Boom boom boom--
Thick, long black tentacles rose from the ground.
The buildings in the city center were all entangled by tentacles and instantly turned into ruins.
The warriors guarding the city heard the commotion behind them, turned around, and were all stunned.
More than a dozen tentacles, each a hundred meters long, swung incessantly, severing all buildings within a hundred-meter radius in half.
"The intensity is starting to increase."
"This boss is at least an S-rank."
"That garrison commander must have been halfway there, why hasn't he arrived yet?"
"Great, Giant Overlord is now as short as a little brother."
"Don't be discouraged, Giant Overlord Brother. Being small is actually quite cute too."
"It's bloomed, hasn't it? It bursts right into existence from the center of the ground, is this something to play with?"
"..."
The clones complained wildly, unanimously agreeing that this shouldn't be the level of difficulty expected in the beginner's village.
The city lord's face was ashen. "SS-rank."
He couldn't help but smile wryly.
My thinking was so naive.
Do you think you can hold back the Tide with just the city's resources?
wishful thinking.
Qin Ze frowned.
Sure enough, the Tide can't keep releasing only rotten fish and shrimp.
This single high-level beast is enough to sweep through the entire Jiang City.
"Look at the sky!"
The Dharma King's voice rang out on the Local Area Network.
Qin Ze looked up.
The five vortexes in the sky are gradually shrinking, and the curtain of light projected onto the ground is disappearing, which means the Tide has ended.
But the warriors defending the city weren't particularly happy.
The five vortexes are disappearing and no longer release strange beasts.
But there are still hundreds of thousands of strange beasts outside the city.
Not to mention, there's a boss wreaking havoc underground in the city.
Ultimately, this Tide could not be contained.
Bang--
The ground in the city center suddenly caved in, and a giant octopus head emerged from it.
At the same time, countless tiny octopuses flew out of the pit, forming a vast expanse that blotted out the sky.
These small octopuses are an average of one meter long, and each one has the strength of Level One Martial Artist.
Tens of thousands of tiny octopuses coalesced in the sky into a black tide, pressing down on the city wall.
Suddenly, the defending warriors were attacked from both sides, and their defensive positions became precarious once again.
"Die, all of you!"
The Dharma King unleashed his full power.
A violent current swept towards the octopus swarm.
The little octopus began to fall the moment it came into contact with the electric current.
Unfortunately, their numbers were simply too great, more than ten times the number of flying beasts in the sky, and the Dharma King's attack was merely a drop in the ocean.
The anti-aircraft guns on the city wall fired wildly, creating a dense barrage of bullets in the sky.
But it only lasted a few seconds before the swarm of octopuses broke through.
These octopuses had a very clear objective: to attack the anti-aircraft positions and the locations of the city's defensive artillery first.
As cannons were destroyed one by one, the monsters charged onto the city walls once more.
With the city's defensive firepower significantly weakened, nothing could stop them this time.
Niu Zhida's face turned pale. "We can't hold on."
Some of the city's defenders could no longer maintain their composure, dropping their weapons and fleeing down the city walls, immediately triggering a chain reaction.
With large sections of the city wall undefended, more and more strange beasts charged up.
The clones quickly filled the gaps, delaying the fall of the city.
Brother Devour slapped the beast that had climbed onto the wall to death and said calmly, "Step back, I'm about to make my move."
Niu Zhida was stunned.
At this point, is it still necessary to continue making futile struggles?
Brother Devour took off his suit jacket and threw it to Niuniu.
"This is my favorite piece, don't get it dirty."
Leaving this section of the city wall to his clone, Brother Devour strode towards the octopus swarm.
Niu Zhida stared at Brother Devour figure and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you... afraid of dying?"
As a mercenary merchant who had traveled all over the country for many years, he had never seen anyone disregard life and death like this.
Brother Devour waved his hand dismissively.
We have nowhere to retreat.
"Some things, ultimately, need to be done by someone."
