Chapter 286 Heavy Armor · Lin Yue! _2
As the screams rang out one after another, the Lizardman troops visibly fell into disorder. Some even rushed directly toward the outer wall of the Shelter, but screams soon followed again.
Everything's going smoothly.
Lin Yue calmly pulled the trigger, fighting with his usual composure.
Even though he couldn't directly kill the Lizardmen, that didn't mean he had no means.
"There are traps outside..."
The vanguard of the Lizardmen fell into the mire of the traps, with most suffering severe injuries!
However, Lin Yue also noticed that more ladders had appeared on the walls, and the Lizardmen were climbing these ladders, even reaching the top of the wall!
"I expected this, Bai!"
The dragon beside him spread its wings, accompanied by a powerful blast of air. A silver-white light instantly rose and circled the wall at extreme speed in the next moment!
The Lizardmen climbing the walls hadn't even had time to scream before their heads were severed, or they were cut in half!
Bai didn't stop, swooping low to easily slice through both the ladders and the Lizardmen on them with its sharp claws!
Having completed this task, Bai effortlessly flew back to the rooftop, awaiting Lin Yue's next command.
Lizardmen using ladders? The only ones who could provide them with ladders were the beggars, right?
"Well done, let's proceed..."
Lin Yue's eyes turned icy as he pulled the trigger once more!
Taking advantage of the moment, he directly shot and knocked down a Lizardman wielding a Giant Shield, while the Black-robed Priest beside it was less guarded due to the sudden turn of events.
Lin Yue fired, shattering its leg, and then once more, breaking the leg of another Lizardman with a shield beside it.
He shouldn't casually burst out treasure chests.
He was well aware of the Lizardmen's intentions now.
Once a treasure chest is burst out, these monsters would immediately go to snatch it. Those Lizardmen lurking underground were prepared for this reason.
If he directly exploded the heads of the Lion-headed bears, the Turtle Crocodiles, or the heads of the Lizardman Priests, then the Golden Treasure Chests or Silver Treasure Chests that burst out would be easily taken by the Lizardmen next to them or below ground.
Moreover, a 100% chest bursting occurrence cannot be discovered by those beggars.
This is also the fundamental reason he can't instantaneously snipe those four Lizardman Priests with a 'capture the king first' tactic.
Treasure chests gone are not a pity; getting picked up by others is the pity.
It would be a greater blunder if someone discovered the 100% chest bursting system.
Not a single Lizardman on the wall, yet they're still surrounding this Shelter.
Yet it was clear, after Bai's attack, they lost their initial vigor and gradually became disordered under the attack of the Little Ice Lizards.
Crying, roaring, and low growling continued to emerge from this once imposing Lizardman legion. Meanwhile, as more companions fell, they lost their previous composure, and fear spread among them, gradually eroding their fighting spirit!
As the number of Lizardmen on this land continued to decrease, before long, night finally fell completely on this desert, and Lin Yue sped up his sniping.
Clip after clip was replaced in the sniper rifle, and the bullets even turned the barrel scorching hot!
Lin Yue calmly shot bullets into the legs of key targets, rendering them unable to escape, while the Little Ice Lizards worked collaboratively and with clear targets to take down the beggars one by one.
Lin Yue noticed some Lizardmen burrowing back into the ground, while several Lion-headed bears were being herded forward by the Lizardmen.
"Xiao Meng, kill the Lizardmen in large numbers, leave the Lion-headed bears and Turtle Crocodiles with a breath."
He quickly commanded.
At this moment, the Lizardman army was thoroughly mired in chaos, just the right time for a heavyweight player like Xiao Meng to take stage!
Simultaneously, Lin Yue swapped in a new clip once more.
He took a deep breath.
Besides the screams of the Lizardmen in his ears, another sound emerged in the sky.
This sound started far but approached fast, in massive numbers!
"Bai, take out those trying to join the fray, leave none!"
"Gawo!" Bai instantly soared into the sky, directly attacking the mutant creatures surging from the distant sky!
"Time is tight; these Lizardmen are really good at picking the timing."
Lin Yue took a deep breath; he knew it was unlikely for this battle to end normally.
Night is the domain of mutant creatures, while Lizardmen happen to possess a trait that keeps mutant creatures at bay.
More mutant creatures would arrive soon, and he could only retreat back into his Shelter.
Bai and Xiao Meng probably wouldn't hold out for long; nighttime combat was not a favorable choice for him and his allies.
The Lizardmen seemed to have capitalized on this fact to make their siege, perhaps it was also at the suggestion of the beggars.
He sped up his trigger-pulling pace.
Focused on disabling the mobility of Turtle Crocodiles and Lion-headed bears, while also assisting Xiao Meng in charging recklessly through the Lizardmen crowd.
Occasionally, Xiao Meng smashed open the door again, flung two Lion-headed bears inside the walls, and consecutively tossed the Lizardman Priests and Turtle Crocodiles inside.
Lin Yue jumped down to the ground and quickly harvested them!
[You obtained a Golden Treasure Chest!]
[You obtained a Golden Treasure Chest!]
[You obtained a...]
11 Golden Treasure Chests in one go!
Seeing that Lin Yue had dealt with those, Xiao Meng rushed to the area with the most Lizardmen, swinging its gigantic fists at them!
The battle continued and rapidly transitioned from the advantage of the Lizardmen to Lin Yue's overwhelming dominance.
Facing his counterattack, the Lizardman forces crumbled utterly!
Unknowingly, the night deepened.
The battle finally drew to a close.
Lin Yue carried the corpses of the four Lion-headed bears back inside the Shelter, quite pleased.
What could be tastier than the meat of these creatures?
Nothing currently compares.
Mutant lamb and even monster pork don't measure up.
This round, thanks to the Lizardmen for delivering the chests and Lion-headed bears.
The excited Xiao Meng followed him inside, while Bai descended from the air, returning to the living room.
Lin Yue sent them one by one to the bathroom to wash the Lizardman and creature blood off them, then let them return to the living room to rest.
The Lizardmen sent considerable forces, but still insufficient.
Now, outside, there's an indeterminate number of Lizardman corpses, and the same goes for beggars. Lin Yue is unable to know now.
To confirm, they'll have to wait until the next day.
Wait for the mad night of mutant creatures to pass before checking.
Lin Yue watched Bai battle flying creatures in the night sky, seeing even its strength unable to fully annihilate the swarming flying mutants.
Xiao Meng, although able to stride through the Lizardman horde without fear of any enemy, still couldn't deal with the ones burrowed underground, which left it repeatedly helpless and enraged.
As for the Little Ice Lizards, with nothing else to say, their speed assured they wouldn't get hurt, but in terms of killing enemies, only beggars could be bullied by them.
Lin Yue himself wasn't faring much better.
The night obstructed his sight, preventing him from venturing outside the Shelter's range, much less engaging the enemies freely.
And the presence of beggars prevented him from easily exploding the Lizardmen's heads to gain treasure chests. Even if a chest burst out, those underground Lizardmen would swiftly snatch it.
A battle that could have been won with ease turned upside down just because the Lizardmen chose to attack when night was falling, costing him his vast advantage.
To be honest, he was quite impressed by these Lizardmen, and of course, by the beggars who could devise such a tactic for them.
"Indeed, beggars are the greatest threat..."
Lin Yue reaffirmed the status and influence of the beggars.
Lizardmen merely win with numbers but lack brains.
Though with the aid of beggars, it's a whole different story.
"Enough, stop thinking about it. Focus on opening what's left of the chests. First, the Silver Treasure Chests!"
Lin Yue arranged a large pile of silver-glowing treasure chests, took a deep breath, and said.
