Chapter 294: Snow

Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Snow

Mountain City Mountain.

Xiaoqi and the others desperately fired their guns at the charging Blood Breath Beasts.

BANG! BANG!

Unfortunately, the Blood Breath Beasts pushed through the barrage and charged forward anyway.

"We’re finished!"

Xiaoqi, Cloud Fish, and the others said, their voices trembling.

Just then, a blue light flashed across the sky. Heavy snow, like goose feathers, suddenly began to fall from the heavens, landing on Xiaoqi’s face.

The icy touch made her pause. She touched her face reflexively and said in astonishment.

"Is it snowing?"

At that moment, the surging tide of Blood Breath Beasts suddenly stopped.

"AWOOO~"

The Blood Breath Beasts looked panicked. Then, like headless flies, they began to scramble in every direction, quickly falling into chaos.

「In the Command Area.」

Lin Qi watched the chaotic monster tide and reported, weeping with joy.

"Lord Qian Wu, the monster tide’s assault has stopped! They’re in disarray!"

"All units, listen up! Counter-attack immediately!"

Qian Wu grabbed his wireless communication device and shouted excitedly.

"Yes, sir!"

Thrilled, the soldiers launched a fierce assault on the chaotic monster tide.

Instantly, the Blood Breath Beasts turned and fled.

...

「Within Mountain City Mountain.」

The Blood Breath Beasts that had been tearing into civilians everywhere lost control and started scrambling wildly after coming into contact with the falling snowflakes.

Some of the beasts fled outward, while others rushed into nearby buildings to hide.

The panicked civilians were also stunned. When they noticed the falling snow, they all exclaimed in astonishment.

"It’s so cold! It’s snowing!"

"Why are the Blood Breath Beasts all running away?"

"We won!"

"The Blood Breath Beasts have fled!"

"This is great!"

...

At that moment, countless cheers erupted.

「At the City Lord’s Mansion.」

Qian Ying pushed City Lord Qian Luo out from his bedroom.

Snowflakes drifted down slowly.

City Lord Qian Luo tremblingly extended a withered hand.

A snowflake landed on it.

His cloudy eyes grew moist as he spoke.

"It’s snowing."

"Yes, Father. Qiansha and the others succeeded. The Blood Breath Beast tide is scattering."

Qian Ying also let out a long sigh of relief.

A flicker of movement in City Lord Qian Luo’s murky eyes, and he immediately issued an order to Qian Ying.

"Order Qian Wu to quickly clear the Blood Breath Beasts within the city. Gather all combat-ready personnel and head to the Royal City Ruins to provide support immediately!"

"Yes, my lord!"

Qian Ying responded at once.

「At the Mountain City Mountain Defense Line.」

Upon receiving the order, Qian Wu immediately arranged for the City Guard and the Praetorian Guard to clear out the remaining Blood Breath Beasts.

Then, he picked up his communication device and issued an order to all members.

"All personnel still able to fight, gather at Defense Sector B0 immediately! The battle at the Royal City Ruins is still ongoing. We must go there now to support our comrades and slay the monarch of the Blood Breath Beasts!"

"Yes, sir!"

A chorus of spirited voices responded.

The numerous soldiers who could still fight all began to assemble at Defense Sector B0.

Logistics personnel quickly drove over transport vehicles.

"Quick, get on!"

...

Everyone scrambled aboard the transport vehicles.

In a long, mighty procession, the vehicles drove out of Mountain City Mountain and headed for the Royal City Ruins.

Although this was a risky move, Qian Wu and the others couldn’t afford to worry about that. This was an all-or-nothing gamble.

「Star Tower City · Inside the Star Tower’s main hall.」

Elder Fakam and the others roared with laughter.

"Haha, it’s snowing!"

"The Blood Breath Beast tide is retreating!"

"We did it!"

"Hmph. And who was it just now, jumping up and down like an anxious monkey?"

The Abyss Lord looked at Elder Fakam and the others and said with a cold snort.

"It was a matter of life and death for our race. How could we not be anxious?"

Elder Fakam said, looking a bit embarrassed.

Just then, a subordinate hurried over to report.

"Lord Fakam, Mountain City Mountain has gathered all its combat-ready forces and is heading to the Royal City Ruins."

Fakam was stunned for a moment, then said urgently.

"Quick, we must assemble our troops as well."

"Heh, why are you in such a hurry to assemble your troops?"

"To go to the Royal City Ruins and provide support, of course! To slay the monarch of the Blood Breath Beasts!"

Elder Fakam said self-righteously.

"Hypocrite. If you want a piece of the pie, just say so!"

