115: Eight-clawed Beast King (Part 1)

Boom boom boom!!!

Amidst the explosions, numerous monsters near the incendiary bombs were directly harvested of their lives, without the slightest mercy.

Rising heat accompanied by surging aftershocks spread out.

The airwaves stirred up by the aftershocks swept across the surroundings like a sky-darkening curtain, overturning countless monsters within dozens of meters.

In this spreading orange firelight, even more sea monsters died from the scorching flames.

Painful roars and hisses echoed everywhere, but no matter how these sea monsters submerged themselves in the water or rolled around trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies, it was all in vain.

Ultimately, it was all futile; they couldn't avoid these incendiary bombs, which were like maggots clinging to bone.

The reason was simple:

Incendiary bombs not only don't extinguish in water but tend to intensify.

After all, they are the crystallization of human scientists' and military strategists' wisdom.

The appearance of these incendiary bombs was entirely for the purpose of combating sea monsters.

Water and fire are incompatible, just like the relationship between humans and monsters; only one can exist.

Another reason is also very simple.

These sea monsters naturally have a lot of water in their bodies, occupying ninety percent of their volume.

After experiencing these high-heat, high-temperature incendiary bombs, they quickly shriveled into dry clumps of flesh.

It must be said that while hatred can make people lose their minds, for avengers, it is also a potent stimulant.

The tragedy of Modu Base City profoundly stimulated scientists in Modu and even throughout China.

They poured their hearts and souls into their work, desperately researching the latest technology to deal with these ferocious and terrifying monsters.

Their revenge and madness also enabled human technology to achieve many breakthroughs from zero to one, from nothing to something.

After all, the vast majority of this batch of scientists were survivors of the first Modu Base City beast tide battle.

It can be said without exaggeration that hundreds of thousands of ordinary soldiers and quite a few martial artists sacrificed themselves for the retreat of these top scientists.

Therefore, their potential was forced out by hatred!!

At this moment, the river basin guarded by Huangpu River Base was subjected to an unprecedented monster charge.

At the same time, Songjiang Base, another crucial defense line of Modu Base City, also faced continuous incursions from the sea.

Even with countless monsters as the enemy, humanity's counterattack never stopped for a moment.

Fierce battles and blazing firelight appeared everywhere on this battlefield.

Deafening roars and monster wails swept over, overwhelming everything.

Even in the center of Modu Base City, nearly a hundred kilometers away, these earth-shattering roars could be clearly heard.

The sky-high flames burned from dusk till deep into the night, never ceasing.

At the same time,

One helicopter, fighter jet after another, fully loaded with ammunition and various weapons and equipment, took off from various military airports in Modu Base City, continuously supporting the front lines.

The war between humans and monsters has never been a short one.

This kind of large-scale war is often a protracted war of attrition.

It consumes not only manpower, material resources, and financial resources, but also a large number of martial artists' lives.

The ultimate goal is merely to resist these terrifying sea monsters, keep them out of the territory, and protect a region's peace and safety.

At this moment, the monsters gathered in front of the Huangpu River and Songjiang bases were increasing, a dense, dark mass of unknown numbers.

And the battle intensified, with the situation escalating layer by layer... Pfft!!

In a section of the river, Ma Liang beheaded a High-level Lord crab monster, then locked onto another octopus monster that was baring its fangs and claws elsewhere.

The more monsters he killed, the more puzzled this sole Planetary-level martial artist of Modu City became.

For no other reason than this battle saw an excessively large number of octopus monsters, not only many Lord-level octopuses but also a majority of Beast General-level monsters.

One by one, they twisted their massive bodies, their eight enormous long legs swimming rapidly in the river, surging towards the human base defense line.

Behind Ma Liang, not far from the defensive base,

six God of War martial artists formed two small battle formations of three, becoming the first line of defense against these monsters.

Above them, a firepower blockade composed of helicopters, bombers, interceptors, fighter jets, and drones poured tons of ammunition directly into the sea monsters, the scorching high temperatures taking away swathes of monsters, turning them into charcoal, withering in the flames.

The explosive airwaves raged, also tearing apart large numbers of monsters.

On the steel fortresses further away, countless dark muzzles of cannons and machine guns roared continuously, emitting blue fire.

Streaks of terrifyingly powerful light also shot into the sea monster hordes, piercing through the bodies of one monster after another, causing them to die in wails.

"These monsters, there are truly many of them!"

At the bottom of the murky Huangpu River, Ma Yuan faced the attack of countless monsters alone, heavily surrounded.

As far as the eye could see, he saw hundreds of thousands of different types of fish monsters, as well as shell and arthropod monsters.

"If only I were a Psycher Master, I could kill them in huge numbers!"

Through repeated high-intensity slaughter, Ma Yuan truly understood the importance of Psycher Masters in monster battles.

Similarly, fighting these monsters made Ma Yuan realize the enormous threat sea monsters posed to humanity.

These terrifying monsters, counterattacking inland cities from the estuaries, would sooner or later break through a defense line.

Although this speculation was somewhat unbelievable,

even a powerful Planetary-level martial artist like Ma Yuan couldn't help but feel such a terrifying sensation.

The reason was simple:

Compared to the monstrous number of mutated monsters, the number of human martial artists was only about a million.

Moreover, living in a natural world of 'survival of the fittest,' they had long developed extremely cruel natures.

Even among monsters, there was fierce competition.

The strong continued to evolve, while the weak were naturally eliminated.

Under such brutal laws, the overall mutation level of the monster population far exceeded that of human martial artists.

Coupled with their inherently terrifying numbers, the threat they could pose to humanity was immense.

If humanity could not produce absolute combat power to severely suppress these monsters,

these constantly mutating powerful monsters would eventually sweep away human bases one by one, attacking humanity's last safe havens.

As soon as he thought of this, Ma Yuan's fighting spirit erupted, and he continued to dive downwards.

Gurgle gurgle!!

Behind him, strings of human-head-sized bubbles floated directly to the river surface,

but more of them were easily torn apart in the surging monster tide.

His goal was only one—

to forcefully stop the advance of those High-level monsters at the bottom of the Huangpu River.

Not an inch further!
