At the same time as Yang Fan and others set off, on a rocky ground on the fifth floor, Bai Hao and several members of the city defense team stood back to back, vigilantly looking at the disaster beasts that were lurking around them, their tired eyes filled with bloodshot.
This was the third hour since they were trapped by the disaster beasts. Every once in a while, the disaster beasts would attack them and consume their energy.
The strange thing is that whenever they are about to be unable to bear it, the disaster beasts will quickly retreat, giving them time to catch their breath.
Bai Hao knew that he had fallen into a trap set by people outside the city, but he didn't understand why the people outside the city didn't get rid of them after discovering them. Instead, they trapped them here, only consuming their energy and not taking their lives.
Bai Hao thought of his comrades who had successfully broken through before, and felt even more puzzled.
There are at least three thousand of these disaster beasts. Although they are basically first-level disaster beasts, they are an extremely powerful force when gathered together. It is impossible for them, the second-level planet masters with average strength, to break through successfully.
"Could it be that these people outside the city are plotting something? Could it be that they want to use me as bait to trap and kill a Level 3 Planet Master?"
Bai Hao shook his head. Not to mention whether these disaster beasts have the ability to hunt down a third-level planet master, even if they do, it is unlikely that the third-level planet master of Zhangcheng will come here specifically to rescue him.
When disaster beasts invade, each third-level planet master is a powerful force capable of defending an area and shoulders an important mission.
Unless Zhangcheng was breached by the disaster beasts, they would never interrupt their mission and come to rescue for the sake of a second-level planet master and a dozen first-level planet masters.
Although this is more humane, it is not a good thing from the perspective of the entire Zhangcheng.
Any third-level planet lord who leaves his post without permission may cause a stronghold outside the city to be breached by disaster beasts. Once the disaster beasts break through the defense line, those planet lords who are performing tasks at the lower level will be in danger.
Therefore, at this time, the most likely people who would come to rescue are planet masters of the same level, and their number would not be large.
After all, rescuing a second-level planet master is extremely dangerous, and one's life may be in danger if one is not careful.
Moreover, the second-level planet masters themselves also have missions to complete. Unless they have almost completed the mission, they dare not leave the area they are responsible for without permission.
Especially the members of the city defense team, they have very clear tasks and goals from the beginning, shoulder important missions, and must obey the arrangements of their superiors unconditionally.
Relatively speaking, teachers and students in major middle schools have much more freedom. They do not have clear tasks, but they need to assist the city defense team in combat at certain times. Most of the time they can arrange their own time.
This is also the reason why when the city defense team encounters problems that cannot be solved, they do not contact their teammates in the city defense team first, but instead look for teachers and students from major middle schools for help.
Especially now, this class of senior high school students has gradually grown up. Some outstanding students have been promoted to first-level planet masters. The top ones like Yang Fan can even fight their way in and out of the siege of first-level disaster beasts.
There are three homeroom teachers participating in the rescue operation of Bai Hao. They are all second-level planet masters. Although their combat effectiveness is not top-notch, they are experienced and have no problem dealing with ordinary second-level disaster beasts.
Adding Yang Fan's hidden combat power, it should be enough to deal with three thousand first-level disaster beasts.
Even if they cannot win in a head-on fight, they can break through quickly and avoid losing their lives.
Therefore, the three teachers in the rescue team appeared very confident and followed closely behind the middle-aged man.
Only Yang Fan quietly kept a certain distance from the middle-aged man and remained vigilant against him.
He had no evidence to prove that there was anything wrong with the middle-aged man, but he still chose to trust his intuition and be more cautious.
Ten minutes later, Yang Fan and his group finally reached the fifth floor. The noisy roars of beasts coming from afar seemed to tell them that the army of disaster beasts that trapped Bai Hao and others was not far away from them.
They quickened their pace and ran towards the source of the sound. They felt that the vague roar of the beast became clearer and louder, and finally became deafening.
"Where are Bai Hao and the others?" a teacher from No. 3 Middle School asked in confusion.
The roars were deafening, so we should have seen a large number of disaster beasts, right? Why was there only a few sparse weeds around, aside from some severely weathered boulders?
What puzzled them the most was that the middle-aged man who brought them here suddenly stopped and froze in place. No matter how others called him, he didn't move at all.
Everyone realized something was wrong, assumed fighting stances, and nervously observed their surroundings.
At this moment, the middle-aged man's eyes were filled with a hint of blood red, and his body began to move.
whoosh!
The middle-aged man rushed towards Yang Fan with a huge axe in his hand. His burly body looked heavy, but his movements were as fast as lightning. He was in front of Yang Fan in just a moment!
"Sure enough, he has been controlled by someone outside the city. He has lost his consciousness and cannot control his body!"
Yang Fan noticed from the beginning that something was wrong with the middle-aged man, so he remained alert and was not frightened by his sudden attack. Instead, he responded calmly.
However, before Yang Fan could officially fight with the middle-aged man, Zhou Wenshi rushed over first, slapped the middle-aged man on the chest, knocked him back, and then grabbed Yang Fan and ran towards the other two teachers.
Yang Fan was caught in Zhou Wenshi's hand and couldn't help feeling a little confused.
He was already a second-level planet master at this time, and in terms of combat power, he was far ahead of Zhou Wenshi.
But in Zhou Wenshi's eyes, Yang Fan was just a relatively powerful first-level planet master, a student who needed his protection.
Once a teacher, always a father. This is an instinct engraved in the genes. Perhaps Zhou Wenshi didn't know why he reacted so quickly, but he just did it.
Yang Fan felt a little touched and did not rush to break free from Zhou Wenshi's hand. Instead, he stimulated the spiritual energy in his body, gathered it on his index finger, and began to draw in the air.
They have now fallen into a trap, and the subsequent battle will definitely be very dangerous, so Yang Fan must prepare for the battle as soon as possible.
Zhou Wenshi did not notice Yang Fan's actions. He had already come to the other two teachers and was discussing the current situation with them.
"That man's mind was controlled by an unknown force, and leading us here probably isn't good news. We might have stepped into a trap set by someone with ulterior motives, and are trapped here by the calamity beasts. Those deafening roars might be coming from them!"
