"Only three thousand men and a little over a hundred guns are far from enough!"

When everyone stood on the city wall and went outside the city, Jiang Yuan still saw the weakness of the human race.

"It's only been fourteen days since the catastrophe, and not many people in the refugee camp have awakened their spirits!" Ning Yanlan sat on the ice wall, looking down at the battlefield. This was the first time that Camp 39 had established a defensive line capable of confronting the beast tide.

But it was still not enough. Camp 39 had only established one line of defense, while the beast tide was relentless.

In other words, once the two thousand strong forces under the city are breached, the Three-Ninth Camp will have to admit defeat.

"They need the baptism of war!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed.

Fourteen days is really short! So short that before anyone could even begin to adapt, they were already at a crossroads of life and death. They needed Tier 1 Holy Spirit Stones to awaken their spirits, but there were very few Tier 1 monsters left, which meant that there was a shortage of spirit awakeners in Camp 39.

They now only have two paths to choose from: either wait for the monsters to breed a second generation of Tier 1 monsters, and then kill them to obtain Tier 1 Holy Spirit Stones. But obviously, half a month is far from enough time for the monsters to breed a second generation. After the cataclysm, the creatures capable of awakening their spirits have all mutated, and their breeding and gestation cycles have been lengthened, making Tier 1 Holy Spirit Stones a highly sought-after commodity.

Another option is to take Qiling Pill.

Furthermore, not everyone has the aptitude for spiritual awakening, so despite the hundreds of thousands of people in the 39th Camp, the number of those who are truly at the third rank or above and possess combat power will not exceed ten thousand.

"I wonder when this will end!" Ning Yanlan stared blankly at the battlefield, where the sounds of fighting were deafening.

"I'll go help, be careful."

Jiang Yuan stood up and leaped off the city wall railing. "Everyone, attack in batches!"

"Those with guns should only shoot monsters below level five, focus on air defense, and absolutely prevent the Holy Spirit Beasts like the Sky-Splitting Leopard from leaping directly onto the city walls!"

"The psychic and soul-based factions will maintain their previous tactics, but we need a team to accompany us out of the city to fight!"

Jiang Yuan pointed at Wei Zhou and Liu Shan and said, "You and Liu Shan, give your guns to the others!"

"What about us?" Wei Zhou asked, puzzled.

"Leave the city!"

"Impossible! I'm just a psionicist. If I leave the city, won't I be torn to pieces by the beast horde?" Wei Zhou shook his head hurriedly, looking extremely afraid of death.

"I'll pay!"

Without hesitation, Liu Shan took the gun and handed it over.

“If everyone below is a strength-based character, they won’t be able to defend against the beast tide. It’s only a matter of time before Camp 39 is breached. So we need to send down both spirit and soul-based characters together!” Jiang Yuan didn’t want to explain, but teamwork was the most important thing right now.

It's impossible for him, a mere Tier 6, to fight against the beast tide, even if he had cheat codes.

“I myself am a fifth-tier strength-type, and I will bring my team down to help!” Liu Shan continued.

"That would be best! Ordinary firearms don't have much killing power against monsters of level five and above. Giving them to lower-level monsters is the best use of them!" Jiang Yuan had a high opinion of Liu Shan. Although he was only level five, he was full of courage and fighting spirit. Only someone like him could stand firm in the beast tide and not be forced to retreat without a fight by the overwhelming force of the beast tide.

Wei Zhou's eyes darted around, but when his gaze fell on the women and children on the city wall, he sighed deeply and said, "I'll hand them over!"

The guns and ammunition were removed.

"Everyone at level three and above, hand over your weapons and leave the city!" Wei Zhou turned to look at his squad. "As for those at level three and below, distribute the weapons properly and try not to waste resources!"

Before Jiang Yuan could give any orders, Wei Zhou led his men down the mountain.

"Leave the city and fight the beast tide to the death!"

The crowd on the city wall shouted excitedly. Their geographical location and resource reserves did not allow them to fight a defensive battle. The 39th Camp did not have enough guns and ammunition, and could not defend the city like the South City.

"Let the slaughter begin!"

Jiang Yuan took out his gun and jumped into the beast tide. If everyone needed a war god to be their spiritual pillar in this battle, then only he could fulfill that role!

His indomitable fighting spirit was consuming his divine energy every moment, but the feedback he received from this consumption was also exceptionally strong. He could feel that his body had completed an unimaginable warm-up under the influence of his indomitable fighting spirit.

Wherever they landed, there were mutated monsters everywhere. As for the Holy Spirit Beasts, not a single one could be seen anymore, because high-level spirit beasts like the Holy Spirit Beasts would not be used as cannon fodder. Only the native mutated creatures of Earth would charge to the front of the beast tide.

"die!"

Each thrust of the God-Slaying Spear takes the life of a monster. At first, Jiang Yuan would pay attention to the core drop rate, but when the battle got crazy, he didn't even bother to pick up the cores anymore. Now, he only wanted to satisfy his killing urge.

He even ignored the Heavenly Eye's hints about the God-Slaying Spear. However, although he ignored the hints, he could clearly feel the changes in the God-Slaying Spear in his hand. The God-Slaying Spear originally required ten thousand strands of earth dragon essence blood to unseal, but now he vaguely sensed that the mutated monsters around him had a large amount of earth dragon essence in their bodies.

However, as long as there is enough earth dragon essence, it is entirely possible to condense earth dragon blood essence.

"Earth Dragon Essence Blood!" Jiang Yuan plunged the God-Slaying Spear into the heart of a giant python, and a thin wisp of earth dragon essence blood flowed into the God-Slaying Spear.

He gradually realized that the essence blood of the earth dragon was closely related to snakes. No other monster, even one much stronger than this giant python, had provided him with so much essence blood, but this giant python had just happened to provide it.

"Earth dragon essence blood, could this be a monster containing dragon blood?" Jiang Yuan had no choice but to make this guess.

The instant he drew his gun, his gaze suddenly fell on the gun.

"dragon!"

The spear moved like a dragon emerging from the sea, attacking a monster. At this moment, Jiang Yuan's attention was completely drawn to the God-Slaying Spear, and he didn't care even though the monster next to him left several deep claw marks on his body.

At this moment, in Jiang Yuan's eyes, the God-Slaying Spear was a dragon, with the spear tip as the dragon's head, the shaft as the dragon's body, and the shaft as the dragon's tail.

The Chinese people's worship of the dragon totem is innate, and Jiang Yuan is no exception.

"No wonder it takes the essence of an earth dragon to unseal a divine weapon!"

Jiang Yuan's eyes held a hint of eagerness. He wanted to see the true face of the God-Slaying Spear, and the monsters in front of him were undoubtedly the ones who could understand his wish. Even if they were not monsters with dragon blood, they would still have the blood essence of earth dragons. As long as he gathered them little by little, he would eventually be able to collect ten thousand strands of earth dragon essence blood.

"Then kill them!"

"Bloodlust level increased!"

If Jiang Yuan had a status bar, he would definitely be the most dazzling player on the field. Unyielding fighting spirit, bloodlust, double shackles, Divine Wood Codex activity, and strong blood—each one of them provides Jiang Yuan with a continuous source of power.
