The scales whirled, creating gusts of sharp wind and piercing shrieks. Simultaneously, new scales rapidly grew on Starâs body.
"An area attack ability?"
Wen Yu carefully observed the Skill Effects of Starâs New Skill, nodding after a moment.
"It combines attack and defense. Itâs as if a domain-like power has manifested within a hundred-meter radius around its body. Judging by the speed of the flying scales, its Lethality seems quite good."
Five minutes later, the scales were still swirling.
"And it seems to have no time limit."
"Thatâs enough," Wen Yu called out to Star.
"Itâs not over yet."
Starâs Spiritual Fluctuation suddenly transmitted back. Simultaneously, the swirling scales exploded like black fireworks, scattering rapidly in all directions with even greater force.
The sight immediately reminded Wen Yu of an ability he had witnessed before.
Bone Explosion Technique (A-Class, Active Skill): An innate talent of the Bone Demon Clan that only a few elites can master. Abandon everything, pursue ultimate Lethality! The innate bone armor of the Bone Demon Clan self-detonates, inflicting fatal damage on all surrounding enemies! After the bone armor explodes, the host dies instantly!
This ability had once nearly wiped out everyone in the Flashing Bluestar treasure land, leaving an extremely deep impression on Wen Yu. Now, it seemed Starâs new ability was remarkably similar to the Bone Explosion Technique.
But this was even stronger, and its Lethality far more terrifying!
As the swirling scales settled, Star scampered back and sat expectantly before Wen Yu.
Wen Yu stroked Starâs body, feeling a surge of emotion as an irrepressible thought surfaced in his mind.
The power of a divine beast... itâs too strong.
Cyclopsâs strength was definitely among the top tier of mutant beasts. Combined with the skills Wen Yu had personally tailored for him, Cyclops had become a super-ferocious hound capable of taking on ten opponents at once. Unfortunately, when comparing Cyclopsâs power to Starâs, the difference was truly significant.
A divine beast obtains an S-class skill or higher upon advancing (this was Wen Yuâs conjecture based on Starâs skills). Furthermore, their species innate talent is exceptionally powerful. One physique point of a divine beast is practically equivalent to ten physique points of an ordinary creature. This kind of gap is insurmountable!
At this thought, Wen Yu recalled the map he had seen at Lin Haifengâs place.
There were still several divine beasts in Cathay...
He mounted Starâs back, scooped up Cyclopsâwho had reverted to his Mini Formâand shouted.
"Letâs go, guys! To the outpost!"
Starâs black silhouette soared into the sky, flying swiftly toward the outpost.
ăă
At the outpost, the "fiery" battle raged on.
In the militaryâs view, these Bipedal Lizards were like prized egg-laying hens. Moreover, the black vortex in the Demon City was steadily shrinking. By now, the only Bipedal Lizards that could squeeze out were all Level 1. This compelled the military to attach even greater importance to the remaining creatures.
A Third-level Bipedal Lizard had been captured and brought to the outpost. Several hundred Heavy Shield Guards had cornered it within a defensive perimeter. Periodically, a pile of mangled Bipedal Lizard corpses would be tossed in; then the cycle of eating, producing offspring, and being killed would commence.
Nearby, Kuangliu let out a heavy yawn, then glanced up at Wei Tian on the city wall, who was continuously firing a modified assault rifle. Kuangliu sighed and muttered, "Damn, what a free-for-all! Even those academy geeks are here testing Weapons and raking in points. But itâs tough on me... making me scramble for points with these Level 2 and Level 3 professionists. I canât bring myself to do it; itâs too humiliating..."
Hearing Kuangliuâs muttering, Fang Wenhai, who was nearby, chuckled and said, "If you canât bring yourself to do it, others certainly can."
After speaking, Fang Wenhai gestured with his chin toward a gigantic figure outside the city walls.
That figure outside the city was at least twenty meters tall. Stark naked, yet showing no hint of embarrassment, he periodically swung his fists, viciously smashing the low-level Bipedal Lizards on the ground.
His short golden hair stood on end, and he occasionally erupted in wild laughter. At times, when in high spirits, he would even jiggle his proportionally enlarged penis and make forceful pelvic thrusts toward the people on the city wall...
Just as Kuangliu looked at the giant, the giant was at his peak excitement. With hands on his hips, a stream of yellowish liquid suddenly sprayed from his groin, instantly forming a small puddle outside the city.
Witnessing this, Kuangliuâs mouth twitched.
"Heh, this Sequence Number 7 certainly is... spirited..."
Fang Wenhai, beside him, pursed his lips and muttered, "And whose fault is that? Yours."
After Kuangliuâs return, the battle at the outpost was already winding down. Kuangliu had advanced to Level 5 in record time. Then, standing outside the city walls, he had swiftly annihilated vast numbers of Bipedal Lizards. His unparalleled might instantly overshadowed all other Sequences, including Yang Pengguang.
This spectacle undoubtedly spurred the other Sequences. The original agreement to leave the low-level Bipedal Lizards outside the city for troop training was shattered by Sequence Number 6, Sequence Number 7, and Sequence Number 9. Each began their own slaughter on the sections of the city wall defended by their respective countries. Only the two sections of the wall guarded by Cathayâs military still strictly adhered to Lin Haifengâs orders.
Meanwhile, Sequence Number 5, Yang Pengguang, had also ventured out of the city much earlier to hunt Demon Fiends and improve his strength.
In the combat zone outside the city walls assigned to the Russian military, Andreâs slaughter continued unabated!
As a Middle Stage Level 4 Human Race Sequence Number 7, his strength was undeniable. His enormous fists relentlessly pounded the Bipedal Lizards, leaving behind heaps of gore. His furious power radiated outwards as he periodically bellowed at a nearby blonde woman clad in tight leather, "Hey, baby, think this will satisfy you?"
With that, Andre forcefully jiggled his crotch, eliciting a fresh wave of raucous laughter from the Russian soldiers.
Nearby, on the American militaryâs defensive line, Claire, wielding a large, distinctly futuristic firearm, gave Andre a sweet smile. Then, she quickly reloaded and fired a shot straight at his groin!
Several beams of light swirled around the muzzle, and then a massive grenade struck him bullseye!
Andre shrieked, doubling over and clutching his groin, letting out an inhuman wail.
"FUCK! My balls! Theyâre gone again! Get me a healing potion, now!"
Nearby, Claire covered her mouth, giggling. Then, she shot Andre the middle finger twice with emphasis and shouted, "Go home and play with your mother!"
