Chapter 27 Demon Blood All Over the Mountain
"There are three Disaster Emperors, eleven Level Nine Possessed Moon Envoys, and twenty-five Level Eight Possessed Moon Envoys. Those below that are not counted. The location of the humanoid Possessed Moon Envoys has been determined. They are located on the high platform of the Star Spirit Mine Barrier, about a hundred meters above the Disaster Emperor. Their excitement level is low, and they appear to be resting."
Xifeng stared at the photon sight (?) that appeared in the air without blinking, using a huge curved transparent tree trunk made of Protoss ore as a cover. Holding a sniper rifle with an extremely beautiful metallic texture and floating particle light bands on it, he spoke softly into something that looked like a microphone at his mouth.
The sound was clearly transmitted to the small earphones in the ears of Beichen and several leading Lingwu Si. This was given to them by Xifeng for communication before he set out for the ambush point. It seemed to be an accessory to Xifeng's weapon.
To be honest, Beichen was surprised by the shape of Xifeng's weapon: after all, all other weapons Beichen had seen were medieval-style cold weapons. Even the crossbow Naraka had a strange alien flavor in its shape, more like a magical weapon than the traditional hot weapons of Beichen's world. The appearance of a sniper rifle with a sci-fi particle light band in front of him was really a bit abrupt. This feeling was exactly the same as when Zhao Zilong was killing the enemy at Changbanpo, and suddenly took out an M16 from the back and fired at the enemy... !
Of course, to people in this world who have never seen a sniper rifle, Xifeng's appearance is as mysterious and desirable as a divine weapon. When the other Lingwu Division saw Xifeng show off his weapon, they all showed him a fanatical and excited look - although in fact they didn't know how to use a sniper rifle.
At this time, Xifeng was 1,500 meters away from the center of the Star Spirit Mine, and Naraka was at three o'clock, 500 meters away from the center. Next to the photon sight, there was a D topographic map also made up of photons, with clear blue dots marking the positions of their own personnel, and red dots indicating the possessed Moon Messenger.
The red dots densely occupied the entire Protoss mining area, while the blue dots were sparsely divided into several groups, slowly creeping forward.
The Star Spirit Mine was very angry. The huge tree trunk extended from the center area with its roots and even reached the area under Xifeng's feet. Xifeng relied on a section of the tree trunk as a cover, and from the golden pulse-like light in the translucent tree trunk, Xifeng felt it.
Furious, irritable, anxious, but also powerless and panicked.
Inability to defeat the enemies entrenched nearby.
Panic - Panic that a newborn baby will die.
The Star Spirit Mine's emotions were transmitted through the tree trunk to its fellow (?) Zephyr.
But he seemed unmoved by these emotions, still holding the gun motionlessly, just adjusting the focus of the scope to observe the situation on the battlefield.
Two teams of Lingwusi that were close to each other collided with the two Disaster Kings one after another within a minute. The nearby possessed Moon Envoys immediately surrounded them. The Lingwusi also calmly organized their formation and launched a counterattack. The flashes of swords and shadows, accompanied by the supporting bombardment of the Naraka crossbow, suddenly made the battlefield come alive.
The human-shaped possessed Moon Envoy woke up, but he just stood there, watching the boiling battlefield below him, without taking any action.
One of the Disaster Kings quickly fell under the siege of two Phantom Spirit Warriors, while the remaining Holy Spirit Warriors systematically weakened the surrounding enemies and pinned down the other Disaster King.
Should we say that he is worthy of being the elite of the Third Prince's direct troops──Xifeng curled the corners of his mouth expressionlessly, but it was not a smile at all.
After slightly moving his vision, Xifeng looked in the directions indicated by several other blue dots on the map.
It was Xiang Beichen, a Level 5 Holy Spirit Warrior. Xifeng had no hope for her offensive output, so when assigning strategic tasks, he had his primary combat force engage the main force of the possessed Moon Envoy. Under Naraka's long-range command and guidance, she and her own weapons circled to the rear, seeking a way to rescue Gu Yinyue.
In response to this, the twin claws beside her seemed very dissatisfied that their master was looked down upon, but she agreed without saying a word.
At this time, there was a Disaster King and four ninth-level possessed Moon Messengers blocking her way. If she wanted to move forward, she had to either go around them with extreme caution or kill them directly.
As the battle had already begun on the main battlefield not far away, the Disaster King was already excited and it was unlikely that he would go around.
A fifth-level Holy Spirit Warrior against five top-level possessed Moon Messengers?
Xifeng made a rough estimate in his mind and thought that the chance of winning was only about 3%.
But even so, he didn't pull the trigger to clear the way for Beichen, even though it might only take less than ten seconds for him.
To put it bluntly, he was here to protect her from death, not to be her babysitter.
Wait until her life is in danger before taking action - Xifeng does not want to reveal his existence and approximate location too early, otherwise he will lose the favorable opportunity to deal with the human-shaped Moon Envoy.
