#78 - Chapter 78 Crushing from the Abyss

A monster's head with six small, narrow eyes and a pair of twisted horns emerged from the abyssal portal.

This monster had a snake-like forked tongue, but its tongue was a deep purple color.

Its size was one of the largest that Li Qi had ever seen in a monster.

Only slightly smaller than the Imp Matriarch Caroline, which Wu Wei possessed.

"Crack!"

And when this monster poked its head out of the abyssal portal, Li Qi clearly heard the sound of the portal groaning under the strain.

But these weren't the things that Li Qi feared the most.

What truly terrified him was that the monster was clutching a large number of Goblin Bomb fragments in its hand.

Although a large number of wounds appeared on the body that it gradually revealed from the abyssal portal, none of these wounds were fatal.

On the contrary, the constant bleeding instead drove this monster into a state of frenzy.

Even though it hadn't completely emerged from the portal, the violent aura that it exuded had already caused the short gnomes and goblins to tremble.

"Fire!"

Now, Li Qi finally understood why the Abyssal Lord had laughed.

Because he had foreseen all of this.

The reason he was so confident was because he had already prepared this monster in his territory.

He was waiting for Li Qi to actively approach the portal!

Thinking of this, Li Qi immediately ordered all the warriors to fire, trying to unleash their firepower on the monster as much as possible before it passed through the portal, to knock it down.

But the problem was that the previous dozens of Goblin Bombs had only injured this monster.

Now, a volley of these shells simply couldn't directly eliminate it.

Boom boom boom!

Countless shells exploded on the monster with twisted horns, knocking it to the ground several times.

But each time, it still got up from the ground and roared as it charged towards Li Qi and the others.

However, after the second round of volleys, coupled with the burning of countless flamethrowers, this monster finally collapsed completely to the ground, motionless, just one second before reaching the steam battle group.

"Huff...."

Although he was frightened, Li Qi still forced himself to calm down.

[What's going on? Why would such a powerful warrior, who doesn't belong to heroes, heroic spirits, or generals, appear in Wu Wei's territory?]

[And looking at its attribute strength, this should be a unit that can only be built in the Third Era, or even close to the Fourth Era.]

[How did Wu Wei manage to create such a monster by skipping technology? Was it some kind of lucky encounter? Did he accidentally obtain such a monster original?]

Although he was very unwilling to believe it, just like how steam tanks could have a crushing effect on the armies of Wu Wei, Gu Changqing, and others after skipping an era,

This huge demon warrior also had the special feature of attribute crushing against Li Qi's army.

Although the warriors under Li Qi managed to eliminate it.

But this was the result of two rounds of concentrated fire from all the warriors to take down just one monster.

Li Qi had reason to believe that if a few more such monsters appeared, then his army would definitely...

Crack! Crack!

Suddenly, Li Qi's face turned extremely pale.

Because after that monster fell, the second, third, fourth... similar monsters began to emerge from the abyss gate.

Unlike the first one, which was covered in wounds as soon as it appeared, the newly appearing monsters were all in full condition.

And even more terrifying was that when these monsters left the portal, more footsteps also appeared.

In other words, there were more monsters waiting on the other side of the portal to come to this world!

"This is impossible!"

Li Qi's eyes widened, somewhat doubting his life.

But the current situation no longer allowed him to do anything else.

"Everyone, fire immediately and destroy the portal!"

Then, he grabbed the gun from a gnome who was in a daze next to him and started firing at the portal first.

Li Qi reacted quickly.

In the current situation, he and his army no longer had the energy to deal with a greater number of monsters.

So he had to quickly pour his firepower onto the portal and destroy it.

But if the appearance of these monsters would make Li Qi feel terrified and surprised, then his attack on the portal would make him completely despair!

Boom boom boom!

No matter how the artillery fire covered these portals, Li Qi did not receive any notification from his Heavenly Dao system that he had caused damage to the enemy's portal.

After excluding the possibility that the Heavenly Dao system would make a mistake, there was only one possibility that could cause this situation to occur.

That is, the abyss portal built by Wu Wei is indestructible.

It is in some kind of absolute "invincible" state.

Perhaps magic, arcane arts, and psionic abilities can expel this abyss portal, but simply trying to destroy these portals from the abyss with force is simply nonsense.

"This is impossible, there must be a mistake!"

Faced with such a result, Li Qi's eyes were bloodshot, and he kept firing his gun at the abyss portal while making judgments in his mind at lightning speed.

"In the Lord Era, it is impossible to have such a building, because the existence of such a building is equivalent to destroying the rules of the Heavenly Dao!"

"Moreover, according to normal logic, this stage of warrior cannot be manufactured!"

"...."

But Li Qi didn't have time to say more.

The monsters that poured out of the abyss portal no longer gave him a chance to speak.

Thump thump thump!

Under the command of the Abyssal Lord, this group of monsters launched a charge towards Li Qi's army, which was less than a few hundred meters away from them.

And it was only the first wave of charge.

This group of warriors belonging to Wu Wei crushed the first row of constantly firing steam tanks.

That's right, they crushed them.

These steam creations with more than 1500 armor points could not resist this group of at least Fourth Era monsters.

It's like a World War I tank being completely crushed by a 20th-century tank.

These prides of Li Qi, along with the gnomes and goblins who drove them, were crushed into pieces by this group of monsters.

What was even more terrifying was that the number of these monsters was a full 12!

"No!"

In despair, Li Qi was crushed into a pile of minced meat along with a fleeing goblin.

Although he can be resurrected during the Lord Trial stage.

But this batch of his hard work, the legions that were built with so many resources, have become a pile of scrap metal.

Before, he did use his strong technology to completely crush the demons on Wu Wei's side.

And now, the abyss used the same crushing method to return the humiliation he suffered completely!

This is a crush from the abyss.
