Although there were many rats, the firearms in their hands were effective. Rows of interwoven firepower networks, like a dam, suppressed the black tide of rats 150 meters away.
When Qin Chao arrived, he was also puzzled. This world had things like nutrient capsules but no missiles. Was the tech tree perhaps skewed? It was definitely different from Earth.
Originally, Qin Chao felt somewhat at ease looking at the situation before him, but it seemed a group of large creatures had arrived behind the rat tide.
Li Yu's machine gun was at the forefront, leading the charge. Zhang Li and Liu Xin next to him were not in a hurry to open fire until dark figures appeared behind the rat tide, then they became focused.
Zhang Lei, who had been at the back of the team, also carried his battle saber and led Bai Mao to the front of the team, saying to the other three:
"Li Yu, continue to cooperate with the troops for fire suppression.
Liu Xin, be on alert. Zhang Li, find the big guys and snipe them.
Bai Mao and I will hold them off in front for you. We'll last as long as we can."
"Yes!" The four replied in unison.
Finally, the dark figures in the distance behind the rat tide rushed closer and closer. They were a herd of cattle. Among them, Qingfeng Wolves were vaguely interspersed, sweeping along with the rat tide as they charged.
Qin Chao looked at the charging beast horde and silently reviewed his memories.
Rats were considered a Level 1 Demonic Beast group. These wild cattle had immense power when charging, barely counting as Level 2 Demonic Beasts. But these Qingfeng Wolves were truly Level 3 Demonic Beasts, capable of manipulating Wind Blades. This was trouble.
With the help of the newly appeared beasts, the front line of the beast tide instantly advanced to within 50 meters of the trench. On the battlefield, this distance was practically face-to-face.
Qin Chao could even feel the cold gleam on the opposite bull's horns. Thinking of this, the speed at which he changed magazines quickened a few points.
Qin Chao observed the status of the 16th squad members while shooting. With the cooperation of the snipers and the firepower network, the cattle also fell regretfully at 50 meters from the front.
Suddenly, after a brown bull fell, a green shadow rushed through the firepower network and quickly charged towards the front line.
Qin Chao's heart jolted. In an instant, the firepower network converged on the green giant wolf. At this moment, Zhang Lei shouted loudly:
"Continue fire suppression! Leave this one to me!"
After speaking, he wielded his saber and charged straight at the Qingfeng Wolf, displaying an unstoppable Aura.
Qin Chao: "Good heavens, it's making my blood boil."
At the same time, as if by agreement, hundreds of figures within the battle line leaped out of the trenches and engaged in fierce combat with the green figures that had rushed out from the beast horde.
In the center of the battlefield, where Qin Chao could not see, Su Ling was manipulating the Xuanbing Blades around her to fight a giant tiger whose body was wreathed in cloud-like crimson flames. However, the giant tiger's strength was slightly superior to Su Ling's. If it weren't for an ice crystal necklace hanging on Su Ling's chest, which, when activated by Su Ling at intervals, unleashed waves of ice and snow to force back the Crimson Flame Cloud Tiger, Su Ling would have fallen long ago.
Qin Chao was showering bullets as if they were free, when he suddenly saw Liu Xin stand up and look at the distant sky, pointing and saying something to Zhang Li beside him.
Zhang Li turned the barrel of his anti-material sniper rifle towards the giant wolf that was fighting Zhang Lei, and shot the green giant wolf by surprise. A bloodied hole was blown out of its side, and it tried to leap to escape but was too slow to dodge and was cut down by the saber.
The opposing beast tide also pressed forward due to the lack of support from the anti-material sniper rifle.
Seeing this, Zhang Lei returned to the team.
Qin Chao now saw clearly that a large patch of dark clouds was floating over from the distant opposite side, approaching at a rapid speed.
"Damn it, it's avian Demonic Beasts."
The entire battle line stirred, but under the suppression of the officers, no major chaos occurred.
Qin Chao secretly thought upon seeing this scene:
The Demonic Beast ground forces were already evenly matched with this side. Now, with the addition of the flying units, I wonder if the army has any trump cards left.
At this moment, many officers emerged from the army's ranks. Without any apparent action, their bodies began to manifest fire, water, or ice. Some directly manipulated blades suspended around them, and some even had an unnamed Demonic Beast standing behind them...
Qin Chao was stunned. This world seemed a bit more complex than he had imagined.
There was no time to think further. The airborne birds were already closing in. It was no longer possible to keep the enemy at bay. The entire battlefield erupted into chaotic slaughter.
Qin Chao was on the verge of tears. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. There was no time to think further. He buried his head in the trench, raised his gun with both hands, and swept at the sky. With this battlefield density, aiming or not made little difference.
"This is bad. This is truly no way to heaven, no door to earth."
"I swear if I survive this time, I will study hard, and strive for progress every day... Bah, what nonsense. I will definitely..."
Unfortunately, an unlucky Qingjin Sparrow in the sky had half its head severed by a Wind Blade from an unknown direction and spiraled down towards Qin Chao's position. By the time Qin Chao noticed the shadow on him growing larger and larger, it was too late to look up.
"I must... such a big bird!"
Qin Chao was accurately struck by the Qingjin Sparrow, which was over three meters long and had wings as hard as iron. His last thought before fainting was:
"I forgot, I can't make a promise..."
The Demonic Beast crystal in the Qingjin Sparrow's head, mixed with blood, flowed down his clothes, which had been torn by the wings, to Qin Chao's wound, and was inexplicably absorbed and disappeared.
After he fainted, a mechanical voice sounded in Qin Chao's mind:
Detecting absorbable essence substance,

At this moment, the surrounding battle line, with the cooperation of land and air Demonic Beasts, was becoming increasingly precarious.
After a long while.
"Ah, huff huff huff..." Qin Chao gasped loudly as he woke up, looking at the large bird still pressing down on him, his heart filled with relief.
"Such a big bird couldn't crush me to death. Surviving a great disaster means future blessings, surviving a great disaster means future blessings."
Qin Chao struggled to push away the ruined carcass covering him and looked around.
Numerous Demonic Beasts had already broken through the battle line and were engaging in close combat with soldiers in the trenches.
As soon as Qin Chao stood up, he was targeted by a large rat 30 meters away. It shrieked with blood-red little eyes and pounced towards him.
"Damn it, they really don't give you a moment's rest."
Qin Chao said this without idling. He raised his rifle again and began to sweep. Under Qin Chao's outrageous accuracy, after dozens of bullets, the rat fell five meters in front of him.
A flashing point was revealed from the heavily damaged corpse.
"A drop! It's a crystal core."
