Zuo Feng gazed into the distance, his eyes solemn.
The battle had lasted a total of two hours, with continuous cannon fire, smoke filling the air, and deafening roars.
Moreover, everyone could clearly feel that the number of Undead that had broken through the 300-meter defense line was increasing; it wasn't that the artillery fire had weakened, but that more and more high-tier Undead were appearing, their hides tough and thick, making ordinary attacks ineffective.
Zuo Feng secretly calculated that there were still nearly 50,000 Undead in the distant horde, and if they all pressed forward, the defense line would inevitably collapse.
He had to cut the Undead horde in half again! He immediately said to Little Maid:
"Little Maid, go to Da Mi Tao and get another chi re crystal, then cut the Undead horde in half again!"
Little Maid took the order and went to Da Mi Tao to retrieve a chi re crystal, then spread her wings, transforming into a streak of light, and shot straight into the sky. Above the Undead horde, she suddenly threw the chi re crystal at a densely packed central point of the horde.
Instantly, a dark sea of fire surged up, black flames soared, and the center of the Undead horde erupted like a volcano. Countless Undead turned to ash in the black flames, their roars incessant, and the Undead horde was forced to split into two, with the Undead in front rushing into the battlefield and those behind blocked outside the sea of fire.
Seeing this, Zuo Feng's heart ached and he trembled. They only had eight chi re crystals in total, and two had been consumed in this battle. Those were treasures that could burn a Seven-Bar Zombie to death! Treasures that could save lives at critical moments...
But there was nothing he could do now; they had to win this battle first.
Soon, this batch of over 20,000 Undead rapidly surged into the battlefield, and the artillery bombardment became even fiercer. The Firefly girls quickly entered the fray.
Da Mi Tao's pupils flashed with golden light, and a level six arrow shot through the air, accurately piercing a Six Horizontal Bars. The arrow, imbued with Guang Zhi Yao Wu (Light Dance), erupted with dazzling golden light the moment it entered the Undead's head, causing the entire head to instantly explode;
This was Da Mi Tao's second skill, named "Guang Zhi Fen Sui (Light Shatter)," which compressed light elements to their limit and released them the moment the arrow pierced, with astonishing power.
Fortunately, with the blessing of a level six longbow, and since level six arrows were already sufficient to break through the defense of a Six Horizontal Bars, there was no need to use a-grade metal weapons.
Looking at Xiao She Jing again, her actions made Zuo Feng's eyelids twitch.
He saw Long Xu Needles flying densely in Xiao She Jing's palm, one Long Xu Needle turning into a silver stream of light, accurately piercing the Undead's eye, instantly penetrating its skull. The lightning power infused within the Long Xu Needle erupted, silver electric arcs overflowed, and the Undead's entire body convulsed, but the power was clearly not enough to completely kill a Six Horizontal Bars.
Xiao She Jing's heroic sword-like brows slightly raised, clearly dissatisfied with her attack power.
Immediately, dozens of Long Xu Needles shot out simultaneously, instantly forming a silver storm, electric arcs intertwining, all plunging into the Six Horizontal Bars' eyes. The Undead let out a mournful roar, its entire body trembling violently, and finally, under the furious impact of the silver electric arcs, it crashed to the ground, its head a charred mass.
Zuo Feng watched, rubbing his forehead with a long sigh: "What a spendthrift woman..."
Although level six Long Xu Needles were not as valuable as Long Xu Needles made of a-grade metal, they were still worth a lot! Valued at one four-line loss crystal.
Especially this girl, Xiao She Jing, who had previously custom-ordered 999 of them at Sunshine Base. Even with ample stock, she shouldn't be wasting them like this!
If Zuo Feng didn't have a 'mine,' he really couldn't tolerate her extravagance.
"Da Mi Tao is also a spendthrift woman."
Zuo Feng muttered to himself, that level six arrow of hers was worth one five-line loss crystal!
When these two women fought, if they went all out, it was simply burning money.
Zuo Feng shook his head helplessly. The girls were all the apple of his eye, so he could only let them spend; anyway, he had a "mine."
