Why is my territory in a 2D anime art style?

Chapter 160 The Long-Awaited Dark Breath Silver Scale Beast!

Sui Ancai confirmed the true defensive capabilities of the city wall. He then activated the Thunder Seal mode, illuminating the entire outer side of the northern quarter of the city wall.

A burst of bright lightning suddenly shone on the city wall, like a huge electrified network covering the top of the wall. Even though some areas had been damaged by the source beasts, it did not affect the lightning in other areas.

"Bang~ Bang~ Bang~"

One after another, the source beasts fell from the city wall like dumplings being dropped into a pot. Paralyzed by the intense lightning, they didn't even have time to roar before crashing to the ground.

Sui An peeked out and looked down. He saw that the source beasts that had been electrocuted stood up shakily after a few breaths, without suffering any major damage.

"As expected, this Thunder Seal mode mainly has a paralyzing effect and doesn't do much damage."

"Stop playing around, another big one is coming!" Zhao Feng continued to act as the observer, after all, the projector on the detection station was only 3...

The blue building is of a certain grade, with a detection range of only 300 meters.

This distance is gradually becoming obsolete for most mid-level source beasts. For example, that level 6 ice demon could cover a hundred or two meters in just one or two breaths. Relying on this detection effect would often leave them unable to react in time.

"What kind of source beast is it?"

Sui An turned around, asking questions while adjusting the illusion altar below to summon illusions.

The illusion passed through the massive city wall and reached a corner, where it began to grow rapidly, reaching a height of ten meters in the blink of an eye.

On the city wall, the crowd of people who had never seen anything like it before were instantly terrified and retreated in fear, cold sweat pouring down their faces.

Anyone would be startled if they saw such a strange and large creature suddenly appear before them.

"Don't panic, this is just a tactic used by the territory!"

Upon seeing this, Erhu immediately shouted and began to soothe the situation.

The erhu's shouts seemed to have some effect, as everyone's eyes turned to them, still shaken.

"Don't panic, it's just the territory's doing. You just need to defend the city walls!"

The level four illusion had reached its maximum size, standing a full 10 meters tall, and its taunt range had now reached 30.

At this moment, the purple building has fully demonstrated its power.

With its appearance, the source beasts below began to rampage wildly, no longer attacking the city walls, and started charging towards the illusion.

In just a few breaths, the source beasts gathered below the city wall formed a huge horde around the illusion, with various lights flashing below and all sorts of skills being thrown around in a chaotic mess.

Zheng Xu pulled his cousin to steady himself, his eyes shining brightly as if he were looking at a treasure.

"So this is the method Big Brother was talking about for controlling low-level source beasts?!"

Although Zheng Xu was playful, he was quite knowledgeable. After witnessing the effect before him, he instantly understood the purpose of the illusion.

Zheng Qiuyu hid behind her cousin, her originally tall figure now huddled up, clearly still somewhat nervous.

"Is this an illusion, not the real thing?"

"It should be. Look at those source beasts in the distance, they're all rushing over like madmen, attacking it. It must have hallucinogenic effects."

"No wonder, Big Brother said that when this territory was at level three, it could withstand more than five thousand low-level source beasts. That's practically a miracle without city walls for protection!"

As they were speaking, a fireball pierced through the illusion from below and crashed down. Fortunately, the Thousand Winds Barrier was protecting the city wall, so the fireball only rippled slightly before stopping.

This appeared to be one of the source energy attacks flying wildly from the horde of source beasts below; soon, silver crescents, ice spikes, and wind blades followed.

The attacks, and others, occasionally bypassed the illusions and struck near the top of the city wall.

Sui An had no choice but to distance himself from the illusion to avoid being constantly attacked and accidentally hit on his side.

The elemental statue began to automatically attack the horde of illusionary beasts. Its attack range was now rather short, only able to reach one side of the illusion.

The group in front of the ten shattered gold cannons, having recovered under Erhu's direction, began attacking the beast horde.

go with.

