When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 1252 - 815: Assault of the Powerful Desolate Beasts (Part 2)

Chapter 1252: Chapter 815: Assault of the Powerful Desolate Beasts (Part 2)

The two frontlines almost simultaneously sent out cries for help.

Qian Qingbo looked at Elder Luo, who was silent for a moment before replying, "Understood, I will immediately send support!"

The actual number of Heavenly Connection experts in Jiuzhou is not small, numbering over a hundred. Apart from a portion left to guard the inland areas, the rest are on the frontline.

But the Jiuzhou front line is too long. With over a hundred experts spread out, each person’s section to oversee spans thousands of miles.

Moreover, not every expert is at the later stage of Heavenly Connection; most are at the early stage. Sometimes, dealing with even one early-stage desolate beast might require two or more early-stage experts, so manpower allocation often falls short.

Without orders, other frontlines cannot leave their posts to support others, as a possible strong desolate beast attack might lead to a breach in their line of defense.

Jingzhou and Jizhou are adjacent, with Jingzhou’s ninety-eight battle sections and Jizhou’s second battle section very close to each other, approximately a few hundred miles apart by the placement of these sixteen desolate beasts—a negligible distance for Heavenly Connection experts.

"Ye Changfeng from Xuzhou, how is the situation there?" Elder Luo inquired.

Xuzhou, defended by Ye Changfeng, lies next to Jizhou, being the closest frontline.

"Reporting, desolate beasts appeared in Xuzhou’s nineteenth battle section, I’m at the fiftieth section, not yet resolved," Ye Changfeng responded.

To manage with comprehensive consideration, the general commander of each state usually guards the middle section, specifically the fiftieth section, making adjustments based on circumstances.

Elder Luo, as the commander, was at the junction of Liangzhou and Jizhou.

"Yin Nianqing from Yangzhou, how about your situation?" Elder Luo asked again.

"Reporting, I’ve just arrived at the desolate beast point, one at the mid-stage, another at the late-stage Heavenly Connection, I’m dispatching three people, preparing for battle," Yin Nianqing responded.

"Report the situation at any time!"

Elder Luo surveyed the frontline situation. Currently, Heavenly Connection stage desolate beasts in other states were increasing in number, reaching six or seven, with many experts converging to address them.

But Jizhou and Jingzhou remained the most populated and in the most crisis.

"Report from Jizhou! The Heavenly Connection stage desolate beast here is less than a kilometer from the city wall, there’s no chance the wall could hold, I need support!" Professor Guo’s urgent voice rang out again.

"I’m on my way!" Elder Luo responded.

Being the commander does not mean he will not engage in battle.

Qian Qingbo immediately said, "Professor Luo, not wise!"

"You may find it unwise, but the safety of Jiuzhou is not child’s play!" Elder Luo immediately left the command room.

Qian Qingbo had no choice but to follow.

He couldn’t truly stop Elder Luo. In this situation, ensuring Jiuzhou’s safety is the priority. Even if there’s danger, Elder Luo couldn’t just watch the Jiuzhou defenses fall. Qian Qingbo’s task was to protect Elder Luo’s safety.

"This is for concealing yourself, take care of Daoist Qingde!" Qian Qingbo handed Xiang Beifei’s item to Xiao Sheng as he passed beside Daoist Qingde.

Xiao Sheng looked at the crack that appeared on his system interface and asked, "I have a question, and I need you to answer it."

"What question?"

"There’s a crack on my system interface! But I felt an aura, it’s Immortal Realm power. If I expand this crack, can I use it?" Xiao Sheng questioned.

"How did a crack appear on your system?" Qian Qingbo asked, surprised.

"That power, it damaged the elder’s strength, I came into contact with it," Xiao Sheng said.

Qian Qingbo was silent for a moment, then said, "That’s the power of the Heavenly Dao. Unless absolutely necessary, don’t use it. Once you expand the crack and wield that power, you’ll be obliterated by the Great Desolate Realm’s Heavenly Dao power. All my Yin-Yang primal energy is used to protect Daoist Qingde."

"I understand, no one can harm the elder." Xiao Sheng wasn’t concerned about the beast tide anymore, as he clearly understood his responsibility.

Qian Qingbo initially intended to protect personally, but now he couldn’t keep Daoist Qingde close, so he handed over a pile of high-grade powerful spiritual power crystals given by Xiang Beifei to Xiao Sheng before leaving quickly.

Boom!

The distant sky seemed as though swallowed by a black mist, appearing forested and oppressive; in the rolling clouds, flashes of lightning as thick as pillars continuously crackled, striking down towards a person below!

The lightning seemed to tear the sky apart, mixed with a fierce momentum, as it struck down towards a solitary figure!

The figure stood steadfast and tall, just like a calm mountain; it was undoubtedly Professor Guo!

As the lightning from the sky struck, Professor Guo didn’t dodge; instead, he calmly watched these terrifying bolts before his body emitted waves of brown light!

Buzz!

The light rippled out like waves, spinning around him; however, each circle spun in different directions, appearing chaotic, yet amidst this chaos, there was a sense of order.

Crunch!

The lightning struck him, the rotating spiritual power waves rapidly circulated, absorbing all the lightning, forming a concentric electric field around Professor Guo.

At this moment, from the ground where Professor Guo stood, a massive claw emerged from the soil, as black as ink, like black iron, several hundred meters long, with six sharp claws aiming to crush Professor Guo!

Yet Professor Guo let out a low shout, and the lightning from his body swept out instantly towards those descending claws!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The claws were immediately engulfed by the lightning, which seemed guided into a more formidable attack, shattering the black-iron claws!

Counterattack!

Professor Guo’s most powerful cultivation technique, his counterattack could absorb other’s attacks, channeling them through his spiritual power to strengthen and redirect outward.

When the lightning burst the claw, the overwhelming ray of lightning pierced into the ground, followed by a sharp wail; the earth split open with cracks each about ten meters wide, as a desolate beast several hundred meters tall crawled out of them.

This desolate beast appeared slick, lacking robust, solid muscles; instead, its segmented body resembled that of a bamboo bug, but every segment was enormous, providing a substantial oppressive force despite the lack of muscle.

There’s no record of this desolate beast in Jiuzhou’s archives, for it normally wouldn’t appear here.

Meanwhile, from the sky’s dense clouds, a huge blue head emerged, the head alone spanning dozens of meters. It was a giant bird covered entirely in spines, with feathers glowing with lightning. Its long beak, eerily splitting into four sections during roars, each section lined with rows of several meters long sharp teeth!

Krr! Krr!

The massive thunderbird in the sky roared again, lightning bursting towards Professor Guo. Concurrently, the enormous bamboo bug attacked Professor Guo. Meanwhile, magma spewed from the left ground crack, forming a long snake shape, also attacking Professor Guo!

Three late-stage Heavenly Connection desolate beasts!

Professor Guo’s expression became increasingly grim, but he knew well he faced not only three late-stage Heavenly Connection desolate beasts but also another hidden beast lurking in the air, waiting to strike!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Magma and lightning converged, rushing towards Professor Guo, while the claws sparkled brightly, enclosing Professor Guo airtight. Professor Guo immediately absorbed the magma and lightning, redirecting them back towards the bamboo bug!

But this time, when the lightning and magma hit the bamboo bug, it merely crackled and popped, remarkably bouncing back the lightning!

Lightning was no longer effective!

At this time, a sudden urgent sound came from the air, slamming into Professor Guo, sending him flying backward!
