Chapter 301 Jiayi Takes Action

Chapter 301: Chapter 290: Jiayi Takes Action

Seeing this, the other two Blood Thunder Zombies immediately changed tactics. They stopped their close-quarters assault, pulled back, and began forming crimson Thunder Balls in their hands, unleashing a frantic bombardment!

Black Emperor was forced back again and again, but it didn’t panic. Instead, it continuously gathered Thunder as it retreated.

Finally, just as the two zombies unleashed their Thunder Balls in unison once more, Black Emperor suddenly opened its massive maw.

"BOOM—!!!"

A colossal Thunder Cannon, over five meters in diameter, erupted from its mouth.

It instantly devoured the two zombies, and the aftershock even knocked the distant scarlet monster back several steps!

The scarlet monster seemed completely enraged. The blood vessels all over its body bulged as its six bone spurs wildly extended, their tips splitting into countless nerve bundles that whipped toward Black Emperor like lashes!

Although Black Emperor was incredibly fast, it was still ensnared by several of the nerve bundles and was instantly dragged toward the scarlet monster!

"AWOOO—!"

Black Emperor struggled frantically, arcs of Thunder crackling around it, but it couldn’t break free from its restraints.

Just as it was about to be devoured by the scarlet monster, suddenly—

"BOOM—!!!"

A giant green turtle descended from the sky, aiming precisely for the scarlet monster.

That’s right! It was the giant Green-headed Turtle, Dabao!!!

The Mountain Guardian Divine Beast that Mengde had captured back at Yulong Bay!

The giant green turtle Dabao fell from the sky, its massive body slamming down on the scarlet monster like a meteorite.

The spikes on its carapace glinted coldly in the sunlight. Its thick, scaly limbs shook the entire battlefield as it landed.

"BOOM—!"

The scarlet monster staggered back from the sudden, heavy blow, and the nerve bundles wrapped around Black Emperor loosened.

Dabao seized the opportunity to bite down on several of the tentacles. Its sharp beak-like teeth easily tore them apart, and dark red fluid sprayed out, making a SIZZLING, corrosive sound as it hit the ground.

"Nice one, Dabao!"

Standing on the defensive wall, Jiayi clenched her fists, a glimmer of hope flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She turned her head and spoke quickly to Lin Aoxue beside her.

"Get all non-combatants into the villa immediately! Prepare to initiate the emergency protocol!"

Dabao’s arrival temporarily relieved the pressure on Black Emperor, but the Star Map Level scarlet monster quickly readjusted.

Its "face," composed of three hearts, contracted violently, emitting a hair-raising GURGLING sound.

The semi-translucent, gelatinous substance in its abdomen suddenly began to boil, and dozens of embryo-like lumps of flesh were ejected.

These lumps of flesh rapidly transformed in mid-air, sprouting sharp bone spurs and suckers, and flew toward Dabao like living bombs.

"Look out!"

Jiayi couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

This also instantly alerted the Green-headed Turtle, Dabao!

Dabao reacted with extreme speed, immediately retracting its head and limbs into its shell.

The lumps of flesh stuck to its carapace with a SPLATTING sound and then exploded, splattering corrosive liquid everywhere.

Even a mutated beast with astonishing defensive power like Dabao had several shallow pits etched into its carapace, causing it to let out a low roar of pain.

Seizing the opportunity, Black Emperor pounced on the scarlet monster, a ball of golden Thunder condensing in its mouth before being violently unleashed.

The pillar of lightning struck the scarlet monster’s chest, blasting a large hole, but the writhing blood vessels and sinews began to heal at a visible rate.

"This monster... its Recovery Power is just too astonishing."

Jiayi bit her lower lip, fine beads of sweat forming on her forehead.

She turned to Liu Ruyun beside her. "Sister Ruyun, how much longer can the base’s defenses hold?"

The intelligent and sophisticated Liu Ruyun quickly operated the holographic projection, which displayed the status of the base’s defensive barriers.

After looking at it, however, Liu Ruyun’s expression became very grim.

"The outer defensive line has already collapsed. The second line can hold for ten minutes at most. If we let this monster break through the third wall..."

She didn’t finish her sentence, but the meaning was obvious.

Jiayi took a deep breath, her slender fingers brushing against the necklace on her chest—the Protective Talisman Mengde had given her before he left.

She looked up at the battlefield. Though Dabao and Black Emperor were fighting valiantly, they were clearly at a disadvantage.

The two Star Map Level zombies beside the scarlet monster were closing in on the wall, and ordinary Superpower Users were completely unable to stop them.

"I have to step in."

Jiayi’s voice was soft, yet it carried an unquestionable resolve.

"No!"

Cheng Fei’er grabbed her arm.

"You’re the base’s last line of defense! If anything happens to you, our husband will worry himself to death when he gets back..."

Jiayi gently but firmly pried Cheng Fei’er’s fingers away.

"It’s precisely because I’m the last line of defense that I have to step up."

She glanced at the worried faces around her and offered a reassuring smile.

"Don’t forget, I’m also a Star Map Level Superpower User."

Even though she knew this Star Map Level monster would be incredibly difficult to deal with, she still charged forward to face the challenge without hesitation.

The moment she finished speaking, Jiayi’s figure vanished, reappearing in the center of the battlefield the next second.

She was wearing a tight-fitting black combat suit that had a matte texture in the sunlight. The suit fit her graceful figure perfectly, outlining her flawless curves.

Her long hair was tied back in a neat ponytail that traced elegant arcs in the air with her movements.

A few stray strands of hair fell around her ears, adding to her valiant and heroic aura.

The high-collar design wrapped around her slender, swan-like neck, while a V-shaped opening perfectly revealed the delicate lines of her collarbone.

The waist featured a three-dimensional honeycomb cut that both accentuated her slim waist and provided excellent flexibility during intense movement.

The most eye-catching feature was the hidden SS-Class Superpower sigil on the chest of the combat suit.

—An energy circuit in the shape of a Phoenix spread from her heart to her shoulder blades, which would glow with a blazing golden light when she activated her Superpower.

"Sister-in-law is here! We’re saved!"

Zhao Xiaoyu, who was directing the defense, shouted excitedly, and the morale of the base guards surged.

Jiayi wasted no time on words. She formed a hand seal in front of her chest and activated her SSS-Level Fire Superpower at full strength.

Searing Flame erupted from her body, coalescing behind her into a pair of magnificent flaming wings.

"Phoenix Divine Fire!"

With a sharp cry, the flaming wings fully unfurled, their span exceeding five meters. Jiayi floated in mid-air, like the Flame Goddess descending. She pushed her hands forward, and two pillars of fire, like a Phoenix’s breath, shot out straight toward the scarlet monster.

The scarlet monster seemed to sense the threat. Its three hearts contracted violently in unison, letting out a piercing shriek.

It abandoned its attack on Dabao and Black Emperor, the blood vessels on its body bulging as it turned to face Jiayi.

Flame and flesh collided, creating a SIZZLING sound of burning.

The blood vessels on the scarlet monster’s surface rapidly carbonized under the intense heat, but the gelatinous substance in its abdomen suddenly churned violently and sprayed out a mist of blood.

When this blood mist encountered the Flame, not only was it not vaporized, but it wrapped around it like a living thing, attempting to corrupt Jiayi’s Flame.

"Hmph!"

Jiayi snorted coldly. Her flaming wings flapped forcefully, whipping up a firestorm.

The blood mist was purified in the even hotter flames, turning into green smoke and dissipating...
