The mutated creature held him in its mouth and thrashed him a few times. His waist was already broken. Even if he survived, his life would be miserable. Furthermore, they couldn't rescue him immediately, which would only cause him more pain.
Recognizing the situation, Jin Wenye soared into the air. A bolt of lightning, half a meter wide, descended from the sky and struck the alien's head. The creature trembled as if electrocuted, the fur on its head scorched. Its massive body swayed a few times before finally collapsing.
This strike completely depleted Jin Wenye's abilities. After releasing the lightning, he also fell, but was caught mid-air by someone running towards him. They landed on the ground together.
He looked closely and saw it was the person in charge of defending Gate Four.
"How are things on your side?"
"Mr. Shen is there. Everything is fine on our side."
Half of the high-level ability users from Gate Three came to help, boosting their combat power and morale. They began to cooperate, ice and water ability users working together, wind and fire ability users working together. Nearby soldiers with heavy weapons also assisted. Coupled with the long-term support of the spiritual spring water, they were finally able to resist these monsters.
Just as the alien creatures in front of them were about to be wiped out, a dense flock of flying birds soared towards their base. The air raid siren blared again, and 007 also chimed in to warn them.
At this moment, the ground was covered with the corpses of alien creatures, and also a few human bodies. Blood stained the square in front of them, and some even flowed together from lower areas, creating a scene that looked like a river of blood.
The black alien birds in the sky blotted out the sun. The closer they got to them, the denser they appeared, with only slivers of light filtering down from afar. Coupled with the bloody and terrifying scene on the ground, an inexplicable sense of apocalyptic dread washed over them.
Even though the place they were in was already a doomsday.
A figure appeared, riding a sword. Jin Wenye's previously slightly panicked expression immediately calmed down. He pulled out his communicator to inquire about the situation on the other sides, while shouting to the others, "Don't let them in, everyone fight!"
The person in the sky did not descend to help. They hovered in mid-air, and before the alien creatures could reach the airspace above the base, thousands of sword shadows flew out from the long sword. These light-like sword shadows, carrying a chilling aura, shot towards the myriad forms of the aliens, piercing through them. The aliens, like startled birds, began to fall.
The sword shadows flew far, then turned back. This time, they not only struck the aliens in the sky but also many of those approaching on the ground, piercing vital spots, causing them to collapse immediately.
This move eliminated nine out of ten aliens in the sky. The remaining ones flew into the range of the sniper rifles on the upper floors and were immediately riddled with holes. Some, with injured wings, fell to the ground and were quickly finished off by those who pounced on them, leaving no survivors.
After dealing with the aerial threats, Shen Zhongyan landed in front of them. Some of the largest alien creatures were injured, while others were still ferocious, swinging their large claws at the wounded ability users.
Shen Zhongyan blocked a claw with his sword. With a flick of his wrist, the claw, the size of a black bear's paw, was severed with a single strike, falling with a thud before the ability user.
"Roar!" The alien clearly became enraged. With a roar, it attacked Shen Zhongyan with its other intact claw, while also lunging at the others.
Shen Zhongyan held his sword horizontally in front of him, retreating a few steps with the alien's movement. Just as it was about to crush the ability users, he pushed back forcefully, causing the alien to stumble. Shen Zhongyan charged towards its face, intending to pierce its eyes. However, the monster's large claw suddenly slammed down from the side.
To evade the claw, Shen Zhongyan had to dodge to the side. Just as the monster was about to retract its claw, he sprang back and swung his sword towards the still intact claw. He sliced off a large chunk of flesh from the claw. As the alien thrashed about in fury, he thrust his long sword inward, gripping the hilt tightly and slashing downwards.
Everyone heard the horrifying sound of the blade cutting through flesh. The monster was cut from its chest to its lower abdomen. It toppled to the ground, its entrails spilling out. The ability user nearby immediately threw a fireball at the exposed intestines.
The giant alien let out another cry, but this time it was much weaker, more like a death rattle.
The others bombarded it with various abilities, and soon the giant alien breathed its last. By then, Shen Zhongyan was already dealing with other aliens.
Among the many aliens, one was particularly difficult to handle: a multi-headed serpent. From its seven-inch mark upwards, dozens of branches split off, large and small, each topped with a dense cluster of snake heads. It looked like Medusa had arrived. Its body was immense, and the head area was like a hot air balloon, capable of defending in all directions, making it very difficult to deal with.
Shen Zhongyan flew up and charged towards its massive head. However, he was intercepted by its tail halfway. As the majestic large tail swung towards him, Shen Zhongyan had no intention of confronting it head-on.
Li Shuangjin felt his waist and legs would surely break if hit by the tail of such a large snake. He quickly ascended further. The tail missed, and it slammed into the ground with a loud thud. The cement slab in that area was sent flying, and the ground within a radius of ten square meters was exposed, with a pit nearly a meter deep at the impact site.
Everyone else retreated, fearing they might be caught in the crossfire.
Shen Zhongyan hovered in mid-air, contemplating how to deal with this behemoth. It had too many heads, making it almost impossible to find an entry point. Striking a snake at its seven-inch mark was a known tactic, but this snake's seven-inch mark had mutated so much that its location was unknown.
After much thought, Shen Zhongyan decided to try and cut it apart. Some of the clustered heads were clearly connected, and some were not very agile. If he could separate that mass of deformed heads, he didn't believe it could survive.
With this thought, Shen Zhongyan released his long sword and flew down. As the monster's tail swung again, he dodged the most powerful part of the strike and jumped onto its midsection. He gathered wind blades in his hands and slashed down forcefully.
With a "swoosh," a wound about ten centimeters long appeared on the giant snake's body. It wasn't completely cut in half, which only further enraged the serpent. It writhed violently on the ground, and its heads swiveled around, dozens of forked tongues flicking out towards Shen Zhongyan as their mouths opened to bite him.
Shen Zhongyan didn't have time to escape and clung tightly to the snake's body. He rolled around on it, using the momentum to kick the mass of heads. A few heads immediately went still. The others, enraged, lunged at him more frantically. The tail behind also tried to coil around Shen Zhongyan.
