Chapter 227
It exploded instantly upon contact with the opponent's thick forelimbs.
Beside him, Xiao Hei raised the Demonic Shadow Sword above his head and flicked his wrist slightly.
"Whoosh!"
A perfect crescent-shaped blade of light advanced horizontally, accompanied by a piercing whistling sound, as if even the air itself was being sliced apart.
Upon striking the opponent's black carapace, it cut a deep gash that exposed bone, from which dark green pus oozed.
"Hiss!!!"
The Dragonblood Burrower winced in pain, its soul flames flickering in its pupils. It then raised its forelimbs, which resembled giant scythes, preparing to shred the nearest Hellscream.
Shen Xing immediately discerned its intention and swiftly ordered, "Black Arrow, attack its joints to slow it down!"
"Hellscream, Xiao Hei, don't back down, charge at its feet!"
At the lord's command, the Black Arrow, which had been charging for a long time, were released from the bowstring instantly, and two Frostbolt shot out!
"Thump! Thump!"
The Arrows struck the monster's forelimb joint, instantly freezing it with a thick layer of frost, drastically reducing its swinging speed.
Taking advantage of the moment, Hellscream and Xiao Hei suddenly accelerated and rushed to the feet of the Dragonblood Burrower.
No sooner said than done.
From the moment the Burrower raised its forelimbs in an attacking motion to the moment Black Arrow slowed it down, and Hellscream and the others advanced instead of retreating, the entire process took less than a second.
"Whoosh!!"
A dark blade flashed, sweeping across a fan-shaped area dozens of meters ahead.
One of the Dretch got too close and was touched by the blade, instantly turning into fragments Dretch itself.
With such a large attack range and slashing speed, it's impossible to dodge.
If Hellscream had retreated instead of charging forward, they would likely have been seriously injured as well.
Leina and her squad of hundreds of Dretch had finished charging up, with hundreds of fireballs hovering in mid-air.
"Fry!"
At Shen Xing's command, all the fireballs fell simultaneously, like a meteor shower.
With the blessing of [Flame Aura] and the bond of the Hundred Dretch, each fireball was the size of a washbasin, with one of them exceeding five meters in diameter.
Because of its enormous size and the fact that it had just awakened and was still in a daze, the Dragonblood Burrower was hit squarely.
"Boom! Boom boom boom!"
The deafening explosions were deafening, Infernal Flame flew everywhere, and waves of heat rose up.
When the smoke cleared, the monster's massive body was covered with charred marks, indicating that it had suffered serious injuries.
However, upon closer inspection, it can be seen that it did not cause any substantial damage.
"It's Dragon Armor Hardening." Shen Xing narrowed his eyes. "This guy's defense is even more exaggerated than I expected. It can actually withstand the bombardment from Leina and the Dretch Squad."
"But it's okay, if one wave doesn't kill us, we'll have a second wave, a third wave. Let's see how long you can withstand it."
At the lord's command, Hellscream and Xiao Hei charged forward again to begin restraining the BOSS.
Leina and the Dretch Squad also began their second wave of charging.
Meanwhile, on another large battlefield, more than a thousand orcs and over thirty Infernal had made official contact with the Dragon Tomb Guardian army of several thousand.
"Thump! Thump thump!"
The Drum of Invigoration resounded across the battlefield, stimulating the speed of all the soldiers.
"For the glory of our lord, for the Horde!!"
Da Hou and took the lead, letting out a deafening Roar.
The violent sound waves formed a real shockwave, sweeping outwards.
The Dragon Tomb Guardian on the path ahead were as if struck by an invisible hammer, flying backward on the spot, their formation torn open.
"Kill!"
He charged forward fearlessly, plunging deep into enemy territory, followed by fearless green-skinned orcs.
The two sides instantly engaged in the most intense hand-to-hand combat!
Although the newly summoned orcs were only intended to be cannon fodder, their combat power was still not to be underestimated, thanks to the buff of [Spirit of the Horde] (all levels increased by 1) and [Drum of Invigoration].
In addition, they fight with fearlessness, like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves.
Even though these Dragon Tomb Guardian are tough and thick-skinned, you can still leave several deep wounds on them with a stone axe.
A group of orcs surrounded a half-dragon and hacked at him wildly, scales flying everywhere, flesh and blood mangled, completely ignoring their own injuries.
Even more outrageous is that after these cannon fodder die, a semi-transparent green soul rises from their corpses and continues to charge at the enemy, wielding a battle axe.
It's Hellscream's Hero Rank passive skill— Orc War Soul!
These cannon fodder orcs could use one life as two, and with the additional knockback effect of the Thousand-Man Bond, they drove the Dragon Tomb Guardian army into a rout.
On the other side.
Gorehowl led his wolf riders like a sharp scimitar, slashing fiercely into the enemy ranks from the flank.
Wolf claws and battle axes Sweep in turn, sending limbs and severed bodies flying everywhere they went.
