Chapter 305: Chapter 95: Launch! _1
Each day was filled with routine observations of Demon City followed by hunts nearby to score points. That was Wen Yu’s life over the course of a week.
Although his life was unremarkable, this constant feeling of growing stronger captivated Wen Yu, and he found himself helplessly engrossed in it!
His past life’s experiences had taught him more than just how an ordinary person should act and what mentality to adopt upon entering the apocalypse; more importantly, they had revealed to him the ultimate law of survival!
Strength is the rule, and might makes right!
And now, nothing thrilled Wen Yu more than watching himself and his soul pets grow stronger day by day.
"So, the military really came through this time," Wen Yu murmured.
After this simple sentiment, Wen Yu mounted Star and flew straight towards the surrounded military squad in the distance.
These warriors... he would save them if he could.
The military offers a peach, and I return a plum. That’s what a transaction is, and it’s fundamental to good cooperation between both sides!
...
Day or night, in the outpost treasure land, Wen Yu was quietly eating while sitting on the ground.
Although the ground was littered with the corpses and blood of Bipedal Lizards, it didn’t affect Wen Yu’s appetite in the slightest.
Besides, if you talked about appetite to a guy munching on a high-protein energy bar that tasted like rubber, he would probably spit in your face.
This was merely to replenish energy.
It was Cyclops and Star who truly enjoyed the meal.
Over the course of the week, Wen Yu had extensively drawn upon Cyclops’s and Star’s "snacks." Relying on these low-level magic crystals and the massive number of points provided by Faceless, he had exchanged them for a large quantity of Level 4 beast attribute magic crystals to enhance Star’s and Cyclops’s strength.
Regarding which attribute of magic crystal the pair should consume, Wen Yu, choosing between fire attribute and beast attribute, still selected beast attribute magic crystals.
The primary combat methods of the two beasts still focused on close-quarters combat. Although both possessed fire attribute skills, these merely provided them with an additional attack option.
He then briefly inquired about the physical condition of the two beasts.
Cyclops’s physical fitness had risen to around 350 points, and Star’s was even approaching 400 points.
His plan was to wait until both beasts reached Peak Level 4 before they attempted the promotion trials. Judging by their current speed, it wouldn’t take long!
Just as Wen Yu was considering how to allocate the points he had on hand, the communicator in his pocket suddenly vibrated!
Wen Yu’s heart suddenly tightened.
The communicator continued to vibrate for several seconds without stopping, which meant the signal being transmitted was of the highest alert level!
And in the outpost treasure land, the highest alert level could only mean one thing!
Quickly pulling out the communicator, Wen Yu connected the call with Kuangliu.
"What happened?"
On the other end, Kuangliu’s deep voice sounded.
"They’re on the move... And not only that..."
...
Ten minutes earlier, within Demon City.
A demon spawn, perched high on the head of a Peak Level 5 Balu Monster, casually cast Fog of War. This restored the gradually thinning mist to its original density. Then, it addressed a Soot Skin Demon Fiend beside it.
"Are you ready?"
The Soot Skin Demon Fiend humbly nodded its head.
"Everything is in place, My Lord."
The demon spawn nodded in satisfaction, then turned its head to look at Demon City, enveloped by the Fog of War.
In the demon spawn’s view, innumerable Balu Monsters, each about 50 meters in length, were quietly crouched in Demon City. They were so numerous that they filled the entire fog-covered area! Some had even climbed onto the heads of other Balu Monsters, stacking up like a human pyramid, forming a towering Pyramid constructed of Balu Monsters!
The number was incalculable, and all of them were Level 5 Balu Monsters!
In the very center of these Balu Monsters, a 30-meter high cylindrical object was being carried by a Level 5 Balu Monster!
It was the Devil Qi Matrix!
Seeing this scene, the demon spawn nodded approvingly.
These were the Level 5 Balu Monsters that had poured out from the "Black Hole" in just one week!
As for those below Level 4, the demon spawn had already sent them out to die!
After observing the city filled with the army of Level 5 Balu Monsters, the demon spawn looked towards the huge pit located in front of the Demon Realm’s Gate!
The pit’s diameter was nearly one hundred meters and its depth unfathomable. Level 4 Balu Monsters constantly crawled up and down within it.
"Well then, let the operation begin!"
With the demon spawn’s sinister laughter, the entire Demon City seemed to spring to life in an instant, and the endless GROANS of the Balu Monsters filled the air!
...
Group Giant Strength Technique (A-Class, Active Ability): Upon activation, grants all units within range the Giant Strength effect, boosting stamina and strength by 30%! Duration: ten minutes!
Group Swiftness Technique (A-Class, Active Ability): Upon activation, grants all units within range the Swiftness effect, increasing speed by 30%! Duration: ten minutes!
Group Stone Skin Technique (A-Class, Active Ability): Upon activation, grants all units within range the Stone Skin effect, enhancing the target unit’s defense capabilities. Duration: ten minutes!
With a wave of the demon spawn’s hand, these three group enhancement abilities were cast upon almost all the Balu Monsters in Demon City. Then, this terrifying army moved...
...
A thick, slippery tongue shot straight at a drone hovering outside Demon City. Such small, delicate mechanical creations couldn’t withstand the attack of a Level 5 Balu Monster and was instantly shot down!
But before being shot down, the drone faithfully transmitted the last information it saw to the Strategic Command Center of the outpost!
Countless Level 5 Balu Monsters, in a stacked formation, erupted crazily from Demon City. In their center was a 30-meter high black cylinder, the eerie patterns on it constantly flashing with light.
It turned out that the Demon Qi Shield Generator could indeed be moved. The military had been able to discover this, and naturally, the Demon Fiends knew it even better!
"Fire the missiles! All of them! Hit them right on their heads!" Fang Wenhai immediately shouted upon seeing this.
However, these Demon Fiends were not all...
"Commander... Commander, this is bad! Large numbers of Bipedal Lizards have suddenly burrowed up from the ground at the edge of the encirclement—all Level 4..."
The communications soldier’s voice grew fainter and fainter. Clearly, even he realized what a devastating blow the sudden appearance of high-level Bipedal Lizards on the front lines would deal to the warriors!
