Chapter 223: Bombarding Fierce Beasts
This was equivalent to having a powerful control-type pet beast by their side out of thin air. This undoubtedly greatly increased their combat ability.
Very quickly, the South City Wall was covered with Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vines. There were blood-colored vines everywhere. Some of the vines directly climbed onto the city wall.
The beautiful blood-colored flowers swayed with the wind. The blood-colored powder fused into the air, and the air was filled with a sweet smell.
The surrounding air was dyed a pale pink.
“Mommy, look, the flowers on the city wall are so beautiful.”
A little girl pointed at the blood-red flowers blooming on the South City Wall of Mita City and said.
“Hide quickly.”
A Black-Gold Armored Spider jumped into the city. Before it could start its slaughter, it was killed by the Gold-tier pet beast in the air.
After all, there were very few fish that escaped the net.
Mita City’s military had long-term experience in resisting the beast tide. They had long guessed that the beast might invade the city.
In the city, they had also set up a Gold-tier flight-type beast defense.
In addition, at every commanding point in the city, there were well-trained sharpshooters in the military who held sniper rifles and killed the beasts accurately.
Although the power of the energy guns was limited, they were still confident that they could hit the eyes of the Fierce Beasts and other vital parts within three shots.
When the branches of the Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vine spread all over the south wall, the Black-Gold Armored Spiders that jumped onto the city wall were unlucky.
It was true that the Black-Gold Armored Spiders were good at jumping, but they didn’t have the ability to turn in the air.
Their landing spots were all predictable.
In addition to the intentional cooperation of the Gold-tier Beast Masters, the Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vine could easily tie down one Black-Gold Armored Spider after another.
The Gold-tier Beast Masters who partic.i.p.ated in the defense quickly reduced the casualty rate with a single blow with their divine pets.
Seeing this situation, James couldn’t help but say to Elisa in delight, “Your Emergency Response Team is really full of talents.”
Lugh blew up a Black-Gold Armored Spiders with one punch and took a look at the city wall.
Below the city wall, there were Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vines everywhere. They formed a vine h.e.l.l and spread to a distance of 200 meters away from the city wall.
The Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vines had a mythical-level talent — the Whisper of the Earth.
They could pa.s.s through the soil at will, and their branches would more or less inherit the part of the mother.
They could also burrow into the ground, but they could not do it as naturally as the mother. They needed to consume a certain amount of energy.
Therefore, the Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vines under the city wall all burrowed into the ground and only stretched out their vines.
If the Black-Gold Armored Spiders wanted to jump out of the city wall, they would first have to face the dense vine h.e.l.l.
Half of the Black-Gold Armored Spiders had not even had the time to jump before they were directly entangled by countless vines.
Even if the Black-Gold Armored Spiders were extremely st.u.r.dy, they could still be strangled to death once the number of vines was sufficient.
Lugh’s ears were filled with the sound of a system notification.
[Ding! Your Divine Pet, Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vine, has been upgraded to Mid-Tier Gold.]
[Ding! Your Divine Pet, Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly, has been upgraded to High-Tier Silver.]
The number of Black-Gold Armored Spiders decreased, and a portion of them began to bypa.s.s Mita City.
However, the Beast Masters partic.i.p.ating in the defense weren’t too happy about it.
The tremors on the city walls were getting more and more serious.
Lugh and the others were waving their sticks after they stood up, as if they were standing on a ship.
However, Mita City’s city walls were very st.u.r.dy. Even with such tremors, they didn’t collapse.
All the residents of Mita City could feel the tremors, as if an earthquake was about to happen.
The citizens of Mita City looked towards the south of the city with worry in their eyes.
The civilians who had evacuated from outside Mita City and lived in the streets could only hug their families and huddle in the corners of the streets, praying for the defenders of Mita City, hoping that they could successfully resist the beast tide.
At this moment, Lugh received a notification from the system mission:
[Ding! Mission announcement: Block the Rock Armor Rhinoceroses and defend Mita City.]
[Mission reward: Pet beasts partic.i.p.ating in the defensive battle will receive a talent upgrade. Pet Beasts without a talent upgrade will receive a matching normal talent.]
Lugh turned around to take a look. His Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly was very safe, lying quietly beside Elisa.
On the entire south wall, the five Platinum-tier Beast Masters were the safest.
Thus, Lugh shamelessly placed the weakest Rainbow-Colored Glazed Psychedelic b.u.t.terfly behind Elisa. During the battle, Elisa was also paying attention to protecting it.
