Chapter 5: The Tide of Strange Beasts
From late night until dawn, the raging beast tide attacks never stopped.
After the mutated shrimp, crab and sea beast, a group of slender cyan fish jumped up from the sea.
These small cyan fish are only a dozen centimeters long and have a silver stripe on each side of the belly. Even Murong Chaoyang, Di Sheng and others, who are on the beach all year round, have never seen such strange small fish.
The cyan fish jumped from the water to the metal platform as if they were suicidal, and in the blink of an eye, the platform was densely covered with a layer of small fish that were jumping around.
While the people in the city were still wondering how the small fish would attack, a pungent yellow-green smoke began to rise from the entire platform, which was the smell of metal being corroded by acid.
The yellow-green smoke and pungent smell grew stronger, and the entire metal platform under the city walls was covered in thick smoke.
Everyone on the city wall looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with these little fish, and they couldn't shoot them with guns, right?
"Attack with fire! Pour gasoline! ”
With Murong Chaoyang's order, barrels of gasoline were thrown off the city wall, and then raging flames ignited on the entire platform.
Huge sea beasts swelled again at the bottom of the sea, pushing waves of seawater towards the platform, trying to extinguish the flames.
As the city continued to pour gasoline into the flames, a magnificent spectacle of flames burning in the sea was formed under the walls.
The sea receded, the flames were extinguished, and the receding waters took with them the charred corpses on the platform.
The original glittering metal platform has been corroded by potholes, and a layer has almost been removed, and the deepest part of the corrosion has been exposed to the sea beneath the platform.
During the whole process, Chi Hua dragged his chin and was silent.
"Is it just a coincidence that the beast tide attacks are strange, first using the conductivity of metal to launch targeted attacks, and then using fish that can spit out acidic substances to corrode metal platforms? It was still a deliberate attack arranged by the beast king of the beast tide, if the beast king of the mutated beast already had such wisdom, it would be terrifying! Chi Hua didn't dare to continue thinking about it.
But the next beast tide attack has been developing in the direction that Chi Hua was most worried about.
Behind the schools of cyan fish, tens of thousands of mutated lionfish and stonefish poured up to the platform with the upturned water.
The lionfish, also known as the sea scorpion, has a large and flat head, a cylindrical front, a large fan-like pectoral fin and a colorful dorsal fin, and the spines on the dorsal fin are extremely poisonous.
Similar to the lionfish, the stonefish has 12 to 14 needle-sharp back spines on its back. Before the mutation, the toxicity of the stonefish's backspine can make an adult die quickly in severe pain, and the toxicity after the mutation can be imagined.
Tens of thousands of lionfish and stonefish shot their stingers at the head of Dawning City at the same time, and the sky full of stingers covered the entire head of Dawning City.
The warriors of Dawning raised their shields to defend themselves, and the Evolvers also came to the rescue to cast defensive abilities.
Even so, under the stinger in the sky, there were still stingers that slipped through the net and pierced the naked hands or faces of warriors and evolutionaries.
The warrior who was shot by the stinger fell to the ground screaming, convulsed, and lost his life in a matter of seconds. Even a first-order evolutionary with strong vitality could not last even a minute.
The medical evolutionaries of Dawning City rushed back and forth on the city walls to treat the wounded, but only a few were actually saved.
Without the need for Dawn to launch a counterattack, the lionfish and stonefish voluntarily sank to the bottom of the sea after shooting the stingers on their bodies.
There are at least 1,200 species of poisonous fish known in nature, and countless more have appeared in this animal tide. Later, highly poisonous fish such as the Japanese devil scorpion and the Dharma poisonous scorpion appeared one after another, and these mutated fish either shot stingers or spewed venom at the castle.
Even with full preparations, the Dawning City warriors continued to attrition in waves of attacks. These sea beasts seem to be deliberately killing and injuring the living force of humans.
Under the huge battle damage, seeing that these poisonous fish could not reach the city for the time being, Murong Chaoyang had to order ordinary warriors other than the evolutionary to temporarily retreat from the city.
Chi Hua's face was already full of shock at this time.
Chi Hua has also experienced several beast tides, all of which are fierce beasts rushing up. But I had never seen such a clear wave of beast tide attacks, and each wave of attacks was almost launched by sea beasts with the same or similar abilities. These sea beasts seem to have been artificially divided into different classes according to their abilities, if the previous crustacean shrimp and crab were hoplites, the current stinger and venom attacks are long-range archers.
The sky was already bright, and the dawn rising from the sea pierced through the clouds, shone on the surface of the sea, and shone on the head of the city of Dawn.
The sea was gilded with a layer of gold, and the silver of the Dawning City was even more dazzling, but no one had the heart to enjoy the beauty of the sunrise over the sea.
The silver walls were strewn with blood, the corpses of countless sea beasts floated on the sea, and the evolutionaries and warriors of Dawn stayed awake all night, and the battle continued.
The waves were tumbling, the sea crashing against the city walls, and after the stinger and venom attacked, the sea water had been replaced by a huge sea beast as the water surged onto the metal platform.
Truck-sized terrifying sea crocodiles, giant octopuses seven or eight meters tall, green ringed sea snakes more than ten meters long, horseshoe crabs with long sword tails, manatees larger than elephants, and nearly a thousand huge sea beasts almost crowded the platform.
Sea crocodiles and manatees slammed into the city wall with their huge bodies, blue-ringed sea snakes and horseshoe crabs climbed up the smooth city walls, and the giant octopus's sticky tentacles climbed up the city walls with a flick.
Huge manta rays, vicious wolf fish with sharp teeth exposed, and five or six meters long swordfish jumped directly from the bottom of the sea, gliding in the air for nearly 100 meters and pounced on the city.