"There are seven or eight level 4 common source beasts. The Yellow Rock Rhinoceroses are charging over, and they all seem to be bulls."

Zhao Feng's voice came over. The rhinoceros was huge, even bigger than the armored rhinoceros from before.

Their charging posture was incredibly powerful and made a tremendous commotion.

Even near them, few source beasts dared to approach, fearing they would be trampled and crushed into mincemeat on the spot.

"This thing is strong and has thick skin, but it's bulky and can't easily stop or change direction once it starts running. It's a sitting duck."

Ye Tengyang continued to cooperate with Zhao Feng in explaining to Sui An, and added a sentence in case Sui An didn't understand.

"The key is that there can't be too many of them. Once these things charge over, some green-quality walls can be smashed to pieces on the spot."

"I know!"

Sui An had seen this kind of source beast before; it was considered quite common.

The two groups of level 4 source beasts we encountered today were both level 4 races, not level 4 breakthrough forms, which already demonstrates the scale of the rift today.

"Aren't you going to fire a few shots and kill them?" Zhao Feng asked, somewhat surprised when Sui An didn't move after waiting for a while.

"Why fight them?"

Sui An looked completely innocent, spreading his hands in a gesture of respect: "Such excellent henchmen, I've been waiting for them to charge over!"

Zhao Feng instantly understood Sui An's meaning, but she couldn't help asking another question: "Are you confident? If this thing really hits the city wall, it's thick-skinned and can really make a big crater in it."

"It's not a big problem. Even if the illusions don't control them, so many source beasts blocking their way should be enough to slow them down. What's there to be afraid of!"

Sui An began manipulating the illusions while chatting with Zhao Feng.

Using the view from the golden firecrackers, he determined the charging route of the Huangyan rhinoceroses. When he realized they didn't have time to change direction, he began to guide the herd to move slightly and stop in front of their charging route.

The six yellow rhinoceroses emitted a rich, bright yellow light, as if they were protected by heavy armor. When they saw the herd of beasts suddenly surging in front of them, they did not hesitate at all.

Should I avoid their sharpest attacks?

The six enormous creatures had already entered the illusion's effective range. With a furious roar, they charged into the beast horde without hesitation, like meteorites crashing into the horde. Countless source beasts were sent flying by the terrifying impact, their bodies shattered and torn apart.

They actually managed to tear huge gaps in the dense horde of beasts, but these gaps were quickly filled by the newly arrived source.

The beast made up for it.

Rhinoceroses are naturally extremely irritable, and now, under the combined stimulation of the blood moon and the illusion, they are even more terrifying than when they are in heat.

Once the six Huangyan rhinoceroses entered the crowded herd, even with their immense strength, they could no longer charge forward and could only stomp and trample in frustration.

Even with such simple impacts and trampling, their size makes them incredibly powerful, and countless low-level source beasts have perished under their heavy stomping.

Seeing this, Sui An laughed so hard he couldn't stop, and quickly called out to the erhu playing not far away.

"Erhu, please don't hit my precious rhinoceros, that would save you so much trouble!"

"clear!"

Erhu waved his hand, indicating that he understood.

In fact, the Gold-Shattering Cannon alone was not enough to break through the defenses of this thick-skinned creature.

As for the elemental statue, its weakness has now been exposed; it simply cannot reach that direction.

"Alright, we're starting to get on track!"

After confirming that the level 4 Illusion Altar could induce illusions in level 4 Source Beasts, Sui An naturally relaxed considerably. Next, he only needed to...

By constantly adjusting the position of the illusions, you can make the elemental statues attack as many living source beasts as possible.

If it weren't for the possibility of the centaur attacking from a distance, and the fact that the illusion couldn't go too far, he would have wanted to try it out from the start.

"It's definitely much easier now!" Ye Tengyang had already quietly removed his hand from the hilt of the knife. Anyone who saw a level four source beast being hallucinated would feel the same way.

