Chapter 1943: Tragic

"Form a defensive line! Don't give up! We've survived so many worlds; the title of fifth-tier contractor doesn't allow us to give up!!"

Yakluo roared. The engine in his torso quickly turned scorching red, and the other nine built-in dramatic number engines were all fully opened.

Hiss hiss~

Yakluo's clothes turned to ashes. Hearing his roar, Mu Yushi stood beside him.

"I didn't see it, you miner from the Apocalypse Paradise are actually quite brave."

Yakluo looked at the Zerg sea rushing from afar and grinned.

"I'm not a miner, I'm an elementalist!"

Mu Yushi stretched his hands out, and a large amount of water elements gathered around him.

"Yakluo is right, form a defensive line!"

More than eight hundred contractors spontaneously formed a defensive line. Tanks, Sun Warriors, and close-combat fighters were on the outermost perimeter, behind them were long-range types, and in the center were healing and auxiliary types.

Yakluo, Mu Yushi, and Afuro stood in the crowd. Soon, their gaze was attracted by a tall sculpture half a kilometer away. On it stood a man, and beside him were a dog, a cat, a tauren, and a black-blue vulture on the tauren's shoulder.

"I feel like we've been schemed against by that madman. The Zerg nest we destroyed a few days ago... was fake. Destroying that place was to make us feel at ease, to have internal strife, and to wantonly loot resources in this world."

Afuro looked at Su Xiao in the distance, muttering to herself.

"By this time, isn't that just farting?"

Mu Yushi rarely cursed. Afuro didn't pay attention to him. At such a time, she didn't care at all.

"The three of us join forces, think of a way to kill our way out."

Yakluo spoke in a deep voice. Mu Yushi and Afuro both looked at him in surprise. That was clearly a look of concern for a mentally handicapped person.

"They're coming! Don't get scattered! Holy Light Paradise girl, pay attention to my life status."

A main tank on the outermost perimeter of the defensive line shouted, but his shout was drowned out by a series of roars.

Elemental abilities, energy weapons, and various long-range abilities flew out from the crowd, slamming into the rushing Demon Beasts.

Boom, boom...

Just for a moment, dozens of Demon Beasts were blown to pieces. However, Demon Beasts swarmed in from all directions, covering the sky and the earth. The corpses of their own kind were instantly trampled into fragments by them.

"Too many! Think of a way to break out!"

A spell-type contractor roared. Although he blasted out two ultimate abilities, blasting two groups of Demon Beasts to death, this was irrelevant to the Demon Beast army.

The Sun Warriors on the periphery of the crowd stood in several rows. They muttered something in a low voice, roughly meaning ancestors bless them.

After the Demon Beasts fell two rows, a loud noise came from afar.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

A series of loud noises came from the edge of the ancient battlefield. The cyan-green fireballs from before appeared. This time there were a thousand of them, and each fireball had a diameter of two meters, filling this sky. The sky turned cyan-blue.

A thousand large fireballs flew over in a parabolic trajectory. A close-combat contractor looked up, and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Afuro, buff..."

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Dense explosions sounded in the crowd. Even if dozens of contractors used large-scale defensive abilities like barriers and defensive shields, the combined bombardment of a thousand Titans wasn't something these contractors could block. The barriers and shields were as fragile as eggshells, instantly blown to pieces.

One round of bombardment, plus the corrosion and burning of the cyan-blue flames, 103 contractors were killed instantly on the spot. The most miserable were the healers and auxiliary types in the center.

Cyan-blue flames rose in the crowd. In the flames, Afuro sat on the ground, the golden-white long clothes on her body shattered. This was an epic-grade piece of equipment, barely helping her block this round of biological cannon fire.

Afuro gasped for breath. Her fists were clenched, and three pairs of golden light wings unfolded behind her. This time Afuro didn't fly into the sky. Although this would cause the buff range to shrink, flying into the sky was a living target, and she didn't dare to do so.

