Chapter 107 Wyvern
The creatures were diverse, with giant beetles covered in thick shells smashing through obstacles like bulldozers, and giant deer several meters tall walking side by side with brown bears covered in bone spurs.
There are also giant rock lizards with heavy tails, and a large number of deformed monsters that don't even have names.
According to the laws of nature, they should be hunter and prey tearing each other apart. But now they defy the norm, as if whipped by an invisible whip, running wildly toward the same destination.
These extraordinary creatures, with their strong sense of territory, would usually engage in a life-or-death struggle if anyone got too close, yet now they were gathered together like puppets on strings.
Accompanied by several long and piercing wolf howls.
Large numbers of dire wolves emerged from both sides of the mist. Contrary to their usual behavior, they abandoned the charge and instead dispersed along the edge of the pack, acting as sheepdogs to herd the flock.
As soon as any wild beast attempted to deviate from the planned route, the surrounding wolf pack would swarm and tear the escapee apart with their sharp teeth. Several enormous corpses lay in pools of blood, completely intimidating the remaining monsters and forcing the horde to continue its advance.
Shinzo understood the enemy's intentions.
Instead of relying on their own kind to wear down the defenses on the city walls, they drove all the prey they could find in the wilderness to this location. All the extraordinary creatures in the entire ecosystem became expendable resources used to level the walls.
"How could this happen—" The old soldier next to him said, his voice dry and his legs trembling.
It's hard to imagine that they are now having to contend with the weight of the entire wilderness.
Just then, the sky darkened.
Initially, no one noticed anything unusual.
Until a huge shadow slowly swept across the city wall.
Xin An subconsciously looked up.
Then his breathing paused slightly.
The fog of war was torn apart by the gale.
A colossal creature is hovering among the clouds.
It has a lizard-like, slender body.
The hind limbs are thick and powerful.
Huge dragon wings replaced the forelimbs, and each flap of them stirred up visible air currents.
Its entire body is covered in dark green scales.
His abdomen was covered with ancient and gruesome scars.
Its golden vertical pupils coldly surveyed the city below.
A natural disaster that truly stands at the top of the food chain.
Wyvern
[Rank: Second Rank]
【Characteristics: Ruler of the skies (possesses the ability to fly over extremely long distances), Dragon-like (lower-ranking creatures are instinctively afraid), Venomous breath (spews a large-scale corrosive venomous mist), Iron scales (possesses extremely strong defensive capabilities)】
[Description: Predators at the top of the wilderness. Even packs of alien dire wolves dare not invade the territory of an adult wyvern. They possess overwhelming aerial mobility and immense vitality, making them scourges capable of single-handedly destroying large tribes.]
Its broad wings spread fully in mid-air, with a rough estimate of its wingspan exceeding tens of meters. The violent air currents generated by its flapping wings stirred up a small storm across the wilderness. The beast horde on the ground immediately became restless.
Jane, hovering beside Xin'an, also stopped its erratic flying. The flashing emoticons on its square screen disappeared, replaced by a few lines of cold data prompts.
[Threat level reassessment in progress —] [Assessment complete.] [Conclusion: Extremely dangerous.]
After a brief calculation, the iron box turned to face Xin'an.
The former carefree and boisterousness is gone.
"Salary guaranteed."
"It seems like this time I really have to go all out." (「·ω·「)
However, the wyverns in the air did not seem to have any intention of attacking.
A second-tier familiar is still a wild beast, destined not to be easily controlled by a god at the divine seed stage.
But their mere existence drove the beasts underground to madness with fear.
As the distance closed, the tremors caused by the thousands of mutated beasts on the ground traveled along the bricks of the city wall all the way to the feet of the guards.
On a hidden high platform behind the city's defenses, Xin Zang gazed at the black torrent formed by countless colossal creatures converging before him.
He exhaled a breath of stale air, his gaze sweeping over the ferocious-looking beasts before finally settling on the seemingly flat land beneath their feet.
"Is it time? We've waited so long—"
Shinzo muttered to himself, "Now there is no god to guide me."
He must demonstrate the decisiveness and courage befitting a commander.
Then he turned his head and looked at the messenger beside him.
"Light it."
The sharp sound of horns exploded in the sky above the city walls.
Several Salvation Clan archers who had been waiting for a long time immediately stepped forward.
They drew specially made long arrows from a wooden box beside them, the arrowheads tightly wrapped with thick tinder. Dark golden flames flickered at the arrowheads, and the hand holding the bow drew back the string.
outside the city.
The alien species at the forefront could already make out the outline of the city walls. The heavily armored giant lizards and the enormous spiky brown bears, driven by the dire wolves, had their eyes bloodshot and were charging forward recklessly.
Just as they were crossing an area filled with blood and corpses, the ground beneath their feet suddenly collapsed in large areas without warning.
A network of narrow, crisscrossing channels was laid bare in broad daylight, like a giant net that had been laid out in advance, protecting the entire city behind it.
This is the underground project that the Xinzu people risked their lives to dig day and night a few days ago.
The ditch where Xinwu had collected the worms and fallen in was just a section of this massive project.
They are like some kind of deliberately forgotten blood vessels, running through the wilderness, ruins, and the entire plain beyond the city walls.
The previously concealed excavation marks were completely masked by the smell of corpses and rotting flesh, and even the dire wolves with their keen sense of smell did not notice that this land had already been "rewoven" anew.
The blood flowing through their veins is the true winning formula for the Salary Clan.
The magical liquid that craftsmen extracted day and night from coal mines within complex mineral veins was known as kerosene, a miraculous invention.
Above the sky, a streak of fire fell, leaving a bright trail behind it.
Several long arrows accurately pierced the ditch filled with kerosene.
The flames crawled along the ground.
It spread rapidly along the ditches, like boiling blood coursing through the meridians. The hidden oil forms a vast network in the underground, with each ditch serving as a fuel channel and each branch accelerating the fire.
In the blink of an eye, the first line of fire had already pierced through hundreds of meters.
Next, the second one.
Article 3.
Article 4.
The flames spread in a structured, network-like pattern underground, then accumulated enough power to erupt into the sky.
The giant deer of the wasteland, which was at the forefront of the beast tide, sensed the danger beneath its feet and let out a hurried neigh.
It hurriedly stopped its forward momentum, but it was too late.
The ground beneath the forelegs suddenly collapsed.
A thin crack extended outward from the point of stress, resembling a wound that had been suddenly torn open.
Intense light burst forth from the crack.
The entire concealed trench was illuminated at the same time.
boom!
The flames instantly engulfed the giant deer's forelimbs. It howled and retreated, only to crash heavily into a carapace monster behind it, which was also caught in the fire.
The flames intertwined and connected underground.
All the ditches are seamlessly integrated.
The massive beast tide descended into chaos.
The giant beetle instinctively closed its shell to block the high temperature, only to find that the flames ignored this defense.
The all-pervasive firelight poured in from their feet, from the seams of their bellies, and from every joint of their carapace.
The giant rock lizard writhed in agony on the ground, trying to extinguish the fire with its massive body, but the result was the opposite. Its heavy body collapsed more layers of soil, igniting an even more intense flame.
The air quickly became scorching hot.
The entire plain was radiating a dazzling red light.
