Chapter 106: Violet-Gold Berserk Ape
“Boom……”
When facing the assault of the beast tide, a Gale Wolf relied on its speed and agility to break through the defensive line and reach Lion King and the others.
Gunfire like thunder erupted, and the calf-sized Gale Wolf was sent flying into the air, directly killed by Zhou Ming with a single shot.
“Ten Thousand Snakes, impressive.”
After witnessing Zhou Ming use the Thunder Type-2 Revolver with her own eyes, Flower Scorpion immediately praised him.
Handsome and filled with violent beauty, Flower Scorpion—who resembled a King Kong Barbie—looked at Zhou Ming with her eyes practically glowing.
“Yes. I had long heard of the Thunder Type-2 Revolver’s power, but nothing compares to seeing it with my own eyes.”
As everyone controlled their own beasts to resist the beast tide, they were exceptionally astonished by Zhou Ming’s performance.
When Lion King saw Zhou Ming step in to save him, he also felt fortunate that he had brought him along.
As for the other Beast Tamers around them, their gazes were likewise drawn toward Zhou Ming.
Although the power of firearms was limited, and even becoming a Gunfighter could not compare to a professional Beast Tamer, it was something an Apprentice Beast Tamer absolutely could not ignore.
Whether it was low-tier beasts or expensive combat suits, in front of the Thunder Type-2 Revolver, it all amounted to nothing more than a single shot.
“Everyone flatters me too much. We should still focus on dealing with the beast tide in front of us with all our strength.”
With so many eyes around, Zhou Ming could only rely on the firearm in his hand, aside from being able to use Inkband.
However, the recoil of the Thunder Type-2 Revolver was too strong, and he was still unable to use it freely. He could only place his hopes on Lion King and the others.
The Thunder Type-2 Revolver was to be treated as the final fallback measure.
As for whether he would draw attention, Zhou Ming did not take it to heart. Beast Tamers were the true protagonists of the Blue Star Alliance.
Relying on firearms would ultimately not take one far, so there was no need to worry about attracting covetous gazes.
“Ten Thousand Snakes, don’t worry. With me here, I guarantee your absolute safety.”
“Flower Scorpion, you’re being so attentive—don’t tell me you’ve taken a liking to Ten Thousand Snakes?”
Mole, the weakest among them, immediately teased Flower Scorpion after hearing that.
“You little chick, what are you being jealous for?”
“Haha……”
Hearing Flower Scorpion ridicule Mole, the others immediately burst into inexplicable laughter.
Although they had not known each other for long, no one had expected Mole, this thin and scrawny middle-aged man, to develop interest in Flower Scorpion, this King Kong Barbie.
They were not children, so it was naturally obvious to everyone.
As for Flower Scorpion’s attitude toward Mole’s thoughts, she showed nothing but disdain, treating him like a little chick—completely the demeanor of a tough woman.
“Alright, the Ferocious Beasts are attacking again.”
Earlier, Zhou Ming’s use of the Thunder Type-2 Revolver had frightened the surrounding low-tier Ferocious Beasts into retreat, but under the influence of the beast tide, they launched another assault once more.
Seeing this, Lion King immediately reminded everyone.
Flower Scorpion and the others also understood the situation. Just now, they had merely taken the opportunity to briefly relax their taut nerves.
Seeing Ferocious Beasts attack again, they once more controlled their own beasts to continue breaking through.
Lion King’s Violent Lion was the strongest, mainly responsible for frontal combat. Flower Scorpion’s Jade Scorpion had solid defense and mainly cooperated with Lion King.
Meanwhile, Doghead’s Ironfang Hound relied on its agile speed to provide support, while Mole’s Wind-listening Rat used its powerful perception to observe the surroundings.
As for Zhou Ming’s Inkband, it continued to take on a supporting role as the hidden sixth.
Besides their beasts fighting with all their strength, the five of them were not idle either, each using firearms to attack the Ferocious Beasts before them.
Even if they could not kill the Ferocious Beasts, they could still provide fire support for their own beasts.
They could even rely on their firearms to deal with certain Ferocious Beasts with weaker defenses.