After a round of volleying, the long-range types of the Three Paradise Alliance were immediately silenced. The Demon Beasts from all directions took the opportunity to rush forward.

"Hold on, third-stage Zerg are not hard to deal with!"

A main tank roared, blocking an alloy shield in front of him.

Dang, dang, dang...

Like blacksmithing, a series of crisp sounds came. The main tank felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and a strange energy surged into his body. Looking at the battle prompt, he almost fainted.

【You received 20 points of true damage.】

【You received 31 points of true damage.】

【You received 20 points of true damage.】

The battle prompt was so fast it was scrolling. The healer responsible for healing him had just raised her staff, and a crisp crack came from the alloy shield in the main tank's hand.

"No, way..."

As soon as the main tank finished speaking, with a clatter, the alloy shield in his hand shattered. After true damage accumulated to a certain extent, breaking the shield was just a matter of an instant.

"Roar!"

A Demon Beast pounced into the main tank's arms. That bloody mouth opened to the neck, and two rows of small dagger-like teeth bit down.

Puchi!

A drop of blood splattered. The physical defense of this main tank was very astonishing. The Demon Beast's teeth only sank into his skin and flesh and couldn't tear off his entire shoulder.

"Get, lost!"

The main tank roared, throwing off the Demon Beast on his body. The next moment, a dozen Demon Beasts pounced, and the main tank was drowned by the Zerg sea.

The Demon Beasts weren't without tactics. They were divided into forty echelons. After the first echelon pounced on the enemy, the second echelon used the Demon Beasts of the first echelon as a springboard, jumping over their companions to attack the enemies in the second row. The subsequent echelons of Demon Beasts repeated this.

This division resulted in the Demon Beasts being like a black wave, quickly drowning the contractors of the Three Paradise Alliance.

"Burn!"

Yakluo's mechanical arm raised, and with a boom, flames sprayed out. A large patch of Demon Beasts turned into charcoal. However, the next batch of Demon Beasts came again.

The Three Paradise Alliance formed a defensive line? It was impossible. Half a minute after the battle started, the healers and auxiliary types in the center weren't safe. After five minutes, the Titan troop could rely on biological energy to fill the biological cannon, and by then, the contractors' doomsday would arrive.

Yakluo and Mu Yushi both erupted with combat power not weaker than Su Xiao's. However, there were simply too many Demon Beasts, so many that they were in despair.

"Old schemer from the Reincarnation Paradise, have the guts to fight me one-on-one. If you win, all my equipment and all items in my storage space will belong to you."

Yakluo, who was about to be drowned by the Zerg sea, roared. He was too unwilling. Even if he racked his brains to think, he couldn't figure out why the situation developed to this extent. Where did these Zerg come from? Wasn't the enemy already driven to a dead end a few days ago?

Half a kilometer away, on top of the giant sculpture, Su Xiao sat on the back of a Demon Beast, a cigarette in his mouth. As for the one-on-one proposal from Yakluo, it was directly ignored by him. Before, when 900-plus people were against him alone, the other party never mentioned one-on-one.

After being besieged by the Zerg tide for two minutes, all the tanks of the Three Paradise Alliance fell. The true damage of the Demon Beasts was simply shameless. One or two didn't matter, but if attacked by a dozen at the same time, one would instantly suffer hundreds of points of true damage, and it was like this every round. It was common to break shields and break armor. Who could withstand this?

The Three Paradise Alliance could hold out until now mainly because of Afuro's buff state.

Shouts of killing shook the sky, the roars of Demon Beasts were endless, and explosions continued. A close-combat contractor roared in despair and was then stabbed into a sieve by the long tails of a dozen Demon Beasts.

Inside the chaotic battlefield, the health of the contractors of the Three Paradise Alliance dropped rapidly, and they were quickly healed by Afuro's buff state.

Inside the chaotic battlefield, a contractor covered in blood and seriously injured was about to crawl up when he was pressed down by nearly a hundred Demon Beasts. These Demon Beasts hugged into a ball, and their long tails stabbed wildly into the center of the ball. Blood surged out through the gaps of the Demon Beasts.