The Abyss Lord sneered mockingly.

"Abyss Lord, aren’t you sending troops?"

Elder Fakam asked, his face darkening.

"We are!"

With that, the Abyss Lord hung up.

...

--------------------------------

「Famon Base · Central Control Room.」

Listening to the continuous cheers coming through the communication device, a smile appeared on Long Ming’s face, and the weight on his heart finally lifted.

Dr. Song Ru and the others cheered with immense joy.

"Oh my god, we did it!"

"This is incredible!"

...

Dr. Xu Rui, grinning from ear to ear, repeated over and over.

"Haha, it actually activated successfully!"

"Good work. I’m leaving this to you. Just make sure you don’t touch any of the equipment or buttons,"

Long Ming said, patting Dr. Xu Rui’s shoulder.

"Okay, don’t worry!"

Dr. Xu Rui quickly nodded in response.

After giving his instructions, Long Ming turned and left.

Seeing the Blood Breath Beasts disobeying its commands and fleeing, an enraged Kamu led the remaining Elite and General-level Blood Breath Beasts in a charge toward the base.

"That Mutated Lord is charging over!"

Jing Chuan shouted immediately.

Watching Kamu charge with its remaining Blood Breath Beasts, Qiansha gave a savage grin.

"Courting death. Let’s take it down together!"

"Alright!"

Brubo and the others followed Qiansha and charged forward.

They ran over mountains of corpses, striking at the Mutated Lord-level Blood Breath Beast, Kamu.

Captain Alang and his men charged toward the General and Elite-level Blood Breath Beasts.

Before, they were completely outmatched by the sheer number of Blood Breath Beasts. But now the tables had turned; it was a group of them ganging up on a few.

Thus, they easily intercepted these remaining monsters.

Just then, Kamu extended numerous octopus-like tentacles, shooting them toward Qiansha and the others to impale them.

Qiansha’s group dodged to the side, swinging their weapons to hack at the tentacles and severing them one by one.

Kamu reeled in pain, retracting its damaged tentacles to regenerate them.

Qiansha and the others accelerated their charge.

Kamu immediately opened its mouth, spraying a large amount of red mist toward them.

Unfortunately, because the air temperature was so cold, the temperature of the red mist dropped drastically. As a result, Qiansha and the others didn’t even bother to dodge, charging straight through it.

Just then, Long Ming climbed out of an exit on the roof of Famon Base.

He was met with the sight of Qiansha and the others ganging up on the Mutated Lord-level Kamu.

Kamu was a commander-type beast, so its combat power wasn’t much higher than a regular Lord’s. Now, suppressed by the environment and ganged up on by Qiansha’s group, it quickly found itself unable to hold on. Most of its tentacles had been chopped off, leaving only its bare, octopus-like body.

Long Ming quickly rushed over, hoping to get in a few strikes himself.

But by the time he got there...

Kamu’s head was split open by Qiansha. It let out a piercing wail and collapsed heavily to the ground. Dark red blood flowed out, and all signs of life vanished.

"Hah!"

Qiansha stood on Kamu’s body and cursed.

When the remaining Elite and General-level Blood Breath Beasts saw that Kamu was dead, they lost all control and turned to flee.

"Sir, the Blood Breath Beasts are all running away!"

Captain Alang said excitedly to Qiansha.

"Haha, we’ve won a total victory!"

Qiansha exclaimed.

"Yeah, we won,"

Long Ming said, in high spirits.

Qiansha turned to look at Long Ming, slapped him heavily on the shoulder, and said with excitement.

"Kid, you deserve the most credit for this victory. When this is all over, I’ll personally request a commendation for you!"

"The credit belongs to everyone. We couldn’t have succeeded without everyone’s bloody struggle,"

Long Ming replied humbly.

"Well said! Very well said!"

Qiansha’s admiration for Long Ming grew even deeper.

Just then, Luoxue reminded Qiansha,

"Qiansha, we can’t celebrate too early. The battle at the Royal City Ruins isn’t over yet. My father and my uncle are still fighting there."

"That’s right. We have to hurry to the Royal City Ruins to provide support. This climate device was forcefully activated, and who knows how long it will last. We also don’t know how long the snow will fall. If it stops, we’ll be in trouble."

"You’re right. We need to get to the Royal City Ruins immediately,"

Qiansha agreed, snapping back to reality.

"But we don’t have any vehicles,"

Captain Alang asked, hesitating slightly.

"Search everywhere. If the Aniska Empire could build such a huge base here, they must have left some vehicles behind,"

Long Ming told the group.

"Long Ming’s right. Search!"

Qiansha immediately gave the order to everyone.