After all, having come to the Wilderness, most of the firearms and ammunition they carried were specifically designed to deal with Ferocious Beasts.
Ordinary people were not qualified to use them. Only Beast Tamers like them, who had received feedback from their beasts and undergone long-term training, could wield such powerful firearms.
Although the Ferocious Beast tide was terrifying, humans were not to be trifled with either.
After the Azure Moon Wolf King was restrained by Xu Chunjun, the threat of the beast tide was greatly reduced. After all, this time it was an assembly of elites from all northern factions.
Moreover, near the Dimensional Rift, the military—already well-prepared—was directly confronting the beast tide head-on.
Therefore, the threat Zhou Ming and the others faced was not particularly great. Instead, they blended into the crowd and slowly broke through the encirclement of the beast tide.
One hour later, after humans suffered one-third casualties, they finally broke through the encirclement of the beast tide.
At this moment, almost everyone was extremely exhausted, and many even carried various injuries on their bodies.
Even so, no one dared to linger. The leaders of each faction, their faces grim, organized their own subordinates to regroup and began heading toward Alliance-controlled territory.
This time, everyone was looking out only for themselves. Whether they could survive depended entirely on their own abilities.
However, just as everyone was preparing to retreat, the Dimensional Rift underwent another sudden change.
Along with a furious roar that pierced the clouds, yet another lord-level Ferocious Beast emerged from the Dimensional Rift.
The Violet-Gold Berserk Ape stood around eight meters tall, its body covered in violet-gold fur, muscles coiled like dragons, its aura as imposing as a mountain.
With a single roar, an extremely oppressive presence spread across several kilometers, instantly giving rise to fear in everyone’s hearts.
Within the military camp, when the detectors discovered the appearance of the Violet-Gold Berserk Ape, panic immediately broke out.
“Quick, stop the Violet-Gold Berserk Ape from supporting the Azure Moon Wolf King. Lieutenant General Xu must not suffer any mishap.”
At present, within the Blue Star Alliance, aside from several Legendary Saints, there were only slightly over a hundred living Transcendent Masters.
Xu Chunjun, as a military Transcendent Master holding the rank of lieutenant general, represented an issue of enormous importance if anything were to happen to him.
Even if all the troops near the Dimensional Rift were wiped out, they had to ensure Xu Chunjun’s absolute safety.
Otherwise, even if they all died, the forces behind them would also be implicated.
Therefore, the various field-grade officers within the camp immediately issued a series of orders.
“All airships take off. Deploy all firepower for saturation bombardment.”
“The Griffin Knight Regiment, move out. Give full support to Lieutenant General Xu.”
“The missile battalion, prepare Skystrike Type-3 hypersonic missiles. You must drive the Violet-Gold Berserk Ape back into the Dimensional Rift.”
When facing the lord-level Ferocious Beast Violet-Gold Berserk Ape, the numerous field-grade officers had a clear understanding of their limits. With the camp’s current strength, killing the Violet-Gold Berserk Ape was impossible.
Just as the military responded to the sudden appearance of the Violet-Gold Berserk Ape, the various factions that had just escaped the encirclement of the beast tide sensed the terrifying aura coming from the Dimensional Rift and immediately ordered their subordinates to flee the Northern Wasteland at full speed.
As for Zhou Ming and the others, they did not even have time to rest and desperately fled toward Alliance territory.
In the face of a battle between a Transcendent Master and a lord-level Ferocious Beast, Apprentice Beast Tamers were no different from ordinary people.
For a time, above the Dimensional Rift, the roar of artillery shook the sky.
Airships equipped with energy shields continuously fired shells at the Violet-Gold Berserk Ape, while Skystrike Type-3 hypersonic missiles rapidly launched from the camp.
However, the Violet-Gold Berserk Ape, famed for its strength and physique, revealed a violent, bloodthirsty gleam in its eyes.
After a furious roar, it threw out a single punch.
Invisible air rippled with visible waves, the atmosphere compressed directly into steel-like shells, and airship missiles detonated one after another midair.
This was the power of a lord-level Ferocious Beast.
