Chapter 209: Chapter 198: Chaotic Situation
Zhu Xiong’s spiritual energy bomb directly inflicted severe injuries on the unsuspecting fallen, killing one Angel Envoy and injuring another, even Zhu Xiong himself lost half an arm.
Erging from the blast, the fallen Lv Daxiao could hardly see the team from Tree Domain anymore.
“Damn it!”
An angry roar erupted from Lv Daxiao as he glared in the direction where Zhu Xiong had fled, his body’s serious injuries and psychological damage preventing him from pursuing.
Moreover, by this ti, a large number of monsters had already swept over, not too far away from him.
The thick sll of blood drew the attention of so monsters, their nacing eyes already fixed on him.
This is bad!
Lv Daxiao instantly realized the danger and hurriedly led the Angel Envoys in a swift retreat.
While their bodies as monsters allowed them to avoid other monsters’ attacks to so extent, or even redirect so, it didn’t an they were immune to monster attacks under any circumstances.
….
Coincidentally, it wasn’t just Zhu Xiong’s team that was attacked by groups of monsters, but also the teams of Gan Xinglei and Guo Gang.
A massive tide of beasts swept into the ruins around the Third Hospital, launching an attack on Gan Xinglei.
Unlike Zhu Xiong’s area, they were not as good at concealing themselves and were discovered by the Sky Cavalry as soon as they initiated the attack.
After they entered the Second Ring Zone, they imdiately engaged in fierce combat with a Parasitic Corpse Willow.
The monsters kept coming in waves, thousands of them nearly engulfing the entire ruins, but the Parasitic Corpse Willow fought ferociously, its roots, willow branches, and corpse parasites continuously attacking and slaying one monster after another until their own demise.
The hidden fallen attempted to assassinate Gan Xinglei, and two of them rushed out at once.
Two monster-like fallen, along with four fiercely shaped Angel Envoys, were practically intent on killing Gan Xinglei.
However, Gan Xinglei was already near the Third Hospital’s base. Once the wave of monsters began, Xia Ning received the news and imdiately ca to the rescue.
In terms of Second Order strength, Gan Xinglei’s side outnumbered them, making it unlikely for the fallen to capture them.
Even with the interference of thousands of monsters, the entanglent by the Parasitic Corpse Willow made it impossible for the large number of monsters to properly encircle them.
By the ti Gan Xinglei counter-attacked and killed a fallen, then led everyone to break through the siege, the casualties were not significant.
Three warriors died, and Xia Ning was lightly injured by a Second-grade Giant Crawler from the swarm of monsters.
On Guo Gang’s side too, he sustained a collision injury. As the beasts surged in groups, attacking with South City No.2 Middle School as the pivot, Guo Du’s group fought valiantly, breaking the monsters’ charge to rescue Guo Gang.
Guo Gang reacted quickly, relying on the ntal shock from the one-eyed giant monster to interrupt the fallen’s attack, and incited a beast riot, at the cost of seven to eight Chang Beasts, covering his subordinates’ safe retreat.
All three teams encountered attacks, and although the losses were not significant, the situation within the Second Ring Area had already descended into chaos.
The monsters spread out from their gathering spots, particularly centering around the Third Hospital, zoo, and South City No.2 Middle School, with the numbers continually increasing into tens of thousands.
“The number of monsters around the Third Hospital is gathering more and more, and their target is still the dinsional space rift.”
As soon as the combat erupted and continuous deaths began at the Third Hospital’s Parasitic Corpse Willow, Su Han was already inford, and along with others like Zhu Xiong, had quickly retreated back to the Second Ring Zone through the subway tunnels.
Guo Gang did the sa, but only Gan Xinglei knew not to abandon the Third Hospital, and he, along with Xia Ning’s forces, began a joint defense, resisting the monster attacks.
“Now that the Second Ring Zone is still not sealed, if we don’t deal with it quickly, they might find a way to draw in more monsters from the outer circle.”
“Then let’s get to work, seal it off well, and we won’t have to worry about monsters rushing in.”
If it is not sealed at all, then the monsters can roam anyti, making it extrely difficult to clear them out.
But now, with the hidden monsters all flushed out, killing them off and clearing the buildings will be much simpler.
Moreover, this ti we have driven out quite a few riff-raff along with the hidden fallen among the buildings.
“Treat the wounded, everyone else gather, et at the Third Hospital.”
“Yes”
Su Han imdiately gave the order, his gaze calm. Zhu Xiong, Ye Kailing, and others imdiately got up and quickly left the Sumr Garden Mall.
“I should go too, there’s definitely more than these fallen.”
Bai Qilan volunteered, and Su Han was taken aback, nodded and said, “Stay by my side.”
The team had just returned from combat and barely needed any additional preparation. Everyone was imdiately ready, and the base construction team also changed into full plate armor, holding weapons in hand.
Over thirteen hundred people, their pitch-black armor rattling, all their gazes afla.
“Depart”
At Su Han’s command, Zhu Xiong imdiately led the people from the subway tunnel towards the Third Hospital.
A shadow swept across the sky. The Blood-winged Alligator Dragon descended. Su Han jumped on with Bai Qilan.
The Mother Nest Ancient Tree transford into its anthropomorphic state, then vines spread out from its arms, connecting with the four claws of the Blood-winged Alligator Dragon, which soared into the sky carrying it directly toward the Third Hospital.
