91: Chapter 91 No Man's Land

"Caw!!!"

"Caw!!!"

Countless ravens let out answering shrieks, and immediately, the black cloud covering the sky began to split!

About five thousand ravens continued to scatter and dive toward the various crystal core towers, energy transmitters, and power nodes within the city.

The other five thousand, which included almost all the elites of Silver Rank and above, followed the Raven King like a black arrow, shooting straight toward the core of the Inner City!

Qin Ce hovered in mid-air, and seeing this scene, his heart sank abruptly.

Sure enough.

Their target really was the golden tower!

At this moment, those twelve golden towers had just finished their first round of attacks.

The runes on the towers were still flickering, and the muzzles were still emitting faint white smoke, evidently recharging for the second round of attacks.

But they had no time left.

The speed of the Raven Flock was too fast!

"Boom!!!"

Just as the Raven Flock entered range, the twelve golden towers fired simultaneously!

Twelve golden beams of light tore through the sky, blasting straight toward that black cloud!

That was a full-power strike of Gold Rank!

Wherever each beam of light passed, the air was torn apart, leaving behind a golden trail that lingered for a long time!

The Raven Flock charging at the very front had no time to dodge at all!

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—

The golden beams exploded within the Raven Flock like twelve brilliant fireworks!

Each beam of light claimed the lives of at least a dozen ravens!

Severed limbs, feathers, and blood exploded in the air, falling like rain!

At least two hundred ravens were killed in this volley!

But among them, three beams of light were aimed directly at the Raven King!

They came from three different directions, sealing off all possible escape routes for the Raven King!

However—

The Raven King moved. Its speed was incredibly fast!

The moment those beams were about to strike, its body made three sharp turns in the air, each movement unfathomable, like a ghost!

The three golden beams grazed past its body and struck the Raven Flock behind it!

Dozens more ravens were killed! But the Raven King remained unscathed!

Qin Ce's pupils contracted sharply. So fast!

Is this the speed of a Gold Rank Raven King?

He had seen it clearly; the angles and timing of those three attacks had definitely been meticulously calculated. Any Gold Rank ground beast would have certainly died.

But the Raven King had dodged it by sheer force!

Flying units were truly too agile. Especially Gold Rank flying units.

"Caw—!!!"

After dodging the attack, the Raven King let out an angry shriek!

That shriek was filled with killing intent and commands!

The next moment, the five thousand ravens behind it instantly scattered!

The originally dense formation turned into countless tiny black dots in the blink of an eye, covering the entire sky!

Spreading out like this, the golden towers could only kill a few at a time, greatly reducing their efficiency!

And the Raven King itself opened its huge beak—

Pfft! A mass of silver-gray thick mist erupted from its mouth!

Gold Rank Ink Feather!

That mist was completely different from the black Ink Feather Mist of the other ravens!

It was silver-gray, so thick it almost solidified, like a moving cloud that instantly enveloped the area within hundreds of meters around the Raven King!

The mist rolled and surged, obscuring all vision!

The Raven King's figure completely disappeared into the mist!

And just at this moment, the second wave of golden light arrived!

The twelve Gold Rank attacks fired simultaneously at that silver-gray mist mass this time!

The light plunged into the mist—

And then, everyone saw a scene that shocked them.

Those golden beams of light, capable of piercing a Mountain, actually began to disperse, weaken, and distort the moment they touched the mist!

Their radiance dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, their trajectories began to deviate, and their energy was crazily consumed within the mist!

In the end, not a single beam of light could penetrate that mass of mist!

The furthest one only penetrated less than ten meters before dissipating completely!

Qin Ce's pupils shrank to pinpricks.

This Gold Rank Ink Feather could actually directly neutralize crystal core attacks.

This meant that the attacks from the gold-level crystal core tower were basically ineffective against the Raven King!

And the Raven King could approach the golden towers without hindrance, then use its Ink Feather Mist to paralyze those towers one by one!

Damn it! Ravens, as a species, were the natural counter to crystal core energy weapons!

"Caw—!!!"

From within the silver-gray mist mass, the Raven King's triumphant shriek came.

The mist mass continued to move forward, crossing the Inner City wall and closing in on the twelve golden towers!

Behind it, the five thousand scattered ravens followed closely, like a moving black cloud pressing toward the Inner City core!

On the city wall, countless defenders looked in terror at the approaching silver-gray mist mass, at a loss for what to do.

Those Gold Rank Beast Tamers desperately released long-range attacks, trying to intercept that mist—

But all attacks, as soon as they plunged into the mist, disappeared like stones into the sea, with no further news.

No one could stop it. No one dared to approach it.

That mass of silver-gray mist was like a moving domain of death, approaching the final line of defense of Fengling City step by step.

Qin Ce watched this scene, his heart pounding wildly.

He knew that if the Raven King were allowed to approach those twelve golden towers, everything would be over.

Once the golden towers were paralyzed, the beast tide within the city would become completely uncontrollable.

Tens of thousands of mid-to-high-tier beasts would flood into the Inner City, and those high-end combat forces still entangled with Starlight-tier beasts would instantly fall into a desperate situation of being attacked from front and back.

By then, Fengling City would truly be finished.

...

At this time, those top experts of Star-Glow Rank and Bright Moon Level in the Inner City felt extremely aggrieved.

It was clearly just a Gold Rank beast, an existence they could usually kill with a wave of their hand.

Now, it had actually forced the entire city into such a situation!

Many people were filled with anger in their hearts.

Especially when seeing that the Raven King still dared to fly toward the Inner City.

Many people quietly wanted to guide the battle toward the direction of the Raven King.

They wanted to land a blow on the nearby Raven King during the battle.

However, those beasts in the beast tide that had broken through to Star-Glow Rank and above already possessed intelligence not inferior to humans.

The moment the Star-Glow Rank Beast Tamers made their move.

Those beasts would either attack the strategic strongholds they had just been fighting to protect, the command center, or the communications department.

Or they would directly launch even more ferocious offensives, leaving them unable to attend to anything else.

This entanglement at all costs was truly disgusting.

More importantly, the number of high-tier beasts this time still favored the beasts.

It was the beast side that had the upper hand.

Even if an individual Star-Glow Rank Beast Tamer was willing to sacrifice some strategic objectives to attack the Raven King.

But after the Raven King in the air sacrificed a portion of its ravens to block the damage, relying on the concealment of the Ink Feather Mist and the agility of its own flying unit, it would quickly move away from that area.

Thus, the Raven King drove straight into the Inner City territory just like that.
