The slap in the face came too fast! Three reinforcements were requested, and the commander's defenses were breached on the spot!

Shi Potian paid no more attention to Lin Yuan.

In his eyes, this so-called honorary consultant was a complete, spoiled joke!

He took a deep breath, and his sharp gaze swept across the field once more!

"According to the original plan!"

"Move out!"

At his command!

Rumble—!!!

Dozens of armored combat vehicles, already poised and ready, along with hundreds of iron-blooded warriors, transformed into three torrents of steel, roaring as they charged out of Tianshu Base!

They sped toward the three passes deep within the Kunlun Mountains, shrouded in blood and death!

...Yingchou Stream.

The terrain was steep, with bottomless cliffs on both sides and only a narrow passage in the middle.

Easy to defend and difficult to attack.

It was an excellent location for intercepting the beast tide.

The central team led by Su Li, numbering over a hundred people, immediately set up defensive positions with the greatest speed upon arriving at the pass.

Heavy machine guns, energy cannons, high-voltage power grids... death lines of defense constructed of steel and energy were declared complete within just a few minutes.

Warriors held various weapons, staring grimly at the other end of the pass.

The atmosphere was oppressive to the extreme.

Su Li held a silver spear flickering with a piercing cold light, standing quietly at the very front of the position.

Her black combat uniform fluttered in the wild wind of the mountain stream.

Those cold phoenix eyes watched the shadow-shrouded wilderness ahead without blinking for a second.

Although she had scoffed at Lin Yuan's "prophecy,"

for some reason,

a trace of indescribable unease lingered in her heart.

It was as if something extremely terrifying was waiting for them ahead.

"Everyone, stay alert!"

Her cold voice reached the ears of every warrior through the tactical communicator.

However,

before her words could even settle!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The earth began to tremble violently!

It felt as if thousands of horses were galloping from the end of the horizon!

"They're here!"

A warrior responsible for reconnaissance let out a terrified roar!

The next second,

at the edge of everyone's vision,

a black "tide" appeared!

It was a beast pack composed of countless giant wolves, their sizes comparable to rhinos, their bodies covered in steel-like scales!

Iron-Spined Wolves!

In their crimson eyes, the light of bloodlust and madness flickered!

They ran and roared, kicking up dust that filled the sky!

A dark mass, boundless and infinite!

The terrifying Evil Qi gathered from tens of thousands of Vicious Beasts soared into the sky, almost dyeing the clouds completely blood-red!

"Fire!!!"

Su Li's clear, cold voice was instantly replaced by endless killing intent!

Da-da-da-da-da—!!!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant!

The entire defense line burst into flames!

Countless barrages of death composed of bullets, artillery fire, and energy beams poured toward that black tide like a torrential rain!

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The hundreds of Iron-Spined Wolves charging at the very front were instantly torn to pieces before they could even let out a scream!

Blood and shredded meat dyed the entire pass red!

However!

This terrifying firepower, enough to make any human army tremble with fear,

was like a stone dropped into the ocean for those tens of thousands of wolves, failing to stir even a single ripple!

The Iron-Spined Wolves behind them stepped over the corpses of their companions, continuing their frantic charge without the slightest pause!

"Roar—!!!"

Their roars converged, becoming deafening!

"Something's wrong!"

An adjutant beside Su Li shouted with a pale face, "Instructor Su! The number of these Iron-Spined Wolves far exceeds the intelligence estimate! At least... at least double!"

"And... their auras... are so strong!"

That's right!

Strong!

Too strong!

The aura emitted by every Iron-Spine Wolf charging at the front was a full thirty percent stronger than described in the intelligence!

Their speed, strength, and defense had all received a comprehensive, terrifying boost!

This was clearly a pack that was infinitely close to being killing machines!

In just a few dozen seconds of engagement,

the steel defense line began to teeter!

Some Iron-Spined Wolves actually braved the dense firepower and charged right up to the position!

They used their sharp claws to frantically tear at the high-voltage power grid!

They used their steel-like heads to fearlessly ram the shields of the armored combat vehicles!

"Hold! Hold the line for me!"

"Reload! Quick, reload!"

The warriors roared frantically, the muzzles in their hands spewing never-ending tongues of fire!

However,

the number of wolves was simply too great!

It was as if they could never be killed off!

What made people's scalps tingle even more was... the attack of these Iron-Spined Wolves was actually filled with eerie tactical cooperation!

They were no longer charging brainlessly!

Some were responsible for drawing fire!

Some were responsible for flanking!

Some would even use their own bodies to detonate mines, opening a bloody safe passage for the companions behind them!

They were like a well-trained army!

It was as if behind them, there was an extremely brilliant Commander coordinating everything!

"It can't go on like this!"

On Su Li's ice-cold, beautiful face, an unprecedented solemnity finally appeared!

She knew that if they didn't break the stalemate, the entire defense line would be completely overrun!

"All heavy firepower, indiscriminate coverage!"

"Melee squad, follow me!"

Leaving behind a cold command,

the next second,

Su Li's figure moved!

She turned into a bolt of black lightning, holding her silver spear as she leaped down from the position!

She took the initiative to meet that boundless black beast tide!

"Kill!"

A cold shout!

The terrifying power of the Fourth Level of Huagang Realm exploded in full force at this moment!

The silver spear in her hand seemed to transform into a flood dragon emerging from the sea!

The spear struck like a Dragon!

Condensed spear light exploded around her!

Puff! Puff! Puff!

Any Iron-Spine Wolf struck by the spear light was pierced on the spot, exploding into clouds of blood mist!

Su Li was like a peerless, beautiful war goddess descending to the mortal realm!

One person, one spear!

She forcibly carved out a path of blood through the beast tide!

However!

She was only one person after all!

The wolf pack seemed infinite!

At the same time she killed one Iron-Spine Wolf, ten or even twenty would frantically pounce from all directions!

They used claws, teeth, bodies... every available means to exhaust her strength!

Puncture!

Su Li's spear pierced through a giant wolf pouncing at her.

But at the same time, another Iron-Spine Wolf launched a sneak attack from her rear flank at an extremely tricky angle!

Sharp wolf claws left a bloody gash on her arm, deep enough to see the bone!

"Ugh!"

Su Li groaned, her blood and Qi churning.

The intense pain made her spear-holding hand tremble slightly.

And this was only the beginning!

More and more Iron-Spined Wolves surrounded her!

At this moment, she felt as if she had fallen into an endless swamp of blood and death!

The True Qi in her body was being consumed at a terrifying rate!

Just then,

a shrill cry for help, mixed with static, suddenly came from the communicator in her ear!

"Commander! This is the left route! We've been hit by a pack of Earth Violent Bears!"

"Their numbers and strength far exceed the intelligence! Our defense line... is about to collapse! Requesting reinforcements! Requesting..."

"Ah—!!!"

After a scream, the communication abruptly ended!

Immediately after!

The voice from the right route also rang out!

"Right route calling for help! We've encountered mutated Shadow Snakes! They spit poison! Our hazmat suits are useless! Over twenty warriors have already been poisoned and fallen!"

"We... can't hold on!"

One after another, calls for help like death warrants reached the command center through the communicator.

On the high platform,

Shi Potian's resolute, square face had already turned ashen.

"How could these mutated beasts... possibly be this strong?!"
