Chapter 61: Chapter 60
"Archers, fire!"
The drumbeat changed once again. The archers of the Eagle Army immediately began to draw their bows and fire arrows at the advancing Taotie horde. With so many Taotie, they didn't need to aim precisely; even blind shooting would hit targets.
However, compared to the massive damage caused by the catapults, the archers' efforts were less effective. The Taotie had thick hides and tough flesh, making them largely resistant to arrow attacks. Only hitting their eyes, located under their armpits, was truly effective.
The Taotie moved incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, they were at the base of the city walls. Chen Ye's eyes flashed coldly as he pulled out his throwing blades and hurled them at the Taotie below.
With the aid of his telekinesis, he aimed directly for the Taotie's eyes.
"Pff! Pff! Pff!"
One by one, the charging Taotie fell, slaughtered by Chen Ye.
"You have killed a Taotie (Soldier Beast), gaining 100 points!"
"You have killed a Taotie (Soldier Beast), gaining 100 points!"
"You have killed a Taotie (Soldier Beast), gaining 100 points!"
The system notifications were music to Chen Ye's ears, motivating him to kill even more fervently.
Unleashing his full telekinetic power, Chen Ye ensured that nearly every thrown blade hit its mark. Additionally, he could retrieve the blades with his telekinesis.
However, even Chen Ye couldn't manage multiple tasks simultaneously. Through experimentation, he found he could control up to five blades at once effectively. Even so, his kill rate was astonishingly fast.
Within minutes, the base of the city wall where he stood was piled high with Taotie corpses, and he had accumulated thousands of points.
Awesome!
No wonder online guides said that personal instances were rare and incredibly valuable. Encountering one was like winning the lottery. Personal instances were indeed vastly different from public instances.
While Chen Ye was engrossed in the slaughter, a sudden scream nearby caught his attention. The Crane Army, composed of women, had suffered casualties. They used zip-line attacks, plunging down with spears to kill Taotie, but as their numbers grew, the Crane soldiers were often overwhelmed and torn apart after killing one.
Chen Ye saw that General Lin Mei was personally fighting and showing great bravery, narrowly escaping the Taotie's grasp several times. The zip-line attacks were extremely physically demanding, and after a few minutes, General Lin Mei was panting, her forehead covered in sweat. Despite this, she continued to fight.
Seeing this, Chen Ye frowned. He felt that Lin Mei's intense fighting could lead to an accident. So, while continuing to kill Taotie, he kept part of his focus on her. It would be a real shame if such a beautiful woman were to be eaten by Taotie.
A few minutes later, Chen Ye finally accumulated 8,000 points. Without hesitation, he upgraded his Armament Haki to the Expert level. Instantly, he felt a change in his legs, now capable of utilizing Armament Haki.
Just as Chen Ye was feeling pleased, a sudden cry rang out.
"General!!!"
Looking over, he saw that General Lin Mei's zip-line had been bitten through by a Taotie, causing her to fall into the midst of the Taotie horde.
"Damn! This wasn't in the original plot!"
Chen Ye was shocked.
"Could it be that the plot changed because I got rid of those two Westerners?"
Without further thought, Chen Ye jumped onto the wall and then leaped down…
-At the Base of the Wall-
General Lin Mei landed and instinctively swung her spear, scattering the Taotie around her. However, seeing the countless Taotie surrounding her, her face turned pale. It seemed inevitable that she would die this time. Yet, she felt no fear or regret. Dying on the battlefield was a soldier's destiny.
Just as Lin Mei was resigned to her fate, a tall figure suddenly descended from above, landing in front of her.
Chen Ye landed, immediately drawing his black sword, Shusui. Simultaneously, he threw all twenty of his hidden blades, maximizing his telekinetic output.
The blades, under the force of his powerful telekinesis, flew through the air like a meat grinder, shredding any Taotie that approached.
Chen Ye stood firm, gripping Shusui. Any Taotie that managed to slip through his telekinetic defenses was instantly cleaved in half by his sword.
He looked like a war god!
