Chapter 269 Sweeping Away the Beast King
The lights of Skysea Harbor gradually shrank in the portholes, becoming a patch of light, then the outline of the coastline, and finally swallowed by the clouds.
Song Chen leaned back in his seat, closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again, looking out at the dark night sky through the porthole.
After eliminating the five strongholds on the border, we will wipe out the remaining land-based royal forces and finally invade the ocean.
Once humanity restores peace, he will go to the Pacific Ocean, to the center of that psionic vortex.
No matter what the Cangxing civilization left behind there, he will find it.
Two hours later, over the snowy plains of Northeast China.
Looking down through the porthole, Song Chen saw a black crack in the snowfield, more than three kilometers long, as if it had been cleaved open by a giant axe.
The snow at the edge of the crack had been eroded by psionic energy and turned grayish-black. A putrid stench filled the air, the lingering scent of the beasts that had inhabited the area for so long.
The Eye of Truth pierced the earth's surface, projecting the complete structure of the nest's interior into his consciousness.
The passageways were interconnected, and deep within them were countless points of psionic light, the one at the deepest point being dazzlingly bright.
A sixth-tier Snow Mastiff with 210,000 health and mana.
There were also seventeen fifth-tier beasts and more than four hundred fourth-tier beasts around, not to mention countless lower-tier beasts.
"Associate Song, all troops stationed around the snowfield are on high alert and ready to provide support at any time."
Han Duo's voice came from the cockpit.
Song Chen opened the hatch: "No need, just let them see."
Song Chen stepped out from 3,000 meters in the air, and the Beiming Battle Armor glowed faintly in the storm.
He crashed down vertically like a meteorite, then spread out when he was about 500 meters from the ground. His descent suddenly turned horizontal, carrying him directly into the depths of the rift.
The temperature inside the crack is actually higher than the temperature outside.
The beast's body temperature and psionic activity turned this underground lair into a sweltering cavern.
Song Chen's Eye of Truth swept across the darkness, locking onto the precise location of each strange beast.
Fourth-tier snow wolves pounced out from the side passage, more than a dozen of them attacking simultaneously, their fur hardening into ice armor under the drive of psionic energy.
Song Chen did not draw his sword, but the lightning field exploded inside the cave.
A spherical electric field with a diameter of 500 meters filled the entire main channel, and golden-purple electric arcs bounced repeatedly in the narrow space, with a density three times higher than in open areas.
The snow wolves' ice armor was as fragile as paper in the face of the electric arc; more than a dozen fourth-tier wolves fell down without even letting out a scream.
[A fourth-tier alien beast has been killed, gaining 4255 kill points]
[A fourth-tier alien beast has been killed, gaining 3800 kill points]
[A fourth-tier alien beast has been killed, gaining 3288 kill points]
……
Song Chen did not stop and continued to move forward along the main passage.
A field of lightning cleared a path in front of him, and any low-level beast that touched it died instantly.
The fungal carpet on both sides of the passage was burned into charred powder by the electric arc, and the putrid smell in the air was purified into the pungent ozone by the lightning.
Five Tier 5 snow wolves rushed out from the depths. They were more than five times larger than Tier 4 wolves, with a shoulder height of over thirty meters, and their fangs were covered with a dark blue ice-type spiritual energy.
The lead snow wolf king opened its mouth and exhaled a breath of ice, instantly freezing the moisture in the air into an ice wall in an attempt to seal off the passage.
Song Chen crashed into the ice wall, and the Heavenly Blade was drawn.
The first strike was against the leading snow wolf king.
The blade pierced through its open upper jaw, penetrating the soft palate, and the blade's energy poured into the cranial cavity.
The Snow Wolf King's icy breath was still stuck in its throat when its psionic energy exploded inside its body, shattering its entire head.
The second cut was made on the two snow wolves on the left.
The first strike of the Seven Heavenly Thunder Slashes unleashed a horizontal slash, cutting through both ends of the neck in one stroke, the sound of the spine breaking echoing through the passage.
With the third and fourth strikes, the two on the right attempted to flank from the side. Song Chen's figure passed through their attack trajectory, and the Tianjun Blade slashed back from under his ribs, cutting open the abdomen of one of them, and then piercing the heart of the last one.
Five heads, fifth tier, four strikes, all in less than twenty seconds.
The snow mastiff deepest inside finally moved.
A sixth-tier snow mastiff burst out from the deepest part of its den. It was 800 meters long and covered with thick, pure white fur.
It was more robust than the members of the Sirius Clan, with limbs as thick as pillars, and the entire passage trembled with every step it took.
Its eyes were ice blue, and its pupils churned with pure killing intent.
After the death of the Sirius King, this snow mastiff gathered the remaining members of the Sirius clan in the northeastern snowfields and proclaimed itself king.
"Human, although the Sirius King is dead, this is not a place where you can act recklessly."
The snow mastiff spoke, its voice low and deep.
Song Chen had no intention of talking to it and immediately started killing it.
Fuyao drew a folded arc in the passage, his figure appearing almost simultaneously in three positions: the front, the left side, and the top of the snow mastiff.
The snow mastiff unleashed its ice-based powers, sending hundreds of ice spears piercing the ground, but all of them missed their mark.
The Grandmaster-level Fuyao's ability to turn in a confined space caused all its predictions to fail. Before Song Chen's afterimage had even dissipated, his true form was already at the back of the snow mastiff's neck.
The Eye of Insight marks the weak point of the Tibetan Mastiff's cervical vertebrae, between the fourth and fifth vertebrae, where the armor is thinnest, with a gap of less than two centimeters.
The seventh strike of the Seven Heavenly Thunder Slashes.
The pure white blade energy sliced along the bone seams, severing the spinal cord and penetrating the vertebral artery, flowing all the way into the snow mastiff's skull.
The massive 800-meter-long body lost control while running, its forelimbs buckled and its head slammed into the ground.
When the snow mastiff died, the icy blue light in its eyes had not yet completely gone out.
[Slayed a Tier 6 alien beast, gaining 211554 kill points]
Song Chen landed on the snow mastiff's head and shook the blood off the blade.
There are many low-level alien beasts in this den; they are all walking killing machines.
Slaughter them all, from the outside in, leaving no one alive.
After half an hour.
Song Chen sheathed his sword and returned to the spaceship.
The wind and snow were still blowing outside, and the observation troops waiting outside the breach saw him emerge from the snow through their binoculars.
The observation team leader put down his telescope, his lips moved twice before he managed to squeeze out a sound.
"One person... half an hour..."
……
Two and a half hours later, in the northern section of the Tianshan Mountains.
The beast king that resides here is a branch of the Golden-Winged Roc clan, one of the four great royal clans of the land.
This branch's nest is located on a cliff face on the south side of the main peak of the Tianshan Mountains, at an altitude of over 5,000 meters.
The strongest sixth-tier Golden-Winged Roc has 220,000 health points, making it the fastest among the five border strongholds.
Qi Shanhe chased it twice, but both times it used its high-altitude advantage and the complex air currents of the Tianshan Mountains to shake it off.
When Song Chen's spaceship arrived, the local garrison's air defense artillery array had already been fully deployed, and a no-fly zone was established within a radius of 300 kilometers.
The commander was a veteran at the peak of the fifth rank, with an old scar running diagonally from his forehead to his chin. He saluted Song Chen on the tarmac.
"Associate Song, we have completed the encirclement, but the Golden-Winged Roc flies at an altitude of over 20,000 meters, which is beyond the reach of anti-aircraft guns, and our air power cannot catch up with it."
"Don't worry, it won't be able to fly today."
