Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded

Chapter 667 - 320: Wolf Ao Strikes, Retreat and Reinforce, Kill Again

With the growling howls coming from afar, the mightiest being in these mountains was making its way here with heavy footsteps.

Wolf Ao, a giant beast from ancient times, not only possessed a colossal body over twenty meters long, but its strength was also the greatest below Tier Three.

Otherwise, the Lord Bishop at his peak, together with the Tier Two peak Leader of the Salvation Army, Bai Ye, and the late-stage breakthrough Rock Horse Warrior, Li Hao, would need to join forces just to contend with Wolf Ao.

The decisive blow, however, came from the Thermite Annihilation Cannon in Lin Feng’s hands, with a power comparable to that of a battleship cannon.

So, when Wolf Ao appeared, the only option left for the Salvation Army and Lin Feng was to quickly retreat from the area and return to Oasis Town to use the advantageous terrain for defense.

As Wolf Ao charged from afar, the nearby mountain surfaces began to show slight tremors.

This ancient giant beast, counting its tail, was a terrifying twenty-five meters long and weighed hundreds of tons. With a speed of three hundred meters per second, each step turned the hard rocky surface into deep pits full of cracks, a few meters deep.

The Evolvers, including Lin Feng, although not as keen as the Evolved Desolate Wolf in environmental perception, were well aware of the approaching threat evident from the tremors and the previous terrifying howl.

Many of the Tier One Evolvers immediately turned pale.

They hadn’t expected that Wolf Ao, originally severely injured, would risk further injury at such a critical moment, abandoning its blockade of Oasis Town to join other Desolate Wolf Beasts in tackling the hard nut of the Salvation Army.

As for Xu Wanfeng and Bai Ye, their faces also turned grim, and their movements sped up.

Bai Ye took a moment to shout at the team members behind him:

"Quick! Hurry and rendezvous with Lin Feng!"

Now that Wolf Ao, at Tier Two peak, was about to strike, even Bai Ye, also at Tier Two peak, had no confidence in stopping the injured Wolf Ao.

After all, Tier Two Giant Beasts, whether in size or reserved energy, far exceeded human Evolvers of the same level.

The gap between the two was roughly three to five times.

Meaning, it would take at least three human strongpersons of the same level to contend with a Giant Beast, and that was when fully armed.

For a monstrous being like Wolf Ao, which had accumulated terrifying Tier Three Power within, it might require five Tier Two peak human strongpersons to suppress it.

Such a being is undoubtedly a candidate for Tier Three kingship within major forces, groomed as a Tier Three seed. Outside of special circumstances, where could you find five such individuals?

Thus, the Desert Wolf Race could survive in the Wasteland for so long not only because of the protection afforded by the All Gods Agreement, prohibiting Tier Three Kings from coveting the Wolf King’s Tomb, but also because of the strength of the Wolf Race Leader, Wolf Ao, which safeguarded the Wolf King’s Tomb from prying eyes.

Especially thousands of years later, with no Tier Three King emerging, the Tier Two Evolvers on the Wasteland could never pose a threat to Wolf Ao.

And under its command, the Desert Wolf Race naturally saw no need to invest more resources in cultivating late middle-stage Tier Two beings.

If it weren’t for a fear of having no successors, Wolf Ao wouldn’t even want to cultivate early-stage Tier Two Desolate Wolf Beasts, focusing all resources on self-preservation, an instinct of high-tier evolutionary life.

Only now, this ancient giant beast faces a major challenge.

A run-down human settlement that it thought it could easily control turned out to produce unexpected incidents one after another.

Not only did it suffer serious injuries due to greed for the late-stage Rock Horse Warrior, but even in the siege of the small Salvation Army, it suffered human counterattacks.

A Tier Two early-stage offspring was sacrificed in vain, and even the other two now faced the risk of being killed by humans.

For the birth of a new Wolf King, and continuity of its own future, the originally cautious Wolf Ao, who was ambushed on one side of Oasis Avenue, had to abandon its original plan and turn back to support the rear.

After being severely injured on the first attack, the determined Wolf Ao planned to adopt the simplest yet most reliable route for conquering...

That was to rely on crossing the mountains through Oasis Avenue to assault the coming Oasis Town.

The hundreds of meters high mountain terrain provided the best cover for the Wolf Race army during their assault.

Charging into Oasis Avenue down the slope was just a brief sprint of five to six hundred meters, enough to reduce human cannon fire damage by at least half, coupled with the boost of gravity-induced acceleration at the downhill, thousands upon thousands of the Wolf Race army, all rushing forward one after another...

They would surely withstand the firepower strikes from Oasis Town and break into Oasis Avenue, rushing into Oasis Town itself.

By then, as long as close-range entanglement ensued, largely limiting the use of human firearms, bullets fired from rifles and machine guns alone couldn’t threaten a late middle-stage Tier One Giant Wolf.

And in cold weaponry melee combat, human Evolvers, whether in size or in attack and defense, fell far behind the Evolved Desolate Wolves.

Each Evolved Desolate Wolf could simultaneously engage in combat with four or five human Evolvers, and the number of Evolvers in the resource-poor Oasis Town totaled only around four thousand. After subtracting the non-combat Upper Class, the Five Major Villages and Oasis Church could only muster about two thousand combat-capable individuals.

Even if the Wolf Race army suffered setbacks during the initial charge, only about three to four hundred would be lost, and they would still have a force of over ten thousand Evolved Desolate Wolves.

Among them, to ensure the annihilation of the Salvation Army, during the planning of the military operation, Wolf Ao specifically allotted a thousand Evolved Desolate Wolves to each of the three Tier Two early-stage Desolate Wolf Beast offspring.
