Chapter 322: Trapped in a Tough Battle.
```
"Peep!"
At that moment, accompanied by a somewhat weary chirp, the Flying Bird beside Little Lone Wolf flapped its wings once more.
This was the only Spiritual Type Alien Species among the guardians of the various factions in the Land of Adventure.
There used to be an Inuit with awakened spiritual power, but he was captured by the Ice Crystal Monsters when the forward Defense line collapsed, unable to retreat in time.
By now, he must have been taken back to The Far North!
Indeed!
After days of fierce combat and exploration in the sky, the Rock Thunderbird had confirmed that all these Ice Crystal Monsters and Ice Crystal Birds came from The Far North!
Even if some had encircled from other directions, their ultimate source was still The Far North!
The Far North, capable of dispatching such a group of extraordinary monsters, must be the Mysterious Iceberg that the Wolf King had warned to be closely monitored.
It was likely that even the elite forces sent to inform the Wolf King had been intercepted and killed by these Ice Crystal Monsters mid-journey.
Otherwise, reinforcements would have arrived by now, according to the timeline.
Hearing the chirp of the Spiritual Type Flying Bird beside him, Little Lone Wolf also lifted his head to the sky and noticed the return of the scouting Rock Thunderbird.
To conserve Physical Strength and minimize casualties, the Rock Thunderbird had been venturing out alone for reconnaissance.
Having broken through to become a New Species, the Rock Thunderbird boasted top-notch Speed and combat power, rendering it more efficient to scout alone than with other Variant Species Birds.
Moreover, the number of Ice Crystal Birds had been steadily increasing over this period.
Even the Rock Thunderbird, which had initially intended to break through the siege alone to deliver a message to the Wolf King, was impeded.
Because rapid flight through the sky was highly taxing on Physical Strength to begin with, not to mention the dense swarms of Ice Crystal Birds it had to face along the way.
If the Rock Thunderbird exhausted all its Physical Strength and newly acquired Origin Power, it too would inevitably meet a dead end!
Just like the Invincible Fierce Tiger before!
However, upon its return, the Rock Thunderbird started communicating with Little Lone Wolf after letting out an excited chirp.
Little Lone Wolf and the Rock Thunderbird were effectively the first and second-in-command defending the Land of Adventure, both highly intelligent Exotic Beasts.
After spending long years together, even with a language barrier, they had come to understand each other's basic intentions.
Especially with the Spiritual Type Flying Bird translating.
After the Rock Thunderbird returned, the emotions in its chirps were very Fervor.
After a brief exchange, Little Lone Wolf grasped that during the Rock Thunderbird's recon, it had felt intense vibrations and the roar of gunfire at the very edge of the Ice Crystal Monsters' encirclement. Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire
That could very well mean that the vanguard forces sent by the Wolf King had already engaged with the Ice Crystal Monsters!
It was even possible that the Ice Crystal Monsters' strategy of besieging without attacking the Land of Adventure was to divert a significant part of their forces to eliminate the incoming Wolf Pack members.
With this news,
Little Lone Wolf quickly summoned the remaining Variant Species from the various factions of the Wolf Pack to see how they might break out and join the arriving Wolf Pack reinforcements.
After nearly a month of grueling and bloody battles, the members of the different Wolf Pack Factions were all weary in body and spirit, with many long since sapped of their initial morale.
However, upon hearing that reinforcements from the main body of the Wolf Pack were on their way, they all regained their eagerness to fight!
The Wolf King's authority and reverence had long penetrated the hearts of every faction member!
The news that the Wolf King had sent reinforcements made each of them feel as if the ongoing siege was about to end!
The Wolf King was coming!
The dawn of victory was approaching!
There was no doubt about it!
Even if it wasn't the Wolf King himself, the very thought of reinforcements sent by the Wolf King still conveyed such a feeling!
Not for any particular reason, just because in their hearts, the Wolf King was akin to a deity!
Even if the Wolf King commanded them to die, they wouldn't hesitate!
Ever since their wild animal days, they had followed the Wolf King through battles across the East and West!
They had never seen the Wolf King defeated; he was always invincible and victorious in combat!
Therefore, their reverence and faith in the Wolf King were deeply ingrained!
But what they didn't know was that what the Rock Thunderbird had detected as so-called Wolf Pack reinforcements was merely a few field teams sent by the Wolf King to transport New Species blood and flesh!
It was just two thousand fully armed New Humans, and they hadn't even brought any real heavy-duty Technology Weapons!
Thus, these so-called reinforcements might not save this unprecedentedly brutal siege,
They were themselves mired in a quagmire, struggling against the endlessly charging Ice Crystal Monsters and Ice Crystal Birds, unafraid of death.
Three hundred miles south of the Land of Adventure, a fierce battle between human Technology Weapons and Ice Crystal Monsters was raging.
The sounds of human Technology Weapons and the shrieks of Ice Crystal Monsters melded into one!
At the forefront, a man clad in First-Class Mech Armor version 2.0 gazed at the sudden escalation of the battle with an expression of unmistakable urgency.
This man was Karn, holding the high-ranking status of High Beta Wolf,
```
Karn used to be the commander of the Human Faction's Special Combat Team,
but he made a hasty error during a campaign on the Siberia Plains that led to a devastating loss for the human forces while hunting a King Beast!
