Starting with watering the World Tree for otherworldly survival

Page 53

Ai Lulu was sensible enough to immediately grant the first access to Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu.

“Very good, you guys go inside and find the other important goods first. Xiuxiu and I will be there soon.”

After getting rid of Ai Lulu and Yan, Qin He had something very important to discuss with Zhong Liuxiu.

"Xiuxiu, take the magic core."

"According to the images that Vild just transmitted back via drone, the Blue Dragons outside the city have made a move!"

"Although it wasn't Fat Dragon who did it herself, she bribed the group of eighth-level experts who had successfully left the city earlier to come and hunt us down."

A forty-odd powerful individuals, including humans and magical beasts, are surging towards the West District, determined to capture Qin He as quickly as possible!

Fortunately, Qin He had a backup plan, deploying drones outside the city to observe the situation. Otherwise, if they had been ambushed like that... he would have had to fight to the death.

Given the necessary preparations, how can we maximize the use of our existing and available combat power to defeat those hordes of eighth-tier powerhouses?

Mira and her three companions are currently only at the lower sixth rank, but with the weapons they wield, they might be able to fight against an eighth-rank expert.

Luna, a lower-ranking seventh-tier warrior, can rely on her physical strength to deal with enemies and is basically able to hold her own against eighth-tier magical beasts or human powerhouses.

At the peak of the seventh tier, possessing the inheritance of the Moon-Chasing Demon Wolf, she can kill Mana, who is below the ninth tier, with a single blow. Unless facing a monster of the level of a Chosen One, she should be invincible.

The power of the Lunar Claw is essentially a dimensional reduction attack that kills anyone who touches it.

The eighth-tier lower-level rabbit girl, Mozhi, was quite skilled in water-based battle aura. If Qin He hadn't been superior in weaponry, he would have had to resort to using his spearhead to defeat her in a short time.

Qin He will give her a branch of the World Tree in a moment. This can be considered compensation for her broken weapon. She will be able to do quite a few things in the upcoming battle.

Lower Rank 7...

After changing her underwear inside the box, Kaori, the mimic, hopped and skipped all the way here. Her combat abilities are currently unknown.

But if we're really relying on her, then forget it.

Also at the lower level of the eighth rank, the maid guard named Yan was also quite skilled, but unfortunately, the Ten Directions Shattered her weapon just now.

It might affect my performance...

Although Elulu appears to lack combat abilities, the flickering light of the gun in her hand is itself a symbol of a swift and agile ninth-tier expert.

Submachine guns are incredibly fast and powerful, making them a low-level, ninth-tier expert. Shotguns are powerful, area-of-effect attacks, making them a mid-level, ninth-tier expert.

As for sniper rifles, they are used by top-tier experts who can achieve near-instant kills within the ninth rank.

Not to mention that after he used the soap-identifying silver seal to read her memories, he learned that this flickering light possessed a continuous output mode for its laser gun.

When the time comes, we can wipe out a large number of them. Will we still have to worry about not being able to kill these experts?

If your only goal is to kill enemies, simply seal the entire building with magic and then lure in the zombies.

Alternatively, it is feasible to have Zhong Liuxiu activate the magic core to summon spirits, using the peak-level magic core of the Electronic End Dragon to summon that Saint-rank being.

But for Qin He, the goal was to win as safely as possible while reaping as many spoils as possible.

……

"We've arrived. The silver dragon named Qin He is inside this building. Who's going up?"

An archer asked first.

These powerful individuals were not fools. Although there were no beauties among them, they were all ruthless people who had risked their lives for others.

Among the monsters, a mid-level eighth-tier Golden Horned Viper stealthily moved forward, its forked tongue flicking, and swept open the main entrance of the building with its tail.

If you don't sense any danger, that's fine!

"Come in!"

The Wind-Stabilizing Viper twisted its serpentine body, and a small portion of the human powerhouses and magical beasts followed it in.

Those that were too large, or those that were more cautious... remained guarding the area around the building.

Taking advantage of Qin He's spatial scales, Mana appeared silently like a ghost!

