Chapter 327 The Final Battle: Kill Another Beast

Watching Bai Ye complete his movements with effortless grace, Lin Feng silently swallowed.

The third-order mutated cells already carry a trace of Zong Shiyue's evil god power, which can only be partially resisted by high-level holy spring water.

Of the hundreds of people present, only Lin Feng was able to use the system to remove the pollution; none of the others could stop its spread.

Once infected, one will suffer for a lifetime, not only making it difficult to improve one's strength in this life, but also having to endure the double blow of the distortion caused by the spread of contamination and the burning of flames, which can be described as a torturous ordeal.

One can only say that Bai Ye's actions were either due to his exceptional skill and daring, or that he was already going all out and intended to use his armor-piercing wolf spear to fight Lang Ao to the death.

After they were ready, they both focused their attention on the approximate location from which the peak second-tier aura was coming from behind the hillside. They would launch a counterattack at any moment if Lang Ao made any unusual move.

As the main force of the Salvation Army advanced, Wolf Ao, who had been operating behind the scenes, was able to regain command of his evolved wild wolf army. He summoned the two wounded early-stage second-tier wild wolf behemoths and sent them to the front of the Salvation Army's ranks.

To obstruct the combat squads attempting to break out.

At this time, the Salvation Army was led by Xu Wanfeng. The fighting force was originally no match for the Wild Wolf Beasts, but the two early-stage Wild Wolf Beasts were severely injured by Lin Feng's Heat Melt Annihilation Cannon, which greatly reduced their strength.

Even though his injuries have healed, his condition is far from what it used to be.

Even so, with the two behemoths working together, the Salvation Army's breakout attempt still suffered a major setback.

After all, Xu Wanfeng alone could only hold her own against one of the giant beasts at most. Now that both were attacking at the same time, she could only barely stand by relying on the firepower support of the group of late-stage first-tier squad leaders behind her.

As the convoy ahead struggled to move forward...

The Salvation Army's breakout suddenly came to a halt, plunging the rearguard into panic. In particular, the group, who had been full of hope, realized that the situation had changed drastically and that they might not be able to escape the encirclement of the evolved wolves as the second-tier expert had said.

Fortunately, the team leader, Bai Ye, had returned to the caravan, and the miracle-creating leader, Lin, was also with them.

Bai Ye's appearance acted like a stabilizing force, inspiring everyone present.

However, compared to the mindset of the lower-level team members, Bai Ye and Lin Feng were more aware of the seriousness of the problem at this moment.

Bai Ye immediately spoke up:

"This can't go on forever. We can't afford to wear down the Wilderness Wolves. They have more than ten times our strength. The longer we drag this out, the heavier our losses will be!"

"Can you find a way to fire a shot forward? Just to break the deadlock!"

Lin Feng's expression was solemn, his brows furrowed:
"impossible!"

"No matter how fast the rate of fire of the Annihilation Cannon is, it still requires at least a one-second interval. As long as I have any intention of aiming and locking forward, Wolf on the right will definitely be ready to launch an attack."

"The moment it pulls the trigger is its best opportunity to strike, and also our weakest moment."

"Wolf Ao is using two early-stage wild wolf behemoths to put us in a dilemma. Whether we stall or retaliate, it's a dead end..."

"Moreover, if both giant beasts attack at the same time, even if I can hit them, I can only kill one of them at most. The Wild Wolf Clan will still have the other Wild Wolf giant beast left."

"Now, according to what you said, unless you are confident that you can protect yourself and me while Wolf Ao is attacking at full force, and also launch a counterattack to pierce its body with the armor-piercing wolf spear in your hand..."

"Otherwise, I would rather retreat to the left now than risk putting myself in a hopeless situation!"

Bai Ye remained silent for a few seconds, his mind deep in thought. Then, his eyes hardened, and he made up his mind:
"Alright, I'm confident I can save your life. As for whether we can successfully counterattack, that will depend on your cooperation."

"If your cannon could fire a second Annihilation Cannon within a second, it could at least achieve a second lock-on after Wolf Ao launches his attack and breaks into the convoy, right?"

Lin Feng nodded, no problem at all:

"Definitely. Within 300 meters, no second-tier evolved being can outrun a cannonball that reaches supersonic speed. Even if someone can sense the danger approaching within 300 meters, given Wolf Ao's massive second-tier body, he simply won't be able to react in time."

"However, the shockwave and aftershocks of the Annihilation Cannon will affect an area of ​​at least 100 meters in radius, which is equivalent to a distance of 200 meters in front and behind, and can encompass half of the convoy..."