As a result, he didn't receive the commendation of the Lead Wolf like Tiffany and Vincent did during the award ceremony.
However, Karn had no complaints,
as it was indeed his mistake, and he had caused the deaths of many comrades-in-arms and brothers, which filled him with immense guilt!
Considering his merits and faults, being granted the status of High Beta Wolf was more than enough to satisfy him.
This time, he volunteered to escort the New Species flesh to the Land of Adventure,
because he wanted to earn enough military achievements and Pure Blood Food to compensate the surviving companions from that hunt.
But Karn had never anticipated that upon entering deep into the Arctic Tundra, and with only three to four hundred miles left to the Land of Adventure, they would encounter this endless horde of Ice Crystal Monsters and Ice Crystal Birds!
The collective strength of these Ice Crystal Monsters and Ice Crystal Birds was undeniable.
After all, even Little Lone Wolf, leading the various Wolf Pack Factions and relying on defensive fortifications, had fought a brutal battle!
Now, on the vast and indefensible Arctic Tundra, the power displayed by these Ice Crystal Monsters and Ice Crystal Birds was truly terrifying!
"Roar!"
"Caw!"
....
Countless Ice Crystal Monsters and Ice Crystal Birds were still roaring and cawing as they attacked Karn and the others!
"Kill! Where are the First-Class Mech Warriors? Start with smashing that Ice Crystal Giant to pieces for me!"
At this moment, Karn was covered in Ice Shards and blood, commanding the entire battlefield through the communication device on his Mech Armor!
Over two thousand New Humans who were escorting the New Species flesh had been fiercely battling these Ice Crystal Monsters and Ice Crystal Birds behind ice walls for a whole three to four days!
Even with Karn's elite Special Combat Team fighters, two-thirds had fallen in battle!
The only reason they were still holding on was due to the superiority of their Technology Weapons!
Technology Weapons were most effective against such boundless hordes, inflicting maximal casualties!
Even if they only had personal Technology Weapons, the fiery tongues capable of sweeping thousands of meters were turning many Ice Crystal Monsters and Ice Crystal Birds into Ice Shards in moments!
However, there were simply too many Ice Crystal Monsters and Ice Crystal Birds, along with some Ice Crystal Giants.
These Ice Crystal Giants had incredibly high defensive power, and normal Technology Weapons could barely make a scratch on them!
Even the specialized armor-piercing bullets and Ion Bombs on the First-Class Mech Armor needed about a dozen shots to shatter one!
As a result, in just a short span of three to four days, the reserve ammunition of the First-Class Mech Armored Warriors had been rapidly depleting, and they were close to running out!
"Kill! Damn it, what the hell are these Ice Crystal Monsters? Fuck, our brothers who went to send the message have also been intercepted! Has the Wolf Pack Faction at the Land of Adventure fallen?"
The captain of Karn's most elite field team was struggling against these Ice Crystal Monsters while also shouting over the communication device!
Everyone had been fighting tirelessly for three to four days, and their spirits were faltering!
Even those who seldom cursed were now swearing through the communication devices without a care for image.
In their hearts, they had given up hope for the Wolf Pack Factions at the Land of Adventure,
since the number of Wolf Clans stationed in the Land of Adventure was not large.
Even if the Wolf King had sent more humans over, the number barely exceeded ten thousand. How could such a quantity withstand this endless wave of Ice Crystal Monsters?
"Haha, these freaks want to annihilate us! I just tried to ascend in my Mech Armor for a moment, and was immediately targeted by those Ice Birds, damn it!"
"Fuck, let's go all out! These Ice Crystal Monsters clearly want us dead, but they seem more attracted to the New Species flesh. The Ice Crystal Monsters are densest around the five modified heavy trucks!"
"What a shame for so much King Beast Flesh! If we took it to market, think how many girls we could swap for it!"
"Haha, Aid, you old dog, I admire you for thinking of girls even in this desperate situation! You truly are the first in making the best out of the worst!"
"Boss Karn, my Mech Armor is out of ammo, heh, but I still have a big bomb. Watch out, I'm going to blow up those two Ice Crystal Giants now!"
....
At this moment, Karn's communication device was inundated with chaotic voices!
These voices were all too familiar, as they all were his trusted subordinates he had spent a long time with!
But now, each voice had lost its usual calm and steadiness and had taken on the madness of adrenaline rush!
Because it was clear to everyone that the firepower blockade was not going to hold!
Yet, in such desperate straits, not a single person uttered any words that would disturb morale; instead, they were determined to fight to the death!
As Karn watched a First-Class Mech Warrior he had promoted maneuver an ammo-depleted Mech Armor into the midst of Ice Crystal Monsters for a massive explosion, his eyes became bloodshot with frenzy!
"Fuck it! If we can't break through and we can't hold them back, then we're not going down without a fight! But make sure to blow up those five Temo heavy trucks for me, don't leave anything for these freaks!"
Just as Karn, fueled by rage, cranked the power of his First-Class Mech Armor to the limit,
a Wolf Clan beast, nearly thirty meters tall and covered in deep purple scars, was leading...
