Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 400 - 278: Shameless Ambush

The Tenth Leader originated from a small band of Star Thieves, bringing with her crew and warships.

So she managed to become a leader while still a B-level, and after advancing to A-level, her position was finally legitimate.

She was very respectful to several veteran leaders and asked when she heard the Third Leader speak, "Should we pursue?"

The Third Leader pondered for a moment and replied, "Let’s wait and see."

After the light dot on the screen, represented by the locator, changed direction, it continued moving, and even picked up speed.

About twenty seconds later, the Third Leader made a judgment, "It’s likely we’ve been exposed. Xiao Shi, you fly and pursue!"

"Don’t aim for merit, just avoid fault. Just hold him back."

The Tenth Leader hesitated for a moment, unable to resist voicing her question, "Why me for the pursuit? I’m only strong in defense."

In fact, the blunt attacks of the Earth Attribute weren’t bad; it’s just that the Techniques were cast a bit slowly.

The Third Leader calmly replied, "Pan Yifu’s tactical acumen is high. Since we may be exposed, we must consider a trap!"

"This light dot may not represent Pan Yifu’s location. It’s more likely he’s using a counterplot and ambushing midway for a surprise attack."

"I’m having you fly over to use your defense to withstand a possible ambush midway; just hold that light dot."

With his words finished, everyone exchanged looks... The Third Leader indeed had a plan!

The Tenth Leader, having led Star Thieves before, understood and nodded, "No problem, but I may not be able to hold Pan Yifu."

The Earth Attribute has high defense and thick health, but is generally a bit slower on speed.

The Third Leader nodded, thinking the likelihood of the light dot being Pan Yifu was indeed low, and coldly said, "Do your best."

Without further ado, the Tenth Leader raised her hand for a Finger Technique, donning herself with Rock Armor, then rose into the air, "I’ll go first!"

Now in flight, her speed increased immensely.

She didn’t fly very high, just skimming the treetops, which is standard practice for A-levels in battlefields; flying too high isn’t safe.

In an instant, she arrived, and upon seeing it, was overjoyed — it truly was Pan Yifu — this achievement was secure!

"Pan Yifu... Petrification~Falling Stone!"

Petrification is a technique derived from Rock Armor, usually attacking lower-tier warriors to armor their surface and impede their movements.

However, to hit a warrior of the same level was virtually a joke, for who at A-level wouldn’t know some Body Technique?

The Tenth Leader didn’t aim to hit Pan Yifu, just to force him to evade, leaving him unable to attack her.

The following Falling Stone was the real attack, and with an A-level Cultivation Level, its power and range were greater.

However, this blunt attack was only useful against fragile Water and Fire Attributes, finding little meaning against Gold and Wood Attributes.

Pan Yifu, with rich battle experience and decent Body Technique.

Upon being discovered, he awkwardly dodged among the trees while casting a Finger Technique to release a Technique, "Fire Dragon!"

Techniques like Flaming Arrow are practically useless against Earth Attribute; only a Fire Dragon wrapping around could inflict significant harm.

However, despite her recent advancement, the Tenth Leader was in flight; even if her Body Technique wasn’t great, evading was hardly difficult.

While evading, she continued casting Falling Stone, the massive rocks causing branches and leaves to scatter, even breaking trees as thick as barrels.

Pan Yifu became much more embarrassed, his Body Technique was decent, but he was quite helpless against area attacks.

He could fly up, but... he didn’t dare, who knows what else might be aiming at him?

If it were just the two of them in a duel, he wouldn’t be fazed by the opponent, but now he had to flee in disarray.

However, while the Earth Attribute moves slower, flying in the air it had no fear of being shaken off.

During his escape, Pan Yifu didn’t forget to occasionally retaliate with a Fire Dragon.

Even though they were in vain each time, he at least had to make the opponent apprehensive, right?

Anyway, watching the two battle, it looked like an A-level fight, but the feel of it seemed... like two weaklings pecking each other.

The Tenth Leader endeavored to hold Pan Yifu, and the Third Leader was stunned from afar, "No way... it turned out like this?"

He carefully discerned and verified that the Fire Dragon was indeed at A-level before muttering softly, "He’s not discovered?"

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t believe in coincidences, but right now... facts speak louder than words! 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

After pondering, his body decisively rose, "I’m going to pursue, you three follow!"

The Third Leader was indeed a bit fragile, but the Water Attribute’s defense was somewhat better than the Fire Attribute.

As for the opponent having two B-level warriors, he didn’t consider them at all... they were his own people!

Even if they weren’t, it didn’t matter; mere Wood and Earth Attributes were not enough to break his defense!

Actually, he was also keenly perceiving whether there were other warriors hiding; if there were any B-level Gold Attributes, it would pose some threat.

But... he truly did not sense any!

After flying out more than a kilometer, he suddenly felt a massive threat envelop him, "This is bad~"

However, it was already too late. A laser shot up from below, as fast as lightning.

