Chapter 211: Overkill
The situation in the outpost was getting worse as time ticked by.
“What are they doing!” Li Yunfei had just slain some beasts before more came through. At this rate, they couldn’t escape and rescue Fang Hao!
While that meant Fang Hao was still alive, since they were stalling them so hard, they couldn't break through the beasts and escape!
“Leader, I found the presence of cult members at the cliff. They aren’t even hiding!” Six was shouting in the microphone.
Li Yunfei was in a pickle. Their escape route has been blocked! That meant that a pincer attack was coming!
“Any news from the fortress?”
“We sent the signal and they’ll be here in three hours.”
“Alright, we just need to endure for another three hours.” Li Yunfei ordered everyone to get ready. “Use all of the resources allocated for combat within the outpost! Let them taste gunpowder!”
......
As the sun was setting, the large horde of beasts was nowhere in sight. Bird could wait no longer and instructed the cult member to start the livestream. “Let’s begin! I can no longer wait.”The member nodded and quickly ran up the small hill. Looking at the beautiful sunset, Bird sighed in satisfaction.
“My lord, the livestream has started.”
Because of the news beforehand, viewers were already waiting. The moment it was streaming, everyone simultaneously joined the livestream, and soon, the number of people had broken through the ten thousand mark!
Twenty thousand.
Thirty thousand.
Fifty thousand.
As the number of people increased, Bird got more and more excited.
“Looks like we have many new friends! Let me introduce myself again! My name is Bird, a member of the Seven Deadly Sins. Now, let’s admire this beautiful sunset.”
His tone was like screeching metal, and everyone hated it. But almost everyone stayed for the conclusion. A battle was unfolding near the sunset, revealing a beautiful yet terrifying scene. It was like the bittersweet ending of a movie.
“Looks like this guy is a fanatic of the Seven Deadly Sins.”
“Is this real?”
“Hey, why aren’t the officials censoring this?”
“Who’re the Seven Deadly Sins?”
In reality, the company had been trying to censor the livestream but had failed in all their attempts.
Soon many more people were commenting.
“Don’t be hasty, the finale should start soon.” Bird smiled creepily.
“My lord, they’ve launched the fireworks.” The camera panned over to an explosion in the sky.
Bird laughed excitedly. “Here it is! Quick! Get ready to enjoy the beautiful sunset!”
As for Xiang Ning, he saw that a large horde of beasts was coming his way. In an instant, he shot out ten flying knives to reveal his location to the beasts. Then he deactivated Disguise and activated Taunt!
The ten flying knives snaked around through the air, killing the beasts leading the charge. The cliff was an excellent chokepoint, allowing him to kill the beasts without worrying that they would surround him.
He maximized the output of Taunt and shouted with his full power. Due to the geographical nature, the voice resonated all the way to the beasts.
Xiang Ning waited for just a moment before he saw that it worked. He had earned over ten thousand Fury Points in a single shout. Oh my fucking God, I’m going to die here! How many of them did I antagonize?
Cold sweat poured out of him as even the beasts furthest from him were affected. Looking at their glimmering red eyes, he turned and ran. He was still using Taunt to earn Fury Points even as he ran toward Bird. “My lord! The beasts are coming!”
Every time he shouted, he earned another ten thousand Fury Points. He was on the verge of tears. How many beasts are there?! This isn’t just a tightrope anymore, I’m dancing fucking ballet on a tightrope above a pool of hungry crocodiles!
A thousand beasts roared in rage; their cries could be heard from miles away. In just five minutes, they would overrun the outpost. Everyone nearby knew that their time was limited.
Li Yunfei bitterly smiled. “How much longer until reinforcement arrives?”
“Another thirty minutes! Looks like we don’t have a choice.” Six prepared to die.
“We have to break through. At this point, those who can stay alive must stay alive.” Fang Rou walked out of the outpost, her face filled with determination!
Li Yunfei was thinking the same.
......
Bird was standing on the hill laughing ecstatically. Looking at the beasts below, he shouted excitedly into the camera. “Look at this! This majestic scene! And the sunset! Does it not remind you of your long-lost teenage past? No matter, we’ll send some men to pray for the deceased later. The rescue squad is in good hands.…”
The comments exploded. Everyone was afraid of the cult. Who were they? How could they control so many beasts? Why did they want to do it?
Yes, they thought that the beasts were controlled by them. Bird wanted to make sure they had been fooled by him and had made it look like he could control them.
But just as they were lamenting the fate of those within the outpost, they saw someone running in front of the horde. It was someone from the cult!
“What’s he shouting?” Bird furrowed his brows. Something wasn’t right.
“My lord… he’s running over here! The beasts are coming to our location!”
Toad had just arrived beside Bird and was admiring the view. “What’s wrong?”
“Wait, something isn’t right! The beasts are coming in our direction! Didn’t Hound scatter beast attractant powder? Why’re they coming here?” Bird wanted to flay the cult member leading the beasts.
“What is happening?” he growled.
Xiang Ning had just arrived in front of them. “The beasts are here, hehe.”
“Of course I know they’re here! Why aren’t they heading to the outpost?!” Bird was utterly enraged.
Toad used his sword to cut away Xiang Ning’s cloak and an unfamiliar face showed up in front of them.
