Chapter 1431 Mother Beast
Dawn Southern Gate.
“Red Tassel.”
“Present.”
“Wen Qimo.”
“Present.”
“Molly.”
“Present.”
“Chen Lu…”
The rumbling sound of artillery came from the distance. Behind the tall inner wall, a night watchman wearing a dark red cloak was holding a list, carefully checking the names on it.
After verifying all six people before her, she put down the list and nodded:
“Let me briefly introduce myself. I’m Miao Su, former captain of the 010 squad stationed in Guangshen City, currently serving as the commander of Dawn Southern Gate’s Defense Line 5.”
Miao Su’s gaze swept across everyone as she continued, “You are all support forces transferred from other gates. The situation is tense, so I’ll keep it brief. Our defense line is responsible for the area from South Gate 2 to South Gate 7 of the inner wall. Under no circumstances can we allow any giant beast to breach the inner wall and enter the gate. Understood?”
“Understood!” everyone responded in unison.
“Most of you are at levels between ‘Sea’ and ‘Boundless’. If you encounter beasts at the ‘Klein’ level or above, or even god-level beasts, don’t engage directly. Use all your strength to stall them and buy time. As long as we gain enough time, the [Phoenix] squad or other top-tier humans can arrive to kill them.
Of course, this is assuming the situation remains under control.”
Miao Su paused for a moment. “Once the situation becomes completely uncontrollable, I believe you, as qualified night watchmen… should know what to do.”
Everyone gripped their emblems tightly, determination flashing in their eyes as they nodded firmly.
“Captain Miao, where exactly are these giant beasts coming from? Can’t we just kill them all?” someone from the crowd asked curiously.
Miao Su shook her head bitterly and pointed toward the sky. “See that [Space Gate]? At the entrance of that gate, which is at the rear of the battlefield where the gods of Great Xia and India are fighting, there are several god-level ‘mother beasts’ specially bred by the Temple of Gods. They devour the divine corpses or remains left from the battlefield and reproduce offspring at an extremely high rate.
The heavier the casualties among the Indian gods in the divine war, the faster they breed, and the higher the level of offspring they produce. These offspring try every means to break through the Dawn Southern Gate’s blockade and attack the gate or Great Xia cities behind it. This forces the gods of Great Xia to divert some of their manpower and energy to hunt down these offspring. On the divine battlefield, the disadvantage of the Indian gods is gradually reversed, forming a balance of attrition, preventing the Great Xia gods from truly gaining the upper hand…
They’ve been fighting us this way for two days and two nights.”
“They’re using human casualties to restrain the Great Xia gods’ attacks? What a disgusting tactic…” Wen Qimo frowned deeply.
“The Temple of Gods made thorough preparations for this divine war. How would they dare to invade our Great Xia territory and fight on our home ground without considerable confidence?”
“Can’t we directly destroy those few ‘mother beasts’?”
“The ‘mother beasts’ are positioned deep within the Indian gods’ territory. To kill them, we would first need to cut through all the Indian gods… which is no easy task.”
Everyone fell silent.
“To prevent Olympus from employing diversionary tactics, the Great Xia gods have left forces at other gates, already putting us at a numerical disadvantage. Our purpose is to lighten their burden. If they are Great Xia’s first line of defense, then we are the second line protecting Great Xia.” Miao Su took a deep breath.
“Everyone, to the battlefield!”
Red Tassel gripped her spear tightly and nodded firmly. Several figures simultaneously rushed out from the inner wall toward the breach in the outer wall!
The roars of giant beasts were deafening. As soon as they rushed out, they saw a giant snake repeatedly flicking its tongue, biting off a machine gun barrel embedded in a hole in the inner wall. Its cold vertical pupils locked onto the group, emitting “Klein” level energy fluctuations.
This giant snake was similar to the snake group that Red Tassel and the others encountered before entering Dawn Southern Gate, likely offspring of the same “mother beast.” The group exchanged glances and immediately charged toward the giant snake!
Among them, only Miao Su was at the “Klein” level. She took the lead, wielding a long scythe and slashing directly at the snake’s head.
Rose-colored flames wove around Red Tassel’s body like a feathered robe. She and Molly positioned themselves on either side, blocking the snake’s movement!
Wen Qimo stood his ground, opening an invisible domain. Countless black lines extended from the snake’s brow, locking its form like a cocoon. But as the giant snake twisted its body, the restraint lasted barely half a second before shattering!
At Wen Qimo’s current level, just at the peak of the “Sea” realm, the restraining effect he could have on a “Klein” level giant snake was extremely limited.
But in group combat, even half a second of pause could provide significant opportunity.
As the giant snake gradually retreated under Miao Su’s swinging scythe, a spear tip wrapped in rose fire precisely struck its vital point. The snake howled in pain, its thick tail suddenly whipping toward Red Tassel’s face!
Clang—!!
A broad blade like a shield firmly blocked in front of Red Tassel. The blade vibrated at a special frequency, deflecting the snake tail’s enormous force while sending a counter-shock that momentarily paralyzed the giant snake!
Molly grunted, crimson blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
In that brief moment of paralysis, Miao Su fiercely swung her sharp scythe. A flash of moonlight passed, slicing off most of the giant snake’s head.
Several attacks swarmed in, quickly tearing the snake’s body to pieces, completely extinguishing its life.
“Are you alright?” Red Tassel supported Molly’s staggering form, asking with concern.
“I’m fine… just a minor injury,” Molly waved slightly.
After killing one giant snake, before they could celebrate, two more bull-like giant beasts charged into the outer wall’s crack, their enormous bodies forcibly widening the crack by nearly double!
Everyone’s expressions changed. A night watchman leaped high, looked into the distance, and exclaimed in horror:
“This is bad, there’s a large herd of beasts coming toward us from the south, including two divine beasts!”
“Damn it…” Miao Su bit her lip, her face somewhat pale as she spoke, “Everyone, do as I just said, try to buy time for the arrival of other top-tier humans…”
No one had expected this moment to come so quickly. They immediately tensed their bodies, their eyes already flashing with the resolve to die.
At that moment, a gust of wind instantly cut across the sky. Eight figures wearing black cloaks shot out from behind like swords, charging directly toward the beast herd!
“[Spirit Medium]?!” Miao Su exclaimed in shock upon seeing this. “Weren’t they already killed in battle…”
