Kevin's performance made everyone present look at him with new respect. Though he lacked combat experience, he wasn't too bad in critical moments.

"Not bad, kid. I'll help you out."

As Xiu Yi spoke, the engine of the war vehicle roared. True to the title of the first disciple of Revenge Shadow Rider, at a young age he could perform a rapid leap forward—a highly difficult maneuver. The heavily armored vehicle almost flew as it instantly collided with the Long-tailed Beast, as fast as thunder and lightning.

Boom, crash...

The physical toll was immense. Under the intense impact of the vehicle weighing tens of tons, even the massive body of the Long-tailed Beast was thrown dozens of meters away after the collision.

Xiu Yi's situation was even worse. Despite being inside the vehicle, his relatively weak body was far from able to withstand such a fierce impact.

The first thing he heard by his ear was a muffled noise. His senses numbed instantly, his dizzy brain only felt blurrier as he saw countless double images, then his vision went completely dark, and he plunged into a brief paralysis.

"Hey! Kid, are you okay?"

Kevin could clearly see everything inside the vehicle. Without hesitation, he opened the door, sat in the co-pilot's seat, and struggled to control the war vehicle to move away from the spot temporarily.

After a brief adjustment, Red Ghost, now well-prepared, launched another surprise attack on the Long-tailed Beast.

This time she had the experience and roughly understood the base strength of the bounty target—about an S-rank. It was indeed too much for this imperfectly equipped team, but it wasn't impossible to fight.

"Xixi, get the paralyzing gun ready to assist me." Considering Xixi's limited accuracy, Red Ghost didn't fully expect a precise hit and said, "Prepare a few more."

"Mhm."

Xixi responded and immediately started searching through her large bag and assembling. Her hands moved swiftly—adjusting, loading, and switching off the safety—and in just over ten seconds, she had the half-meter tall anesthesia injector ready and waiting, a terrifying dose.

As Red Ghost quickly approached, Xixi's index finger pulled the trigger simultaneously, hiss... Her petite frame was momentarily pushed back half a step by the recoil.

Luckily, the Long-tailed Beast in a rigid state gave Xixi plenty of time to aim, and her first shot hit, the injection needle successfully penetrating the flesh.

At the same moment, the military spike in Red Ghost's hand also plunged deep into the monster's hide, and she went on with a snicker, hiss...

A small split appeared on the Long-tailed Beast's body, blood pouring out...

Not far from the battlefield, Xiu Yi, suddenly regaining consciousness, felt a pang of pain all through his body, feeling as if his bones were scattered and his whole body powerless.

And the reason he had acted that way was out of sheer necessity, knowing that the ordinary Gatling Cannon had a very limited effect on the Long-tailed Beast, and without thinking of something quickly, that kid was likely going to be done for. Having no other choice, Xiu Yi had to make the tough exchange.

Just as he was regaining bodily control, that damn Kevin harshly slapped him, "Kid, you finally woke up."

"Ow, it hurts like hell!" It was a near-death experience for Xiu Yi, who immediately struck Kevin on the head violently.

"Hey, why hit me? But kid, you are tough to survive such an impact without a scratch."

"You wish me dead, trying to monopolize Sister Xixi? Let me tell you, Sister Xixi belongs to Brother Feng. You better watch your steps in the future."

'Pretentious kid, for Xixi's sake, I won't take it up with you.' Kevin, rubbing his head, complained inwardly.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Are you calling me a pretentious kid in your mind?" Xiu Yi coldly stared at Kevin, as if he had seen right through him.

Kevin, as if seeing a ghost, waved his hands rapidly and burst into laughter, denying it. He was terrified at the thought that the kid could guess his thoughts.

However, compared to these issues, resolving the current battle was more urgent. Xiu Yi did not want to waste his insight on such an idiot. After briefly observing, he had already roughly seen that Sister Red Ghost's attack, though effective, was very strenuous. Therefore, the dagger Brother Feng gave him came in handy at this moment.

"Kevin, you drive the war vehicle to assist everyone."

Xiu Yi quickly jumped out of the vehicle and rushed into the fray. Although his combat skills were not as good as Red Ghost's, they were far above Xixi and Kevin's. With three jumps and two leaps, Xiu Yi's agile figure was fast approaching the Long-tailed Beast...

"Xiu Yi, aren't you...?"

"No time to explain, Sister Red Ghost, take this." Looking at the glittering cold dagger, Xiu Yi hesitated for a moment, but still tossed the dagger toward Red Ghost without delay...

The dagger was a weapon given by Brother Feng, and Xiu Yi did not want anyone else to touch it, including Red Ghost. But, the life of a comrade-in-arms was above all, a creed once instilled in him by Brother Feng, so despite his reluctance, Xiu Yi did not hesitate too much. He knew the dagger would have its greatest effect in the hands of Sister Red Ghost.

"Sister Xixi."

Upon hearing this, Xixi intuitively tossed the injector to Xiu Yi, clearly understanding that long-range shooting was Xiu Yi's forte.

After catching the anesthesia gun and briefly aiming, Xiu Yi pulled the trigger, hitting the transformed Long-tailed Beast exactly in the head. Once hit there, even with strong defenses, it would temporarily lose the ability to fight back.

Meanwhile, the nimble Xixi had already prepared a new dose of the drug.

And under the continuous motion of Red Ghost's military knife, the Long-tailed Beast's hide was no longer as hard as before. She seemed to be slicing through tofu, swish, swish...

Amidst the unrestrained motion, Red Ghost looked like a humanoid harvester, her movements light yet not devoid of elegance.
