Chapter 264 In front of the corner tower
The Chen family dynasty's psionic cannons have two modes. One is a simple psionic impact, which consumes a huge amount of spirit stones to launch an attack without physical ammunition. The second is a physical cannonball, which is used less often because it greatly shortens the lifespan of the magical artifact.
Now, one after another, enormous shells, each the size of an adult armored rhinoceros, were loaded into the cannon barrel, and roared out of the barrel with a divine command.
Streaks of light were emitted from different times, different locations, and different angles, but all arrived at their destination at the same time.
The merfolk did not sit idly by. The black water that had just submerged the first floor instantly floated up, forming shields. The two sides clashed fiercely, and the shattered spiritual energy spread outwards like a tide.
Zhong Ming immediately buried his head and hid behind the battlements. A terrifying wave of spiritual energy swept over the city wall, even blowing away some defensive structures.
Once the storm had subsided, looking up again, one could see that a large hole had been blasted into the left side of the giant bone abyss fish's skeleton, with countless merman limbs and broken arms scattered out as the corpse lurched. The right side was less injured, but there were still several broken pieces.
The phantom of Xuanwu swayed precariously, but it didn't matter; they had arrived at their destination.
"Activate the inner city formation at full power!"
"The Path of the Dark Abyss devours all things; black water transforms into matter, rise!"
The solid inner city formation and the giant fish collided violently once again. Zhong Ming could hear the creaking and cracking sounds as the spiritual runes of the formation collapsed tragically, and one of the main routes for transporting spiritual energy was destroyed on the spot.
However, the opponent also fared poorly; horrifying cracks appeared on its skull as it slammed heavily against the city wall. The wall teetered on the brink of collapse, but it did not crumble.
The giant mouth of the fish head was positioned at the same height as the city wall. As soon as the giant fish opened its mouth, countless elite merfolk rushed out of the fish's mouth and onto the city wall.
At the fish's eye location, the Merfolk Foundation Establishment cultivator, who was prepared in advance, flew out like a madman, condensing a spell in mid-air and slamming it down fiercely towards the city wall.
They wanted to be the first to break down the inner city walls and bring the black water into the inner city, thus gaining an environmental advantage.
The merfolk at the Golden Core level were even more ruthless, leaping from the top of the fish's head and charging towards the highest platform in the inner city.
In an instant, the inner city floor was completely flipped open, and countless trapping formations were triggered. Behind each seemingly ordinary wall, countless killing moves were revealed. Several defensive array barriers, some real and some fake, were mixed together, blocking the sky.
The commander-in-chief frowned. The enemy was stronger than he had expected, and had actually broken through two layers of defense in one go.
"Have the assault team in front of the tunnel cease fire, seal the tunnel entrance, and immediately move upstairs to the defensive positions to join the battle."
"Commander-in-chief, should we... wake that one up?"
"It's not that time yet. For him to take action, at least a Nascent Soul cultivator would have to break into the building, right?" He gave a wry smile. When the one who was in seclusion underground came out, he would become so irritable that he wouldn't distinguish between friend and foe. Going to his seclusion room to call him was a matter of risking one's life.
......
Zhong Ming froze for a moment, looking at the side that he had expected to be safe. The place where countless squads were stationed had been smashed open, and most of the merfolk jumped forward from the fish mouths and directly into the inner city, but a few enemies began to sweep through the defensive forces on the city wall.
"Retreat! Retreat to the corner tower! Rely on the corner tower's defenses for a counterattack!" someone shouted from behind. The surrounding forces quickly converged on the corner tower. On the corner tower, unexpected openings appeared in various locations, from which spells shot out. A dense barrage of spiritual energy instantly covered the city wall passage between the Giant Bone Dark Abyss Fish and the corner tower.
Zhongming's squad sprinted to the corner tower, then moved a few steps forward, using the sturdy black wood entrance area as cover, ready for a fierce battle.
Enemies who have broken through the area of fire are definitely wounded and ready to be attacked. Seize the moment when they have just emerged from that devastating path and are about to relax.
However, things didn't go as they expected; the merfolk weren't fools.
"Tempering Rainbow, from the side!"
On the side wall, a section of the tentacles of a giant octopus had already emerged, its suckers firmly attached to the city bricks.
The spell struck its body, but was deflected by its firm flesh.
Zhong Ming took the lead and charged towards the flank, expecting to fight a mermaid. However, what rushed up was not a mermaid at all, but a crab monster.
This crab demon wasn't very big; its pincers were of different sizes. The smaller one was about the size of the iron tongs used to clamp charcoal in a clay stove, while the larger one was about the size of Yue Kaishan...
Zhong Ming didn't think much of it. Upon meeting him, he unleashed a powerful attack, the only difference between attacking a mermaid and attacking a demon beast. He hurled a spear at them.
"Dang~"
The sudden cold snap bounced back, and the powerful recoil almost sent Zhong Ming flying. The blow hit the opponent's large pincers, but it had no effect whatsoever. Even the frost only left a small white mark on the pincers.
Zhong Ming stumbled and before he could regain his footing, in a flash, the opponent's slender pincers stabbed at him. The pincers were slightly open, like two parallel spears, and their speed was astonishing.
Matt extended his machete to block a blow for Zhong Ming, but the enemy's strength was surprisingly great, knocking the machete away. It spun several times in the air before landing in the inner city.
"Oh no, what is this thing?"
Matt retreated several steps, throwing out several hidden weapons from his sleeves. The weapons clanged and clattered as they struck the opponent. Some were blocked by the large pincers, while a few that pierced through the gaps were deflected by the large, curved armor.
Taking advantage of the opportunity created by Matt, Zhong Ming gained a foothold and then unleashed the "Spring and Autumn Hook and Sickle Spear Technique - Grain Rain".
This time, however, Gu Yu's offensive was not scattered like a shower of flowers across various points, but rather a concentrated attack on a single point.
Countless thrusts landed on the enemy's body at an extremely high frequency, and the incomparably sharp spear light shattered continuously in front of the opponent.
This demonic crab is at the peak of the second rank. Its shell has been refined to surpass that of a mid-grade magic weapon. Its pincers are like a spear and a shield, and it can attack and defend in narrow areas like a heavily armored warrior. Its combat power is astonishing.
After being poked dozens of times, it seemed a little irritated, and its small pincers quickly thrust out, forcing Zhong Ming to change position.
“I’ll hold it off from the front. Think of something, Matt.”
"I have a damn good idea. If that fire-damage teammate were still alive right now, I would definitely roast him like a crab."
"Wait, fire?"
Their eyes immediately fell on Chen Dahai, who was busy shooting arrows.
Isn't that fire on your leg an extremely terrifying and eerie flame?