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"We are still confident that we can minimize the damage..."

Bai Ye shook his head and said directly:
"Wolf Ao's first target was actually you..."

"So wait, let's move to the right. In order to kill you, it will have to attack from the side."

"Otherwise, jumping down from the top of the hill, you'd easily become a target from that high vantage point."

"The purpose of doing this is to prevent Lang Ao from observing our movements, predicting when we will make a move, and launching an attack immediately."

"When you're ready to make your move, immediately fly up the hillside, trying to shorten the distance to the wolf so it has no room to charge and can't find a suitable angle to attack..."

"And I will use the remaining spatial power to seize the opportunity and teleport you directly to the sky."

"At that time, in order to kill you, Wolf Ao will definitely make a crouching pounce, and you will appear in mid-air, looking down at it and locking onto it."

"In this way, as long as the shells hit Lang'ao accurately, and its body acts as a shield, the residual force that could affect the convoy at the bottom of the valley below the hillside can be greatly reduced."

Bai Ye's plan was indeed feasible, but Lin Feng soon discovered a problem with it:

"If Lang Ao changes his strategy and attacks you directly, should I still make a move?"

"The power of the Annihilation Cannon is so great that even a peak second-tier evolved being cannot withstand its destructive force within a fifty-meter radius."

Bai Ye then rolled her eyes at Lin Feng:
"Can't you adapt to different situations?"

"If I want to focus all my efforts on shifting your position, I won't have much energy left to dodge myself, and I'll inevitably have to engage in a head-on fight with Lang Ao."

"But at that time, you must be in mid-air, raise the cannon in your hand and aim it at Lang Ao. Even if it is not time to continue firing, you must make the corresponding action."

"Once locked onto by the cannon, Lang Ao's first instinct would definitely be to escape, not to engage in a life-or-death battle with me."

"This will create the best opportunity for me to make a move."

"After we finish our exchange and Lang Ao escapes the valley, you can aim and fire then."

"Even if the Annihilation Cannon fails to accurately lock onto the target, the mutated flesh on the Armor-Piercing Wolf Spear will still cause serious infection to Wolf Ao."

"The intrusion of the pollution source will accelerate its spread as it utilizes its third-order power."

"Once this ancient giant wolf can no longer use its third-tier power, this crisis will be easily resolved!"

Lin Feng nodded. The two then began their operation, withdrawing from the top of the cargo box of the heavy truck they were guarding and slowly moving towards the hillside on the right.

During the journey, Lin Feng keenly noticed two sharp, sweeping gazes coming from the top of the hillside on his right.

It was the intimidating aura emanating from Lang Ao's eyes.

It immediately sensed the unusual movements of Lin Feng and his companion, and tried to discern their intention to move their target.

When it realized that the two were approaching it directly, it fell into deep thought.

The two of them must have come for me.

However, Lang Ao himself was also waiting for the gun-wielding superhuman on the other side to launch an attack on the giant wolf beast in front, thus creating an opportunity for himself to get closer.

As long as we can get within 200 meters of the target...

Given the power of that weapon in the opponent's hand, once it is fired, it will definitely also affect the gun-wielding ability user himself.

Once the threat of artillery is gone, Wolf Ao will be able to easily defeat his opponent. Even with White Night's protection, he cannot stop the giant wolf in close combat.

After so many battles, Lang Ao had a very good understanding of the abilities of Bai Ye, the leader of the Salvation Army.

Using spatial power, one can only move a target a hundred meters or so away at most, and can only affect one large target at a time.

In other words, once he gets close, Bai Ye will either have to activate his spatial abilities to rescue the gun-wielding ability user, or he can empower himself with spatial power to deal with the situation.

In the former case, even if the gun-wielding ability user is transferred away, Bai Ye himself will still have to face Lang Ao directly...

Even if the gun-wielding superhumans launch an attack and bombard Lang Ao with artillery fire, Bai Ye will inevitably be swept into the shockwave of the explosion.

As a human evolved being, Bai Ye's defensive capabilities and recovery speed are far inferior to those of Lang Ao, an ancient behemoth.

Unless this Tier 2 gun-wielding ability user intends to kill Bai Ye along with him...

Otherwise, the initiative in the battle will always be on Lang Ao's side!

Thinking of this, Lang Ao decided to continue to lie low, patiently waiting for the right moment to strike, while also occasionally peeking out half of his head to unleash his wolfish might on the Salvation Army members on the other side of the mountain to intimidate them.

