Chapter 120: Section 121: Fierce Battle
The Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa, awakened by the severe pain, had a bloody hole rammed through its body by the Strong Life White Rhinoceros. In a fit of rage, with a swing of its tail, the Bone Hammer struck the Strong Life White Rhinoceros so powerfully that it sent the behemoth flying. Only after covering more than twenty meters did it crash to the ground with a thunderous sound.
The Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa went berserk, repeatedly slamming its tail hammer, body, and even its head against the wooden wall.
Bang Bang Bang…
The wooden wall, unable to withstand the assault, soon began to moan as a multitude of cracks rapidly spread along each of the logs. Some fissures expanded continuously, even splintering off chips of wood.
If it continued to rampage like this, the wooden wall would quickly collapse.
“Cover me!” Zong Ge shouted, abandoning his plan to challenge Zhenjin in that moment. Clad in full body fine steel armor and with a thick rope tied around his waist, he leaped right off the top of the wooden wall.
...
While still in mid-air, Zong Ge swung his giant white bone hammer, smashing it down hard towards the Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa.
The Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa opened its gaping maw wide, craning its neck to swallow Zong Ge in one bite.
“Lord Zong Ge!” Sanda exclaimed.
Time seemed to slow in that moment as the distance between Zong Ge and the Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa rapidly closed.
Zong Ge could clearly see every detail of the Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa’s head, even the strands of flesh between its teeth were plainly visible.
“This beast reacts so quickly!” Zong Ge clenched his teeth. Hanging in mid-air, evasion was impossible without the aid of Fighting energy; he could only wait to be swallowed by the Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa before piercing through the snake’s body to escape.
But just then, two iron-headed arrows whizzed past Zong Ge, promptly and precisely striking both eyes of the Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa, blinding it.
“It’s Zhenjin! That support came right on time!” Zong Ge rejoiced internally, unable to help but admire Zhenjin’s timely intervention.
He didn’t need to look back to know that no one in the entire camp but Zhenjin could have shot such decisive arrows, not even Zong Ge himself.
It turned out, when Zhenjin saw Zong Ge leaping down to attack the Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa, he sensed something was amiss.
He had learned a lot of knowledge from Cang Xu.
The eyes of a crocodile are quite special, with strong visual capabilities, especially for observing the surface of the water from within. Without turning its head, merely by rotating its eyes, a crocodile could observe the entire water surface for any disturbances.
It was precisely with this talent that the crocodile detected its prey.
Zong Ge’s dive from above immediately triggered the Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa’s hunting instinct. Without thinking, it performed the predatory act of biting down.
Blinded by the arrows, the pain instantly caused the Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa’s attack to crumble. It fell to the ground, writhing and rolling, kicking up a huge dust cloud.
Within the dust, Zong Ge struck from midair, his white bone hammer squarely hitting the head of the Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa.
With a mighty crash, the Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa’s head, struck as if by a meteorite, endured an immense impact force, virtually embedding it into the ground.
The Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa lay still, its nostrils and eye sockets beginning to bleed.
The top of its head even caved in to a shocking degree.
But it was still alive—its Life Breath was noticeably present.
Zong Ge glanced at his own hand; it was still enclosed in a glove, but he knew he had split the skin of his palm.
The wooden handle that affixed the giant bone hammer also had a large crack.
That one strike had been delivered with all his might, truly ferocious!
“Useless piece of trash,” Zong Ge said with a curl of his lip before striding forward with his head held high.
The Crocodile Head Hammer Tail Boa, now devoid of its fighting strength, was dismissed from Zong Ge’s mind.
Several Monkey-tailed Brown Bears crawled out of a pit and charged at Zong Ge.
“Bring it on!” Holding his giant hammer, Zong Ge didn’t dodge or flinch; instead, he charged forward fiercely.
Then, he clashed violently with the Monkey-tailed Brown Bears, engaging in a brutal and bloody struggle that made the blood of any onlooking men boil.
Zong Ge displayed a savage valiance that was beyond human—a battle against multiple foes in which he managed to defeat several Monkey-tailed Brown Bears, throwing the spirits of these Silver Magical Beasts to rock bottom.
“This guy’s bloodline must be extraordinary!”
“His Cultivation has to be silver at the very least!”
Zhenjin, taking in the scene of Zong Ge battling, couldn’t help but be struck with awe.
Zong Ge’s displayed strength, whether in power, agility, or martial arts, completely surpassed the humanoid form of Zhenjin.
“Without using unique methods like releasing electricity to ensure victory, it’s tough for me to defeat Zong Ge in a one-on-one battle,” Zhenjin reflected on their difference in combat prowess.
“Quick, pull Lord Zong Ge up!”
After Zong Ge had fought furiously for a long time, single-handedly repelling over a dozen Silver Level Demon Beasts, he had temporarily kept the camp’s gate safe.
But in just a short moment, he was completely exhausted.
Seeing Zong Ge signaling his return, Sanda immediately ordered the men to turn the crank, activating the winch.
As the winch wheel rotated, it wound up the hemp rope.
The other end of the rope was attached to Zong Ge.
Thus, Zong Ge was hoisted back up by the rope around his waist.
No one found it curious or surprising, as Zong Ge had practiced this method of combat in public a few times already.
This tactic was particularly well-suited to Zong Ge; it wouldn’t work for anyone else.
Because only Zong Ge had a full set of fine steel armor— even if he were to be hit by an arrow, the iron arrowheads often failed to penetrate his steel armor.
With this layer of tight and robust protection, Zong Ge was safe from accidental injury by flying arrows, granting him the capacity to fight alone.
This practice run had proven just that.
All the arrows that struck Zong Ge were blocked by his fine steel armor. Other iron-headed arrows, however, were embedded in the bodies of the Silver Magical Beasts.
