Chapter 338 A Desperate Struggle (Part 1)
As Ah Chen rushed out, he had already created the first mental prison.
The mental cage he has created is now large enough to trap all the strange beasts within a range of three meters wide and ten meters long.
Although mental puncture is more lethal, it requires a high degree of precision and takes too much time.
When attacking multiple enemies at once, the Mental Cage is still more convenient.
"Mandarin Dwarf! Spray pollen into Achen's cage!" Tsuzaki Kaori ran quickly behind him, summoning her mutated mandarin duck as she did so.
The demon sprang from her wrist, instantly blooming dozens of large, light pink trumpet flowers. The exquisitely beautiful trumpet flowers quickly drifted into Ah Chen's mental prison, spraying pollen at the trapped beast inside.
This is the newly awakened skill of the Mandarin Duck, which allows it to accurately spray its pollen at the target.
Just a few dozen seconds later, the beast in the cage fell into an illusion. Taking advantage of this, Achen retrieved the mental cage and released the poisoned beast.
As soon as they broke out of their cages, they began to attack their own kind indiscriminately.
Gong Yan and Mo Xiulian, who were a step behind them, were initially attacking aimlessly. However, upon seeing their coordinated and ruthless methods, they spontaneously protected them and cleared away any strange beasts that unexpectedly pounced on them.
With the addition of the two of them, Ah Chen became even more focused and quickly created the second, third... and fifteenth mental prisons.
As expected, Tsuzaki Kaori dragged all the beasts in the fifteen cages into the illusion. Only two beasts with poison-type abilities were spared from being hallucinated.
However, faced with the relentless attacks of their crazed companions, they could only drag their injured bodies and try to escape.
In half an hour, their group had advanced 150 meters, carrying out the cutting task assigned by the company commander to the 12th squad.
The other two members of the 12th squad could only follow behind them and pick off any remaining beasts. When they caught a beast that was about to die from being beaten by its comrades, they would simply add a golden blade or earth spike to its vital points and easily harvest a beast core.
The primary objective of this mission was to divide the horde of alien beasts into four pieces. When the planes landed, the fourth squadron would land in the exact center of the southwestern piece.
The fourth squadron consists of three platoons: platoons 10, 11, and 12.
The mission of Achen and his team 12 was to cut a path from the center of the southwest block towards the southwest, creating a passage to separate them from the alien beasts.
Squad 11 charged in the opposite direction, northeast, while Squad 10 was responsible for spreading poisoned caltrops along the path they had cleared to completely isolate them and prevent the monsters from regrouping.
Squad 11's original plan was to quickly complete their first cutting task and then turn around and help Squad 12.
After they completed their first objective, they discovered that the student team had overtaken them.
The 10th squad, which was originally intended to protect them, was not needed and just ran errands the whole time. The remaining monsters that they were supposed to clean up had gone mad and were busy killing each other, so there was no need for them to help.
Gong Yan and Mo Xiulian, who had protected Achen and Tsuzaki Kaori from beginning to end, witnessed firsthand the power of mental and poison abilities, and Gong Yan's previous underestimation of poison abilities completely changed.
Taking a break on the battlefield, he immediately apologized to Tsuzaki Kaori: "I'm sorry! I went too far before. You can beat me up after the battle!"
Tsuzaki Kaori didn't bother to pay attention to her because she felt that her superpower was about to run out. In order to keep Man Yao's poison powder spraying, she had to keep nourishing it with her wood-type superpower.
Ah Chen felt that his superpowers were almost exhausted. From beginning to end, he had woven a total of 50 mental cages, trapping at least a hundred huge alien beasts.
After Tsuzaki Kaori used hallucinogenic powder to make them turn against each other and kill each other, her four-person team alone killed more than three hundred monsters.
The other two groups of Squad 12 followed suit, picking up the scraps and killing more than a hundred alien beasts in the process.
After completing the second cutting task, Achen and Tsuzaki Kaori couldn't help but collapse to the ground, panting. Gong Yan and Mo Xiulian stood guard beside them.
Just then, Achen's watch suddenly rang; it was a call from Meng Rui.
When Ah Chen answered the phone, he heard Meng Rui's urgent voice: "Boss Chen, something's wrong!"
"What's wrong?" Ah Chen asked.
"The number of beasts is not right! The captain said that the information sent back from the front said that more than 500 beasts have gathered."
We arrived an hour later. At that time, the plane detected a total of 1,050 alien beasts. I specifically looked at that detection data.
But look around now, there are at least 500 more monsters. In such a long time, each team must have killed at least 200 monsters on average, right?
"A total of 12 squads killed more than 2,000 alien beasts. Why aren't they all dead yet?" Meng Rui asked.
“Unless they keep replenishing, there are one or more locations in this area that we’ve overlooked, where a constant stream of strange beasts are crawling out to join the battle!” Ah Chen’s heart sank to the bottom.
At the same time, Qiao Jingsheng also realized what was happening, but he dared not say anything for fear of affecting morale.
He immediately notified Luo Xia, the commander of the vanguard battalion, requesting reinforcements.
However, Luo Xia said through the microphone with a sob in his voice: "There are no reinforcements to send. The vanguard battalion has a total of ten battalions, and they have all been sent out after receiving information about the gathering of alien beasts!"
"These damned beasts! They planned this all along, trying to wear us down by fighting in a dispersed manner!"
Qiao Jingsheng hung up the communication and resolutely opened the combat public channel: "All squadron leaders, listen up! Escort the student squad to the center point as soon as possible, and have three teachers escort them to leave by fighter jet!"
"What happened?" Teacher Loran asked immediately.
"At the same time, strange beasts gathered at all the small lakes around Seven-Colored Lake, and all the battalions of the vanguard camp were dispersed to ten different locations."
Meanwhile, the water beasts are continuously sending reinforcements through hidden locations beneath the small lake, while our external reinforcements are too far away to arrive in a short time.
"They want to wear us down, and we must get the students out of here first!" Qiao Jingsheng said.
“You can leave together; there’s no need to stay here to die,” Loran said.
“We can’t leave. Once we leave, the beasts will gather together, cross the highlands, and directly attack District 26, and then the other adjacent districts,” Qiao Jingsheng said.
“You can request support from the central district,” Loran said.
"If I'm not mistaken, this time all the vanguard battalions have encountered the beast tide at the same time, and it's even possible that all the districts have encountered the beast tide. They want to fight to the death and make all the safe zones fall completely overnight!" Qiao Jingsheng said in a deep voice.
