest fear was that something unexpected might happen.

But just when they thought it was all over, they watched in disbelief as the trio below, instead of returning, headed deeper underground.

Now the two of them just stared at each other, at a loss for what to do.

Just then, the Communication Wristwatch on the military Divine Demon Realm expert’s arm began to vibrate rapidly.

He quickly answered it and heard a staff officer on the other end say immediately, “Hurry to area C-235. I’ve already contacted the two Divine Demon Realm experts there to come support you.”

“Also, I’ve requested two cruise missiles for fire support. You’ll handle the laser guidance. How many Blood-colored Beetles you can blow up will be up to you.”

“No, no, no!” the military Divine Demon Realm expert said hastily. While he felt a warmth in his heart knowing they had even requested cruise missiles for him, he quickly explained, “The situation’s resolved. The three experts who just arrived have already killed all four Mutated Zombies.”

The staff officer on the other end of the line went silent. He was clearly trying to process this shocking news.

After a moment, he asked, “The ones who killed the four Mutated Zombies… was it the rescue squad that just arrived?”

“Uh… I think so!” the military Divine Demon Realm expert said, a little uncertainly.

“You didn’t ask for their identities?” the staff officer asked.

“No. As soon as they arrived, they attacked, killing two ‘Death Claws’ and one ‘Giant Arm.’ Then they chased the ‘Blood Worm’ deep underground.”

“After killing the ‘Blood Worm,’ they didn’t come back. They just went deeper underground. We never had a chance to talk,” the military Divine Demon Realm expert said, sounding a bit exasperated as he recounted the events.

“What kind of abilities did they use in the fight?” the staff officer asked.

“One of them has a Fire Superpower and is good with his fists. The other is good with a sword, but I’m not sure what his specific ability is. His Sword Skill is terrifying.”

“As for the last person, he didn’t fight. And I feel like his aura is…”

“A Marrow Tempering Realm Martial Artist,” the staff officer finished for him.

“Yes, yes, yes!” The military Divine Demon Realm expert nodded repeatedly, but then he was taken aback. ‘Why would a Marrow Tempering Realm Martial Artist dare to operate alongside two Divine Demon Realm experts?’

“Alright, I understand. You two recover quickly. The next mission might be even tougher,” the staff officer said before hanging up.

Although the two rescued Divine Demon Realm experts found the situation strange and had many questions, they immediately took out Elixirs to replenish their Blood Qi Power, swallowed them, and began the Refinement process.

In truth, as Divine Demon Realm experts, they shouldn’t have been beaten so helplessly, even against two Fourth Level Middle Stage “Death Claws.”

The reason they were in such a miserable state was entirely because they had just gone through a grueling battle and didn’t have much Blood Qi Power left.

As luck would have it, that was precisely when the two “Death Claws” found them. As a result, they couldn’t even use their “Life-Sacrificing Strike” Secret Technique once during the entire fight.

They never wanted to experience such a frustrating situation a second time. So right now, they didn’t even care about their injuries; their first priority was to restore their Blood Qi Power.

Only after recovering their Blood Qi Power could they consider anything else.

…

Meanwhile, in the command staff headquarters dozens of kilometers away, Tang Xingbang hung up the communication. He sat in his chair for a good ten seconds before he could finally suppress his shock.

He then quickly pulled up the files on Zuo Wenya’s trio, attached the intelligence from this battle, and began to write a report.