When he was hit, he finally realized, "Damn it, it’s actually an Anti-Armor Sniper Rifle!"

At that moment, he especially regretted that before Tenth Captain’s pursuit, I should have had her put up a layer of Rock Armor for me!

Why didn’t I do that? The reason is simple: when Tenth Captain wears Rock Armor, it causes Earth Element fluctuations.

To prevent Pan Yifu from detecting it and then accelerating his escape, Tenth Captain put on Rock Armor herself and chased after him.

Third Captain didn’t think this was a mistake. Apart from Pan Yifu, he wasn’t really afraid of anyone else’s attack.

But now, reality taught him a deep and unforgettable lesson—acting too presumptuously is not a good idea.

Even an A-level Sander with a Wood Attribute would spit blood if hit by such a laser unprepared, and Third Captain wasn’t much better off.

He did have a not-so-thin layer of Ice Armor, but the laser cutting through Ice Armor... that was just too easy.

Third Captain’s body jolted violently, his whole body was thrown up, and then he felt a tightness in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

In fact, he was quite aware of the power of the Anti-Armor Sniper Rifle, knowing it could harm him.

As he was thrown into the air, all he could think was—how could there be someone there? I clearly sensed it!

Third Captain was shot and flung upwards, and the three B-level Star Thieves hurrying behind saw it all clearly.

"Despicable!" The Gold Attribute Star Thief watched, his eyes tearing up, "Attacking an Ultimate Warrior with hot weapons, what a coward!"

His body suddenly accelerated, while making sure to say, "Follow behind me, I have the Golden Armor Technique for protection."

A Water Attribute Star Thief advised, "You should layer a few more. It’s an anti-material Laser Sniper Rifle."

Layering techniques requires a high level of elemental micro operation, which is difficult for general B-level Warriors.

But this guy was at the peak of B-level. He cast the Golden Armor Technique on himself while sprinting, "I can only layer three times."

He also wrapped the two Water Attribution members behind him with Golden Armor, so there was no need to worry too much.

During the conversation, another laser struck the falling Third Captain, who was flung upwards again.

It looked just like a pinball game, and that Divine Shooter seemed unwilling to let Third Captain hit the ground.

"Too much bullying!" The Gold Attribute Star Thief accelerated again, in a hurry, not even bothering to go around small trees but crashing straight through.

The two B-level Water Attribution followed closely, gritting their teeth, "Capture alive, make sure this guy wishes he were dead!"

The humiliation of Third Captain was a disgrace to all Star Thieves, and just killing the opponent wouldn’t satisfy them!

Okay, this was just one reason, but more importantly, although Third Captain was Water Attribute, he really had a bad temper.

If they could capture the person alive, at least Third Captain wouldn’t vent his anger on the three of them.

Wouldn’t Third Captain die? Most likely not. Those two shots had already propelled Third Captain quite far.

Perhaps one more shot, and then Third Captain would almost like a projectile motion, land five or six kilometers away.

Just three shots might heavily injure Third Captain, to kill him... it’s really not that easy.

However, after this, Third Captain would at least need two or three years to recuperate, which was to be expected.

When the third shot rang out, the Gold Attribute Star Thief was less than eight hundred meters from the gunman and successfully locked on to the opponent.

He snorted coldly, raising his hand expressionlessly while running to form a Finger Technique, "Bastard, Golden Thread Technique~"

He really intended to capture the opponent alive; otherwise, he would have used techniques like Golden Arrow or Golden Spear.

Whether it was his luck or misfortune, if he really had tried that, he’d have been shocked to realize he couldn’t break through the opponent’s defense.

However, even now, he wasn’t much better off. After the Golden Thread Technique was cast, he screamed in fright, "Flowing, Quicksand Technique?"

When he shouted, the quicksand was already up to his calves.

It wasn’t that he reacted too slowly; it was just... running too fast without stopping, directly rushing into the quicksand.

The two behind him, who were Water Attribute... were the same, there was no helping it, everyone was anxious to take revenge for Third Captain.

It was only at this moment that the gunman looked over with indifference.

This person was dressed in camouflage clothing, wearing a hood, but just looking at the exposed eyes you could tell, there was no emotion in them.

Looking at these three people was like looking at the dead.

A Water Attribute took a cold breath, even forgetting about the quicksand underfoot, "Could it, could it be that person?"

Ninth Captain beheaded and displayed was a recent nightmare that the Star Thieves couldn’t erase.

Qu Jianlei glanced at the three of them, then paid no more attention, directly flew into the air toward Tenth Captain not far away.

"Damn..." The Gold Attribute Star Thief’s eyes nearly bulged out, "Bastard, it really is him, truly shameless!"

"It’s over," one Water Attribute sighed, filled with despair in his voice, "Two A-levels, we’re doomed!"

The other Water Attribute was also resentful, "Already A-level, yet still using a sniper rifle to ambush, really shameless."
