Chapter 2038 Pioneers Stepping into the Sky: China's Somewhat Overpowered Combat Strength
However, Chen Bing's next words instantly turned their shock into solemnity, and even a hint of horror.
"Within a radius of five kilometers, there are four first-sequence level mutated organisms."
“About three kilometers to the west, deep within that crystallized black stone forest, the gold element is very concentrated, and it should also be toxic.”
"Four kilometers to the northwest, about three hundred meters underground, lies the outlet of a lava river, which emits a strong sulfurous odor and is very turbulent."
"About fifty meters below that swamp emitting colorful poisonous gas in the southeast direction, lurks something, reserved yet chilling."
"To the northeast, on the side of that small active volcano, in the shadowed area formed by lava flows, the energy and magma share the same origin."
"In addition, there are seven mutated creatures with slightly weaker spiritual power levels, but which have still reached the threshold of the first sequence."
"Two cracks in the inner wall of the northeastern crater, coexisting, one visible and one hidden; one in the pile of decaying plants on the island in the southwestern toxic gas lake."
Chen Bing's tone was calm, as if he were taking inventory of goods in a warehouse, rather than describing eleven mutated creatures that could cause a huge upheaval in any major country.
Even the weakest of the "first-order" level mutant creatures would be considered a moving natural disaster in the outside world, and at this moment they are lurking around, watching us with predatory eyes.
But neither Chen Bing herself, nor Qin Tian and Huo Yu beside her, showed the slightest sign of tension.
Huo Yu even yawned out of boredom:
"Only eleven? I thought they were much stronger."
"That's it?"
Qin Tian's expression remained calm, though he was surprised to find eleven mutated creatures comparable to the "first sequence" level here.
"The environment here is so special, perhaps because it has been permeated by the aura of these mutated creatures for a long time."
"They check and balance each other, yet are all drawn to the central element, creating this unique environment."
The Holy Light, the Fallen, and the Druid exchanged bewildered glances, each seeing disbelief in the other's eyes.
They had previously explored the mutated creatures that existed here, but that was the result of three people exploring many times. In contrast, Chen Bing was able to identify all the hidden mutated creatures in such a short time.
Even the exact location has been determined?
Is her mental strength really that much stronger than theirs? Aren't they all "first-order"?
And why were they so calm about these eleven mutated creatures?
This is a "first-order" level mutated creature!
Even if they are indeed very powerful, surely they shouldn't treat us like nothing?
In fact, their feeling was correct.
Although Chen Bing, Huo Yu, and Qin Tian are nominally still in the "first tier," their strength has already surpassed that level in their last breakthrough, stepping into a new realm.
If the Holy Light, the Fallen, and the Druids are the cream of the crop in the "first tier," the strongest standing at the summit...
So Chen Bing and his two companions were pioneers who had already trodden the mountain peaks and stepped into the sky.
The difference between them may seem to be just a matter of level, but it is actually a chasm in terms of their level of understanding.
To them, these ordinary "first-sequence" mutant creatures were no different from ordinary mutant creatures.
But soon after, Chen Bing's brows furrowed slightly, the first time she had shown such obvious emotional fluctuations.
"That rare and precious herb is rather strange."
"It clearly caused an anomaly in this place and attracted so many mutated creatures, but it doesn't seem to exist in a material form."
If rare and precious materials aren't material, then what are they?
At the same time, perhaps because Chen Bing's domineering mental probing "enraged" the instincts of the mutated creatures in this area, they began to roar.
"Roar!"
"hiss!"
"Gah!"
"."
Several distinct roars, all filled with a violent, ferocious, and chaotic aura, resounded from all directions; accompanied by these sounds, terrifying energy fluctuations soared into the sky!
In the black stone forest due west, a dark golden figure, trailing a trail of dark green poisonous mist, tore through the air and rushed towards them.
In the northwest underground, scorching lava bursts forth carrying a monster resembling a giant lizard with sulfur crystals growing on its back.
In the churning poisonous swamp of the southeast, a giant python covered in colorful slime and possessing countless compound eyes and mouthparts soared into the air.
In the shadow of the northeastern volcano, lava coalesced as if it were alive, forming a ferocious fiery behemoth.
Further away, several other auras, varying in strength but equally ferocious, erupted instantly, carrying endless chaos and killing intent, locking onto the group of "uninvited guests" at the entrance of the rift valley.
