Chapter 711 - 216: [Collapsed]
When Chen Yan took his twentieth step, the fiercely beast race warrior in front, who was taller than him, had already been hit by an arrow and collapsed to the ground.
Right under Chen Yan’s eyelids, this warrior, a head taller than him, had an arrow lodged at the junction of his neck and shoulder. The arrow had penetrated about a third of the way in, judging by its length, it must have pierced into his chest cavity.
This unlucky and pitiful fellow lay on the ground unable to die at once, only gushing blood out from his mouth and nose, still struggling for breath.
Without hesitation, Chen Yan lunged to the ground, grabbed this guy, hoisted him onto his shoulders, lifted him above his head, and continued sprinting forward...
At first, Chen Yan’s action did not draw much attention on the chaotic battlefield; however, a few of the fiercely beast race nearby, upon seeing Chen Yan’s move, suddenly got inspired!
Soon, a second fiercely beast warrior appeared, lifting his dead comrade from the ground and holding him above his head as a shield.
Then the third, and the fourth...
This savage and brutal race had no psychological barrier in doing such a thing.
Chen Yan even saw a tall figure, almost reaching the "elite" standard, gripping a comrade in each hand, using them as shields above his head—the key point being that one of the comrades he grabbed hadn’t even died yet!
From the direction of the fiercely beast race’s camp, their ballistas continued to roar, launching bolts.
Strange foul-smelling bolts carved from the Evil Spirit Tree trunk flew toward Snow Cliff Pass, the golden sky barrier being riddled with holes!
Chen Yan ran like mad, hearing several puffs above his head, with the shield in his hands getting pierced by several more arrows.
However, when he finally dashed across the golden sky barrier’s line of demarcation...
He happened to enter a section where the golden light of the sky barrier had melted into an opening more than ten meters wide. As Chen Yan dove in, he rolled to the ground, throwing the corpse that now resembled a porcupine hard to the side!
But Chen Yan was also gratified, sensing the feeling he was most familiar with!
Primordial Qi!
Rich Primordial Qi!
As abundant as within the Snow Cliff Pass, rich Primordial Qi!
Sure enough, behind the golden sky barrier of the city defense Array, the Qi in this area was rich and normal!
This place was less than a hundred meters away from Snow Cliff Pass, and quite a few fiercely beast race cannon fodder managed to charge in. After all, from four thousand madly charging cannon fodder, the dense rain of arrows could hardly kill them all.
According to Chen Yan’s observation, half of the cannon fodder at least would survive the charge across the golden sky barrier.
However, to have been driven into the shattered remnants of the sky barrier was perhaps not the good fortune these cannon fodder imagined!
Because, behind the golden sky barrier, the gates of Snow Cliff Pass stood wide open!
In fully armed formation, covered in armor, stood lines of defenders ready beneath the gates!
Their spears held in uniform precision, shimmering with the light of spells!
With a buzz, the spears of the first row of armored defenders erupted in a burst of silver light, streaking across like meteors...
The robust bodies of the fiercely beast race, under the silver light, were like paper, immediately pierced through, not even a scream escaped as they crumpled to the ground!
Some fiercely beast warriors, driven by their wild nature, charged in groups, howling, only to fall in the face of the silver flashes. Yet some slipped through, reaching the defenders’ formation ahead, roaring as they leaped toward the defenders, attempting to pry open the formation with their bodies and brute strength.
But swiftly, the leaping bodies were severed midair by a passing Flying Sword, transforming into a shower of blood and flesh scattered across the sky!
In the Qi-rich area, the mana-wielding defenders slaughtered the fiercely beast race as though they were mere chickens!
Four thousand cannon fodder, wiped out completely in less than half an hour!
Their purpose was merely to deplete the Mana and Primordial Qi of the Snow Cliff Pass defenders!
And no one noticed, amidst the carnage and bodies strewn everywhere, one slightly frail-looking fiercely beast race body had vanished without a trace.

"Damn it, almost got killed by my own side."
Chen Yan emerged from beneath a snowbank, having run several hundred meters from the mountain ridge of Snow Cliff Pass to the left.
He had transformed into a mouse, sprinting through the snow until he had gone several hundred meters, then dove into a snow nest...
When he popped out his head, Chen Yan had already reverted to his human form!
This spot, though not too far from the battlefield, was safe enough.
Chen Yan quickly retrieved a short-handled engineering shovel from his Storage Jade Pendant, rapidly dug a pit in the snow that barely fit him, then lay within, hurriedly covering himself in snow, leaving only his upper shoulders exposed.
Putting away the engineering shovel, he took out another item from his Storage Jade Pendant.
An electronic device, the size of a brick, he fiddled with in his hands a bit to confirm the distance and signal were intact...
Then...
He decisively pressed a button...
"Big White! I’m counting on you, don’t let me down with your spirit communication!"
·
On the battlefield, the real fierce battle was just beginning!
After the four thousand cannon fodder were wiped out, the true main forces of the fiercely beast race began to move in!