It can also pinpoint the location of Lin Feng and others, and calculate the optimal attack route.

At this moment, Lin Feng and his companion successfully reached the right-hand hillside after crossing four or five vehicles, and began to run upwards under Bai Ye's cover.

As the altitude continued to rise, Lin Feng gained a wider field of vision and a more perfect shooting angle.

For Lin Feng, who originally wanted to attack the two giant wild wolves at the front of the group, he had to find an opportunity to avoid the slopes and boulders on both sides, as well as the obstruction of the convoy itself.

Nowadays, just by looking into the distance, you can see the silhouettes of the two giant beasts.

A high vantage point offers the best angle for long-range attacks, eliminating the need to consider the energy loss from the projectile's trajectory.

Moreover, the wider field of fire allows Lin Feng to find the best shooting angle and lock onto the target he wants to strike.

Among these three giant wild wolves, the strongest, Wolf Big, is at level 23 and only needs one step to enter the mid-stage of the second tier.

Therefore, Wolf Da poses the greatest threat to Lin Feng.

Once that happens, let him use Han Tao or other opportunities to advance to the mid-stage of the second tier...

Faced with the resurgent and powerful army of the Wilderness Wolves, Lin Feng and his chariots alone would certainly not be able to withstand the simultaneous attack of Lang Ao and Lang Da.

Therefore, when faced with a choice, the best option is to kill the weakest wolf, Wolf Three, and Wolf One.

This giant wolf, which was only at the 21st level of evolution, probably never imagined that it would survive because of its weak strength.

On the other hand, Lin Feng chose to kill Wolf Big because this guy had been hiding half a body length behind Wolf Three in the attack formation of the two giant wild wolves.

It was clear that Wolf Ao had ordered the two of them to continue their attack and rush to the front of the Salvation Army to draw the human gun-wielding superhumans into attacking, thus creating an opportunity for Wolf Ao.

The result of doing so would naturally be the same as before: the two giant wolf beasts would be hit by the Annihilation Cannon, and at best they would be seriously injured, and at worst they would be on the verge of death.

The main reason is that the distance is close enough.

The Salvation Army's main convoy was only about 400 meters long. The second-tier human gun-wielding ability users were positioned 200 meters in the middle, while the two giant wild wolves were attacking from 100 meters in front of the convoy.

After a few exchanges, the distance between the two sides was only three or four hundred meters, which was already the critical point for the shells to lock on. The supersonic shells could hit the two giant wolf beasts in just one second.

There was simply no time to react.

So Wolf Big, who was well aware of this, deliberately pushed Wolf Three, who was a little smaller than himself, to the front.

In fact, as long as you get close enough to the Salvation Army's breakout combat squad, you can avoid being hit by the Annihilation Cannon.

After all, besides Bai Ye's key subordinates, the vanguard also included Xu Wanfeng, the president of the Hunting Wilderness Guild. Out of concern for their safety, Lin Feng would not act rashly.

Unfortunately, Wolf Big's cleverness backfired. He didn't think of this and instead used Wolf Three as his shield, intentionally retreating behind him.

However, what it did not expect was that Lin Feng and his companion would move their position to the hillside.

From his elevated position, Lin Feng could easily lock onto the Wolf Giant further back with his Annihilation Cannon, and even leap over the smaller Wild Wolf Beast blocking its path.

As Bai Ye prepared, he placed dozens of spatial nodes on Lin Feng, instantly enveloping him in spatial energy. Lin Feng then locked onto his target and pulled the trigger in one swift motion!
As the trigger is pulled, the firing pin, propelled by the spring, strikes the primer of the thermal extinguishing gun. The burning gunpowder instantly expands the air, converting it into enormous thrust within the sealed barrel.

This allows solid projectiles weighing several kilograms to travel at supersonic speeds straight towards their target.

The moment the cannonball left the barrel, sparks flew from the muzzle as Lin Feng sprinted towards the mountaintop!

Wolf Ao, who was prepared, launched an attack the instant he sensed the vibration of the cannon barrel.

From a hundred meters behind Lin Feng and his companion, they leaped over the mountain and charged towards their target.

At the same time, Bai Ye's eyes shone brightly, as if divine light had descended, and he manipulated the surrounding space to continuously expand, creating distance between himself and the attacking ancient behemoth.

Seizing the opportunity, just before Lang Ao pounced, Lin Feng launched himself forward with a final kick, detonating the spatial nodes on Lang Ao's body.

Teleportation, instantaneous appearance!
