Devouring the Stars: The Lord of the Sky

Chapter 36 The Ambush by the Beasts

Amidst the roar of artillery fire, seven fully armed figures leaped down from the walls of the war base, forcibly carving a bloody path through the beast tide and heading northeast.

The command did not arrange for fighter jets to pick them up. The distance of more than seventy miles was a very short distance for the God of War, and the decapitation squad was sent to the destination on its own.

According to the satellite map provided by the combat watch, the group of seven arrived at the top of a not-so-tall, desolate mountain in just a few minutes.

Looking down at the dense forest and the many monsters surrounding it, Jiang Long, the leader of the decapitation squad, waved his right hand, and everyone stopped in their tracks.

Then, Jiang Long looked at Lu Jin and made a gesture.

With a slight nod, Lu Jin's mental energy radiated out, sweeping across the valley and dense forest below.

Although the maximum attack range of his throwing knives is not far, his perception range is quite large.

Moreover, the monsters basically don't know how to conceal their aura, so it's not a problem to simply scout out the strength of the monsters gathered in the valley and dense forest.

Soon, Lu Jin frowned.

As expected, due to the dense forest, the number and strength of the lord-level monsters gathered in the valley far exceeded what the satellite detected.

Jiang Long asked in a low voice, "How is the situation?"

"Besides that Silver Moon Wolf, there is one high-level lord, five mid-level lords, and sixteen low-level lords."

And as the command had anticipated, the Silver Moon Wolf was indeed cunning.

The ground beneath the dense forest has been largely hollowed out, revealing a large number of beast-general-level rodent monsters, and even more than thirty lord-level monsters, their exact strength unknown.

Lu Jin said in a deep voice.

Due to the barrier of the earth and the distance, Lu Jin was unable to clearly perceive the specific strength of the many lord monsters lurking underground.

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious.

It should be noted that, unless one is a genius with exceptional comprehension, monsters are generally slightly stronger than martial artists of the same level.

With over fifty lord-level monsters and a large number of beast general-level monsters, on paper alone, they undoubtedly far surpass the decapitation squad.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Long looked at Lu Jin and said, "Everyone has the 9-series combat suit and the Black God set. Even high-level lord monsters cannot pose a fatal threat to us in a short time."

Lu Jin, your psychic power amplification is six times stronger. Charge down and launch a sneak attack.

By taking them by surprise, you can often kill a high-level lord directly.

The six of us are a step behind. Regardless of whether your sneak attack succeeds or not, all the high-ranking lords present will be kept in check by us.

You, on the other hand, should hunt down the low- and mid-level lords as quickly as possible. If everyone can hold out for a while, the battle can be turned from a disadvantage to an advantage.

As for the large number of rat-like monsters at the level of beast generals?

Everyone, including Lu Jin, ignored it.

With the 9-series combat suit on the outside and the Black God Suit on the inside that can reduce attacks by 9% and provide all-around protection, the decapitation squad can ignore the attacks of Beast General-level monsters.

"That's it!"

As soon as Jiang Long finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement.

After deciding on the tactics, Lu Jin had a thought, and his mental power surged out. The Sky Shuttle flew from the backpack formed by the Black God Suit on his back to his front.

The next moment, Lu Jin stepped onto the Sky Shuttle and flew towards the dense forest in the valley below at several times the speed of sound.

The valley wasn't large; in less than two seconds, Lu Jin, riding the Sky-Piercing Shuttle, flew above a high-level lord-level monster, the Golden Ape.

'Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—' Before the sonic boom generated by the high-speed flight could reach the ears of the lord monsters, six silver-gray blades flew out, gathered in mid-air into a sharp cone, and shot towards the King Kong Ape below.

Lu Jin didn't master the Heavenly Escape Technique, but that didn't stop him from learning from and imitating it, gathering the six blades into a single point for an attack.

There are two high-ranking lords on the land within the dense forest.

One was the initiator of this first-level beast tide, the Silver Moon Wolf, a peak-level high-lord, and the other was the Vajra Ape he was targeting.

Lu Jin was absolutely confident he could kill the Vajra Explosive Ape in a sneak attack, but as for the Silver Moon Ferocious Wolf, that was out of the question.

Without multiple all-out attacks, he simply couldn't defeat the Silver Moon Wolf, which could be considered the strongest monster below the King level.

At the same time, the Silver Moon Wolf, the highest-ranking, strongest, and most perceptive wolf present, noticed an uninvited guest arriving in mid-air.

But before it could howl to warn the other lord-level monsters, a silver-gray streak flashed across its vision and shot straight toward the giant ape that was over twenty meters tall and covered in golden scales not far away.

The next moment, six Sky Shuttle blades, converging into a sharp cone shape, carrying an attack with a force of over 1,500 tons, struck the left ear of the King Kong Ape before it could react.

"boom--"

A violent roar resounded, and a huge crater of flesh and blood exploded in the left ear of the massive golden ape head.

Amidst the flying blood, flesh, and bone fragments, the sharp blade of the Sky-Piercing Shuttle pierced the ape's brain and then emerged from the skull through the right ear of the Vajra Ape.

High-ranking Lord-level Vajra Ape, dead!

Having secured the kill, Lu Jin, still in mid-air, quickly dispersed his six Sky-Piercing Shuttle blades, transforming them into six silver-gray streaks of light that attacked the six low-level lord-class monsters within the dense forest.

"Puff-puff-puff-"

In an instant, the sounds of six paths piercing flesh and breaking through the body rang out almost simultaneously.

The six low-level lord-class monsters, each of different races and all of considerable size, were instantly killed on the spot by the sharp blades of the Sky Shuttle.

"Ouch——"

At that very moment, the Silver Moon Wolf, its pupils filled with terror, let out a mournful howl.

"Boom boom boom——"

In an instant, the ground in the dense forest collapsed, and many lord-level monsters that had been lying in ambush below, as well as a large number of beast general-level gold-devouring rats covered in golden fur, rushed out.

Including the Silver Moon Wolves and the remaining lord monsters on the ground, at this moment, there are four high-level lords, twelve mid-level lords, and thirty-two low-level lord monsters in the valley.

'Whoosh whoosh--'

At this moment, six whooshing sounds rang out, and Jiang Long and his six companions rushed into a devastated valley.

Upon seeing the devastation on the ground, where the high-level lord-class monster King Kong Ape and the corpses of six low-level lord-class monsters lay, the six people all showed joy on their faces.

"Well done! Kill!"

Jiang Long shouted loudly, ignoring the many beast general-level rat monsters present, and went straight to the Silver Moon Wolf with the 9-element Blood Shadow Battle Blade.

As the initiator of this beast tide, the Silver Moon Wolf, a peak-level high-ranking lord, is undoubtedly the strongest lord-level monster present, and naturally, it is he, a peak-level high-ranking war god warrior, who is responsible for restraining it.

Meanwhile, Song Yufei and his group of five also faced off against the remaining three high-level lords.

The six of them did not seek to kill the targets; their only goal was to keep them occupied and prevent them from interfering with Lu Jin's slaughter of the low-level and mid-level lord monsters.