Taking advantage of the free time, Sui An began to survey the battlefield and roughly estimate its current scale.

The rift had only been open for seven or eight minutes, and including the time spent traveling at the beginning, he had actually only faced the rift beast tide for about four or five minutes.

But the beast horde that had gathered at this moment already numbered over a thousand. If this pace continued, he might be able to easily acquire five or six thousand source beasts.

Fang Si glanced around and said softly, "Little sister, there's nothing fun to see here anymore. Why don't you go back and rest? I can't stay here watching over you forever."

"You're fine now, aren't you? I'm staying with Boss Sui; this is definitely the safest place!"

Fang Nian didn't really want to go down either. She even glanced at the Broken Gold Cannon not far away, and the corners of her mouth drooped slightly.

In the past, she could help control one turret during each rift, but now that there are more turrets, it's not her turn to play anymore.

Fang Si's temples twitched slightly; how could he not understand his little sister's glance?

He just didn't understand why his younger sister, who was such a quiet girl, liked to play with this kind of thing.

They've gotten addicted to it!

There are exceptions to this kind of thing.

Zheng Qiuyu wasn't very interested at the moment. She just put her arm around her cousin's shoulder and looked around curiously, but she soon got a little tired of it.

"That's all the crack?"

"This is too easy, it's not interesting at all, and so many people are just watching the show up there—"

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener; Zheng Qiuyu's words caused a chorus of coughs to erupt on the city wall.

Zheng Xu pleaded with a pained expression, "Good sister, please don't say anything nonsense, or I won't be able to save you if you get beaten up!"

"To be honest, they're all so idle. What's the point of having so many people? Boss Sui alone is enough."

Zheng Qiuyu shrank her neck slightly, but she didn't think she had said anything wrong.

Although she hadn't experienced these things herself, she could still understand them clearly. The fourteen elemental statues attacked automatically, the illusions below were controlled by Boss Sui, and the cannons in front of him were also controlled by him.

Only those ten golden cannons require someone to operate them, but their firepower looks rather ordinary; they're just there to make up the numbers.

Fang Si's face instantly turned bright red. Even with his experience, he couldn't hold back his laughter after being teased by two girls in succession.

Zhao Feng and Ye Tengyang, on the other hand, maintained a decent demeanor; the older generation's manners are not something young people can easily learn.

At this point, only Sui An could step in. If she continued to complain like this, Aunt Zhao and the others, being senior figures, wouldn't have any problems, but Fang Si might jump off a building.

He sighed and turned to look at the two little girls.

"Two silly girls!"

"As the saying goes, 'An army is raised for a thousand days to be used for one.' Don't think they're useless just because they have nothing to do now. If an accident happens, they'll all have to step up."

"If any powerful source beasts rush over at this moment, they must help hold them off, giving me space and time to launch a safe attack."

"Bang!"

A particularly deep sound came from one side of the city wall, interrupting Sui An's words.

The shockwave from the sound was quite distinct, seemingly unlike any other attack.

Sui An subconsciously looked at his detection projection, but there was nothing unusual on it; he couldn't even see a white dot near the city wall.

Not at all.

Everyone's expression changed as they immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly peered out to check the source of the sound.

"What is that thing!" Zhao Tong was the first to exclaim. He was the first to peek out and see what it was. In his view, there was a huge black shadow in the corner of the wall not far away.

Even under the blood-red moonlight, the shadow remained pitch black, as if it could absorb all the light.

"Bang!"

The dark shape slammed into the base of the city wall again, the powerful attack creating a large crater in the wall.

Such a mysterious appearance and a mighty posture.

Zhao Feng and Ye Tengyang exchanged a glance before uttering a name that left a deep impression on Sui An.

"Dark Breath Silver Scale Beast?"

"However, this size isn't quite right; it doesn't look like a level four!"

Zhao Feng's voice came again, but Sui An couldn't care less. This thing was still very powerful when hitting the city wall, and they couldn't let it keep smashing down like that.

