Chapter 154: Chapter 147: Murderous Intent Under the Mist_2
…..
“Left side, there are corpses and Giant Macrophage Dogs, get the crossbows ready.”
At the periter wall, both the patrol and the search team had joined the guards’ ranks, and the Ancient Tree Crystals had been laid out by them, creating a fog dispersal area which extended two hundred ters from the exterior wall.
Therefore, when the monsters realized there were people active in the camp and rushed to attack, the team mbers quickly detected the traces of the monsters.
“Whoosh, whoosh”
The monsters attacked in groups of four or five, moving extrely fast and even more fiercely.
“Old Cui, take the two on the left.”
The middle-aged man wearing glasses aid with his hand crossbow and shot a corpse steadily, the crossbow arrow piercing through and hitting the shoulder of another corpse behind it.
He cracked a smile, “Two birds with one arrow, let’s have another.”
The first corpse had its head blown off, but not the second. The crossbow was re-strung, and then the second arrow was shot, killing another corpse.
His teammate beside him perford a similar action, the crossbow arrow piercing through the body of a Giant Macrophage Dog. However, since the Giant Macrophage Dog’s vitality was much stronger, it continued to charge forward.
It wasn’t until after another arrow was fired that they successfully killed it, and the remaining monsters were likewise dispatched by the guards.
Seeing the monsters taken down, the squad leader Lu Bijng said to Old Cui, “Ring the bell, and let the Tree-born Worms co to clean up the monsters.”
“Okay.”
Old Cui had a bell hanging around his waist, its clapper wrapped in sothing that muted its sound, but after unwrapping it, he tapped the bell on the ground, producing a strange ringing noise.
The rest of the guards were not surprised; this was how they summoned the Tree-born Worms with sound.
Before long, a low rumble ca from the ground, and the experienced Old Cui and his team knew that the Tree-born Worms had arrived.
Outside the iron fence at the intersection, two Tree-born Worms burst out from the bare soil beside them and squird towards the bodies of the monsters.
The bare soil was where the street trees used to be; the spot was not sealed with concrete, and the pavent bricks had been pushed up, revealing a hole that served as a passage for the Tree-born Worms.
Whether it was after killing monsters or from their own hunting patrols, these spots were their main passageways.
“They’re really quick,” said Old Cui under his breath, with a hint of admiration.
“If these things were to ambush us, we’d be in big trouble.”
Who could defend against an attack from the underground, especially when it was so unpredictable?
Lu Bijng spoke up in a raspy voice, “At least we don’t need to worry; the leader’s Ancient Tree roots control the underground, most monsters are no match.”
“That’s true. I heard from the ‘elders’ that these worms were originally restrained by the Ancient Tree vines before being devoured…”
“Cut the gossip.”
Lu Bijng interrupted the younger mber’s words, nonchalantly adding, “Watch the outside; the fog is thickening, and according to Miss Bai’s predictions, there’ll likely be even more monsters.”
The fact that Su Han could Fuse was not a big secret to everyone; of course, they all simply thought it was Devour.
However, the veteran Lu Bijng, who was mature and composed, did not want to engage in so much gossip, especially not about the leader.
If the leader was strong, then the camp would be safe, and everyone could survive.
Instead of gossiping, it was better to focus on how to accumulate Contribution Value.
Old Cui adjusted his glasses, even though the lenses were no longer there. After his constitution was strengthened, his myopia had actually improved; it was just a habit to wear them.
“You young lad don’t understand. Kill more monsters, accumulate more Contribution Value. Wouldn’t it be better to exchange it for an injection? Don’t you want to improve?”
Among them, both Lu Bijng and Old Cui were First-level Interdiate, but after exchanging for injections, they were gradually transforming and approaching High Grade.
The young man nad Zhao Yi had ford a Contract later and owned an Eye Beast, still only First Order Inferior.
Zhao Yi laughed, “I want the injection, but I’m also thinking of exchanging for sothing else to give away.”
Understanding passed through Old Cui’s smile, “Being sentintal, eh? Planning to give it to a girl?”
“Growl… growl”
At that mont, an Eye Beast nearby suddenly stood up, uttering a deep growl.
Zhao Yi’s expression changed, and everyone imdiately turned cautious, looking towards the outside, and gripping their weapons tightly.
“What’s going on?”
“`
“It seems there’s sothing.”
