Wasteland: My items are infinitely upgraded.

Chapter 328: After meticulous planning, Wolf Ao is severely injured; the outcome is decided!

After being enveloped by spatial abilities, Lin Feng felt as if he had been detached from his original space and entered nothingness, before returning to the real world.

From the outside, the armored warrior who had jumped off the ground suddenly flashed, and the surrounding space rapidly contracted into a ball, rippling with creases, before closing completely.

It's like creating an energy vortex in space, sweeping away everything in that area.

However, in the next moment, the vanished object reappeared with the vortex and jumped out of it.

The time interval between the events is almost zero.

Lin Feng leaped from the rocky top of the slope and went directly to a height of over 100 meters above the mountaintop, where he had a panoramic view of the entire valley and the mountains on both sides.

Combined with the upward momentum, he continued to rise, and at this moment he was 150 meters away from his original starting point.

From this vantage point, more than 500 meters from the valley, came the ancient giant wolf, Lang Ao, pouncing from behind...

It landed precisely at its starting point.

If Bai Ye's spatial power had been even a fraction of a second slower, Lin Feng would have either bumped into Lang Ao or just jumped to a spot not far above its head.

With just one kick, the latter could stretch its neck and swallow Lin Feng whole.

At this moment, Lin Feng was a full 100 meters away from Lang Ao, and his cannon was already aimed at the target.

The plan is to pull the trigger of the long cannon only when the inertia of its upward ascent is flattened by the planet's gravity and it begins to fall.

This allows the inertia to maintain the airborne state.

It can also deliver a fatal blow to Lang Ao.

The ancient behemoth, which was 25 meters long, sensed the location of its target immediately after its attack missed, which was only 100 meters above its head.

Unfortunately, at this distance, Lang Ao simply cannot reach it by jumping.

Because of insufficient speed, the speed of a standing jump is insufficient to unleash full power and make the most of the inertia of acceleration. In addition, the second-tier behemoth has a terrifying weight of hundreds of tons. Even though Wolf Ao is a peak second-tier evolved form, when jumping from a standing position, he can only jump up to three times his own height at most.

Lang Ao's own shoulder height is only about fifteen meters, and even three times that is less than fifty meters.

Even if you stretch your neck, you can't reach the height Lin Feng is talking about right now.

And most importantly, regardless of whether Lang Ao jumps up at this moment to continue the pursuit...

All Lin Feng has to do is pull the trigger of the long cannon in his hand, and the powerful Annihilation Cannon will deliver a devastating blow to Lang Ao.

Especially when the lumbar and cervical vertebrae are hit...

With a head of bronze, a tail of iron, and a waist of tofu, whether it is the canines of the past or the wolves of today, the weakest part of their body is the spine at the waist and tail.

Once damaged, the injury can range from a loss of mobility, leaving the victim only able to crawl on their forelimbs, to an immediate death.

From Lin Feng's 100-meter-high vantage point, when the shells were fired, they would be outside the blast radius of the Annihilation Cannon; at most, the shockwave would spread over.

But a hundred meters away, the shockwave weakens to just a heat wave.

It might cause shock damage to ordinary living beings, but it wouldn't have much of an effect on a second-tier evolved being, especially one wearing power armor.

Even if Lang Ao were to jump directly to close the distance, the cannonball would be like a heavy punch, pinning him to the ground. Then, with a violent explosion and temperatures of thousands of degrees, it would tear through the mane and iron armor on his body, carbonize his flesh, shatter his steel wolf bones, and destroy the internal organs in his abdomen.

What's even more frustrating is that once Lang Ao jumps, he will lose the ability to change his body shape. In mid-air, he has no leverage point, and his movement trajectory is all within Lin Feng's prediction.

So at this moment, Wolf Ao was caught in a dilemma. So it decisively chose to continue its attack on the human after the Salvation Army leader, Bai Ye, chose to save the human gun-wielding ability user, as planned.

Lin Feng's cannon was already aimed at Lang Ao. Once the trigger was pulled, it would only take about half a second for the shell to hit the target...

Wolf Ao only had half a second to react.

The next moment, Lang Ao decisively turned around, neither continuing his attack on Lin Feng nor fleeing to the back of the hillside to hide...

Instead, he rushed straight towards Bai Ye, who was originally not far from Lin Feng!

Originally, Bai Ye was only twenty or thirty meters away from Lin Feng, and the two walked almost side by side.

The main point is that to activate the spatial warp capability, you also need to be close enough to the target.

This distance restriction prevented Bai Ye from getting too far away from Lin Feng, which became the key for Lang Ao to break the deadlock.

