Chapter 212: Support (II)
Outside the city, the mutant beasts were frightened and began to flee in all directions.
One kilometer.
500 meters.
200 meters.
In the blink of an eye, a ball of black smoke had caught up to them.
This group of mutant beasts was formed by dozens of steel-backed boars. Their strong bodies allowed them to be like charging, beast-shaped tanks when they ran.
However, under the watchful eyes of the soldiers, the strongest warrior-level steel-backed boar was enveloped by the black smoke and let out a scream.
The soldiers watching the battle on the city wall were still wondering whether the steel-backed boar was injured or killed when dozens of shadow swords shot out, each of which nailed a steel-backed boar to the ground.
“That’s amazing.”
Countless people gasped.
If this group of steel-backed boars had charged at the city wall, they could have completely destroyed the city wall that was more than 100 meters long. But at this moment, they had been killed instantly.
The black smoke dissipated. Other than a young man, the other people quickly moved to harvest the materials from the steel-backed boars.
A few minutes later, the steel skin on the backs of all the steel-backed boars was peeled off.
These pieces of steel skin were suitable for making into armor that was both close-fitting and had high defense.
They then cut up the steel-backed boar at the warrior realm and divided the mutant beast meat into small pieces, which were distributed among the 100 over people.
As for the mutant beast meat of the steel-backed boars at the level of the disciple realm, Chen Yiming had no intention of taking it. He simply abandoned the corpses where they lay on the ground.
Then, the group of people were enveloped by the black smoke again and quickly chased after the other mutant beasts.
When the guardian of Creek Mountain City led the group of warriors up the city wall, they just happened to see this scene.
The speed at which they eliminated the mutant beasts was too fast. Even if the guardian of Creek Mountain City personally took action, he would still need to attack several times in a row to have the confidence to kill the steel-backed boar at the warrior realm.
Not everyone’s internal force attribute leaned towards lethality. With the steel skin that was strengthened by internal force, it was not so easy to kill the boar instantly.
The mutant beasts fled in all directions. It was usually very inefficient to chase them down one by one, and it was easy for them to attack from all directions.
Just as the people on the city wall were asking each other who the young man was, a few kilometers away, two two-tailed cats that had mastered the transformation of internal force stopped the ball of black smoke.
The two-tailed cats had evolved from wild cats. They no longer looked weak, and their bodies had already exceeded 20 meters in length. Their eyes emitted a terrifying glint.
Their two long tails swayed gently, emitting a silver glow. Even the people watching the battle on the city wall could not help but be attracted by it, and for a moment, they fell into a daze.
“It’s fake!”
A deafening voice exploded in everyone’s ears.
The guardian of Creek Mountain City noticed the small movements of the two-tailed cat and shouted.
The group of warriors was shocked and broke out of their daze. In an instant, cold sweat broke out on their backs.
This was too terrifying. They fell into the trap even though they were a few kilometers away.
If they were confused in battle, the consequences would be unimaginable. They might even be killed without even knowing how they died.
“Why is there only one left?”
Looking at the two-tailed cat facing the ball of black smoke, the group of warriors asked in confusion.
However, this time, even without the reminder from the city guardian, everyone knew that the number was fake. From the beginning to the end, there was only one two-tailed cat.
The other soldiers at the disciple realm were not so lucky. The loud shout from the city guardian did not wake them up.
Rows of soldiers were lying in various positions on the passages on the city wall. Every one of them had a blank look in their eyes and saliva was dripping from the corners of their mouths.
When the city guardian and dozens of warriors saw the soldiers, their expressions turned solemn.
If this two-tailed cat held back the city guardian and confused the high-level warriors, Creek Mountain City might be instantly destroyed by the beast tide.
At that time, even if Creek Mountain City had another city guardian to defend it, it would probably be difficult for them to fend off the beast tide alone.
Of the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, very few would be able to escape. Most of them would become food for the mutant beasts.
At this moment, it was quiet outside Creek Mountain City. The fleeing mutant beasts stopped in their tracks and watched.
The reason why the mutant beasts wandered freely in the wilderness was because there were powerful creatures among the mutant beasts that were able to make human cities fear them.
