"Damn it!"
"I knew it wouldn't be that easy if it didn't kill it."
Xu Tao looked regretful, but this was within his expectations.
The Overlord wasn't stupid. Even after being lured onto the artillery's firing path, it wouldn't foolishly stand still and take the hit.
As long as it had been injured, Lei Xiao's shot hadn't been wasted.
That was right.
Suan Yu was injured.
Its back had been torn open by the high-energy light stream. The wound was long and wide, the flesh inside cooked through, and even part of its spine had been damaged.

From here on, the task of dealing with the Overlord would be handed over to the Special Attack Team.
Under Wang Chong's orders, a special unit created specifically to deal with the Overlord left the base and rushed toward the battlefield.
As for the Upper-tier Giant Beasts brought by Suan Yu, the base's Mecha Squad would handle them.
Soon, light and flames soared outside Youmugu Valley, and an intense battle began.
While everyone was focused on the battle outside the valley, a line of readings appeared one after another on an instrument in an inconspicuous corner.
These were readings of seismic waves. Judging from the values, relatively mild tremors were occurring underground.
Since the tremors weren't strong, the instrument didn't trigger an alarm. Moreover, everyone's attention was currently drawn to the giant beasts outside the valley, so no one noticed the instrument.
After a while, the seismic readings had doubled, soon reaching the warning threshold.
Finally, the instrument began emitting a series of beeps.
Only after quite some time did a nearby staff member notice the abnormality. He hurried over, operated the keyboard for a while,
