Star Abyss Walker

Chapter 401 Second Stage
"Fuck..."

Behind them, gasps of amazement filled the air.

At this moment, everyone must be feeling terrified.

Actually, I feel the same way. This Thunder Beast's body is too huge, it looks like a moving small mountain. Who can defeat such a big guy?

My power sword has a blade that's only 1 meter long. If you used it to pick someone's teeth, they'd probably be disgusted!

The weakness of the power sword lies here: it is quite ineffective against large units. After all, although the super warriors in "Star Abyss" are similar to ancient martial artists, they do not have real martial arts. Their combat skills come from various skills, unlike some cultivation and martial arts novels where a forty-meter-long sword aura is spewed out from the power sword!

If there really is a 40-meter-long sword aura, then things will be much easier; I can take on the Thunder Beast one-on-one!

……

Before the players could react, the Thunder Beast began to wreak havoc as soon as it appeared!
"Ho~~~"

With a roar, the giant body was propelled forward by its scythe-like claws, while the surface of its massive carapace crackled and hissed, with wisps of lightning emanating from its body.

"No...no way? They're using their ultimate move right from the start?"

Cai Cai was dumbfounded.

"Everyone, activate invincibility!"

I shouted in a hurry, and at the same time, the Annihilation Armor and the Stardust Wall were activated simultaneously!
"Roar--"

The Thunder Beast's enormous body charged into the crowd like a train carriage, its forelimbs raised high, its head radiating streaks of lightning. The moment it stomped its forelegs into the crowd, crackling sounds filled the air as a thundercloud storm struck directly into the crowd!
"78782!"

"80094!"

"78833!"

"99101!"

……

The offensive was too fierce, and the damage from the thundercloud storm was continuous!

Players who hesitated even slightly and didn't activate their invincibility immediately were all instantly killed!

That's brutal! Who can beat that thing?!
"Phase Teleportation Core!"

I immediately charged forward, unleashing my full power, trying to stop them, while shouting, "Go! We can't fight anymore!"

The Thunder Beast is too powerful, with explosive attributes. It would probably be one of the best among S10-level bosses, and it's simply beyond the capabilities of players at this stage.

"Fearless ones, retreat immediately, quick!"

Seeing everyone retreating one by one, he hurriedly gave orders to Aki.

But Aki was completely bewildered: "Damn, the thundercloud storm caused a short circuit inside the Dauntless. It's repairing itself, it'll take a few seconds!"

"I'll hold them off; leave as soon as you've recovered!"

"understand!"

Behind them, the players' defenses had collapsed.

Ruolin, Caicai, and the others directly left through the phase teleportation core. Everyone was decisive, unlike the tedious and sentimental scenes in Chinese TV dramas.

"Get out of here! Get out of here!"

"I won't leave; I'll die with you!"

"Get out of here! That's an order, you bastard! Waaaaah~~~"

"I'm not leaving~~" (crying)
Villain, hehehe, are you two putting on an act with me? Instead of talking, why don't you hurry up and run away? Are you worried that my sword is too slow to swing?
……

A cold glint flashed as the power sword, carrying a burst of damage, struck the Thunder Beast on the forehead.

The damage is still substantial, since it completely ignores armor.

But the Thunder Beast was also angered by my action. With a roar, it lowered its body and slammed the lightning horn on its forehead into the Dragon Barrier!

"50021!"

Even though the defense was successful, it still took away 5 of my health points. This is a complete power overwhelm!

"Ding Han!"

In the distance, a gun, gleaming like a dragon, hurtled towards them with lightning speed: "What happened to the Fearless One?"

"The power system has been paralyzed by the Thunder Beast's skill and is repairing itself. Hold it off for me for a while!"

"it is good!"

In an instant, the power gun and power sword simultaneously struck the Thunder Beast's massive body, but the overall damage was still too low, no different from a tickle.

"Ho~~~"

The Thunder Beast roared, its massive body nimbly turning around, its two scythes slashing left and right, directly striking its body, which moved like a dragon with its spear!
"142884!"

"129732!"

Guess what? He was instantly killed!

"Nima..."

Startled, Yu Shi Wu Zheng turned around hastily and barely dodged the falling scythe with a stepping slash!

From the star map came the sound of gunfire as sharp as a dragon: "Be careful, the Thunder Beast's physical attacks are infused with psionic lightning, which can cause a lot of extra damage. It actually killed me instantly!"

The star map was in complete chaos. Everyone was shocked. Even a powerful weapon like the Thunder Beast could be instantly killed. Just how incredible must the Thunder Beast's attributes be?
The Thunder Beast relentlessly swung its scythes in a barrage of attacks, like planting rice seedlings, while I and Yu Shi Wu Zheng were like two "ants," constantly using our movement skills to evade it!
"Pong!"

The Thunder Beast unleashed another thunderstorm, instantly reducing my health bar to below 40%, which was extremely fatal!
"Aki, are you fucking okay? Why hasn't the Fearless recovered yet?"

"Come on, come on..."

Inside the mecha, Aki was also in a complete panic.

"Time to use Invincibility!"

Not far away, the Uncontested One had already been defeated and become invincible, and I was also unable to block it. No matter how skillful I was in my movements, I could not completely block the Thunder Beast's dense physical attacks, so I also activated my Invincible Burst Technique!

