Chapter 131 Bizarre
The fierce battle in the "Plague Base" is still going on, and the beast tide seems to be endless and attacks the three mechanical cities.
The heavy rain in the clouds was pouring down like a bucket, getting heavier and heavier, which greatly suppressed the power of fire spells and provided an endless supply of rain water to the two "lord-level" monsters.
In this fierce battle, everyone guessed the outcome and was struggling to hold on.
But when that desperate moment came, everyone was still shocked.
Bang! Bang! Bang…
Suddenly, a violent explosion rose into the sky.
It was like spring thunder, breaking the eardrums.
The entire base was shaking violently as if there was an earthquake.
A huge flame erupted from inside the "Glorious 35" mechanical city, and a mushroom cloud rose into the sky.
Judging from the intensity of the explosion, it was definitely not caused by artillery or magic. It seemed that the internal combustion boiler and ammunition compartment had detonated.
This is a sign that the mechanical city has fallen. The commander will order the steam boiler of the mechanical city to explode at the last moment, and perish together with the enemy. This is to kill the enemy and also to prevent the enemy from capturing a complete mechanical city on the battlefield.
“The city has been breached!”
someone shouted.
This explosion seemed to have ignited a signal.
…
This is an expected result.
The "Glorious No. 35" mechanical city was attacked by concentrated firepower of two "Lord-level" monsters. The walls of the mechanical city were as useless as the walls of the previous camp and could not stop the mighty army of monsters.
Judging from the scale of the beast tide, the barbarians who came to seek revenge this time must be extremely strong.
The Warcraft's exhaustion of the resistance in the base was just the "appetizer", and unknown killing moves were still waiting for them.
The longer they wait until the final battle, the more disadvantageous it will be for these people from the City of Glory.
Now that one has been destroyed, it means that the pressure on the other two will be very great.
The Warcraft that was once divided into three groups has now been divided into two groups. The pressure has skyrocketed, and it is only a matter of time before the other two mechanical cities are breached.
…
On the other hand, the situation in the ground base became much better because of the mighty eight-armed mechanical beast of Grandpa Tust that descended from the sky and killed several high-level magical beasts that broke in.
Although the hunters suffered heavy casualties, with only one or two out of ten surviving, fortunately, those who survived were basically the stronger hunters.
“The city has been breached!”
"Those noble lords are about to fight to the death..."
“Haha…I’ve finally made it to this point!”
“…”
Seeing this scene, the surviving hunters did not despair. Instead, a final glimmer of hope lit up in their eyes.
Taking the city means that the opportunity they have been waiting for has come!
They knew very well that if those noble lords hid in the city, they would eventually be defeated one by one and would surely die.
Therefore, if they want to survive, they have no choice but to break out!
The barbarian who was controlling the beast tide behind the scenes was able to formulate such a detailed siege plan. He must have known that those in the mechanical city were all "big shots" and would have kept a close eye on them.
Those guys who break through and rush into the beast tide will definitely receive special attention from the barbarians.
The other directions are the weak points of the beast tide...
Just as the wasteland hunters had expected, at the first moment of the violent explosion, an even more violent attack suddenly broke out from the other two mechanical cities!
The mage group cast a high-powered group coverage spell, and in a blink of an eye, they cleared out a piece of open space in the dark tide of beasts .
After briefly repelling the beast tide, a large group of people indeed rushed out from the two mechanical cities, including a group of mages, a group of guards, and a group of dignitaries whose faces were pale with fear.
They wore the most luxurious top-grade equipment and tore the most expensive high-level magic scrolls...
High-priced life-saving items that are usually hard to come by in major businesses are now thrown into the beast tide as if they were free of charge.
The firepower was so strong that escape routes were instantly opened;
But the noise was also huge, attracting more and more monsters to rush over.
…
"These noble gentlemen are running away now, they really look like a bunch of women!"
"Hahahaha... a bunch of sons of bitches, bah!"
"Hehe... I thought those guys who usually look down on others wouldn't be afraid of death. They are just like old dogs with their tails between their legs..."
“…”
The wasteland hunters make no secret of their ridicule of the powerful.
Burgos, deputy leader of the "Iron Boots", Martin, leader of the "Bloody Axe", and several people from large hunting groups also met together.
"Everyone, prepare to break out... In this situation, the nobles in the mechanical city are starting to fight desperately. Once they attract the large group of monsters over, we will set off..."
"Hehe, they used us as a shield before, but now these dignitaries are of some use. At least they can attract the main force of the beast tide..."
"Although I'm unlucky today, it's a blessing in disguise. I didn't expect that there would be such an amazing mechanic in the wasteland hunter team..."
"Yes! If the mechanical giant hadn't killed the high-level monsters that rushed into the camp one after another, it's hard to say how many of us low-level hunters who don't have the protection of the mechanical city would have survived."
"The time is almost right. Without further ado, let's say goodbye. Everyone...whether you can survive now depends on who has better luck."
"Hey, if you're not dead, I'll treat you guys to a drink!"
"Stop talking bullshit. If I were still alive, I would treat everyone to a good time at the best tavern!"
"rush!"
“…”
As soon as he finished speaking, several major hunting groups each chose a direction based on their intuition and began to break out.
There is no point in gathering together to break out, because the monsters will gather together and in the end, you will be wiped out.
Now if we split up and attack, we can also try our luck.
If there are fewer high-level monsters encountered in a certain direction, perhaps we can still rush out.
Who survives in the end depends on their means and luck.
…
on the other hand,
"Ryan boy, Carl, prepare to break out!"
Grandpa Tust replaced the mecha with a new ammunition box, and with a few rounds of fire, he cleared a space near the tent and created a breakout route.
