Chapter 673: A Frantic Fight Against the Scorpion-tailed Monsters

Using the fleeing exosuits below me as a springboard, I reached the scorpion-tailed monsters in no time at all.

Perhaps it was because I had just slain one of their numbers, but upon noticing my presence, a fair number of them immediately abandoned their current prey, instead electing to rush at me, even going so far as to ignore the survivors running past them

Speaking of survivors, the cruel irony of this whole tragedy wasnt lost on me at all. Amongst all the survivors right now, the ones who joined us the latest had to be the most unfortunate. We had no exosuits for them, so I had them arranged right in the center of the contingent. Yet what looked like the safest place ended up being the opposite when the monsters suddenly ambushed us. I wasnt even talking about the monsters killing them either

Weighing in at one and a half tonnes, the entertainment exosuits easily had the impact of a hover car when they sprinted. In other words, amidst the mass panic of the ambush, the ten or so survivors without exosuits were crushed or smashed to pieces by the ones who were supposed to be guarding them A veritable hell on Gaia for them

Seeing the field of mangled corpses laid out before me, a wave of anger immediately consumed me. My body shook with fury, and my eyes turned red with blood

I hated those monsters. I wanted them dead, every last one of them. At the same time, I hated those cowards, even armed with an exosuit, they still fled like mice. Above all, I hated myself for not noticing the monsters, and for not being able to protect those trampled people

As more survivors fell, my heart only beat that much faster.

RAWWWRR! I let forth a guttural roar, born from my inner helplessness. I took one last leap off an exosuit, then took to the air like a bird!

Like a well-oiled machine, the girls backed away in unison. Bitong commanded the three unmanned exosuits to act as shields for them, forcefully grabbing onto the tail of that monster and locking down the monster in the process.

The force of three exosuits was more than enough to suppress that skeleton, especially when those three were all acting under one will. The first exosuit locked down the monsters tail. The second jumped onto the monsters back. The third locked the monsters neck in a chokehold, completing the seal on its movements.

From the sides, Lixiang and Jiaojiao both wielded their hammers and began smashing its head, cracking open its skull in no time at all

Hah who would have thought that the girls would come through like that and Jiaojiao was even crying just moments ago too look at her swing that hammer now In fact, she seems strangely practised in slamming that hammer down onto round objects yikes

Now that we had taken care of a portion of the monsters, the fleeing survivors began to realise that these monsters werent as undefeatable as they first thought. Especially after how they saw the girls gang up on that lone skeleton.

If even those young girls can do it, why cant we? The older men amongst them were probably thinking. Thats right! In fact, some of them even voiced this thought out.

Soon after, a number of survivors began banding up into teams of four and five to take on the monsters. Lest one forgot, these exosuits still had weapons on them, though not very efficient ones. Emboldened, they began overwhelming the monsters with sheer numbers. A shield-wielding exosuit would first block the tail, while the others would then take the opportunity to dogpile on the monster. Following that, another exosuit would crack open the monsters skull.

With a successful example to learn from, the entire morale of the contingent began to soar! Never would I have thought that these potatoes would mount a counterattack like that! Was this what it means to lead by example? The difference between CHARGE! and WITH ME!.

Thanks to the overwhelming numbers and inherently sturdy defenses of the survivors, the majority of our casualties ended up only being the initial few and those who were trampled to death
