Chapter 310: Chapter 288: Beast King: Underestimate Me? Lu Feng: Have a Truckload of Needles

A blanket bombardment is when countless artillery shells are fired simultaneously or in rapid succession, completely covering an area and leaving no spot untouched.

The Beast King looked up at the dense barrage of shells, his eyes widening in horror.

’Damn it, it’s an ambush.’

’They actually discovered me.’

’But how did they find me? And how did they happen to be waiting here right when I made my move?’

’I was so stealthy, and I waited so patiently for so long.’

It wasn’t just the Beast King; the members of the Beastman Race who followed him, the ones who could control the Mutated Beast Kings, also had faces full of terror.

"Run! Get clear!" the Beast King roared frantically.

In the next moment, the dense barrage of shells landed all around them.

BOOM!

BOOM!~

...

A terrifying series of explosions rang out one after another.

Immediately after, terrifying torrents of flame erupted and spread in all directions, merging into a horrifying sea of fire.

Within this sea of fire, shrill beastly roars echoed, soon turning to cries of agony.

The Mutant Beasts were first engulfed by flames, then blasted into the air, rolling on the ground. Some were on the brink of death, while others had already perished.

But then, another volley of artillery fire rained down, once again blanketing the area.

The dying Mutant Beasts had no way to escape and were killed instantly this time.

Handguns and rifles might not be effective against these Mutant Beasts, but this kind of high-powered blanket bombardment could definitely inflict fatal damage.

"Damn it!" the Beast King’s furious voice roared.

He was seen charging out of the bombardment zone, riding his Mutated Giant Lion King.

The fur of the Mutated Giant Lion King was scorched black, but it clearly hadn’t sustained any life-threatening injuries.

He rode the Mutated Giant Lion King and charged straight toward the source of the artillery fire.

Following closely behind him, several other figures riding Mutated Beast Kings also broke through, trailing in his wake.

These were all members of the Beastman Race who could control Mutated Beast Kings.

Behind them, a few scattered Mutant Beasts also managed to escape the bombardment zone.

But the expressions on the faces of the Beast King and his followers were grim to the extreme.

They had gathered over 200 Mutant Beasts for this attack, but now, besides themselves, only a dozen or so had survived, and several of those were wounded.

This was an absolutely devastating loss.

"Damn it, how did they know we were coming? And how did they set up an ambush in advance?" a Beastman shouted, gritting his teeth.

"I don’t care how they knew. We have to kill them," another Beastman said sinisterly.

"Follow me and kill them!" the Beast King yelled viciously, accelerating toward Lu Feng’s position.

Lu Feng naturally saw this and immediately gave orders to Lin Jiao, Wang Cheng, and the others: "Prepare for battle!"

Before, they had the advantage of an ambush, with their cannons pre-aimed and the Beast King’s path calculated in advance, which allowed for the precise bombardment.

But now, there was no time to readjust the cannons. By the time they did, the Beast King and his group would be long gone, given their speed.

Lin Jiao and Wang Cheng nodded.

"Get ready! Engage the enemy!" Lin Jiao shouted.

"Engage!" Guo Zhen echoed.

The ability users from Qingfeng Base, led by Xu Bin, also rushed out one by one, preparing to face the enemy.

Zheng Lin also emerged, leading the ability users who had surrendered from the Li Family. With a flick of his palm, flames coalesced and danced.

These ability users from the Li Family weren’t core members but affiliates. They had originally followed Li Kai to kill Lu Feng, but after surrendering, they had pulse-cleavage chips implanted in their brains, just like Zheng Lin. They had no choice but to obey.

At Lu Feng’s feet, a small figure was summoned—it was his pet, Jinwen.

Soon, the Beast King, along with a few Beastmen and the dozen or so remaining Mutant Beasts, charged up to them.

Wang Cheng, clad in his weaponized Mecha, was the first to charge out, heading straight for a Beastman riding a Mutated Beast King.

