Light Fortress Chapter 2017 - 60: Gu Castle Battlefield_3
Previously on Light Fortress...
At this pace, the seventh team can complete the cleanup of this area in at most two hours...
"Captain—"
A sharp shout sounded!
The Spiritual Link of the Source Eyes suddenly trembled, and a cry for help came from beside Li Chen.
His pupils contracted.
The next moment, the fog shrouded in haze was suddenly pierced by a sharp iron spike, and the body of the Investigator Corps member who just spoke abruptly split open, the sharp iron spike slicing him in half like a longsword... This was the tail of the Traveler Tribe’s high-order extraordinary life "Mist-devourer". After years of warfare at Gu Castle, the North Continent soldiers have come to understand the Traveler Tribe’s rank distribution.
The body of the Mist-devourer is like steel, ordinary red-silver bullets and purple-silver bullets cannot cause harm!
Its position within the Traveler Tribe is equivalent to the "Fourth-order Transcendent" among human civilization, only those who possess their own domain as a Transcendent can effectively damage the Mist-devourer in single combat!
The "Traveler Tribe" is a place with an extremely strict hierarchical system.
The appearance of the Mist-devourer often means that the upcoming attacks will not only include "Sacrificial" beings but may also accompany assaults by higher-order extraordinary life forms.
Among the "combat-type extraordinary life forms" of the Traveler Tribe, beings ranked higher than the Mist-devourer are known as "Gray Dragons".
In the battle when Gu Castle was torn apart years ago.
Gu Shen operated the Red Shadow and killed a Gray Dragon; the combat power of the Gray Dragon is equivalent to a human tribe’s Titled being...
"Retreat! Withdraw!"
Li Chen realized something was wrong, but it was too late: "Team seven, everyone retreat!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"
Iron spikes swept through the mist, bringing out a shower of blood, as team members in Zone A of the Northwest battlefield retreated while quickly emptying their magazines, but to little effect. Most bullets missed, vaguely visible was an extremely agile figure traversing amidst crackling noises, this Mist-devourer’s rank is exceptionally high, seemingly an absolute powerhouse even within the "Fourth-order"!
It rampaged on the battlefield, but Li Chen did not intervene to stop it.
Because Li Chen manipulated the Source Eyes to look deeper, and he saw the shadow of the Mist-devourer, which was roughly like a small mountain nearly three meters high.
But that’s not all, for behind that small mountain, there stood a towering "big mountain" ten meters high.
Behind the Mist-devourer, there was also a Gray Dragon.
"Pffft!"
A slight explosion suddenly sounded near Li Chen’s ear.
The Mist-devourer, which continuously traversed through the snowy mist at lightning speed, seemingly in a domain without opposition, suddenly exploded without warning!
Scalding blood splattered across Li Chen’s face.
As a fourth-tier Spiritual Extraordinary, Li Chen was utterly stunned.
The Mist-devourer... just died like that?
He dumbfoundedly turned his head and saw a fist wearing Finger Tiger Gloves.
Everything happened too quickly, he hadn’t seen the trajectory of that punch at all, he didn’t even recognize it was a fist that was thrown!
Even more unbelievable to him was... the owner of the fist turned out to be a young girl.
She seemed thin and small, only sixteen or seventeen years old.
The young girl slowly retracted her fist, standing beside Li Chen, without the Spiritual Radiance like the Source Eyes’ shroud, nor any special Extraordinary Aura, just simply standing there.
The black cloak howled in the strong wind.
"Have your people withdraw first."
The young girl slightly tilted her head, rubbing her wrist, her whole body emitting crisp sounds like frying beans.
She stepped forward, standing in front of Li Chen, her gaze falling into the depths of the snowy mist.
"I’ll handle that big guy."
