83: Elite Monster Appears

Under the long-range suppression of the Arrow Towers, Bai Lingyue's large-scale Spell clear-out, Gun Gun's brave close-quarters combat, and the Soldiers' desperate resistance, the territory temporarily withstood the first wave of attacks.

This was only the beginning.

The distant volcano was still erupting continuously, and more Fire-element mutated beasts were constantly pouring out from the ground fissures and around the volcano, joining the beast tide.

The true test was yet to come.

Moreover, the BOSS had not yet appeared.

The second wave of attacks arrived.

It was even more ferocious than the first wave!

Flame Demons began to appear in groups, waving their thick arms made of flames, continuously throwing fist-sized fireballs that smashed against the wooden palisade.

Boom! Boom!

Fireballs exploded on the palisade, splattering patches of charred marks, with wood splinters flying everywhere.

Some areas even began to emit black smoke, and the air was filled with a pungent burnt smell.

"Roar!"

A portion of the Fire Lizards noticed that the territory gate was a weak point, so they concentrated their strength to assault the gate.

They violently rammed it with their bodies covered in high-temperature scales, emitting loud "thudding" sounds.

Sharp claws carved deep marks on the gate planks, and sparks flew.

"Oh no, they're attacking the gate!" A Soldier exclaimed.

Bai Lingyue made a decisive decision: "Archers, focus fire on the Fire Lizards in the direction of the gate!"

Her figure flickered, and she leaped directly from the wall, landing steadily behind the gate.

"All spearmen, follow me to defend the gate! We absolutely cannot let them break through!"

"Yes, Commander Bai!"

She directed the Soldiers to counterattack.

The Flame Demons' fire attacks from a distance became increasingly dense.

They continuously threw fireballs, attempting to ignite the palisade.

"Sizzle..."

Multiple areas of the palisade were already charred black.

[Hint: Frost Arrow Tower energy is about to be depleted, please replenish it as soon as possible!]

Just then, the attack frequency of the six Frost Arrow Towers decreased, and the power of the Frost Arrows they shot also weakened considerably.

Mo Yan frowned, took out a large bag of primordial stones from his storage space, which contained about five hundred pieces.

He looked at Wang Wu, who was leading the Archers in frantic shooting, and sternly said, "Wang Wu!"

Wang Wu heard the call and quickly turned around: "My Lord!"

"Take these primordial stones and immediately replenish the energy of all Frost Arrow Towers, quickly!" Mo Yan threw the bag of primordial stones over.

"Yes, My Lord!" Wang Wu took the heavy bag of primordial stones, not daring to delay, and immediately rushed to each Arrow Tower.

The primordial stones were quickly filled into the Arrow Tower's energy core, and a faint blue light once again lit up from the tower body, with the attack frequency and power recovering accordingly.

However, the beast tide's offensive was too fierce; even with the suppression of the Frost Arrow Towers, Soldiers were still constantly getting injured.

"Ah!" A Soldier failed to dodge in time and was grazed by a fireball thrown by a Flame Demon, instantly tearing his skin and flesh, letting out a painful scream.

The high temperature of the flames melted and deformed the leather armor on his arm, emitting a burnt smell.

"Quick, send him to the medical hall!" The nearby Squad Leader shouted loudly.

Mo Yan looked down at the battlefield below, his expression calm, and ordered Lu Mingyuan, who was waiting for instructions:

"Mingyuan, notify Zhou Zhi to immediately prepare a sufficient amount of Ling food. I will arrange for Soldiers to rotate in batches to replenish their stamina!"

"Additionally, tell Li Gang and the others in the Weapon Workshop to fully concentrate on producing arrows, especially heavy arrows, and send them to the wall. There can be no mistakes!"

Lu Mingyuan's forehead was beaded with sweat, and he quickly responded: "Yes, My Lord, I will arrange it immediately!"

Mo Yan surveyed the entire battlefield.

"Pfft!"

Just as he was Divided Soul for a moment, a cunning Fire Lizard actually climbed onto the wall through a burnt gap in the wall!

It opened its gaping maw, exhaling a hot breath with a sulfurous smell, and bit towards an Archer who was drawing his bow.

The Archer was greatly alarmed and tried to dodge, but it was already too late.

"Seeking death!"

Mo Yan snorted coldly, his figure flickered, and the Star Stepping Art was pushed to its limit, instantly appearing in front of the Archer.

Clang!

The Frost Sword was unsheathed, and a cold sword light slashed out.

The Fire Lizard's movement came to an abrupt halt, its body neatly split in half from the middle, with dark red blood and internal organs scattered on the ground.

"Th-thank you, My Lord!" The rescued Archer, still shaken, quickly expressed his gratitude.

Mo Yan paid no attention, his gaze once again cast towards the beast tide below.

Every single second, mutated beasts fell, and similarly, Soldiers were injured.

"Roar—!"

Suddenly, several deeper and more imposing roars rang out, overpowering the hissing of the ordinary Fire Lizards.

Several massive Fire Lizards, far larger than their counterparts, charged forward like small trucks.

Their dark red scales shimmered with an almost black eerie glow, with fiery orange-red flames at the edges.

Even more striking was the appearance of a dozen or so Flame Demons, at least three meters tall, behind these giant Fire Lizards!

These Flame Demons were more than just a circle larger than the previous cannon fodder Flame Demons.

Their entire bodies were composed of more solidified magma, and their obsidian-like bodies were covered with dark red glowing cracks.

In their hands were no longer simple flames, but massive, condensed magma claws.

"Elite Flame Demons and Fire Lizards!" Mo Yan's pupils constricted slightly, and his heart sank.

The appearance of these Elite monsters instantly increased the pressure on the defensive line.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Several Elite Fire Lizards lowered their heads and violently rammed the territory gate with their hard heads.

Each impact caused the gate to groan under the strain.

"Crack—"

Fine cracks spread across the thick wooden gate.

"My Lord, the gate can't hold much longer!" The Soldiers guarding the gate turned pale.

Mo Yan stood on the wall, his gaze cold as he watched the rampaging Elite mutated beasts below.

The destructive power of these Elite monsters was too strong; if they were allowed to continue attacking, the territory's defenses would quickly collapse.

He let out a low cry to Gun Gun beside him: "Gun Gun, come with me, let's deal with those big guys in front of the gate first!"

Gun Gun was already eager to try, and upon hearing Mo Yan's call, he burst forth with astonishing Battle Intent: "Beat bad guys!"

Following closely behind Mo Yan, he leaped directly from the wall.

An Elite Fire Lizard was lowering its head, preparing to ram the gate again.

A sharp sword light had already descended from the sky!

"Beast, seeking death!" Mo Yan coldly shouted.

The Elite Fire Lizard sensed danger, suddenly looked up, opened its gaping maw, and a scorching Dragon's Breath spewed out!

Mo Yan's figure flickered, dodging the Dragon's Breath, his sword momentum undiminished.

The Frost Sword pierced into the Elite Fire Lizard's left eye.

"Awoo—!"

The Elite Fire Lizard let out a painful roar, its massive body thrashing wildly.

But Mo Yan's attack did not end there; the sword twisted, and cold Qi erupted, rapidly forming a layer of frost at the wound.

Its thrashing movements even slowed down!

Just then, Gun Gun had already arrived!

A faint blue spiritual light flowed over his bamboo body.

It smashed onto the head of the injured Elite Fire Lizard.

Bang!

The Elite Fire Lizard's head instantly exploded.

Compared to ordinary Fire Lizards, these Elite-level fellows were tough and thick-skinned, but under the combined attack of Mo Yan and Gun Gun, they were easily taken down.
