The sheer number was somewhat daunting.
At the same time, Bai Ye's mind began to stir.
The last time the bandits attacked, it was related to a hidden mission. So, would this large-scale invasion of demon seeds also be related to a hidden mission?
Would the "Ghost" that Mu Lan had been searching for appear?
As Bai Ye thought, he quickly scanned his surroundings, hoping to find Mu Lan's figure, or at least others from the elite squad.
However, with heads bobbing all around, it was not easy to find them.
After searching for a while without success, Bai Ye had no choice but to give up.
"Wait a moment!" Bai Ye's eyes lit up. "I can't find them, but I can make them find me!"
Thinking this, Bai Ye stopped walking, no longer moving forward with the crowd. Instead, he forcefully pushed people aside.
"What are you doing!" someone shouted indignantly. "Keep moving forward, it's all crowded here."
Bai Ye ignored the people cursing around him.
Crowded?
Then he would stand on the parapet!
Bai Ye pushed aside someone by the parapet and then, with a flip, jumped onto it.
And it was at this moment...
Because of Bai Ye, the attacks at the parapet paused for a beat, allowing a demon seed to surge upwards.
"Block them, block them!" someone shouted loudly. "Don't let them come up, they're hard to deal with..."
The person's voice grew fainter, and he eventually choked back the rest of his words, staring at Bai Ye with a look of horror.
The instant that demon seed lunged up, Bai Ye actually reached out, grabbed it by the throat, and no matter how the demon seed struggled, it couldn't break free from Bai Ye's grasp.
Bai Ye turned his head and said, "What were you saying just now?"
The person swallowed hard. "Nothing, I didn't say anything!"
"Oh!"
Bai Ye casually tossed the demon seed back down below the city wall, then raised his hands forward.
"Steel Slime, Condense!"
Soon, a mud-like substance appeared on Bai Ye's body, rapidly solidifying into the form of the Vulcan Gatling.
Bai Ye lifted the gun and aimed it at the area below the city wall.
"Woohoo!" Bai Ye shouted. "Let's party!"
Thump, thump, thump, thump, thump, thump...
As Bai Ye pulled the trigger, the Vulcan Gatling roared to life, its barrels spinning continuously, spitting flames. In the next instant, countless bullets rained down below.
The bullets struck the demon seeds' bodies, tearing open bloody holes and causing large splashes of blood.
Even more terrifying was what happened after 30 seconds...
King of Standing and Shooting (When you have been standing and shooting for 30 seconds, and remain in a stationary state, your bullet damage is doubled).
Bai Ye had been standing on the parapet the entire time without moving, so the bonus damage effect was triggered!
With the increased damage, Bai Ye's attacks became terrifying.
The falling bullets no longer just wounded the demon seeds; they easily pierced their bodies. In fact, if a bullet directly hit a head, the demon seed's head would explode like a smashed watermelon, splattering crimson blood and white brain matter everywhere.
"Come on, hahahahaha..."
The scene of blood splattering also excited Bai Ye, who let out wild shouts from atop the parapet.
The chosen ones around him watched in stunned silence. This guy was clearly a true warrior!
Then...
The chosen ones immediately became excited and occupied the edges of the parapet, launching their attacks.
Following Bai Ye's lead, they could at least get some scraps. What were they waiting for?
Almost instantly, below the parapet where Bai Ye was, a section of the demon seeds was forcibly eliminated. Countless corpses piled up below the city wall, forming a small mountain.
However, this also gave the demon seeds on the flanks an opportunity. They continuously maneuvered around, stepping on their fallen comrades' bodies, climbing the corpse mountain, and attempting to leap onto the city wall.
"Someone find some oil, quickly," Bai Ye shouted while madly spraying with his Gatling gun. "Burn those corpses."
"No need, I have fire magic," a chosen one said, jumping onto the parapet like Bai Ye. He then produced a peach wood magic staff and waved it downwards. "Oil Curtain!"
The ruby on the tip of the magic staff emitted a glow. The light then continuously drew lines, forming a magic circle.
In the center of the magic circle, a large amount of black oil poured down, like a giant curtain, enveloping the corpse mountain below.
Bai Ye's eyes lit up. He stopped shooting and punched downwards.
Phoenix ability activated!
As Bai Ye's fist descended, fierce flames erupted, wrapping around his arm and transforming into a pillar of fire that shot downwards.
With the Oil Curtain to fuel the flames, the piled-up corpse mountain immediately blazed, emitting sizzling sounds.
The demon seeds trying to climb up the corpse mountain were engulfed in flames and fell from the burning pile.
Looking at the accumulating merit points, Bai Ye exclaimed excitedly, "Awesome!"
However, the next moment, Bai Ye saw the chosen one who had cast the Oil Curtain looking at him with a resentful expression.
Bai Ye chuckled awkwardly. "You have fire magic?"
The chosen one said with a sigh, "If I didn't have fire magic, why would I learn Oil Curtain? To give myself an oil massage?"
This was indeed awkward!
Bai Ye quickly picked up the Vulcan Gatling again and said to the other person, "You do it, you do it, I'll just handle the shooting."
If he was going to eat the meat, he had to leave some scraps for others, or at least let them have a taste of the broth.
Bai Ye resumed firing his gun, and the people around him also attacked with excitement, their merit points soaring.
However...
"Where are Mu Lan and Kai Die?"
Bai Ye's plan was to kill demon seeds while shouting loudly, making himself as conspicuous, ostentatious, ferocious, and crazy as possible.
This way, the elite squad would see him and come to find him.
But he was killing quite a few demon seeds...
Bai Ye glanced at his merit points. In just twenty minutes, he had accumulated over two hundred points. He was shouting while firing, his voice almost hoarse. The people around him were getting excited, but where was the elite squad?
Bai Ye pondered if his method was unreliable. It seemed he needed to find another way to find them, but at this moment...
BOOM!
A deafening explosion suddenly erupted from the demon seed horde!
Along with the explosion, raging flames and black smoke billowed into the sky.
Bai Ye showed a hint of surprise. Someone had gone out of the city to engage the enemy?
