Crossing the wilderness to survive, starting with a broken kitchen knife.

At the same time, the Eagle Group took advantage of Zhang Shi being trapped and concentrated their firepower to attack Ge Dalong and his men. Various flying props, bullets and arrows flew over the sky. Wu Qing was unlucky and failed to summon the taunt totem, so she could only rely on Ge Dalong's water wall to hold on.

When the wall's duration expired, the troops lost their cover and were forced to dodge, quickly suffering casualties. Zhao Feng, enraged, attempted to charge into the enemy lines, but Ge Dalong quickly grabbed him and pulled him back, then ordered a retreat.

"These bastards are very high-level, and none of them are easy to deal with. Zhang Shi has Shadow Step, so it's easy for him to escape. If you go up now, you'll just be courting death."

Zhao Feng took a look at the dazzling skill effects in the sky and could only helplessly follow the main force to avoid the sharp edge. Ge Dalong was right. The strength of these members of the Eagle Group was very strong. Most of them had high-level skills. Their attributes and equipment crushed ordinary soldiers. It would be difficult for them to fight hard for the time being.

Zhang Shi had been battling the flame cage for quite some time when, finally, the ice armor reached its limit of damage and shattered around him. Countless sharp ice fragments exploded, extinguishing the flame cage. The fragments flew onto the Eagle Group members, scratching their exposed flesh and drawing blood. The crowd erupted in howls of grief.

Zhang Shi seized the opportunity and charged forward. Protected by the ice shards, he looked like a god of war returned from hell, his eyes gleaming with a cold light. He flashed, unleashing his Shadow Step once more, this time appearing directly behind the magician manipulating the flame barrier. Old Duan, flashing a cold light, struck the magician's spine with the force of a thunderbolt.

The magician wanted to react, but was suddenly covered by a strange force. He felt weak and all his attributes dropped drastically in an instant.

It's Wu Qing's curse.

At this critical moment, the consequence of a significant reduction in all attributes was obvious. The shadow of death enveloped the magician's entire body. Then, a cold light cut through the air, and his body was split in two. The flame barrier also suddenly dissipated due to the death of the caster.

Without the protection of the barrier, the members of the Eagle Regiment were exposed to the firepower of Zhang Shi's team and immediately fell into chaos.

Seeing this, the bearded man's eyes widened in anger, and the golden compass in his hand spun wildly, as if to absorb all the elemental power around him. With a low roar, the compass's light shone brightly, and then, the once clear sky suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and several strong lightning bolts fell from the sky, striking the core area of ​​Zhang Shi's team.

Ge Dalong was well prepared. Seeing that the situation was not good, he waved his flowing water staff from a distance, and a huge water curtain rose out of thin air. Although it could not completely block the power of thunder and lightning, it weakened its power a little.

Zhang Shi faced the lightning without flinching or dodging, standing tall and resisting the onslaught. The Black Light Armor's powerful magic resistance meant Zhang Shi only felt a slight numbness in the lightning's wake, but nothing serious happened.

However, this wasn't the only trick the bearded man had. He flashed and appeared before Zhang Shi in an instant, clutching a longsword gleaming with a faint blue light. Lightning shone across its blade, its tip pointed directly at Zhang Shi's heart. This weapon, imbued with the power of frost and lightning, froze the air wherever the tip passed, and the force of lightning ripped through space.

Zhang Shi snorted coldly, and instead of retreating, he advanced. Old Duan and the long sword collided in mid-air, making a crisp sound. The long sword, which had been so invincible just now, broke into two pieces. The energy of the sword body exploded, and the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart by this force, producing bursts of air explosions.

Zhang Shi used the reaction force of the attack to retreat violently, and at the same time, he used the Shadow Step again, trying to get behind the bearded man.

But the bearded man was obviously no ordinary man. Without any hesitation, he threw away the broken sword, flashed away again, as if he had predicted Zhang Shi's actions.

This time, he took out the compass, condensed a lightsaber made of energy in his hand, and took the initiative to move it in front of Zhang Shi.

The long sword danced, forming an impenetrable sword net, completely blocking all of Zhang Shi's attack routes. Although Lao Duan was still sharp, the bearded man's energy lightsaber could be restored the moment it was broken. The two of them exchanged blows, sword shadows intertwined, and the battle entered a white-hot stage.

At this time, although Zhao Feng was injured, the bleeding had stopped and his complexion gradually recovered under Wu Qing's emergency treatment.

Seeing the battle tense, he endured the pain and charged into the battlefield again, targeting the burly man who had attacked him earlier. The two clashed again, Zhao Feng unleashing his full combat skills, each strike carrying the force of a tsunami. The burly man, however, drew out a shield of the same design, relying on its sturdy shield and agile agility to barely hold on.

On the other side, Zhang Shi's soldiers were not idle either. They used the long-range advantage of muskets and artillery to continuously suppress the members of the Eagle Regiment with firepower. Although there was more than one person in the Eagle Regiment who could create defensive magic, their magic shields were obviously not as tough as the magician's just now. Under the continuous attack, cracks soon began to appear.

Ge Dalong controlled the flowing water staff, releasing ice storms and ice cone spells from time to time to hit the enemy, making it difficult for the Eagle Group to move forward.

As the battle reached its most intense moment, the clash between Big Beard and Zhang Shi reached a breathtaking pitch. Every clash of swords was accompanied by a tearing of the air and a burst of energy. The two figures moved swiftly across the battlefield, leaving behind a trail of dazzling afterimages.

The bearded man knew that if he continued like this, his side would inevitably fall into a deeper disadvantage. He secretly planned and decided to find an opportunity to lead everyone to evacuate.

Just as he was distracted and considering a way out, Zhang Shi seized this fleeting opportunity. With a flickering shadow step, he appeared behind the bearded man and raised his sword, ready to attack.

The bearded man had been prepared for this and used his teleportation skill with ease to create distance. At the same time, he relied on the power of the compass to create a minefield behind him to prevent Zhang Shi from teleporting and attacking again.

Zhang Shi did not use Shadow Step again, but ran at full speed towards the bearded man, and the kitchen knife and lightsaber clashed again.

Suddenly, Zhang Shi straightened his body, and the white tiger on his chest flashed. Pipi, the magic soldier, descended from the sky and jumped out from the white tiger's space. He swept a claw across the bearded man's face, catching him off guard.

Zhang Shi attacked simultaneously, slashing at the bearded man at an extremely tricky angle.

The bearded man was distracted by Pipi's movements, but his insight remained sharp and he chose to use teleportation to escape again. Zhang Shi also anticipated the bearded man's choice and followed him with Shadow Step, continuing the pursuit.

The bearded man just flashed to an open space, turned around and slashed with the lightsaber in his hand, just blocking Lao Duan's blade. The bearded man showed a smug smile and was about to say something, but he felt a creepy sense of crisis. Suddenly, a magic shield appeared on his body, and then he tried to dodge.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp iron arrow hit the bearded man's shoulder, and the energy arrow shattered his magic shield, blowing his shoulder into a bloody mess.

The bearded man endured the severe pain and quickly retreated, only to see a dark shadow not far away, holding a compound bow and aiming at him.
