1221: Chapter 1207: Desperate Situation 1221: Chapter 1207: Desperate Situation “Die!”
The Giant, roaring, lifted two shield-like door panels and charged fiercely toward the beast swarm.
“Boom!”
After a successful collision, he swung again fiercely, and the beasts disintegrated in mid-air, turning into a spray of flesh.
Even though he hadn’t been on the front lines for a long ti, “Fishing and Hunting” was still a job that involved fighting against the ocean and fierce beasts, and Long Xike still hadn’t forgotten the basic fighting instincts and skills.
Only…
“Bang!”
A fireball, coming out of nowhere, exploded on the “Shield”, and the next mont, it turned into a pile of rubble.
This shield, resembling a door panel, was actually the village stonemason’s door panel.
“Rumble!”
More explosions in a series went off in the hands of Long Xike as he retreated with his shield.
This ti, the explosion sent him flying directly into a nearby wall.
He spat out a mouthful of blood but still struggled to stand up.
He couldn’t understand why…
“Even though they are just Spider Monkeys, why can they control fire and explosions…”
This was sothing he and the villagers couldn’t comprehend at all.
Spider Monkeys are a kind of (short-term) floating primate with six arms, three tails, and two wings, nad mostly by a human.
This life form is a pure forest beast, with average intelligence and individual strength, even ranking low in the beast swarm’s ecological chain, the kind that would actively avoid humans, Fishn, and even the Long Hand Clan.
Now, these Spider Monkeys have banded together to attack the village.
What’s more absurd, their fighting incorporated tactics and coordination, and even included mutated species that could control fire…
This felt like if Earth’s wild dogs not only gained intelligence but could also throw fireballs.
In front of Long Xike, two large mutated Spider Monkeys blocked him, while the “Casters” at the back took the opportunity to attack everywhere.
This feeling of being targeted by a war formation reminded him of the past, the days when he was still training…
“If the Captain saw these mutated creatures, he would probably be very pleased, and he’d want us to capture them alive…”
But now, it seed not the ti to think about such things.
As the village’s top expert, he had unwittingly fallen into the encirclent of these beasts.
On the walls, rooftops, and treetops, everywhere were monkey faces, laughing, pointing, and making faces at him, mocking the doom that awaited him.
And these beasts, which normally should feed primarily on Fruit, now mostly had blood-stained mouths.
The bits of at by their mouths, and the shards of fabric they played with and fought over, made Long Xike feel even more enraged…
and powerless.
“If I hadn’t had these years of inactivity…”
Once considered a “Hercules” by his peers, he was now just a down-and-out brute swinging around stone stools and doors, but facing those blood-thirsty gazes, he still fervently patted his chest, roaring back unafraid.
“Brother Long!”
“We’re here to help you!”
At that mont, Wang Rui and Tao Song also arrived.
One wielding a long-handled Single Blade, the other holding a rusty short spear and Shield…
these weapons, not used for many years, had been buried in the back mountains.
But they were still much better than ordinary “farming tools”!
“Catch it!”
When they couldn’t make it through, Wang Rui clenched her teeth and tossed the weapon into mid-air…
and her husband, suddenly activating his Abnormal Ability, leapt up and grabbed it in his hand.
As the thrown iron shield landed in his hands, Long Xike spun on the spot, performing a simple yet effective Great Tornado, driving back the monkeys that were too close.
This was a standard weapon from the War Group, and though the “Enchantnt” as a quasi-Contaminated weapon had completely faded with ti, the sword and shield, made of Extraordinary materials, were still reliably of high quality.
“Boom!”
This ti, the fireball was blocked, and Long Xike was only pushed back, not blown away.
Finally, he had a chance to see the mutant creature that had been ambushing him…
It was a gray spider monkey, mingling within the swarm of monkeys, indistinguishable from the others.
In fact, it seed overly thin due to its young age.
Only those faintly silver-glowing beast pupils seed too rational, belonging to a being with high intelligence…
“That’s the Beast King!
Kill it!”
Instantly, the Trio’s spirits were revitalized.
From their experience, once the leader of the beast swarm was eliminated, the rest would naturally scatter.
The Trio assembled, with shield-bearer Long Xike at the forefront, Single Blade Wang Rui on the flanks, and the one-ard Spear Guest covering the rear.
“Kill it, and we’re done.”
When their lives were threatened, the beasts would often choose to flee rather than fight to the death, especially when sacrificing themselves for others, as they lacked the motivation for a deathmatch.
The battle formation shattered at first contact, and while the “Monkey King” frantically scread and cursed, none of his subordinates were willing to take a bullet for him, giving him ti to cast his spells…
he could only keep retreating, as if journeying alone.
The spider monkeys avoided them or lay down playing dead, making things much easier for the Trio.
Finally, they cornered the “Beast King,” just as they were about to fight to the death…
“Hee!”
“Heehee!”
“Hahahaha!”
Suddenly, the sounds of bizarre laughter surrounded them.
They turned sharply, only to discover they had unwittingly walked into the midst of the beast swarm.
Even more eerie, among the beasts in all directions, those silver-glowing beast pupils shone out one after the other.
Beast King?
They were everywhere.
No, no, this was actually just a standard feature of these mutant creatures!
As the hands of each “Beast King” ignited with flas, and with strange monkeys all around them on the high walls and rooftops, the Trio looked at each other, realizing they had fallen into a trap and there was no escape.
These cunning creatures, probably not less intelligent than humans, could also use the knowledge of the “Beast King” to lure fierce enemies into their trap.
“Gulp!”
Finally, when fingers were pointed at the Trio, fireballs lit up all around; Mada Wang closed her eyes, waiting for the mont of death!
“Rumble!”
While the explosions of the fireballs still hung in the air, Long Xike suddenly gritted his teeth and stomped the ground, staring down those attacks as he charged directly into the beast swarm.
Even if he were to die, he was determined to take a few with him to the grave…
“Gugugugu!”
But at that mont, the strange shrieking sounds suddenly violently oscillated back and forth.
These mutant spider monkeys, incredibly fast, fled to the rooftops and walls in a blink, leaving the baffled Trio behind.
Were they cowards, afraid of being swapped out by their own?
The beasts frantically fled, fearing being left behind—a familiar yet strange sight.
Had they been scared off?
Or had they suddenly reverted to their normal state?
Long Xike himself couldn’t believe this possibility, yet he had no other explanation.
But at the next mont, they all understood…
“Head of Group Lu…”
That familiar figure, identical to the one from ten years ago, which had appeared countless tis in the Trio’s dreams and mories, stood outside the village.
