Chapter 237: Defense Battle Ends! I Don

The Earth暴熊's sense of smell was upgraded to Legendary grade, greatly enhancing Su Yang's tracking ability.

As a plant-type pet beast, the Hellblood Vine should have gained a decent Root Proliferation talent.

Root Proliferation greatly benefits plant-type ferocious beasts, at least ensuring they won't be yanked out of the ground so easily…

The Seven-Colored Illusionary Butterfly's five-sense illusion technique was enhanced to Legendary grade, significantly boosting its illusionary power!

Mu Yuankai knew at once, seeing the sky-blackening Black Iron-level flying ferocious beasts, that their small group could not possibly stop all of them.

"Golden-level pet masters with still-functional flying pet beasts, go into the city and specifically target airborne flying ferocious beasts."

"Got it!"

More than forty Golden-level pet masters left the city wall.

Su Yang ordered Storm Eagle to fly above Jiacheng.

Mu Yuankai's prediction was correct: many Bronze-level and Black Iron-level flying ferocious beasts broke through their defenses and infiltrated Jiacheng.

But faced with over forty Golden-level flying pet beasts, they could not stir up any real trouble.

Wherever Storm Eagle flew, all Bronze-level and Black Iron-level ferocious beasts rained down like a storm!

Meanwhile, over a thousand Silver-level pet masters on the wall completely scattered the Silver-level ground ferocious beasts.

As night fell, the Bronze-level and Black Iron-level ground ferocious beasts fleeing from Golden Tooth Mountain, faced with Jiacheng's towering, sturdy walls, had no intention of attacking—they simply detoured.

As the last wave of ferocious beasts departed, many Golden-level pet masters collapsed right where they stood.

The Golden-level pet masters bore the brunt of this battle—and suffered the highest casualty rate.

The threats posed by the Black Gold Armor Spider and Rock Armor Rhinoceros clans passing Jiacheng were simply too great!

Without the four Platinum-level pet masters of the emergency squad and over a hundred Gold High-Grade pet masters, Jiacheng would have fallen today.

"Everyone, well done. Silver-level pet masters rest in shifts; first, collect the core crystals. All Golden-level pet masters rest. Recon teams must patrol Jiacheng's surroundings 24/7—stay safe!"

Su Yang glanced at Zhu Xiaoshuang; she nodded at him: "Put away your Hellblood Vine and rest."

"What about you?"

The five Platinum-level pet masters didn't move.

"We can still hold on—we'll rest right on the wall!" Zhu Xiaoshuang smiled. "Mayor Mu even had tents brought up for us!"

Mu Yuankai smiled weakly with his pale face: "Very luxurious tents!"

Shen Yan cursed: "Go to hell, I lost one of my Platinum-level pet beasts!"

Mu Yuankai held up three fingers and forced a smile: "I lost three!"

He smiled worse than crying.

In this defense battle, he was definitely the one holding the front line.

"…"

Just as Su Yang was about to recall his Hellblood Vine, he heard a system prompt:

"Ding~ Your Hellblood Vine has upgraded to Gold High-Grade!"

The Hellblood Vine, by continuously devouring its offshoots, leveled up again.

Honestly, the Hellblood Vine could have leveled up at least one more time.

But it kept getting robbed of kills!

During coordinated attacks, just as the ferocious beasts were pinned down by its vines, the nearby Golden-level pet masters would immediately launch attacks on the trapped beasts!

Many of the ferocious beasts weren't even killed by it!

"Xu, what's wrong?"

As they descended the wall, Su Yang lagged behind; Xu Jiutian limped ahead of him.

"Injured?"

Xu Jiutian nodded.

"Aren't you going to the hospital?"

"Not today. I'll hold off for now—the hospital's probably swamped. I've got some healing meds—I'll just apply them myself."

"If you can't take it, just tell me."

"I'm fine!"

Below the wall, the breach had been fully repaired.

Military trucks arrived to pick up Su Yang and the others.

"You worked hard!"

"You worked hard!"

"Thank you!"

"…"

Jiacheng's soldiers helped the emergency squad's pet masters onto the trucks; the ride was smooth.

On the way in, the cargo bed had been cramped.

On the way back, many simply sat on the truck—now it felt spacious.

Some had died. Some were in the hospital.

A flame flickered; someone lit a cigarette.

"Want one?"

"No, thanks."

"Good, don't smoke—good!"

The Seventh Squad pet master rolled over, leaning out of the truck bed.

"When I saw you shove away over ten Rock Armor Rhinos, I thought you were totally badass!"

Su Yang solemnly replied: "I don't like men!"
