An invisible halo silently enveloped the entire base.
Soon, everyone felt a difference, as if their hands had become longer.
Upon this occurrence, someone recalled the mysterious characters floating in the air during Lin Yu's recent sacrifice, and immediately realized this was the effect of the long-range halo.
"So that's how it is, his sacrifice of the beast was to use the long-range halo."
"I was just complaining about our insufficient attack range, now it's directly increased by 70%, which is truly outrageous."
"That's not even the outrageous part. Look at Lin Yu's clone count, that's what's truly absurd."
"Yeah, two thousand clones. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a hundred thousand one day."
"Impossible, two thousand clones is already too much. If he could truly split into a hundred thousand, even a god couldn't do that."
"Besides, Lin Yu's talent level should be SS class now. The next transformation would be after becoming a god, and besides, can he even become a god?"
"Blue Star does not permit gods, no one can become a god unless Blue Star undergoes a great change, but we might not live to see that day."
"Alright, alright, there's no point discussing this. Now that our attack range is sufficient, the anger bottled up inside me can finally be released."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
With arrogant laughter, they condensed their energy and hurled their signature skills at the beast army.
Three hundred meters ahead of a group of beasts, foxes stood upright. These foxes had sly faces and cunning eyes.
As they appeared, they chanted incantations, bestowing various buffs upon the entire army.
Strength Augmentation!
Ring of Slowing!
Agility Augmentation!
Under the coverage of the large group of foxes' skills, most of the beasts' abilities were enhanced by ten percent.
Feeling the change, many beasts cheered.
"Haha, with the buffs from the Auxiliary Fox tribe, our strength has increased by ten percent, our speed by ten percent, and our attacks now have a ten percent slowing effect. Humanity is finished!"
"Soldiers, let's press our advantage and take the human base!"
"Roar roar roar roar~"
The beast army's morale soared, and they brandished their limbs, unleashing even more powerful skills.
Many beast generals watched with smiles, looking relaxed.
When they looked towards the human direction, they exchanged glances and sneered disdainfully.
How could mere humans withstand our beast army?
"Kill!"
Roar!
The beasts roared in unison, unleashing skills and charging towards the human base.
However, the next moment, something happened that defied all expectations.
"Ah! How is this possible!"
"How can the human attack range be so far?"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
They panicked, screaming and fleeing in disarray.
In the sky, countless beams of skill light, drawing beautiful arcs, descended upon the beast army.
Rumble!!!
Countless skills exploded, like vibrant flowers blooming in the center of the chaotic battlefield.
Many beasts hadn't even unleashed their skills before their rear ranks detonated. This terrified them.
That was their rear rank, even their longest-range species didn't have such an extended reach.
Boom!
More beams of skill light, like meteors, streaked across the sky and landed on their heads.
"Defend, quick, defend!"
But it was too late. The humans' ultra-long-range skills, suddenly falling into their midst, shocked the beasts, leaving them momentarily unable to react.
By the time they reacted, the humans had already bombarded their entire army.
Boom!
Skills exploded again, countless beasts were dismembered, some even disintegrated into fragments.
The beast army descended into chaos, with countless beasts perishing.
Lin Yu stood within the base, his calm expression momentarily stunned, then revealing unconcealed joy.
"You assisted in killing Three-Tailed Alligator (Tier 7), Upgrade Points +100."
"You assisted in killing Ice-Fire Swallow (Tier 8), Upgrade Points +100."
"You assisted in killing Rock-Tail Snake (Tier 6), Upgrade Points +1."
"You assisted..."
System prompts continuously sounded in Lin Yu's mind, but soon he became puzzled.
Because all beasts of Tier 6 and above awarded 100 upgrade points, while those below Tier 7 only gave 1 upgrade point.
"System, what is the reason for this?" Lin Yu asked silently in his mind.
After a moment, the system replied:
"Host, according to the rules for assisted kills, targets of the same tier or stronger than you uniformly award 100 upgrade points, while those weaker than you only award 1 upgrade point."
"I see!"
Although the amount wasn't much, the quantity was vast.
If nothing else, the number of beasts that died this time far exceeded his estimations.
Imagine a battle involving tens of millions, with a million deaths in a single engagement, it wouldn't be an exaggeration.
This surprise attack resulted in a million beast deaths and countless injuries, allowing humanity to regain some ground.
But soon the beasts reacted, unleashing skills to block attacks while retreating.
They quickly doubled their distance, and the human attacks could no longer reach them.
After their retreat, the beast commanders stared from afar at the triumphant humans, their faces ashen.
Long Qinglan roared, "A bunch of imbeciles!"
The generals lowered their heads, not daring to meet its gaze, but inwardly they all grumbled, "Wasn't this your order?"
If anyone is an imbecile, it's you, the supreme leader. We are all beneath you.
Of course, they dared not voice these thoughts, so they all concealed their expressions and bowed their heads, allowing the supreme commander to berate them.
After venting its fury for a while, Long Qinglan's temper subsided, and it spoke calmly,
"You all were too hasty. It's just a minor setback, it won't have a significant impact!"
At this moment, a beast nearby asked, "Supreme Commander, what is the plan for now?"
The minor defeat had significantly dampened the beast army's morale, and continuing the fight would be disadvantageous.
Long Qinglan clearly understood this. After a long period of contemplation, it said, "Rest for a few days, send small squads to bypass and attack the human heartland. Bring the map!"
Another beast immediately handed over the map, saying, "Supreme Commander, the map!"
It took the map, opened it, and pointed to a mountain, saying,
"This is the dividing line between Guixu and the human territory, and on this mountain, there is a great obstacle. Long Yan, you explain!"
Long Yan, the seventh elder of the Flood Dragon tribe, a powerful Tier 9 fire-elemental Flood Dragon, pointed to the map and spoke eloquently.
"This is an academy called Supreme Academy, and it is the first line of defense for humanity's base in Guixu."
"However, the entire academy only has two people. The academy's dean is a Tier 9 swordsman who arrogantly claims to be a Sword God."
"Humans have always been prone to boasting. The louder their reputation, the weaker they often are. If this person does not appear, so be it. If he dares to appear, I will personally slay him!"
"And our objective is to bypass and attack the Supreme Academy."
"The purpose of doing this is: to lure the snake out of its hole!"
