Chapter 949: Battle of Type 5 Mutant Beasts!
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Another huge Type 4 Mutant Black Ice Turtle opened its huge mouth to spit freezing breath towards the human camps. Upon contact, the humans immediately froze into ice sculptures.
The moment these Type 4 Mutant Beasts entered the fray, the tides of the battle changed immediately. The human soldiers were defeated one after another and scattered like raindrops, forced to retreat.
The bombardment of the heavy artillery did not stop, nor did the cannons and heavy machine guns. They continued to fire at the incoming horde of Mutant Beasts.
It was true that the moment these sea-based creatures came on land, their abilities would suffer a drastic drop. Their speed would not be as fast as it was in the water, even the Type 4 Mutant Beasts would rarely reach the speed of sound.
However, even with that handicap, many of them still could surpass the human running speed. They charged forward and quickly used their claws and teeth to tear the human soldiers apart.
Under the lead of the Type 4 Mutant Beasts, the human defense lines started to crumble, while the soldiers retreated in droves.
Tanks and armored vehicles were stomped flat and destroyed, becoming useless piles of metal. A number of human soldiers were directly swallowed or ripped apart.
Once the army realized they were helpless, the soldiers of Pyongyang began to fall apart, forming a tide that surged back in retreat. Many soldiers threw aside their armor and fled for their lives.
As the number of fleeing soldiers increased, even the orders of the commanders were no longer effective.
Almost every soldier was escaping right now, with only a rare few still putting up a brave fight, attacking the Mutant Beasts every now and then. However, such a resistance was deemed futile, and those courageous soldiers were met with a quick death as well.
The human resistance was being destroyed in multiple areas, before finally crumbling totally.
Various armored vehicles containing the high-ranking commanders began to flee back, as soldiers threw their weapons and equipment. In order to flee, they did not care about the others and caused some to be stampeded over. Injuries and the death toll quickly mounted.
"Shit, Pyongyang is going to be finished like this."
Yue Zhong glanced at the horde of Sea Mutant Beasts making their way over, and frowned, before making a decision, "Head to the northeast."
Although there were some Mutant Beasts over at the northeast side, it was also where they were the weakest. Only by breaking out of the siege would Yue Zhong be able to lead his convoy back into China.
The machine gun vehicles and cannons began to fire out madly at the Mutant Beasts as they charged for the northeast.
With the dense barrage of metal, many low-level Mutant Beasts were shredded apart.
At the same time, White Bones charged first as the vanguard, twisting around with its countless bone blades. It managed to tear many Mutant Beasts into slices in showers of blood and flesh. Not a single beast was its match.
Yue Zhong pulled out 2 Electromagnetic Cannons and fired out constantly, blasting the heads of those Type 3 Mutant Beasts that got too close, fresh blood and brain matter splattering everywhere.
Yue Zhong and White Bones were handling the high-level Mutant Beasts, while the heavy firearms dealt with the low-level Mutant Beasts, easily clearing them.
Just like this, the convoy proceeded to slaughter their way through the Mutant Beast horde.
Just as they were about to break out of the siege successfully, a dozen huge Type 2 Profound Ice Fishes opened their mouths, firing out ice shards that fell like rain upon the convoy.
Under the bombardment of ice shards, a number of machine gun vehicles were slammed out of shape, some even nailed to the ground.
One of the fuel-carrying trucks was also struck by the ice shards, and fuel began to pour out of it.
Yue Zhong flipped his hands and a number of electromagnetic beams fired out onto the Type 2 Profound Ice Fishes, accurately slaughtering them.
After he dealt with them, he frowned and thought to himself, "Damn it, it's not enough. If we blindly charge through, I can barely save a few."
This time, the onslaught of the Mutant Beasts was not any less than that of the zombies in Seoul. Furthermore, they had countless abilities like ice, water, electricity, poison, bones, activating them could cause Yue Zhong greatly.
"We can only do it like this."
He made the decision and activated his Summon Tamed Beast, and the Type 5 Mount Tai that had left them not long ago reappeared through a void.