"good."
Ryan nodded, he had already packed everything and there was nothing to take.
Just to be on the safe side, I put on an extra set of light leather armor.
Originally he was worried about the safety of Tust and his grandson, but now he no longer has this concern.
On the contrary, because the old man's battle mecha is as brutal and powerful as a bulldozer, as long as he doesn't encounter special monsters like mud monsters, the probability of rushing out is very high.
…
Everyone in the entire "Plague Base" is preparing to break out, and no one thinks they can survive until the beast tide is over.
But before everyone rushed out of the base's wall,
Suddenly, a strange scene happened.
The rainstorm stopped abruptly, and the "evil wind" in the base that sounded like the howling of ghosts and wolves also stopped suddenly.
No one knew what had happened, but the [Swamp Lord] that was besieging another mechanical city suddenly turned into a pool of mud and merged into the swamp.
[Gun Flower Vine Monster] also retracted its fresh and tender branches and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The two "Lord-level" monsters actually retreated?
At this moment, the group of monsters besieging the plague base suddenly regained their sanity. The madness in their eyes disappeared and turned into confusion.
It was as if the wild disco music had been paused, and all the monsters were stunned for a moment.
It was like after watching a short drinking video, they suddenly realized something.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment around them, those monsters also showed fear in their eyes and scattered in an instant, even faster than when they came.
But in the blink of an eye, in the huge base, there were no living monsters to be seen except for their corpses.
The monsters ran faster than humans, heading deeper into the swamp...
The scavengers who were trying to break out were extremely shocked when they saw the beast tide escaping faster than them, and they stopped running.
In a blink of an eye, the tide of beasts disappeared without a trace in the swamp, leaving everyone staring at each other in bewilderment.
"What's going on?"
"The beast tide has receded?"
“It seems so…”
“…”
Everyone was stunned and had no idea what was going on.
There was a dreamlike feeling in every look.
The base that was dark just now was now only covered with body parts and pieces of flesh. The hunters looked at the empty camp in front of them and were at a loss for a moment.
If it weren't for the devastated battlefield, everyone would probably have thought it was a dream.
Is the beast tide really over like this?
…
Ryan and his men also stopped their attempt to break out.
Bazel leaped onto the camp wall, sensed for a moment, frowned and said, "The beast tide has indeed moved away..."
He was sure that the monsters had really retreated back into the swamp and were running farther and farther away.
When Ryan heard this, he looked puzzled: "Huh?"
The beast tide is really over.
It's so sudden that it's hard to believe.
Obviously, the beast tide had a great advantage, so there was no need to play the "playing hard to get" tactic. After conquering one mechanical city, they could quickly capture the other two mechanical cities by pursuing the victory.
But this... is a bit anticlimactic.
They were clearly here to kill us all, so why did those barbarians suddenly retreat?
Obviously it's not a change of conscience.
Bazel's face did not feel relieved, but became more solemn: "Ryan boy, things may be strange, you'd better be careful."
Ryan also felt that the retreat of the beast tide was a bit strange, and nodded: "Yeah."
But after all, the beast tide receded.
Without the endless heavy attacks from the monsters, the mechanical giant was useless.
The golden antler helmet opened with a click, revealing the slightly ruddy face of Mr. Tust. He also asked with doubtful eyes: "Brother Ryan, has the beast tide receded?"
"Yes, Grandpa Tust."
Ryan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the old man looked pretty good.
I hope nothing serious happened. I was afraid that God couldn’t bear what happened just now.
He thought about it and said, "Maybe the high-level barbarian priest who drove the beast tide suddenly died from the backlash of magic, or maybe it was some other reason. Anyway, all the living monsters around the base have run away..."
He had encountered this situation before in the forest of the City of Glory. It seemed that the beast tide was interrupted because of the magic backlash of that girl Wu Duo.
I think this is probably the most reasonable speculation.
When Tust heard this, his expression suddenly relaxed, "It's good that you've retreated..."
In a blink of an eye, Ryan realized that the old man's "energetic" state was a little abnormal, and asked weakly: "Grandpa Tuster, did you drink any potion before?"
This is not the state a patient should be in. He is obviously taking drugs.
"Yes."
Tust smiled and said disapprovingly: "The 'awakening potion' your teacher prepared for me can keep me awake for a certain period of time and prevent me from falling into a coma."
"call……"
Ryan also breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
Fortunately, it is not a banned drug. Although this "awakening potion" has some side effects, its effect is mild and will not kill people.
The medicine prepared by the teacher is still reliable.
But Tust's next words scared Ryan again. The old man put away the test tube in the mechanical arm, and seemed to be a little reluctant: "It feels good to be full of energy. But it's also good this way, saving the third potion..."
"The third one?"
When Ryan heard this, his eyelids twitched.
This "wake-up potion" is an emergency medicine. A normal person can only take one bottle. How could the old man have taken two bottles?
Is he planning to risk his life to get himself and Carl out?
Sure enough, without the support of the medicine, the sequelae soon set in.
Tust looked at Ryan's expression and pretended to be relaxed. "Don't worry, I..."
The voice stopped abruptly!
As the old man was talking, he suddenly fainted without any warning!
Seeing this, Karl exclaimed: “Grandpa!”
Ryan's face also changed, and he immediately jumped onto the mecha. After a quick inspection, he immediately concluded: "The side effects of the medicine have backfired!"
He didn't dare to delay at all, and immediately used a scalpel to cut a blood line on the old man's wrist, relieving part of the unbearable pressure in the blood vessels. Then he quickly used the "gang line" to help dredge the blood circulation in the brain and heart, and calmed his heart rate which was already on the highway...