Inside the chaotic battlefield, a female contractor from the Apocalypse Paradise took a few steps back. At this time, she had a face full of horror, with an expression of being about to be broken.

Boom, boom, boom...

Loud noises came from the edge of the ancient ruins. For the contractors of the Three Paradise Alliance, this was the sound of a nightmare.

A thousand cyan-blue fireballs fell from the sky, first exploding, then acidic burning liquid splattered everywhere.

"Ah!!"

A contractor screamed to the sky, cyan-blue flames burning his whole body. In a situation where he couldn't bear it, he stabbed his throat with the dagger in his hand.

This round of volleying went down, killing a large number of contractors and Demon Beasts, but the Demon Beasts behind immediately filled in.

In the center of the battlefield, Afuro lay on the ground. She no longer had the strength to maintain the buff state. It was the anger and helplessness of being schemed against clearly, making her expression somewhat dull.

"Burn!!"

Orange flames rose. Yakluo stood in the flames, one mechanical arm severed at the root. Just now, he witnessed Mu Yushi being torn to pieces by the Zerg. Such a strongman only left a sentence "Damn it" before being torn to pieces on the spot.

Yakluo looked at Su Xiao in the distance. He had tried to use the jet engine to escape, but was blasted down by the elite Titans on standby. His mechanical arm was severed like this.

Now, it was a dead end. Yakluo's single arm stabbed into his torso, pressing the secret device on the core engine.

Buzz~

The metal on Yakluo's torso and single arm turned scorching red, and his eyes lost their luster.

Boom!

Yakluo disappeared from where he stood, rushing straight toward Su Xiao. The Demon Beasts along the way were shattered one by one, turning into ashes. Wherever he passed, no Demon Beast could block him for an instant.

In just two seconds, Yakluo broke through to Su Xiao's vicinity. Unfortunately, he still couldn't kill his way out of the Zerg tide. Moreover, under the sculpture, there were hundreds of exceptionally tall elite Demon Beasts guarding. They were faster and blocked Yakluo's only path.

Yakluo was drowned by hundreds of elite Demon Beasts. Biting, tail-stabbing, countless attacks drowned him.

With a clatter, a severed mechanical arm flew out, landing in front of Su Xiao's feet.

"Compared to them, you have more backbone."

Su Xiao kicked away the mechanical arm beside his feet. Yakluo, who was drowned by the elite Demon Beasts, also saw Su Xiao. The next moment, a long tail stabbed into his eye socket, electric sparks splattered, and Yakluo died in battle, dying with backbone.

Twenty minutes later, the battle stopped. The altar was full of corpses of contractors and Demon Beasts.

Su Xiao jumped down from the giant sculpture, stepped over a large area of corpses, and came to the center of the altar.

The world core floated in front of Su Xiao. A crystal layer wrapped his right arm, and his hand grabbed the world core.

【Announcement: World core affiliation paradise is changing...】

【World coordinate formation has been interrupted.】

【World core affiliation side: Reincarnation Paradise.】

【New world coordinate is generating...】

After changing the affiliation camp of the world core, Su Xiao walked to a "corpse."

"Wait, I can..."

Afuro, who was feigning death, raised an arm. At this time, her clothes were half-exposed, and there were drops of blood on her face.

Puchi!

The long blade pierced through Afuro's throat. Her mouth opened slightly, and blood dripped down the corner of her mouth.

"Hesitation leads to defeat."

Su Xiao spoke with an expressionless face.

"How... could... you... know... this sentence..."

The luster in Afuro's eyes faded. The chief healer of the Three Paradise Alliance was killed in action.

Su Xiao didn't answer Afuro's question, just pinched the corner of the other party's clothes and took off a listening device the size of a dust particle. This thing was very expensive; it was obtained by Su Xiao from the mechanical girl in exchange for four types of legendary materials.

Su Xiao pulled out Zhan Long Shan, shook off the blood on it, and the long blade returned to its sheath.
