NOVEL NEXT Chapter 141: Meat Grinder
It's like a signal.
At this moment, the entire battlefield erupted.
The Monster Air Corps and the land legion that had been hovering near Black Mountain launched the most terrifying charge.
Especially this batch of the Air Corps, they are in no way comparable to the previous waves of Little Demons from the Seek Death Camp, perhaps each possessing Ninth Grade strength, charging with speed both fast and terrifying.
Flying Eagles, Great Eagles, Vultures, Battle Falcons, Crows, Magpies, Wild Geese, and so on, almost like Level 18 hurricanes, rushed directly past, and although some were swept away by the giant Sword Light, it actually wasn't many.
And they were so fast, like a massive black lightning, or a gigantic Black Snake launching an attack, they rushed straight into the gap in the Grand Array, continuously expanding it.
As for the proper Demon Legion, they too quickened their speed, even faster than the fanatical demons from the Seek Death Camp.
Over a thousand Cow Demons cloaked in flames rushed to the forefront, led by a Big Black Bull, which probably weighed thousands of tons, and its horns alone were seven or eight meters long.
Its massive bull's eyes were as large as lotus tanks.
The Demons from the Seek Death Camp blocking the way were trampled into meat paste.
There was simply no concept of friendly forces.
Wang Wu was so terrified that he turned and ran, no longer daring to retreat.
As for the remaining giant Sword Light, he didn't touch it at all; he could only run desperately, and when he encountered a large Demon blocking his path, he could only jump, leaping over.
But just as he thought he would rush straight through to the opposite side's Grand Array and begin a slaughter, that Sword Light Bead Curtain Array in front suddenly changed, a thick, vast, earthy aura emerged, transforming the entire Grand Array into a thousand-meter-high wall!
On the wall, countless Spiritual Light emerged, resembling giant crossbows, but definitely not mortal weapons, as the shimmering Spiritual Light proved.
"Damn!"
Amidst his frantic sprint, Wang Wu panicked, flipping over under the belly of a large Demon.
But he was overthinking it; on a battlefield like this, his small size wasn't enough to attract attention; the real spectacle was the Big Black Bull a few hundred meters behind him.
That guy was simply the most dazzling cow on the entire battlefield!
In an instant, Spiritual Light erupted, and at least 50,000 massive, sharp Spiritual Light Crossbow Arrows were aimed at it from the city wall.
And they directly covered an area within three hundred meters, missing was not an option!
Every Demon in that range was instantly slain.
As for that Big Black Bull, although it was shot into a porcupine, it continued to leap and shout.
Fierce and unmatched! It even accelerated.
Wang Wu was truly shocked to his core, this guy was a harbinger of death, and too fast.
He could only turn and run in another direction,
While the Spiritual Light Crossbow Arrows on the city wall fired down like a torrential rain, relentlessly pursuing that Big Black Bull with various attacks.
Wang Wu ultimately didn't escape the death halo of this Big Black Bull.
Even though he kept using other large Demons as shields, those Spiritual Light Crossbow Arrows were too fierce, too brutal.
In an instant, at least twenty arrows shot down, directly turning the kind demon providing him cover into a sieve, and immediately after, Wang Wu was pierced by a dozen Spiritual Light Crossbow Arrows.
There was no choice; Wang Wu immediately activated Copper Head Iron Bone to barely withstand this wave, but he also discerned the damage value of these Spiritual Crossbow Arrows.
The weakest level caused 200 points of piercing damage.
The medium level could cause 300 points of piercing damage.
The deadliest, a gigantic arrow like a spear, could cause 500 points of damage.
Luckily, these gigantic crossbow arrows were very accurately aimed, all directed at that Big Black Bull, so Wang Wu only got hit by one, and could manage.
However, he wouldn't be this lucky next.
As the subordinates of the Big Black Bull came thundering by, Wang Wu had no chance to escape and was trampled beneath countless giant bull hooves.
These bull hooves were too terrifying.
Even though another Demon's corpse was on top of Wang Wu, in a short time it was trampled into meat paste.
Then it was Wang Wu's turn to be heavily trampled.
It was a killer, an absolute blackout.
Wang Wu's Level 12 Self-Healing activated at full speed, and he also directly activated Heart of the Earth to recover health, at the same time, frantically consuming that kind brother he had earlier.
In less than half a minute, he exhausted all five Rapid Self-Healing uses and all three Heart of the Earth activations.
Only then did he stabilize his Life Value.
Equivalent to losing 3,600 points of Life Value.
Equivalent to four Wang Wus being taken out.
This was based on his 61 points of Defense, each bull hoof trampling down could passively exempt 183 points of damage.
These guys were too terrifying.
At this moment, Wang Wu was already severely weakened, being too thin was not good.
The only good news was that the herd had passed!
The rest of the proper Demon Legion was still at some distance.
But no matter what, they're gentler than this herd of frenzied bulls.
Wang Wu curled up on the ground, surrounded by nearly half a meter of blood paste, flesh and bloody pulp.
The only thing he could do was eat like crazy, eat like crazy!