From this angle, the Golden Flower Cannon can't reach it.

Sui An could only try to summon the illusions to see if it would have any effect, while simultaneously activating the Sword Star Totem.

As the sword star rose into the sky, high above the horizon, Sui An observed it and found that its angle was just enough to bring the blind spots below the city wall into its firing range.

The illusion wasn't far away and moved very quickly, but the dark figure only paused slightly before it seemed to have no effect whatsoever.

As expected, it's not a level 4 source beast. If it were also a level 4 source beast, even with a strong will, it shouldn't have become immune to hallucinations so easily.

The answer is obvious.

"It's either a Beast King, or a Level 5 breakthrough form of the Dark Breath Silver Scale Beast!"

Zhao Feng picked up his newly acquired blue-quality broadsword, stood up, and prepared to leap off the city wall in an attempt to intercept the creature and prevent it from continuing to damage the wall. However, Sui An beat him to it.

The giant sword of fire had already taken shape, and the ten-meter-long sword hung high in the sky. Even though they were quite far away, the newcomers on the city wall still noticed something unusual.

The surrounding temperature was rising rapidly, and after only a short while, the air around us was already quite scorching.

They looked up in horror, trembling with fear at the sight of such a powerful energy attack at such close range.

Even Zheng Xu instinctively shielded his sister behind him, involuntarily taking two steps back.

Fortunately, as Sui An locked onto the target, the sword quickly fell.

The shadowy figure below seemed to sense a great threat. It stood up, and the shadowy figure around it quickly contracted, transforming into dense black energy that protected its massive claws, attempting to destroy the flaming sword.

The moment its energy shield faded, the detection station began to sound an alarm, and a red dot of light was right in front of it.

It really is a level 5 Dark Breath Silver Scale Beast!

The Dark Breath Silver Scale Beast is a level 4 elite race, even approaching the level of a lord. At level 2, it already has a body length of 3 meters and a terrifyingly powerful physique.

Now that he has broken through, his strength seems to have become even greater.

As it stood up, its body was already taller than half the city wall. Its ferocious head gleamed coldly against the backdrop of its scales, and a fierce aura spread outwards. Everyone who was nearby began to retreat.

Its enormous size was truly terrifying to everyone; they wondered how it could reach the vicinity of the city wall right under their noses.

Like a mighty giant, it tried to clamp the flaming greatsword with its scale-covered claws.

But even at level five, it seemed to have underestimated the power of this flaming sword; the enormous impact made it impossible for it to catch it.

The sword pressed down inch by inch, finally freeing its claws, and the blade pierced its shoulder, piercing its massive body.

It was stabbed and flipped over, crashing completely into the ground.

"boom!"

Smoke and dust rose, and the Flame Sword finally ran out of power. In the [Burning Night] mode, the dense flames rose, but instead of condensing into a firebird, they turned into countless sparks scattered in all directions.

Even the distant source beasts lured there by the illusion were affected.

The source energy on the surface of countless source beasts was instantly ignited, burning fiercely from small flames and bursting forth in the beast horde in an instant.

Beneath the flames, the giant beast could only howl in agony as the sword of fire pierced its shoulder nearly a meter deep before vanishing completely.

Its massive left arm hung limply in front of its chest, clearly unable to move.

The limbs, enveloped in dark energy, were now burning like torches, and no matter how it tried to wave them, it could not extinguish the flames.

"Wow, this thing is so powerful after its breakthrough!"

Zhao Feng subconsciously took a step back. She was glad she hadn't jumped. If she had chosen to fight back directly, she would probably be stuck on the city wall by now.

There's no way around it; the enormous physique of the Source Beasts has an absolutely positive effect on increasing combat power in many situations.

"It's okay, as long as we can break its defenses, we can kill it!"

Sui An looked at the enormous beast struggling on the ground, now exposed to the golden firework's view.

"boom!"

At such close range, the Flame Rose Crystal Bullet struck its face almost instantly, the violent explosion being more direct than the piercing of the Flame Greatsword.

