As those reckless heroes charged toward us, cold sweat poured down my forehead.
Brother, you guys can't do this! Dozens of you ganging up on the three of us, isn't that a bit too despicable and shameless?
Just thinking about those bone knives and wooden sticks coming at me all at once, without any blind spots, makes my scalp tingle.
With such a comprehensive and unpredictable attack coming at once, what can we do even if we react quickly?
This is like locking yourself in a confined space. Your movement space is restricted, so how can you effectively dodge?
Damn it, is the heavens going to kill me?!
Now, besides detonating the Glory Bomb and perishing together with Haru, all that's left is to fight Haru hand-to-hand.
Until the very last moment, I still wanted to cling to a sliver of hope. What if we could break through the encirclement? Although that idea was rather difficult.
"Master, it looks like we're going to die here today." Su Su said dejectedly.
"No, we're so powerful, we'll definitely fight our way out. Maybe the Dragon Riders will come to our aid soon."
Dante, who was standing nearby, offered words of comfort.
"Dante is right, we can't give up on ourselves too easily. If we really can't go on, we can use that thing when we're exhausted."
At that moment, I calmed down and a smile appeared on my lips.
At that moment, one of the Haru revealed an opening, and I immediately swung my knife straight at its body. The Haru's heart was instantly pierced, and after a few shudders, it collapsed.
"However, if we continue like this, we can only defend passively, and our strength will eventually run out."
As Susu dodged and parried, she still held little hope. She could hold them off for a while, but how long could they last once all the Haru attacked?
Susu's worries were not unfounded; it really did seem like we were on a dead end. After all, Pat and Top's support was very limited; they couldn't possibly wipe out all the Haru with stones.
Haru is clearly giving up now, risking his life to fight to the death with our side. How can the situation not be urgent?
We need to find a breakthrough as soon as possible and get rid of these Haru's entanglements, otherwise we will all really die here today.
To break this deadlock, a surprise attack is necessary, but surprise attacks are not so easy. He has already used several methods to escape Haru's encirclement multiple times.
This time, they didn't give us any chance at all; they went straight for the kill, using drugs right from the start. They didn't even leave us a chance to prepare, which really puts us in a difficult position.
Just as I was dealing with Haru's attack with a worried expression, I almost tripped over a vine.
I was so startled that I quickly regained my composure. In this situation, if we didn't watch our step, and something went wrong, our chances of winning would be even slimmer since we didn't have many people to begin with.
That's it! Under your feet!
This opened my mind. We are now on high alert, focusing our attention on high-intensity defense of our upper body.
We were nervous, but the Haru were even more nervous than us, since they also had to worry about pebbles falling on their heads from time to time.
At this point, everyone's attention was focused on the upper body combat area, and they obviously didn't pay much attention to the lower body.
If we suddenly change the rhythm and strategy of our attack, and disrupt Haru's original foundation, they will collapse on their own!
Having thought of this, I already had an idea. Dante and I might suffer a little loss for the time being, but in order to survive, that's not so important anymore.
"Susu, Dante, you must follow my orders!"
Upon hearing this, Su Su and Dante were both invigorated, and their eyes brightened.
They had spent a considerable amount of time with Tang Yi and knew that since Tang Yi had spoken up like this, she must be planning something new.
Nobody cares about anything else right now, even bad ideas. As long as they can escape, nobody cares about anything else. Besides, these fancy tricks aren't new.
"Sir, this is a matter of life and death, so please stop keeping us in suspense and tell us what to do."
Dante was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet. These Haru were incredibly strong, and his own hands were already numb from the shock. If he hadn't forced himself to hold the knife, it probably would have slipped from his grasp by now.
"Dante, we'll be at a slight disadvantage from now on. Let's each take half of Haru's offensive and hold out for a while."
"Master, and then what?"
Su Su also asked anxiously. Her master was good in every way, but he liked to keep things mysterious, which was really driving her crazy.
"Susu, right now Haru and the others are focused on the top lane. You're fast, so crouch down and do the opposite, focusing on Haru's lower lanes."
I don't care what you do—sever their tendons or ligaments, sever their kidneys, or ambush them in the groin—do whatever's insidious, as long as those Haru can't unleash their full fighting potential!
"hiss……"
Dante, after hearing this, felt quite pleased. "Truly befitting the Master," he thought, "insidious and wicked indeed!"
If Susu were to use her hand speed, Dante could imagine that a large number of Haru's silver bells would be knocked off, and Susu would instantly become a clumsy girl.
Just thinking about it made Dante feel a chill run down his spine.
Su Su agreed and immediately picked up the knife and bent down to start "working".
Susu lived up to her reputation as the fastest-reacting member of the Mira tribe; a knife flew through her hands. With a flash of light, the Achilles tendons and thigh muscles of the Haru were severed one after another.
Of course, occasionally when cutting thigh muscles, she would accidentally cut Haru's silver bell, but Susu swore that she had no such perverse taste and it was just an accident!
Although the Haru enhanced by the mushrooms were powerful, all their attention was focused on their upper bodies at the moment, and no one noticed the wide-open bottom lane.
Within a few breaths, seven or eight of Haru's lower body limbs became unresponsive. Realizing they had been ambushed, Haru raised her sword and slashed at the girl.
But how could Dante and I ignore Susu's safety at this moment? The moment they were distracted and raised their swords to strike, Dante and I also struck at the same time, killing four Haru one after the other.
Haru didn't expect us to act so unpredictably. Many of Haru's actions were quickly overwhelmed by Susu's lower body abilities.
Those Haru who lack physical structural support, no matter how much they unleash their physical potential, it will be to no avail.
As Haru, who was blocking our way, fell one after another, things were developing in the direction we had hoped for.
Dante and I are currently facing an attack from a large group of Haru, and we have been wounded in several places. Fortunately, we dodged in time, and most of the injuries we suffered were just abrasions.
It seemed that we only needed to hold on a little longer to break through and escape Haru's encirclement.
Just then, the Haru leader, who was clearly a size larger, leaped and blocked our way.
At this moment, Chief Haru was also holding a heavy bone knife, and its eyes were also bloodshot, clearly indicating that it had also eaten mushrooms.
