The battle in the floating city has lasted for a day and a night, and everyone is exhausted, both physically and mentally, with no hope in sight.
On the nearby shore, a steady stream of lustful demons continued to arrive, and they could not be killed off no matter what.
Fortunately, the floating city is situated on a huge red rock, half of which is submerged in the sea and the other half is above the surface.
The lustful demons had to climb the rocks to attack the people in the city.
It is precisely because of this defensive terrain that the people have been able to hold out for so long.
However, as time went by, the rocks were filled with bones, which eventually filled in the seawater.
Countless succubi climbed rapidly into the city, stepping on the sloping piles of bones, putting immense pressure on the defenses.
"Hold on, if you retreat, you'll only face death. No matter how many monsters there are, there will be a time when they're all killed."
The deliveryman, carrying a megaphone, patrolled the front lines of the battle, encouraging and cheering on the people.
He also sent people to bring spiritual fruits and wine with restorative effects, which were given to whoever was injured to reduce casualties.
The strange artifacts in the warehouse have also all been brought out, and now everyone has one, greatly increasing the efficiency of killing lust demons.
The Desire Demons rely on numbers to win, and some of them are highly skilled. They often storm into the city, causing numerous casualties.
"Sir, something terrible has happened! The southern defense line has been breached, and a large number of skeleton monsters have broken in."
The broken bus sped towards them from a distance; the sound of it reached them even before it arrived, causing panic among the crowd.
The delivery guy said irritably, "What are you yelling for? I'm not deaf. Go find the patrol team and block the gap right now."
“All patrol teams are in key positions and cannot be withdrawn now.”
Where is the Netherworld Hungry Wolf?
"We're entangled with some powerful skeleton monsters and can't provide support."
As they were talking, screams echoed from other parts of the city.
It's no surprise that more and more monsters are breaking in and tearing down the defenses.
The deliveryman's face darkened as he racked his brains for a way to salvage the situation.
I thought about it again and again, but there was still no solution.
"Is there really no miracle this time?"
Just as he finished speaking, a strange roar suddenly came from afar.
The attacking succubi paused in unison, then all turned and retreated, and the battle ended in an instant.
The delivery guy, bewildered, quickly climbed to the rooftop and gazed into the distance.
He saw a figure on the opposite bank riding a giant wolf, galloping wildly through the monster army. After passing by, monsters fell in droves.
The once densely packed areas have all become blank.
"Master is back! We're saved! Waaaaah..."
As she shouted, she started to cry.
He was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that the floating city would be destroyed in his hands, and he would not be able to explain that to his master.
Fortunately, the master returned and turned the tide, forcing the monster army to retreat.
Countless survivors collapsed to the ground, staring in disbelief, first in astonishment, then in ecstasy.
They knew they were finally saved. The monsters that would have taken several kills to kill simply walked past Xia Tianqiong without any contact, and died in large numbers.
It couldn't be simpler.
"Xia Yingxiong is indeed not human, he is a god!"
"No wonder he has his current wealth and status; he was already so powerful on his own."
"Sigh, I'm so envious and jealous. A big shot will always be a big shot."
The public was relieved and finally had the mood to chat for a while.
The delivery guy stood on the rooftop for a while, then got back to work.
He ordered the patrols to tally the casualties and collect all the bodies.
There were as many as forty or fifty thousand lustful demons on the shore, and due to the terrain, they were clustered together in a relatively dense manner.
This greatly facilitated Xia Tianqiong, who could sweep across with the power of reincarnation and kill hundreds of lust demons in an instant.
The wolf demon moved with incredible speed, darting through the army of lustful demons. Wherever it passed, the area immediately became empty, leaving only piles of white bones.
The army of lust demons initially tried to overwhelm him with sheer numbers, but when they realized they couldn't, they had no choice but to retreat.
Xia Tianqiong chased for dozens of miles and killed thousands of lust demons before returning.
This battle lasted for more than twenty minutes and killed approximately twenty to thirty thousand lust demons.
Back in the floating city, I rode my wolf-like spirit through the streets. Everywhere I looked, there were bones, corpses, and wounded civilians.
The buildings were undamaged, but blood had stained every street.
The surviving people lay on the ground or rested against the wall. Their gazes toward Xia Tianqiong were filled with awe, envy, and a touch of worship.
The delivery ghost, accompanied by several ghost generals and a group of contracted ghosts, came to greet Xia Tianqiong.
"Master, I failed to protect the floating city. Please punish me."
"This is not your fault. Tell me about the casualties."
Xia Tianqiong's expression was calm, but he exuded a chilling aura.
He originally led 100,000 female soldiers on his journey, but fearing that the lustful demons would discover the floating city, he abandoned the main force and rode the wolf-like ghost general back first.
Thankfully we returned in time; otherwise, the floating city might have fallen.
The deliveryman stepped forward and reported in a low voice, "Master, our family casualties are not high, only a little over five hundred, and they are all of low rank."
The casualties among the guests in the city were quite heavy; of the original 128,000, more than 56,000 died, and the survivors were all wounded.
After reporting on the casualties, they began to report on the consumption situation.
The artifacts could be retrieved, but a considerable amount of spirit wine and spirit fruit were used, in addition to reward vouchers worth tens of billions.
Xia Tianqiong paid no attention to these expenditures, his gaze fixed on the corpses scattered all over the ground.
These were originally customers of the floating city, and they were implicated by him and suffered an undeserved disaster.
Once this matter is over, we must settle accounts with the Three-Eyed Old Ghost.
"Don't worry about the money. Just comfort the surviving people and collect the bodies of the dead."
At this point, he looked around and asked, "Where's the Infant Tree Demon? Is he alright?"
"Boss, I'm here!"
The Infant Tree Ghost squeezed out from behind a group of contracted ghosts, with the two Huang sisters by its side.
Xia Tianqiong didn't waste any words and asked directly, "What were the results of the human mutation experiments I asked you to do before?"
"We have mastered the mutation patterns and achieved a 100% success rate."
Speaking of these things, the little face of the Infant Tree Ghost was full of excitement. "Whether it is an ordinary person or a corpse that has been dead for no more than seven days, they can all undergo physical mutation through the Ghost Transformation Pool and the Infant Fruit, thereby strengthening their physical strength and gaining the ability to cultivate the power of the Netherworld."
During this period, I have produced more than sixty mutants, and in the battle just now, they all demonstrated combat power far exceeding that of ordinary people.
Oh, and there's another interesting phenomenon: resurrected mutants obtained through experiments on corpses are far more potent than mutants born from living people. The reason for this is currently unknown.
Xia Tianqiong nodded slightly, but did not show any joy.
