Chapter 356: Chapter 350: Sky Hegemon (5000 Words ga Chapter)_2
“I guess there must be sothing enveloping the exterior of the Floating Airship, just not sure if it would stop soone from falling off.”
Yang Wei couldn’t be certain and was unwilling to test it himself, still tightly gripping the railing, his hands turning sowhat red.
The others also slowly approached, their faces filled with amazent.
“I wonder how fast the Floating Airship can fly, whether we’ll have a chance to visit other Sanctuaries… uh, as tourists.”
“You’re thinking too much. How could a strategic-level weapon like this be used casually for passenger transport?”
“Hey, look over there, such a huge Demonized Beast… f*ck, it’s flying this way!”
This Demonized Beast had enormous fleshly wings, its body covered in brown hair like steel needles, and its sinister red vertical pupils turned their way, causing Yang Wei and the others to have goosebumps, their blood feeling as if it froze.
With a single flap of its wings, it was able to cover dozens of ters, its ferocious form becoming increasingly clearer in the eyes of Yang Wei and the others.
Swoosh—
A thin beam of light gradually disappeared in the sky.
The oppressive presence dissipated, and Yang Wei gazed in shock to see the brown-haired Demonized Beast with fleshly wings now had a bowl-sized bloody hole in its head, completely piercing through. The wings flapped a couple of tis out of inertia, and its massive body plumted toward the ground under the force of gravity.
Yang Wei turned to look at the beam cannon mounted on the ship’s tower, which was on their side, where its light was slowly fading away.
There were over a dozen beam cannons like this one that he could see on the tower.
He let out a sigh of relief.
However, at that mont, the beeping of an alarm sounded.
…
The alarm atop the ship’s tower flashed a blinding red light.
The voice of the airship’s intelligent machinery reported throughout every corner, “Imminent encounter with a swarm of Flying Demonized Beasts detected, number of enemies over a thousand; imminent encounter with…”
The ssage was broadcast three tis in a row.
Chen Haiping’s face was solemn.
From his position, his perspective differed from Kevin’s. Whether the Floating Airship could successfully take to the skies wasn’t the key issue; only by withstanding the oncoming Demonized Beasts could the airship’s value be proven.
Long-distance travel across territories.
In the distance, a dark cloud-like swarm of Flying Demonized Beasts ca into view.
Their numbers might not compare to the ground’s Demon Tide, but the high-flying Demonized Beasts were not of low level. They flew incredibly fast, and faced with such, even fighter jet formations could only helplessly evade. Once Demonized Beasts closed in and surrounded them, the destruction of both planes and personnel was the inevitable outco.
Mid-to-high-level Flying Demonized Beasts could effortlessly break the sound barrier with a flap of their wings, even surpassing the speed of fighter jets. As the dominators of the skies, the Advanced Flying Demonized Beasts were far more agile; human fighter planes were rely one of their prey.
In a few breaths, the Dark swarm of Flying Demonized Beasts was rely a kiloter away from the Floating Airship.
Chen Haiping, with Concentration, gazed into the distance, his palms soaked with sweat from his tight grip.
At five hundred ters, the Demonized Beasts’ crimson eyes and ferocious faces were clearly visible.
They had wings like dragonflies, the front half of their bodies dark green, and only a pair of forelimbs. The black curved claws glistened with blood, brownish-red stains that had dried and caked on the black claws, a testant to their fearso reputation.
The back half of their bodies was flesh-colored, and their bellies bulged rhythmically like beating hearts, contracting, with a tail ending in a thick black stinger like that of a bee, which made one’s hair stand on end.
At that mont,
A few creatures significantly larger than the rest of the group flapped their thin wings, accelerating as they broke away from the swarm.
“Red-bellied Demon Bees! There are so many!”
Three hundred ters.
The frontmost Red-bellied Demon Bees slightly closed their thin wings, their terrifying presence already enveloping the area.
Two hundred ters.
Their two black forelimbs began to stretch out, revealing a chilling sharpness.
Chen Haiping held his breath, his hand unconsciously reaching for the hilt of his blade, his eyes seemingly locked with the sinister crimson eyes of the Demon Bees.
One hundred ters.
In a flash,
Several white beams shot out from under the front side of the Floating Airship, from the exposed beam cannon muzzles.
Concentrated particles of energy pierced through layer upon layer of air, and in a fraction of a second, the Red-bellied Demon Bees, pouncing in their attack posture, were frozen in mid-air, their inflated bellies breached, spilling out their red and green intestines and innards, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Not far in the sky, the energy particles ford a faint line, like a dotted white mark that slowly dissipated in the air.
Gurgle.
Chen Haiping slightly relaxed his grip, but his eyes widened again.
The remaining swarm of Red-bellied Demon Bees was already close!
One hundred ters.
…
Fifty ters.
…
Twenty ters.
…
Ten ters.
The stench hit their noses.
His hand gripped the hilt of his blade again, slowly pulling it upward.
Suddenly,
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The pouncing Red-bellied Demon Bees appeared to hit an invisible barrier.
Beyond the iron railing, one mysterious rune after another erged, connecting to form a transparent but indestructible thin film. The sharp black curved claws of the Demon Bees tore at it, their bellies inflated, their tail stingers thrust forcefully, but the transparent Shield showed not even the slightest ripple.
Chen Haiping breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Wei and the other novices collapsed on the ground, breathless.
Below the Floating Airship, the beam cannons on the ship’s tower fired incessantly, creating a spectacle of interlacing white lines.
Tang Yu stepped out from the control room, his right palm facing upward, holding a light sphere composed of various runes which hovered a few centiters above his hand.
