Chapter 9: Squad 1023

This squad gave off a strange vibe. Two people in black robes walked in the middle of the group. One of them, completely covered in a black robe, moved with an unnaturally stiff upper body, and his legs seemed to be straight as he walked.

The other person in black robes walked like a normal person, but when Qian Xing shifted his gaze to the ground, he was shocked! Because, wherever this person walked, a series of claw marks were left behind!

This person's feet were actually a pair of sharp claws covered in green scales!

There were four long, sharp claws at the front and one short, thick claw at the back, resembling the footprint of some animal.

The person at the front had green eyes and a high nose, carrying a nearly two-meter-long double-handed sword on his shoulder, dressed in a tight robe like a commoner, with a bloodthirsty look in his eyes.

The person behind him had a pained expression, but his arms were so long they almost reached his calves, nearly a third longer than a normal person's!

Another person was relatively fat, carrying a stick-like object wrapped in coarse cloth on his back.

Despite being wrapped in coarse cloth, Qian Xing felt strangely familiar with that stick-like object!

However, if it was what he imagined, such a thing shouldn't exist in this ancient world!

Only the last three people were dressed in Song Dynasty clothing, but they all looked worried.

Qian Xing had practiced the Nine Yin Bone Claw, and as his skills improved, so did his keen eyesight.

From a distance, he could tell that the last three people had unsteady steps and no foundation, clearly ordinary people!

It must be them! Squad 1023!

A warrior's instinct immediately led Qian Xing to this conclusion.

Tomorrow was the deadline for his mission. Such a strange squad, neither Mongol soldiers nor Song people, must be his opponents—his task was to prevent them from killing Daba and ensure that at least three members of Squad 1023 died. He and Squad 1023 were mortal enemies!

Squad 1023's mission was definitely to kill Daba, the disciple of the Golden Wheel Dharma King, but why were they heading straight for the military camp?

After all, this was a camp with a thousand soldiers!

Either they had some kind of token to enter the camp and find Daba, or they were planning to storm the camp!

The answer soon became clear. As the eight people approached the camp, the squad of soldiers guarding the gate had already drawn their bright Mongol sabers in unison!

On the road leading to the camp, there were multiple patrol teams, but at this moment, not a single patrol member had reported back, indicating something was wrong.

Moreover, the man with the large sword and green eyes looked extremely fierce, likely an enemy!

In the Mongol army, there were many fair-haired, green-eyed people from the Western Regions, whom the Mongols called "Semu"!

The squad leader's question had barely left his mouth when the fair-haired, green-eyed man swung his giant sword, slicing a Mongol soldier, who tried to block with his saber, into four pieces, saber and all!

Enemy attack! The squad leader screamed, issuing the alarm!

As his scream echoed over the camp, a pair of hands covered in green fur, no, not hands anymore! The ten nails on the green-furred hands were over three inches long, like sharp claws, deeply digging into his chest!

Blood splattered, and the squad leader's red heart was ripped out by the green-furred hands!

"Zombie! How could it come out before sunset!"

This was the squad leader's last thought before losing consciousness.

The green-furred hands tore off the black robe, revealing the true form of the stiff-moving black-robed person—a zombie covered in green fur!

The zombie's head and face were covered in green fur, leaving only four sharp fangs exposed outside his lips.

Another black robe flew into the air, revealing a monster covered in green scales the size of bowls!

This monster was covered in layers of green scales, like a green armor.

Its head resembled a wolf's head covered in scales, with white, sharp teeth reflecting the last rays of sunlight in its open mouth!

But the most terrifying were its claws, which were forty centimeters long and could extend and retract!

After the black robe was thrown into the sky, the forty-centimeter-long claws sprang out from the monster's paws, and at the same time, black bone spines, fifty centimeters long, shot out from its elbows and shoulders.

Along its spine, a row of bone spines grew, like a row of sharp spears.

The monster's upper body looked like a hedgehog holding ten sharp short swords!

Before the black robe even hit the ground, the monster struck with both hands, shattering two Mongol sabers and the throats of two Mongol soldiers!

The remaining sentries shouted and ran into the camp!

Shouting, "Monsters! Monsters are here!"

Qian Xing had to thank the arena, where no matter what language others spoke, it sounded like standard Mandarin to him.

Thus, Qian Xing, who always failed his foreign language exams, avoided the embarrassing problem of translation!

An arm, clenched in a fist, suddenly stretched out to a distance of two and a half meters, like a powerful rubber band!

But this seemingly rubber-like arm shattered the back of a Mongol soldier's head like an egg, with red and white matter flying everywhere!

The one who struck was the pained-looking man with the long-armed gait.

Seeing the four members of Squad 1023 display such formidable strength, Qian Xing felt a bitter taste in his mouth.

Fortunately, the fat man carrying the long stick only took out an ordinary iron sword and started slashing at the Mongol soldiers, and his sword and footwork were no better than Qian Xing's!

However, before the stick-like object on his back was revealed, Qian Xing dared not remove this fat man from the list of dangerous individuals!

The three ordinary-looking people at the back of the group also took out the iron swords provided by the system and made some gestures, but they hid behind the five people in front, adopting defensive postures and not daring to step forward.

After observing their movements, Qian Xing determined that their sword techniques were very ordinary, and only the middle one was slightly stronger than a normal person!

These three must be newbies like himself.

Qian Xing immediately determined his attack target!
