Though sounding like a musician whose art appeals only to the select few, that Contractor never lost heart and continued to wave his hands and shout: "Without a doubt, the Viper Wolves from the first two or three waves are certain to arrive, because the sonic boom and impact generated by the crash landing of this massive iron behemoth behind us enraged them; it might have even destroyed their nests. As for the Pterosaur, its visit is most likely due to curiosity—the thick black smoke rising from the engine is an extremely noticeable marker." "Shut up, idiot......." "Hold your tongue, or I won't hesitate to use a bullet to quiet you." "Friend, listen to me for a second...
shut up!" "Bang!~~~~~ Next time, I'll aim for your head." Fang Senyan heard the Contractor's words, and his gaze sharpened. He walked over to the Contractor and said: "Hey, friend, your theory sounds quite novel." The Contractor, currently quite dejected, shook his head helplessly: "It's just basic common sense, really.
The initial attraction for these terrifying beasts should have been their curiosity and anger. But all living creatures have only two inherent instincts: to live and to reproduce—now, I worry that what attracts the next wave of beasts to arrive is an even stronger pull—the flesh and blood from this battlefield is the most potent bait!" "The most frightening thing is that if the battle continues for too long, a chain reaction will occur...
meaning, the more we kill, the more flesh and blood we create, and the more beasts will come to hunt!" Fang Senyan pondered for a moment and immediately said: "You make a lot of sense—you're a Summoner who specializes in Charisma, aren't you?" The Contractor nodded regretfully: "Yes, unfortunately, my most powerful child died in the previous world." "Child?" Fang Senyan was slightly surprised, but he quickly realized this must be the nickname the Contractor used for his summoned creatures. He glanced at the man before him: "I am Sailor.
What is your name?" "Margie. A pleasure to meet you, Mr.
Sailor." Fang Senyan said a few words in the team channel, and then Reef jumped to a nearby high spot and clapped his hands—as the most powerful MT in the West Sector, his words clearly carried significant weight, enough to settle the matter. "I absolutely hate this damned planet; yes, I confirm it again.
This is a wretched place where even the air is toxic, a place where you can't even breathe freely! So, brothers who just fought alongside me, lend me a hand!
Help me bury these bloody corpses blocking the front. Who knows what lethal toxins might emanate from these bodies?
Damn it, I don't want to die inexplicably poisoned while holding off elite creatures!" Once Reef spoke up, Mogen Sha and Fang Senyan naturally supported him. With someone taking the lead and Reef possessing sufficient strength and prestige, the others quickly followed suit.
Everyone present were Contractors, different from ordinary people, and despite lacking proper tools, they quickly dug several deep pits dozens of meters away and buried all the creatures' bodies. When the diggers returned to the western entrance of the ship, only faint traces of blood remained on the battlefield floor.
Mogen Sha casually tossed out a high-yield incendiary grenade, instantly engulfing the area in a sea of fire. When the flames died down, the ground was scorched white.
Of course, for beasts with keen senses of smell, the residual bloodstains and scents remained like guiding beacons. After all, for them, smell was an indispensable survival skill, much like a driver's license or a computer in modern society.
But never forget, Fang Senyan and his group were only one of the four battlefronts! To put it plainly, as long as the attraction rate caused by their sector was significantly lower than the other fronts, the pressure they faced would naturally decrease accordingly.
At this point, Reef spoke in the team channel: "Boss, the drop rate on these beasts is quite excellent, and they're yielding a lot of high-quality rare materials... As of now, both of us have collected over ten thousand Universal Points at least, and a pale blue key that just dropped even yielded three Potential Points after opening it." Fang Senyan said coldly: "I know what you mean, you want to rake in more, right?
For now, these creatures pose little threat to us. But never forget, our enemies aren't just these native beasts!
If we reveal all our trump cards here... then, 'the tree that stands out in the forest will be felled by the wind!'" Reef's expression changed, and he sighed.
He was ultimately just a competent warrior, only able to consider problems on a purely linear level. Fang Senyan, however, analyzed things from the level of human nature, placing him far above.
Just then, the next wave of the beast tide charged in from the distance. This time, the tide shockingly included terrifying giant beasts as large as road rollers!