"Heh, finally couldn't hold back?"
A hint of eagerness flashed in Huo Yu's eyes.
Qin Tian took a step forward, his expression calm, but his pupils had somehow transformed into dragon eyes.
Chen Bing slowly withdrew his mental energy from probing the depths of the rift. His icy blue eyes swept over the terrifying figures rushing towards him, his gaze calm, as if he were looking at a group of moths drawn to a flame.
"Clean them up."
"Afterwards, we'll go in and see what those so-called 'heavenly treasures' really are."
Qin Tian said calmly.
"Then this time I'll do it, and you're not allowed to make a move."
As Huo Yu spoke, he took a few steps forward and stood between the crowd and the surging, ferocious figures.
He stomped his right foot on the ground.
"boom!"
Amidst the deafening roar, a magic circle burning with dark red flames appeared on the ground. The already scorching air temperature rose sharply once again, and even space seemed to be slightly distorted by the intense heat. The drifting toxic gases were instantly evaporated and purified.
"Roar!" "Screech!" "Awooo!"
Accompanied by different roars, the magic circle shone brightly!
One after another, creatures made entirely of flames stepped out from the churning light of the magic array, took flight, or condensed directly into form!
There are lava colossi, towering over ten meters tall and resembling small mountains; fire wolves, shaped like hellhounds but entirely composed of flames; blazing eagles with wingspans exceeding twenty meters, their feathers and skeletons entirely made of flowing flames; and fire demons, half-human, half-snake, wielding long whips of fire.
In just a few breaths, a fire element army of over three hundred men had already stood before Huo Yu.
Among them, the dozens of the largest fire elemental creatures at the very front emitted spiritual energy that had already reached the "first tier".
More than three hundred fire elemental creatures, at least comparable to "second-order" level ability users, with dozens of fire elemental creatures reaching "first-order" level, gathered together. The heat waves and pressure they emitted were as if another sun had risen out of thin air in this "Valley of Death".
Even the thick smoke spewing from the distant active volcanoes seemed to be driven back by this terrifying heat.
The Holy Light, the Fallen Angel, and the Druid were already dumbfounded, and subconsciously took a few steps back, using their respective spiritual power to resist the terrifying high temperature.
They weren't unaware of Huo Yu's power, after all, he was the Yan Emperor, one of the original four emperors of China; they weren't unaware that Huo Yu's special ability was to summon life forms of fire element, but this is just too exaggerated, isn't it?
With a wave of his hand, he can summon an elemental army capable of rivaling the high-end combat power of a nation? How many "first-tier" level superhumans are there in the entire world?
Qin Tian's golden dragon eyes flickered slightly as he looked at the summoned creatures that Huo Yu had summoned, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Chen Bing simply let the cold air around her circulate naturally, keeping out the heat wave, and looked at Huo Yu with a hint of a smile in her eyes.
Meanwhile, the eleven mutated creatures that had just rushed out of their hiding place, carrying overwhelming ferocity, clearly slowed their advance.
For the first time, emotions other than greed and murderous intent appeared in their violent instinctual consciousness.
It is a fear and hesitation stemming from the instinct of life when faced with overwhelming numbers.
But Firefeather didn't give them any chance to react.
She extended her slender fingers and, like a conductor, gently pointed them forward at the eleven mutated creatures.
"Go, crush them."
The sound was light and cheerful, even with a hint of joy, but to the ears of those mutated creatures, it was like a death sentence.
"Roar!!!"
More than three hundred fire elemental creatures roared in unison, and in the next moment, they transformed into crimson torrents that engulfed the eleven lone mutated creatures.
They did not rush forward in a chaotic manner, but naturally split into eleven groups during the charge, each group consisting of twenty or thirty fire element creatures, including at least two or three leaders of the "first sequence" level.
Like a well-trained army, they "found" their respective targets.
The battle, or rather the massacre, erupted instantly!
The first to suffer was the sulfur crystal giant lizard that rushed out of the underground lava river in the northwest. It was over thirty meters long, covered with dark red scales that flowed with lava, and its back was covered with sharp sulfur crystals. When it opened its mouth, it could spew out poisonous lava that could melt steel.
But as soon as it burst out of the ground, it was surrounded by three lava giants, and six giant rock fists burning with blazing white flames came crashing down on it.