Of course, if those at the peak of the warrior realm appeared again, without the support of the two bloodthirsty wolves in the sea of flowers, the mutant beasts that had escaped from there would continue to run away.
On the city wall, the soldiers who were still confused and could not wake up were carried away on stretchers by the soldiers who had rushed over from the city and sent to the hospital for treatment.
The people who were still watching the battle were extremely anxious.
The outcome of the battle between the young man and the two-tailed cat was no longer just the result from a mere battle. It would affect the next move of Creek Mountain City.
Chen Yiming could tell that the two-tailed cat’s internal force was of the illusion attribute. The reason why he didn’t attack it immediately was because he wanted to appear normal.
After putting on a show, he rode the black fog and approached the two-tailed cat in a flash.
“Swish swish swish!”
Shadow swords shot out from the black smoke one after another, creating a sword formation in the air that sealed off all routes of escape for the two-tailed cat.
The two-tailed cat let out a sharp cry. Its entire body lit up with a dazzling silver light, and it left behind a fake illusion at its original spot. Its true body nimbly moved out of the sword formation.
This was the result of Chen Yiming suppressing his strength. Otherwise, the two-tailed cat would have been nailed to the ground by the sword formation in the blink of an eye.
The two sides quickly exchanged more than ten blows.
Among those at the same level, the two-tailed cat’s direct combat strength was not that strong. What it was good at was confusing its opponents and finding their weaknesses during the fight, then waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.
If it encountered an enemy who was stronger than it, it could even create an illusion when it fled to interfere with the enemy’s pursuit. Its ability to survive was top-notch.
From the looks of it, the two sides were well-matched. On the whole, it was determined that the young man was stronger. After all, he was carrying more than 100 burdens along with him.
This made the people on the city wall heave a sigh of relief.
It was impossible for the two-tailed cat not to understand the situation that its opponent could still fight to a draw while having so many burdens. It would probably find an opportunity to retreat soon.
From the looks of it, Creek Mountain City was not in any danger of being destroyed for the time being.
After a few more rounds, the two-tailed cat indeed had the intention to retreat temporarily, just as the people on the city wall had expected.
However, how could Chen Yiming just let it leave?
“Swish swish swish!”
Another row of swords shot out. However, the strength of the shadow sword’s internal force had increased by several times, and its speed had also increased by 30%.
The two-tailed cat’s hair stood on end as it sensed the impending danger. After leaving behind an illusion, it unleashed all its potential to retreat.
This was not the end. As it retreated, it kept changing directions and created two more illusions.
In a short period of time, three illusions was the limit of the two-tailed cat’s abilities. This was its strongest confusion attack.
However, Chen Yiming also had the illusion-based internal force, and the strength of his internal force far exceeded that of the two-tailed cat. It could be said that the illusions that were used to interfere with his attacks were useless.
Under Chen Yiming’s precise calculations, the three shadow swords pierced through the two-tailed cat’s protective internal force, from its heart to its tail, pinning it to the ground.
“Just now, both sides were evenly matched. Why did the tables suddenly turn?”
The spectators on the city wall were dumbfounded.
The defense strength of the internal force with the illusion attribute was indeed the lowest among those of the same level.
However, to be able to pierce through it with one strike, other than the fact that the young man’s internal force was mainly focused on lethality, his strength must also be at the top of his level.
Time was running out, so Chen Yiming ignored the stunned crowd on the city wall.
He dispersed the black fog and arranged for his people to quickly deal with the corpse of the two-tailed cat.
Its fur, which had been nourished by the internal force of the illusion attribute for many years, had a magical ability. It could be peeled off and made into a defensive equipment imbued with the illusion ability.
As for the remaining parts of the body, with the combined efforts of more than a hundred people, they were quickly divided into small pieces, and each of them was packed in a large bag.
In the end, even its blood was collected in special containers.
The two-tailed cat was not of much use to Chen Yiming, but all of its materials were like treasures to the Chen corporation.
The team would leave some manpower in the surrounding cities and rent a warehouse to store the loot they had obtained along the way. After the battles with the mutant beasts ended, they would transport the loot back to East Lake City.
