Chapter 20: The Beast Tide Has Arrived!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Inside the Sky Hunter’s pilot cabin…

Qin Yue had a vigilant look on his face. He was constantly observing his surroundings to make it easier for him to react as quickly as possible.

After a few breaths, as Qin Yue’s gaze swept across the desert land beneath his feet, he suddenly noticed something unusual.

The yellow sand beneath his feet seemed to be trembling.

Seeing that, Qin Yue immediately looked towards other locations.

Similarly, as long as it was visible to his naked eye, the sand would shake slightly.

Immediately, Qin Yue realized that the Beast Tide had arrived!

As expected, when Qin Yue shifted his gaze and looked into the distance, the yellow sand had been kicked up and had covered more than half of the view of the horizon.

Another few breaths of time passed and the yellow sand ground began to tremble more violently. It was then that a chaotic roar resounded in the air and echoed in everyone’s ears.

Along with the explosive roar, the Alien Beasts that had caused such a huge commotion finally appeared in everyone’s field of vision.

They were fifteen meters tall and bore a pair of ghastly white bone wings.

Their limbs and backs were covered in black scales, and their eyes were emitted a faint red light. On their heads, there was a horn that was twice as long as their heads.

“The Alien Beasts are here. Get ready for battle!”

Under Qin Yue’s control, Sky Hunter immediately pulled out a long pike from his back.

The moment Qin Yue warned them, Ling Ru and the other three immediately drew their weapons and got into formation.

Qin Yue and Wang Jun were positioned on the outside, while Ling Ru and Li Yan were at their flanks.

Tang Lin, who was in charge of fire support, stood in the middle of the diamond formation.

On the other side, the two brigades immediately split up and prepared for the incoming wave of Alien Beasts.

Everyone had prepared themselves in the short few seconds that they still had as the vast horde of Alien Beasts quickly approached the energy exchange tunnel.

As the Alien Beasts got closer and closer, Qin Yue finally saw the number of Alien Beasts and the species they belonged to clearly.

This group of Alien Beasts belonged to the Disaster-level. They were a variety of wolf species, and they were called Demonic Desert Wolves.

Their most terrifying aspect was their extremely strong combat strength. It was not an exaggeration to say that their strength was at the very top of the Disaster-level classification.

After processing the information, Qin Yue immediately spoke into the communication channel that the five of them had established.

“Pay attention. These are Demonic Desert Wolves. Their individual combat strength is very strong. Let’s not act rashly for the time being.”

“When the battle begins, remember to target the abdomen of the demon wolves. Their weakness is the area without scales.”

Demonic Desert Wolves were one of the types of Alien Beasts that Qin Yue had memorized.

He remembered very clearly that if these Demonic Desert Wolves used their horns to strike at full force, then the average mecha would definitely not be able to withstand it, and might even be crippled.

“This… Qin Yue, you even managed to analyze their weaknesses?”

Ling Ru covered her mouth, her small face filled with surprise.

Qin Yue shrugged and said, “Don’t talk nonsense, get ready to fight our first battle as a team!”

At the same time…

At the highest point of the mobile fortress, the receptionist who had watched Qin Yue and the others were all smiles.

“It’s just a few students, but they can still be so calm when facing an Alien Beast tide of this scale. They even reacted at the first moment and with poise. These are no simple cadets!”

“Even among the mecha teams below, the experienced mecha operators probably didn’t perform as well as them!”

Hearing Qin Yue and the others being praised, Wang Yangming also smiled.

“Of course. Those are the few students that I am very satisfied with.”

“Especially the student with a long pike in his hand. He is the one that I value the most. According to my estimation, he can defeat even a dozen Demonic Desert Wolves!”

Wang Yangming was still very confident in Qin Yue’s strength.

However, despite hearing Wang Yangming’s praise for Qin Yue, the staff member did not agree with him.

“Instructor Wang, you are exaggerating. Look at these soldiers from the Mecha Brigade. They are all experienced mecha operators.”

“They are the elites left behind from the battles with the enemy forces, and even the fierce Alien Beasts!”

“These students, even if they are geniuses, how can they compete with these mecha operators who survived countless life-and-death battles?”

Wang Yangming did not refute his words. Instead, he shook his head with a bitter smile.

“In this world, you have to admit that such a genius requires ordinary people to pay a hundred times the amount of sweat before they can barely look at his back.”

“The Alien Beasts are already in front of us. Just wait and see! The strength he will display will leave you speechless.”

The staff member continued but fell silent. He still did not agree with Wang Yangming’s words. He still insisted on what he thought was right in his heart.

‘It was just a few greenhorn students. How could they be compared to these battle-hardened warriors? It was impossible!’

At that moment, there were several explosions followed by the roars of Alien Beasts. The clear sounds of a mecha battle filled the air.

The battle between the Demonic Desert Wolves and the mecha operators had already begun!

Boom!

Boom!

In the Mecha Battalion, 80 mecha stood at the forefront of the energy exchange, engaging in close combat with the Demonic Desert Wolves,

Behind them, 20 Devastator type mecha were firing at the places where the Beast Tide was densest, or at the mecha that were engaged in close combat with the Alien Beasts, providing long-range support!

“The defenses at the right flank are weakening. The Alien Beasts are about to tear a hole in it!”

“Quick, help them plug that hole!”

“Roger!”

However, the number of Alien Beasts far exceeded the mecha squad. In a short while, the Demonic Desert Wolves would tear a hole in their front lines.

Fortunately, the mecha team quickly reacted and immediately sent reinforcements.

At the same time, at the position of the team led by Qin Yue.

Facing the wave of Alien Beasts, Qin Yue and the others did not panic. Instead, they faced the Demonic Desert Wolves in an orderly manner as they had discussed earlier.

“Qin Yue, two Demonic Desert Wolves are charging you from the side!”

“Linlin, Yanyan, quickly support Qin Yue!”

At that moment, Ling Ru, who supported Wang Jun on the battlefield, suddenly saw two Demonic Desert Wolves charging towards Qin Yue from the side.

Subconsciously out of concern, Ling Ru shouted anxiously into the communication channel.

“No need. If we can’t deal with both of them, I wouldn’t have taken the initiative to make the request and bring you guys here!”

The corners of Qin Yue’s mouth curled up as he laughed confidently.

Before Li Yanyan and Tang Lin could provide support, Qin Yue suddenly attacked the two Demonic Desert Wolves that had suddenly appeared.

One of Sky Hunter’s large hands suddenly grabbed one of the demon wolf’s horns, stopping it in place.

At the same time, Sky Hunter’s other hand held the Scarlet Pike. With lightning speed, it stabbed towards the abdomen of the demon wolf that had pounced in the air.

The Demon Wolf died on the spot!

As for the other demon wolf, Qin Yue had held onto its horn tightly, restricting its movements.

After struggling for a while, it was punched to death by Sky Hunter’s fist.

The damage caused by the two demon wolves to Qin Yue’s mecha was almost negligible!
