187: The domineering Xiao Gu
A few days ago!
When everyone was discussing what to use to defend the perimeter outside the city against Evil Beasts, Chen Fei mentioned the Red Spider Lily.
Tuoba Zhiyuan was enlightened at that moment.
If they could use the Red Spider Lily from the Nine Nether Fierce Land, why couldn't they use the Soul Corpse Wrapping Vine from the Primordial Fierce Land?
City Master thought of another Demonic Plant, specifically the Feng Hou Blood Vine beneath the Silent Death Cliff.
Thus, one person headed to the Fierce Land, and the other headed to the Silent Death Cliff.
Within the Primordial Fierce Land, various Primordial Remnant Species exist, mostly Demonic Plants, and their strength is extremely formidable. Even a typical King-level Beast Tamer might not be able to leave once they enter.
The Soul Corpse Wrapping Vine is one such Primordial Remnant Species and is quite difficult to deal with.
They could only let Tuoba Zhiyuan, who possessed the Dimensional System, make a dedicated trip.
Tuoba Zhiyuan hid it in another space.
He then handed the key to open this space over to Cheng Jingjing.
As soon as Cheng Jingjing crushed this object, the Soul Corpse Wrapping Vines would rush out immediately.
And City Master lived up to expectations, also retrieving the Feng Hou Blood Vine.
This led to the scene of the three terrifying Demonic Plants—the Soul Corpse Wrapping Vine, the Red Spider Lily, and the Feng Hou Blood Vine—running rampant across the land.
Seeing this, even the Mianling Ghost Tree had to admit, "What a Human Race! Truly ruthless!"
They were indeed ruthless.
The introduction of these three Demonic Plants by the Eighth War Zone might potentially turn this place into the "Fifth Fierce Land" in the future.
This was not the situation the Mianling Ghost Tree wanted to see.
Even if they successfully conquered Baiyue City, it would be a loss, as dealing with these three great Demonic Plants would require considerable effort.
But the arrow was on the string; it had to be released.
The Evil Beasts that had crossed the Soul Corpse Wrapping Vine prepared to launch a fierce assault on Baiyue City.
Cheng Jingjing, Chen Qingyun, Ximen Lingyun, and the others had no choice but to act.
The Sky-Swallowing Toad, Crimson Demon, Cloud-Soaring Immortal Crane, Unicorn Thunder Ice Beast, Six-Eared Clear Sound Bat... S-grade and SS-grade tamed beasts appeared one after another, condensing their skills.
The soldiers on the city wall also began condensing their Sky Techniques.
Sky Techniques such as the former [Explosive Fire Rain], [Ice Arrow Rain], and [Golden Blade Arrow Rain] reappeared.
With the increase in strength, these arrow rains were wider in range and greater in power this time.
Five million Third Generation Gu Worms were entangled by the Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast and the Second Generation Black Slime Worms, but the million Third Generation Gu Worms released earlier were standing by.
Under Little Gu's command, these million Third Generation Gu Worms began condensing the [Crystal Arrow Rain].
During the last beast tide, the [Crystal Arrow Rain] only occupied less than one-fifth of the area, but this time, it nearly covered half the sky.
Extremely exaggerated!
Chen Fei gave a command, "Little Gu, you go too!"
However, before Little Gu went, Chen Fei first upgraded its [Crystal Arrow Rain] to Flawless Grade as well.
[Crystal Arrow Rain proficiency: Peak Grade → Flawless Grade.
Advantages brought by the upgrade:
1. Crystal size increased from 4 meters in height to 8 meters in height. (Falling vertically downwards.)
2. Crystal quantity increased from 500 to 2,000, and each crystal is surrounded by 50 smaller crystals.
3. After each crystal finishes falling, it will explode within 3 seconds.
Note: After the upgrade, it can cause fatal injuries to creatures within the 6th Tier of strength. If the creature is above the 6th Tier and does not use protective skills, there is still a chance to cause fatal injuries.]
This was still not enough. Chen Fei even upgraded the matching [Gravity Crystal] usage to Flawless Grade, leaving 9 million slaughter value remaining.
The increased gravity reached an astonishing 16 times its original strength.
Cheng Jingjing waved her hand and shouted, "Release!"
All the major arrow rains began to fall rapidly at this moment.
Red, white, gold, glazed colors... all plummeted downward one by one.
The sky was painted with various colors at this moment, making for a spectacular sight.
However, beneath this beautiful exterior lay ultimate killing intent.
"Boom~"
"Boom~"
Sound after sound—it was the sound of smashing into flesh and hitting the ground, deafening, even drowning out the roars of the beast horde.
The entire world became noisy, yet simultaneously quiet.
Besides the sound of impact, you couldn't hear anything else, but your mind was cleared at that moment.
You wouldn't think of anything, nor would you have any distracting thoughts; only the present moment remained.
Ximen Lingyun, Jiang Yiyi, Tang Jian, Shen Lin... these people who had never been on a battlefield were completely stunned at this moment.
So this was what a true battlefield looked like.
So the scale of the war was actually this massive.
So personal strength truly counted for nothing in a battle like this.
No!
If there was anyone different, it was Chen Fei.
The Earth-Splitting Demon Worm still used [Magnetic Field Shield] to protect the beast horde behind it.
The vast majority of Sky Techniques were blocked, and those that weren't blocked didn't cause too much lethality to this group of Fourth-Level Beasts.
If this were Third-level Beasts, there would definitely be widespread casualties.
But these were Fourth-Level Beasts; they weren't so easily dealt with.
However!
An incomparably dazzling cluster of crystals condensed in the sky.
Every crystal was as tall as two or three stories, extremely exaggerated.
And there weren't just one or two crystals of this size, but thousands.
Under the enhancement of 16 times gravity, these crystals descended rapidly.
Don't forget, Little Gu was currently using glazed immortal crystal, and its sharpness could easily slice through the Earth-Splitting Demon Worm's [Magnetic Field Shield].
Even Yao Beasts known for their defensive capabilities, such as turtle species, couldn't withstand it.
Chen Fei didn't know if the Ten Evil Kings possessed even greater power.
But Holy Crystal was indeed the Peak of this continent.
One more point: Little Gu was already a fifth-tier tamed beast, and the power of the arrow rain would only be more exaggerated.
[Killed a Fourth-Level 5th Tier Fierce-Eyed Evil Spider, slaughter value +400.]
[Killed a Fourth-Level 8th Tier Earth-Splitting Demon Worm, slaughter value +520.]
[Killed a Fourth-Level 9th Tier Four-Chain Vortex Beast, slaughter value +600.]
[...]
Furthermore, the crystals that finished falling didn't vanish immediately; instead, they exploded after 3 seconds, tearing apart the surrounding Evil Beasts.
With this single strike, Little Gu slaughtered over twenty thousand Fourth-Level Evil Beasts.
The slaughter value skyrocketed again, increasing from 9 million to over 22 million.
The Mianling Ghost Tree watched this scene, its eyes splitting with fury: "Impossible! This is absolutely not the power that an ordinary Fourth-Level Beast can unleash."
The Master hidden in the shadows also paused, internally shaken.
In just half an hour, its opinion of Chen Fei had repeatedly changed.
Simply because Chen Fei's three successive actions displayed different strengths, all exceeding its expectations...
