Armor Guardians

Chapter 120 Sneak Attack
After eating and drinking their fill, everyone suddenly felt sleepy.

Afterwards, Long Linghuai, the temporary captain of the Dragon Group team, began to arrange the night watch personnel. However, he dared not assign anyone from the Shadow Group, not even Xia Qianxue, Xia Qianmeng's younger sister.

"I'll take two hours first. After that, Liao Jiafei, Xiao Yun, Ling Li, and Jiang Jian, you can each take turns guarding for two hours, right?" Long Linghuai asked his teammates.

"No problem." ×4
Although I knew Xia Qianxue wasn't among them, there was nothing I could do. After all, she had a relative named Xia Qianmeng who was a member of the film crew.
And so, the night watchmen were assigned, while the rest of the people wasted no time and made the most of their time to get some sleep, anticipating a major battle tomorrow.

Originally, Xia Qianmeng wanted to sleep in the tree as usual, but seeing Xia Qianxue leaning against the tree root looking very lonely, she finally softened.

ah~
With a sigh, Xia Qianmeng finally jumped down from the tree and sat down next to Xia Qianxue. In the end, she couldn't suppress the urge to take care of her younger sister.

Seeing Xia Qianmeng return to keep her company, unsurprisingly, the light in Xia Qianxue's eyes returned. The two remained silent, but Xia Qianxue hugged Xia Qianmeng's arm to sleep, and Xia Qianmeng did not object.

Three o'clock in the morning
Under the bright moonlight, accompanied by the rustling of leaves, a series of eerie green eyes appeared, all of them looking at the place where Xia Qianmeng and her companions were temporarily resting, and then slowly moved forward.

Although the members of the Black Group were already very cautious, the sound of their footsteps still caught the attention of Xia Qianmeng and the two burly men from the Shadow Group.

So Xia Qianmeng slowly opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Yun, who was keeping watch by the fire. She found him staring blankly at the fire, probably unaware of the abnormality nearby.

However, it's not surprising. The members of the Black Group are professionally trained, and the sound of the surrounding leaves also masked their presence, so it's normal that Xiao Yun couldn't detect it immediately.

However, she did not go over to warn Xiao Yun that the enemy was coming and to have him wake up the others, because she had already seen the two burly men from the Shadow Group go over to warn Xiao Yun.

"What? The enemy is stronger than us?"

Upon hearing the words of the two burly men from the Shadow Group, Xiao Yun didn't hesitate at all. He ran over and woke up the people around him: "Wake up, wake up, the enemy is coming."

As for Xia Qianxue, she had already been woken up by Xia Qianmeng. After all, Xia Qianmeng was right next to her, and it was Xia Qianmeng's responsibility to take care of her younger sister.

Realizing what was happening, the Dragon Group members immediately became alert; however, several minutes passed and no enemies arrived...

Faced with this situation, Xiao Yun couldn't help but doubt the two burly men's words: "Brothers, where is the enemy?"

"Nearby"

Originally, the Dragon Group members were also about to lower their guard, but after hearing the Shadow Group man's words, they immediately became alert again. Nearby? That meant they were surrounded?
Just as the Dragon Group members had this idea, the Black Group members stopped pretending and came clean, jumping out of the bushes and opening fire with their guns.

"Oh no, summon the armor quickly!"

Upon noticing the firearms in the hands of the Black Group, at Long Linghuai's signal, the members of the Dragon Group immediately summoned their Divine Beast Armor; otherwise, without the protection of their protective aura, they would have been riddled with bullets.

Xia Qianxue was the same. After summoning her Vermilion Bird Armor, she wanted to stand in front of Xia Qianmeng to block the bullets. Perhaps she couldn't do much to make up for the past apologies to Xia Qianmeng now, but she could still block bullets.

Although she wouldn't die, it would hurt a lot. Xia Qianxue wanted to block the bullet, but Xia Qianmeng, who doted on her younger sister too much, wouldn't necessarily let her do that. Originally, Xia Qianxue stood in front of Xia Qianmeng, but Xia Qianmeng pulled her behind her.

Although Xia Qianmeng did not summon her Candlelight Armor, the bullets still could not break through her defenses; they were deflected when they hit her protective aura.

There weren't many members of the Black Group around, maybe thirty or so. If they were divided up by headcount, the Dragon Group members would only need to take out a few each.

Why is it said that everyone in the Dragon Group is involved?

That's because the attacks from the Black Group members couldn't break through the defenses of the two burly men and Xia Qianmeng, so they posed no threat to them. As for the opportunity to show off, let the Dragon Group have that chance.

Neither of the two burly men who saw Xia Qianmeng made a move, and the members of the Dragon Group seemed to know what they were planning to do, so they did not hesitate and wanted to take care of their opponents separately.

However, at that moment, several wisps of black mist suddenly appeared around them, followed by the emergence of one after another mutant flesh.

Without any shouts of battle, the ten mutant beasts appeared and attacked the armored soldiers with their weapons. Moreover, they were all of exceptionally high level, each being a top-tier mutant beast.

That's right. The top-tier mutant beasts that Xia Qianmeng used to struggle to find are now being used as lowly soldiers. It seems they've stirred up a huge horde, and there are probably even more powerful mutant beasts inside.

Ten top-tier alien beasts fighting six divine beast armors, with dozens of Black Group members providing firearms support – this is practically bullying.

Moreover, and most importantly, the strength of these divine beast armors is still only at the level of advanced alien beasts, so they would have a hard time facing a single special-grade alien beast, let alone being hit by the Black Group's guns and bullets.

Fortunately, two super-grade mutant beasts foolishly went to find the two Shadow Group giants, and two more super-grade mutant beasts foolishly came to find Xia Qianmeng.

"Good day! It's been a long time since I've stretched my muscles."

As they spoke, the two burly men each attacked a top-tier mutant beast. It should be noted that their ability to use protective qi meant that their physical bodies possessed strength comparable to that of a top-tier mutant beast.

As expected, the two burly men held their own against the two top-tier mutant beasts, delivering brutal blows. Xia Qianmeng even felt sorry for the two top-tier mutant beasts, who were beaten so badly before they died.

Therefore, Xia Qianmeng decided to give the two super-powerful beasts that were attacking her a quick death, and took out two feather swords to kill them in one strike.

That's right, this is Xia Qianmeng's formidable strength; she doesn't even need to summon her armor.

Afterwards, Xia Qianmeng ignored the two top-grade alien beast crystal cores and instead kept a close eye on Xia Qianxue's fighting figure. If there was any danger, she would step in to save her.

P.S.: New book, I don't want to be an assassin anymore.