At the same time, the gate slammed shut. Qin He, using the magic cores he possessed to create a protective barrier, could ensure that no one outside could breach the gates.

With a single strike of the Moon-Piercing Claw, the divine power that tore everything apart immediately wounded many powerful figures in the room! And to ensure efficiency, Mana targeted the legs!

Good afternoon~ and goodbye!

With Zhong Liuxiu holding the spatial scale, Qin He suddenly emerged from it. And what he was holding in his arms were none other than Elulu and Mingmie!

Switching the flashing light to shotgun mode unleashes a torrent of destructive power from a mid-tier 9 weapon.

In an instant, the dozen or so eighth-level experts who entered the building met their demise on the spot!

"Mira, fire the arrows!"

Standing high up in the building, Mira held precisely the same magic energy explosion arrow that had once knocked Luna away!

With the enhancement of magical incantations, Mira aimed to unleash the full magical energy fluctuations of a peak seventh-tier magic core, striking the group of eighth-tier experts downstairs squarely in front of them!

"boom--!!!"

Spending one of Qin He's peak seventh-tier magic cores on this diversionary tactic is absolutely worthwhile.

"howl--!"

Countless zombies, drawn by the sound of the explosion, rushed toward the source of the demonic energy arrow!

The power of this arrow was like the self-destruction of a peak seventh-tier magical beast. It not only caused some eighth-tier experts below to fall over, but also attracted a large number of zombies!

"Great! That's it!"

Qin He, carrying Ai Lulu, went to a higher floor to shoot at the zombies.

"Come on! Let's have some fun today!"

Chapter 82 Luring the Enemy into a Trap, Defeating Them One by One

Qin He and Zhong Liuxiu's spatial scales are undoubtedly the highest grade among all dragons.

It has storage space covering at least a thousand miles, easily accommodating even enormous facilities like safe houses. It can even support living things.

By using spatial scales to deploy and retrieve Mana and the others over short distances, Qin He could launch a perfect surprise attack.

After the surprise attack inside the house, all the eighth-tier powerhouses met Heraheim.

Fortunately, these people weren't particularly attractive, so Qin He didn't have to hesitate when he made his move.

As for the magic core explosion arrow that Mira just shot, it can attract zombies.

Its power was considerable, and it also made the remaining thirty or so eighth-level beings outside the building experience the feeling of being surrounded and killed.

……

"Damn lunatics! It's a magic core! They detonated it directly...aren't they afraid of attracting zombies?"

Outside the gate, a group of eighth-tier powerhouses, thrown about by the blast, some perished instantly at the epicenter. Many more were still recovering—

Qin He needs to leverage this momentum.

The smell of blood, loud noises, and the reaction of demonic energy are all elements that can attract zombies.

Having the Magic Core Explosion Arrow is tantamount to having the ability to "command zombies" here.

Once the horde of zombies has infected and transformed all these eighth-tier powerhouses, a single magic core explosion arrow will lure the zombies away.

Even if there are any remaining individuals, they are not a threat to Qin He and his group.

"What a joke! Kill... Breach that building now and drag them all down with us!"

Even if it meant her own death, she couldn't let others have it easy. A female assassin with half her face covered in horrifying scars immediately took action and prepared to storm the rooftop!

An eighth-tier mid-level assassin, skilled in wielding a Soul-Hooking Scythe. Its attack range is exceptionally long, and it is highly adaptable.

The female assassin wielded her chain scythe, and the deadly blade instantly spun at the end of the chain, becoming incredibly sharp.

She took a running start and jumped. In the blink of an eye, the female assassin had achieved incredible acceleration.

With a leap into the air, the scythe slicing through the incredibly solid magical barrier... and then crashing down!

"Ha, go ahead and try~ The defenses this building has received are so strong that even those below the ninth rank cannot be directly broken through."

Qin He's mocking voice swept across the group of powerful figures under the influence of his mental power, resounding in their ears.

"So what? If I can't break through by force, can't I just go to the roof or the window?"

