Chapter 19: Crisis appears! The Earth-class beast, the armored rhinoceros!
Just when Li Weiyi had just killed the Silver Moon Wolf, a group of dozens of people suddenly rushed out from the entrance of the underground space.
There were three people, two men and one woman, forming a triangle, each with a dozen practitioners, guarding the entrance and exit of the underground space in the middle.
After they had taken their positions, a group of people came out from the entrance. There were about a dozen of them. They were basically dressed the same as Qian Feng before. They should all be scientific researchers from the Chamber of Commerce.
Only one young woman was dressed differently, wearing a red and black tight-fitting battle suit and a ponytail. She had a stunning appearance, extraordinary temperament and a heroic demeanor.
When the young woman looked around, she found that the people fighting the ferocious beast were at a disadvantage, so she frowned slightly, gave an order to the two men and one woman, and then personally took the two men and more than 30 practitioners under their command to support the Liuguang Squad and the allied army who were fighting the ferocious beast.
Only the woman among the three and a dozen practitioners under her were left to protect the frightened scientific researchers.
With the young woman leading more than 30 practitioners to join, the battle situation tilted slightly towards the human side. After all, although some ferocious beasts were killed, there were still nearly a thousand of them.
After Li Weiyi killed the Silver Moon Wolf, he boosted the morale of the human practitioners. With the addition of more than 30 practitioners including young women, the situation on the battlefield was developing in a direction favorable to the human practitioners.
At this moment, a loud roar that sounded like a cow's roar but was not a cow's roar came from behind the herd of ferocious beasts.
"Moo~!"
After this huge roar sounded, the nearly one thousand ferocious beasts in front of them suddenly became more ferocious, as if they had taken stimulants, and showed an even more ferocious side when facing human practitioners.
“Roar~!” “Roar~!” “Roar~!”…
At the same time, roars of ferocious beasts were heard, as if responding to the previous roar that sounded like a cow's roar but was not a cow's roar.
"What kind of ferocious beast is that sound?" Zhang Pengfei asked in some surprise.
"I don't know, but I'm afraid it's at least a high-level ferocious beast! Or even..." Lin Bao looked solemn and didn't continue.
However, the other members of the Liuguang Team understood what Lin Bao did not say, and their expressions became solemn.
"Captain Lin!"
At this time, Qiu Jianping came over with a sword in hand. Thanks to the two men brought by the young woman who restrained the high-level ferocious beast, the black python, he was able to escape and come here.
"Huh? Second Lieutenant Qiu!" Lin Bao glanced at Qiu Jianping with a little surprise.
"Captain Lin! An earth-level beast, the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros, appeared behind the beast group! I have discussed with Miss Bai from the Merchant Alliance, and we have to retreat. The two of us and three late-stage mortals from the Merchant Alliance will cover the retreat and protect everyone's retreat." As he spoke, Qiu Jianping discovered the wound on Lin Bao's left chest, "Captain Lin, this is..."
"Alas! I was caught by the Silver Moon Wolf. Although I won't die, my strength will be reduced. I'm afraid I can't follow Lieutenant Qiu to cover the retreat!" Lin Bao sighed.
"Oh?" Qiu Jianping looked at Lin Bao's injury with helplessness. Now, having lost a fighter in the late mortal realm, the danger for their entire team would increase a lot.
"I am also in the late mortal realm. Let me cover your retreat!" After Li Weiyi killed two low-level ferocious beasts, he vaguely heard the conversation between the two and came over.
"You!?" Qiu Jianping looked at Li Weiyi who was approaching him. Seeing his young appearance, he looked at Lin Bao beside him with some disbelief.
"Lieutenant Qiu! This is Li Weiyi from our team. He has reached the late mortal realm. The Silver Moon Wolf was killed by him just now!" Lin Bao briefly introduced Li Weiyi.
"Oh!? He was the one who killed the Silver Moon Wolf!?" Qiu Jianping was a little surprised. He was just fighting with the black python just now and didn't have the time to pay attention to the battle between Li Weiyi and the Silver Moon Wolf. Therefore, he didn't know that the Silver Moon Wolf was killed by Li Weiyi.