No longer did they exhibit their previous ferocity.
“Woof, woof, woof!” The sound of dog barking echoed through the forest.
A small squad of bat monkeys suddenly flew out and arrived above the battlefield.
They didn’t get too close because the camp was surrounded by smoke that the bat monkeys hated very much.
Still at a distance, the bat monkeys began to throw down the things in their hands.
Buzz buzz buzz…
The objects thrown into the camp broke upon hitting the ground, and from them flew out a large number of poisonous bees, precisely Fire Poison Bees!
The Fire Poison Bees dove straight for the bonfires.
The bonfires must not be extinguished, for once extinguished, without sight, there would be no hope of winning this battle.
“Looks like there really are Fire Poison Bees!” In the camp, Zi Di snorted coldly but didn’t panic; instead, a look of expectation appeared on her face.
“Release the smoke medicine!” At the top of the wooden wall, Zhenjin immediately ordered decisively.
The warriors guarding the bonfires, upon hearing the command, immediately took out a small potion bottle from their chests. They poured the potion onto the bonfires.
Quickly, the smoke that enveloped the camp changed!
“Quick, cover your nose and mouth with a wet cloth,” Hei Juan loudly reminded.
Zhenjin had once told everyone that the Blue Dog Fox Wolf could control other man-made magical beasts.
From this, Zi Di understood why the Blue Dog Fox Wolf that had previously brought the beehives and released Fire Poison Bees only attacked the exploration team and not itself.
Having suffered a loss once, Zi Di had made preparations in advance, specifically developing a smoke medicine to deal with the Fire Poison Bees.
The Fire Poison Bees flew into the smoke, at first, everything seemed normal.
But soon, as the smoke accumulated, it reached a tipping point, and the greasy dust covered the wings of the Fire Poison Bees.
The more the Fire Poison Bees struggled to flap their wings, the more smoke they collected, and the slower their speed became. In more severe cases, even their wings were stuck together by the smoke.
One by one, the Fire Poison Bees fell to the ground or onto the wooden wall.
The waiting crowd brandished their slaughter knives together, killing off this batch of Fire Poison Bees cleanly.
Howl—!
From the opposite forest came the howling of a wolf.
On the front side of the camp, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf had exhausted all means and had not yet broken through the camp’s main gate, and this howl was informing another comrade.
Thus, when the howl suddenly stopped, the camp’s side immediately came under attack. Sёar?h the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
This was consistent with Zhenjin’s early warning; this group of Demon Beast Army was extremely elite.
“Fire!” Bai Ya lead a team of five, who had been waiting for a long time.
These five people were meticulously selected, the best shooters, and together with Bai Ya, a total of six people, all used Repeating Crossbows.
The Repeating Crossbows burst out with an astonishing volley of arrows, and the incoming creatures were mostly Flying Squirrels, whose advance was greatly hindered by the dense arrow rain.
“Woof woof woof!” The Blue Dog Fox Wolf issued new orders, and the flying squirrels scattered, no longer charging in dense formations.
Bai Ya and the others furrowed their brows, the pressure surged, and the previous kill rate plummeted rapidly.
With only six people in Bai Ya’s team, even with Repeating Crossbows, they had to reload the arrow box after a spray of shots.
There were simply too many Flying Squirrels; Bai Ya and the others couldn’t shoot fast enough, gradually going from flustered to losing control of the situation.
“The side is in bad shape, I’m going to support!” Zhenjin used ultrasound to survey the entire battlefield.
“Go ahead with confidence,” Zong Ge nodded, gasping for air.
Zhenjin completely handed over the defense of the gate to Zong Ge and immediately turned and sprinted, rushing to the side.
“Flaying Squirrels are climbing the wooden wall!” Zhenjin’s pupils sharply contracted.
If they couldn’t stop these Flying Squirrels, not to mention Bai Ya and the others being sacrificed, the camp’s defense would be breached, making it easy for the enemy to break through.
“God, my Lord, the great Holy Emperor, please grant me strength to fight to the death, to follow Your way…”
Zhenjin deliberately prayed loudly, but this time, before he could finish, he was interrupted by an attacking Flying Squirrel.
A Magic Beast-level Flying Squirrel, once it bites and electrifies, a normal person was basically doomed.
“Get out of my way!” Zhenjin roared.
His booming voice formed a half-transparent wave of sound that spread out from Zhenjin at the center, stunning the attacking Flying Squirrels on the spot.
Since Zhenjin was capable of mutating his body internally in secret, to emit ultrasound, then mimicking a bat’s sonic attack was even easier.
“Roll—!”
“Die!”
“Kill kill kill!!”
Zhenjin, holding a thin sword, shuttled back and forth atop the wooden wall, and any climbing Flying Squirrel was directly shouted at and generally stunned. Even if not stunned, they would surely be halted. Zhenjin used these openings to easily slay the lives of the Flying Squirrels.
“The Lord’s prayer worked again!”
“We have a Holy Temple Knight!”
“These rats are no good, they’ve all been stunned by the Lord, kill them!”
Atop the wooden wall, Bai Ya and the others were greatly energized.
“Woof woof woof!” The Blue Dog Fox Wolf issued orders again.
All of the Flying Squirrels changed their target of attack to Zhenjin.
Zhenjin could only tire himself out in response, and just at that moment, the Blue Dog Fox Wolf suddenly sprang out from the forest and climbed the wooden wall.
It was unclear how it managed it, but climbing the wooden wall was as easy as walking on flat ground for it, moving fast as a bolt of blue lightning, arriving at the top of the wooden wall in just a few breaths.
The Blue Dog Fox Wolf bared its fangs and fiercely pounced towards Zhenjin.
It knew: Zhenjin was the key figure! If he were killed, they could win this battle.