"Aww!"

As an even more painful howl arose, its massive arms tried to stroke its head, but the burning crimson flames kept it at bay.

At this moment, both the head and the chest had countless palm-sized silver-white scales that had been shattered, revealing the pink flesh beneath.

"Could we move the metallic crystal bullet to the front?"

Sui An glanced at the fire-attribute crystal bullet. Against such a large source beast, although a fire explosion could cause a larger wound, it also reduced the damage too much.

Even after taking two direct hits from the purple building, the behemoth, relying on its incredibly thick flesh and blood body and its extremely strong defensive scales, did not completely lose its ability to move.

Even though the initial sword strike had created a huge wound, he was only limited in movement at this moment, but he was still alive.

It seems that the purple building is becoming increasingly difficult to kill due to its higher level, but in reality, it's because this guy is still too powerful.

Regardless of how a Source Beast grows to level 4, there are very few that are too weak. Even a strong ordinary person could make Ghost Fox cry because of its weak physique and thin Source Energy.

This kind of existence ceases to exist from the intermediate level onwards.

There are no weak source beasts that can grow to the intermediate level!

Therefore, the risk of a mid-level elite kill is not the same as the risk of a low-level elite kill.

It's like the very first monsters in an online game; you can solo them even with a full set of basic gear.

However, once you reach a certain level, you'll need a decent set of equipment to solo ordinary monsters.

It's not that purple buildings have been phased out, but rather that purple buildings are no longer as rare as low-level ones!

Perhaps when everyone reaches a higher level and is equipped with blue-quality gear, your purple buildings won't stand out so much.

Sui An tried to move the newly generated metallic crystal bullet to the front row, and surprisingly, it actually worked.

He focused his attack on the massive head, whose scales had already been shattered.

This time, the roar of the cannonballs was much more muffled, and a golden line flashed past everyone's eyes.

"Bang!"

The beast's pitiful howls abruptly ceased not far away. The remaining scales on its massive head, already shattered, suddenly burst open from within, scattering countless pieces of blood and flesh, with a faint golden light flashing in the air.

The city wall was instantly covered in blood, and even pieces of flesh and blood were thrown at the barrier a little further away.

"Holy crap, what kind of attack is that!" Erhu's exclamation came from the side.

Even for those closest to them, this was the first time they had witnessed the power of this cannon. Although the initial explosion was powerful, it was not uncommon for them.

This attack was different; those present could clearly tell that it wasn't a fire-attribute attack.

Like an armor-piercing shell, it shattered the enormous head into pieces.

Can a cannon produce two completely different types of shells?

This is somewhat counterintuitive!

"Armor-piercing shell!"

Sui An squinted and replied that although he had killed the big guy, he still found that there was a problem with the response mode of his territory.

As the rift widened, the source beasts that emerged became increasingly strange.

Having witnessed those who dug tunnels in and those who sneaked in by bypassing everyone's sight, who knows how many other strange and unusual methods they might have used.

It is clearly problematic to rely on only one method to identify the traces of the source beasts.

After thinking for a moment, he called out to the erhu on the side.

"Erhu, the guards don't all need to stay in front of the gun emplacements. Send three out to guard the watchtowers on the other three sides of the city wall. Equip them with binoculars, communicators, and spotlights to prevent any more of these source beasts from sneaking over."

"Once the rift closes, we'll have four people guarding the watchtowers in four directions, on a shift system."

Erhu paused for a moment, then he understood what Sui An meant. But the team only had ten people, so if they were arranged like this, then the third class would obviously not be able to keep up.

"It's fine today, but doing this long-term is unsustainable. We don't have enough guards right now; some people can't be on duty for 16 hours a day!"

Count me in!

Before Sui An could speak, Wang Hu spoke up first. Zhao Feng glanced at her son in surprise, but didn't say anything.

"I can be counted in first too!" Fang Si's voice came from the side.