If you talk about gliding, it is naturally indispensable to have a flying fish with a winged fish body and a white mouth and a red head. These small pike-sized fish can stay in the air for more than 40 seconds and fly a distance of more than 400 meters, and they leap out of the ocean in groups and shoot themselves like arrows at the evolutionaries at the head of Dawning City.
What was once a magnificent spectacle of 10,000 fish flying over the sea has now become a terrifying killing machine.
These first-order sea beasts are the main force of the beast tide, and it is difficult for guns to cause damage to these sea beasts.
The first-order evolutionaries of Dawning City and Phoenix City all stood at the head of the city, frantically outputting ability attacks towards the city and in the air.
Hundreds of fireballs fired in unison, blowing away the manatees and sea crocodiles that hit the city wall. Ice guns and ice arrows shot at the sea snakes and octopuses that had just climbed up from the city. A series of wind blades shot out and wisps of lightning slashed, knocking down the swordfish and wolffish in the air.
The transformational evolutionary directly pounced on the sea beast that climbed up to the top of the city, and fought with the sea beast.
The entire city wall was a battlefield of fighting, and the corpses of huge sea beasts were constantly falling from the city, and occasionally the corpses of one or two human evolutionaries were falling.
The second-order powerhouses of Dawning City and Phoenix City were evenly scattered across the entire section of the city wall, and there was a second-order powerhouse every few tens of meters. In addition to Chi Hua and Murong Chaoyang, second-order powerhouses have begun to make frequent moves.
Although the tide of beasts is turbulent and the fighting is fierce, because of the strong attack power of the second-order powerhouses of the human race, the human race firmly occupies the advantage, and constantly slaughters the sea beasts at the head of the city.
Every time a sea beast is killed, another one will pop out of the sea, and there is still no end in sight to the raging beast tide.
The battle lasted from early morning until noon, and the human evolutionaries continued to fall. The corpses of huge sea beasts were piled up all over the city, and the blood of humans and sea beasts flowed down the walls, dyeing the silver walls completely red.
The non-stop fighting, the sharp consumption of abilities and physical strength, even the second-order powerhouses felt struggling, and the frequency of shots was gradually decreasing.
At that moment, a chaotic sound of birdsong was heard in the air.
Murong Chaoyang's face changed, how could there be no seabirds in the tide of sea beasts?
Tens of thousands of seabirds are overwhelmingly swooping towards the Dawning City, known as the warship bird known as the overlord of the sea, the big black-backed gulls that hunt in flocks of sea robbers, the tiger-headed sea eagle the size of a house, and the black-tailed petrel that is as fast as lightning.
The tiger-headed sea eagle pounced down on several evolutionaries at the same time, and the long hook-like beak of the warship bird pierced the evolutionary's body with a single blow, and the big black-backed gull and the black fork-tailed petrel were not large, but they were extremely fast, and their fangs and claws left wounds on the evolutionary's body.
Human evolutionaries have to face flanking attacks from the air and the sea at the same time, and even if there are second-order powerhouses in charge, the pressure suddenly increases dramatically, and the number of evolutionaries killed in battle increases dramatically.
At this time, none of the second-order fierce beasts in the beast tide had yet to show their heads.
The strange thing is that these sea beasts are not in a hurry to rush into the city during the fight, and the beast tide seems to be deliberately using sea beasts to consume the abilities of human second-order powerhouses.
Even if they guessed the possible intentions of the beast tide, Murong Chaoyang and Chi Hua had no choice but to make a move.
Murong Chaoyang threw eight metal balls into the sky above his head at the same time.
The sight of the metal balls exploding in the air at the same time was as spectacular as a nuclear explosion, and white mushroom clouds spread through the air.
Nearly 1,000 square meters above Murong Chaoyang's head were empty, and the carcasses of seabirds in the air fell one after another like rain, and most of the corpses were in tatters.
After the blow, Murong Chaoyang's face turned white, and the ability consumed by this blow must be not small.
Chi Hua kept shaking his head on the side, "Brother Murong, you shot too hard, these materials have made you ruined, but there is still half of my Phoenix City in it?" ”
Chi Hua laughed at Murong Chaoyang, but he didn't delay his own move, Chi Hua waved his hand, and a silver dragon composed of liquid metal began to revolve around his body. Metal Mastery is increased to Tier 3, and the ability is instantly shaped.
"Go!" Chi Hua shouted, and the silver dragon pounced towards the flock of birds in the air with its teeth and claws.
The silver dragon exploded in the flock of birds, turning into a metal weapon in the sky. Mutant seabirds rained down, and most of the carcasses were very intact.
"Go!"
"Go again!"
Three liquid metal silver dragons exploded in the air one after another, and most of the overwhelming flock of mutant birds was empty. Three ability ultimates hit in a row, but Chi Hua's face still didn't change and his heart didn't beat.
Murong Chaoyang looked at Chi Hua like a monster, how many abilities does a third-order powerhouse have in his body?
Chi Hua still didn't stop, and one after another the silver dragons blasted towards the city wall.
The huge sea beast could not stop the dense metal hidden weapon fire, and every time the silver dragon exploded, dozens of sea beasts around it fell to the ground.
Eight silver dragons shot in succession, and the sea beasts on the metal platform were much more sparse.
Suddenly, a strange horn sounded in the sea, and the waves began to churn violently, and the waves rose higher and higher.
The continuous upwelling of the sea has submerged the metal platform, and the rising sea has reached the height of half of the city wall.
One behemoth after another poked their heads out from the bottom of the sea, and the biggest threat in the beast tide, the second-order sea beast, finally appeared!
