Chapter 312: Chapter 312: Preemptive Attack
"Should we take them down, or ignore them?" Longbei suddenly asked.
Kane didn’t think much and directly said, "Take them down, and let’s check our strength level within the Silver tier as a reference point."
"Alright!"
Subsequently, Kane turned to Meizike and asked, "Where are they located? Have they spotted us? What’s their status?"
"Southeast direction, judging by their actions, they haven’t discovered us. No signs of injury, they seem to be measuring their position."
"Good, then let’s move. Everyone, get into position, I’ll take the first shot."
With that, Kane dispersed the vehicle they were riding.
Cotton Candy descended from above, taking Longbei up. As per the usual, Meizike would stay in a safer position above, but that’s unnecessary this time.
Kane and his team then stealthily approached the enemy’s position.
Meanwhile, at the viewing arena.
The central big screen suddenly flashed with images of Kane’s team and team B11.
"Here they come, two teams have encountered each other."
The screen’s images attracted everyone present to watch.
Burton had been watching Kane’s situation all along, so he was prepared, as was Master Rob from the Mechanical Association beside him.
"It’s that weak Mist Warrior team."
"And they are the ones initiating the attack, they must be really confident in themselves."
"Not necessarily, it could also be arrogance, blinded by their Mist Warrior status and unable to see their actual strength," someone nearby said dismissively.
"Hahaha..." Some people started laughing.
Since Explorers rarely fight each other, it’s generally hard to gauge their strength against others.
For some arrogant youngsters, it’s easy to miss their own positioning.
Moreover, Kane and his team being all Mist Warriors, with the weakest strength among all teams, initiating the attack appeared somewhat arrogant to most onlookers.
"Tsk."
Hearing these comments, Burton sneered disdainfully.
He had sparred with Kane and his whole team recently and knew their strength well.
A nearby human attempted to chat with Burton: "This Mist Warrior squad really overestimates themselves."
"Fool!" Burton cursed his words, disdainfully returning to his place.
"Hey, why are you insulting people?" Being sent by the Battle Group to observe newcomers, he could naturally see Burton’s strength and dared not say much.
After Burton sat back down, Master Rob beside him asked, "It seems you know this team, did you come specifically for them?"
Burton glanced at him and said, "I came specifically to watch their exploration. Did you see the Dwarf? That’s my brother."
"Oh," Rob nodded knowingly, then refocused on the central screen, where Kane’s team was about to reach the edge of the other team.
Meanwhile, inside the Dungeon.
"Stop, we’re here. Going any further will alert that lion," Kreya stopped Kane beside her and said.
Hearing Kreya’s reminder, Kane nodded and then spoke in the team channel of the Ruby Lapel Pin, "Get ready, I’m going to shoot."
Kreya transformed into a Ghost, slipping around to the other side.
Kane knelt on one knee and pulled out a long sniper launcher.
Judging by the attire, it was impossible to tell who in this five-person team was the Mage or the supporting role.
The only obvious thing was their captain being a Warrior.
He could only choose one at random.
After thinking, Kane aimed at one of the two human girls, who seemed to be twins.
"Watch out!" As Kane fully aimed at her, she sensed danger and shouted to alert her team.
"Whizz!"
A transparent cone-shaped bullet shot towards her, an attack augmented with Death Gaze.
A heap of shields automatically appeared around the human girl, indicating she was the team’s Mage or support.
Those shields were penetrated by the bullet one by one, and when it was about to penetrate her head, her form instantly turned into a phantom, letting the bullet go through.
This attack failed, but it seemed to trigger some kind of life-saving equipment, confirming that the girl was their Mage or support.
"Prioritize eliminating her," Kane said in the team channel.
Meanwhile, the other team was fully entering combat readiness.
The sticky blue creature instantly transformed into a large adhesive membrane, blocking the direction of Kane’s attack.
The feline person also vanished instantly.
Layer upon layer of shields appeared on the two human girls.
At this moment, Longbei descended from the sky, transforming into a 5-meter-tall Gray Stone Giant.
Upon landing, a red ripple swiftly spread outwards from his feet.
A huge golden cross fell from above and smashed into the ground, severing Longbei’s equipment skills.
A white ripple granted enhancements to all the opposing teammates and began scorching Kane’s team as they entered the range.
This magic was cast by the human woman Kane had attacked.
The other human woman, the supporting sister, was undoubtedly the Mage; a rocket shot from her hand towards Longbei.
The lion-like man grew larger, his original over two-meter height extending to over four meters, only slightly shorter than Longbei.
His entire body emitted golden flames as he raised his axe to strike Longbei.
Meizike sprouted wings and flew to the sky, then threw four Particle Bottles with enhancements from his hand, shattering them on Kane’s team.
The reason for not applying them earlier was due to the magical energy waves, which might have alerted the team prematurely.
Kreya transformed into a white phantom, bypassing the blue membrane blocking them, and charged towards the two human girls behind.
During her charge, her body ignited with blue flames, resisting the scorching effect of the golden ripples on her.
A shell hit the membrane, exploding and engulfing it in clinging fire.
The membrane reverted to its sticky form; it was indeed weak to fire.
But he also located Kane and, after roaring, did not attack Kane’s location.
Instead, he charged directly at Kreya, attempting to stop her from attacking his teammates.
It seems he is the protective role of the team.