Niu Zhida was stunned.
My feelings are more complicated than ever before.
Something seemed about to burst forth from its eyes.
"Keep my jacket safe for me; I'll come back for it after I win."
Brother Devour suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the location of the Dharma King.
Niu Zhida and took a deep breath.
He turned to face the endless horde of beasts, his bloodshot eyes blazing with renewed fury.
"You've finally arrived! I'm almost out of energy."
The Dharma King in the sky was slightly out of breath.
Brother Devour tossed him a piece of blood crystal, which the Dharma King caught and quickly absorbed.
Watching the octopus swarm launch a frenzied counterattack, Brother Devour's lips curled into a smile.
"It's time for the Dark Night Lion King to perform."
The Brother Devour's body rapidly expanded, dozens of arms extended from his body, and a Abyss maw opened up in his abdomen.
Dozens of fists were unleashed simultaneously, Brother Devour's head, blasting any small octopuses that approached into dust.
"Roar--"
Brother Devour let out a roar.
Its abyssal Abyss opened wide, taking a deep breath upwards.
Hundreds of tiny octopuses fell uncontrollably and were swallowed by the gaping maw of the Abyss.
"Hiccup~"
"The taste is really bad."
After absorbing the blood crystal, the Dharma King once again soared into the air and unleashed a smooth five-hit combo with his whip.
"Your Dharma King is back again!"
Several meters high piles of strange beast corpses had already accumulated at the city gate.
But the strange beasts outside continued to pour in frantically.
boom--
With a loud bang, a heavily injured level one clone self-destructed, taking two unfortunate creatures with it.
Of the more than one hundred clones that originally guarded this place, less than a third remain.
The Giant Overlord grabbed the back of the neck with his right hand, his five fingers digging into the Flesh and Blood and pulling hard, pulling out a spine more than five meters long.
Kneel down!
The spine creaked as the Giant Overlord swung it around.
Any F-class beast that is even slightly grazed will instantly explode into a cloud of blood mist.
You'd better think of something quickly.
"It's been fifteen minutes, and that dog of a garrison commander still hasn't arrived."
Giant Overlord said to Qin Ze.
"I've been thinking about it."
Qin Ze's CPU was almost smoking from overheating.
Left with no other option, Qin Ze dispelled the Shelter Space.
The swarm of octopuses instantly changed direction and flew rapidly towards him.
The giant octopus went berserk, sending out more than a dozen tentacles through the air, trying to knock Qin Ze down.
At the critical moment, Qin Ze once again activated the Source of the World.
The octopuses, large and small, turned into headless flies and then attacked the human martial artists again.
Without the presence of Hunting Beast, the alien creatures during the Tide can only detect the scent of the key outside the Shelter Space.
Qin Ze shut down the Source of the World again, and the alien beasts changed their targets.
Just as he was about to rinse his face, Qin Ze turned it off again.
This repeated process relieved some of the pressure on Brother Devour and his team.
However, after more than ten rounds, the beasts stopped falling for the trick.
Qin Ze was in a complete mess.
He inadvertently caught a glimpse of the five vortexes that were now only the size of basketballs, and suddenly thought of the spatial vortexes left behind after the Void Beast disappeared.
[ Beast Tamer: @Yao Yuan, did the Void Beast you killed last time create a spatial vortex?]
[ Yao Yuan: After each Void Beast is killed, the spatial gate will be forcibly closed, creating spatial turbulence and spatial vortexes. The spatial vortexes will retrieve all the released beasts, but the exact reason for this is still unknown.]
Qin Ze's eyes lit up.
There's hope.
The spatial portal opened by the Void Beast is only accessible to other beasts; if we don't reclaim them, who will?
Qin Ze had a bold idea in his mind.
Damn it!
"We're doing this as a last resort!"
"Key, open the door for me."
[Fifteen units remaining in the Source of the World, insufficient to open the portal]
