Chapter 1356: Demon Rats Closing In

“We are not going to survive this.” Jia Le, the Bellflower Cultivator said as she panted heavily, trying to catch her breath. She and a few other Pandarens recognised the Demon Rat Elites from a glance and they knew how crazy strong they were.

They were akin to fighting against Iron men on steroids and it took some coordination from the Pandawans to put down a few of them together at their tip top form. So, to fight against this many when they were this weary, it was counting death. Even if Xiong Da and the others were to join them now, they still could not guarantee that they would come out alive from this ordeal.

Not to mention, these Demon Rat Elites felt different. It was as if the ones they had sent were not the true elites or perhaps the equipment they used was vastly different. It felt like the Demon Rats had decided not to underestimate the humans and go all out with whatever machinations they had. 

And that was not an exaggeration when they realised that the Pandarens were being bombarded by the Demon Rats in a consistent manner. Sniper shots, elemental bolts of magic and even artillery were used against the construction of this base camp. The Battle Alchemists were trying their best to put up a brand new defensive array formation since it was at least tens of metres away from the original one but the constant barrage had forced them to create temporary measures like layered ‘pinpoint’ magical barriers while a dedicated batch of battle alchemists continued setting up the defensive array formation.

“Five Point Wall Reflection Defensive Array Formation.”

It was the simplest array and the most basic any formation array master would learn. It was meant to be set up in emergencies and formidable enough to not just stop attacks but also deflect any projectiles from the enemies. The array had been improved continuously throughout the years to include fast velocity objects like bullets but unlike other Defensive Array Formation, it could not ‘proactively attack’ the enemies. It was merely a roundabout barrier that provided some sort of protection for a certain amount of time.

However, because it was the Royal Zodiac Battle alchemists that were creating it, they had years of experience and centuries of experience to finetune it, making it one of the easiest arrays to maintain. As long someone continued to insert chi into the array’s core, the array would be up and running almost indefinitely.

Yet, it was easier said than done since every second on the battlefield felt like an hour passing as the remaining battle alchemists were conserving their energy by calculating where the elemental bolts were falling on and they tried their best to create a small yet concentrated energy shield to block the attack.

Unfortunately, they were still vulnerable to sniper fire in the chaos and a few battle alchemists had fallen despite attempts to block those sniper fire before they came too close for comfort, 

“We have to break their kill box zone or we would be trapped.” Shi Zuo said as he recognised the very same tactic the Demon Rat Elites were using. But instead of only swords and shields, he noticed that there were barrels sticking from the shadows. 

“Oh shi-” Shi Zuo hectically took out his giant size axe and used it as a shield while the Demon Rats sent a volley of fire while hiding behind the Demon Rat Elites. Tens of Pandarens who died did not expect that the Demon Rats were going into the fray shooting at the enemies with their comrades fighting. 

But even when their Demon Rat comrades were to fall, another wave of rats jumped out right behind the Demon Rat Elites and entered the fight. They did not care about killing their own race as long as they contributed to the death of the Pandarens. So what if these humans have the ability to return to the battlefield? The Demon Rats were going to use fear and constant pressure to make sure that you never come back.

“This is bullshit!” Deng Long said as he got a dead Demon Rat as a meat shield to absorb the attacks. “Sorry Bu Dong my dear bro. I am going to use it first!” He said to himself as he knew that if nothing was done, all the help that was rendered to them, especially the pillar, would all be in vain again. 

From his pocket, he took out his phone and even though his face was filled with dirt and splatters of blood, his phone still managed to recognise him. He quickly swiped to where his Pandamonium App was and used voice commands to talk to the app. (Fun fact: If the Pandarens ever knew that the App Voice they were using was the same as Jin’s System, and knew the truth, they might have pissed their pants.)

“Get me my suit! The one I bought with Bu Dong from the Night Market!’ Deng Long said so casually and ordinary people who heard it might have thought that he was talking to someone real but it was merely just the app itself. Yet, the app understood what he was talking about despite his crudeness in his request. No other app or voice app would have understood what he meant and that was a complexity that Huawee Phone App Specialists were wrecking their brains like mad. They could never figure out how Jin and his team of app developers were able to create such a highly sentient artificial intelligence in an app. (But that is for another story to tell.)

“Understood, please stand by. Transmitting the designated suit in five seconds. Please stand clear of the assigned area.” Within an instant, the app acknowledged his request and transmitted the ‘suit’ that Deng Long had asked for while he kicked and smacked the Demon Rats that were charging at him.

“Just you wait, you filthy Rat Elites. Do you think that those hot suits that you are wearing would protect you for long? I am going to plummet you like never before!” Deng Long said as he used an advanced technique to clear the area so that his ‘suit’ could land safely.
