Chapter 199: Full Power Unleashed
“They can actually injure the Unicorn Golden Winged Snake?!”
“Isn’t the Unicorn Golden Winged Snake’s hide so tough that even B5 grade weapons can hardly pierce it? Just how strong is the penetration power of their guns?!”
“If we could have such weapons, wouldn’t we be able to move freely in the wilderness in the future?”
The people present looked at the wounded Unicorn Golden Winged Snake. After a brief shock, they turned to the Desert Eagles in the hands of Yi Ye Fu Yun and the others, and a trace of greed surfaced in their eyes. The other teams of the city guard were especially affected, their eyes reddening.
Previously, when Yi Ye Fu Yun and the others used Desert Eagles to kill mid-level monsters, it was still acceptable. After all, any team that went into the wilderness to hunt could kill mid-level monsters, and they just felt that weapons like the Desert Eagle were convenient and could end battles quickly.
But now, seeing them easily injure a high-level monster, and not just any high-level monster, but a Unicorn Golden Winged Snake whose strength ranked among the top of its tier, how could this not stir their hearts.
Even with the city guard captains fully armed, they could only block a high-level monster for a short while and barely cause some superficial wounds. Wanting to damage the bones and tendons of a high-level monster was almost impossible.
This was also why high-level martial artists generally chose to run when they encountered high-level monsters. Faced with a monster that could not be killed, if their stamina and internal force were exhausted, death was inevitable.
If they could injure the bones and tendons of a high-level monster, many high-level martial artists would probably be willing to risk everything.
The value of a high-level monster far exceeded that of a mid-level monster. Its flesh and blood alone could help martial artists improve, while some materials from high-level monsters could be used to forge tier 2 weapons and equipment, which were far beyond the tier 1 weapons and equipment they were currently using.
However, the various city guard teams only had bloodshot eyes for a brief moment before they quickly realized that the damage Yi Ye Fu Yun and the others dealt to the Unicorn Golden Winged Snake was not as great as they had imagined.
The over-thirty-meter-long Unicorn Golden Winged Snake, after a shrill scream, looked at Yi Ye Fu Yun and the others with eyes filled more with fury than pain.
And during that brief scream, the bloody holes caused by the Desert Eagles had already stopped bleeding. The muscles inside writhed and recovered, and compared to the enormous body of the Unicorn Golden Winged Snake, bowl-sized wounds were like needle pricks on a human. This level of injury, while painful, was far from fatal, not to mention that the wounds were visibly healing.
“This boss has terrifying recovery power!” Fang Zhen could not help clicking his tongue as he watched the wounds that had already recovered by fifty to sixty percent.
With such horrifying recovery power, even if the Unicorn Golden Winged Snake just stood there and let them shoot at will, they probably still would not be able to kill it.
“Wu Shang, what do we do now? We barely have any energy crystal shards left.” Zhang Qing Wei looked at the Unicorn Golden Winged Snake, which was in pain but not seriously injured, and spoke anxiously.
The reason they had waited until now to use the Desert Eagles was because the guns consumed energy crystal shards rapidly. One energy crystal shard only allowed twenty shots, and each of them had only two shards, meaning at most forty shots.
They had already spent quite a few in killing the Golden Winged Snakes, and now they only had one shard left.
If this one shard could not settle the Unicorn Golden Winged Snake, they would then have to face it directly.
With the power the Unicorn Golden Winged Snake had just displayed, they would absolutely die if they made contact even once.
“Everyone, concentrate fire on its weak points. Reduce as much of the boss’s health as we can. This scenario’s objective is to save people, not necessarily to kill this boss. We only need to stall for time.” Luo Wu Shang watched the team already retreating, giving commands while aiming at the Unicorn Golden Winged Snake’s eyes.
But the Unicorn Golden Winged Snake’s reaction was extremely fast. It forcibly dodged the bullet, which only struck its cheek, and the bullet could go no further once it hit bone.
Seeing the retreating team and realizing the rescue target was already secured, Fang Zhen, Yi Ye Fu Yun, and the others understood that from here on, it was all about buying time. They began attacking the vital points of the Unicorn Golden Winged Snake, forcing it to focus on defending itself, unable to pursue or launch effective attacks.
For a moment, only the ten people of the Obsidian Martial Arts Hall on the battlefield directly held back the Unicorn Golden Winged Snake, a high-level monster. The various city guard teams, meanwhile, escorted the martial artists from the attacked convoy and began to pull back.
