102: Chapter 102 Support, Overload
But even though they rushed over, they were already covered in wounds.
The fur on their bodies had long since been completely eroded away by the Corrosive Rain and Corrosive Poison Barrier.
With nothing left but red flesh sprinting across the desert, the scene was incredibly bloody.
Then, dozens of giant tentacles burst directly out from the ground and smashed crazily toward these ferocious beasts.
Rumble~ Rumble~
Another earth-shaking tremor followed.
The evolved Venomous Touch had indeed become much sturdier; it didn't even break on the spot when striking those high-level beasts with awakened bloodlines.
Tang Mo fought while retreating, all the while keeping an eye on his skill cooldowns. There was no other way; the number of beasts in the horde was simply too great.
"Realm of Death!"
In an instant, over thirty Highly Poisonous Skeletons swarmed out again, directly blocking the beasts in front for a moment.
They then burst apart, once again transforming into a dense cloud of poisonous gas.
After running and fighting for so long, these beasts were forced to gasp for air, allowing the poisonous gas to seep in. In an instant, the stacks of poison inside these beasts rose significantly once again.
【Killed Level 90 Rock Giant Turtle, EXP +3101322, Poison Damage +2, Stamina +1, Spirit +1】
【Obtained Diamond-grade Giant Turtle Breastplate, Stamina +155000, Damage Reduction +30%, Critical Hit +50%, Active Skill: Rock Armor Summon. Equipment Requirement: Level 90.】
【Killed Level 85 Three-Legged Sky Eagle, EXP +812345, Poison Damage +2, Stamina +1, Spirit +1】
【Obtained Eagle Beak *1】
...
In an instant, a beam of white light shot out from Tang Mo's body; he had leveled up.
The giant tentacles on the ground had been battered into tatters by the beast horde's impact, and they were now causing almost no damage.
Tang Mo had no choice but to pull back his Poison Barrier, Poison Rain, and other skills.
The cooldown for the poison spirit doll was relatively fast; in this short time, Tang Mo had already thrown out three of them.
It was fortunate that the poison spirit doll dealt extremely high damage and could respawn without risk, which allowed him to repel the beasts about to charge up time and again.
"The two of you, go help that little kid; his level is still a bit too low, after all."
Yao Kangbo said with a smile to Du Zhengyang and the other two.
As for himself, he had to remain in the monitoring room to continue commanding the situation.
Upon hearing this, Du Zhengyang and the others were immediately thrilled. They were eager to perform well in front of Tang Mo so they could try to recruit him into their own university.
To ensure nothing went wrong, Yao Kangbo specifically dispatched a demolition squad to accompany them.
The members of the demolition squad were all Professionals who had mastered weapons of mass destruction or large-scale destructive skills, making them perfect for dealing with the beast horde.
On Tang Mo's side, he continued to fight while retreating. Although he could inflict effective damage on the beast horde, the number of beasts was simply too vast, and he could not hold them off alone.
"Let's go help him too!"
Some of the invigilators inside the examination base couldn't help but say.
If even a candidate dared to face the beast horde head-on, they certainly shouldn't be hiding inside the base.
Besides, if the beast horde really charged over, this examination base probably wouldn't be able to stop them either.
As the person in charge of the examination base, Lu Jian'an could no longer sit idly by.
"Activate the base defense system, aim the giant crossbows at the beast horde, and provide cover for that candidate."
"Except for those controlling the beasts inside the base, everyone else come out with me to face the enemy!"
"Roar!"
At this moment, not a single person in the entire base retreated; everyone was filled with high fighting spirit.
"Highly Toxic Tornado!"
"poison spirit doll!"
"Poison Burst Spider!"
"Piercing Poison Arrow!"
"Venomous Touch!"
Tang Mo had already lost count of how many skills he had unleashed; as soon as a skill's cooldown finished, he would immediately cast it toward the beast horde.
Boom rumble~ Boom rumble~
A continuous sound of explosions rang out again.
Accompanying the explosions were the incessant kill notifications, which were so noisy that Tang Mo's brain felt like it was throbbing.
"Attention! Do not get close to the dark green gas around him; that thing seems to be poisonous."
Recalling what he had seen in the base, Lu Jian'an inferred the function of the Corrosive Poison Barrier after seeing the beast horde enter it, and immediately spoke to those around him.
"Giant crossbows, aim for those beasts rushing up and lighten his burden. Everyone else, watch the student's position when casting skills; don't accidentally hurt him."
"Yes!"
Lu Jian'an made the first move. He clenched his right fist, slanted his body, and then threw a punch.
"Haymaker!"
A powerful shockwave immediately plowed a deep trench into the sand on the ground.
The few beasts rushing at the very front were instantly sent flying far away, but Lu Jian'an's punch energy was exhausted in the process.
"Lightning Poison Dragon Drill!"
"Water Dragon Bullet!"
"Earth Cart!"
...
One after another, over a dozen skills whistled past Tang Mo and struck the beast horde, achieving more or less good results.
For a moment, Tang Mo felt his pressure greatly reduced.
"Flame Jet!"
"Water Bullet Impact!"
Tang Mo, having freed up his hands, directly released the skills attached to his equipment.
Although the damage wasn't very high, it could still slow down the impact of some beasts.
"Ribbit!"
Just at this moment, a crisp croak suddenly rang out, and then a giant figure abruptly appeared before Tang Mo's eyes.
Water-Fire Poison Toad, the BOSS of the Poison Thunder Marsh Secret Realm.
After equipping the Diamond-grade Poison Toad Staff, Tang Mo's attacks had a certain chance to summon a Water-Fire Poison Toad to assist in battle.
However, the attributes of the summoned Water-Fire Poison Toad were not as high as the real BOSS.
As soon as the Water-Fire Poison Toad appeared, it unleashed a massive Flame Jet, which was much more spectacular than what Tang Mo had just released.
But under the impact of the beast horde, the Flame Jet was quickly extinguished.
Then the Water-Fire Poison Toad released Water Bullet Impact and Hypnotic Sound Waves, but these only blocked them for a moment.
In the end, even the Water-Fire Poison Toad itself was buried within the beast horde.
Seeing the beast horde getting closer and closer to the examination base, and knowing that behind it was the venue for the Unified Examination, Tang Mo's eyes suddenly became determined.
If Tang Mo had initially just wanted to test his own strength, now he had a reason that he had to act.
The thousands of candidates in the examination venue behind Tang Mo were the future hope of Great Xia; if something really went wrong, it would inevitably have serious consequences for the entire nation.
"It seems I have no choice but to use that skill; I hope it can delay them for a while longer until reinforcements arrive."
Tang Mo kept chanting an incantation, and then a Highly Toxic Tornado rose directly from the ground, followed by a second, a third... until the tenth tornado appeared, at which point Tang Mo stopped.
This was the skill attached to Tang Mo's Diamond-grade Poison Toad Magic Hat: Overload.
It could ignore skill cooldowns and fire ten times in a row, after which it would enter an ultra-long cooldown period equal to the sum of the cooldowns of those ten skills.
The ten giant tornadoes blocked the front of the beast horde, and countless beasts were directly sucked into them by the tornadoes' immense suction force.
The beast horde's advance was truly halted for the first time.
It had to be said, the power of a God-level Skill was terrifyingly immense.