"Okay! There's no time to lose! We must retreat immediately!" The Iron-Armored Rhinoceros, an Earth-level beast, was lurking behind the group of beasts, and Qiu Jianping didn't have time to be surprised.
So, the young woman, or "Miss Bai" as they called her, Bai Weiwei, the daughter of the head of the Bai family, one of the top ten families of the Chamber of Commerce, led the way with the practitioners of the Chamber of Commerce, followed by scientific researchers, the alliance army and the Liuguang team's troops in the back, and Li Weiyi, Qiu Jianping and the three late mortal realm masters under Bai Weiwei's command closed the rear, and the team began to evacuate outside the city ruins.
Li Weiyi and his group's evacuation naturally could not escape the eyes of the armored rhino behind the group of ferocious beasts. Although its intelligence was not very high, it also knew that it must not let the human in front of it escape.
"Moo~!"
Another roar of a beast was heard, and the Iron-armored Rhino twisted its huge body, gradually speeding up, and the beasts blocking the front made way for it.
In just a short while, the huge body of the Iron-Armored Rhino appeared in the eyes of Li Weiyi and the other four who were left behind.
"Moo~!"
The armored rhinoceros's sturdy limbs stepped on the ground, making a rumbling sound. Its seemingly clumsy body was surprisingly flexible and agile.
When the Iron-Armored Rhino rushed in front of Li Weiyi and his four companions, it instantly raised its two sturdy front hooves and stomped down towards Li Weiyi and a late mortal realm man from the Merchant Alliance!
“Boom! Boom!”
Fortunately, Li Weiyi and the other two dodged in time, otherwise, if they were stepped on by the armored rhinoceros, they would have been dead for sure.
"Moo~!"
Seeing that he had not crushed the tiny human in front of him to death, the Iron Rhino roared angrily, raised all four hooves, and stomped madly towards Li Weiyi and the other four, determined to crush the five humans in front of him into meat paste.
However, this action did not achieve any effect except for raising a cloud of dust.
"Moo~!"
The Iron-Armored Rhino found that all his efforts were of no use to the five tiny humans in front of him, and he became even more irritable and angry.
"Moo~!"
After a loud roar, a wave of vital energy appeared around the Iron Rhino, and suddenly five one-foot-long ochre-colored cones appeared, spinning around, and each cone pointed at one of the five people led by Li Weiyi.
"Moo~!"
There was another loud roar, and five ochre-colored cones moved at the sound, shooting out in an instant and stabbing Li Weiyi and the other five.
Looking at the khaki cone coming towards him, Li Weiyi's hair stood on end and a sense of life and death crisis came over him.
Li Weiyi only had time to twist his body to avoid the vital parts before the khaki cone brushed past Li Weiyi's left arm in an instant, bringing up a few drops of blood and shooting into the distance.
"That was a close call!" Li Weiyi gasped and looked at the wound on his left arm. The wound was not long or deep and did not affect his ability to perform.
Looking at the other four people, only one man from the Chamber of Commerce was pierced through the chest and died instantly. The other three were only slightly injured and were not in serious condition.
"Moo~!"
Another loud roar sounded, and from the sound of it, it seemed that the rhino was not very satisfied with the effect of its move. There was another wave of vital energy around the armored rhino's body.
This time, twenty streamlined cones were directly condensed. Each of the remaining four people including Li Weiyi was pointed at by five cones, and the tips of the cones emitted a captivating cold light.
"It's hard to dodge even one cone, but now five are coming! How can I dodge them?" Li Weiyi looked tense. Facing the five cold cones, he didn't dare to relax even a bit.
Qiu Jianping and the remaining man and woman from the Chamber of Commerce all had horrible expressions, mixed with despair and fear, as if their lives would end in the next moment.
"Moo~!"
The armored rhino's roar sounded , and twenty ochre-colored cones moved instantly, shooting towards Li Weiyi and his four companions.
After the Iron Rhinoceros launched this attack, its aura was noticeably weakened. Apparently, the twenty ochre cones had consumed a huge amount of its energy.
