My Apocalypse Territory-Chapter 99: The Battle Continues

Beside him, Lu Xiaopeng and the rest of the Patrol Team members watched Vice Captain Xie, their eyes shining with admiration.

"Now that's a real man," they thought. "To say he would kill a powerful Demonized Beast and then do it just like that."

No wonder Vice Captain Xie always said, "Cannon fire is the romance of a man."

In those few seconds, the firepower unleashed by Vice Captain Xie was simply stronger than their entire Patrol Team combined.

For a moment, they all felt a bit ashamed.

Especially the veteran members of the Patrol Team who had been hunting Demonized Beasts for some time. They had realized their strength had increased considerably, and although they still weren't at the level of experts like Captain Luo, they were still decent compared to other small Sanctuaries.

They got a bit complacent.

But now, they understood they were indeed no match for top-tier experts like Captain Luo and Vice Captain Xie. And it wasn't just a slight difference—it was a vast chasm!

If they didn't put more effort into their training, they wouldn't even see these experts' backs in the near future.

Some had already decided that tonight they would undergo hellish training at the camp.

The worm-like Monster was just the beginning; more and more Demonized Beasts charged out from beneath the giant tree.

Braving the hail of cannon fire, the horde of Demonized Beasts gradually headed towards the edge of the pit, their numbers dwindling as they fell.

Suddenly, amongst them, a high-level Demonized Beast, like a streak of light, broke away from the group and charged towards Tang Yu and the others above.

This was a beast that had been hidden among the ordinary Demonized Beasts, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack. If the horde hadn't been heavily damaged by the cannon fire, this high-level Demonized Beast would have likely continued to stay hidden.

Since when did the Demonized Beasts possess such high intelligence?

Tang Yu was puzzled. Just as the worm-like monster had done before—dodging cannon fire with agility and using its advantages—it never approached too close. And now, this Demonized Beast was even smarter, understanding how to use its comrades as cover.

Generally, Demonized Beasts lacked intelligence, or rather, their intelligence was extremely low, driven only by their instinct to fight.

In the past, Tang Yu had encountered some powerful Demonized Beasts, which, as they grew stronger, seemed to exhibit increased intelligence as well. But it had never been so glaringly obvious. In Tang Yu's eyes, this Demonized Beast that knew to use comrades as cover was not inferior in intelligence to the super-large Demonized Beasts, aside from its inability to control lower level ones.

In terms of evolutionary level, though, it was clearly far behind.

"What is the reason for the increasing intelligence of the Demonized Beasts? Is it a common phenomenon, or is it because of… some accident?"

Tang Yu looked up, his gaze falling on the faraway giant tree and its branches, which bore leaves like white crystals.

Could it be that this was the reason for the elevated intelligence of the Demonized Beasts in this area?

In the midst of these rapid thoughts, the high-level Demonized Beast narrowly dodged two arrows and, stepping on the slope, hastened towards them.

This edge area was littered with many landmines which proved useless; the Demonized Beast was too fast. Even if it stepped on the mines, by the time they exploded, it had already traversed a good distance.

With one last push off the ground, it leapt over the pit.

Its speed was so fast that even Tang Yu could not see it clearly; he could only make out a blue blur charging toward them.

The murderous intent was chilling.

Like a bone-piercing cold wind!

A figure went to meet it.

Two figures interweaved in midair, clashing with a sound like the ringing of metal on metal.

This time, Tang Yu saw it clearly: the blue figure was a humanoid Demonized Beast, its entire body as if made of blue Ice Crystal Armor, elongated head topped with spikes, and instead of fingers, its hands were blade-like.

The other figure that landed was Kong, with one sword already drawn.

The aura of the man and the Demonized Beast spread out, colliding with each other.

Members of the Patrol Team who were close by found it difficult to breathe.

This was an even more powerful Demonized Beast, and within just a day, their horizons were elevated again and again. They could only sense the extraordinary strength of the aura but couldn't use it to judge the level of the Demonized Beast.

It was truly beyond any point of reference!

The Ice Crystal Beast, eyeing Kong for a moment, suddenly dashed aside, targeting the Arrow Towers and Cannons.