With this in mind, even if someone is facing extremely serious danger, he still remains calm and waits for the best time to ambush.
——The character of a weapon is somewhat related to its form.
Xiangying of the longsword type is as loyal as a knight, while Sujie of the hooked claw type is as wild and aggressive as an executioner. Although the relationship between personality and species is not absolute, Xifeng's character happens to be suitable for this point.
A natural born sniper.
Rock-solid ability to withstand pressure, a calm mind, and a machine-like realistic way of thinking.
There is almost no so-called emotional cognition, and it is not influenced by any subjective emotions.
'Yes.'
Therefore, when seeing Beichen and his party coming into direct contact with the almost invincible enemy, the sniper with a heart as cold as iron simply confirmed this fact in his mind.
Then──
“…”
Xifeng's golden pupils once again constricted in surprise at Xiang Beichen.
It was a lion-shaped Disaster King. Its characteristics were that its Star Spirit Cannon fired quickly, its claws were extremely powerful, and its roar would cause physical discomfort. Its weaknesses were that its movements were slow and its temper was short. Once it was angered, its attacks were disorganized and ineffective.
Beichen moved the long sword in his hand, and at the same time, the twin claws quickly flashed to both sides.
The Disaster King roared and pounced towards the girl fiercely, but the latter dodged with a light jump back, and the next second she stepped forward with her heel and arch of her foot, and the sword in her hand flashed, and the Disaster King's right claw immediately burst out a long streak of blood. After the attack was successful, she jumped to the right triangle of the Disaster King, avoiding the fierce bite of the huge head, and then staggered the opponent's attack rhythm, and once again cut a huge gash on the right foot at a tricky angle!
If the sword had been hit a little less, it would have missed; if it had been hit a little more, it would have hit bones and it would have been impossible to retract the sword in time. I didn't expect that this woman could control the attack distance of the sword in her hand so accurately!
At this moment, four nearby ninth-level possessed moon messengers—huge tigers—also rushed over. Two of them were restrained by the twin claws, while the remaining two pounced towards Beichen's back like blue-purple lightning!
In front of him is the Disaster Emperor, and behind him are two high-level possessed Moon Messengers. It seems that there is nowhere to hide.
Xifeng, who had expressed surprise and approval of her long sword skills a second ago, now regained his consciousness: this woman is nothing special.
Thinking of this, he moved the barrel of the gun, aimed at the Disaster King, and prepared to pull the trigger.
Almost at the same time, Beichen took action again.
Her next action made Xifeng stop what he was doing.
She rolled sideways and stood up and trotted a few steps, dodging the side of the Disaster King. Then she jumped up and grabbed the hair on the Disaster King's abdomen, climbed hard, and climbed onto the Disaster King's back!
Then, she shouted something, held the sword upside down, and thrust the entire blade into the back of the Disaster Emperor!
The Disaster Emperor roared in pain. Only the hilt of the longsword on her back was exposed. She gripped the hilt like a bullfighter, trying to maintain her balance to avoid falling. Two seconds later, two rays of light, one black and one white, transformed into claws and appeared in her hands. She raised the claws and stabbed them into the Disaster Emperor's neck with force, one on the left and one on the right. Using the claws as handrails, she lay steadily on the Disaster Emperor's back, almost using it as a temporary mount.
Roar──
Because of the severe pain, the Disaster King became angry and fired the Star Spirit Cannons in his mouth one after another aimlessly. However, because Beichen was on his back, the Star Spirit Cannons could not hurt her at all. Instead, they blasted the four ninth-level possessed Moon Messengers around him and made them covered with wounds!
A good tactic. Rather than just fighting head-on, correctly estimating one's own strength and outsmarting the enemy would also make one an excellent fighter.
Xifeng finally admitted his changed opinion of her.
After all, he had secretly observed her in Feinheim because of Redis, and his understanding of her had always remained at the level of "a timid, gentle and mediocre ordinary woman."
Now it seems that I miscalculated.
After a while, those ninth-level possessed moon messengers were riddled with holes all over their bodies and fell down one after another.
Although he hasn't died yet, he has lost his fighting ability, so he can be ignored for the time being. Xifeng thought so, watching through the scope as Beichen used the black claws in his right hand to deeply cut open the neck of the Disaster Emperor -
At this moment, a loud roar suddenly appeared behind Beichen! Beichen buried one hand in the neck of the Disaster Emperor and turned his head to look over, a trace of anxiety and helplessness flashed across his face.
More than a dozen more. Other nearby possessed Moon Envoys arrived.
Xifeng frowned - he was so focused on watching the battle that he forgot to pay attention to the terrain map!
An unusual feeling of annoyance welled up in his chest, as if the good show he was watching had been interrupted. Xifeng pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Buzz──
The buzzing sound caused by photons vibrating in the air rang out continuously.
