Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 163 - 142: The Swarm Reveals Itself
Chapter 163: Chapter 142: The Swarm Reveals Itself
The brainless shadow beasts, at the moment the bell rang, surged like a black deluge, frantically flooding into the two sides of the mechanism yard.
The slaughter machines meticulously set up by Su Lin finally began to operate!
In the main yard, the floor nozzles beside the three people suddenly lifted, a fiery dragon roared out, instantly penetrating the inner and outer gates of both yards!
Wherever it went, the shadow beasts had no time to even let out a wail before turning to ash, leaving behind only the pitch-black shadow cores clattering to the ground.
The impact walls roared to life, crashing into the shadow beasts entering the courtyard, breaking bones and tendons, turning them into a bloody pulp.
Even those lucky enough not to be crushed were fiercely pushed into the spiked zones, instantly turned into porcupines!
Even if some shadow beasts managed to move forward, there remained overwhelming obstacles ahead.
Sticky goo, arrows like rain… immediately followed by a second round of roaring flames and crashing impact walls.
The machinery array functioned like a cold slaughter assembly line, efficiently and precisely harvesting the endless stream of “raw materials” delivered.
The entire slaughter operation perfectly matched Su Lin’s concept—efficient, stable, and ruthless.
The first wave of three hundred shadow beasts, divided into two groups, couldn’t even touch the edge of the main yard before being utterly annihilated.
Su Lin nodded in satisfaction.
Originally, the tenfold reinforced arrow walls, spiked zones, and impact walls were enough to easily annihilate ordinary shadow beasts, now boosted with an additional 40% power of the Glazed Cannon entry, making them even more destructive!
“Next, it’s their turn.”
Su Lin cast his gaze beyond the courtyard walls.
At this moment, the enormous giant bull tethered by rules outside the east yard wall was so frenzied it seemed about to tear through the ground.
The massive body, four to five meters at the shoulder, exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression, its blood-red giant eyes deadlocked on the three in the main yard, thick breath spurting white steam, and its three whip-like tails lashing furiously, producing dull whooshing sounds.
As soon as the restriction was lifted, the giant bull let out an earth-shattering roar, charging with devastating force towards the east yard gate!
“Go!” With a thought, Su Lin waved a large hand.
A giant beast-hunting bee responded, detaching from its hovering formation, its four wings vibrating with a soft hum, transforming into a cold streaking meteor targeting the charging giant bull!
“Moo——!”
The “giant” of the beast-hunting bee was only relative.
The giant bull scoffed at the tiny attack, its charging momentum not decreasing but instead increasing.
In the sky, the hunting bee seemed provoked by being underestimated, its four wings vibrating with a sharp hum, twin stingers poised, cold light intimidating.
Suddenly, it transformed into a shooting star in the night.
Just as the giant bull was about to crash into the yard gate—
Splurt!
The hunting bee pierced through the giant bull’s thick hide like the sharpest drill, leaving a through-and-through hole! Black blood spattered!
“Moo!” In intense pain, the giant bull bellowed in rage, its charge staggered to a stop.
Having struck successfully, the hunting bee paused not a moment, executing a sharp air reversal, tracing a fierce zigzag to evade the giant bull’s retaliatory horns, becoming again a streaking meteor!
Splurt! Splurt!
…
The speed of the hunting bee was extraordinary, leaving trails of its shadow.
It nimbly weaved through the giant bull’s frenzied counterattacks, each diving sting precisely avoiding vital spots yet causing severe penetrating wounds.
The giant bull wildly lashed with its whip-like tails, producing sharp sounds but unable to even touch the hunting bee’s edge, only able to roar in agony at the ever-increasing wounds on its body.
A few minutes later.
The eighth penetration! The sixteenth blood hole!
The massive giant bull finally couldn’t hold on, crashing down like a collapsing mountain, its huge body convulsing slowly dissipating.
“Solo… solo kill!!”
Su Tongxi and Song Yiyi watched in stunned silence, shock rendering them speechless.
“Brother Lin! Brother Lin! Did you… enhance the bee too?!”
Song Yiyi was so excited she was incoherent, clutching Su Lin’s arm tightly, her nails almost digging into his flesh.
Although Su Tongxi had seen much of Su Lin’s extraordinariness, at this moment her eyes were full of amazement and tenderness:
“Old Que’er once said it took two beast-hunting bees to deal with a leader. Brother Kirin’s hunting bee could actually handle it one-on-one!”
