The quantity was somewhat shocking.
At the same time, Bai Ye's mind began to stir.
The last bandit attack was related to a hidden mission, so could this large-scale demon invasion also be related to a hidden mission?
Would the "Ghost" that Mu Lan had been searching for appear?
As Bai Ye pondered, he quickly scanned his surroundings, hoping to find Mu Lan's figure, or at least someone from the elite squad.
However, with the crowd moving all around, it was not an easy task to find them.
After searching for a while without success, Bai Ye had no choice but to give up.
"Wait a minute!" Bai Ye's eyes lit up. "I can't find them, but I can make them find me!"
With this thought, Bai Ye stopped moving forward with the crowd and forcefully pushed people aside.
"What are you doing!" someone shouted indignantly. "Keep moving forward, this place is already full."
Bai Ye ignored the curses from those around him.
Full?
Then stand on the parapet!
Bai Ye shoved aside the person by the parapet and then, with a flip, jumped onto it.
And at that very moment...
Because of Bai Ye, the attack at the parapet momentarily faltered, allowing a demon to charge upwards.
"Block them, block them!" someone nearby shouted loudly. "Don't let these things up, they're hard to deal with..."
The person's voice gradually faded, and they swallowed the rest of their words, staring at Bai Ye with a horrified expression.
The instant the demon charged up, Bai Ye reached out and grabbed it by the throat. No matter how much the demon struggled, it couldn't break free from Bai Ye's grasp.
Bai Ye turned back and asked, "What were you just saying?"
The person swallowed hard. "Nothing, I didn't say anything!"
"Oh!"
Bai Ye casually tossed the demon back down below the city wall and then made a lifting gesture with both hands.
"Steel Slime, Condense!"
Soon, a mud-like substance appeared on Bai Ye's body, rapidly solidifying into the form of the Vulcan Gatling.
Bai Ye lifted the gun and aimed it at the area below the city wall.
"Oho!" Bai Ye shouted. "Let's have a party!"
Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew, pew...
As Bai Ye pulled the trigger, the Vulcan Gatling roared to life, its barrels spinning and spitting fire. In the next instant, countless bullets rained down.
The bullets struck the demons' bodies, creating bloody holes and splattering large amounts of blood.
What was even more terrifying was what happened after 30 seconds...
King of Stationary Firing (When you stand and shoot for 30 seconds continuously without moving, your bullet damage is doubled)
Bai Ye had remained on the parapet without moving, so the bullet damage increase was triggered!
With the increased damage, Bai Ye's attack became terrifying.
The cascading bullets no longer merely wounded the demons; they easily pierced their bodies. If a bullet directly hit a demon's head, it would explode like a smashed watermelon, spraying blood and brains.
"Hoo, come on, hahahahaha..."
The scene of blood splattering also excited Bai Ye, and he let out a wild yell from atop the parapet.
The Chosen Ones around him were stunned. This guy was a true powerhouse!
Then...
The Chosen Ones immediately became excited and began attacking from the edges of the parapets.
At this point, by attacking alongside Bai Ye, they could at least get some scraps. What were they waiting for?
Almost instantly, below the section of the parapet where Bai Ye was, a portion of the demons was annihilated. Countless corpses piled up below the city wall, forming a small mountain.
However, this also gave the demons on either side an opportunity. They constantly maneuvered around, stepping on their comrades' bodies, climbing the corpse mountain, and attempting to leap onto the city wall.
"Someone find some kerosene!" Bai Ye shouted loudly while spraying madly with the Gatling gun. "Burn those corpses."
"No need, I know pyromancy." A Chosen One, imitating Bai Ye, jumped onto the parapet, pulled out a peach wood magic staff, and waved it downwards. "Oil Curtain!"
The ruby on the tip of the staff emitted a glow, which then traced lines, drawing a magic circle.
In the center of the magic circle, a large amount of black oil poured down, enveloping the corpse mountain below like a giant curtain.
Bai Ye's eyes lit up. He stopped firing and punched downwards.
Phoenix Ability activated!
As Bai Ye's fist descended, fierce flames erupted, wrapping around his arm and transforming into a pillar of fire that shot downwards.
With the Oil Curtain to fuel it, the piled-up corpse mountain instantly burst into flames, emitting a sizzling sound.
The demons that were trying to climb up the corpse mountain were engulfed in flames and continuously fell from the burning pile.
Watching the accumulating merits, Bai Ye exclaimed excitedly, "Awesome!"
However, in the next moment, Bai Ye saw the Chosen One who cast the Oil Curtain looking at him with a wronged expression.
Bai Ye let out an awkward chuckle. "You know fire magic?"
The Chosen One said mournfully, "If I didn't know fire magic, why would I learn Oil Curtain? To give myself an oil massage?"
This was indeed awkward!
Bai Ye quickly picked up the Vulcan Gatling again and said to the other person, "You do it, you do it. I'll just handle the spraying."
If he was going to get the main share, he had to leave some scraps for others, at least enough for them to taste the broth.
Bai Ye raised his gun and began firing again. The people around Bai Ye also attacked with excitement, their merits rapidly increasing.
However...
"Where are Mu Lan and Kai Die?"
Bai Ye's plan was to kill demons while shouting and making a scene, to be conspicuous, ostentatious, fierce, and crazy.
This way, the elite squad would see him and come to find him.
But he was killing a lot of demons...
Bai Ye glanced at his merit score. In just over ten to twenty minutes, he had accumulated over two hundred merit points. He had almost lost his voice from shouting while firing, and while it had excited the people around him, where was the elite squad?
Bai Ye mused if his method was unreliable. It seemed he needed a different way to find them, but at that moment...
Boom!
A loud explosion suddenly rang out from within the demon horde!
Along with the roar, fierce flames and black smoke billowed into the sky.
Bai Ye showed a hint of surprise. Someone had actually gone out to meet the enemy?
