anwhile, in that short amount of ti, the Bipedal Lizard swarm had penetrated the military’s second defensive line!
The so-called second line of defense was actually a suicide squad composed of the human clone armored troops—the "Human Bomb" squad!
Of course, this bomb was sowhat different from a typical bomb.
Wei Tian watched the human clone armored troops about to engage the Bipedal Lizards, a mysterious smile playing on his lips. He then took out a control device and operated it a couple of tis.
Then, Fang Wenhai and the others finally witnessed the power of the Science Academy!
...
When Wei Tian finished his operations, the Exoskeleton Armor on all the human clone warriors suddenly began to glow with red light!
The Bipedal Lizards, now very close, naturally didn’t understand the aning of this. Following their instincts, they shot out their tongues and swallowed the human clone warriors whole.
Then, CRACK!
It wasn’t the sound of an explosion, more like a bottle shattering.
The Bipedal Lizard that had ingested the human clone warrior convulsed, and thick black fluid gushed from its mouth.
This Bipedal Lizard, having ingested the "bomb," collapsed, its life signs vanishing in an instant.
Simultaneously, the Exoskeleton Armor on the remaining human clone warriors shattered. The force of the internal explosions propelled large quantities of black liquid in all directions, splashing onto nearby Bipedal Lizards.
Any Bipedal Lizard splashed by the black liquid instantly had a large hole corroded into its body! The liquid then seeped inside, entering its circulatory system.
Acting like a potent poison, the contaminated Bipedal Lizards collapsed one after another. They did not rise again, their life signs extinguished within monts!
Witnessing this, Fang Wenhai and the others on the city wall couldn’t help but swallow nervously. Wei Tian’s voice then slowly began to speak.
"Regarding our Science Academy’s research on this Bipedal Lizard swarm... how should I put it? We can’t claim it’s exhaustive, but we have a general understanding. Developing a species-specific poison... wasn’t too difficult! Besides, the real show is still to co!"
Wei Tian said this, his gaze fixed intently on the Bipedal Lizards below, as if studying a priceless treasure.
...
Bipedal Lizards have a peculiar characteristic: they consu the corpses of their fallen kin.
These "poisoned" Bipedal Lizards, naturally, could not escape this fate of being devoured by their own kind!
Consequently, the Bipedal Lizards that consud the "poisoned" ones also exhibited symptoms of poisoning, and were, in turn, eaten by others!
"Since they have this habit, we should exploit it, shouldn’t we? Unfortunately, this toxin is very difficult to produce and cannot be mass-manufactured. Otherwise, these Bipedal Lizards would be no threat at all!"
Wei Tian’s words brimd with confidence! This was faith in his expertise and in science itself!
Unfortunately, his next sentence imdiately revealed his true thoughts.
"They have leaders, so this toxin that spreads through consumption won’t be very effective. The rest is up to you."
As soon as Wei Tian finished speaking, he turned and walked down the city wall, heading towards the distant entrance of the treasure land.
Clearly, this man wasn’t part of the combat personnel; he was "retreating" first under the circumstances.
Fang Wenhai and the others had no objections. Besides, Wei Tian’s words soon proved true!
...
A Spiritual Fluctuation rapidly spread from a distance!
Upon hearing this command, which originated from a demon spawn, the Bipedal Lizards that had been mindlessly consuming the "poison" abruptly halted their actions!
Of course, those that had already ingested the poison were dood, but the Bipedal Lizards that hadn’t yet eaten the contaminated corpses imdiately abandoned them as if they were filth. They then charged towards the outpost at high speed once more.
Under the guidance of the demon spawn, these unintelligent Bipedal Lizards acted as if they had gained an auxiliary brain; naturally, they wouldn’t fall for such a crude trap again.
Seeing this, Fang Wenhai, on the city wall, imdiately drew his longbow and declared sternly,
"Next, it’s our turn!"
This was the military’s third line of defense: the outpost itself—a steel fortress comprised of various defensive installations, heavy weapons, and, most critically, countless military warriors!
...
When the first fifty-ter-long Bipedal Lizard crawled within range of the artillery, machine guns, and the few professionists on the city wall, the first large-scale war between Humans and Demon Fiends officially erupted!
The first to open fire were the Remodeled Heavy Machine Guns positioned on the city wall!
Amidst intense ROARING, countless shell casings went JINGLE JANGLE as they hit the ground. The bullets, imbued with powerful kinetic energy, sped towards the advancing Level 5 Bipedal Lizards!
Unfortunately, if the military’s mass-produced Hot Weapons could inflict fatal damage on a Level Five Demon Fiend, Lin Haifeng wouldn’t be so wary of the Demon Tribe!
The bullets struck the Bipedal Lizard’s body but were instantly deflected by its slick, leathery hide, having no effect whatsoever!
Only a massive barrage of concentrated fire could slightly impede its advance.
"The heavy machine guns are ineffective..."
Witnessing this, Fang Wenhai sighed, even though he had anticipated it.
This also ant that at this range, humanity’s Hot Weapons were largely useless!
Then...
Composing himself, Fang Wenhai declared loudly,
"All professionists, prepare!"
Hearing Fang Wenhai’s command, Shen Yi, standing nearby, quickly signaled the Magic Energy Mage Special Ops Team behind him. All mbers of the Magic Energy Mage Special Ops Team imdiately closed their eyes.
A peculiar wave of Energy Fluctuations enveloped the city wall.
Profession: Magic Energy Mage.
Ability One: Magic Energy Field (E-Class, Passive ability): A Magic Energy Mage is enveloped by a mysterious energy field. When casting abilities, this field reduces their stamina consumption by one percent and their cooldown ti (if applicable) by one percent. Multiple Magic Energy Fields can stack, but the effect only applies to Magic Energy Mages!
A solitary Magic Energy Field isn’t particularly impressive; in fact, its effect is almost negligible. This is the primary reason the ability is rated E-Class!
However, the words "can stack" imply this ability possesses enormous potential!
For an individual Magic Energy Mage, one Magic Energy Field reduces stamina consumption and cooldown ti by one percent. But what if there were one hundred Magic Energy Mages?
