Chapter 256: Is There a Deserter?!
Could it be that the Electromagnetic Cannon missed?
Not at all.
The projectile that struck the alligator extraordinary beast shattered a group of extraordinary beasts at the rear of the beast tide.
One side of the alligator extraordinary beast’s head now bore a noticeable dent, with bones exposed beneath its Biological Armor.
Several of its eyes had popped out of their sockets due to the increased cranial pressure from the massive impact, leaving it with only one blood-red eyeball remaining.
This undoubtedly caused it immense pain, and after a deafening roar, the Giant Beast continued its relentless charge forward.
The remains of the last Fourth Level Extraordinary Beast still lay on the other side of Hope City, in the wilderness.
The skeleton of the Giant Snake was headless, and over the past month or two, its body had gradually decayed, leaving behind only a pale, massive skeleton.
That time, the Electromagnetic Cannon had struck the snake’s head directly, shattering it upon impact.
But this time was different.
The alligator extraordinary beast was naturally more resilient than the previous Giant Snake, and its low posture on the ground prevented the projectile from striking vertically.
Despite the odds, the alligator extraordinary beast endured the devastating blow, but its companions were not so fortunate.
The thunderous roar of the Electromagnetic Cannon acted like a signal flare; on the city wall, chaos erupted as countless unfortunate souls fell under the relentless rain of bullets.
The entire beast tide entered its final assault phase as the leading alligator began its charge.
The Third Level Avian Creatures took to the skies, beginning to threaten those on the city wall from above.
A vast number of insect-like extraordinary beasts and cannon fodder animal extraordinary beasts began to pair up, preparing to scale the walls based on their previous experiences.
Fulan and her companions walked at the rear of the group, and just then, a fast-moving projectile grazed past the “Elder,” nearly taking off one of its heads.
Fulan sensed something peculiar about the situation; it seemed that the heads of the extraordinary beasts in her team were always under a vague threat.
This projectile startled the extraordinary beasts, causing them to seek refuge behind the leader of the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult.
Fulan’s small frame bore too much weight at that moment, but she still seized the opportunity to communicate through the Mental Network:
“Did you see that? This is the power of human weapons. Even a glancing blow from such a weapon can cause catastrophic damage.
“With such weapons, human victory is inevitable. You wouldn’t want to make enemies of such formidable beings, would you?”
The two guardians and one elder nodded in agreement, feeling they had indeed made the right choice by joining the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult.
However, even more shocking events unfolded before their eyes.
“What is happening…”
Countless insect-like extraordinary beasts ahead suddenly changed direction, moving closer to the low-level extraordinary beasts they would normally ignore.
Then, they burrowed beneath those extraordinary beasts, driving their sharp claws and legs into their bodies.
The excruciating pain drove these low-level extraordinary beasts into a frenzy; unable to think, they could only press forward, launching a desperate assault toward the city wall.
Among these Green Cocoon extraordinary beasts, the strongest, aside from Fulan, were the three wolves she had once defeated.
Not far away, the three wolves were struggling against the control of an extraordinary beast resembling a mantis.
Compared to other low-level extraordinary beasts, they seemed not only more spirited but also more sensitive to pain, refusing to accept such a manipulated fate.
Just as the battle between the three wolves and the mantis extraordinary beast was about to begin, one of the wolf’s heads suddenly turned and spotted Fulan and the other extraordinary beasts hiding far behind, watching the spectacle.
It quickly abandoned the fight and ran toward Fulan.
“Big silly wolf, what are you doing?!”
Fulan instinctively felt something was wrong and sent a soul-piercing question.
The mantis followed closely behind, and upon seeing Fulan and the others hesitating, it raised its head and hissed. Then dozens of insect-like extraordinary beasts turned to look in this direction, beginning to slowly surround Fulan.
At the moment when most extraordinary beasts began to charge, a small area at the tail end of the beast tide erupted into a small-scale battle.
Fear instinctively showed in Fulan’s eyes, but she quickly realized that this battle might not be as difficult to win as she had imagined.
Although the swarm of insects outnumbered the Green Cocoon Extraordinary Beasts by seven or eight times, the most formidable one was only the mantis wielding "Double Blades."
It seemed to be looking for a capable host, which is why it had its sights set on the three wolves, while the other insect-like extraordinary beasts appeared intimidating but were actually just ordinary Second Level beings…
This battle was undoubtedly a great opportunity to establish authority!
Thinking of this, Fulan shouted both in the Mental Network and in reality:
“I will hold off the strongest one; you handle the rest.”
Fulan wasn’t sure if her command was correct, just hoping there would still be one or two companions behind her when she turned around…
With the command given, Fulan’s aura finally became unhidden, and she leaped into the air, stunning the surrounding extraordinary beasts—Second Level!
What amazed the beasts even more followed; Fulan transformed in midair into a mass of descending chaos, and from that chaotic shadow leaped forth a Humanoid Armor!
Having had experience with a disguise helmet, Fulan was able to completely mimic Wang Xiao’s armor, although the internal structure and strength would clearly be different.
This vast change in size was a significant drain on Fulan.
But she had no other choice and could only resolve the current crisis in this way.
So at this moment, who was piloting this armor?
Naturally, it was Lin Qingliu, who had just received information through blood transmission.
The armored figure landed, delivering a punch to the mantis’s left "face" before it could react. The mantis’s massive compound eye exploded, sending colorful juices flying everywhere.
The intense pain caused the mantis to rapidly swing its Double Blades, engendering a chaotic battle with the Humanoid Armor, while behind them, the remaining extraordinary beasts instinctively began to resist the other insects.
The entire Humanoid Armor seemed to transform into a Combat Expert in an instant, wildly battling with the mantis, relying on the strength of its outer shell and its Double Blades.
The sounds of chitinous outer shells colliding with metal echoed continuously in the small battlefield.
This battle appeared evenly matched at first, but soon the armor found its opportunity. As the Double Blades pierced the mantis’s outer shell, one hand grabbed the connection point between the mantis’s head and chest.
This area, similar to a neck, was the thinnest part of the mantis’s whole body. The armor squeezed with all its strength and then yanked upward, directly yanking the mantis’s head off.
Ignoring the discomfort from its body being pierced, the armor raised one hand high, and the mantis extraordinary beast’s head flew toward the rear of the battlefield.
