Seeing this tragedy, Lu Qingchen frowned slightly. The humanoid monsters outside were no easier to deal with than the monsters in the Black Domain!
The horrific state of those people was so terrible that even he, a professional assassin, could hardly bear to look at them.
He suppressed his nausea and ran to Gu Mingyue's side, asking, "Beautiful boss, your base members are beyond saving. They're already dead before the level 5 monsters have even made a move. Why don't you come with me and escape now?"
Gu Mingyue glanced at him coldly, then conjured countless golden crescent-shaped throwing knives in her hands, stabbing at the spiked monsters whose faces were not protected by spikes.
"Instead of trying to persuade me, you should use your bow and arrow to shoot those monsters through their eyes. If you keep trying to disrupt the morale of the troops around me, I'll dig out your crystal core and advance my own level."
Lu Qingchen was scolded by her, but he wasn't angry. He just kept his distance. This woman was capable and had a bad temper. If he pushed her too far, she might really dig out his crystal core and level up to the late stage of level four.
He moved with incredible speed, his level four wind-type ability allowing him to easily dodge the level four spiked monsters flying in the air, and then draw his bow and shoot an arrow at a spiked ball.
With a clang, the arrow bounced back.
Lu Qingchen's handsome eyebrows furrowed even more. "How come this monster's spikes are like steel? How are we supposed to fight it?"
She then turned to look at the tall man in a white uniform standing next to Gu Mingyue.
Xinghe used a spatial shield to protect Gu Mingyue, and then used his teleportation ability to dodge the spiked monsters' attacks. The spatial blade in his hand could easily cut off the spiked monsters' attacks.
The Space Blade, simply put, tears through space. No matter how strong the spiked monster's spikes are, they can't stop the space from being torn apart.
If the spiked monster wants to escape from the Star River, it can only rely on its more acute sixth sense than humans and its speed advantage to quickly dodge the palm-sized spatial rift that is about to be torn open.
"Tch~ This man's superpower is not bad." Lu Qingchen said with a sour tone, unwilling to admit that Xinghe's ability was stronger than his.
Then he looked at Gu Mingyue, who was controlling countless throwing knives.
Even though Xinghe protected her with a spatial shield, Gu Mingyue was not complacent.
The monsters fighting outside the space shield were all members of her Bright Moon Base, not just tools who contributed loyalty points to her.
Just the day before, these same people were greeting her, repairing the city walls, laying paving stones, and planting vegetables for her...
They cheered for her victory, worried about her wounds, and offered her strategies for defeating the enemy.
She had some feelings for them, and Gu Mingyue was somewhat moved by their deaths, but she didn't have time to be sad and shed tears.
Every second she was heartbroken made her lose her judgment, so she could only become cold and aloof, ignoring the corpses of her members who had been slaughtered by monsters, her eyes only focused on killing monsters!
Her mental power gradually extended. The radius of the space shield around Xinghe Branch was only five meters, but Gu Mingyue's mental domain extended directly to forty meters away.
Those level-four spiked monsters that entered her domain were all dizzy and disoriented. Their degenerated fleshy wings could no longer provide them with acceleration due to the reduced speed, and the rapidly spinning spiked balls gradually came to a stop.
"Aim the artillery fire at my vicinity," Gu Mingyue shouted to Zhang Sheng, who was controlling the gun emplacement, over the walkie-talkie.
Zhang Sheng was startled when he heard Gu Mingyue's order, and his hand trembled as he loaded the grenade.
"Quick, I have the Star River's protective shield on me, I'm not afraid of artillery fire." Gu Mingyue knew the base members' concerns and immediately added.
Hearing this, Zhang Sheng and the others dared to concentrate their firepower near Gu Mingyue.
Bang bang bang!
The deafening roar of artillery fire exploded around Gu Mingyue. The level four spiked monsters, whose minds were controlled by Gu Mingyue and who had almost lost control of their bodies and whose movements were extremely slow, screamed in pain as they were bombarded by the towering artillery fire.
The black metal spikes were blasted open, and the black goose down inside was ignited by the artillery fire, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries. Some heads were blown in half, revealing the crystal core inside.
The other level four spiked monsters, seeing the exposed crystal core, all wanted to swallow it to replenish their energy. They rushed over, but their movements slowed down, and they continued to be hit by artillery fire.
Once the artillery fire subsides, Gu Mingyue's golden crescent-shaped throwing knives will rush from all directions toward the heavily wounded monsters attempting to escape, entering from their eye sockets and behind their brains. The crescent-shaped throwing knives will change according to Gu Mingyue's will, with the tips of the knives tightening to form a semi-circle that carries the crystal cores into Gu Mingyue's hand.
Whenever Gu Mingyue encountered a mid-stage level four crystal core, she would absorb it desperately, striving to reach the late stage of level four as soon as possible.
Soon, a layer of tar-like black blood from the monster hung outside the space shield erected by the starry river.
Gu Mingyue's eyes pierced through the dripping streams of black blood flowing down from the space, looking directly at the level-five monsters thousands of meters away. These big guys were truly difficult to deal with.
The tracks of hundreds of tanks were already covered with black spikes from the Spiked Monster, and the cannons were firing in a rapid, gurgling motion.
Some spiked monsters were killed by concentrated artillery fire, while others joined forces to attack the tank, forming spiked balls that blocked the cannon barrel, trying to concentrate their fire on one side of the steel plate, and perishing together with the humans inside.
Lu Qingchen was also infected by the crowd. He abandoned his previous carefree attack methods and waved his hand, creating two small whirlwinds that swept up several spiked monsters.
The members of the Bright Moon Base also demonstrated their professionalism to him. Without him having to say anything, they immediately aimed their flamethrowers at his small tornado and sprayed it with flames, engulfing the tornado in flames.
The spiked monster inside screamed loudly as it was instantly burned. Under the carbon base, once the flames burned, all living beings were equal!
The monster's skin was instantly set ablaze, emitting a pungent odor of rotting flesh being roasted.
Gu Mingyue and Xinghe worked together, with Xinghe collecting all the level 4 mid-stage crystal cores and handing them over to Gu Mingyue.
