Chapter 558: Chapter 350: Dawn Era Survival Strategy Outline 2

This was one of the superpowers it had awakened—Spiritual Bamboo Arrow. Li Xiang had tested it; not even Extraordinary Battle Armor below Tier Ten, condensed from his Crystal Gold Armor, could withstand it. Its power was astonishing.

Outside, high in the sky, the nine Saint Tier beasts were losing, as they were vastly outnumbered by the Saint Tier Exotic Beasts.

Jiang Cai’Er’s figure suddenly flickered, and she appeared in the center of the battlefield. She tapped her finger on the brow of a Saint Tier Exotic Beast, and the massive creature froze instantly—inside its Sea of Consciousness, every possible line of attack had transformed into an unsolvable mathematical puzzle.

What kind of education could an Exotic Beast possibly have? How could it solve such a difficult problem? It was momentarily baffled, and its strength wasn’t enough to forcibly break through Jiang Cai’Er’s mathematical maze.

Seizing that split second, the flaming wings of the Red-Striped Phoenix-Winged Tiger swept past, and the Exotic Beast was decapitated.

Jiang Cai’Er turned, an endless stream of data flashing through her pupils. Twenty "Bayesian Storm" warheads shot out from her forehead. Where the probability cloud enveloped them, the left forelimbs of three Saint Tier Exotic Beasts suddenly quantized, vanishing into a parallel dimension.

Jiang Cai’Er was simultaneously helping the nine beasts and dividing her attention to control various unmanned systems. Fortunately, her super-brain could process hundreds of thousands of tasks at once.

"Third anti-aircraft array, load railgun rounds!"

The command was issued, and a hundred-meter-diameter silo suddenly split open in the ground. Twelve tungsten alloy projectiles, wrapped in plasma, soared into the sky. The diving flock of Blazing Heaven-Burning Eagles was instantly obliterated into a rain of blood mist and feathers.

In the sky, a Saint Tier Exotic Beast witnessed Jiang Cai’Er’s overwhelming power and was struck with fear. It broke out of the encirclement to escape but was blocked by Tuantuan. The Kung Fu Panda unleashed a burst of Soft Strength. A massive claw of energy extended out dozens of meters. CRACK! It actually bent the Exotic Beast’s spine into a right angle.

Meanwhile, a Void Soul-Devouring Leech was incinerated to ash by the Little Fox’s Fox Fire.

When Li Xiang returned, the battle was actually already nearing its end. Even if he hadn’t shown up, Jiang Cai’Er and the others would have been able to repel the invading enemy.

However, with Li Xiang joining the fray, the Exotic Beasts’ rout was even faster. In less than half an hour, not a single one of the twenty-odd Saint Tier Exotic Beasts escaped alive.

Although Li Xiang was only at the Tier Twenty-Two Realm, the Attributes of his various Superpowers were outrageous. For instance, his Extreme Speed reached Mach 40, a speed that even many Divine Tier beings couldn’t achieve. With his true combat power, he could likely cross a major Realm and challenge even a low-level Divine Tier.

Once the leaders of the Saint Tier Exotic Beasts were dead, the remaining ones below Saint Tier lost all will to fight. They were routed by Li Xiang, Jiang Cai’Er, and the nine beasts, scattering in all directions.

"Brother Xiang, you’re finally back." Jiang Cai’Er stumbled and nearly fell, but Li Xiang quickly caught her in his arms.

"Don’t worry, I’m here now." Li Xiang gave her a kiss, and the other beasts all tactfully looked away.

However, this wasn’t the right time for intimacy. In reality, Jiang Cai’Er was fine. She had just been overtaxing her brain, simultaneously controlling innumerable unmanned systems and weapons to manage the entire battlefield—issuing tens of thousands of commands per second—while also fighting powerful Saint Tier Exotic Beasts, even managing to kill several in a short period. It was a complete overload. She had been gritting her teeth and pushing through, but the moment Li Xiang returned, she allowed herself to relax. Feeling slightly dizzy, she put on a display of frailty.

Indeed. Thirty percent exhaustion, seventy percent performance.

And just as she’d hoped, Li Xiang’s heart ached for her. He was filled with overwhelming tenderness.

All nine Saint Tier beasts were injured. The Golden Tiger had even broken one of its claws. Each of its claws, when extended, was like an alloy blade dozens of centimeters long, capable of piercing through Tier Eighteen Battle Armor in a single strike. But its opponent had been too powerful, and now it was missing one of its precious claws.

"It’s okay, it’ll grow back." Li Xiang rubbed the Golden Tiger’s head comfortingly. Then, he checked the injuries on each of his Spirit Pets, having them swallow Spirit Dew Rain and feeding them Saint Tier Spiritual Medicine.

Then, the Alloy Gate opened, and the two of them and the nine beasts entered the Underground City.

Tuantuan, the Golden Tiger, the White Elephant, and the others were originally meant to guard the surface, but now they were injured. Li Xiang, worried they might be ambushed by Exotic Beasts, sent them into the Underground City to recuperate.

With the first wave of the Exotic Beast attack repelled, the entire Li Family Village Underground City—the main city and its twelve satellite cities—erupted in cheers. Streetlights flickered on, lights in residential buildings blinked to life, and people poured onto the streets to share their joy.

The injured warriors and Spirit Pets were taken off duty to receive treatment and rest, while the uninjured rotated in to take their shifts.

To ensure round-the-clock security, the warriors and Spirit Pets were divided into three shifts.

Many non-combatant youths also volunteered to participate in the base’s defense and patrols, but Li Xiang politely turned them down.

Li Xiang told them to use this time for their Cultivation. The concentration of Extraordinary Particles was high, making it the perfect opportunity to train. It wouldn’t be too late for them to help once they grew stronger.

Li Xiang went to check on his grandmother and the children, then headed into the conference room with Jiang Cai’Er to get an update on what had happened.

"Hundreds of Underground Cities have sent distress calls. We’ve completely lost contact with some of them. We didn’t dare to act rashly before, so I only sent Yao Yao and her team to support the three nearest satellite cities."

Jiang Cai’Er tried contacting Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui. Soon, a live feed from their location appeared on the large screen in the conference room.

"Ah? Brother Xiang, you’re back?!" Yao Yao and the others were thrilled.

"What’s the situation over there?" Li Xiang asked.

"The casualties are heavy. We’re administering treatment now." Yao Yao, Zhao Xueqing, and Lei Xiaohui each gave a brief report. They had also brought along a sizable number of people, including some Extraordinary Beings.
