Boom! Boom!
Yang Ling’er was hunting a monster.
It was a hundred-meter-long Komodo Dragon with thick scales on its body. Its head itself was over ten meters long as viscous drool kept falling out from its mouth.
Clearly, this was a Class 7 Komodo Dragon, and by looking at the entire training camp, there were not many trainees who have the ability to a Class 7 Direbeast.
Yang Ling’er could not do it in the past, but today, she had the Class 7 Komodo Dragon completely on the back foot as a silver blade under her control transformed into streams of light as she kept up a constant assault on it.
The blade was as fast as lightning, and the Komodo dragon could only be beaten helplessly.
“Annihilation!”
Seeing the Komodo Dragon was exhausted, Yang Ling’er suddenly stepped in closer to the Komodo dragon as a terrifying annihilation power erupted, and the Komodo Dragon’s head bizarrely disappeared.
Bam!
Without its head, the Komodo Dragon’s body fell onto the ground and stayed motionless.
“Huhh…”
Yang Ling’er wiped the sweat from her forehead as she heaved a sigh of relief. The battle just now was not easy, but she finally won.
“I can finally kill a Class 7 Direbeast alone now!”
Yang Ling’er clenched her fists, as her face flushed red. “Brother, I won’t waste your treasures, and I will live up to your expectations! Just wait for me, I’ll head to the Matriculation Camp as soon as possible…”
“Ling’er, good job!”
At this moment, a burst of hearty laughter sounded. Yang Ling’er’s eyes lit up as she turned around. “Brother, why are you here?”
“I’m of course here to see you.”
Ling Jiu touched the hair by Yang Ling’er’s ears. “You’re so powerful, you can kill a Class 7 Komodo Dragon alone now!”
“Thanks to the treasure!”
Yang Ling’er was very happy. “I’ve consumed those treasures, and not only I’ve broken through Level 6 in a single go, I’ve also gained new derivative abilities!”
“New ability?”
Ling Jiu’s eyes lit up. “What derivative ability?”
“I seem to be able to control any material, and can also annihilate any material.” Yang Ling’er was extremely excited.
“Omni-control and Omni-annihilation?”
Ling Jiu was shocked.
“Seems like it!”
Yang Ling’er nodded.
“That sounds quite broken! But…”
Ling Jiu was amazed. “Your previous Arcana was control and annihilation of the five elements, and after you took the Deep Awakening Elixer, you’ve broken through Level 6 at the same time!”
“Be it the Deep Awakeningm, or the deriative Arcana from breaking through Level 6, there was a possibility of the control and annihilation of the five elements to transform into control and annihilation of all matters.”
“Yeah!”
Yang Ling’er nodded.
“Ling’er, your Arcana is one of the best. When you have time, I’ll teach you a Sage-Mode trick, and your strength will definitely increase sharply!”
Ling Jiu smiled. “In this way, even if I were to leave the training camp, you can still dominate the training camp with your own strength!”
“Sage Mode?”
Yang Ling’er blinked.
“It’s a very broken mode!”
Ling Jiu smiled mysteriously and then said, “Come, I’ll take you to meet someone.”
“Ugh…”
Yang Ling’er was stunned for a moment, and before she could ask, Ling Jiu brought her instantly to the inside of the maglev airship floating in midair.
“Brother, who are you taking me to meet?” Yang Ling’er asked in confusion.
“Daughter!”
Yang Su yelled out, and Yang Ling’er’s petite body trembled as she struggled to turn behind as she saw a woman who looked like her was staring back at her.
“Brother, she is…”
Yang Ling’er suddenly realized something, as her body could not help but to tremble slightly.
“Daughter, my daughter!”
Before Ling Jiu could say anything, Yang Su ran over and hugged Yang Ling’er as she broke down and cries. Yang Ling’er was similarly affected and started crying as well.
For a time, the airship was full of the sounds of a crying mother and daughter.
“Sigh…”
Ling Jiu sighed and then piloted the airship towards the direction of Lantian Base City. Since he had found mum, his family should be reunited then.
Every other thing can be resolved later.
Five hours later, Lantian Base City was in sight. After some time, Yang Su and Yang Ling’er both had calmed down and they kept on chatting with one another.
Of course, it was mainly Yang Su who was talking, while Yang Ling’er listened on. Although the woman before her was her real mother, she still could not fully accept it at this moment.
This was human nature, and it was understandable.
At this moment, the airship suddenly stopped and both mother and daughter looked at Ling Jiu in unison. “Brother, have we reached Lantian Base City?”
“We’ll be there soon, but the situation in Lantian Base City doesn’t seem to be very good.”
“What happened?”
“Beast Tide!”
“Beast tide?”
The mother and daughter hurriedly walked to Ling Jiu and through the transparent floor-to-ceiling mirror, they saw a dense black tide surrounding Lantian Base City.
There were roars and growls.
And the sound of slaughter and the roar of artillery fire.
Massive sound waves crashed out like billowing waves, seeminglt wanting to engulf the entire Lantian Base City.
“This Beast Tide…”
Yang Su’s expression changed drastically. “Can Lantian Base City stop such a massive Beast Tide? Nothing will happen to your father and Xiaotong, right?”
“The scale of the Beast Tide isn’t that big, but it is still disastrous for Lantian Base City!”
Ling Jiu faintly said, “See that Direbeast floating in the air? If I’m not mistaken, that’s a Class 7 Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent!”
“It is indeed an Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent!”
Yang Linger nodded slightly.
