65: Chapter 65: Kill Points Surge, Exchange for Divine Skills!
The torrential rain continued to fall, but on the sea wall, the sound of gunfire and artillery had already drowned out the thunder.
"Da da da da da—!!!"
Over three hundred automatic rifles hovered in mid-air, woven into an impenetrable net of death under the precise control of Lin Yuan's Spiritual Telekinesis.
Every second, hundreds of shell casings rained down from the sky, clattering against the concrete sea wall and piling up into a thick layer.
Below the sea wall, the army of the Sea Race, which had originally surged forward like a black tide, was now suffering a one-sided massacre.
[System notification spamming...]
[Killed Second Grade Iron-Clad Giant Crab! slaughter value +50!]
[Killed Second Grade Iron-Clad Giant Crab! slaughter value +50!]
[Killed Third Grade Deep Sea Fishman (Elite)! slaughter value +100!]
[Double Kill! Triple Kill! Godlike!]
[Current total slaughter value: 52,300 points!]
Lin Yuan hovered in mid-air. In his field of vision, the hideous and terrifying faces of the aliens below had all turned into walking "experience packs."
"Too slow... Still not enough!"
Lin Yuan even felt that the speed at which the monsters surged up could not keep up with his speed of slaughter.
"Is this war?"
Lin Yuan licked his somewhat chapped lips. The thrill of watching the numbers jump crazily made every cell in his body tremble: "How is this a meat grinder? This is clearly my gold mine!"
In just ten minutes, fifty thousand points of slaughter value!
In normal missions, this would take at least half a month of running until his legs broke, but here, he only needed to move his fingers and pull the trigger.
"Xiang Lie! Hammer those big crabs trying to climb up back down! Don't let them interfere with my farming... Ahem, don't let them break the defense line!"
While commanding the gun formation to provide covering fire, Lin Yuan shouted at Xiang Lie below.
"Roar! Got it!"
Xiang Lie was also red-eyed from the killing, covered in blood like a god of war. With one punch for each little friend, he smashed all the stragglers attempting to approach the embankment.
Meanwhile, Su Xiaoxiao manned her "Thunderfire Heavy Cannon," specifically targeting those thick-skinned elite monsters.
The three-person team managed to display the momentum of a thousand troops.
However, the situation on the battlefield changed in an instant.
Just as Lin Yuan was immersed in the thrill of crazy farming, a chilling sensation suddenly shot from the soles of his feet straight to his skull.
Splash—!!!
In the black sea below the embankment, the Deep Sea Demon Octopus, which had been lurking in the shadows with Fourth Grade Peak strength, finally moved.
Its basin-sized, dark green eyes locked onto the human in the air who had caused the most damage to its descendants.
"Hiss—!!!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Eight giant tentacles, as thick as pythons and covered in suckers and barbs, burst out of the water without warning!
Their speed was extreme, like eight black spears piercing toward Lin Yuan in the air from all directions simultaneously.
"Not good!"
Lin Yuan's pupils contracted sharply.
These eight tentacles blocked all his evasion space, and the surface of the tentacles was covered with a layer of dark green poisonous mucus; once contaminated, even Third Grade Golden Bones would instantly fester.
"Shield! Activate!"
Hum—!
With a thought from Lin Yuan, the S-grade treasure he had just exchanged for, the Flowing Cloud Telekinetic Armor, activated instantly. A layer of silver-white liquid metal quickly covered his entire body, while simultaneously propping up a half-meter-thick telekinetic shield on his body surface.
Clap! Clap! Clap!
Several tentacles lashed fiercely against the shield.
The immense force made Lin Yuan feel as if he had been struck by several high-speed trains simultaneously.
Crack!
The sturdy telekinetic shield lasted less than a second before it was covered in cracks.
"Damn it! Is this the power of a Fourth Grade Peak?"
Lin Yuan was shaken by the huge recoil, his blood surging, and his body swayed violently in the air.
Even worse, the Deep Sea Demon Octopus did not stop. Its massive main body began to climb up the embankment along its tentacles, opening its fang-filled mouthparts, preparing to give this trapped human a breath of lethal poison mist.
"Physical attacks can't penetrate its soft structure..."
"Mental attacks also have limited effect on such low-intelligence soft-bodied creatures..."
In the desperate situation, Lin Yuan's brain raced.
His consciousness instantly sank into the [System Mall 2.0 (War Edition)] in his mind.
Looking at the balance of over 50,000 slaughter value, a ruthless look flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.
"Aquatic creatures... what are they most afraid of?"
"Of course, it's electricity!"
Lin Yuan's gaze instantly locked onto an item in the mall's skill list.
[Primary Lightning Method · Palm Lightning (Max Level)]
[Description: Invoke Nine Heavens Divine Thunder to cause devastating lightning strikes on single or small-area targets. Max Level Special Effect: Lightning Liquefaction, possessing extremely strong conductivity and paralytic effects.]
[Exchange Price: 30,000 slaughter value!]