"You’re courting death," the Beastman snorted coldly, urging his Mutated Beast King to charge at Wang Cheng. It slammed into Wang Cheng with incredible speed.

Wang Cheng didn’t dodge. The violent impact made him grunt, but he simultaneously grappled the Mutated Beast King with all his might, holding it in a tight embrace.

He had faced a Mutated Beast King before and knew how terrifying they were. His only option was to trade an injury for a kill, to take his opponent down.

Seeing Wang Cheng desperately clinging to his Mutated Beast, the Beastman on its back angrily raised his arm and brought it crashing down on Wang Cheng.

But before his fist could land, his eyes widened in horror. He stared at the laser emitters that had extended from Wang Cheng’s weaponized Mecha, and the two laser cannons that had emerged from its shoulders.

’At such a close range...’

"No—" the Beastman roared in panic.

The next instant, lasers fired wildly and laser cannons blasted, creating an intersecting web of light that engulfed everything in front of Wang Cheng.

The Mutated Beast King shrieked and collapsed, while the Beastman was blown away by the impact, a hole blasted straight through his chest. He slammed hard onto the ground.

This volley instantly consumed 50% of the Mecha’s energy, but for killing a Mutated Beast King and a Beastman in one go, that energy cost was nothing.

Wang Cheng had eliminated a Beastman and a Mutated Beast King in a single clash, stunning the other Beastmen.

Moreover, two Mutant Beasts suddenly roared and turned to flee.

These two Mutant Beasts had been under the control of the slain Mutated Beast King. With their master dead, they were scared out of their wits and naturally weren’t going to stick around.

But before the two Mutant Beasts could get far, a small figure darted between them. A moment later, both Mutant Beasts collapsed with a mournful cry.

A small leopard appeared beside the two Mutant Beast corpses. It was Lu Feng’s pet, Jinwen.

On the Qingfeng Base side, inspired by Wang Cheng’s victory, their morale surged. They charged forward to surround the remaining Beastmen.

Even though the enemy still had Mutated Beast Kings, the humans now had the advantage in numbers.

Wang Cheng, for his part, charged directly at another Beastman.

This time, the Beastman gave him no chance, immediately ordering the Mutated Beast beneath him to attack, determined not to make his comrade’s mistake.

But just as he and the Mutated Beast King charged out, an energy barrier suddenly materialized around them, trapping them.

He and the Mutated Beast King slammed right into the energy barrier and were actually knocked back by the recoil.

"Damn it, what’s going on?" the Beastman exclaimed in shock.

Seeing this, Wang Cheng seized the opportunity and lunged forward. He passed straight through the energy barrier Lu Feng had created and viciously grappled the Mutated Beast King trapped inside.

This was, of course, something Lu Feng had specifically controlled.

Once again, lasers fired wildly. Amid the pained cries of the Mutated Beast King and the indignant death rattle of the Beastman, Wang Cheng eliminated another powerful foe.

"Unlocked Tier 2 Ability," the Beast King said, suddenly looking at Lu Feng with shock in his eyes.

Even the remaining three Beastmen stared at Lu Feng in astonishment.

They knew exactly what an Unlocked Tier 2 Ability meant.

It meant an expert on the same level as the Beast King himself.

’The East Suburb Fortress actually has an expert with an Unlocked Tier 2 Ability?’

’Are you kidding me?’

’With that kind of power, why would he be a mere Guard Officer? He could even contend with the Flame Emperor!’

"You must die," the Beast King roared, his eyes locked on Lu Feng. He spurred his Mutated Giant Lion King forward in a charge.

He knew very well that humanity already had a Flame Emperor. If this man joined forces with the Flame Emperor, the threat would be immense.

’He has to die.’

’I will absolutely not allow a situation where those two could team up against me.’

But as Lu Feng watched the Beast King charge toward him, he pulled a box from his backpack space. It was filled with syringes.

The Beast King was stunned by this. He didn’t understand how a box could suddenly appear in the man’s hands, but what could a box do?

Then, the killing intent on his face intensified. ’No matter what, he must die.’
