The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast

Chapter 855: Chapter 549: Pioneer

Fenghai Province Defense Line.

Seventh Army Station, Western Second Defense Zone Base.

Third World-Transcending Gate.

Still busy with the transportation of goods, still that gigantic world-transcending gate akin to a colossal bronze structure.

——There naturally exists weak points in the boundary wall between Blue Star and the Outer Battlefield.

The so-called world-transcending gates of various countries are mostly established on those natural special nodes.

Great Xia’s world-transcending gates, however, take it a step further.

Due to the existence of the marvelous star track, besides the space being more solid, almost all those fragmented weak points in the boundary wall within Great Xia are reinforced by a "rule" akin to "equivalent exchange".

As a cost, it allows the boundary wall at selected locations to become extremely weak.

This seems meaningless as it just relocates the weak point to another place.

But doing so actually creates a huge operational space.

Not only does it reduce the number of defense lines needed to guard against potential Demon Race invasions, but it also allows for selecting ideal locations to construct world-transcending gates, gaining significant geographical advantage.

This is why Great Xia’s world-transcending gates are often very close to the sects and families of the Nine Provinces’ strong individuals, the stationed Sect Guardian Divine Beasts, and military experts gathered in big cities, rather than in the wilderness or places devoid of people.

Even if it’s clearly revealed to the Demon Race where the boundary wall is weakest, they still have to face the prepared Great Xia military Spirit Masters and the impregnable defense line and fortresses, most of the time having no choice but to engage head-on.

At this moment.

At the core of the defense line, the core of the third world-transcending gate was slowly rotating, intermittently flickering, expanding, forming an unstable ripple-like blur, with scenes of Blue Star flashing by, indicating a connection to the other end of the world.

Around the gigantic structure, large accompanying facilities had already been built, belonging to the Spirit Masters and Spirit Beasts of Great Xia’s Seventh Army, who were constantly busy, transporting various materials transmitted from the other end to the frontlines for use, and occasionally seeing the massive protective barrier above ripple slightly due to the remote attacks with Demonic Qi.

"Damn, these demon bastards deserve to die, every last one of them!"

A rookie soldier in dark green military attire, with slightly sharp eyes, muttered, his eyes flashing light as he bestowed talents and Spirit Patterns to his contractual partner, a large damp frog covered in blue and green, with a throat that looked like a blue bell.

"Frog ding-ding——"

A layer of clear water membrane appeared out of thin air, lifting a container filled with Ethereal Crystals, measuring ten meters long and wide, and steadily placed it on a massive "Stream Kodo" measuring tens of meters long beside him.

He activated his Spiritual Power, looking at another soldier next to him, who seemed like a fresh university graduate, and spoke while working: "Xiao Li, did you know, I heard from the squad leader that during the time we’ve been here, the intensity of these Demon Race attacks increased so much, it’s almost comparable to the outbreak from over ten years ago."

The other rookie soldier, also working hard, replied: "Yeah, it feels like I see many people getting injured every day."

"Luckily, the facilities are getting upgraded, we soldiers below Three-Star don’t need to go out, just stay and guard the defense line and activate the array..."

"I heard that even colonel-level officers and generals have suffered some casualties recently."

"However, it’s said that the technology in recent years has become increasingly advanced. The last Grand Array was updated with new ones, and the effects and technology have improved, while the consumption even decreased a lot..."

"Recently, I’ve even received more Ethereal Crystals."

"Yes, when I take them home, my sister is starting college soon, I’ll give them to her..."

Yet at that moment, the conversations suddenly halted.

Including them, many soldiers and Spirit Beasts outside of buildings suddenly raised their heads.

In the gray-black sky, a small dot suddenly appeared, bringing an extremely ominous sensation.

Under the watchful eyes, the small dot began to grow rapidly within tens of seconds, revealing its true form.

It was an irregular sphere like rock and metal, burning with intense black Demonic Qi flames, seemingly thousands of meters wide.

It was a Demon Race!

The Spirit Rune Array has the function of isolating Demonic Qi and sound.

Yet despite this.

As its direction was precisely towards the most central defense array above the world-transcending gate fortress, approaching closer and closer, the pressure that seemed to cover the entire sky remained suffocating to the extreme.

At least several dozen times the speed of sound, carrying an immense amount of Demonic Qi!

So gigantic, yet rapid and stealthy, a collaborative assault initiated by at least tens of thousands of middle-tier Demon Race members, alongside the massively sized Demon King!

Almost instantly.

The three Six-star True Masters and Beast Kings stationed at the world-transcending gate fortress instinctively wanted to strike, to bring down this Demon King.

Yet at this moment.

The world-transcending gate suddenly opened again.

The rookie soldiers responsible for moving goods by the world-transcending gate widened their mouths in shock.

Flying out of the world-transcending gate was a not excessively tall figure, dressed in a black suit with slicked-back hair, looking approximately in his forties, handsome-faced.

——Is that?!

The middle-aged man raised his head, gazing at the frightening live meteorite that appeared like a terrifying natural disaster, his eyes flashing a blend of brown and green glow.