These weren't just cannon fodder orcs; they were all at least level 9, the maximum level, and most of them were Elite Rank cavalry.
The Dragon Tomb Guardian were no match for them, and their formation was quickly broken.
Gorehowl, that thick-browed, big-eyed fellow, would occasionally toss a few [Declaration of Strife] towards the Dragon Tomb Guardian Priest behind the enemy lines.
An invisible Power of War spread through the crowd, instantly arousing the bloodlust deep within the guard priests, who began to indiscriminately attack all living beings around them.
In an instant, considerable chaos erupted in both the front and rear of the enemy forces.
"Hahaha! Have you witnessed the might of us orcs?"
Gorehowl, wielding his flaming greatsword, roared with triumph, "Brothers, keep charging!"
With a casual wave of his hand, a powerful burst of blood energy emanated from the area.
The orcs' eyes immediately turned red, and their already ferocious attack surged even further.
"Waaaagh!!"
They roared and howled, hacking down hordes of enemies, not even caring whether they were dead or alive.
Because they knew that the archer legions and the Black Moon Knights would follow up with the harvest.
"Xiao Guang, you should join in too."
Xia Wanyin's gentle voice rang out. "Go provide support on the main battlefield; your area-of-effect attacks are quite strong."
"Yes... Master..."
The Light Knight nodded respectfully, then picked up his spear and strode towards the battlefield.
He ran faster and faster, and the light emanating from his body grew stronger, like a shooting star gliding across the ground.
Finally, a warhorse formed from light elements materialized out of thin air, and it leaped onto the horse, its speed increasing dramatically once again.
He raised his spear high, letting out a deep and solemn battle cry, "Arsenal of Light, open!"
As soon as he finished speaking, half of the melee units in the Light Spirit Legion behind him actually rose into the air.
It then rapidly decomposed and recombined, transforming into over a hundred weapons formed from the condensation of light elements.
Guns, swords, knives, axes, halberds... countless weapons floated in mid-air, as dazzling as Heavenly Star.
"Holy crap, the Gate of Babylon?"
Shen Xing, who was directing from the side, exclaimed in surprise, his eyes wide with astonishment.
Bro, I'm actually a little envious of what you've got.
That's so damn cool!
"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
With a flick of his lance, the Light Knight unleashed a barrage of light elemental weapons, plunging deep into enemy territory and exploding into dazzling bursts of light.
Many of the Dragon Tomb Guardian were instantly pierced or blown away by the light blast.
After hitting their targets, the weapons transformed back into Light Spirit warriors, who continued to fight.
At this moment, they have completely gained a foothold on the battlefield.
Even though the enemy outnumbered them several times over, the combined efforts of several generals and coordinated troop movements still resulted in a rout of the enemy forces.
Shen Xing glanced at the screen for a while, and after confirming that there were no problems, he refocused his attention on the BOSS battlefield.
At this moment, the Dragonblood Burrower had already withstood two rounds of simultaneous attacks from Leina and the Dretch Legion. Its outer shell was damaged in many places, revealing its pale skeleton inside.
At that moment, the monster raised its sharp forelimbs again.
Having learned from previous experiences, Hellscream and Xiao Hei, who were locked in fierce combat, prepared to run towards the giant worm's feet without needing the lord's command.
Black Arrow also instantly fired several Frostbolt, slowing down the giant worm's attack speed.
At this moment, Shen Xing noticed something was wrong and quickly spoke up to remind him.
"It's Earth Spike attack, there's no way to dodge it!"
"Xiao Hei, cast [Black Moon Shield] on yourself and Hellscream!"
The two generals immediately stopped in their tracks, their expressions changing slightly.
Xiao Hei raised the Demonic Shadow Sword, and the Black Moon above his head spun faster.
A layer of pitch-black shield rose up like flowing water, completely enveloping the two of them.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Two enormous bone spikes burst from the ground instantly, piercing through the shield and sending the two flying high into the air.
Fortunately, the shield absorbed a large amount of damage, and they only suffered minor scratches.
The two people who landed turned around and looked at the figure sitting in the wheelchair, their eyes filled with admiration.
They knew that if it weren't for the lord's timely and repeated commands, they would have been seriously injured.
Before anyone could take another step, the monster suddenly opened its chrysanthemum-shaped mouth, and a ball of eerie green ghost fire condensed in its throat.
Shen Xing's heart sank, knowing it was just the giant insect's [Soul-Piercing Shriek], which came with a crowd control effect.
"Black Arrow, Deep Freeze Arrow, interrupt it!"
The skeleton archers behind him instantly drew their bows, unleashing a burst of intense cold that covered the ground within a hundred meters with a layer of white frost.
In the next instant, all the cold air converged on the Arrows in his hand, as if all rivers were flowing into the sea.
"Call out!"
A crystal-clear Arrows struck its target at a speed too fast for the naked eye to perceive.