He spun around and hooked again, the menacing scythe slamming into the window nearby. It flung the entire window open, and the female assassin, hooked by the window frame, leaped up!

Seeing the female assassin successfully break into the house, the powerful figures who intended to follow her all began to imitate her.

Some used their pure physical strength, while others relied on magical artifacts. In an instant, more than ten powerful individuals stormed into the building!

"Welcome! Because this is the burial ground I've prepared for you by the window!"

Before she could even react, the female assassin's head was blown off by the flashing light of the shotgun in Elulu's hand!

"The item is nice, it's mine."

Putting away the exquisite and high-quality chain sickle, Qin He scanned it with his mental energy and learned that this strange weapon with its golden sheen was called the "Bloodthirsty Reaper".

Having seized the weapon, Qin He was able to more accurately discern which valuable treasures were on the other party's person.

After a moment of searching, Qin He kicked the female assassin's withered, headless body out of the window to intimidate the enemy!

Not only that, Qin He and Ai Lulu split up to snipe and kill the powerful figures who broke into the room!

"Look...it's that female assassin? A mid-level eighth-tier expert had her head taken off in an instant!"

Before anyone could even gasp in shock, the decapitated corpse spun and crashed into the opposite building, shattering the wall and sending dust billowing everywhere.

The other powerful individuals, also climbing the building in search of an opportunity, were terrified. There was no turning back now; the zombies had already swarmed in. Their only option was to storm the building, where danger lurked beneath the surface, and capture the silver dragon Qin He on the spot!

But... can they?

A fat woman dressed as a ninja had just thrown a smoke bomb through the window and was carefully sneaking inside when she was spotted by Zhong Liuxiu.

In her hands were the World Tree Branch and the Ten Directions Crack, which Celestia had previously given to the two of them. These two super weapons were actually fused together in Zhong Liuxiu's hands.

"Ten Directions Shatter - Hammer!"

After Ten Directions Rift transformed back into the little girl's form, it glanced at the World Tree branch a few times, then attached itself to it, transforming into a long-handled warhammer.

Facing an eighth-tier expert, Zhong Liuxiu, under the imminent threat of killing intent, naturally could not hold back in the slightest.

By the time the obese woman realized the deadly danger, Zhong Liuxiu had already swung her golden warhammer straight for her head, smashing it off like a kite with a broken string.

"Hmm, is this the weapon?"

A level 8 personal short sword, along with some personal pendants and rings.

"Hmm! Next one."

After throwing the corpse out the window, Zhong Liuxiu began searching for her next target to smash the skull.

……

"Damn it! Where is that silver dragon? We must find it... that cunning thing."

A muscular female warrior, carrying a greatsword, carefully made her way between the floors.

"I'm sorry, this road is closed."

As the staff flew through the air, the burly, mid-level eighth-rank female warrior's face instantly turned red.

Even if used directly, the branch of the World Tree is an indestructible artifact. It can absorb and store even the most powerful impacts, and then unleash them in a single strike.

Although she was only at the lower level of the eighth rank, Mozhi used the World Tree branch to fight her enemies, and even a casual swing of her staff was swift and agile, something she could never achieve before.

"Roar...you rabbit!"

The female warrior immediately brandished her greatsword, intending to tear Mozhi, who had launched a sneak attack, to pieces on the spot.

But she was too slow, and the continuous barrage of blows aimed straight at her face only made the already less-than-ideal appearance of the female swordsman even worse.

The fighting spirit swirling around the staff was so intense that it seemed to tear her face apart and explode!

The immense force instantly shattered the man's skull, and Mozhi, seizing the opportunity, channeled all her water-based fighting energy into her staff, causing an overwhelming burst of power to spread outwards.

The female warrior perished in the sudden attack unleashed by the power of the World Tree Branch, and Mozhi immediately turned back to rush to the next area with enemies.

……

"Huh...where are you?"

A mid-level eighth-tier Shadow Saber-toothed Leopard leaped into the building and looked around. Little did it know, Wolf Queen Mana, having dealt with more than ten eighth-tier powerhouses, had already set her sights on it.
