Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 1068 - 585: The Battle Reaches Fever Pitch! (Part 3)

The second line of defense has been breached.

But it doesn’t mean the second line of defense was useless, because after filtering through the bombings of the second line, the number of mutated creatures able to approach the World Tree is less than one in ten.

The explosions continue, and the second line of defense has not weakened.

After all, several heavy crossbows are installed on everyone’s treehouse.

Yet, the beast horde keeps surging in.

"It’s my turn to act!"

Wen Guixin had been waiting for this moment.

Seeing the mutated creature horde getting closer, she immediately charged forward with her giant scythe in hand.

Soon after, she brushed past the first mutated creature.

A flash of cold light.

The mutated creature paused, then a wound appeared on its side, and blood sprayed out directly.

And it seemed to not feel any pain, turning back to attack its original companions!

Wen Guixin quickly swung her scythe once more, slashing another one, then flipped and leaped onto its back, quickly riding around the tightening circle, injuring more than a dozen beasts.

At this moment, the beast horde was extremely concentrated, making it the perfect opportunity for her to use her abilities!

This time, the full power of her ability was fully revealed.

Suddenly, the circle of mutated creatures approaching the World Tree plunged into total chaos!

Numerous mutated creatures turned against their original companions!

Their companions paused for a moment in confusion.

The controller of them likely didn’t expect such a sudden turn of events.

"Hurry back!" Xu Xin immediately shouted to Wen Guixin.

Immediately, Wen Guixin rode the tiger below her and leaped over a trench about five meters wide, then dismounted and returned to her treehouse.

The tiger turned and leaped back over the trench, charging once more into the beast horde.

The scene was extremely tense for a moment.

The mutated creatures close to the World Tree’s trunk naturally wouldn’t give up their progress, instead becoming even more frenzied, recklessly charging toward the tree trunk.

With Wen Guixin’s abilities already spread out, only a small fraction of mutated creatures reached the trench.

All were individuals of exceptionally strong ability.

But the trench was five meters wide, leaving the leapable distance mainly to felines and antelope-like mutated creatures capable of strong jumps, some even directly jumped into the trench!

Seeing Wen Guixin return to her treehouse, the explorers’ members were finally relieved to attack.

Their configuration of heavy crossbows was far superior to those of the survivors of the second line of defense!

Explosive bolts, explosive heavy crossbow bolts, and metal bolts with extremely strong penetration.

Countless heavy crossbows began launching attacks on the beast horde.

With every attack, several powerful mutated creatures fell.

However, they still needed to conserve ammunition to deal with the upcoming underground and flying creatures.

The mutated creatures that managed to cross the trench weren’t faring well either.

The Plant Heart had begun to erupt!

Countless vines erupted from the ground, piercing the advancing mutated creatures one by one, some even thrusting them up into the air, leaving their broken bodies hanging and emitting ear-piercing wails.

The wails gradually weakened as they were subsequently dried into jerky by the Plant Heart.

Having not absorbed energy in a long time, the Plant Heart went berserk like a beast famished for days, unleashing its power wildly.

Once one crossed in, one was killed!

The battle reached a fever pitch.

Yet, the World Tree remained unscathed.

"Attention! The flying creatures are entering Crystal City airspace!" Ji Chaoyang warned the crowd.

"Creatures have burrowed underground! Less than a kilometer from the World Tree!" Qin Fu suddenly announced in the group.

Xu Xin’s gaze was solemn.

The most difficult moment had come.

The attack came from both the air and underground!