“`
In the midst of the mist, sounds gradually erged, and several people held their breath and watched intently as the Angel Envoys stood closely by their side, right at the edge of the wall.
A deep roar sounded, and a red figure appeared at the edge of the fog, nearly four ters tall and six ters long, with pitch-black pupils radiating an indifferent glow; it was unmistakably a blood-red giant wolf.
“Awooo”
The giant wolf lifted its head and howled, then a large number of red figures appeared behind it: blood-colored flesh corpses, blood-red giant rats, blood-colored crawlers…
There were at least seven or eight kinds of monsters, and although they were all familiar from everyday encounters, this blood-red form with pitch-black pupils emitted an icy, terrifying feeling.
“It’s a Chang Beast, at least First Order Upper Grade, call for people.”
Lu Bijng reacted quickly, imdiately instructing Zhao Yi to transmit the ssage, and Old Cui had started ringing the bell to summon the Tree-born Worms.
Whether it’s a patrol team or a search team, there must be two procedures for calling people.
Within the range of the Tree-born Worms, one must ring the bell and soone must also imdiately send a ssage, to complent each other and to prevent any problems.
Upon receiving the command, Zhao Yi didn’t hesitate at all; he swiftly mounted the Eye Beast and leaped down from the wall to the inside, quickly moving towards Sumr Garden Avenue.
There’s no need to reach Sumr Garden Avenue; as long as he encounters a patrolling group and asks for help, the task is considered complete.
There were still four guards left, and the horde of blood-colored Chang Beasts was already launching their attack.
They rushed over with large strides, and a hundred ters was but a few breaths away; in the blink of an eye, they ca right up to the iron wall.
“Thud Thud Thud”
Heavy impacts imdiately followed, and Lu Bijng and the three others, standing on the iron corridor inside the wall, could clearly feel the heavy vibrations.
“Damn it, it’s a good thing the leader reinforced the iron gate.”
An entire section across the street, sticking to the wall at seven ters high, the thickness had also been increased to 4 centiters; ordinary monsters could not break through it at all.
“Swoosh Swoosh”
Lu Bijng and Old Cui released crossbow arrows from their hands, accurately piercing the heads of two blood-colored flesh corpses.
The crossbow arrows penetrated with one lethal shot, and the dead blood-colored flesh corpses fell to the ground and gradually turned into a bloody mush under the trampling of the monsters, rather than leaving behind a body.
Lu Bijng’s scalp tingled, and a chill ran down his back. Not even leaving behind a corpse, turning instead into a bloody ss, these monsters were sowhat hair-raising.
“Roar”
The monsters continued to roar, and so slightly taller blood-colored Giant Macrophage Dogs leapt high, reaching the edge of the wall.
Tall Angel Envoy flesh corpses held long spears and thrust them down, assisting Lu Bijng and the others in defense.
Crossbow arrows were shot one after another; more and more Chang Beasts died, but as they gathered, Lu Bijng could also see the scale of their numbers.
“Damn it, almost two or three hundred; where did all these monsters co from?”
“Awooo”
As they spoke, the blood-red giant wolf began to move, charging at them with an extrely fierce speed.
Old Cui’s face changed, and he said, “Careful, the First Order Upper Grade is moving.”
Even if a First Order Upper Grade monster might not be able to destroy the iron wall, its jumping ability and size ant it could likely jump over to attack.
And they, relying solely on the weapons in their hands, might not be up to the task.
True to form, with the blood-red giant wolf’s charge, it leaped high, its sharp claws striking the edge of the wall with a clang, the vibration causing Lu Bijng’s legs to feel faintly numb.
“Bring the city defense crossbow over here, don’t worry about the other monsters.”
Lu Bijng steeled his heart, the other monsters could pile up but it didn’t matter, they might not break through, but this blood-red giant wolf couldn’t be ignored.
Old Cui and Lu Bijng sprang into action imdiately, tossing their hand crossbows aside and running to the city defense crossbow, and with no more suppression, the Chang Beasts launched an even fiercer attack.
The entire iron wall was struck, making banging noises, like the beating of drums.
Old Cui and another loaded crossbow arrows, aid at the giant wolf, and with a whooshing sound, pierced through its body.
“Done”
They breathed a sigh of relief, but at that mont, heavy hoofbeats ca from within the mist, revealing a blood-colored bull monster.
