Chapter 371 - Its Better To Be Alive (1/2)
A few kilometers away, about ten people penetrated like a sharp knife into the beast herd. They were also like a ma.s.sive road roller where ferocious beasts in their paths ended up in a blood bath and vanished.
Elder Universe and two of the Ni family’s great ancestors were the ones who led the way. They held an unbelievably sharp and powerful magic tool each, where there were great blood-sheds whenever they slashed the ferocious beasts in their way regardless of the beasts’ thick skins.
They were unstoppable as they headed for the three Earthly Dragon Beasts. As tall and as st.u.r.dy the city walls were, they would not be able to survive the crashes from these humongous creatures. If the walls crumbled, not only would the Humans’ lives be at risk, but the Supreme Great Ancestors would be doomed too.
Knowing this very well, the great ancestors initiated the attack regardless of the cost. They were determined to slaughter the three creatures even if it was extremely dangerous.
There were innumerable ferocious beasts, and they were fearless. In particular, the beasts in the great ancestors’ ways were not hesitant at all even though they knew they were going to be killed by the weapons. It was as though they lost their survival instincts and were only set on ripping their enemies into pieces. In fact, the beasts were committed to achieving their goal by hook or by crook and were willing to sacrifice.
Elder Universe stabbed with his sword, whose spear tip oddly slit a ferocious beast’s throat, causing a foul smell and dirty blood to fill the air. It had only been a short while, but the elder and the other great ancestors were subconsciously feeling tired.
This was because they had killed over 1,000 ferocious beasts so far and were infinitely approaching a 10,000 kill count! Among the dead beasts, three of them were even great-ancestor-level half-spirit beasts. Their result was so brilliant that anyone would treat them with more respect! Nonetheless, the violent attacks from the beasts had also forced the powerhouses to consume substantial amounts of essential Qi, and several men were even slightly injured. Although they were not severely wounded, having injuries on the battlefield was still quite frightening
Even so, Elder Universe, who was taking the lead, did not intend to stop to help his comrades. The elder’s eyes turned scarlet red, which was out of the ordinary.
The longsword in his hand transformed into a giant mincer as he eliminated the ferocious beasts in his path. He fixed his gaze on the three gigantic Earthly Dragon Beasts.
As if noticing the tiny humans, an Earthly Dragon Beast lifted its enormous foot, which was similar to a sky-propping pillar, to stomp on them.
The Earthly Dragon Beast was nearly 36 meters tall, hence the ground and the mountains shook when it stomped. When Elder Universe and the others looked up, they noticed that they were overcast by a shade. No matter how tough their bodies were or how sharp their magic tools were, they would only be crushed into meat paste. This was the outcome of a size disparity. While both parties were somewhat equal in terms of the biological level, in terms of their sizes alone, the Earthly Dragon Beast could easily squash the great ancestors.
Elder Universe flashed and dodged the huge foot, which hid the sky. A cold light was formed as he swung his longsword, and he streaked the side of the beast’s foot.
Given that the magic tool was formidable, the sword tip pierced the Earthly Dragon Beast’s body.
Nevertheless, Elder Universe’s face changed. The deeper his longsword was in the beast’s foot, the more he could sense the tremendous resistance from the creature’s body.
It was true that a magic tool’s Sharpness attribute was unmatched, but the Earthly Dragon Beast was truly too hefty.
Unquestionably, Elder Universe’s longsword was like a toothpick to the dragon beast. In that case, p.r.i.c.king one’s foot with a toothpick would not pose a fatal effect.
Therefore, a sword-light was seen as Elder Universe slashed the longsword across.
A rich unpleasant smell filled the air, but the Earthly Dragon Beast widened its mouth and devoured a ferocious beast’s carca.s.s as if it did not feel anything. It later turned its head halfway to check its foot as though it was confused about feeling a sting.
The magic longsword, which was capable of stabbing humans or powerful great-ancestor-level half-spirit beasts, had only left a small trace of blood on the Earthly Dragon Beast.
A human could die from the injury, but it was only considered a trace of blood on an Earthly Dragon Beast’s body.
“Oh no! Quickly attack and stop them!” Elder Universe yelled at the top of his lungs. He had a horrific look on his face because he was too anxious.
Behind him, many Supreme Great Ancestors did their best. Given the circ.u.mstances, they were forced to fight without any reservations, thus they gave their all and released their powers to the maximum.
Despite having made an all-out effort, the difference was too big, and it would not change because of their attempts. The powers, which were unbearable for ordinary powerhouses and even Supreme Great Ancestors, were withstood by the three Earthly Dragon Beasts without any effort.
In actuality, apart from the three magic tools’ damages, which slightly caught their attention, the three beasts were simply uninterested in the other attacks. They did not spare a glance at the other powerhouses at all.
Far away, the little red bird in the Eight-armed Giant Beast’s head flapped its wings and looked utterly bored.
“Are these the humans that you—the Beastshave been trying to wipe out? Aren’t they too weak? They’re far from the humans there!”
The Eight-armed Giant Beast blinked its large eyes and forced a terrifying smile. “Sir, the humans here are inadequate, so they naturally can’t be compared with the powerhouses in that realm.”