Although it was only "Primary Lightning Method," the words "Max Level" were enough to cause a qualitative change!
"Buy it!!"
Without any hesitation.
[Ding! Consumed 30,000 slaughter value! Exchange successful!]
[Skill infusion in progress...]
Boom!
Outside, it was only a split second.
Trapped tightly by the eight tentacles and on the verge of being crushed into meat paste, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
At that moment, deep within his pupils, it seemed as if two bolts of blue-purple lightning exploded.
A violent, destructive aura, representing divine punishment, erupted from his not-so-tall body.
Lin Yuan no longer dodged, no longer defended.
"Then let's see whether your skin is thick..."
"Or my lightning is strong enough!"
Lin Yuan stretched out his right hand, palm facing down, aiming at the Deep Sea Demon Octopus's forehead.
[Palm Lightning · Ten Thousand Volt Divine Punishment!]
"Lightning, come!!!"
Rumble—!!!
The originally pitch-black and oppressive sky was suddenly torn apart by a blinding blue-purple light.
A bolt of liquid lightning, as thick as a water bucket, followed Lin Yuan's palm and struck down with the power to destroy the heavens and earth!
Sizzle sizzle sizzle—!!!
Lightning is the nemesis of water.
And seawater is the best conductor.
When that violent lightning touched the skin of the Deep Sea Demon Octopus, it was like a spark falling into a frying pan.
The high-voltage current instantly spread throughout its massive body, even conducting into the surrounding seawater along its tentacles.
"Awoo—!!!"
Its originally soft and flexible tentacles instantly became stiff and twitched; its massive body trembled violently, and countless dark green juices were evaporated under the high temperature, emitting rolling white smoke.
Crackle!
Electric arcs leaped.
In just a few seconds.
A mouth-watering... oh no, nauseating burnt smell mixed with a strange meaty aroma permeated the entire C-zone position.
That was... the smell of grilled octopus.
"Die!"
Taking advantage of the moment the BOSS was paralyzed by the lightning, Lin Yuan did not hold back at all.
Swish!
The "black moon" battle saber on his back turned into a black lightning bolt. Under the enhancement of Spiritual Telekinesis, it precisely pierced into the Deep Sea Demon Octopus's giant eyeball and then penetrated its brain core!
Puchi!
Green blood splattered.
That Fourth Grade Peak sea beast, which had been rampaging for half the night, saw its massive body collapse with a crash, slamming heavily onto the sea wall, never to make a sound again.
[Ding! Killed Fourth Grade Peak alien · Deep Sea Demon Octopus!]
[Cross-grade kill reward! slaughter value +5000!]
With the death of their leader, the fishmen and giant crabs that were still attacking crazily below the sea wall seemed to have lost their backbone and instantly fell into chaos.
"Squeak..."
Don't know which fishman called out first, but the remaining Sea Race army began to retreat like a tide, scrambling to jump back into the sea.
C-zone defense line... held!
"Whew."
Lin Yuan slowly descended from the air. At this moment, his face was a bit pale, but he didn't rest immediately. Instead, he stepped on the giant octopus corpse and pulled out his battle saber.
The rain stopped.
"Rumble..."
In the distance, a team of heavy armored vehicles arriving from the main base finally arrived late.
The car doors opened, and the One-Eyed Old Ghost, who was previously responsible for the rendezvous, jumped out of the car with the strength of a reinforced battalion, full of murderous aura.
"Quick! First Battalion, lock down the left flank! Second Battalion, lock down the right flank! Medics, go up and save people!"
The One-Eyed Old Ghost shouted while gripping the gun in his hand; he had already prepared for the worst.
The C-zone defense line only had a hundred remnants. Facing a Fourth Grade beast king and the beast tide, in his opinion, those few students were probably torn to pieces long ago, and the position had likely already fallen.
He was here to collect the bodies and also to fight desperately to retake the position.
However, when he rushed up the embankment and saw the scene before him.
That one eye widened suddenly, and the unlit cigarette dangling from his mouth dropped to the ground with a plop.
In sight was a mountain of corpses piled up from countless fishmen and giant crabs.
And at the very top of the corpse mountain, the Fourth Grade Deep Sea Demon Octopus, which had caused the entire defense zone such a headache, now looked like a giant piece of charcoal, emitting an alluring meaty aroma.
On top of that giant corpse, a teenager in a torn black uniform was standing there, using the light of the searchlight to carefully wipe the battle saber in his hand.
Hearing the commotion, the teenager turned his head.
He looked at the dumbfounded One-Eyed Old Ghost and grinned: "Officer, sorry."
"Got a little too carried away with the killing..."
Lin Yuan pointed at the mountain of "seafood," his tone carrying a sense of lingering regret:
"There weren't enough monsters to go around, so I didn't leave any for you."
One-Eyed Old Ghost: "..."
Soldiers of the reinforced battalion: "..."
At this moment, everyone felt their throats go a bit dry.
Is this f*cking a rookie?
This is clearly a god of slaughter who just crawled out of hell!
