Absolute Death Game-Chapter 533 - 21: No Way Forward, Pursuers Behind

Clearly, brute force wasn't working for them; since headshots didn't lead to death, they decided to instead hinder their movement. With that in mind, Li Yue blasted away at the corpse's knee joints, and indeed, without the support of its legs, the body wobbled and fell to the ground. However, it continued to crawl forward, using the strength of its arms, which made Li Yue feel like his head was going to explode with discomfort.

"Bang!" The sound of a sniper rifle, even through the screen, was exceptionally clear. The head of a Corpse-driving Warlock burst open like a watermelon. Correspondingly, the bodies on the ground instantly lost their mobility.

"Captain, barriers cleared, how was that? My shooting's not bad, right?" Hearing the relaxed voice through the earpiece, Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief; that shot had indeed been fired by a sniper in his team.

Just as everyone was letting out a sigh of relief, suddenly the scattered fragments of the shattered corpses on the battlefield began to move slowly of their own accord. Severed hands and feet seemed to have their own consciousness, struggling to piece themselves together, some even clearly from different individuals.

"What's going on..." Li Yue felt like crying. If what he had seen before could be understood as a Corpse-Driving Technique, what was happening now? Some kind of Corpse Assembling Spell?

The limbs quickly reassembled into disjointed and grotesque zombies that continued to advance. However, these zombies were clearly not as resilient as the reanimated corpses from before, and they could be scattered with just a couple of shots. Yet, the zombies didn't stop recombining even after being shot apart, and the cycle seemed endless, which was incredibly torturous psychologically. If you ignored these things, they would slowly move towards you and bite, and though they couldn't take off many health points, it was still very distressing.

This was exactly why Xiao Buli had sought out Bai Yunfei to come here. As a minor boss, while Bai Yunfei might not have been able to develop some mighty weapon, his purpose wasn't on the battlefield either. As long as he could confuse the enemy, slow them down, his goal would be achieved. His tricks were exactly what Xiao Buli needed.

At this moment, the Teleportation Portal

Standing on the high platform built over the Teleportation Portal, Huo Guangxiong watched the nearby battlefield without a hint of panic. Despite the major forces having been redeployed, there were less than five hundred players and several thousand Demon Clan soldiers near the Teleportation Portal, including the elite troops beneath his feet. Yet, in his view, with the absolute advantage of weaponry, this force was sufficient to hold off the unbounded thirty-thousand-strong army facing them.

To him, this thirty-thousand-strong army wasn't different from other allied armed forces on various front lines; they were all destined for defeat. If this operation was targeting his Teleportation Portal, then they definitely stood no chance of breaking through...unless...

Huo Guangxiong's eyes looked up to the sky, pondering the slim possibility of an aerial assault; he wondered whether those overambitious fools would be able to amass an airborne force.

At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds. However, judging by the density and distribution of the clouds, they were definitely not naturally formed, but more likely conjured by enemy spells. Thus, Huo Guangxiong became even more convinced of his own thoughts.

Suddenly, a dark shadow slowly approached from behind the thick clouds. Despite the dense cloud cover, the massive silhouette was unmistakeable. Huo Guangxiong kept his gaze fixed on the shadow as it drew nearer and nearer, breaking through the clouds swiftly, like lightning, and plunging straight toward the location of the Teleportation Portal. A sly grin appeared on Huo Guangxiong's lips—finally, they had arrived.

Down below, the defense forces also noticed the anomaly in the sky, and a commander immediately shouted down to the troops, "Quick, aim at the sky, fire!"

The troops of the Ancestral Dragon were well-trained, and at the commander's shout, hundreds of guns pivoted simultaneously and unleashed a barrage into the sky. Bullets rained down like a storm, and the Black Dragon, despite its swift movement, found no room to dodge amid the dense hail of gunfire. With no choice but to endure, its body sparked as it was hit, and thanks to its scale armor's formidable defense, each bullet caused only minor damage. Nevertheless, by the time the Black Dragon reached the ground, it had lost nearly half its health points from enduring hundreds or thousands of bullets. However, fortunately, due to the Black Dragon's cover, everyone on its back landed safely on the ground without injury.

Jump!

As soon as the Black Dragon descended to a safe height, the people on its back leaped down, their weapons spinning as they launched an attack on the surrounding gun-wielding players. The forty-person melee team was like a tiger entering a wolf pack, instantly turning the enemy soldiers into a chaos of bodies.

These soldiers, mainly following a hunter's path and with not much time spent playing the game, had very poor melee capabilities. Faced with these elite close-combat fighters, they had no chance to fight back.

"Retreat, quick retreat, raise the gates and unleash the hounds!" The commander shouted while retreating, blowing on a whistle to summon a spotted leopard. At that command, the other soldiers quickly came to their senses. After all, they were all hunters with pets of their own. Whistles blew one after another, and hundreds of creatures of various species burst out of the Beast Pen, joining the fray.
