I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early-Chapter 325 - 248: This Battle is in the Bag!

The horrific war erupted at this moment!

Artillery fire from more than ten cannons poured down from five thousand meters above, forming a shower of meteoric flames.

Many monsters were shedding their skins, rising into the air like bats, lunging towards Sky City.

The scene was terrifying; the enemy’s numbers might have been several times that of our own. Tens of thousands of human skins fluttered towards us, exuding a ferocious killing intent under the moonlight and above the flames.

Lu Yuan’s heart raced as he bellowed, "Quick, unleash all the artillery shells, blow up as many as you can! They’re going to fly up here!!"

The soldiers knew the situation was desperate, and they started hurling fuel bombs, mines, and hand grenades from on high in a frenzy.

The earth became a sea of fire!

Most soldiers could no longer think; their heads buzzed as if concussed, their thoughts short-circuited, mechanically repeating their tasks without keeping count of the dead.

This was Lu Yuan’s first experience with such a battle, the earpiece in his ears hissing incessantly.

Those bat-like monsters flew at speeds comparable to birds; a distance of 5000 meters could be crossed in roughly 3 minutes.

"Captain Lu, monsters have landed on Sky City from the west! They’re trying to attack the Tree of Life!" a voice from a "Thousand-mile Eye" ability user exclaimed in the earpiece.

"Take cover in the sewers immediately, do not let them confuse you."

"Absorber, spray the fuel! Burn them!"

At that command, what must have been tens of thousands of tons of fuel were viciously ejected through the mouthpiece of the "Absorber."

Several tons of fuel sprayed into the air, instantly creating a rain of fire, killing an untold number.

"Are there any bombs left?"

"We’ve nearly used them all up."

"Captain Lu, they’re coming from all sides!"

In the light of the fire against the darkness, bat-like shadows with open jaws and claws approached, resembling demons.

It was obvious that humans couldn’t match the strength of the monsters in open combat.

Lu Yuan roared, "All soldiers, retreat to the underground tunnels! Activate the Resin smoke bombs and enter close-quarter battle mode!"

"Forget the Tree of Life for now, make sure to protect the core shelter at all costs."

"Understood!"

He switched to another channel, "Conch, you control the descent of Sky City, start bringing it down."

The monsters would undoubtedly attack the Tree of Life, so it was essential to descend early to prevent the city from free-falling – a drop that would kill everyone. Experience more on novelbuddy

"Mhm, the city has started to descend... be careful..." The signal from Conch’s side was intermittent and weak.

The main force retreated into the underground sewers.

Sensing the constantly developing Insect Soldiers in the warehouse, Lu Yuan sighed softly and drew the Tree of Life back into his mind.

Suddenly, a small green leaf grew from his forehead.

With this leaf, he could use the "Explorer’s Eye" ability.

He then put on his Donkey Head Mask, its eye sockets emitting a violent red glow.

"These monsters must have come out in full force... don’t think for a second that we’ll go down without a fight."

As the dark figures swooped in, Lu Yuan too dived into the underground sewer.

In the tight space, a few Worm Kings acted as the main combat force, each occupying several large ventilation outlets.

And behind them, human warriors armed with various weapons fought—if they were stronger, they engaged in close combat; if weaker, they used firearms to shoot.

"Squeak!" A manhole cover was lifted, and several bat-like human skins crawled in.

The moment it entered, it unleashed its spiritual power: "Aargh!!"

That scream, like a young girl’s, was tinged with delight and mixed with strong malice, as if it sought to kill everything.

Lu Yuan stood on a recessed ledge in the sewer, breaking out in goosebumps at the sound; he bit his tongue hard to regain his senses.

He shouted in the earpiece, "Don’t be afraid!"

"Throw the Resin smoke bombs!"

The smoke bombs, made from Sealing Resin, were still incredibly effective.

This time, the smoke wasn’t thrown at the enemy but around themselves.

The thick white smoke somewhat obscured their vision.

The spiritual attack couldn’t penetrate the dense fog anymore.

The next second, Lu Yuan leaped out from the recess.

His Black Iron Greatsword, two meters long and weighing over thirty kilograms, created a gust with its swing, even producing a dark red light.

The monster, taken aback by the ineffective spiritual assault, seemed to hesitate for a moment.

"Whack!"

In an instant, the greatsword split the intruding monster in half, its blood splattering on the sewer walls.

But there was no time for triumph; it was just one monster, and thousands, perhaps tens of thousands more, were pouring into the sewers!

Moreover, after the descent of Sky City, even more monsters were lurking by the lake.

"Kill!"

"Chop them down!!"

"Tat-tat-tat!"

Three Worm Kings, along with more than two thousand close-combat soldiers, battled the skin monsters in the tunnels and fog.

The bizarre spiritual power was indeed formidable.

But now, in the fog, with spiritual abilities sealed, each side was brought back to a level playing field, relying on hand-to-hand combat.

Humans had a fighting chance.

Sha Kan’er and other human soldiers used hammers, maces, and other blunt weapons.

The monsters’ hides were extremely tough, the weapons not sharp enough to cut through.
