?Phone reading Three women volunteered enthusiastically, determined to use the same method to knock down the other large cockroach.
E-book "Isn't it quite risky? Such a physically demanding task should be reserved for men," Qin Sha said with a cheerful smile.
"Absolutely not. You've already eliminated several of them—now it's our turn to shine," Shu Yajing handed him the camera and said, "What's risky about it? Didn't you handle the last one quite effortlessly just now?"
Luo Man added, "Exactly. First, we'll use laser beams to blind the opponent, then unleash a barrage of attacks. You're just one person, while we have three working together—coordinated teamwork will surely be more effective than what you've done."
He Muqing agreed, "Yajing and Man Man are right. As members of the special teams, we can't always have you leading the charge every time. Otherwise, wouldn't we just end up being decorative? Besides, with you providing support from the sidelines, what could possibly go wrong?"
Qin Shao only nodded in agreement, adding, "Then be careful—stick to the old rules. As soon as there's any danger, immediately retreat into the small tripod!"
"Got it," the three women said in unison.
Though he had strong objections, he still shouted loudly, "Dead cockroaches, ugly cockroaches! Here are my three aunts—don't you dare delay any longer and come to your knees to meet your fate! If you have any sense at all, just commit suicide right now—maybe you'll even win a smile from the ladies. Do you have the courage to fight three stunning beauties?"
The three women simultaneously flushed with surprise. This man was simply ridiculous—wouldn't it make more sense to gather all the women in the world and wait for the demon race to one by one take their own lives?
The large cockroach swayed its head and turned around, surprised upon seeing the four of them. It must have realized that, with the city ruined to such a state, there could still be four living people.
"Here we come—now it's your turn," Qin Shao pressed the recording button. From this moment on, he would be a diligent cameraman.
"Watch this!" Romana raised two laser weapons simultaneously, aimed simply, and then fired.
Two beams of cold blue light shot out immediately, striking precisely at the giant cockroach's eyes. She truly lived up to her reputation as the foremost of the Four Pillars of the Former Gate—her aim was impeccable. Before the giant cockroach could react, it had already experienced the sensation of blindness. Clearly more astute than the previous one, it didn't immediately use its legs to scratch, but instead lowered its body height. Yet by now, He Muqing had already opened fire, sending a relentless barrage of cannon shells. The giant cockroach was caught off guard, its two antennae constantly trembling, presumably sending distress signals to its companions at a distance. Shu Yajing, observing that the enemy seemed to intend to turn its head, promptly launched a missile that struck accurately on its neck. The explosion made the cockroach believe that turning its head would be more dangerous, so it instinctively remained still, absorbing all the cannon shells fired by He Liding. Qin Shao praised, "Well done—excellent coordination. Manman, don't idle—this blinding effect will last for some time. Keep firing!"
Romance nodded and took up another missile launcher. Tck-tck-tck-tck-tck... whoosh-whoosh... The giant cockroach was dazed and disoriented, constantly lowering its altitude, yet still unable to escape the relentless blows. Without its vision, it dared not descend too quickly. Crack! One of its antennae snapped, and it immediately lost its balance. Just as it opened its mouth, a missile struck it, leaving a massive gash on one side of its lip. Moments later, another missile arrived, and upon explosion, the gash doubled in size. Boom-boom-boom... splat... The giant cockroach finally collapsed, battered once more by the three girls, and only then did it succumb with a reluctant sigh. Like the previous one, its head was shattered. The antennae, eyes, and mouth on its head were critical weak points—any attack aimed at these areas would prove highly effective.
In fact, Qin Shao still had one idea he needed to prove—whether the big beetle's flower (the part of its body often referred to as the "flower") was also a vulnerability. It truly would be worthwhile to find one and test the effectiveness of a "flower-burst" attack.
"Done! Sisters, we've defeated it!" Shu, the police officer, shouted excitedly.
"Ha ha, what a thrilling victory!" Romane set down her now-empty missile launcher and said, "Our coordination was flawless. With just such a well-trained attack team, we could swiftly eliminate the magical race."
"Once again, it proves that ordinary weapons are sufficient to defeat the magical beings," He Muqing summarized. "Coordination is indeed crucial—any minor lapse could completely undermine the entire effort!"
Qin Shao thought to himself: Though you're using ordinary human techniques, you're still practitioners of cultivation. First, can ordinary people remain so composed when facing magical beings? Second, can you guarantee that from the very beginning, you successfully blind the giant beetle?
Third, can their coordination be this flawless? As He mentioned, even a minor mistake could mean all efforts are lost—and it's very likely they'll fall at the hands of the magical beings. In the distant sky, several dark brown dots appear. Qin notices early: "The magical beings have arrived. They must be coming with reinforcements. We should hide first and assess the situation before acting!" "Agreed," the three women nod simultaneously, though they still feel somewhat underwhelmed. After hiding within the small stele, a group of flying cockroaches arrives. The magical being's leader dons a fresh set of armor and stands atop the head of the leading cockroach. "What's going on?" he demands. All the cockroaches bow their heads, gazing at the bodies of their fallen comrades on the ground. "Who is responsible?" the leader growls in frustration. By now, he has lost nearly twenty of his subordinates, yet he still hasn't identified the culprit.
He shouted for a while, then, seeing no response, growled, "Everyone, listen up! Starting now, systematically destroy human cities—don't spare a single building or person, until the killer willingly sacrifices himself!"
In the small steaming pot, Qin Shao shrugged and said, "Since that guy wants to face me head-on, fine. I'll give him that."
