"There's either something they're not telling us or there's something going on that they don't know about." Shen Tianyu clapped her hands to gather everyone's wandering thoughts.
"Anyways, let's take guard in shifts and be prepared to release a signal flare if something other than what's written in the requests appear. We still need to complete the requests but still better to be safe than sorry." Everyone nodded in agreement with tense expressions. The first group that got to rest was of course the one consisting of the highest statuses, in other words, Shen Tianyu's group.
Thankfully the shack had enough space for five people to lay down side by side so they set up some simple beds and laid down to close their eyes. The girls were sandwiched between the two boys with the fighter of the two, Lun Aoman guarding the door while the medic, Nian Yingge was squished against the wall. Naturally, Lun Aoman just couldn't live without his sister so she was next to him and Ming Yunyue was Nian Yingge's fiancee so it was inappropriate for him to lay next to another woman.
They didn't sleep per se, as probably no one could in their situation but resting your body without going into dreamland was still sufficient for them.
In the middle of the night, Ningwu Liushan's group woke them up to switch shifts and they immediately got up to do so.
When the sun rose, a swarm of black covering the orange sky and the green and brown ground emerged from the forest.
"They're here!" Lun Aoman warned his teammates as he readied his sword.
"Ming Gongzhu, please protect our two medics." Shen Tianyu said as she charged into the swarm with Lun Aoman.
Hearing the commotion outside, the group inside the shack rushed outside in attacking stances.
"We'll help!" Someone said.
"No, it's okay. This is our request." Lun chang refused.
"But it's connected. If you guys don't get rid of these Demon Rats and Ghost-faced Bees, we might have to deal with them while fighting the Black Eagles." Bai Yaoxuan was used to this kind of stubbornness so she used reason instead.
"What she said is true..." Nian Yingge mumbled as he ruffled through his supplies for some medicine.
"Then, alright. Please leave your ranged fighters and medical staff here. I'm from the Fist Department." Ming Yunyue wasn't going to be magnanimous at a time like this. Just looking at the swarms made her break into a cold sweat. Though no one knew what Shen Tianyu's limits were, it was still a worrying number.
"It just so happens we only have one medic." One of the strangers from Ningwu Liushan's group nodded and obediently walked next to Lun Chang and Nian Yingge.
...
"This is enough to siege a few cities! Why have they only stayed in one poor village?" Shen Tianyu shouted as she approached with her companion.
"It's certainly concerning. Maybe we should leave these missions to someone higher." Lun Aoman sent out a blast of spiritual energy using his sword.
"Since it's come to this, I can't afford to hold back either." Shen Tianyu mumbled as she procured a few bamboo tubes from her Wind Shrine space. She sparked a fire using her spiritual power and set the oil-soaked pieces of rope covering the entrances of the bamboo tubes on fire. She then threw them at the approaching Ghost-faced Bees the size of flying cats.
The resulting explosion took care of the first group approaching.
"Wow, what's that! Where'd you get those!" Lun Aoman whistled as he watched the Ghost-faced Bees fall from the sky.
"Don't mind that. Concentrate!" Shen Tianyu took out another batch of bombs and threw them. She then took out a pair of chakram[1] and jumped up. With her spiritual power's help, she was able to float a bit longer in midair and made sure the purplish-green colored blade of the weapon would stick together, she then threw it at the undeterred wave.
She then brought out a flat flying guillotine[2] with too many teeth to count and threw that out too as she held the chain. With her free hand, she ignited a few more bombs and threw out a few more weapons coated in poison. She left the ground to Lun Aoman as letting the demonic beasts have control over the airspace of the battlefield was definitely not advantageous and could even cost them to lose. Later, Ningwu Liushan's group joined in and she only gave them a nod of acknowledgement from the sky.
Fortunately the two Young Masters also understood how important airspace was and helped her in getting rid of the Ghost-faced Bees, though they weren't as resourceful as Shen Tianyu. For the daggers she threw out, she made sure to attach a string of spiritual power to them so she could pull them back to her. Actually, all the weapons she threw out had strands of her spiritual power attached to them so she could recall them so to the others, it seemed like she was tangled up in a spider's web.
Well it would be considering there was a chakram, more than a dozen daggers repeatedly being thrown out, a few shuriken that was poisoned instead of being packed with explosives, and more than a few spears she was controlling with multiple strands. Not to mention the flatter version of the flying guillotine she was holding the chain of and the sword she occasionally sent bursts of spiritual energy from.
'I could use a crossbow but it's not effective against such a large number and exploding arrows aren't safe to set off at such a close distance even for me.' Shen Tianyu thought to herself as she scanned the remaining repertoire she had in her personal warehouse. Though she was sure it wasn't intended to be used as so.
"These damn beasts!" Bai Longtian clicked his tongue as he slashed another Ghost-faced Bee up front. Since the two didn't have as many long distanced weapons, they were fighting a little ahead of Shen Tianyu, who had to manage and control all the weapons she had deployed on the field.
