156: Chapter 156 The Thousand-Year-Old's Curses Were Very Vulgar
Seeing that the water cannons were about to strike the town.
The commander's beast collapsed to the ground, letting out a weary roar.
A gale condensed into several wind blades, hacking toward the water cannons, canceling each other out amidst a series of collision sounds.
"Good buddy, well done!"
The commander said, still shaken.
He Ben spoke up, "I'm afraid our situation has become even more troublesome."
The commander looked up, only to find the giant wave already before him. The water, which should have been soft, now shimmered with a metallic luster like a thick wall of metal, pressing heavily down upon the garrison; the shadow of death loomed over them.
Boom—
The garrison's shield activated and held for a moment before shattering. The remaining force of the waves crashed down; without the heaviness of the metal, the massive flow of water still directly demolished the entire garrison, scattering everyone.
Even more fatal was the fact that dense swarms of Water Demon Beasts were hidden within the water.
They broke through the water, pouncing on the soldiers and beasts, and a primitive melee erupted.
After a brief panic, the soldiers quickly organized their formations, with beasts in front and soldiers behind, forming circles, holding demon-hunting guns in their hands to fight the demon beasts.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang..."
The commander poured out bullets frantically, repelling several Water Demon Beasts that had pounced to bite Tianfeng, then turned to support the others.
A few minutes passed.
After sacrificing one-third of the soldiers' lives, the surviving soldiers and beasts gathered together, forming several inner and outer circles.
But surrounding them were thousands upon thousands of ever-increasing Water Demon Beasts: black iron Level 4 Needle Fish, Bronze Level 3 Iron Claw Crabs, Silver Level 2 Explosive Fish... they were countless.
The commander and Tianfeng were also surrounded by many Water Demon Beasts.
The dead end was sealed.
Bang, bang, bang—
Suddenly, a familiar dull thud echoed; hundreds of metallic water cannons were fired from Qiansui Lake. This time, the targets were several small towns!
The commander's eyes were wide with rage, bloodshot, and he let out a beast-like low growl: "Damn it... ah!!!"
The soldiers all wore expressions of unwillingness; some had already turned their faces away, unable to bear watching the impending tragedy.
Suddenly.
Hum—
A strange humming sound rang out.
Those metallic water cannons seemed to be restrained by some strange energy, and then, they exploded one after another.
Hundreds of them exploded at once, like fireworks, with none escaping.
The commander and the soldiers were stunned.
Those Water Demon Beasts were also attracted by the commotion and looked up at the sky.
The next second.
The Star Disc Demon Spider appeared. Liu Zhanxing looked at the destroyed garrison and the remains of the soldiers all over the ground, his fists clenched tightly, and a murderous intent erupted in his eyes.
"Kill all those Water Demon Beasts, leave not one behind!"
As Liu Zhanxing's voice fell, demonic energy permeated the surroundings, crisscrossing into a web. At every intersection point, a pitch-black, energy-formed giant spider descended.
Talent - Enchanting Demon Star.
It channeled the stars from the star disc onto the spider web, condensing into demon spiders at the intersection points, forming subordinates under its command.
As soon as hundreds of demon spiders appeared, they didn't say a word and pounced straight toward the Water Demon Beasts. Chaos erupted among the Water Demon Beasts; some resisted, some fled, but regardless, they were like paper in front of these demon spiders.
They were torn apart with a single light touch.
"It's Vice General Liu!"
Someone shouted, and the soldiers' morale soared as they commanded their beasts to charge at the Water Demon Beasts.
At this moment, Qiansui Lake seemed to sense the threat, becoming calm as if nothing had ever happened.
Liu Zhanxing found the commander, "How is the situation?"
The commander said, "Now that you're here, it's basically stable, as long as we can suppress that Thousand Years."
Liu Zhanxing nodded and asked again, "What exactly happened? Hasn't Thousand Years always been very stable?"
Thousand Years was a Gold-grade demon beast that accidentally arrived in Ningyang City many years ago. Because it was emotionally stable, disliked killing, and its living habits were compatible with humans, Ningyang City kept it in this lake to serve as the town-source demon beast.