“A Class 7 Direbeast? What should we do? What if Lantian Base City cannot stop it?”
Yang Su panicked. As the president of the Yang Corporation, she knew what a Class 7 Direbeast meant for a small-medium-sized base city like Lantian.
It was an absolute disaster!
“No fear, we’re here after all!”
The Direbeast floating in midair was indeed an Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent.
It was more than hundred meters long with pitch-black scales covering its entire body as if it was black iron. Its menacing head was like the head of a bull, with four claws under its abdomen and as its long sharp seemingly want to rip the sky apart.
It was too big, and when it floated it the air, it was like a behemoth that wantonly venting its evil intentions and terrifying aura.
At the same time, inside the raging Beast Tide on the ground, there were as many as 21 Class 6 Direbeast, hundreds of Class 5 Direbeasts, and countless other Direbeasts.
One Class 7 Direbeast!
Twenty-one Class 6 Direbeasts!
Hundreds of Class 5 Direbeasts!
It was obvious that the Beast Tide this time was far greater than the one before. After all, the last Beast Tide was only triggered by a Class 6 Bloodgroger Bat, but this time, it was a Class 7 Direbeast, and the scale was on a totally different level.
No, looking at the scale of this Beast Tide, be it the Arcanists on the city’s bulwar, the soldiers or Commander Wang Chao, all of them despaired.
A single Class 6 Direbeast was already very difficult to deal with, and now they were facing 21 of them, let alone an even more powerful Beast Lord?
“Will we not hold this time?”
Wang Chao murmured to himself as he saw no hope. The request for help had already been sent, and only God knows when would the reinforcements from Chang’an Base City arrive.
By the time they got here, the defenses would have long been breached by the Beast Tide, no?
“Chief, the PICs from the Arcana organizations like Pangu, Vulcan, the Freedom Alliance had arrived!” At this moment, a soldier rushed in to report.
“Those big shots are finally here, but for what use?”
Wang Chao said with a sarcastic look on his face.
At this moment, at the city’s bulwark.
Pangu’s General Manager Luo Jia, Vulcan’s new General Manager, Jiang Chong, the Freedom Alliance’s General Manager, Wang Dang… all of the other leaders of the major Arcana organizations have all arrived.
Unfortunately, as they looked at the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent floating before them, all of them turned pale and were equally speechless.
A Class 7 Direbeast!
How do they even fight against it?
“How… How about we retreat?”
An Arcana combine manager said jitteringly.
Every company had a large maglev airship, and if they wanted to, they could evacuate the company’s most important employees out of Lantian Base City.
“Retreat is only a last-resort option. If we retreat earlier, forget about the law forbidding it, the company will not let us off either!”
Luo Jia solemnly said, “Everyone, be prepared for a battle for life and death! I believe the reinforcements from Chang’an Base City are already on their way, and we only need to hold on until they arrive!”
All other managers nodded one after another.
“Raaaaawr!”
At this moment, the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent suddenly roared, and a rolling sound wave blasted out, causing the soldiers and the Arcanists on to the city’s bulwark into a dizzy fit as their ears went numb.
The next moment, the black Beast Tide launched an overwhelming attack.
Titan Tempest Apes dozens of stories tall, Titan Pythons with a body length of a 100 meters, an a Steel Eagle that looked like a sculpture made out of metal…
The 21 Class 6 Direbeasts roared in response to the order issued by the Beast Lord, the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent. Then, they took the lead as they charged at the city’s bulwark.
“Class 6 Direbeast!”
“The Class 6 Direbeast is charging over!”
Seeing this, all of the soldiers and Arcanist yelled. Aganist common Direbeasts, they could still fight against them. but against a Class 6 Direbeast, how are they even supposed to fight?
“Attack! All-out attack!”
Wang Chao’s voice thundered at the bulwark. “The reinforcements from Chang’an Base City is on their way. Once they arrive, victory will be ours!”
Hearing this, the morale of the soldiers and Arcanists was restored. Yes, although the Beast Tide was ferocious, but reinforcements were coming, so, we must hold the fort!
“Kill them all!”
“Fight those b*stards!”
“You want to take down Lantian Base City? Over my dead body!”
“You spawn of b*tches, die…”
Boom! Boom!
Baaam baaam!
Bullets, shells, flames, projectiles, thunderbolts all struck at the 21 Class 6 Direbeasts like a torrent.
Yet, the most despairing thing happened.
All of the attacks that hit the Class 6 Direbeasts failed to cause any effect on them as they broke through the smoke and charged once again.
“How… How is that possible?”
“Our attacks are useless!”
“Those things are on a totally different level, how do we even fight?”
Everyone despaired.
Kweeeeh!
At this instant, a loud eagle’s shriek thundered as a Steel Eagle with a wingspan over 100 meters, and a body made out of steel flew over.
It was the fastest, and appeared above the city’s bulwark at the very first instant. All of its feathers stood up straight as they rained down upon the soldiers and Arcanists on the city’s bulwark.
“Oh no!”
“We’re done for!”
Seeing this, everyone let out a look of despair. The Steel Eagle was a Class 6 Direbeast, and its feathers were tougher than steel. If they were struck by it, they would be dead for sure.
Buzzt!
Seeing the dense barrage of feathers was about to strike them, a straight energy came crashing down, causing all of the feathers to float in mid-air.
(⊙o⊙)…
“What’s going on?”
Everyone was dumbstruck.
The next moment, they shockingly saw a sharp sword shooting out of nowhere suddenly penetrating the Steel Eagle’s head, and nailing it to death in midair.