Three tender, glistening gourd leaves appeared around her, transforming into a protective shield that continuously enveloped her. "Emma..."

Unconcerned with worldly affairs, he couldn't help but laugh: "Your explosive energy technique is pretty cool!"

Lao Yu, are you mocking me, you bastard?

The next second, the peaceful creature was punished. A scythe from the Thunder Beast pierced its abdomen, then it was flung high into the air, swallowed whole, and transformed into a golden light as it flew back to the City of Kings to be resurrected.

His death was rather gruesome.

"It's done!"

Behind them, the signal lights of the fearless finally lit up.

As a mech, its energy level is definitely higher than that of a player, which immediately attracted the attention of the Thunder Beast.

"Quick, let me hold it off!"

In an instant, Rising Dragon Slash + Chilling Star + Bursting Charge + Dragon Binding Rope were all activated at the same time, and unsurprisingly, they all missed!

Next, invade the dream!
As a result, the Thunder Beast simply twisted its body, and a sleeping pattern (zzzZZ) appeared above its head.

I also entered a dream and saw a writhing giant worm, which was the Star Cave Insect Mother, and also the mother of this Thunder Beast.

"Ouch~~~"

The Thunder Beast transformed into a short-legged black puppy, rubbing against the Star Cave Insect Mother.

Hey bro, you're a Thunder Beast, have some shame! You can't possibly be that cute!

The Thunder Beast ignored everything and remained immersed in its childhood dreams.

"Boss, I'm leaving. Good luck to you!"

Outside, Aki's voice came. The Fearless One spewed blue flames and flew several kilometers away in an instant. Then, its feet transformed into roller skates, and it sped into the wilderness.

It has to be said that Aki is quite adept at running away.

The system has started counting down; the dream is about to end.

The effectiveness of invading a dream depends on the target. The Thunder Beast's energy level was too high, so it only hypnotized the target for less than a minute. As for trash like Zhan Chen, it could easily invade his dream for a whole night!

The moment it awoke, the Thunder Beast roared and thrashed its head wildly towards him.

Leave!

Activate your burst attack – Subspace Blink!

My body suddenly disappeared from the Thunder Beast's sight, traversing subspace. Just as the Thunder Beast drew its sword and looked around in confusion, I emerged from the ground a thousand meters away, took out a phase teleportation core, and crushed it!
"Shh!"

Its body appeared at another coordinate on the local map, about a 20-minute motorcycle ride from the City of Kings.

……

"Ding Han, how are you?" Ruolin asked in the team.

"Escape successful!"

"That's good……"

Aki grinned and said, "When I left, I thought the boss was going to drop a Resurrection Scripture."

"Isn't it all your fault?"

"I was wrong, I'm sorry!"

Just then, the sound of a spear thrusting like a dragon echoed from within the star map:

"Brothers, assemble in King's City! The Thunder Beast is leading its swarm towards King's City. If I'm not mistaken, their target is King's City. We must defend our base no matter what!"

……

The Thunder Beast is most likely the leader of this colossal insect hive, and it has long regarded itself as the master of the wilderness.

The Zerg swarm's survival instinct is simple: to invade, reproduce, and expand. The nearby King's City has the highest energy level, given that it has a medium-sized phase teleportation array and a refinery. Naturally, the Zerg swarm will prioritize attacking the King's City. After leveling the King's City, their next target will most likely be Creek City, followed by Huaining City.

Players in Huaining City have to fight tooth and nail, because everything we care about in this world is there.

Therefore, all players in Huaining City are currently reinforcing the City of Kings!
The city of kings is equipped with heavy weapons such as the Dragon Cannon. Players are responsible for restraining the beasts while the heavy cannons attack, which may pose a certain threat to the Thunder Beasts. Otherwise, the Thunder Beasts might really be able to sweep through the wilderness.

Twenty minutes later, we arrived at the east side of the City of Kings.

Just as I reached the top of the city wall, a bell rang in my ear—

[Please note that the main quest "Emerald Lake, Crisis Approaches!" (SSS Rank) has entered its second phase, "Defend the King's City." Please ensure the King's City is successfully defended, otherwise the quest rewards will be significantly reduced!]

……

This is the second phase; the next phase is the defense of the city.

"Ding Han!"

Ruolin and Caicai walked side by side.

"Have the bugs arrived yet?" I asked.

"We're about 3 kilometers away, almost there."

"Let's go, let's go take advantage of the terrain and gain more experience!"

"Ok!"

Inside the city, Kou Mei, Bing Zi, and others also gathered. Aki had already piloted the Fearless and stood on the city wall, looking like a humanoid turret from a distance.

In the distance, the swarm of insects approached in a dark mass, and deep within the swarm, a colossal figure stood tall, constantly flashing with dark lightning—it was indeed that incomparably ferocious eighth-tier thunder beast!

Just then, a roar came from the sky. Transport planes hovered above the City of Kings. The doors opened, and figures of power armor warriors leaped down from the sky. As they approached the ground, their jump backpacks spewed blue flames to propel them to a smooth landing.

At the forefront, a fifth-generation armored warrior walked over, his hood rising to reveal Su Wei's beautiful face.

She finally arrived, and this time she wasn't late; she arrived just in time for the second phase of the battle.