A thin white beam of light shot out from the muzzle of the gun, quickly rushed over a thousand meters, and accurately hit the head of the eighth-level possessed Moon Messenger behind Beichen. Then a strange cracking sound was heard, and it suddenly exploded, blood and brain matter splattered everywhere. Beichen turned his head reflexively, but was still covered in dirt.
Before she could understand what was happening, several more white lights flashed by, and the disgusting sound of a head exploding came from behind her.
As if she understood something, she suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction of the west wind.
In the sight, the girl 1,500 meters away, with her face covered in blood, gave Xifeng a sincere smile.
Xifeng felt a little unhappy for some reason. He moved the gun barrel, adjusted the focus of the scope, narrowed the observation range so that Beichen was out of his sight, and then continued to pull the trigger.
The buzzing sound started again, and the possessed moon users a thousand meters away fell one after another.
No matter how big the creature is, one shot will kill it in one go, and every bullet will hit its target!
At the same time, Beichen swung his claws again, slicing the other side of the Disaster Emperor's throat. The Disaster Emperor, already exhausted, could no longer withstand the blow. He let out an earth-shaking cry and fell to the ground, twitching and struggling.
Beichen jumped off the back of the Disaster Emperor, and his twin claws transformed into human form to fight against the remaining possessed Moon Envoys. Beichen then forcefully pulled Xiang Ying out from the Disaster Emperor's back, bringing out a large amount of blood.
At this moment, one of the possessed Moon Messengers seemed to have sensed the direction of the white light attacking it, and then opened its mouth and condensed the Star Spirit Cannon in the direction of Xifeng's ambush - the diameter was very small and it was a long-range type. It was unknown whether this possessed Moon Messenger was extremely intelligent or was under the instructions of the human-shaped possessed Moon Messenger.
Xifeng stood there expressionlessly, and didn't seem to have any intention of dodging. Even if he was hit by the eighth-level possessed Moon Messenger's Star Spirit Cannon, it would not be a problem. His position was a good vantage point. In order to deceive the humanoid possessed Moon Messenger that there was no one here, it was worthwhile to get hit.
But Beichen, unaware of Xifeng's considerations, changed her expression. She switched her longsword to her left hand and began to charge at the possessed Moon Envoy. As she charged, she extended her right hand. The black of the twin claws transformed into a streak of black light and caught up with her. Then, in the last few meters, she used the momentum of the charge to leap high, twisting her upper body—
His right hand drew three beautiful arcs, almost at an angle of 180 degrees, and gave the possessed Moon Envoy a bloody slap in the face!
boom!
The Protoss Cannon was fired, but it was forcibly deflected!
A bluish-purple light flashed a few meters to the side of Xifeng. Xifeng didn't turn around to look, but just stared at the girl in the sight and gritted his teeth.
She was protecting him? Who would need a low-level warrior like her to protect him?!
While trying hard to suppress his inner irritation, he continued to pull the trigger to eliminate the remaining possessed Moon Messengers - including the attacker whose skull was exposed to the air after being slapped by Beichen.
Seeing her once again in a state of disarray due to the blood plasma exploding from her head, Xifeng's mood gradually improved and calmed down.
He glanced at the topographic map.
The red dots had almost disappeared, but the number of blue dots remained the same. He took his eyes off the scope and looked down. He saw a vast expanse of undulating battlefield made up of Protoss tree trunks. The corpses of possessed Moon Messengers were scattered all over the ground. The bluish-purple blood flowed everywhere, almost forming tiny streams that slowly flowed along the terrain.
It should have been a sacred and warm birthplace for weapons of war, but now it has turned into a Shura field filled with murderous aura.
The battlefield became quiet. The Lingwu Division members (including Beichen) crushed the recovery spirit crystals to adjust their physical condition while carrying out the follow-up killing activities - the possessed Moon Envoy killed by the human form of the weapon would regenerate, so they had to be killed again in the human form holding the weapon.
The silence was a little too eerie, so Xifeng immediately aimed the sight in the direction of the humanoid possessed Moon Envoy.
——As expected, he (?) moved.
With a tap of his toes, he jumped down from the platform and landed in front of the Lingwusi members of the main team.
“──”
Perhaps many people in the Lingwu Division also saw the Moon Envoy possessed in human form for the first time, and some of them gasped.
...Is that... the human-shaped possessed Moon Envoy?
Long hair with a faint blue-purple fluorescent glow.
There was a strange biological shell on the head, protecting the forehead like a helmet, and below it were a pair of blood-red eyes - slightly different from human pupils.
She was naked—of course. Judging by human biology, she could be considered male, given her lack of breasts. Much of her body was covered in a biological carapace similar in texture to her head—but at least her torso was still very similar in structure to a human.
But it was different behind him.
The first thing extending from the back is what looks like the skeleton of wings.
Then, what appears in the tail vertebrae is a long and thin tail made up of sharp bones.
——It was like a demon from the moon.
Then he stared at the people in front of him with his blood-red eyes and slowly opened his lips.
He spoke.
"…Close combat mode, TRII-5, ON."
