1280 Ridiculous Operation that Came Out of Nowhere (1/2)
The attack and defense battle above the city wall went into climax less than three seconds since it began.
The Bug Tribe armies were in a frenzy to pass through the city wall, but they were disrupted by the formations and barriers that the humans had set up beforehand.
As they picked up their pace and attempted to break their defense by force, they were ambushed by the human elite squads.
The over 100 squads were made of high-level Virtual Gods. Each squad was made of 10 to 15 people, they formed mini battle formations. Clearly, they had rehearsed this for a long time. Each battle formation's power was on par with a Virtual God rank-9 expert. Some were even more powerful than that.
Although there were many Bug Tribe fighters, most of them were beginner-stage and intermediate-stage Virtual Gods. There were less than 1/5 high-level Virtual Gods among them.
Under the ambush, the human squads were like a sharp knife dipping into oil, messing up the charging Bug Tribe armies.
The throngs of Bug Tribe fighters were no match for the ambush squad's attacks at all. Before any of their Virtual God rank-9 and true god-level powerhouses made it here, the human battle formations clearly would not stop killing their kinds.
Although they had a great upper hand in their quantity, the Bug Tribe did not get any advantages out of the two consecutive battles.
As the battle was getting intense in the air, the Bug Tribe armies on land had finally arrived beneath the city wall.
At the moment, countless sparks lit up above the city wall all of a sudden. Fireballs fell onto the ground one after another like a meteor shower.
Just when the fireballs exploded as they touched the ground, the ground beneath the city wall lit up all of a sudden. Within a few breaths of time, hundreds of meters around the outer ring of the city wall turned into a sea of fire.
Faint Divine Power and Cursed Power were spreading in the fiery flames. The sea of Bug Tribe fighters was ignited instantly, the flame could not be extinguished.
The bug beasts released devastation shrieks in the flame. As they rolled around in pain, they were then turned into carcasses with no flesh.
”Vampire Fire…”
Even Lin Huang did not expect humans to do that.
The Vampire Fire was a cursed divine skill. The casting of such inhibition skill required Divine Fire from a True God's body and 99 Virtual God's flesh.
Although Lin Huang had no idea of the casting conditions, he knew very well that it was maleficium.
The humans must have sealed the maleficium in the secret skill crystals and buried them underground. They then used a stealth barrier to shield the trap, so that the enemies could not find out about it with Divine Telekinesis.
As soon as the Bug Tribe fell into the trap, they would use fire skill to detonate them.
However, judging by the fire coverage beneath the city wall, the humans buried at least ten secret skill crystals that were sealed with Vampire Fire underground.
Lin Huang almost fell into the trap as it came out of nowhere. Fortunately, his Divine Telekinesis had always been active. He covered his body with Mirror as soon as he sensed the threatening fiery flame on the ground.
Meanwhile, the Giant Beetle that he was hiding under was not as fortunate. Just like the other Bug Tribe fighters around, it was lit instantly and turned into a carcass during the struggle.
In less than 20 breaths of time the Vampire Fire was lit, almost all Bug Tribes that stepped into the fire coverage turned into carcasses.
Fortunately, the Giant Beetle was huge even when it turned into a carcass. It did not expose Lin Huang who was hiding under it.
To avoid any attention, Lin Huang adjusted his aura with Thousand Face to nothingness as he continued to play dead under the Giant Beetle's tummy.
Under the Mirror's shield, the Vampire Fire merely took away a little bit of his Divine Power.
One must say that playing dead gave Lin Huang a better opportunity to observe the entire battleground.
On the ground, the bug beasts that were moving forward stopped due to the Vampire Fire's obstacle. Most of them chose to stand where they were to wait for the flame to extinguish. Meanwhile, a minority of them flew directly to join the battle above the city wall.
Meanwhile, the battle above the city wall was getting more intense.
Although the attacks on the ground were disrupted, the Bug Tribe had finally gotten back to their pace in the battle of the sky.
Many Virtual God rank-9 powerhouses rushed to the areas where the human squads were and stopped the killing coming from the human battle formations. Even some beginner-stage True Gods joined the battle and attacked the human squads.
As soon as Bug Tribe sent their True Gods, the humans too sent theirs to the battlefield to fight the Bug Tribe's True Gods.
Within three minutes the war began, True Gods were sent in. The battle situation on both sides elevated once again!
Lin Huang had been following the battle situation, as well as waiting for the opportunity to come in contact with humans.
As the Vampire Fire had no support of Divine Power, after the first round of impact since they broke out, they extinguished completely in two minutes.
Although the humans wanted the fire to go on a little longer, they were helpless since they could not provide for this divine skill from a distance away.
