Chapter 28: The Collapse of the Defensive Line (Part 2)

  The Three Treasures Spirit Equipment Battle Clothes belong to the category of Earth-level strong users, requiring the user to possess spiritual power to manifest. Active defense function, lower-grade battle clothes can only be used once, and need to spend time recharging after use; mid-grade battle clothes can be used twice; high-grade battle clothes can be used three times.

  A super-dimensional wave was dodged and hit a mountain peak ten thousand meters behind, shattering the entire mountain head.

  Initiating active defense doesn't mean absolute defense, the remaining one-tenth of the ultrasonic dimensional wave's power after being weakened by 90% still caused a Grandmaster-level warrior to cough up blood and suffer injuries.

  The human body is naturally weak, which cannot be denied. However, the physical body of a Grandmaster-level martial artist is much stronger than that of an ordinary human who has not practiced martial arts since birth, so this blow only caused injury, and combat effectiveness can still be exerted at 70%. After taking some healing medicine, combat effectiveness can recover to 90%.

  Humans, armed with spiritual power, and not inferior in number, occupy the absolute upper hand in the entire battle.

  However, as the battle progressed, human casualties began to appear. The spiritual armor of humans was not invincible, especially after the active defense function was fully used up. Relying solely on the defensive power of the third-grade war clothes, being hit by several barbaric beasts' supersonic dimensional waves would only result in death.

  On average, twenty fierce beasts must die for one Human side's Earth-level Martial Spirit Master to fall.

  The two mentalists standing outside the war circle did not take action, because they were needed to cut off the rear. At the first line of defense, if there were no mentalists cutting off the rear, the casualties of the entire defensive line would be even greater.

  A shaman must retain power to respond to emergencies, which is a consideration of the overall situation.

  As the number of intermediate barbarians decreased, the casualties of human land-level strongmen also decreased, and human attacks became stronger.

  Just then, a shocking and earth-shaking beast roar came from extremely far away behind the beast group.

  The entire battlefield heard it clearly.

  More than 190 Earth-level Martial Spirit Masters on the human side heard this voice and were stunned at the same time.

  Ma Chao's face changed, and he shouted loudly: "Everyone, move faster, solve them, we retreat!" At the same time, he ordered the rear: "Order, artillery troops to fire all shells, then quickly withdraw to the county city. The rest of the troops also gradually retreated in a queue, hurry up!"

  "Two masters, you are in charge of dispatching and maintaining the safety of the retreating troops."

  Two cultivators also knew the severity of the situation, and this beast roar was no ordinary one; no matter how much they valued it, it wouldn't be excessive.

  At the same time, Ma Chao also withdrew from the battlefield and took out the Ling Xun order to contact the county magistrate of Yanhuo County: "County Magistrate, it's not good. The beast group should have high-level barbarian beasts. We are preparing to retreat. You need to arrange a good reception on your side."

  "What? High-level savage beast?! This, this is impossible! Rakuga County is just an ordinary county town, how can it be attacked by high-level savage beasts?! What do they want to do?! Do they want to go to war with us humans?! Don't these beasts fear extinction?!" The mayor of Enka County roared in anger.

  "County head, must contact the city, ask the city to send a high hand to respond. If it's just an intermediate beast, we can handle it, but if it's a high-level beast, it's a bit too difficult for us. The highest level of weapons in the entire county is only D-type heavy spiritual sniper rifle and D-type large-caliber guardian spirit cannon, which can break through the defense of high-level beasts, but cannot kill them." Ma Chao said anxiously.

  This is not because the four-product Lingbing in Luoyang County cannot be bought, but because the use of spiritual artifacts and cold weapons is determined by the user's cultivation and strength. The three-product spiritual artifact weapon under the use of the earthly-level Wuling master is not weaker than the four-product hot weapon. The manufacture of hot weapons is much simpler than that of cold weapons, but its power is fixed. However, the power of spiritual artifacts is not fixed, the stronger the master, the stronger it becomes, and the weaker the master, the weaker it becomes.

  Mindforce weapons are a typical example, like the dragon scale shield in Zheng Xuan's hand, but it is the best among the top three spiritual artifacts. The power is great, and it will not be inferior to the D-type large-caliber spirit cannon used for city defense. Compared with the clumsiness of thermal weapons, the advantages of mindforce weapons are undoubtedly revealed.

  Yan Huo's face changed drastically as he almost jumped up in alarm. What concept was a high-level savage beast? That was already a powerful force that had surpassed the Earth level, and it wasn't something that the over 300 Earth-level strongmen in Luoyu County could resist. If they were to clash head-on with a high-level savage beast in the wilderness, even if there were 500 Earth-level strongmen, they would still be defeated. Even if they fought with all their might, they could only leave the high-level savage beast heavily injured, but not fatal. Therefore, they had to retreat to the county city and rely on the city walls and defensive array formations to resist.

  Yanhuo quickly contacted the Luoxing City Government through a spiritual message.

  "What's wrong, County Magistrate Yanhuo?" a stern voice came over.

  "Fengmie Lord, a high-level barbarian beast has appeared in Luoyu County. I request that someone from above be sent to the county city to help defend it." The County Magistrate of Yanhuo said respectfully, his attitude absolutely without any falsehood.

  "What? You guys have high-level savage beasts too? Looks like these beasts are planned. How many high-level savage beasts appeared on your side?"

  "At least one, I don't know about the others. What does 'Phoenix extermination' mean?" Yan Huo understood that something was off as soon as he heard it.

  "This time the beast's action is very organized, and nearly a hundred counties around Luoxing City have encountered different degrees of beast attacks, all led by intermediate beasts. Nearly half of the counties even had high-level beasts intervening. And now Luoxing City is surrounded by beasts outside, it seems they want to thin out the defensive forces inside the city. Don't worry, I will take care of this matter myself. I will send Leo and Tota over via transmission, and have them deal with that high-level beast. If not, just transmit a message to me at any time, and I will send more experts to rescue." Fengmie finished speaking and ended the communication, softly sighing: "It seems that top-level beasts may be involved this time... these creatures are really naive, thinking they can rival human civilization which has stood for countless years?"

  "Are those children still evacuating?" County Magistrate Yanhuo asked cautiously, after all, the situation was changing again and again, it's better to ask clearly.

  "There's no need to withdraw immediately. Since those beasts don't follow the rules, we don't have to either." Feng Mie said seriously, originally not planning to send Sky-level strongmen down, this was a rule set by the upper echelons of humanity, the upper echelons needed these savage beasts to stimulate the lower martial artists to work hard and awaken.

  Above the Earth level is the Sky level. As the name suggests, those who reach the Sky level have a strong spiritual power in their body that allows them to fly freely in the air, unlike Earth-level strongmen who still need to rely on transportation-type flying devices to fly. Most importantly, the lifespan of Sky-level strongmen can exceed 1,000 years!

  Human cultivation evolution is not just about attaining a superior status and power, but more importantly, it's about longevity! Eternal youth, who doesn't want that?

  After countless years of development, human beings have possessed unparalleled technological prowess and a perfect cultivation system. Awakened individuals who undergo systematic training can enter the realm of eternal youth.