The Blood-winged Alligator Dragon was extrely fast and soon arrived around the ruins of the Third Hospital.
Looking down, amid the scorched ruins and the empty, pitch-black collapsed buildings, a large number of monsters surged on the streets, including blood-red flesh corpses, twisted crawlers, shell-coated Cockroach Scythe Monsters, giant split-mouth spiders, groups of Tentacle-faced Monsters, and more…
One could say all sorts of monsters had erged, their roars ceaseless to the ear, turning the entire ruins into a hell swarming with countless demons.
So monsters, amidst howling, bit off the heads of other monsters next to them and then shoved aside weaker creatures in front of them, rushing towards the Third Hospital.
Ordinarily, these monsters might have fought each other for the proliferation of their species and continuously evolved, but after the rift in the alternate space appeared, the richer spiritual energy gave them a unified target of contention, not to ntion that in this area, the biggest threat to their species was actually the Tree Domain.
Under the deliberate guidance of the fallen ones, the monsters gathered here and launched an attack like a ferocious tide.
Su Han watched calmly, seated atop the Blood-winged Alligator Dragon as it swiftly swept over the ruins to reach the Third Hospital.
The towering walls, the product of the construction team, were seven ters high and two ters thick, with warriors continuously launching attacks with crossbow arrows at the swarming monsters from atop them.
“Watch those large monsters, get the city defense crossbows ready, and ensure Second-order Angel Envoys do not let them reach the wall top.”
Gan Xinglei was commanding with a stern expression and sharp eyes, surrounded by the Tree Shield Tyrant whose arms turned to vines, constantly swinging to knock down monsters attempting to climb the wall.
The Bonestead Rat Demon was also defending a section of the wall alone, its large, bone-spiked hands continuously killing the climbing monsters.
Xia Ning and Zhang Xinxin were also organizing the defense on top of the wall. Clad in plate armor, they continually attacked with a hand crossbow in one hand, while Angel Envoys launched attacks simultaneously.
An unending flow of monsters assaulted the wall, so stacking over each other, or using the advantage of their huge size trying to scale it directly.
But the ordered combat of the defending warriors repeatedly killed them, their carcasses falling off.
Blood flowed in streams, dying vast tracts of land red, the thick sll of blood almost covering the burnt sll above the ruins.
“Roar!”
Several Second-grade Monsters from within the monster wave roared as they charged toward the wall, towering five ters tall, rely needing one leap to potentially scale the wall.
At that mont, however, a shadow swept over the entire battlefield.
“It’s the leader!”
Cheers erupted, everyone saw the silhouette of the Blood-winged Alligator Dragon, and instantly felt relieved.
With the lord here, the battle was assuredly under control.
“Kill those monsters!”
Soone shouted, their movents becoming even more fierce. Just as a crawler climbed the wall, it t a burly man clad in armor who thrust a long spear at it, pushing it down.
The Blood-winged Alligator Dragon tossed the Mother Nest Ancient Tree down, instantly crushing several unlucky monsters as it landed in the midst of innurable ones.
“Roar!”
Monsters originally headed for the wall suddenly changed direction and attacked the Mother Nest Ancient Tree.
In an instant, a dark cloud overwheld the city, completely surrounding the Mother Nest Ancient Tree. Twisted bodies collided together, and sharp claws in the lee even grabbed other monsters.
All the monsters rushed over as if mad, completely falling into frenzy.
The Mother Nest Ancient Tree’s vine arms suddenly spread, branching into countless sharp ends that instantly shot out, piercing through the monsters encircling it; blood-colored vines began to spread through the pierced monsters that didn’t even fall down, but died standing.
Several exceptionally strong vines suddenly lit up, enhanced with the Skill of Light and Shadow Blade.
The vines swept horizontally at half a person’s height, with light and shadow flickering, and the neat sounds of puncturing were heard.
Within dozens of ters, whether First Rank or Second Order monsters, they all paused in their actions, then their torsos began to slide off, blood spurting out, as the ground beca a grisly mix of the Blood River and severed limbs.
rely one strike had already cleaved hundreds of monsters into halves, and only then did the Mother Nest Ancient Tree revert from its anthropomorphic state, its shape exploding, and vines bursting forth, turning in a blink of an eye into a colossal entity over a hundred ters tall, standing mightily on the battlefield.
“Roar!”
A majestic roar emanated from the face of the tree, as an endless horde of monsters also launched another group attack at this ti.
They charged en masse, but at that mont, suddenly there was a disturbance among the monster group.
Nurous monsters fell to the ground, convulsing all over, their spines contorting and bulging, with sounds of bursting as vines broke out from their bodies, and several dark red Parasitic Corpse Willows rose from the ground under the stir of the Mother Nest Ancient Tree, growing into monsters five to six ters tall.
Blood-red willow branches and vines constantly spread, grabbing the monsters around them, entwining continuously.
In just a mont, it resembled a change of ho field, within a range of several hundred ters.
The Mother Nest Ancient Tree, Corpse Willows, and Tree-born Worms erging continuously from the ground, had turned this area into a blood-thirsty thicket, binding and killing hundreds to thousands of monsters.
Monsters kept surging from the streets, but the present vine and monster-ford defense line was so impregnable.
Su Han descended from the Blood-winged Alligator Dragon onto the wall, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield, then in a calm voice that reached everyone’s ears, “Counterattack!”
