A deep, trembling howl once again sounded from somewhere unknown around them, like a phantom, only to vanish effortlessly.
This sound was not made by the Lizardmen, nor by the beggars, and the distant Little Fierce wouldn’t produce such an unpleasant roar.
Yet, somehow ever since this battle began, this sound kept emerging, leaving Lin Yue with an odd feeling.
"What on earth is it?"
Unrelenting, Lin Yue blasted away yet another wave of Lizardmen crawling out of the ground with the Blast Crossbow Carriage Arrows, then opened the system panel and clicked on the manufacturing interface.
There’s still plenty of Blast Crossbow Carriage Arrows in stock.
But he also needed some new technological means to fortify this position.
Soon, amid a burst of white light, appeared eight objects on the ground, shining with metallic luster and featuring extremely advanced technology appearance — machine dogs!
Lin Yue quickly set these machine dogs to solar charging mode, allowing them to charge first.
So far, the Blast Crossbow Carriage Arrows should have blown apart and repelled around three to four hundred Lizardmen, and the surrounding treasure chests were, of course, piled up to a certain limit.
With a shotgun in hand, Lin Yue swiftly collected a large number of Copper Treasure Chests into his Storage Space, then returned to the very center of the battlefield.
He needed to be here to confront enemies that might charge in from any direction and extinguish them at the fastest speed!
Although the stone platform’s edge was now piled high with the corpses of Lizardmen, they seemed resolute in wanting to use sheer numbers to eliminate him, this command center’s Survivor.
Thus, the Lizardmen crawling out from the ground were, indeed, endless.
However, Lin Yue actually found it quite interesting.
The more that came, the more he wiped out, and the total number of Lizardmen would decrease — assuming their birth rate can keep up.
He glanced into the distance, Little Fierce continued unleashing devastation, having already killed hundreds of Lizardmen besieging him, now chasing the fugitives down to the fortress wall below, using its incredibly hard bone armor, crazily pounding the wall structure, even cracking part of it!
Yet the various weapons in the hands of Lizardmen and beggars hardly caused Little Fierce any significant harm, one could even say their attacks were akin to scratching an itch for Little Fierce, totally ineffective.
Lin Yue believed, unless the Lizardmen could use a vast amount of explosives to bombard Little Fierce, eliminating this rampaging combat vehicle wasn’t that easy.
Of course, Little Fierce wouldn’t give them this chance, not only possessing immense strength, but its short-range sprinting speed was also terrifying, evading explosives nearby and launched swift counterattacks against the Lizardmen with explosives in hand.
As for the machine dogs on both sides and Little Ice Lizards, the situation wasn’t too optimistic.
The sound of gunfire became sparse, no longer as dense as before, not due to the reduction of Lizardmen, but their ammo compartments didn’t have much left in stock.
The number of Lizardmen far exceeded the bullet count in their ammo compartments, even more emerging from within the walls, joined by beggars, making the enemy count even greater.
Even with eight on each side, the total number of Lizardmen they could eliminate was quite limited; faced with the wildly surging enemies, consistently fighting and retreating, if not for Little Fierce drawing so much enemy attention in the center area, their situation would be even tougher.
Yet, Lin Yue had already foreseen such a scenario, clearly aware of how events might unfold.
His strategy had been thought out before the battle began.
When deploying the machine dogs, he also set for these little fellows to swiftly return here after their ammo compartments were completely depleted, with Little Ice Lizards covering them until a full retreat.
Once the Lizardmen started preparing to charge, he’d drive the beach buggy to scatter a massive amount of gasoline around the main battlefield and ignite it, blocking all charging Lizardmen outside the ring of fire.
The Lizardmen would certainly opt to drill underground, then traverse the fiery blockade to attack.
Awaiting them would be a furious counterattack by the machine dogs with replenished ammo compartments.
Naturally, Little Ice Lizards wouldn’t miss such a hunting opportunity!
And the Blast Crossbow Carriage Arrows would unleash the most dazzling artillery fire at this moment!
The sound came again.
Even amidst this clamorous battlefield, Lin Yue could hear it clearly, more vividly than before.
He had a guess about what it might be, though he didn’t know where the sound was emanating from.
"Gigantic creature. It shouldn’t be wrong, the one that can make such a sound, and hasn’t been frightened away by the cannon fire, instead the sound grows louder. But where could it be?" For original chapters go to novel⸺fire.net
He’s already encountered giant creatures twice; whether it be the Ox-Carrier Serpent Dragon or Bone Worm Beast, they ended up as corpses under his hands.
And the Poison Celestial Dragon from the Secret Realm, he even eliminated two.
