Chapter 640: A Bumper Harvest! Wang Sheng Takes the Fall!

"Hiss! What a powerful burst of thunder! Which expert released it?"

"Incredible! Judging by the might, this is definitely an SSS-rank battle technique."

"I didn't expect our S-12 defense line to have an expert like this—looks like we won't have to be so cautious."

"......"

One after another, exclamations from Master-level experts rang out.

"Damned humans!!"

But just then, a wave of spiritual force carrying an intense bloodthirsty aura swept out from the beast horde.

Every ability-user could sense the fury within it.

A giant bear over ten meters tall, lightning crackling all over its body, rose upright from the beast tide!

Crackle!

It opened its bloody maw, roared and growled at the sky, and a torrent of thunder surged forth.

In an instant, it dispersed the dark clouds overhead, and the endless bolts of lightning striking the ground vanished as well!

"An eighth-tier peak Storm Thunder Bear!"

Xu Jingming's heart jolted, and he hurriedly收敛 all of his thunder.

If he were targeted by an eighth-tier peak fierce beast, then forget about taking part properly in the battles that followed.

"Human, I'll remember you!"

And at that moment, the Storm Thunder Bear's spiritual force swept out once again.

It carried an unprecedented savagery!

This time, the target was actually Wang Sheng, who was not far off to the side!!

Wang Sheng's face was blank with confusion.

This thunder wasn't released by me?

How did it get pinned on me?

After his confusion, his face suddenly went pale.

Although he was an eight-star Master, capable of tangling with eighth-tier fierce beasts, he simply couldn't beat one!

Let alone an eighth-tier peak Storm Thunder Bear, which even among fierce beasts was maxed out on aggression!

Although eighth-tier peak fierce beasts had eighth-tier peak ability-users as their match,

being targeted by such a powerful existence was clearly a disaster, not a blessing.

"Roar—"

A distant, low beast-growl rose from the very rear of the beast tide, and the fierce beasts began to retreat.

The Blazing Flame Tiger glanced at Xu Jingming with some reluctance, then likewise chose to withdraw with the main force.

At this moment, a huge electronic prompt sounded from the giant loudspeaker on the rear city wall:

"The fierce beasts' first wave of attack has ended. All legions, please return and receive treatment and recovery."

"The fierce beasts' first wave of attack has ended. All legions......"

The human ability-users began to withdraw, and Xu Jingming also let out a long breath.

He hadn't expected that releasing an SSS-rank battle technique would draw the attention of an eighth-tier peak fierce beast!

Fortunately, the other party hadn't discovered him, and had mistakenly taken Wang Sheng for the caster.

Although this was a bit unfair, the poor Daoist dies, not the fellow Daoist.

He could only trouble him to take the blame for him.

Of course,

risk and opportunity coexisted. Although the release of the Wan Leitian Yin had been interrupted,

in just that single instant, the fierce beasts it killed provided Xu Jingming with 50,000 ability points!

After this first wave of attack, he had harvested a full 130,000 ability points!

"As expected, the front-line battlefield is the best place to farm ability points."

A smile appeared at the corner of Xu Jingming's mouth, and he sped toward the city wall gate.

First, return to the city to recover his abilities. Once the second wave of attack began, he'd go on another killing spree!

"Awesome! As expected of Old Wang—that lightning battle technique was insane!"

"Thunder Roar Squad, nice job. You guys should make a killing in resources this time."

"So jealous. That one battle technique just now definitely equaled the haul from three or four of our battles."

"......"

On the way back, quite a few Master-level experts gave Wang Sheng a thumbs-up.

Although the fierce beasts killed by the members of their Dejiaka battle group all belonged to themselves,

on the battlefield, there was no time to gather beast materials.

And the size of a spatial ring couldn't fit that many fierce beasts either.

Therefore, the fierce beasts killed by battle group members would all be recorded by their smart bracelets.

Later, they could be directly converted into Blue Star coins, or exchanged for resources.

And Wang Sheng's wave just now could absolutely be called a bumper harvest!

"Brother Wang! Awesome!"

"When did you learn that lightning battle technique? How come we didn't know?"

The members of the Thunder Roar Squad also gathered around cheerfully.

But Wang Sheng replied with an ugly expression: "This battle technique wasn't released by me—someone else did it."

"Huh? It wasn't you, Brother Wang, who released it? Then who was it?"

The squad members' eyes went wide.

But apart from Wang Sheng, there didn't seem to be any other lightning-type ability users nearby just now.

"I don't know either."

Wang Sheng shook his head, a hint of grievance in his voice:

"There must have been some other lightning-type powerhouse hidden on our side just now.

But if he could just openly release it, why did he have to do it sneakily and get me targeted by that Storm Lei Xiong?"

A peak Rank-8 fierce beast — extremely hard to kill.

Once targeted by it, even if he doesn't keep fighting in this battle, he could still run into it on another battlefield later.

In other words, from now on, whenever he comes to the front-line battlefield, he'll have to be constantly on guard against the appearance of that Storm Lei Xiong.

"What about the kill on the fierce beast? It won't still be counted on someone else, right?" a teammate hurriedly asked.

"That, at least, didn't happen."

Wang Sheng shook his head.

If he'd taken the blame for the other party and still didn't get the beast-kill record, that would really be enough to make him cry.

At this point, he could only console himself that at least the number of fierce beasts he'd killed just now was plenty.

Even if he didn't keep fighting in today's battle, he'd still come out ahead.

"You all keep fighting in the battle ahead — I'll sit this one out.

Wait until there's another combat-ready notification next time, then I'll come over."

Wang Sheng instructed.

At this point, he didn't dare stay here any longer either.

He was afraid that one moment that Storm Lei Xiong would hurl a bolt of lightning at him from several kilometers away.

When that happened, there really would be no way to dodge it!

After returning to the city district, with the help of an auxiliary-type ability user,

Xu Jingming recovered to peak condition in less than half an hour.

He immediately began recharging his Extreme Glory Thunder Ring, but after only three charges, the battle flared up once again.

Xu Jingming had no time for anything else and threw himself back into the fight.

This time Wang Sheng wasn't on site; without a scapegoat, he didn't dare keep using the Wan Leitian Yin.

He could only keep playing the cat-and-mouse game with that Rank-7 upper-tier Blazing Flame Tiger.

But even so, after more than three hours of fighting, Xu Jingming gained another 70,000 ability points.

Unlike the beast-tide invasion at Daxia's Zhen'an City, the beast tide here at Moben only launched two waves of attacks before choosing to retreat.

From start to finish, it took less than ten hours.

Yet the ability points on Xu Jingming's system panel ballooned from less than a thousand all the way up to 220,000!