Over a thousand Rock Armor Rhinoceroses appeared.
The ones charging at the front were all adult Rock Armor Rhinoceroses.
Each Rock Armor Rhinoceroses were four meters tall, and their bodies were covered in grayish-black rocks.
The rocks were like armor, covering their bodies layer by layer, revealing pairs of black eyes.
With every step they took, the ground would shake.
The Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vines on the city walls began to crawl. One by one, they jumped down from the high city walls. After smashing into the ground, their bodies began to burrow into the ground.
The blood-colored vines in front of Mita City clearly grew denser.
Although there were still Beast Masters who couldn’t bear to part with them, when they noticed their actions, they shut their mouths.
Looking at the Rock Armor Rhinoceroses charging at them, Elisa said with a grave expression, “After the bombardment, get rid of the beasts in the front row first. We can’t let them charge into the city walls. It’ll be hard for our city walls to block them.”
The other four spread-out Beast Masters nodded in agreement.
Without this city wall, it would be hard for their Platinum-tier Beast Masters to get rid of the Rock Armor Rhinoceroses if they were to enter the city.
Minta City had evacuated all the poor people from the subsidiary safety zone into the city. The outer city was extremely densely populated, and it would be difficult for powerful Platinum-tier Beast Masters like them to do anything in the city.
Elisa looked at the dense blood-colored vines on the ground and asked Lugh, “Can your Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vine hold them back?”
“It should be able to hold back a portion of them.”
Lugh didn’t dare to boast.
The Bloodthirsty h.e.l.l Vine didn’t have the Strength talent of the Berserk Bear.
Elisa said, “Try your best to hold them back!”
“Alright!”
Mita City’s Deputy Guardian, Cook, ordered loudly, “Everyone, prepare the energy cannons!”
The moment the Rock Armor Rhinoceroses entered the firing range, Cook ordered the cannons to fire.
Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A violent explosion occurred in the entire group of Rock Armor Rhinoceroses.
Amidst the explosion, Lugh’s ears were ringing.
In the explosion, the heavy Rock Armor Rhinoceroses were blown three to four meters away.
Some of the Rock Armor Rhinoceroses that were close to the explosion range were directly killed.
More of the Rock Armor Rhinoceroses were either blown up by the airwaves or their rock armors were shattered. However, they quickly got up.
They continued to charge towards the city wall.
The energy cannons of Mita City were lucky enough to blow up three or four Rock Armor Rhinoceroses.
If they were unlucky, they would only blow up one or two of them.
The Rock Armor Rhinoceroses were different from the Black-Gold Armored Spiders.
The Black-Gold Armored Spiders were smaller in size and moved faster. When they ran together, they stood quite closely together.
However, due to the huge size of the Rock Armor Rhinoceroses, each of them was at least three to four meters away from each other. In addition to the hard armor on their bodies, the result of the energy cannon bombardment… Was far inferior to the result of the energy cannon bombardment on the Black-Gold Armored Spiders.
However, the energy cannon was not completely ineffective.
At least 70 Rock Armor Rhinoceroses were killed by the explosion, causing the charging speed of the entire group of Rock Armor Rhinoceroses to fall.
“It’s our turn.”
James took the lead and sat on the Azure Eagle. He immediately mounted three Platinum-tier pet beasts and placed them in front of the group of Rock Armor Rhinoceroses. There was a hint of sadness in his eyes. “Stop them for me.”
At the same time, the four Platinum-tier experts of the Emergency Response Team also released their Platinum-tier pet beasts on the ground.
The city walls of Mita City could not collapse.
This was because the next ones to escape from Orvis Mountain were Silver, Bronze, and Black Iron-tier beasts.
The beasts on Orvis Mountain rampaged from the inside out.
The beasts that lived within Orvis Mountain were the first to be attacked by the Amethyst Rhinoceros. They were the strongest and the fastest to escape.
That was why they were the first to escape from Orvis Mountain. For example, the Azure Eagles.
The ones who were affected by the fear and began to flee were the low-level beasts on the outskirts of Orvis Mountain.
They were definitely not as fast as Platinum-tier and Gold-tier Fierce Beasts.
As such, they were all left behind, with the largest number of beasts.
After a long, bitter battle, the five Platinum-tier Beast Masters had either lost, injured, or expended a lot of their pet beasts. It was impossible for them to fend off all the low-level beasts behind them.
