Chapter 227: The Shattered Wall
The moment Xu Kai reappeared at the west wall, he felt the difference in the air.
It was heavier. Darker. More hopeless.
A thick stench of blood and scorched earth filled his lungs. The sky above was darkened with smoke, and the wall trembled beneath his feet as if it was about to collapse. Cracks spread along the stones like spiderwebs. Below, beyond the base gates, was a sea of mutated beasts—howling, clawing, climbing—tearing their way forward like they were possessed.
Xu Kai’s eyes widened at the sight.
The number of beasts here wasn’t just large—it was overwhelming. Hundreds upon hundreds surged across the earth like a tide of death. Each one was massive, monstrous, and far more powerful than what had attacked the south.
These weren’t weaklings.
These were Level 7, 8, and 9-class beasts—dozens of them. Their thick hides shimmered with energy, and their claws cracked against the walls with bone-breaking force. Some of them were even intelligent enough to target the same weak spot repeatedly. Their bloodshot eyes were fixed on the base like they could smell the fear inside. They weren’t just attacking.
They were hunting.
And the wall, under their endless onslaught, was beginning to buckle.
He saw awakened fighters struggling to hold them back. Some stood at the top of the wall, throwing out elemental attacks—fire, wind, ice, electricity. But none of it was enough. The beasts were too many. Too strong.
Xu Kai’s eyes quickly scanned the wall, his sharp gaze darting from face to face.
