High-Martial World: System Arrives 30 Years Late-Chapter 270 - 230: Despairing Beast Tide, Grandmaster Level Fierce Beasts!
"The only good news for now is that there aren’t many Grandmaster-level fierce beasts emerging in this round of the beast tide."
"Suppressing the beast tide consists of two phases. The first phase is to kill all the fierce beasts that have emerged from the ground. The second phase is to step into the Beast Cave, where we must clear at least eighty percent of the fierce beasts on the first layer." Li Bin’s voice in the footage had a palpable murderous air.
"This defense line is relatively weak. I’ve already notified them. You all need to head there immediately for support. I’ll send you the coordinates."
"Understood."
The roar of the jet thundered across the sky, layers of white waves rolling as it instantly surpassed supersonic speed. At this moment, the twenty-member squad on the jet was equipping parachutes, checking all their gear.
Su Mu stood up and walked into the cabin. The jet pilot, fully armed, was a Sixth Level Martial Artist with the rank of major.
"Sir, we are approximately ten minutes away from the coordinate location."
Su Mu nodded. The cabin provided a better field of view, and he stood there looking down at the earth below.
His vision, having undergone metamorphosis and after consuming the Flood Dragon Blood, far surpassed other martial artists of the same tier. Even the pilot, with excellent eyesight, could only vaguely make out the landscape below.
But in Su Mu’s eyes, everything was crystal clear. Soon, several pitch-black holes appeared on the ground. Even though it wasn’t his first time seeing a Beast Cave, Su Mu was still shaken.
Looking down from the height of the jet, countless small black dots continuously emerged from those several pitch-black holes, unending.
These small black dots were none other than fierce beasts, each at least several meters tall.
This was the first time Su Mu had seen such a multitude of fierce beasts. Compared to this, the beast tide he encountered at Linjiang Base was like a drop in the ocean!
These fierce beasts surged out of the bottomless Beast Cave like a relentless swarm of ants.
Outside the Beast Cave, several solid and tall walls had been erected. At this moment, heavy machine guns were continuously firing, cannons blazing, roaring as they struck the earth.
But they only managed to take down a handful of black dots. The scene was despair-inducing, with no signs of the beast tide ending in sight.
"Sir, we are getting closer to the coordinate location, expected to arrive in about three minutes. The beast tide often includes flying fierce beasts, so the jet can’t land directly."
"I will descend to a height of around three to four thousand meters. Your squad will need to perform a quick descent next."
"Understood."
Soon, the rear hatch of the jet slowly lifted, and gale-force winds roared into the aircraft as Su Mu returned to the rear cabin.
"Everyone, prepare yourselves. After landing, report to the front-line officer immediately, and follow all subsequent orders from the front-line officer."
Huh?!
What does this mean?
All the squad members were puzzled, and Su Mu’s deep eyes gazed toward the beast tide below, where the heart within his chest beat powerfully.
The golden blood within him surged, growing hot and boiling.
As Su Mu approached the open rear hatch, a fire ignited in his chest.
The furious wind blew through his short, black hair, and a trace of excitement appeared on his resolute face. Taking a deep breath, he spoke softly.
"A battle to my heart’s content... I’ve waited a long time for this moment."
"Foodie, let’s go!"
...
A Martial Arts Golden Body, six or seven meters tall, wielded a dominating horse-cutting long saber.
Boom!
The horse-cutting long saber swung, and a condensed, terrifying blade light swept out instantly. Blood exploded, and the fierce beasts were cleaved in two wherever the blade light went, falling like cut grass.
The ferocious beasts were not all killed in this strike. A few massive fierce beasts were still alive, their separated upper bodies running forward for several meters without dying.
Instead, they convulsed on the ground for a few seconds, or were crushed into pulp by subsequent rampant fierce beasts before dying completely. The higher the tier of the fierce beast, the more astounding its life force.
The area that had just been cleared was quickly filled again with an incessant stream of fierce beasts.
Zhen Yue gasped heavily, his breathing coarse, and even though he was a Martial Arts Grandmaster, with Three Flowers Unite and abundant qi and blood, he could kill dozens of fierce beasts with one strike.
But even he couldn’t endure such prolonged intense combat. Zhen Yue shook his head vigorously, the blurry world becoming a bit clearer, but the Martial Arts Golden Body behind him was dimmer and more illusory.
"Commander!"
A fully-armed soldier hurried over, handing him a canteen filled with specially-made restorative Spiritual Liquid.
Zhen Yue, eyes bloodshot, grabbed it with one hand, drank it all in one swig, and only after several rough breaths did he regain his composure, "Where’s the reinforcement? Tell me, when will the reinforcements arrive?"
The location Zhen Yue was stationed at was rugged and mountainous, not suitable for setting up too much heavy firepower. Coupled with the current tight lines, much heavy firepower had been redirected to other Beast Cave fronts.
"Other Beast Caves have seen Grandmaster-level fierce beasts appearing. The reinforcements are on their way. The area already requested reinforcements from the Southern General War Zone... and just now, we received a message; a twenty-member elite squad from the General War Zone is on their way."
"Damn it!"
"A twenty-member squad is useless unless there’s a General-level member. The current problem isn’t high-tier fierce beasts, but the sheer number of middle and low-tier fierce beasts. If we don’t get reinforcements soon..."
Zhen Yue cursed under his breath, though he left his last thought unsaid: they might have to abandon the first line of defense and retreat to the second.
The war zone soldiers weren’t all martial artists; there were also regular soldiers responsible for suppressing fires with hot weapons. Once the fierce beasts breached the line and tore through even a narrow opening, the casualties among regular soldiers would be incalculable.
Despite this, Zhen Yue had thoughts of retreating, but unless absolutely necessary, he would never retreat.
He gripped his horse-cutting long saber tightly, planning to charge and kill once more.
A thunderous beast roar echoed.
Hearing the roar, Zhen Yue’s heart trembled, and his expression became extremely grave as he instantly recognized it wasn’t an ordinary fierce beast but a Grandmaster-level fierce beast. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
"Damn it, it’s after my life!"
A towering fierce beast, over ten meters tall, larger than Zhen Yue’s Martial Arts Golden Body, appeared, fully red-furred, with blood-red eyes, in the form of an ape.
Zhen Yue roared as he rushed toward the source of the beast howl.
"Everyone there, retreat, fall back within the defense line!"
"Machine guns and cannons, fire at this direction, suppress fire once, and clear me a path."
"Thankfully, it’s just one. As long as I can take this one down, I can still hold out."
However, in the next moment.
Zhen Yue’s expression changed drastically, his pupils contracted violently, as another equally massive fierce beast appeared, a giant black and white furry spider that instilled fear upon sight.
"Grandmaster-level fierce beasts... not one, but two!" A soldier, drenched in blood, cried out in panic, unable to conceal the terror on his face.
