Chapter 295 - 295 Chain Reaction
295 Chain Reaction
However, before he could kill many fierce beasts, the strong smell of blood attracted the fragile Illusionary Flame Moths.
Unfortunately, the lightsaber’s attack range was only two meters, and it was impossible to clear the Illusionary Flame Moths from 10 meters away.
So, to avoid wearing out the Invisibility Armor, he had to retreat first.
Unfortunately, his right leg was injured. To escape the Illusionary Flame Moths’ attack for the time being, he could only use up his spirit energy to flash out of the beast tide.
When he broke out of the beast tide, he immediately saw Bald Eagle in an awkward situation.
‘We can’t move freely in the beast tide with our abilities. We might as well move together.’
Lone Wolf thought of a new method and immediately rushed toward Bald Eagle’s position without hesitation.
Bang!
A loud sound was heard, and Lone Wolf’s body fell into the beast tide like a cannonball.
The intense spirit energy fluctuation instantly sent the surrounding ferocious beasts flying. Even the Scaled Apes nearby subconsciously took a few steps back.
“Go and deal with those Illusionary Flame Moths first. Leave this to me.”
After saying this, Lone Wolf turned around and charged toward the three Scaled Apes.
Hearing this, Bald Eagle immediately activated his spirit energy. Then, with a flash of white light, a majestic Magic Crystal Cannon appeared in his hand.
The modified and lightweight Magic Crystal Cannon was also a product developed by the Fifth Research Department.
Now, not only was it the size of a rifle, but its ability to fly continuously had also greatly improved.
At this moment, the Illusionary Flame Moths that reacted immediately flew in Lone Wolf’s direction.
Seeing this, a disdainful smile appeared on Bald Eagle’s face. He immediately aimed at the Illusionary Flame Moth’s flight path and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The gun’s black muzzle instantly charged up, and a light blue beam burst out.
The next moment, the light beam hit one of the Illusionary Flame Moths, and the Magic Crystal Cannon made of energy immediately exploded with great power.
The densely packed beast tide was like an anti-tank mine buried underground. The instant explosion destroyed the surrounding ferocious beasts. The moment their flesh and blood flew all over, the area around the explosion immediately cleared, leaving a vacuum zone that was several meters wide.
The indiscriminate attack, which nearly covered a five-meter radius, turned all eight Illusionary Flame Moths into powder.
When the deflagration liquid inside the Illusionary Flame Moths came into contact with the air, it immediately burned violently.
The huge fireball caused by the chain reaction enveloped a small area of the beast tide. Countless ferocious beasts were burned to ashes by the flames that were over 1,000 degrees Celsius, and they kept wailing and screaming.
Only a few Rank 5 beasts were quick enough to escape, though a few unlucky ones were severely burned.
Like a powerful blast, the fire damage indirectly killed over 100 rampaging beasts.
This greatly reduced the pressure on the City Defense Army at the back.
Bald Eagle was overjoyed to see such excellent results.
If this was replicated a few more times, would these thousands of fierce beasts not dwindle until there were none to burn?
Thinking of this, Bald Eagle quickly looked around, trying to find more Illusionary Flame Moths.
However, many of the fierce beasts had fled in all directions under the fire, and there were no longer any traces of the Illusionary Flame Moths in the surroundings.
However, this was expected. Special beasts like the Illusionary Flame Moths were rare. They were not a common sight even on a large battlefield.
Just as Bald Eagle was feeling a little regretful, a shrill cry suddenly rang out.
Shocked, he quickly looked in Lone Wolf’s direction.
After seeing that one of the Scaled Apes had been cut in half by the lightsaber, he heaved a sigh of relief.
It was obvious that the battle on Lone Wolf’s side had come to an end.
Under his relentless pursuit, the three Scaled Apes were completely helpless. Not to mention, Lone Wolf was constantly circulating his spirit energy in the beast tide.
He had easily caught up to them, and in just a minute, he had crippled one of them.
Due to the sudden appearance of the Magic Crystal Cannons and the terrifying flames, many of the beasts in the beast tide became timid.
This also made the veterans from the Hunter Bureau more willing to do what they wanted.
Working together, the three parties could take care of a Rank 5 beast in half a minute.
The rest of the City Defense Army’s members had also learned some combat experience from the short contact, and the situation was gradually improving.
Seeing that all the beasts had been stopped outside the city wall, Bald Eagle immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He turned around and cooperated with Lone Wolf, directly killing the other two Scaled Apes.
After dealing with the annoying Scaled Apes, Lone Wolf quickly had a new target.
Dozens of Rank 5 beasts and two Rank 6 beasts had appeared in the beast tide this time.
They were the Silver Soul-chasing Wolves, which were early Rank 6 beasts, and the Wind-Summoning Beast, which was in the middle of Rank 6.
The Silver Soul-chasing Wolves were the size of wild bulls. They were covered in long silver fur, and their mouths were filled with canine teeth that were more than 10 centimeters long. Their two blood-red eyes were filled with violence and bloodl.u.s.t.
Just looking at one was enough to make a person’s hair stand on end, let alone fight it.
These beasts usually just appeared on small or big battlefields.
The fact that a Rank 6 monster had appeared in the s.p.a.ce-time rift around Lushui County was enough to prove that something was wrong!
As for the Wind-summoning Beasts, they were more like monsters that only appeared in movies.
They were only the size of a cow’s calf, and they had colorful fur.
Their bodies were surrounded by a translucent smoke, and they resembled lynxes on the Blue Planet.
However, the Wind-summoning Beasts were more bloodthirsty and cruel. Their tails were like long ribbons that swayed behind their bodies.
The Wind-summoning Beasts had two ways of attacking.
Melee fighters utilized cat-like claw attacks, pouncing bites, and tearing.
The long-range attackers could easily summon wind blades and pierce through equipment that contained spirit energy.
If it were not for the seven or eight veterans from the beast-hunting bureau trying their best to hold them back, the Wind-summoning Beasts would have easily topple Lushui County’s city walls.
However, this was not a long-term solution. Those veterans only had the strength of six stars . Even if they cooperated well with each other, it would be difficult to block the attacks of the Wind-summoning Beasts and the Silver Soul-chasing Wolves.
Therefore, seeing that the pressure on the city guards had been greatly reduced, Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf immediately redirected their spirit energy and moved closer to the two Rank 6 beasts .
The Silver Soul-chasing Wolves were extremely fast, and their three white afterimages condensed from spirit energy forced several veterans of the Hunter Bureau into a dangerous situation.
Just as the few of them planned to risk their lives to keep the Silver Soul-chasing Silver Wolves there, Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf arrived.
The place was already 100 meters away from the main battlefield. A couple of cultivators from the Hunter Bureau had deliberately sealed it off.
This was to prevent further damage to the City Defense Army.
However, they were still not strong enough. Even if the six of them were to deal with the Silver Soul-chasing Wolves, they still could not kill them.
“You guys, go and help the others. Leave this to the two of us.”
Bald Eagle appeared in front of them with the Magic Crystal Cannon, while Lone Wolf had already activated his armor’s stealth effect on the way there to catch the Silver Soul-chasing Wolves by surprise.
The situation was changing, and the earlier they could get rid of these beasts, the more uncertain factors they would remove. At that time, they would be able to spare some energy to deal with the Wind-summoning Beasts.
