Chapter 365 - Shocked Everyone

“Ah?! Summon monsters?”

“So, 24K isn’t a support-type pet. I knew it. With Brother Feng’s strength, there’s no way 24K would be just any normal pet.”

“But this game actually has summon-type pets? Moreover, from the appearance of the summoned monster, it looks like a defensive type monster… Is that right?”

Azure, Watermelon Skin, and the others had not seen the beetle soldiers before, so naturally, their reactions weren’t too drastic. Of course, since they came to the conclusion that 24K was probably a summon-type pet from their private discussion the day before when the large Elite Grade Steel Beetle appeared before them, they were all incredibly curious. After they found out that the beetle standing before them was summoned by Feng Luo’s pet, they also put down the weapons in their hands.

“This… isn’t this that… Steel Beetle?”

However, after Skynet and Ultimate Heavy Armor looked at each other, they looked incredibly shocked.

Although they did not take part in Lu Conglomerate’s City Building Cleanup mission, since they were working on another mission, many people from Veterans Tribe took part in it and recorded battle videos. As such, both of them had seen the Steel Beetle before, and from the Town of Exile town defense battle, they had also seen the video of the Level 45 Steel Beetle Boss invading the town on the forum. That was why they immediately knew the background of the beetle!

Although the Steel Beetle had average attack, its HP and defense were insane. As it was an Elite Grade monster, it also had the long-range laser attacks. If it weren’t for the fact that it moved so slowly, it could definitely be considered a gunner’s perfect pet.

“A pet that can summon other monsters. In addition to that, it can actually summon a monster as strong as the Steel Beetle. Brother Feng’s pet is definitely special!”

“But most game settings will set a timeframe for summoned pets; moreover, if the pet is killed, the summoned monster will also disappear. Overall, I think it might be better to have an Elite Grade Steel Beetle as a pet… Just what is Brother Feng thinking…”

“Ah, this is…”

Just as the two of their minds raced, their eyes became wider in the next moment.

After the Steel Beetle crawled out of the wormhole, immediately after it came another black and hardened tank-like beetle shell, though it also had some a few cracks from previous battles.

“Ah! Brother Feng! 24K can actually summon more than one combat monster?!” exclaimed Azure.

The first Elite Steel Beetle that crawled up the platform stood there without moving, the top of its black shell standing taller than Azure. Although two limbs on the beetle were broken and its shell was also slightly cracked, it still emanated a combative aura.

“Two Steel Beetles and they are both Elite Grade!” Skynet and Ultimate Heavy Armor said in shock.

Every player’s terminal could scan and obtain information about the grades of monsters. (Of course, the information obtained wasn’t as detailed as the information obtained by the Eye of the Thunder sniping scope.)

At the moment, most pets in War were mostly Normal Grade pets and a player would be incredibly proud already just to have one Elite Grade pet. As for the number of people who had Elite Grade pets, it was definitely less than one percent.

But the golden beetle on Feng Luo’s shoulder, no larger than a fist, actually summoned two Elite Grade fighter-type pets from a black hole. Moreover, they were the Steel Beetle, which had incredible defense and combat strength. It was most definitely a lot stronger than common Elite Grade pets; one could even say that its combat ability was on par with Commander Grade pets!

After all, after Commander Grade monsters became players’ pets, their strength was also substantially restrained. It was hard to say if it could win in a fight against two Elite Grade monsters.

“Wait a sec… Not two, it’s…”

At that time, the second Steel Beetle had crawled on the platform and was standing beside the first Steel Beetle beside the wormhole. It was like two black tanks were placed on the platform. However, another black shell that had signs of being corroded appeared from the middle of the black hole.

“Three?”

“Three? Could it be…”

My World and the other four were completely dumbfounded on the platform.

Three large Steel Beetles appeared. Although they did not know their combat strength, they could feel a sense of pressure from their size alone. As for the other two players watching cautiously from the side, they could not hide their shock as well.

“Oh my God! Brother Feng, just how many Steel Beetles can 24K summon?” Azure covered her mouth in shock.

“I’ll brief you guys about the details of 24K’s strength later. We should quickly discuss our tactics right now!” Feng Luo laughed and did not explain in detail. If he had done so then, they would have definitely asked more questions. To Feng Luo, it would be faster for them to witness it personally later, which wasn’t that far away. The reason was that the most important thing for them right now was to discuss and explore how they could face the Level 50 giant Octopus Commander.

It had been over two minutes since they were distracted by the Scout player; no one knew when the octopus would become hungry again and start attacking the platform!

“You two, if you don’t mind, come here and discuss with us!”

The two stunned players stared at the third Steel Beetle emerging from the wormhole beside them. Then, they looked at each other in hesitance before nodding to Feng Luo and walking over.

“Next, we’ll do this and that…”

As they spoke, Elite Grade Bladed Beetles, Spray Beetles, and Steel Beetles crawled out from the black wormhole, quickly occupying a small patch of land on the platform.

In another location, on the ground around 700 meters away from the platform: “Phew… Have you made contact with Skynet?” asked Dan Hen, panting, as he pulled the dark red Bloodtooth Knife out the head of a zombie. He pushed the Elite Grade zombie to the ground using his leg.

The Fire Manipulator, Ion Flame, behind Dan Hen was waving his communicator as he said, “Can’t get to him. The comm’s interruption is too strong!”

Ion Flame was an Advanced Level Chipmaster. In a situation like this, the tools and skills of a Chipmaster could increase the likelihood of bypassing communications blockage. However, they weren’t as lucky as Feng Luo and failed to contact Skynet.

“We can only try to get to platform 10 first. Let’s hope they can hold on!” said Dan Hen with a deep voice while reloading the emptied submachine gun.

“Skynet made the wrong choice; he shouldn’t have gone to the rooftop. He should have stayed on the ground — at least there would be more retreat options,” said the Light Armor Warrior, Frozen Red Giant, behind him while sheathing his alloy sword after hacking off the head of a zombie. He panted a little before recovering. Compared to Scout’s, Light Armor Warrior’s stamina recovery and sustainability were much stronger!

“It’s true that they would have been able to retreat if they were on the ground, but it is also more dangerous. There are zombies and infected monsters everywhere, especially…”

“Ah, look up! We have a situation!”

After they took care of the zombies that blocked their path, a Veterans Tribe Doctor who suddenly joined their team saw a large humanoid figure that had sharp claws on its arms appear from the shadow on the ground created by the flare in the sky on the edge of a not-so-tall building.

As he shouted, the large humanoid monster had already leaped from the top of the building and was charging towards them!

“It’s a Tyrant. Careful everyone!” Dan Hen shouted as his expression stiffened.

At the same time, he raised his submachine gun and released a flurry of bullets on the rotting body of the Tyrant which was already just in front of the group.

“Ta, ta, ta!”

“Heavy Armor Warriors, block it!”

“Earth Manipulators, control skills!”

The group started unleashing their attacks and hastily engaged in battle.

At the moment, it looked like there was no way for the Veterans Tribe backup to make it in time!