As long as you get close enough to Bai Ye so that the heat wave and high-temperature shockwave from the explosion can reach him, the gun-wielding superhumans in the air above will definitely have something to worry about.

Fearing the consequences, this is Lang Ao's only chance of survival, as he is now trapped in a desperate situation.

At the moment when Lang Ao turned to bite, it also accurately sensed the hesitation of the gun-wielding superhuman above and did not pull the trigger immediately.

There was no high temperature from the burning gunpowder inside the cannon barrel.

This means that Lang Ao made the right bet.

The other party dared not risk Bai Ye's life.

After all, Bai Ye, as the leader of the Salvation Army, is not only a powerful second-tier peak evolver, but also the hope and sustenance in the eyes of this group of people.

It is also the key to whether Oasis Town can defeat the Wasteland Wolves.

The trouble that would result from dying at the hands of humans would be far greater than the serious injury to Lang Ao.

On the other hand, after fighting Bai Ye multiple times, Lang Ao had gained a deep understanding of this legendary second-tier peak evolver who held the title of Queen of the Sky.

Although Bai Ye's spatial ability is weak in terms of offensive power and is mainly used for evasion and repositioning, it also has a major flaw.

That is the gap in utilizing spatial power, and it is not a constant value.

Instead, it will change depending on how much spatial power is released.

The more you release, the longer the buffer period there will be before you can use it again. The less you release, especially in your own situation, the less time there will be, and you can release it continuously without any interval.

Previously, when Lang Ao made his first attack to seize Li Hao, a Rock Horse Warrior who had advanced to the late stage of the second tier, he was hit from a distance by a human gun-wielding ability user.

Hit two kilometers apart, Lang Ao could have easily dodged the attack if not for the close proximity of the town's leader, the acting bishop of the Vatican.

That time, the latter was able to avoid the shockwave damage from the explosion and escape the area covered by high temperature because Bai Ye activated his spatial transfer ability at that moment.

Although Lang Ao suffered severe injuries afterward, he did not fall into a coma.

Therefore, its perception of the battlefield situation remained intact. Thus, it keenly sensed that although Bai Ye had used his spatial abilities to protect the second-tier peak experts of the Lower Church, he himself remained nearby.

They did not escape the blast radius with the bishop who was being transferred.

Although she was located a bit far from the epicenter of the explosion, she wouldn't be greatly affected even without using spatial teleportation...

But the shockwave, carrying with it a heat wave, still made her lose her balance and almost caused her to fall from mid-air to the ground.

This means that Bai Ye's spatial ability cannot be used again immediately after initiating a long-distance spatial transfer.

In other words, at this very moment...

After transferring his companion, who was a gun-wielding ability user, Bai Ye was no longer able to use the power of his inner space to easily escape Lang Ao's pursuit as before.

Therefore, the gun-wielding ability user who was suspended in mid-air was also unable to pull the trigger and fire the shell after the White Night teleportation.

He could only watch as Lang Ao relentlessly pursued Bai Ye, allowing himself to slowly land, wasting such a golden opportunity to attack...

Facing the gaping maw of the ancient giant wolf, Bai Ye, as the Queen of the Sky, only managed to shift her position and retreat ten meters to the side to avoid the wolf's mouth full of fangs that exuded death. She did not use spatial teleportation and quickly fled more than a hundred meters away...

Just as Lang Ao had thought.

After unleashing his spatial abilities to the fullest extent, Bai Ye was unable to use spatial power for a short period of time.

If I keep pursuing them, I might still have a chance to kill them!
But in the very next moment!
To Lang Ao's surprise, Bai Ye, who had dodged the attack using the remaining spatial power within his body, did not dodge again after arriving beside him...

As if he had been prepared, he conjured a two-meter-long metal spear in his hand.

The nozzle was also wrapped in a layer of oilcloth.

In the past, Lang Ao would not have been able to sense anything, but now the spear was right next to him, less than a meter away, almost touching his extremely vulnerable lower abdomen...

Even though Bai Ye had used spatial power to completely shield his aura beforehand, at such close range, Lang Ao could clearly feel that the spearhead was emitting the wolf king aura that he was extremely familiar with!
In addition, there is an evil energy that terrifies even it.

A bizarre energy comparable to the curse of the blazing sun!

Bai Ye was able to perfectly deceive Lang Ao entirely because of his spatial ability to block the armor-piercing wolf spear, and he also used the principle of light refraction to make the spear placed behind the power armor disappear from Lang Ao's line of sight.

It was like magic.

It can be seen from another angle, but when viewed from the front, it disappears without a trace.

All this buildup was for this moment, to find the perfect opportunity and angle, to wield the armor-piercing wolf spear, and to launch a fatal blow against Lang Ao.

