Chapter 701: Chapter 694: Monsters Emerge

"Damn, this girl still can’t control her strength." Seeing this, Cheng Ziang can’t help but shake his head and say.

Her strike instantly severed dozens of thick tentacles, and the cut-off tentacles were rolling and bouncing on the ground, their body recoiling in pain. Moreover, the untouched tentacles also retracted when they realized the danger.

For a moment, the previously chaotic Door of Annihilation quieted down, the severed tentacles ceased struggling after jumping around for a while, as their nerves died down. The ground is filled with dark blue blood, as thick and sticky as glue, just like the blood of Exotic Beasts.

As the tentacles slowly die, the Door of Annihilation plunges into an unsettling silence. Luoer has a bad feeling about this, suspecting this could be the calm before the storm.

After some thought, Luoer calls over Fulajie’er and orders her, "Fula, tell Moumou to retreat to a safe distance!"

"Eh!" Fulajie’er’s voice echoed in the empty air, and she immediately flew towards Tangmo.

Feeling the appearance of Fulajie’er, Tangmo, the one intent on picking up leaves and vines, glances at Luoer and shakes her head to indicate her refusal. Seeing her behave this way, Luoer almost yells out, "Quit hanging around there, hurry back!"

"We can’t stop before the job is done!" Tangmo shouts at him.

"Is this girl trying to drive me crazy!" Upon hearing her words, Luoer rarely shows his blush in anger.

"I’ll go get her!" Cheng Ziang glanced at him and said.

"No need, I’ll go myself." Luoer shakes his head and then quickly runs towards Tangmo.

"Are you crazy, you’re the captain!" Cheng Ziang watches Luoer’s retreating figure and urgently shouts out.

"And you’re the vice-captain!" Luoer says loudly without turning his head back. His meaning is clear. If anything happens to him, Cheng Ziang is to take command.

Luoer jogs to Tangmo, who just stood up from the ground and looks surprised at Luoer’s arrival.

"What are you standing there for, hurry up and let’s go." Luoer is no longer as calm as he usually is and becomes impatient. Before Tangmo can react, he grabs her wrist.

Tangmo gives a painful expression and then looks sadly at Luoer, saying, "Luo’er, I can’t leave, here needs me..."

"Anyone could do it, why does it must be you?" Luoer says angrily.

"Luo’er, listen to me, if we can close this Door of Annihilation, this crisis will be completely over." Tangmo says.

"This is the crisis of the people of the Otherworld, not our crisis. Even if it can’t be closed, it doesn’t matter. After all, it’s not us who will die." Luoer says.

"Luo’er, how can you say that," Tangmo wide-eyed with disbelief says, "We are people of the Otherworld too, this is also our world."

"I don’t care, whatever this world turns into has nothing to do with me, but I can’t lose you!" Luoer yells out loud.

Hearing his words, Tangmo is stunned for a while, her eyes slowly turning red. With tears streaming down her face, she laughs and says, "Why are you saying such things at this time? Weren’t we supposed to grow old together? Have you forgotten?"

"We will grow old together, but I’m taking you away is also an arrangement of the prophecy!" Luoer said seriously.

Luoer’s words directly attacked the most vulnerable part of Tangmo’s heart, so that she could no longer find words to counter Luoer’s request, she could only lower her head and let him arrange things.

"Feng, take Moumou and leave here, I’ll cover you!" Luoer said, pushing Tangmo to Feng, then he picked up his rifle and said.

Then, he glanced at the runes on the ground, and looked up and shouted at the young mages: "You guys get going, don’t bother with this rune for now, we’ll deal with it next time, there’s danger now!"

"Thank you!" Upon hearing Luoer’s words, the mages, relieved, quickly scrambled to run away.

Upon seeing them leave, Luoer couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, then he looked down at the runes on the ground again. At that moment, he heard Fulajie’er’s alarm shout in his ear: "Watch out!"

"Bang!"

As if something had slammed hard into the wall, Luoer looked closely and found it was an exotic beast. It had bumped into an abruptly appearing barrier in the air, then was heavily bounced back.

"Luoer, get out of here quickly, those monsters have come out!" His ear was filled once again with Fulajie’er’s anxious voice. Only then did he realize that Fulajie’er had just released a physical defense shield, blocking the attack of an exotic beast for him.

"Fula, retract the shield!" Luoer immediately raised his rifle, aimed at the alien beast that hadn’t yet recovered from the impact. As soon as Fulajie’er withdrew the shield, he immediately fired without hesitation.

"Ratatat!!!" Luoer fired a succession of more than a dozen shots, the bullets penetrated the exotic beast’s body, and exploded within it. Immediately, the exotic beast was shot to a bloody mess by him, with dark brown blood splashing everywhere.

The bullets generally used by the advance team are explosive bullets, developed based on shield-breaking bullets, originally designed by the Research Center to deal with a mage’s physical defense shield. However, they found in actual combat that the damage inflicted by this type of bullet after breaking the shield was minimal towards mages, at most only disrupting their casting. But surprisingly, the advance team found that these bullets are extremely lethal to unarmored soft targets.

The interior of the shield-breaking bullet is hollow, with a passive glyph and an energy-providing magic crystal, when the bullet-head is compressed, the passive glyph is activated, firing a magical attack on the target through the power supplied by the magic crystal.

When this bullet is fired at a mage’s physical defense shield, the bullet head can release magic that can penetrate the physical shield and harm the mage, but because the magic power provided by the crystal is too little, the damage is also very limited.

However, once this bullet hits a soft target, the bullet will compress and release magic inside the target, exploding directly in the center of the body. Although the power of the magic released by this bullet is small, once it is released inside the target, the power can increase geometrically.

Building on this, researchers at the Otherworld Weapons Research Center developed explosive energy bullets, designed to deal with unarmored soft targets. When this bullet enters the target, it releases explosive magic, generating a pressure hundreds of times greater than a single bullet, easily blowing a fist-sized hole in the target’s body.

The bullets Luoer used were explosive energy bullets, he fired a barrage and shattered the exotic beasts, reducing them to a bloody pulp. Even one of their forelimbs was torn off by the bullets.

After taking down the exotic beast, Luoer briefly wiped the front of his gas mask, then began to retreat facing the Door of Annihilation. With the appearance of the first exotic beast, more and more creatures began pouring out of the Door of Annihilation like an army, attacking the knights not far away.

Luoer noticed that these monsters were mainly exotic insects and beasts, which according to their understanding, should be hostile to each other, so why were they now mixed up and attacking the knights together?

The heavily armored knights didn’t care about that, seeing the exotic insects and beasts pouring out, they excitedly swung their weapons, shouting slogans and aggressively meeting the monsters head-on. They had been frightened by those tentacles just now, but they were not afraid of these monsters.

These knights had been battling these monsters for a while, their prized magic armor effectively withstood these monsters’ attacks, making each battle a unilateral massacre. So when they saw these monsters aggressively attacking again, their first thought was to attack, not retreat.
