The city of Tengchong, which was on the verge of falling, was given a temporary respite thanks to the spontaneous attack organized by the adventurers within the city.
These adventurers may lack skill or have different motives.
Perhaps it was out of genuine desire to protect their homeland, or perhaps it was simply to save their own lives.
However, their appearance also genuinely bought the soldiers in the military some breathing room.
However, their strength was ultimately limited. Faced with the seemingly endless tide of beasts and swarms of insects, even the soldiers of the military were retreating one after another, so how much better could they be?
Ultimately, with their strongest fighters gone, the warriors of Tengchong City were no longer on equal footing with the beast tide.
Faced with the endless onslaught of beast hordes and the suicidal attacks of poisonous insects, breaching the city was now an urgent matter.
On the battlefield, an A-rank fire-type awakened individual with a large hole pierced in his chest was panting heavily.
He felt his hands and feet getting colder and smiled helplessly.
At this point, his chest had been pierced, and the flesh in his chest was already rotting, clearly indicating that he had been severely poisoned.
Moreover, the medical abilities of the treatment team haven't appeared in his area for a long time.
The awakened one knew he was doomed, but looking at the three earth dragons and the human-faced spiders still surrounding him, he felt a little unwilling.
These damned sixth-grade beasts, which are usually rarely seen and have no interest in human cities, have suddenly appeared before my eyes and launched an attack on Tengchong City.
If the military hadn't been completely unprepared and never imagined that a strange beast from the depths of the wilderness would launch an attack on the city, they wouldn't be in such a passive position now.
Feeling his own weakness and the constant loss of his life force, he decided that if he was going to die, he would die a glorious death; he didn't want to be buried here in such a pathetic state.
He lightly tapped his finger, circling it around himself.
Then came a burst of intense heat, and the exploding ring of fire bounced away from him, forcing back all the surrounding demonic beasts.
He then used all his strength to lunge towards his teammates.
Purple blood seeped from his mouth and nose as he roared loudly:
"Bear, throw me up there!!!"
Meanwhile, another man, as tall as an iron tower and gleaming with metallic luster, also had tears welling up in his eyes upon seeing his appearance.
His hands moved with unwavering precision. He not only used his broad, sturdy back to withstand the sneak attacks of the earth dragons' long tongues, but also spun around twice to throw the fire spell directly into the poisonous insects in mid-air.
Enveloped and devoured by countless poisonous insects, the fire mage coughed up blood from his mouth and nose, laughed loudly, and then mobilized all his spiritual energy to self-destruct.
Instantly, endless flames swept out, turning the entire sky crimson.
Large swaths of insect corpses were licked by the powerful tongues of fire, then turned into charcoal, and finally vaporized into a cloud of black ash, which, under the surging airflow, resembled a black, pungent wind.
...
At the same time, the Peacock Demon King's calm voice rang out again.
"What, do you want to go down and help?"
Upon hearing the Peacock Demon King's question, Wang Zheng knew that even if he waited until the king left before making his move, he would still be unable to avoid the king's notice. Therefore, he decided to be more decisive and just admit it as an excuse.
So he merely glanced indifferently at the fire-type awakened being who had self-destructed in the swarm of insects, and coldly replied:
"Help? Help whose help?"
The Peacock Demon King said again, "I see you seem very interested in getting involved. Why?"
Wang Zheng made no attempt to hide it and directly admitted it.
"Yes, if I can contribute to this battle, my position in China will be even more secure, which will be very important for Father's future plans."
After saying that, Wang Zheng licked his lips and forcibly hypnotized himself, treating the strange beasts below as living spiritual energy limits.
Instantly, his face was filled with greed, and his eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty red.
Wang Zheng took a deep breath and revealed a perverted smile.
He lowered his voice and growled impatiently:
"Besides, what a wonderful smell this is! Do we need any reason to have a good fight?"
I can't hold back any longer! What kind of show do you want me to see? If you don't hurry, I'm going to go down and start a massacre!
This was the first time Wang Zheng had discussed his mission in front of the Peacock Demon King, and Kong Xuan, who had already acknowledged his identity, became somewhat interested in it.
However, he wisely refrained from asking Wang Zheng about his mysterious father's plans, knowing that Wang Zheng would definitely not tell him.
In his eyes, Wang Zheng cared a lot about information about his father. In all the prehistoric secrets he told, his so-called father, who had lived from the prehistoric era to the present, never appeared once.
Since he was destined not to get the answer he wanted, the Peacock Demon King simply stopped asking, hoping to leave a good impression.
Looking at Wang Zheng's cold eyes and thirst for battle, Kong Xuan seemed to have gotten the answer he wanted. He stared at Wang Zheng expressionlessly for a while, and then suddenly laughed.
