Chapter 456: Chapter 214: Void Beetle 3

At Li Ziyu’s command, over a hundred Evil Spirit Wanderers suddenly accelerated, heading straight for the battle.

The roar of accelerating motorcycles caught the attention of both sides. The two parties instantly stopped fighting, pulled apart, and looked warily toward the source of the sound.

The waist-high grass rustled, carving straight lines through the field. As they neared the battle site, the Evil Spirit Wanderers suddenly swerved, fanning out to surround the Gorilla Beastmen and the Leopard Woman. The Evil Spirit Wanderers revved their engines, circling their targets as the Patrolling Knights raised their Jet Shooter-2s and took aim.

Seeing the sudden appearance of these uninvited guests, the Gorilla Beastmen quickly gathered together, standing back-to-back and aiming their weapons at the Evil Spirit Wanderers. The Leopard Woman, meanwhile, crouched low, her gaze following the circling Evil Spirit Wanderers with extreme vigilance.

“Surrender, or die.”

The Evil Spirit Wanderers used Soul Resonance, allowing the Beastmen to hear their voices directly. Their Soul Energy wasn’t as abundant as that of the Skeleton Knights, but they could still transmit simple phrases.

The Leopard Woman didn’t move, holding her crouched position. One of the Gorilla Beastmen, however, ignored the Evil Spirit Wanderers’ words. With a roar, he swung the metal club in his hand, leaped into the air, and brought it smashing down toward a nearby Evil Spirit Wanderer.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

In a rapid series of reports, several Evil Spirit Wanderers opened fire on the attacking Gorilla Beastman without hesitation. White bursts erupted across his body. The sheer force of the impacts stopped him from ever reaching the Evil Spirit Wanderer; he lost his life in mid-air, his body falling to the ground with a THUD.

“Surrender, or die!”

The Evil Spirit Wanderers issued the ultimatum again. ‘The City Lord ordered us to bring people back, but he didn’t specify how many. Killing a few is no problem at all.’

The power of the Jet Shooter-2s shocked the assembled Beastmen. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the remaining three Gorilla Beastmen immediately scattered, fleeing in three different directions. At the same time, the Leopard Woman’s figure blurred as she too prepared to escape.

Unfortunately for them, they were surrounded by nearly a hundred Evil Spirit Wanderers. There was no way they would be allowed to escape. In no time at all, they were all captured.

The Patrolling Knights tied the Beastmen to their motorcycles, turned around, and headed for home.

Pinned to the motorcycles, the Beastmen still tried to struggle, but they soon realized they were completely surrounded by Undead. With the muzzles of guns pressed against their heads, they finally quieted down and allowed themselves to be taken away obediently.

As the hundred-plus Evil Spirit Wanderers began their return journey, the Leopard Woman lay draped over the back of a motorcycle, her eyes darting about. She glanced from the surrounding Evil Spirit Wanderers to the Patrolling Knight who had captured her, her mind racing.

‘Ropes can’t hold me. My claws are sharp enough to cut through these bindings easily. But even if I get free, I don’t dare run. Those weapons that make that explosive sound are ranged. I don’t want to take a few steps only to be torn to shreds.’

‘What on earth are these skeletons? Why are they moving? Where are they taking me?’

Question after question popped into her head. ‘Since I can’t run for now, I’ll just have to see what happens and look for an opportunity.’

As the Evil Spirit Wanderers rode on, a colossal structure gradually came into view, causing her eyes to slowly widen in disbelief.

‘Wh-what is that…?’

Towering walls, soaring buildings, all a ghastly white… They were gradually approaching a city.

‘But is there a city like this on the plains?’

The Leopard Woman couldn’t believe her eyes. She had lived on these plains for a long time, yet she had never before seen such a city. She was certain of it.

The Evil Spirit Wanderers returned with the Beastmen and handed them over to the waiting Undead. There were throngs of them, so many that the Beastmen lost all will to escape. Surrounded by thousands upon thousands of Undead, how could they run?
