Beside him, one soldier after another, like him, gazed silently at the sky outside the city.
During the evacuation, they learned why the alarm had been changed from combat to evacuation.
Four Sixth Tier Calamity Beast arrived; the nuclear bomb failed.
Neither of these two is something they can handle.
Fortunately, the Daoist priest who usually stayed at the base went out, buying them some time.
But now...
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, judging from the current developments, they're likely to be used as a last resort.
But, not going?
Everyone remained silent as they watched the rapidly enlarging black dot.
Nearby, many other troops had clearly heard the new instructions and were looking at them.
The scene was silent.
"What are you all standing there for? Come on, let's go back!"
A roar erupted from the crowd.
Then came the second, and the third.
"Artillery battalion, follow me!"
"Logistics, over here..."
The silence was broken.
Without resistance or argument, one group after another emerged from the long queue and hurried back.
Also rang out were slightly encouraging words.
"Damn it, I'll go back then! This time, I'll show these Calamity Beast what I'm made of!"
"Yeah, I've never even used a cannon to shoot a Sixth Tier Calamity Beast before! If I can manage to hit one this time, I can brag about it for the rest of my life!"
"Quick, brothers, come back!"
One powerful roar after another echoed through the air.
The officer in charge shouted as he hurried back:
"Excuse me, could you please move aside? Could you please move aside?"
Without a response, one soldier after another, belonging to other units, silently moved aside to both sides.
Then, one after another, figures raised their hands and placed them on their foreheads, though it's unclear who started it.
They watched solemnly as one figure after another went against the current.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!..."
"Clang, clang, bang--!"
A figure was sent flying backward through the clouds.
It flew for several hundred meters before slowly coming to a stop.
Li Daoyi raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but instead smiled and looked ahead.
"This is really... not something a human could do!"
After silently reciting a phrase in his mind, Li Daoyi's smile slowly faded, and he looked towards the direction of the base.
In my perception, the weakest of the Profound Crystal Griffin is flying rapidly toward the base.
In fact, the Profound Crystal Griffin had intended to go to the base from the very beginning, but he had stopped it. This obstruction had been present throughout the entire battle, including just now...
However, as time went on, fighting four opponents at once, and with his injuries piling up, he finally failed to stop them!
"Can the base stop it?"
This question flashed through Li Daoyi's mind.
With a brief resistance, there shouldn't be any problems.
After all, the base has always kept the most ammunition in the entire Plateau Erosion Zone.
Hitting it might be a bit difficult, but with its all-around firepower, preventing the Profound Crystal Griffin from entering the base's range should still be no problem.
That is, how long can this coverage last...?
With a serious expression, Li Daoyi withdrew his gaze.
Sensing that three Calamity Beast were rapidly approaching their location, they were being swept away.
He retreated rapidly, raising his hand at the same time.
A massive wind blade materialized and swiftly slashed towards the side of the mountain.
The next moment.
"Boom--"
The mountain trembled slightly.
The mountain peak, tens of meters above, is separated from the mountain below.
Losing its support, the hilltop began to slowly descend, accompanied by a tremendous noise.
However, the noise stopped abruptly after only a short while.
With a slight pause, the massive mountain peak was thrown straight forward.
"Watch out, that human will..."
A warning sound rang out from within the white mist.
Li Daoyi didn't care, nor did he expect that the attack just now would cause any damage. All he needed was to buy some time.
His figure flew rapidly backward as Li Daoyi adjusted his posture, his gaze fixed on the enormous shadow flying forward.
The wind howled, then paused slightly at a certain moment.
The next moment.
"Boom--"
The massive mountain shattered, and vaguely, a figure seemed to emerge from the ground, but because he retreated too quickly, he vanished from sight in an instant.
Ignoring it, Li Daoyi continued to stare at that spot with a solemn expression.
"The remaining three: one late-game specialist, two mid-game specialists, one Near-S-Class, and two S-Class...?"
His voice was heavy with seriousness. Li Daoyi stared at the three Calamity Beast, his mind quickly scanning them.
Thunder Falcon, Middle Stage of the Sixth Tier, Near-S-Class, and possibly the strongest among Near-S-Class.
It is fast, powerful, and can use its lightning talent to break through the ' White Clouds, Gray Dogs ' and find him.
Furthermore, lightning attacks can only be dodged without hindrance if one acts in the very last, extremely short time before the attack.
If you get too far away, the Thunder Falcon will simply change direction and continue chasing you; if you get too close, your body is easily affected by the Thunder Falcon emanating from its surroundings.
If it weren't for the fact that his opponent was a minor rank lower than him, he might have had to expend considerable effort to defeat him even if they were at the same level.
Even so, it's still the weakest of the remaining three Calamity Beast.
It is an eagle-beast with a human body, and appears to be Wind-Chasing Beast.
Middle Stage of the Sixth Tier, S-Class.
Currently, only two categories are demonstrated: wind control and extreme speed.
But these two types of abilities alone are already extremely powerful.
Especially his extreme speed; despite being at the same Middle Stage of the Sixth Tier, his speed was even faster than that of the Thunder Falcon and the Lion King.
Compared to him, she's only a little bit lacking.
But they were each a minor rank weaker than him!
Finally, the Lion King needs no introduction; almost all of his injuries were caused by his opponent.
If he continued to drag things out as before, he could indeed buy himself more time, but what about the base...?
With a solemn expression, Li Daoyi stared at the three Calamity Beast flying towards him at breakneck speed.
"It seems I still have to use this body to give it one last shot and see if I can force that Profound Crystal Griffin back!"
Li Daoyi soft breath and slowly raised his withered hands.
With fingers interlaced, a small space appears where the palms of both hands face each other.
The Origin Power rapidly converged and spun in that direction.
Soon, a small tornado quickly formed in the palm of my hand.
The figure remained in that position, retreating rapidly backward.
Until the leading figure drew closer.
His hands, which were slightly clasped together, opened.
A fierce wind surged forth...
"Tread."
They stopped walking.
Shen Heng stood on the platform paved with white boulders, looking up at the distance.
There, a palace a thousand meters high stood silently.
Real, Distortion, solemn...
He stood there, gazing at the palace.
Although I had sensed it from below, I was still shocked when I actually saw it.
After a pause, Shen Heng lowered his eyes and felt the slightly twisting Origin Power within his body.
This building seems to be even more special than expected!
The dwelling place of Eighth Tier Calamity Beast? Or perhaps Ninth Tier Calamity Beast?
Shen Heng wasn't quite sure, so he looked up at the center of the palace.
There, a tall and wide gate stood silently.
However, looking through the portal, what one sees is not the expected interior scene, but rather a Distortion barrier that makes it difficult to see anything clearly.
This doesn't seem to be a direct path into the building; rather, it looks more like...
Portal?!
