The oppressive atmosphere of the descending Black Tide continued to spread throughout the Land of Redemption.
All the lords began intensive preparations for war.
No one knows just how terrifying this continental disaster will be.
Su Bai set up three lines of defense in the barren desert.
One line is the defensive line formed by the territories of human lords.
Another line of defense consisted of both native tribes and exiled tribes.
Another obstacle is the 800,000-strong insectoid army left behind by Su Bai.
Teleportation arrays have also been set up in the heart of the desolate desert, so that if either the desolate desert or the barren wilderness encounters danger, they can provide immediate assistance.
Having set up the defensive lines in the desolate desert, Su Bai and Kerrigan used [Psionic Displacement] to return to their base camp in the barren wasteland.
The desolate wilderness is closer to the cursed islands than the barren desert.
This is also one of the reasons why Su Bai stationed most of his troops in the desolate wilderness.
The three days of preparation passed in the blink of an eye.
The mist that lingers over the Land of Redemption shows no sign of dissipating.
However, after waiting all morning, there was still no trace of the anticipated hybrid creature.
Is this hybrid creature not coming?
Perhaps they were scared away by the strength of our lords!
Sigh, I was really looking forward to showing off my amazing skills!
The absence of hybrid creatures prompted many lords to start making jokes in the world chat.
But no one noticed that none of the lords who appeared were located around the Cursed Isles.
Only Su Bai, through [Psionic Displacement] and the vision of the King Insect in the sky, realized that the hybrid creature had actually appeared.
In just one morning, the entire territory, from the Cursed Isles to the desolate wilderness, was transformed into a lifeless wasteland.
This requires an extremely terrifying level of combat power to achieve!
The Zerg alarm suddenly sounded, and dark figures slowly appeared in the mist on the outskirts of the desolate wilderness.
First there were dozens, then hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of dark figures.
The shadowy figures continued to advance, revealing their true forms.
Upon hearing the alarm, Su Bai and the other heroes, who had rushed to the high ground of their territory, were astonished to see the true face of the dark figure.
"What exactly is this thing?"
Zhao Ganwu gaped, his already limited knowledge being shocked by the monster's appearance.
"Is it an elf?"
"Damn, they look kind of like orcs too."
That hybrid creature possessed the robust physique of an orc, and was even slightly stronger than an orc.
However, the orc features only account for half of their characteristics; on their backs, they also have wings belonging to the elves and pointed ears unique to them.
Its pitch-black pupils held no life whatsoever, making it seem like a fabricated walking corpse.
Su Bai immediately checked the attribute panel of this strange hybrid creature.
【Hybrid Mist Beast】
[Quality: Epic]
[Level: lv30]
[Description: A product of elves and orcs under the influence of dark forces, possessing most of the characteristics of elves and orcs]
The hybrid creature silently marched toward Su Bai's territory.
The outermost [Poison Explosion Nest] trap was triggered, and green poisonous mist gushed out.
Ordinary creatures will immediately lose their ability to move upon contact with this poisonous fog.
However, for the [Hybrid Mist Beast], it only briefly disrupted their progress.
The pale green fluorescence of the elven healing spell flickered continuously, and the poisonous mist was quickly cleared away.
When it was only a few hundred steps away from Su Bai's territory, the Hybrid Mist Beast stopped and took out a bow and arrow from its back.
Elves and some orcs are skilled with bows and crossbows.
The combination of the elf's archery skills and the orc's immense strength allowed the [Hybrid Mist Beast] to easily pierce the hard shells of the cockroaches within its territory with its arrows.
Within the territory, countless cockroaches, serving as shields, were riddled with arrows.
The hybrid mist beast continued to fire arrows, and the rain of arrows made Su Bai feel considerable pressure.
If we simply defend our territory, the casualties could be a terrifying number.
The long-range firepower suppression of 500,000 Hybrid Mist Beasts was something the Zerg could not withstand.
Even the Zerg unit with the longest attack range cannot match the [Hybrid Mist Beast].
"All Zerg legions, form ranks!"
"The cockroach army leads the way, the rest of the army follows!"
"Charge out!"
In this situation, close combat is the only way out.
The Zerg army surged out from the territory, with the vanguard of the cockroach army bearing the swarming arrows of the Hybrid Mist Beasts.
Su Bai frowned inwardly; these [Hybrid Mist Beasts] were only level 30.
Logically speaking, their level is not much different from that of the Zerg.
But the current situation is that the arrows fired by the [Hybrid Mist Beast] can easily pierce through cockroaches.
Even a level 50 orc legion couldn't achieve this level of performance in the battles of the desolate desert.
The actual combat power of the [Hybrid Mist Beast] should far exceed level 30, and be even stronger than those level 50 orcs.
Under the almost reckless charge of the Roach army, the following Zergling army, Hydralisk army, and Destroyers finally clashed with the Hybrid Mist Beast.
The Hybrid Mist Beast, engaged in battle with the Zerg army, put away its longbow and took out a weapon favored by the Orcs.
Large axes, giant hammers, two-handed cleavers... and so on.
The two sides began a fierce battle. The power of the [Hybrid Mist Beast] was almost three times that of a beastman of the same level.
No insect soldier could withstand a single attack from the Hybrid Mist Beast.
"Fortunately, these hybrid creatures are only level 30."
Su Bai watched as the Zerg army's lines were being compressed.
The million Zerg were completely overwhelmed by the 500,000 Hybrid Mist Beasts.
Fortunately, they had an absolute numerical advantage, and although it was very difficult, they were still able to hold the line.
"Continuing to consume them like this is not a solution; the physical strength of these hybrid creatures is too high."
The Hybrid Mist Beast combines the physique of an orc with the healing magic of an elf, making it difficult for non-lethal damage to cause casualties.
Given the current casualties and the excessively dense troop concentration on the battlefield, it is not the right time to use corpse explosion.
After pondering for a moment, Su Bai turned his gaze to the infected refugee camp.
Hybrid organisms, despite possessing dark energy, are ultimately still within the realm of living organisms.
In other words, corrosion and infection can still work on the [Hybrid Mist Beast].
The Hybrid Mist Beast is not immune to infection and toxins, but rather its Elf Healing Technique can quickly treat infection and toxins.
However—infected civilians are completely unaffected by any healing spells!