But just as the two convoy groups merged and had retreated less than five hundred meters, the forest began to shake again. Three more Unicorn Golden Winged Snakes, each over thirty meters long, burst out of the trees, followed by more than two hundred Golden Winged Snakes encircling them.
“I’m going crazy! I must be crazy!”
“How can there be so many Golden Winged Snakes and Unicorn Golden Winged Snakes?”
The people present looked at the Golden Winged Snake swarm forming a net in the forest and the three Unicorn Golden Winged Snakes, and they could not help but feel despair.
If it had only been the additional two hundred Golden Winged Snakes, the combined forces of the two convoys might still have been able to hold on. But with three Unicorn Golden Winged Snakes joining in, their chances of survival were slim.
The three Unicorn Golden Winged Snakes flickered forward and appeared almost instantly in front of the city guard teams. The captains and vice captains of the three teams all stepped up to block them, while the other team members dealt with the Golden Winged Snakes at their sides.
Bang, bang, bang…
In just one exchange, the three captains in B6 grade battle armor were sent flying by a single swipe of the Unicorn Golden Winged Snakes’ tails, hurled more than forty meters away. All the trees along the way snapped, and after landing, the three captains rolled several times before they managed to steady themselves and charge forward again.
Although the three captains’ renewed charge made it look like they were fine, everyone present knew that even though their B6 grade battle armor had absorbed most of the damage, they had still been injured.
As for a mid-level martial artist in one of the teams who was fighting a Golden Winged Snake, he was struck incidentally by a Unicorn Golden Winged Snake’s tail. His B4 grade battle armor caved in on the spot and was severely damaged, and that mid-level martial artist’s body was mangled beyond recognition, obviously dead beyond doubt.
“Even a fully armed mid-level martial artist can’t withstand a single hit?” Bes, the blond-haired man in the crowd, felt his scalp go numb as he looked at the mid-level team member who had only been brushed by the tail.
In his view, the city guard mid-level martial artists were already very powerful figures, perhaps only slightly weaker than his uncle Wright.
But he had never expected that experts at such a level could not even take one blow in front of a high-level monster.
“Run! We can’t stay here anymore!” Wright, seeing the three Unicorn Golden Winged Snakes already breaking through the blockade, grabbed Bes and used martial skill footwork, rushing toward the area with fewer Golden Winged Snakes.
As for Kai Dewen of the North Ao Family, he also grabbed the giant man Deluo Ke and ran, no longer caring about the two mid-level martial artist family heads of the Peiwen and Bei En families.
The martial artists of the major powers present all scattered and fled as well.
Although Bai Luo had previously ordered that without his command no one was allowed to run, Bai Luo himself was now nowhere to be seen, and the battle was completely one-sided. Even if they fled, the City of Light Chasing would not hold them accountable afterward, since this was a hopeless battle.
“Brother Lin, you should run too. If you stay any longer, I’m afraid none of you will be able to escape.” Morton, seeing how bad the situation had become, called out a warning to Lin Qi, then prepared to take Rake to support the other teams against the Unicorn Golden Winged Snakes.
“Hall master, let’s leave quickly. The city guard has an absolute obligation to obey orders. Unless Bai Luo commands it, they will not retreat.” Meng Wei watched Morton and the others rushing to support and hurriedly explained to the unmoving Lin Qi.
“Leave? I’m afraid we can’t get away at all. If we want to live now, we have no choice but to fight.” Lin Qi glanced at the surrounding forest as another wave of disturbance rose. He could clearly sense several life forms in the forest with qi and blood as strong as the Unicorn Golden Winged Snakes.
These poorly hidden Unicorn Golden Winged Snakes were likely waiting for the trapped prey to scatter, so they could pick them off quickly.
“So we can only fight?” Meng Wei also felt the ominous aura and disturbance in the forest now. His gaze hardened as he stared at another Unicorn Golden Winged Snake emerging from the trees, madness in his eyes. “If that’s the case, then I’ll fight to the death with you, hall master!”
As that Unicorn Golden Winged Snake drew closer, the beginner and mid-level martial artists along its path were all mangled beyond recognition by its charge. When it was less than a hundred meters from Lin Qi and the others, Meng Wei wanted to rush forward, but Lin Qi grabbed him.
“A high-level monster, is it? Perfect. I can test my full power now.” After pulling Meng Wei back, Lin Qi picked up the black cudgel he had been carrying with one hand, and with the other he took a blood red bead from his pocket, suddenly boosting his internal force by fifty percent. He then swung the cudgel down toward the incoming Unicorn Golden Winged Snake.
High-level martial skill, Thunder Flash!