At the same time, more than a dozen fire wolves pounced on it like a leech, frantically tearing at its scales and armor. Their fiery fangs easily pierced through its protective layer, injecting it with violent fire poison.
In the sky, several fiery giant eagles circled and swooped down, each strike bringing up large chunks of flesh and charred carapace.
This formidable giant lizard was almost completely overwhelmed in the first encounter, only able to let out desperate and painful roars, struggling in vain amidst the flames. The sulfur crystals on its body were smashed piece by piece, and its flesh was charred and evaporated, creating a horrific scene.
A colorful venomous python emerged from the southeastern poisonous swamp, attempting to spew out a cloud of poisonous mist and lash out with its massive tail.
But dozens of half-human, half-snake fire demons wielded flaming whips, easily burning and purifying the poisonous mist. The whips even wrapped around their bodies, digging into their flesh and making a sizzling sound.
Several fire beetles struck the python's vital spot and head like heavy hammers. Each impact broke the python's bones and tendons, and colorful slime splattered everywhere, only to be instantly evaporated by the high temperature.
The dark gold poisonous shadow pounced from the west with lightning speed, attempting to use its speed and deadly poison for guerrilla warfare.
But what awaited it were more than thirty agile and equally fast Flame Wolves, as well as Flame Giant Eagles that blocked all its escape routes in the air.
Its dark green poisonous mist was quickly incinerated by the flames burning around the fire elemental creatures, as if it had met its nemesis.
Although the sharp claws and teeth tore open the bodies of one or two fire wolves, more fire wolves immediately pounced, trading blows for blows, or even engulfing them with pure fire energy in a self-destructive manner.
The other mutated creatures suffered the same fate, each being besieged by twenty or thirty powerful fire elemental creatures, and were almost instantly driven to the brink of destruction.
The collision of flames and magma, the tearing of claws and fangs, the explosion of energy impacts, and various muffled sounds, accompanied by the dying howls of mutated creatures and the roars of fire elemental creatures, echoed throughout this Valley of Death.
This was a completely one-sided and crushing defeat!
Dozens of fire elemental creatures besieged a mutated creature. No matter what abilities, how tough its body or how poison it possessed, it was all useless against the overwhelming numerical advantage and the equally fearless attack.
They were torn apart, burned, smashed, and dismembered, their deaths were particularly gruesome.
Huo Yu stood there, watching this scene. Instead of being happy, he was stunned for a moment, his eyes looking somewhat bewildered.
No, this isn't quite what she expected.
How come these mutated creatures are so weak? They can't even defeat a few of their own level and a bunch of "second-order" level summons?
The ones she summoned weren't very strong; she hadn't even used one-tenth of her spiritual power yet.
Everyone here is in the "first order". Oh, she broke through? Oh well, that's alright.
It's a bit of a shame about these mutated creatures. She was originally planning to let these summoned creatures wear them down first, and then she would go up and deal with them by herself.
It's been so long since I've done close combat that I'm really not used to it anymore.
In less than three minutes.
The final, mournful, and unwilling roar abruptly ended.
Eleven "first-order" level mutated creatures, enough to make any country other than China take them seriously, have all been reduced to charred remains scattered all over the ground.
Even complete body parts are hard to find.
Of the more than 300 Flame Elemental Creatures, about 40 to 50 were lost, but the main force remained.
They stood silently on the scorched earth, their burning flames illuminating the surroundings in a crimson glow, like the most loyal soldiers awaiting their next command.
With a casual wave of his hand, Huo Yu caused the massive fire magic circle and the remaining fire elemental creatures to vanish into thin air as if they had never existed.
"Let's go in and see what that rare and precious herb is."
"I hope there's a stronger mutated creature to protect us; these are all rotten fish and stinky shrimp."
Holy Light, Fallen Angel, and Druid looked at the battlefield before them, which looked as if it had been plowed by flames, and then at the somewhat disappointed Firefeather. For a moment, they were at a loss for words.
Is China's current military strength too exaggerated?
It's important to know that many countries only have one "first-order" level mutant organism.
They might be stronger than those affected by environmental factors, but it's impossible for one person to face so many; at most, it would be one against two or three.
If Huo Yu's level is already this high, then wouldn't Qin Tian's and Chen Bing's be even more outrageous?
