Chapter 1 Beast Tide

The beast tide had come.

Within three seconds of the sea beasts making contact with the pioneers on the Wall of Steel, countless lives were lost.

Steel blades sliced through the air, landing on the sea beasts and easily tearing through their bodies.

The corpses of sea beasts fell from the high wall, but before they reached the bottom, they were crushed into minced meat by the swarm of beasts surging from behind.

This was an extremely savage invasion.

The sea beasts had no tactics or formations. They didn't selectively attack any particular area. Like the lowest of ants, they relied on their superior numbers and surged forward from the front.

This was the most third-rate human-wave tactic.

If any war experts were to witness the apostles’ command right now, they would think these apostles were incredibly stupid, because the human-wave tactic had the highest casualty rate and the smallest chance of success. This kind of tactical command was the equivalent of no command at all!

But there was one factor that had to be taken into consideration.

That was, the number of sea beasts was simply too great!

So great that the apostles didn't need to consider casualty rates at all!

Therefore, the apostles didn't need to think about any tactics. They only needed to continuously send the beast tide to Kuangxi Island. Relying on their numerical advantage, they could exhaust Li Tianran to death!

Among these sea beasts, mutated beasts still accounted for the vast majority. They were the most valiant cannon fodder. When the beast kings in the rear roared, they dared to use their bodies to resist the pioneers’ deadly steel blades.

A fish-man-like mutated beast rushed up, its bloody maw open, and bit fiercely at Lu Chi.

*Poof!*

A sharp blade pierced its head, and then cleaved down vertically, its body instantly split in two, innards and blood flowing all over the ground.

"So disgusting..." Lu Chi glanced at the blood and unknown mucus splattered on his chest, which emitted a strong fishy stench, and he couldn't help frowning. He swung his blade again, chopping up an octopus mutated beast on his left: "These little minions, they never end!"

The beast tide frantically climbed up the Wall of Steel. The pioneers silently and calmly struck with their blades. Soon, a very high pile of sea beast corpses had accumulated beneath the steel wall.

"Da da da!"

The sound of machine guns rang out.

A large number of adult-level and tank-level Combat Berserkers joined the battlefield. With their firepower, the rampant beast tide was curbed, and a stalemate was reached in a short time.

The beast tide could not break through the Wall of Steel, and Li Tianran could not drive them out of Kuangxi Island.

But at this moment, a ghostly figure darted out from the beast tide at a speed that was difficult to follow with the naked eye, instantly arriving in front of the tank Berserker at the very front. Before the tank Berserker's broad blade could strike, a bone-chilling sound of cracking steel was heard.

A furry beast claw pierced through the tank Berserker's chest, penetrating out of its back.

Only then did the people behind see what that ghostly figure was.

It was a creature like a macaque, with three blue stripes on its face, about two meters tall, and golden pupils.

Its image was very close to the shanxiao in ancient Federation legends!

"Subordinate Sequence Follower! Secondary evolution creature!"

The pioneers’ brows twitched wildly when they saw this shanxiao.

The strength of secondary evolution creatures was definitely not something these sea beasts could compare to. On the human defense line battlefield, pioneers needed a team dozens of times larger than the enemy and be prepared to sacrifice their lives to kill a secondary evolution creature!

*Ka-cha!*

The shanxiao moved extremely fast. After it pierced the tank Berserker's chest, it violently grabbed the tank Berserker's limbs and twisted them all to pieces!

Yes, not twisted off, but twisted to pieces!

Small, fragmented alloy pieces the size of a thumb fell to the ground, and the tank Berserker collapsed with a bang.

The material used to forge tank Berserkers was not ordinary steel, but an alloy that had never existed on Earth. This alloy had a high strength and could withstand a temperature of six thousand degrees without reducing its hardness, but at this time, this secondary evolution shanxiao actually crushed the tank Berserker with pure physical strength. This terrifying combat power gave the pioneers who witnessed all this a new understanding of the power of secondary evolution creatures.

After killing the tank Berserker blocking its way, the shanxiao immediately turned its gaze to Li Tianran on the left. Its gaze was filled with intense ferocity, and it pounced over instantly.

"Stop it!"

Lu Chi killed a sea beast, saw the shanxiao rushing towards Li Tianran, and immediately shouted angrily, striding over.

Others might not know, but he knew very well that although Kuangxi Island seemed very powerful at this time and could compete with ancient civilizations, 99 percent of the power of this island was in the hands of Li Tianran.

It could be said that Li Tianran was the core driver of this Kuangxi Island. Once Li Tianran had a problem, Kuangxi Island would instantly fall into paralysis.

Lu Chi would not forget that when they first came to Kuangxi Island, they were attacked by a beast tide. At that time, Li Tianran was "controlled" by the dream-weaving giant snake, and the firepower of the entire Kuangxi Island could not be activated. Everyone almost died that night!

Anyone on the entire Kuangxi Island could die, but Li Tianran could not have any problems!

Lu Chi roared. At the same time, the pioneers who were originally near Li Tianran also surrounded him. Finally, the pioneers formed a wall of flesh and blood before the shanxiao approached Li Tianran. Dozens of grim steel blades slashed at the shanxiao, as if to tear it to pieces.

*Clang!*

*Clang clang!*

The steel blades landed on the shanxiao's body, making a sound of metal clashing. The body strength of secondary evolution creatures was higher than steel. These steel blades that could cut gold and break stone could only barely break through the defense of the skin and flesh when they landed on them, and could not hurt their bones at all!

If they could not injure the bones, they could not stop the opponent from moving forward!

"Mi ga..." The shanxiao suddenly spoke, roaring some strange language in a low voice. Its sharp claws fell instantly, and the Storm Berserker armor of the pioneer at the very front was instantly torn open, leaving five bloody wounds on his chest!

*Bang!*

The shanxiao charged forward wildly, like a locomotive. When the pioneers felt themselves being hit by the opponent, it was like hitting a mountain peak, and they could not resist it at all!

"Cao ni ma..." A pioneer was knocked flying. He quickly adjusted the thruster on his lower back, forcibly changed the trajectory of his flight, and stopped abruptly, staring at the shanxiao: "This damn thing is too strong!"

...

"How dare such a weak body reside in the midst of a chaotic battlefield!" The apostle of the sky stared at Li Tianran in the center of the battlefield from afar, his voice carrying a hint of indifference and contempt: "If we discard the advantage of technological weapons, even the subordinate followers under our command can casually abuse and kill Li Tianran!"