At this moment, after transferring the level 26 armor-piercing wolf spear, which was covered in wolf king cells and coated with a large amount of third-tier mutant flesh, into his hand...

Bai Ye didn't even have time to remove the tarpaulin from the spearhead before he slashed directly at Lang Ao's ten-meter-tall lower abdomen.

At this moment, the explosive force of nearly a hundred tons from the peak second-tier evolver, combined with the forward momentum of Lang Ao's own pounce, erupted into the most intense collision between the spearhead and the fine steel wolf skin.

The sparse steel wolf fur on the surface was cut off directly, and the oilcloth on the gun tip was also torn off in the process.

The next moment, the spearhead, forged from a level 26 refined steel wolf fang, gleamed with a cold light, pierced through the outer layer of the ancient giant wolf's skin, tearing a wound several tens of centimeters deep.

And with the immense force of the hundred-ton manipulator Bai Ye, it continued to penetrate deeper into Lang Ao's body.

After tearing through the flesh and blood tissue beneath the skin, the alloy ribs that house the internal organs are further split.

At this moment, the entire spearhead, nearly eighty centimeters long, had penetrated deep into Lang Ao's body!

The flesh and blood tissue smeared on it, the wolf king cells that had already been infected by the flesh and blood of the third-order aberration, and the third-order contaminant from the evil god itself were all applied to both sides of the wound cleaved open by the spearhead.

While inflicting severe damage on Lang Ao, it also left behind an indelible, bone-deep poison.

At that very moment, Lang Ao not only felt the tearing pain of his abdomen being split open, but also a sharp, stabbing pain as if he were being pricked by needles.

It appears on the flesh and blood tissue on both sides of the laceration.

These cells, torn apart by the sharp edge of the gun, became the best nourishment for the mutated flesh and blood, and they rapidly proliferated and divided after being absorbed.

The mutated tissues that had prematurely devoured the early-stage third-tier cells of the Wolf King had already fully fused with the cellular genes of the wolf clan…

They evolved into mutated cells with disguises, easily deceiving the immune cells, including white blood cells and macrophages, that rushed to the wolf's lower abdomen wound through blood vessels.

Although these immune cells can recognize foreign, ordinary, abnormal cells and pass on their recognition information to more powerful T cells, they cannot detect the monsters already lurking around them.

These mutated wolf cells, disguised as wolf foes, evaded the immune system and spread rapidly throughout Lang Ao's body via blood circulation.

Moreover, it lies dormant in different parts of the body, and like cancer cells, it begins to devour normal flesh and blood, constantly proliferating and dividing until it turns the host into one of its own kind.

It was this stinging pain that prevented Lang Ao from reacting immediately in his moment of shock.

After successfully landing a blow, Bai Ye decisively mobilized the spatial power within his body, and with the Armor-Piercing Wolf Spear in hand, he instantly dodged to a distance of more than ten meters behind and to the side of Lang Ao.

And it sent a signal to the forest wind overhead.

Having received the signal, Lin Feng, who was already on his way down, pulled the trigger to the other side of the ancient giant wolf beneath him.

The cannon was aimed at Lang Ao's side, mainly to avoid the impact of the explosion affecting Bai Ye.

At the same time, it also keeps Lang Ao alive, making it less likely for him to die.

In reality, for Lin Feng and Bai Ye...

The threat from the Wasteland Wolves cannot disappear so quickly; at least, we must wait until both caravans are far from Oasis Town.

Otherwise, once the Papacy's support from the Holy City arrives,

There's still a chance they might turn their backs on you.

If the Wild Wolf Clan led by Lang Ao were still around, the person who takes over as the administrator of Oasis Town would have to think twice about whether they are willing to accept the outcome of the two fighting and the third party reaping the benefits.

Furthermore, Lin Feng and Bai Ye can also serve as bait to completely lure away the threat posed by the Wilderness Wolf Clan.

For Lin Feng personally, he plans to make money through the evolution path of the Wild Wolf in the future, and he doesn't want Wolf Ao to die so soon.

Without Lang Ao, the Wilderness Wolf Clan is like a scattered pile of sand, unable to amount to anything, and easily becomes a hunting target for second-tier evolved beings.

When the Wasteland Wolf Clan is torn apart, even ordinary forces or Tier 2 squads will be able to easily obtain advanced evolution resources from the Wasteland Wolves.

As Lin Feng pulled the trigger, the Annihilation Cannon accurately struck Lang Ao's side, delivering a powerful explosive impact and signaling the end of the battle!
Wolf Ao is seriously injured; the outcome is already decided!