This type of giant beast had interwoven wavy stripes of indigo and orange across its body. Its head resembled a hybrid of a wild bull and an armored stegosaurus, but the muscles on its body bulged and protruded in knots, filled with explosive power.
Even kilometers away, one could feel the "thump-thump" sound generated by its massive hooves striking the ground, like a dull, impactful drumbeat resonating violently with the blood and internal organs of men! Fang Senyan's eyes flashed: "This thing is..." He was about to scan it when a Contractor stationed on a high vantage point for scouting immediately reported the data.
Judging by the faint silver glow emanating from the telescope he held, it was likely a Silver-grade quest item. Immediately, a miniature 3D topographical data map appeared before everyone: Urmbee (Tier Two Legendary Creature) English: urmbee Narn: ling, Scientific Name: bvindium mnerii Height: 5 meters Weight: Over 10 tons Description: A giant terrestrial beast on Pandora.
5 meters tall and weighing over ten tons, omnivorous, highly irritable and easily startled. Strength: 39 Agility: ??
Stamina: 10 Spirit: ?? Intelligence: ??
Legendary Creature Ability: Skin of the Earth Lv4. Grants the owner an additional 15000 HP / Lv4 additional effect grants the owner an extra 5000 HP.
Legendary Creature Ability: Iron Will Lv1. Most slow, charm, and control effects are poorly effective against creatures possessing this ability.
Biological Ability: Furious Charge. Inflicts terrifying base damage + bleed damage + knockback on enemies.
Once initiated, it cannot be stopped (immune to control effects during activation / this effect takes priority). The farther the charge distance, the greater the power.
Biological Ability: War Stomp. Heavily stomps the ground, emitting a powerful shockwave that deals damage equal to (Urmbee Strength - Target Strength) * 10% to all enemies within range, while inflicting a 35% movement speed and attack speed reduction.
Spatial Battlefield Bonus: Grants this creature an additional 300,000 HP. Undoubtedly, this creature was at least one tier higher than the Mountain Troll—a Legendary Creature.
This thing, let alone Reef, could not be withstood head-on at this stage, even by that Akaphil who used the tower shield! And the Spatial Battlefield Bonus of 300,000 HP was quite normal.
Otherwise, a standard volley from over sixty ranged Contractors would inflict at least four thousand points of overall attack output. Without the extra bonus, this Urmbee would only last about ten seconds.
But with these extra 300,000 HP, it meant that the Contractors could not take down this behemoth in a short time, which in turn meant the defense perimeter they set up was bound to be broken apart chaotically! Just as everyone was exchanging worried glances, they saw that when the beast tide surging in the distance approached within a kilometer, it suddenly split into two dense black masses from the main body.
Each was led by an elite Viper Wolf noticeably larger than the others, heading towards the defense circles at the south and north gates respectively. Faced with this surprisingly welcome situation, the Contractors defending the west side couldn't help but cheer.
Then, an even more reassuring sight appeared: many Viper Wolves ran over to the spot where the previous Contractor had buried the corpses and began digging them up. Their movements were swift; dirt flew out like rain, and these fierce, greedy creatures began snatching up the corpses to devour them.
With this diversion, the beast horde following behind the Urmbee became sparse. Seeing that their pre-prepared plan was working, Reef immediately shouted: "Spread out, spread out!
I'll hold the smaller mobs behind me. All ranged attacks concentrate fire on this behemoth's left foreleg!
Maximize slow effects on it; do not target its head directly!" While directing the battle, Reef was already encased in a shimmering crystal shield, clearly having cast the "Armor of Conviction" on himself. He gripped his shield and took the lead, standing at the forefront.
Fang Senyan naturally followed right beside him, ready to provide support at any moment. At this difficulty level, the chance of Reef being knocked into critical health upon first contact wasn't high, but if unlikely events occurred—such as a crushing blow combined with defense negation and multiple critical hits—then Fang Senyan would have to pull him out immediately.
Two hundred meters. One hundred meters!
This distance was already within the effective range of most ranged Contractors. Fang Senyan could clearly see the deep textures of the Urmbee's thick hide, resembling the cracked gullies of dried-up paddy fields, with black, rope-like parasites wriggling within.
Its bulging tendons moved beneath the tough skin, and the white vapor it snorted from its nostrils stretched over a meter long!