Xiao Lingxian, on the other hand, was terrifyingly powerful. A flying sword made of a-grade metal drew a dazzling arc in the air, precisely cutting the Undead's cervical spine. Sword qi surged, instantly severing the head of a Six Horizontal Bars.
The sword qi spread, instantly cutting half the body of a nearby five-bar Undead, and a blood mist filled the air.
Zuo Feng was left speechless, amazed. She was strong, terrifyingly strong!
Xiao Mi Tao, Little Maid, Xiao Nv Pu, and Xiao Chu Niang all displayed their unique abilities, each killing a Six Horizontal Bars.
The battle continued for half an hour, and over 20,000 Undead were annihilated and routed, their corpses strewn across the field, and the air was filled with a strong, foul stench.
The battle of the girls also deeply shocked the Mutants present; no one could have imagined that these seemingly delicate women possessed such terrifying combat power.
They were all beings capable of killing a Six Horizontal Bars!
Zuo Feng shook his head slightly, these girls were really going all out, holding nothing back; they wouldn't stop until they killed a Six Horizontal Bars.
Looking at himself, Zuo Feng wanted to cry. Although he had broken through the defense of a Six Vertical Bar Level with his gauntlets and grabbed its cervical spine,
the reality was too cruel. He couldn't tear off the Undead's spine and was currently being dragged across the battlefield by the injured and enraged Undead.
It wasn't that Zuo Feng wasn't strong. Speaking of this, Zuo Feng felt depressed. When he subdued Huo Er, Zuo Feng obtained his fifth skill.
He had originally been full of anticipation, thinking he would inherit Huo Er's attack skills like fireballs or fire pillars, but it turned out to be the black flame-shrouded membrane attached to Huo Er's skin—another defensive skill.
Currently, Zuo Feng had five skills:
The first was Kong Ling's Space Shield—a defensive skill.
The second was Tiegada's Metallic Skin—a defensive skill.
The third was Ying'er's Self-Healing—a passive sustain skill.
The fourth was Huo Er's Black Fire Membrane—still a defensive skill.
The fifth skill, Sheng Sheng Bu Xi (Life Without End), acquired after consuming xiao songta (little pine cone), would be considered an offensive passive if used with offensive skills, but since Zuo Feng only had defensive skills, it remained—a passive sustain skill.
Was Zuo Feng not strong? No! The current Zuo Feng was terrifyingly strong. With just the second-tier Metallic Skin combined with the second-tier Black Fire Membrane, he could withstand the attacks of a Six Horizontal Bars without a scratch.
As for the Space Shield? The second-tier Space Shield was currently being used by Zuo Feng as a skateboard beneath him.
A comical scene appeared on the entire battlefield: Zuo Feng, holding onto the Undead's cervical spine, with the Space Shield beneath him, sped through the piles of corpses like a skateboard—being dragged by a Six Horizontal Bars.
The Firefly girls were doubled over with laughter, and the other Mutants were dumbfounded. It looked like he was sitting on a sled, and the one pulling the sled was a Six Horizontal Bars!
Lu Zhuoyan's mouth twitched slightly as he watched, and he could only helplessly comment: "Skilled and daring, he really knows how to have fun!"
Was Zuo Feng playing? Of course not, he genuinely wanted to destroy this Six Horizontal Bars, but he truly couldn't tear off the Undead's cervical spine, nor could he smash it with his a-grade metal gauntlets... The tough bones left him helpless.
After a stalemate of nearly five minutes, Da Mi Tao couldn't stand it anymore and ordered Ying Xingxing to act. Ying Xingxing's figure flashed, transforming into a white shadow, and her sharp wings sliced across the Undead's neck, instantly severing the Six Horizontal Bars' spine.
With a crisp sound, the Undead's head snapped off. Ying Xingxing's speed was faster than the eye could follow. The moment the Undead fell, Zuo Feng thought he had finally succeeded, but then he saw Ying Xingxing flapping her wings, proudly circling in front of him, as if saying: "See, it still takes me to do it."