Tang Yu felt a chill in his heart.

This time, it was certain that the Ice Man Demonized Beast possessed a high level of intelligence, not just battle instinct.

The blue figure swept across the ground, freezing all vegetation in its path into ice crystals. It was about to use its blade to destroy a Cannon.

At that moment, Kong confronted it once more.

Kong's expression turned serious and focused, another Longsword unsheathed, dual-wielding as his whole being transformed into a blur.

Not only was Tang Yu unable to see clearly, but even in the eyes of Luo Zhe and Vice Captain Xie, Kong's speed was incredibly fast.

The Ice Crystal humanoid Demonized Beast also couldn't react in time. In the blink of an eye, its Ice Crystal Armor was slashed with several cracks.

Ice Man's eyes revealed fear as he turned to flee, attempting to jump into the horde of demonized beasts, using other demonized beasts as cover to escape for his life.

He leapt into mid-air.

Behind him, a flash of sword light.

Sword Qi split the air, and visibly, a white streak shot through the middle of the ice crystal demonized beast.

A spiderweb of cracks spread out.

The next moment, with a bang, the entire ice crystal armor shattered, and the Ice Man demonized beast died with it.

Kong let out a sigh of relief, but suddenly saw,

within the horde of demonized beasts, there were a few with mouths almost taking up half of their bodies, opening wide, heads thrown back, spewing a stream of dark green venom high into the air, about to rain down on everyone's heads like droplets.

Kong's face also changed; while he could disregard such an attack, other members of the Patrol Team could not, yet, he also lacked the ability to intercept such dense venom.

Neither could Luo Zhe nor Shay.

They could destroy, being at a professional level, but when it came to protecting others, they were not quite capable.

Members of the Patrol Team, watching the dense rain of venom, were terrified.

How to block it? With what could they block it?

Run, but they couldn't escape such a wide range!

Venom like arrows, shooting towards them.

Suddenly, a faint golden Light Shield rose up in front of the group.

The Light Shield was wide enough to protect a few dozen people inside. The next moment, the venom that fell on the Light Shield was instantly dissolved.

It wasn't the venom dissolving the Light Shield, but the intense light, which dissolved the venom.

"Look over there."

A member of the Patrol Team pointed not far away, where the area was not covered by the Light Shield.

When the venom fell on the ground, it hissed with white smoke and visibly corroded and sunk in, eaten away by the venom.

Many people gasped in shock, fully able to imagine the consequences of being tainted with this venom.

Even in death, it would be accompanied by tremendous pain.

Especially for the few female Awakeners in the team, who felt even more terrified.

Yet such terrifying venom was blocked by the seemingly thin Light Shield, and even dissolved.

They looked towards Winnie, who normally had a gentle big sister image, but only when truly demonstrating her strength did she appear incomparably holy.

Their eyes were full of envy and admiration.

Such an expert was their role model as female Awakeners.

The battle continued, with followers each displaying their prowess, revealing their tremendous strength.

Letting the members of the Patrol Team know just how strong a real master could be.

Shay was a walking artillery.

Kong was the ultimate Swordsman.

Winnie was not just adept at protection, her offensive capabilities were also formidable.

And then there was Captain Luo, a strong veteran they had long known.

Each one of these was a super expert.

Such characters, even if they went to the Lindong Sanctuary, would make a big splash, yet these people, each and every one, were gathered around Director Tang, and moreover, were respectful.

They say that experts are often unruly.

Like the Iron Hammer Brothers, upon self-reflection, although not arrogant, had some pride in their hearts before joining the Patrol Team and witnessing so many experts.

However, these experts, whose strength was countless times greater than their own, showed no arrogance in front of Director Tang.

Especially the old members of the Patrol Team, they knew that at the beginning, they hadn't seen Shay, Kong, Winnie and other experts around Director Tang, but they suddenly appeared in the following days.

Whenever they felt they were gradually getting to know Director Tang, they would be shocked once again by the strength he displayed.

The strength of Director Tang himself, as well as the experts gathered around him.

Like covered with a thick veil.

Utterly mysterious.