When Type 5 Mount Tai appeared, it became like a huge steamroller that squashed all the Mutant Beasts. With every single step it took, an entire patch of Mutant Beasts would be squashed under it. As it swung its tail to and fro, a number of Pyongyang structures came crumbling down together with the Mutant Beasts.
When the ice shards, freezing breaths, lightning bolts, poison shots and bone spikes hit Mount Tai's body, only the lightning bolts managed to cause some superficial charred marks. The freezing breaths might be able to cause a layer of ice over the affected part of Mount Tai, but the moment it moved, the tremor was enough to shatter the ice. The ice shards were unable to penetrate its body, not even making it past the scales. It was the same for the bone spikes and the poison globs.
Unless it was an attack by a Type 3 Mutant Beast and above, all other attacks posed no danger whatsoever to Mount Tai. Even the attacks of a Type 3 or Type 4 would just injure it slightly before its freakish regeneration ability helped to recover.
All of a sudden, Mount Tai let out an earthshaking roar towards the skies, as a powerful pressure emitted from its body outwards.
Facing that overwhelming pressure, the low-level Mutant Beasts were all terrified, quickly fleeing in all directions, not daring to attack Mount Tai any longer.
There was a huge difference in their levels after all. Mount Tai was a Type 5, and a water-based Mutant Beast to boot, hence it could naturally suppress the rest of them.
With that single roar, the convoy managed to break out successfully.
When the North Korean convoy saw Yue Zhong killing a path out, they changed directions from random fleeing to chasing after him.
One of the fleets managed to follow after and broke through the siege.
Another fleet made its way south.
Among the invading Mutant Beasts, the beautiful Sea Clan Queen looked on as Yue Zhong's convoy broke through the siege, her eyes flashing with a strange glint. Her lips parted, and a strange whistle emitted.
Hearing that whistle, the Type 5 Mutant Sea Snake finally could not repress its killing intent any longer and charge towards Mount Tai.
Within the vast seas, every single Type 5 Mutant Beast was an overlord, possessing their own territory. They would not encroach on other territories easily. The moment they saw another similar-rank Beast, both parties would go all out in a clash, consuming the other in order to advance and evolve. Only Type 6 and Type 7 Mutant Beasts were able to suppress that instinct.
When the Type 5 Sea Snake saw Type 5 Mount Tai, it was filled with killing intent, and an urge to consume. If it was not for the Sea Clan Queen holding it back, it would have pounced forward long ago.
Along the way, the Mutant Beasts all parted to one side, allowing the Type 5 Sea Snake a clear path.
Those that did not manage to get out of the way were squashed.
Mount Tai could also feel the killing intent locked on itself, and after it swung its tail to flatten a group of Mutant Beasts into meat paste, it turned around and charged right at the Type 5 Mutant Sea Snake.
If it were a close-quarter combat, Mount Tai had a better chance of victory.
The Type 5 Sea Snake was obviously experienced, from far, it already opened its huge jaws to fire out its innate ability. A dense fog of poison shot out at Mount Tai like cannon balls.
When the balls of poison slammed into Mount Tai, they dispersed and started to corrode the scales of Mount Tai, giving off a sizzling sound. A huge chunk of flesh was also corroded away, and the worst thing was that its powerful regeneration ability could not do a thing.
Numerous balls slammed into Mount Tai's body, and a number of smaller Mutant Beasts were unfortunate to be caught in the crossfire, instantly melting into puddles.
Facing the assault, Mount Tai roared out in agony, but it continued its charge at the Type 5 Sea Snake.
As it forcefully bore the attack and reached the Type 5 Sea Snake, its powerful tail slammed into the Sea Snake's body violently.
The Type 5 Sea Snake shuddered violently and spat out a huge amount of blood.
It then immediately twisted its body to pounce on Mount Tai, coiling around it and constricting it, intending to squeeze Mount Tai to death.
Mount Tai also bit down viciously on the body of the Sea Snake, biting out a huge bloody chunk, as fresh blood flowed everywhere.
