Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 617 - 297: The Beast Disaster Strikes, Responses from All Sides, Advance Payments and Guarantees
As the leader of the Desert Wolf Race, Wolf Ao, a Level 29 Evolver, ascended to the mountain top, he let out a howl that shook the Wilderness...
The very next moment, the entire Desert Wolf Race, receiving the command and signal, composed of tens of thousands of Evolved Desolate Wolves, all raised their heads in a chorus of howls.
The sound resonated from the peaks of the mountain range in front of Oasis Town to the horizon of the Wilderness on both sides of Oasis Avenue, echoing continuously.
The howling moaned endlessly, like a mixture of grievance and anger, causing listeners to feel an immediate restlessness, as if a great catastrophe would befall them any moment.
At this moment, not only did everyone in the contest arena in front of Oasis Town hear the wolf pack’s roar, but even those within Oasis Town, especially the more perceptive Tier Two or Tier One Late Stage Evolvers, vaguely heard, in their trance, the waves of wolf howls from over ten kilometers away.
Due to the distance, at most the Oasis could hear the Tier Two Desolate Wolf Beasts, whose roar was exceptionally penetrating, but the deterrence effect within those roars could awaken a primal unease etched in human genes.
An ominous sense of crisis immediately surged in everyone’s heart, foreboding an imminent threat.
Especially within local families of Oasis Town, the remaining two Tier Two Early Stage Evolvers, who were the leaders of Dawn Village and Mechanical Village, as well as powerful Rock Horse Warriors.
However, at this moment, they were overwhelmed with inexplicable dread, as if facing a terrifying tidal wave about to engulf them, causing the muscles on their Rock-Horned Horse bodies to tremble uncontrollably.
At this moment, they knew better than anyone the terrifying danger hidden within the faintly heard roars from the front.
That a Tier Two Early Rock Horse Warrior would feel fear could only mean the presence of a mid or late-stage nemesis, namely the Desolate Wolf Beast’s released deterrence.
Moreover, the roars contained multiple timbres of wolf howls, coming from the front and both sides, suggesting several Desolate Wolf Beasts were currently surrounding the front and sides of the Oasis, sealing off Oasis Town completely with a pincer movement.
It was only at this point they recalled a rumor circulating among the lower strata within Oasis Town’s villages over the past two days, especially among the permanent residents of the Fifth Village.
Last month, a small Desert Wolf Pack roamed near Oasis Town, frantically hunting and slaughtering the nearby desert bottom, known as the Gray Reaper.
Because of their heinous acts, they were eventually exterminated by the joint efforts of several Desert Hunting Squads.
But the matter did not end there. As retaliation for Oasis Town’s counterattack, a large swarm of Desert Wolves was said to soon come seeking vengeance.
Among them, a large number of Evolved Desolate Wolves would even lead the pack to directly attack various villages, hunting permanent residents as prey.
Rumors quickly spread, causing panic among the lower-tier townspeople. Even some Deserters, having received the news, hurriedly gathered at the end of the slave convoy in Oasis Town, seeking shelter.
Initially, the two Tier Two leaders naturally scoffed at these rumors, even sneering at them, believing it was a deliberate distraction by the Oasis Church.
Moreover, even if some Evolved Desolate Wolves came, at most there would be Leader-level Giant Wolves of Late Tier One. Ordinary Evolvers might struggle against them, but as Tier Two powerhouses, even facing their nemesis in the Desert Wolf Race, they remained unafraid.
After all, the gap between Tier One and Tier Two was enough to tear any advantages apart.
But until this moment, hearing the distant wolf howls, the two realized the rumors might have been true, and it was indeed the roar of Tier Two Desolate Wolf Beasts.
Although Tier Two Rock Horse Warriors were powerful, they stood no chance against similarly leveled Tier Two Desolate Wolf Beasts.
After all, even the Tier Two Rock Horse Giant Beasts could be preyed upon by Desolate Wolf Beasts. In a one-on-one duel, escaping the Fine Steel Wolf Fang of a Desolate Wolf Beast was nearly impossible.
Although Rock Horse Warriors followed the Rock-Horned Horse path and inherited the bloodline abilities of the Rock-Horned Horse family, they were, at best, mini versions of Rock-Horned Horses.
Even as Tier Two Rock Horse Warriors, they only possessed less than a fifth of the strength of the Clan Leader-level Rock Horse Giant Beast.
Even with the enhancements of Rock Horse Armor, they could at most match a third of the combat power of a same-level Rock Horse Giant Beast.
The two sides, whether in size or durability, were not of the same level.
Therefore, a Desolate Wolf Beast capable of hunting Rock Horse Giant Beasts was an overwhelming adversary in front of Rock Horse Warriors, the natural bane of Rock Horse Warriors.
Even three fully armed Rock Horse Warriors would struggle to gain an advantage against a single Tier Two Desolate Wolf Beast without a significant evolutionary level gap, otherwise facing a one-sided slaughter.
Now, with several Tier Two Desolate Wolf Beasts coming, even with the two Tier Two Rock Horse Warriors, plus the leading Li Hao, a Level 26 Mid-Tier Two Rock Horse Warrior, along with other Tier Two Evolvers in Oasis Town...
It would still be difficult to deal with these predatory Tier Two Giant Beasts. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Their attack methods, honed over years of combat with the Rock-Horned Horse Race, have evolved into a terrifying armor-piercing ability.
Whether it is the Heavy Armored Battle Car or the Oasis Battleship’s one-meter-thick alloy shell, they cannot withstand the bites of the Tier Two Desolate Wolf Beasts.
Once approached closely, doom is certain.
Thus, the only thing the tens of thousands of residents of Oasis Town can rely on for support is the sense of security brought by the crystallization of human technology, through gunpowder and firearms.
Only with the ferocious assault of artillery can the massive invasion of the Desert Wolf Race be suppressed, grasping a thread of survival in this crisis.
