In terms of defensive works, the current ferocious beasts are still kept at a distance of about thirty meters from the perimeter of the works.
Everyone knows that the ferocious beasts have not yet climbed onto the defensive works, and it's absolutely crucial to prevent them from doing so.
Whether they are in the sky or on the ground, once they climb onto the defensive works, what awaits ordinary human soldiers is one-sided slaughter.
Chu Tian took out a Ji Wu Yan pill and swallowed it, instantly restoring a significant amount of his spiritual energy.
He then took hold of a Level 4 spiritual energy crystal and began to recover the spiritual energy he had lost.
While restoring his own spiritual energy, he observed the entire battlefield.
At this moment, the ferocious beasts were organizing waves of attacks, attempting to climb onto the defensive works.
However, the formidable firepower of the humans had not yet shown any gaps.
If there were any lapses in the firepower network or if the coordination between the talented warriors was not perfect, the ferocious beasts could easily break through.
Moreover, the ferocious beast sitting in the distance, more than 130 meters tall, was truly a terrifying presence.
Human soldiers clad in heavy armor fired their heavy machine guns wildly at the oncoming ferocious beasts, while wielding large swords with high-speed chainsaw gears in their hands to fend off the constant attacks of the beasts.
Although the ferocious beasts were formidable, they were currently powerless against the soldiers wearing high-strength mixed-metal battle armor, as the defense of these metal suits was quite strong.
Chu Tian silently absorbed spiritual energy, and before long, Farid returned to the works with his two pets, panting for breath.
"Lao Ren, not bad at all. You've managed to withstand the battle on the front lines for two hours straight. This is my third time coming back for a rest," the innkeeper said, sitting down next to Chu Tian and taking out four Level 4 spiritual energy crystals from his spatial ring, tossing two of them to his two pet beasts and starting to recover himself with the remaining two.
Chu Tian just smiled faintly and continued to recover. After taking the Ji Wu Yan pill earlier, he had immediately restored one-third of his total spiritual energy.
After about ten minutes, Muketuo also returned and said to Chu Tian, "Thank you, Lao Ren. If Kunlun becomes untenable later, you should escape."
"Don't worry, if my life is truly in danger, I will escape," Chu Tian naturally wouldn't accompany the Kunlun humans in their sacrifice.
So if he really encountered danger, he might run faster than anyone else.
"If we can get through this crisis, I promise to move to another human base. After all, I've earned enough money, and it's time to find a wife and settle down," Farid chimed in at this moment.
Chu Tian asked with a smile, "Don't tell me you're still single?"
Farid shook his head and said, "I was killed by a ferocious beast in a mercenary mission ten years ago."
At this point, Farid discarded the spiritual energy crystal in his hand, which had already turned to ash, stood up, took a deep breath, and picked up his weapon again, saying, "Well, the brothers below are struggling, I need to go help."
With that, he leaped down from the defensive works.
Chu Tian was still recovering, and Muketuo also stood up at this time, preparing to go back into battle.
After feeling it for a while, Chu Tian could clearly feel that whether it was Farid or Muketuo, it seemed that they were changing positions when their spiritual energy was depleted to about one-fourth, which basically ensured that their spiritual energy could be used more effectively for sustained combat.
However, Chu Tian wasn't too worried. After all, he had the talent of the Spiritual Source, which allowed him to recover spiritual energy after killing ferocious beasts, giving him the ability to engage in high-intensity combat for about two hours.
With his spiritual energy almost fully restored, Chu Tian picked up his weapon and jumped down from the defensive works once again.
Flames burned in his palm, and he instantly threw several fireballs, smashing several ferocious beasts that were attempting to attack the old mercenaries. He then swung the Golden-Hooped Rod in his hand and smashed the head of a C-level ferocious beast into pieces. Afterward, he leaped back into the midst of the ferocious beasts.
There were many ferocious beast corpses outside, but Chu Tian couldn't absorb them openly. However, he could secretly collect them when he checked the battlefield later. After all, his system space was infinite, and he could easily decompose ferocious beast corpses in the system space, making it very convenient.
The green mist rose again, shrouding an area of more than 500 meters in radius.
Chu Tian put away the Golden-Hooped Rod, replaced it with the Emperor's Overlord Spear, and swung the long spear, beheading a ferocious beast with a sharp spearhead.
With a swing of his long spear, he could easily cut through the bodies of any A-rank or lower ferocious beasts.
At this time, the Swallowing Beast roared again, and then all the ferocious beasts stopped in their tracks, beginning to retreat like a tide.
At this moment, Chu Tian was surprised to find that almost ten thousand ferocious beasts had already come out of the rift torn open by the Swallowing Beast.
And most of these ten thousand ferocious beasts were A-rank to S-rank.
Seeing this, Chu Tian understood that the true main force of the beast tide had arrived. The battles they had been engaged in so far were obviously just vanguard troops used as cannon fodder.
