Obviously, the old man had rarely taken action in recent years, which made Hu Wen, Lang Yun, and the others have some unpleasant speculations in their hearts.
But now, feeling the genuine four-star combat power displayed by the old man.
The previous doubts naturally dissipated like smoke!
As for ordinary Hunting Captains like Hu Yueshan and Luo Wang, there was no need to mention them.
Their strongest was only at a three-star top level.
Facing the twisted gray mist cluster formed by the Ghost Demons, they could only feel that the ghost energy radiation emitted by the cluster, condensed into a tangible gray mist, was extremely discomforting.
Besides, under the almost frenzied battle intent stirred by Su Yu, they didn’t feel much fear.
And when the Administrator showed strength and activated prosthetic armor.
Apart from the fear, they were also motivated by the old man’s displayed strength, immediately following the Administrator, preparing to jump off the watchtower to support Su Yu in intercepting the Ghost Demon cluster.
But at this moment, Lang Yun couldn’t help but speak up.
"Administrator, and everyone... after all, this is a Ghost Demon cluster, shouldn’t we send someone to inquire first, in case it’s the Ghost Tribe, and there’s some misunderstanding with us?"
Lang Yun’s tone was filled with unmistakable tension and fear.
Before he joined Shelter No. 73, he lived in another small settlement, which was his real hometown.
However, that settlement was ultimately destroyed by the Ghost Tribe, and only he managed to escape, and since then, the Ghost Tribe had become his nightmare. Now encountering a Ghost Demon cluster likely related to the Ghost Tribe.
Lang Yun’s nightmare resurfaced, making his heart beat rapidly, unable to muster any battle intent!
And sensing Lang Yun’s fear, the other Hunting Captains also hesitated a bit.
Making the Administrator couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
But, Lang Yun was also a four-star Transcendent, though an Extraordinary Physical Body, he remained critical combat power at this moment.
If he hesitated, it would undoubtedly heavily impact the upcoming battle!
As the Administrator quickly thought about how to alleviate Lang Yun’s fear and persuade him.
Below the watchtower.
Su Yu, who had already jumped off the watchtower and was outside the Sanctuary gate, quietly spoke up!
"Captain Lang, don’t you think it’s too late to be afraid now?"
"If you were really afraid of the Ghost Tribe, Li He had always had close ties with them, why didn’t you simply lead your Wolf Pack Team into Li He’s camp instead of waiting until now or even previously cooperating with us against the Night Slayer Team?"
"Why were you not afraid back then that Li He might win or simply mess things up and join forces with the Ghost Tribe for revenge?"
Hearing Su Yu’s unabashedly mocking words.
The Administrator’s expression slightly changed, worrying that Su Yu’s words might backfire and anger Lang Yun.
With the enemy at the gates, this wasn’t the time for internal strife!
Indeed, Lang Yun’s reaction was as worried.
After Su Yu finished speaking, his face turned unsightly, seemingly about to get angry, but the next moment, Su Yu’s words choked his anger back down!
"Moreover, Captain Lang, since you fear the Ghost Tribe so much, you should be aware of their tactics."
"Do you think, if the Ghost Tribe truly intends to target our Sanctuary, they’ll listen to us if we send someone now?"
Looking past Lang Yun at Hu Yueshan, Hu Wen, Luo Xuan, and the others, his voice was calm: "The rest of the captains should think about it too, do you think we still have a retreat at this point? Or do you think we can turn and flee now, escaping the ever-approaching Ghost Demon cluster’s pursuit speed?"
Hearing Su Yu’s piercing words.
Lang Yun and the other Hunting Captains, initially cowed by the Ghost Tribe’s reputation, took a deep breath.
One by one, looking at the advancing Ghost Demon cluster, despite the fear still lingering in their eyes, there was now a resoluteness born from desperation!
Especially Lang Yun, in addition to determination in his eyes, there was an unabashed hatred: "Mr. Su is right, before... I overthought it!"
"At this point, never mind if it’s likely the Night Slayer’s doing! Even if the Ghost Tribe genuinely comes to kill us, so what!? They’ve attacked our doorstep! Shouldn’t we dare to fight them!?"
Lang Yun said, with a low shout, he was the first to jump off the watchtower, arriving at Su Yu’s side as quickly as possible!
"Mr. Su, next, it’ll be up to you and the Administrator to command me, for I, Lang Yun, and our Wolf Pack’s combatants above two stars, will follow your orders to the letter! No questions asked!"
With Lang Yun speaking up.
The remaining Hunting Captains, whose eyes still held doubt, now thoroughly dispelled it, one by one following Lang Yun to stand behind Su Yu, eyes blazing with fire at the ever-nearing Ghost Demon cluster!
The Administrator witnessed this process, his eyes becoming increasingly bright looking at Su Yu!
"This old bag of bones, when nearing death, actually got lucky!"
The old man shook his head with a sigh, then lightly stepped forward.
The muscular old man clad in prosthetic armor crashed to the ground, standing beside Su Yu. Every one of them looked at the nearing Ghost Demon cluster, eyes burning with boundless battle spirit!