This was a common operation for many cities: by placing powerful and controllable demon beasts in urban water sources and utilizing the aura they emitted, they aimed to deter demon beasts in rivers and lakes, achieving a balance between humans and demon beasts.
After all, city walls could block demon beasts on the other side, but waterways were accessible in all directions, and Water Demon Beasts were endless. Relying solely on the City Defense Bureau, even with 10 times the manpower, would not be enough.
Mentioning the serious matter, the commander looked irritable and said, "I don't know. An hour ago, huge waves rose in the lake, and many Water Demon Beasts raided the garrison, causing the deaths of several brothers. Since then, the lake hasn't stopped. My Tianfeng was ambushed by Thousand Years and suffered heavy injuries."
"If it's unclear, then we'll fight until it speaks clearly!"
After speaking, Liu Zhanxing took the Star Disc Demon Spider and headed straight for Qiansui Lake. Except for the soldiers dealing with the aftermath, everyone else looked over.
"This guy... where did he evolve from? He's damn lucky," the commander said sourly.
In front of Qiansui Lake.
Liu Zhanxing said, "Churn the water for me and force that iron guy out!"
Black mist boiled over the Star Disc Demon Spider, shrouding the vast Qiansui Lake. It hovered hundreds of meters high, and then the black mist condensed, forming a black curtain that covered the sky and sun, as if night had fallen.
Many soldiers were stunned.
Immediately afterward, points of starlight lit up within the black curtain. The starlight became more and more numerous and dense, as if it were a galaxy filling the sky, beautiful enough to make people gasp in admiration.
"Smash it for me!" Liu Zhanxing shouted.
The next second, the stars in the "sky" constantly magnified, passing through the curtain and turning into clusters of silver, shining meteorites.
Boom!
The first cluster of meteorites smashed into Qiansui Lake, splashing waves over a hundred meters high.
Boom! Boom!
The second and third clusters smashed down, and the entire Qiansui Lake began to turmoil. The power was so terrifying that even the soldiers in the distance could barely stand.
This power was no less than the Sky-Shattering Fire Dragon's Meteor Fall.
However, this quantity was only the beginning. The meteorites went from seven or eight clusters to dozens, and then to hundreds.
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
The terrifying attacks descended like a natural disaster. The lake water churned, the earth trembled, people were terrified, and beasts wailed, as if the heavens were truly angry and wanted to shatter the lake.
Before long, a water spout rose from the lake, blocking a wave of meteorites. Then, the water level rose, and a big guy "whooshed" out of the water.
A golden tortoise shell, a purple tortoise head; it was over two hundred meters wide, like a small island. However, its back was now riddled with pits and dents from the smashing—not deep, but it must have been painful.
So this Thousand Years was a thousand-year-old tortoise.
Thousand Years roared at the Star Disc Demon Spider, its tone not particularly loud, even carrying a hint of grievance.
"All these years, Ningyang City has not treated you badly. Why, for no reason, would you attack the citizens of Ningyang City!" Liu Zhanxing shouted angrily.
The Star Disc Demon Spider translated the words.
Who knew that Thousand Years would become agitated, "Roar, roar, roar"ing non-stop, then turned its head, raised its small tail, and revealed its bloody... butt.
Liu Zhanxing was stunned at the sight.
Could it be that this was literally... a butt transaction?
Who was so brutal?
At this moment, the Star Disc Demon Spider translated Thousand Years' agitated words, but the meaning made Liu Zhanxing's expression tighten.
"A powerful Water Demon Beast snuck in, struck from behind, 'ambushed' it, and then transformed into a human and ran to the town?!"
A powerful demon beast, capable of transforming into a human, possessing a certain degree of aggression...
If this was the case, things were bad.
Ningyang City had just experienced a beast tide and blood toxin; it had suffered heavy losses and was at its most unstable point of order. If this demon beast were to cause chaos in the city...
The consequences would be unimaginable.
Thoughts aside, seriousness aside, Liu Zhanxing's damn curiosity still made him unable to help asking one more question: "Are you sure it wasn't voluntary?"
"Roar, roar, roar—"
He couldn't understand it, but he could be sure that Thousand Years was cursing filthily.