Song Yiyi was unable to contain her excitement, springing up like a koala to hang onto Su Lin, showering kisses onto his face like raindrops:
“Brother Lin, you’re amazing! Amazing!”
The difference between two and one may not seem massive, but when the total base is only thirty, the significance is entirely different!
This meant he had thirty aerial assassins capable of independently killing Tendon Lock Martial Artists in the wilds!
If all thirty were deployed, even three to five Tendon Lock Martial Artists would likely be left scrambling away in panic!
This terrifying power is enough to make any enemy tremble!
“It seems the glazed cannon indeed worked on the Giant Beast-Hunting Bees.” Su Lin held the excited Song Yiyi in his arms, feeling reassured, and revealed a contented smile.
This not only means that their current combat power has skyrocketed, but it also foretells that future summoning devices can enjoy the overpowering effects of trait enhancements!
In this way, when he obtains summoning-type devices in the future, he won’t feel like he wants to taste them yet can’t bear to discard them.
Compared to regular devices, summoning-type devices indeed have various unique features; Su Lin uses them with great ease and is very fond of them.
Of course, summoning-type devices also have two fatal drawbacks.
Firstly, they cannot be built in multiples like ordinary devices.
Secondly, once damaged, they cannot be replenished in the short term.
This means that during a beast tide, the defense of one device will be lost for a period.
But simply being able to take the summoned creatures out of the safe house and into the wilderness for combat makes up for all the shortcomings!
One must know that Wuyin Village now has only forty-some Flesh Lock Martial Artists.
In terms of strength, even if all the Flesh Locks in the village fought together, they would likely not defeat Su Lin’s thirty Giant Beast-Hunting Bees.
Su Lin moved the sofa into the courtyard, hugged two women on either side, and leisurely watched the device array methodically slaying the seemingly endless beast tide.
In the blink of an eye, the last wave of the beast tide arrived.
“Hmm?”
Su Lin’s gaze sharpened as he noticed that outside the east and west courtyards, a head beast shadow beast emitting a ferocious aura appeared at each location!
“The sixth wave has dual leaders? Then the harvest of shadow cores tonight is likely to reach eleven thousand eight hundred.”
However, for Su Lin at this moment, whether it’s one or two makes no difference.
“Go!” With a command.
In the sky, thirty Double-needle Giant Bees instantly split into two teams, like two deadly silver streams, rushing towards the leaders outside the east and west courtyards!
Thud! Thud! Thud!
…
The dense piercing sound echoed throughout the night sky!
Under the absolute barrage of numbers and power, the two ferocious leaders couldn’t even organize decent resistance and were quickly pierced by the swarm, howling in pain as they turned to light and dissipated.
The first night in the Level 4 Safe House passed calmly in such a bloodless and even leisurely slaughter.
…
…
The next morning.
The news of Su Can returning from seclusion had already spread like spring breeze across every corner of Wuyin Village.
The entire village was enveloped in long-lost excitement and joy, with some people even crying tears of happiness.
The anomaly in the wilderness at the end of the month had halted village affairs for several days, and people had long since been in a state of anxiety.
Old Su emerging like a stabilizing force instantly settled all unrest.
The Hunting Lord had been preparing for many days, and with the old master coming out, the expedition will commence today!
The Hunting Group, with more than a hundred members, gathered with high morale in front of the Su Family’s Old Mansion, just waiting for Old Su’s command to set out into the wilderness!
The warm sun shone down, Su Qi stood at the forefront, his voice boomed like a bell:
“Today, we reopen the Lord’s Hunt! We will not let last month’s tragedy repeat!”
“Yes!” Everyone responded in unison, their voices echoing in the sky, their eyes burning with fighting spirit.
When their gaze fell on the tall and stalwart figure with black hair flowing beside Su Qi, it was filled with near-fanatical reverence.
Transforming into a middle-aged strong man, Su Can laughed heartily, full of boldness:
“With me here, no demons or monsters can harm us! We’ll twist that creature’s head off for drinks!”
“Yes!” The response was even more fervent.
The presence of a genuine First-Transformed Martial Artist brought unparalleled security.
Su Qi looked around at everyone, a mysterious smile appearing at the corner of his mouth:
“Today’s expedition, our Su Family has an extra surprise for all of you!”
Surprise?
Everyone exchanged glances, showing curiosity.
Su Qi smiled without speaking and glanced toward Su Lin in the Hunting Group’s formation.
Su Lin smiled calmly and stepped forward from the crowd.
He placed two fingers by his lips and blew a sharp whistle with penetrating power towards the clear sky.