Providing a large amount of satiety and vitality, as well as an enormous amount of Spiritual Qi.
Yes, an enormous amount of Spiritual Qi.
Too much, too abundant!
In just this short time, Wang Wu accumulated over 5,000 Points of Spiritual Qi.
This time he chose to upgrade the Heart of the Earth without hesitation, no other choice.
In a flash, 5,000 Points of Spiritual Qi were absorbed, and he felt as if he was suffocating to death at that moment.
But immediately, his heart began to beat crazily, his Inner Breathing Technique accelerated to keep up, needing to ensure the energy gathered at the heart was cycled out in time, or he could easily fall into a coma lasting more than ten seconds.
This might be okay under normal circumstances, but on the battlefield, it meant death.
Fortunately, during this past period, Wang Wu had been crazily using the Inner Breathing Technique to mobilize Qi Blood, refining Profound Iron, although the refining of the Lifebound Demon Soldiers was not yet successful, it indeed allowed him to master the Inner Breathing Technique more adeptly, more proficiently.
So in just three seconds, Wang Wu was able to alleviate the 5,000 Points of Spiritual Qi through the Inner Breathing Technique, putting everything back on track.
"Dong!"
A thunderous sound signified that his Heart of the Earth had successfully upgraded to Level 3.
The effects of the upgrade were the same as Level 1 and Level 2, no exponential increase.
But in reality, this was already powerful enough.
Isn't gaining 50 years of Shou appealing?
Life Value +100, now reaching 1,000!
Physical Strength +100, Satiety Limit +50, Power +1, agility +1, Defense +1!
When activating the Heart of the Earth talent, it could instantly consume up to 300 Points of Spiritual Qi to restore 300 Points of Life Value.
Are these not appealing?
Not to mention, due to the Heart of the Earth, his severe weakness became moderate weakness, even increasing the Rapid Self-Healing uses back to six times.
"Awooo!"
The howl of wolves erupted, thousands of giant wolves surged like a whirlwind.
Wang Wu lay on the ground, letting the countless wolf paws trample over.
This time, it was much more comfortable.
Previously those Cow Demons weighed at least ten tons, and their sprinting speed exceeded 300 kilometers per hour, getting stomped by them was truly fatal.
But these giant wolves, though weighing one ton or even two tons, were really nothing to worry about.
None could break through Wang Wu's Basic Defense, essentially not enough to break his defense.
However, it didn't mean he wouldn't suffer collateral damage, as a dense hail of Spirit Light Crossbow Arrows fell again from the city head, instantly reaping swathes of giant wolves, some Spirit Light Crossbow Arrows hit Wang Wu, forcing him to unleash Copper Head Iron Bone again.
Fortunately, Copper Head Iron Bone did not solely consume Qi Blood but also half the Spiritual Qi.
Wang Wu was not lacking Spiritual Qi now.
With the giant wolf legion swept past, Wang Wu was left with three giant wolf corpses on his body, needing to construct his defensive system.
As for the situation on the battlefield ahead, he couldn't afford to care anymore.
Well, thanks to his Level 15 Danger Perception, he could still discern much of the battlefield clearly.
First, the Seek Death Camp of the Demon Race was almost 80% annihilated, only the strongest individuals remained alive.
Secondly, that Big Black Bull seemed dead; it was too flashy, absorbing too much damage and after being concentratedly attacked, it finally fell before the city wall.
Thousands of Cow Demons died, leaving only two or three hundred, but they did indeed breach the city wall Grand Array, providing a significant advantage and a foothold for the subsequent Demon Race legion entry.
However, Human Race's counterattack was equally sharp and terrifying, occasionally giant swords breaking free from Lifebound Demon Soldiers entanglements fell down, one strike could take away hundreds or thousands of powerful Demon Soldiers.
Besides that, various talismans fell like snowflakes as if without any monetary cost, casting spells.
Golden Light Immobilization, Thunder Talisman, Wind Blade, Ice Cone, giant Wooden Spike, heavenly Fireball! Each strike took away a huge swath of the Demon Race.
But after the Demon Race broke through, they easily stirred a bloody whirlwind within the Human Race Warrior formations.
Human Race stood their ground, Demon Race spared no expense, aside from hundreds of thousands of Seek Death Camp, now the formal Demon Soldiers surpassed two hundred thousand.
Wang Wu originally wanted to hide under the pile of bodies to sneak by, but when he saw a supervising team rushing down from Black Mountain, he immediately crawled out from the heap of corpses and blood.
No chance to sneak past, because those damn things directly reclaimed all corpses and bloody fragments.
Yes, this supervising team included Little Tree Spirits, hundreds of them.
Above them floated, like hot air balloons, Devil Vines, seeming tamed, dropping all roots down, taking in all corpses, wounded, bloody flesh, even soil without sparing anything.
Truly ruthless.
Luckily, the most difficult and terrifying charge moments were over; the walls formed by Sword Array were mostly collapsed, over a hundred miles long excavated.
Both sides were completely mixed into a melee.
It's not exaggerating to call it a bloody meat grinder.
