Chapter 102 Stealing the Killing Blow

The Hunting Team had barely left the city when they were attacked, but this time, the party was comprised of elite soldiers.

The beasts that charged at them were quickly dealt with by the Hunting Group leading the way, and they did not affect the Hunting Team's travel speed.

It wasn't until the seventh minute that they encountered a Giant Claw Lord, which had secretly amassed an army amidst the beast tide.

Though the beasts under its command were not as powerful as it, their sheer numbers posed a challenge. Moreover, the Giant Claw Lord was cunning, ordering its minions to charge while it hid beneath the sand, waiting for an opportunity to launch a surprise attack.

Relying solely on the vanguard to resolve such a multitude of beasts was clearly insufficient; the Hunting Team had to slow down, and many hunters even jumped off their motorcycles to deal with the never-ending stream of beasts surrounding them.

He Yueji's expression remained unchanged as she used her Flying Sickle to kill a grey-backed jackal that came too close, and then she gestured to the two teammates beside her with a nod of her chin.

"Go and find that Giant Claw Lord, and take it down," she said.

Upon hearing this, a petite female hunter crouched down on the sands, activating her Beast-Series Psychic Ability.

Within moments, she could hear every movement within a mile radius, but due to the abundance of nearby creatures, it took her a full four minutes to locate the crafty Giant Claw Lord.

"Over there," the petite hunter rose to her feet and pointed towards the base of a sand dune.

Hearing this, a tall and thin man with dense tattoos covering his face strode towards the indicated sand dune.

When he arrived in front of the dune, he plunged his hands into the gravel and began chanting an incantation.

Unlike other hunters, his powers activated significantly slower, taking almost a minute to warm up.

Ma Lu then saw the sand dune tremble, as a giant claw emerged from beneath, followed by a forelimb.

It seemed the Giant Claw Lord attempted to burrow out from under the dune, but after revealing only part of its body, it got stuck.

Despite its struggles, the rest of its body could not make it to the surface.

The nearby gravel was compressed by an invisible force.

Now was the moment!

The hunters of the Cyren Hunting Group had hunted together countless times and displayed remarkable teamwork.

As the Giant Claw Lord was trapped, two hunters immediately rushed up with heat-cutting machines, slicing off a portion of the Giant Claw Lord's sturdy shell, then stabbed it with a Mechanical Spear.

The Giant Claw Lord struggled fiercely after being struck in a vital spot, and blood flowed from the tattooed hunter's nose.

"Hm?"

The loud noise also drew He Yueji's attention.

She had been glaring ferociously at Ma Lu, but when she turned around, she saw that the Giant Claw Lord, which had been taken down, was seemingly alive again.

Playing dead?

Some wild beasts possess the ability to feign death, but it was the first time He Yueji had encountered a Giant Claw Lord doing this, and she had not heard of anything similar before.

Was it some special effect caused by the beast tide?

Without time to ponder the underlying reasons, He Yueji looked to the tall, thin man with the tattooed face.

"Dormon, can you still restrain it?"

The tall, thin man replied emotionlessly, "I need time."

"I'll get someone to buy you time."

While they were talking, the resuscitated Giant Claw Lord swung its claws, driving back some hunters who tried to approach it.

But afterward, it did not launch any further attacks, instead burrowing back into the sand.

"It's trying to escape!"

The short female hunter, who had previously located the Giant Claw Lord, was now lying on the sand again, carefully listening to the noises coming from underground and warning them.

"Which direction did it go? Let's pursue it," offered two hunters.

But after some thought, He Yueji shook her head and said, "Never mind, let it go. Our target this time is the Six-armed Ancient Ape. Don't waste time and energy on these minor characters. Let's clean up the nearby beasts quickly and continue forward."

Hearing this, the others also had no objections.

Meanwhile, after the Giant Claw Lord's Corpse Puppet burrowed into the sand, Ma Lu lost sight of it, but the red light underground was still there, along with the previous three options.

Ma Lu asked Mai Mai and discovered that, same as the previous poison layers, only he could see these red lights and options.

He tried controlling the Corpse Puppet to move underground for a distance, only letting it resurface after escaping the danger.

Because two sand dunes blocked the view, Ma Lu could not see the situation on the other side, but this did not prevent him from issuing an attack command.
